The MZP is still an awesome device in terms of speed, storage and battery performance. So I would like to use this thread to find the currently best available ROMs for the Moto Z Play. As many ROMs are abandoned, overly outdated or non-functional - I would suggest you write which ROMs you have a recent experience with and which can be used as a daily driver.
Please start with this information:
ROM Name:
Android Version:
Latest ROM Update:
Security Update:
Features not working:
Pros:
Cons:
I can start with the ROMs I had installed recently:
ROM Name: /e/ foundation addison ROM based on LOS 14.1
Android Version: 7.1.2
Latest ROM Update: 2020-03-17
Security Update: February 2020
Features not working: Google Play Services
Pros: Speedy and Recent ROM, sadly only Android 7. Good integration of e-Foundation cloud services and app-restrictions in terms of internet connectivity possible.
Cons: No installation of Google Play Services possible. Bluetooth audio may loose connection and require a reboot to work again.
Link: https://images.ecloud.global/dev/addison/
ROM Name: Unofficial LineageOS 16 ROM by fablebreton
Android Version: 9.0
Latest ROM Update: 20219-05-10
Security Update: April 2019
Features not working: Night Light Mode (blue light filter)
Pros: a stable ROM with resonable performance and battery life.
Cons: No systemwide dark mode. Outdated security patch level.

I have tried a lot of custom roms last week and last weekend, I found AOSP 8.1 by @Alberto97 to be the most stable and fluid one for me as of now.

So I used AMP 9.0 and liked it very much, but @ alberto97 has not updated more. Then I met this rom Lineagues 15.1 from @BtbN and I really like it, it updates every 3 months the security patch, I hope he continues making this fantastic ROM flow into our device that still has a good hardware.
For you to use this ROM, as you said it is in XPE13, your recovery is arm64, you need to install the recovery twrp arm32 from the official website twrp.me recently available there and to have no problem in the new ROM, do Wipe Data / Factory Reset , Wipe Dalvik cache, install the ROM and pico arm 8.1 gaps package and have everything working perfectly.

Hello sir,
I have a few question. What is tripple buffering? It is make GPU perform better? I tried googling for it but can't understand a thing. All i found is about PC etc. Can you give easy explanation?
And does it really support for F2FS? Anybody found bug? Lastly since the base of RR is cm,omni,slim etc. Did it have the feature of theme chooser or it use layer?
I'm very appreciate any answer cuz im only flash a ROM which stable enough to be my daily driver.
Btw a lot of thank for developers for making a new rom very frequently. I feel so alive with s3 mini ?
*sorry for my English, im Malaysian

For a review.
Thank you for keeping the Mi Pad alive ?
IMO, this is the best MiPad ROM! Thank you so much, Sir!
Smoothest ROM for MiPad
Flashed smoke kernel on top of it. I know it can mess things up.
Will keep updating if that helps or not.
Thanks for developing for Mipad.. Hopefully we can have some other developers who can chip in to help to write wrappers for the camera... (I know not priority)
Thanks a lot!
So, we booted cm12.1 and ported shields kernel. Is it possible to move further? Cm 13 for example? Or cm12.1 based customs.

cm13 would be better but, at this time we should focus on stablizing cm 12.1

Absolutely agree with you. Once cm12 is stabilized we can hope for a marshmallow or even a nougat ROM.
Regarding the graphics, will we get vulkan support?

On nougat, yes we may.
Edit: no nougat for k1 but marshmallow has vulkan so we can get blobs from it once we get marshmallow.

I didn't knew about custom roms. The point was, we can get vulkan if we get marshmallow and as you told, on nougat too.

I think it will be hard work.
We've never got blob sources from xiaomi it can be impossible.
But still, just having marshmallow or nougot would be awsome...
Antutu score can be up to 80000++
---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------
Can we have marshmallow which "at least" boots up?
I think it would be quite hard to boot it up with old blobs
Hi, I request the OP to add flash instructions along with which recovery to use. I know it's obvious but still.
I would personally wait for this LP ROM to get stabilized fully with all working features first. Once we have enough dev support and expertise then move to working on MM or Nougat.
I read somewhere here that if LP gets stabilized it's not very tough to get to MM?

If rom is completely source built, not very tough to bump the android version. If we use prebuilt blobs (like in this case) it may be difficult.
Bug : The in-built microphone does not seem to work.
Wow the performance is so promising. Thanks for the effort and keep it up!
11h idle, 1% battery drained. Wow I'm impressed.

Hi! Thanks for your work. I flashed your first build yesterday... And there was problem with SIM Card. Then, today morning I flashed the second build with another Kernel hoping it will be fixed. But still the same problem. But the system seems to be very smooth!
Gallery FC (a restart fixed it, for now).
SIM not recognized (fixed).
WiFi dropped on reboot (only once).
Pico TTS FC during system setup.
f2fs definitely not working.
MTP not always working (works fine at the moment).
Google voice assistant still affects video recording (surprised no one has actually FIXED this yet).
Hi there
I am looking for a stable ROM (Based on 7.1.2 or 8+) which has the latest/almost latest security patch. (Either December or January)
Few requirements are:
- Working GPS
- Working Bluetooth calls
- Smooth UI experience (I like stock android)
- Not too many bells and whistles (I like stock android)
- Stable
Can anyone suggest a ROM for me?
Thanks in advance!
