I plan on buying a Pixel XL 32GB, as soon as I get the money. But thinking ahead, what is the best ROM for the Pixel XL? Preferable that is well supported and maintained.

Keep it with the stock rom. That's the best for me. I was a flasholic until I bought Pixel XL.
Same.
I dabble a bit with the other Tom's here but always end up on stock with root and a kernel.
Pixel dust is nice though, so is lineage.... Well they are all nice, but I'd run stock for a while

Thanks! But when it come to kernels, which on should I use?
Bootleggers
My goto is KingKernel, with blackened mod. Many choices of governors, I/O schedulers, network TCP. Then you can decide which works for your needs. With a little practice, patience try them all
I must be the only one who keeps going back to Android O. I tried P three different times now. Each time I wipe my phone and start from scratch but still immediately notice worse battery life. Doesn't matter it I'm stock or on a ROM.. and then as soon as I go back to oreo it gets better. That said I'm probably gonna try PixelDust for Oreo I guess cause I am getting bored with stock
If you want an official custom rom with quick updates and a large community then go with Liquid Remix, they've been around forever for a reason and have roms for many devices.
If you want a rom that does NOT include any of googles apps (instead of Google Phone/Calculator/ETC you'll get base android ones) then go Lineage. It's a solid rom that packs just as much customization as the others but is unique in its own way.
If you want (imo) the best rom and can wait for updates patiently then go Pixel Dust rom. It's more akin to Liquid Remix than Lineage, doesn't update as often (monthly instead of a few times a month) but has a few features the other roms don't (custom launcher, a few unique setting options).
I myself haven't had much luck with bootleggers or benzo rom, so the above 3 are my goto's.

You're not alone! I'm sticking with Oreo. I have yet to see value in Pie - worse Recents menu, forced awkward gestures,...no thanks. I'm hoping they wise up and release a killer 10.0 Android.

There is nothing good to see in Pie, end of story. Its just one of those eye catchy release to attract the kids and level with iOS UI design that's it.

Stock rom, flash king kernel and magisk with LKT set to balance, im hitting 6h sot instead of stock 3.5h
Still rocking Dirtyunicorn 12.3 aka 8.1 until DU pie comes out!Sean
I don't necessarily have the time to be flashing between various custom ROMs and seeing what works and all that nowadays, so I usually just stick to LineageOS and the kernel they include with that. There's an unofficial LOS 16 (Pie) ROM provided by a maintainer of LOS for this device that works relatively well in my experience.
Liquid is best for me. Lots of options no slow downs it reboots. It just works.

Is this 9.0 Stock rom? How long have you had the device? Would it possible to share some screenshots for above numbers. I've been thinking of downgrading to Oreo for battery but if this battery can be achieved with 9.0, I'll probably stick to it.

Best ROM doesn't exist...
Check threads, ROM features and pick the one you like the most... ?

Does you device lag with LKT and King Kernel?
I was able to run it smooth only with Franco Kernel, but King kernel even on "performance" profile still lags horribly.
Im currently on ElementalX with feb security update, lkt not needed to hit 5+ sot
And yes phone was a bit laggy but since the pixel for me is so fast, i didn't really mind much
Hey guys, I have not been in the romming business (is that a phrase?) For a long time, maybe since I've had the Galaxy S2. I've been looking around for quite some time on these forums and I couldn't really decide on anything, everything seems really good. Which one would you pick between the popular ones? Lineage, resurrection, Nitrogen and so on?
Lineage 15.1 is running smooth. Resurrection Remix is the most customization Rom but Lineage OS and RR version 9.0 is very running well with oneplus 3T. Nitrogen might running smooth but i don't like icon shape is square.

It really depends on what you need. There are many who are happy with the OOS. Some are never satisfied.
Decide on what you basically need in a ROM and then read the OPs of all the ROMs and also the last few pages of their threads to find out how they perform against your requirements. Shortlist a few, then install them one by one and run them for a few days to check for yourself. No one's opinion can be a substitute for your own.

So I listened to your advice and installed resurrection remix a few days ago. I like the features but honestly my phone became even slower than before and it's quite unbearable. What would you say is the best ROM performance wise? I'm ready to try another one and I realized performance is the most important thing for me.

You can try SkyDragon and Nitrogen OS. I am not saying that they are the best performancewise but overall they seem to be better.

Do you think they're better than OOS performance wise? What about Lineage? damn its so hard picking one lol
My suggestion would be dirty unicorns but Android P is their final build so only do it if you want to flash and forget.
Which ROM is y'all mofos gonna recommend?
paranoid quartz is the best for me

Yea I'm gonna give that a try since pixel experience Vids are freezing all the time
Currently using ParanoidAndroid. Works fine on my end. Hope they can give us another update
Only MIUI 11 is stable currently without bugs
Ion os is perfect rn i didn't have any bugs yet
Battery back is good with inception kernel
Paranoid q3 is amazing and clean
Best for me
I'd go against the current and advice crDroid. I used Pixel Experience, Paranoid Android, and LineageOS so far. crDroid seems to be the best with customization and little features (like compass QS tile. I really liked it actually. A little touch, but a worthy one). With battery life, they're head to head with PA, yet I'd say cr seemed a bit ahead. Functionality-wise, they're all more or less the same. Lineage had a problem with using headphones with WhatsApp and such, don't know if it is solved or not.
I didn't try Syberia or any others that I didn't mention above, yet because of its features and because of all, I have seen the devs of crDroid more active than others, I stick to it now and for the time to come - and can recommend to you as well.
Paranoid Android. Waiting for the Offline charging tobe fixed
Masik X 15.0 for ginkgo is the best rom I have flashed so far.
Hi guys, these past days been using havoc os 4.4 but i'm having problems with BT (audio mainly) and camera crashing if it tries to save to sd card.
There are a bunch of ROMS beeing updated to android 11 for our whyred so i wanted to know what are your thoughts about them...
Is there a top, middle and bottom one or do they share the same bugs?
I'm not new to the custom rom stuff but i've been out for a LONG ass time...
Would love to have your thoughts... Tks.

I know that LineageOS is probably my best bet to a stable rom but i was thinking i would give the AOSP guys a chance first...
As i said i'm now with Havoc 4.4, and it's giving me problems.
I'm between Crdroid, Arrow OS and Potato ASOP, what's my best bet in these 3?
I don't game on the phone so a snappy OS and good battery life is a must...

in that case you can try crDroid. I've been using it as my daily driver for around 3 months now. it's smooth and snappy af and also has great battery life

Running 7.5? With what gapps? Flame, nik or the full gapps they provide?
The less useless apps from google i have on the phone the better...
Nikgapps basic is the one i would recommend
I've been pretty out of it for the past basically half a decade so I'm a bit out of the loop as far as the newer roms. But from what I can tell for what I want Lineage seems to be the best custom rom. A nice clean AOSP experience with improvements. To tell the truth I would probably just stick with Oxygen OS if it weren't such a ***** to perform updates while rooted. That said, crDroid is Lineage + some more improvements. So, what do you guys think? Does crDroid add enough value to justify it over just getting Lineage? What are some of your favorite crDroid features that Lineage lacks? (for those that prefer it) And what are some of the things crDroid does/has that Lineage doesn't that you *don't* like? (For those that prefer Lineage)
Thanks for the opinions, will really help me make my choice.
What do you mean pain in the ass to update while rooted?
Nothing is changed. You only restore boot image, update, install root to inactive slot, reboot.

Thanks for answer the question and sticking to the topic
What i've learned since years of root/unlocking bootloader/flashing roms is that you should also considering a rom depending on who's maintening it. A good maintener will provide a more stable rom and frequent updates.

LineageOS as a firmware is tried and true and very stable, but doesnt innovate a lot, it's meant to be a solid clean base. crDroid has been pushing a lot of new features but might be less stable. The maintainers there seem to be actively trying to do a lot.

I mean crDroid has some a lot of features but it's nothing compared to features of RR, which is pretty stable. What I'm saying is that RR is still pretty stable with all those features, so you shouldn't worry about stability with crDroid.

Custom kernel may be better than stock kernel. Built-in Gapps are often more stable than any other flashable Gapps.
I'd recommend to try crDroid by yourself and if it doesn't fit your usage, then switch to lineage. Never try, never know.

And I thought RR was long dead.
Crdroid is 100 percent stable right now and running flawlessly on my TMobile variant. I haven't seen battery life this good since my 6t either! This is with the kernel that comes with crdroid, didn't tweak any settings in kernel app.
For the record I was nowhere near this good of battery on oos I was maybe getting 3 to 3 and a half hours of sot for 50 percent battery. Crdroid kicks the crap out of that.

do note that we have gapps just because for now without proper TWRP you can't easy install them
crDroid is normally without Gapps and we plan to remove them as soon as TWRP is ready

Bro I think you've been found victim to the power of branding. Under no shape or form was Resurrection Remix ever better than CrDroid. A cooler boot splash logo, but that's about it.
And why is this a gentleman even comparing this to lineage? CrDroid IS lineage, with way way more features, slightly better performance.
Dumb thread.

I would apologize but it's kind of not my fault that you're illiterate. You should try learning how to read before you bother posting such idiotic responses. I literally said in my OP that crDroid is Lineage + extra features. The purpose of this topic is for me to decide whether or not I CARE about those features enough to pick crDroid over Lineage in the first place.
Truly hope you learn how to read before you post stupid comments in the future mate. Good luck.
To everyone else, thanks for your replies. Very helpful. Would still like to get some examples of things fans of crDroid like that's in crDroid but not in Lineage if possible.

I understand you're upset that you created a dumb thread. Everyone knows most ROMs are usually a lineage base. Lineage is very stripped down. Almost any custom ROM is probably technically better than lineage because it has more useful features.
And no that's not what you said originally in your first post. You probably went back and edited it.
How about we don't look too far/read into posts and be friends?
