Currently, am on the CM10.1 unofficial nightlies and not too happy with the screen tearing, the battery drain and some other issues with the mic and sound they are having. Not to mention the DMCA bullsh!t that is currently going on. Was a fantastic rom while xkonni was involved in the development but after the take down sh!t it seems to be getting worse and worse.
I am in search of a new lightweight ROM that is as close to vanilla android as possible.
I have seen ChaOS, Liquid and a couple others and they all look good. But how is there battery, and support from the devs?
My main requirements:
No video/volume issues (ie. tearing)
Long battery life
Simple and clean
**No Sense UI**
Official nightlies
Other than that, I don't care about the special camera apps, just need it to take pics and record video, i don't use WiFi calling that often if at all and the rest is just stuff I hardly use.

Try Codename Lungo. A very lightweighted rom.
My current favorite non sense rom is Chameleon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222873
Worth a look. Nightlies almost every night ( if that makes sense)

Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2
There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.
Hello guys
I am posting my experience for Extreme Sensation Power2 ROM. it may help others before flashing, and I would really like it's developer to read it and modify the negative things.
First it's an awesome ROM, very stable, and light on the device, doesn't eat much of the RAM.
99% of everything works perfect without crashing or anything.
Nice look and great customization.
Apex Launcher is great and well integrated to the system.
The -ve stuff I saw was:
The Calendar, crashes when I add accounts.
The battery is eaten up so fast!!! incredibly fast actually.
Touch scrolling all around is not smooth/elastic enough, my Stock ROM was better in scrolling.
I cannot flash Beats Audio, the DSP crashes if I did.
I cannot notice that my device got actually more powerful.
Overall rating: 8/10.
My experiance with that ROM is that its a KANG of CM - read the last 4-5 pages of the thread.
Ok so i have two questions pertaining to PACrom.
For thew first one, is it just me or is the battery life on this rom not that great, i have had mine go from 100% to 76% in less than an hour and my screen on time was less than 15 mins, is there a way to correct this since even greenify or underclocking it doesnt even make a dent in it.
For question two, it might be a little noobish, but i came from sense and personally loved sense but for some reason every sense rom i flashed acted a little laggy and i love the smoothness of CM but i HATE the AOSP camera with a passion, is there any alternative camera apps that are almost or just as good as the sense camera and the panorama camera sense had?
Thank you in advance for helping me.
Is Google Services using a high amount of battery? That was my problem with the battery life in the rom. If so, delete the data for all the Google apps via settings>apps>all.
As for the camera, you can try Camera MX which has live effects like Sense but it runs slow on my phone. You should try out this awesome Sense rom
I tend to hang on to my every phone for long, and when it's time to upgrade, I just like to slap updated ROM onto it and keep it a bit more. Problem is, It's been years since I stopped playing around with now ancient HTC Desire, so I'm all new to this ROM development jargon... again. And it wasn't like I grasped it fully before.
Anyway, CM is dead, and that was always my choice for Custom ROMs. Stock looking, feeling and performing, with just a few little touches to make ti more usable. Like the profiles that become active on different triggers.
So, now I wonder...
What is the best 7.1.1. ROM for Nexus 5, and by that I mean: good battery, performance, and stock look?
Does recovery play a huge role in it?
What about the kernel?
Anything else that I'm missing?
Youre talking about stock? Fake nexus rom.
I guess the only real stock is AOSP. Right?
Other than that, there are ones that look like stock, and those that are heavily skinned with Comic Sans fonts, weird color schemes and whatnot.
I loved CM for looking like stock, and having a few extra options that don't radically change the way it works.
I'll check FakeNexus ROM. Thanks!
Yes, AOSP is stock.
I personally use the AOSP Nougat ROM by Santhosh with blu_spark kernel and it's giving great performance and battery life.
This ROM is AOSP with some little features added like doube tap to sleep, volume rocker wake and night light
Even the green flickering issue by recorded videos is solved in the latest build in this ROM.

Is it stable enough for a daily use? What about camera and video performance?
Thanks for sharing

Yes, it is stable enough for daily use: celluar data, wifi, bluetooth, location, hotspot, great performance and battery life, ...
Everything works well on this ROM.
Google Camera v3.2 takes good pictures & HDR works too on v3.2. I can record videos in 1080p without stuttering and green flickering. Pictures and videos looks sharp and clear.
For me, it's like an official update from Google

Any changelog with those roms ? Is there any difference between those and RR/LOS ?
I will try the latest Mokee in a few hours and get back to you. Hopefully it's derived from the latest LOS source so it has good battery and stability, but we'll see.

Looking forward to your review!
Hands on Mokee 7.1.2 31/8
We are getting closer to a bug free experience! The main issue I have with Mokee is that there is no display calibration built in. It's kind of standard these days and in all other Nougat roms. Still, I just had to download FK Manager and root the device to be able to calibrate the display. Other than that I also feel there are a few bloat apps, for instance Substratum and Xposed. I have nothing against the apps per say, but I don't use them. Thankfully they can be inactivated even without root. The only other issue I've found is that the compass is totally whack still, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
I've only tested the rom for about half a day, but battery seems to be very good. Up to par with at least LOS 28/8 and not far from MIUI standards. The phone hasn't even gotten hot under the time I've tested the rom.
About performance, I got 60199 points in Antutu which seems very good for a beta rom. Other than surfing the web and recording videos I really don't do that many demanding tasks, but the whole experience is fluid as far as I can tell.
The stock camera seems to finally be fixed... again. In RR 10/8 camera worked fine, but then in LOS 28/8 videos were very dark and had a lot of artifacts. In Mokee 31/8 I really can't complain about image or video quality, it's great actually. A bit better than MIUI in my opinion
The stock camera still has the same issues, dark video recording at least. I will use Bacon Camera until it's fixed.
I can't comment on the issues people have with finger prints and if the issue has been fixed or not. I can only say that it's working perfectly fine for me.
I will stay on Mokee 31/8 for the time being. It's very close to a stock Android experience when all the bloat is inactivated. I would love some more features and settings to play around with, but I prefer a fully working rom over all the bells and whistles. It's without a doubt a daily driver, unless you really need a working compass!
Update 2017-09-02
After more than a full days of use I got pretty tired of Mokee. Still not a bad rom per say, but there seems to be some issues with deep sleep. Left it with over 70% battery during the night, when I woke up around six hours later it was down to around 50%. I'm not sure why and to be honest I really don't have the time to work it out. Instead I'm back on LOS 28/8 for the time being. I will keep an eye on Mokee and every other Nougat rom coming out since we're so close to having a fully working and bug free rom!
Anyone tested flyme os yet?
