I use CM10.2 and it goes perfectly. If you have many apps of course it is going to consume some battery.

Can I have a comparison between the roms ?

I am running PAC 4.2.2 and it is fast, stable with good battery life.

comparison between major roms

-- cyanogenmod is very simple and very less addons but very very fast,smoth and debloated.
-- pac roms are also fast and based on CM but pack of features like pie,ui changer,halo and many more over all ui is same as CM.
-- sungsonic hd is based on latest stock 4.2.2 and also full of features like multiwindow and more, the soud is like boooooom never heart sound like that on any other rom.. little bit slow than CM due to samsung touchwiz ui but sshd worth it.
you check other roms and there features in tab 2 android development section.
now its on you what you want from your tab.....

If you have a P31xx(7" version), i would definitely recommend Pure Bean HD V2. It's fast, stable and consumes similar battery as Cyanogenmod.
Stock roms are good if you want a bit more functionality and a better looking (but slow) interface.
For a P51xx(10" version) Cyanogenmod would be my recommendation. Despite having a higher resolution, the 10" tab uses the same gpu as the 7" tab and has trouble pushing more pixels. Therefore, you would want to squeeze out as much speed as possible.

Ok
Thanks for all who tried to help me
I finally decided to use PAC-Rom

MoKee Open Source 4.4. It has tons of features including multi window for apps and runs on KitKat.

[Q] Vanilla Galaxy S6

Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place, but i just have to ask something. When Android M will be out, because it has fingerprint support too, will some developers be able to built a stable stock android rom for the GS6? Or is it just a dream?
Thanks!

Because Android M has native support for fingerprint you expect somebody to build stock android rom for the S6? The two things don't correlate AT ALL. And yes, there will be some AOSP roms for sure, based on Android M.

They do correlate at least 1% But yeah, i formulated a bit wrong. We'll wait and we'll see.

[DISCUSSION] Stock Motorola ROM 5.1 VS 5.1.1 bases ROM's

Hey guys, you who used stock 5.1 and custom ROMS that are having the latest Android version (5.1.1): what differences do you notice?
As we all know 5.1.1 is the latest version which fixes the memory leak, and Moto is still a version behind on 5.1.1: stock only is Android 5.1.
How would you compare stock to the latest Android version with the latest bugfixes and memory leak fix?
Would it be possible that Moto backported 5.1.1 fixes to stock 5.1?
Can a moderator edit "bases ROM's" to "5.1.1-based custom ROMS? I made a typo

It is more a question of CM12.1 vs Stock ROM.
With the Stock Motorola Lollipop you have (at least in theory) a bug free ROM, it will work in every situation and scenarios.
Where with a custom ROM you will have more experimental features, a more tunable kernel and settings (that can either improve or break a ROM) and, to be honest, more support as they update almost every week where Motorola go very slow.

Yeah that's true. I was just wondering if the 5.1 version still has the memory leak which was resolved in 5.1.1. Also, CM12 based roms don't support notification tickers anymore, not even through Xposed so that's a bit pity too. But they do have features you can't find in stock or Xposed.
Just wondering which ROM gives the best performance, CM12 or optimized stock or just plain AOSP without any tweaks.

I can't say if Motorola fix the Memory issue or not. I can say too that some CM12.1 ROMs did have memory issues even at 5.1.1 but i think all are gone now.
About performance, a custom ROM for sure will bring you that. I'm not a big fan of motorola "optimizations" for our devices, in fact i would say they don't do at all.

It all depends really, you could get stock 5.1 with moggy kernel v12 which is very smooth being a linaro based kernel with other optimizations as well. (I was running that earlier today)
But you could also get a custom ROM such as blisspop. Which is very very poorly developed on our device.
A ROM that the developer uses as a daily driver is likely to be better than stock. However you'll find ROMs such as BlissPop where the developer does not run the ROM on our device and merely syncs with latest sources and uploads the builds without testing them first.
Those ROMs are likely to provide worse performance and definitely less stability than stock. Unless of course you flash a custom kernel over it, but then you've just got a sugar coated turd. And nobody wants a turd.

YEs that is true, also there are some ROMs that are much more experimental then stable.
So a research would be need.
That being said, stock is always the safest bet but a nice custom ROM will be superior if he find one.
I'm personally very happy with Euphoria and the R35 version of the Optimus Kernel.
But you (@Sparubens ) would need to flash all the roms to find the one who fit you better, stock and non stock

It's worth considering the difference in Battery-life of Stock Firmware / ROMs in comparison to non-Stock custom ROMs. That could be an interesting thread.

I did flash almost every ROM here but there always seems to be an issue:
-CM12.1 is stable and fast, but doesn't have 4 tiles per row option in QS Settings and doesn't support notification ticker anymore (Xposed), SaberMod is smooth (Beeto) but there's a bug where you can't access SuperSU without dialing a code
- SlimROM wasn't a good experience when trying it to use as daily driver, sluggish and bad multitasking
- CM12.1 based ROMS like CrDroid and Euphoria I do really like, have some bugs like screen pinning causing reboot (CrDroid) and also no real Xposed support for CrDroid and Euphoria doesn't register all touches on the keyboard and makes my phone a bit hot, otherwise I would be very happy to have it as a daily driver, AICP was running okayish but there's been a bug for over a month that when opening the data quick menu, the percentage is misaligned, and it still hasn't been fixed.
- Stock 5.1 is nice, but it's a version behind 5.1.1 so that's not very nice either. Also heavily lacking in options, but I can use Xposed. Also there are 2 carrier labels on the lockscreen which makes no sense at all..
Also, in custom ROMS the torch doesn't seem to be functioning fully, the light density is not at it fullest. Sadly there seem to be some quirks with every ROM.
I'm ready to make compromises and have a ROM as daily driver which doesn't support notification ticker (basically all of them atm) but then there's also the torch issue sadly which pushes me more back to stock. But then again, nobody knows if stock still has the memory leak and opinions have been very different from person to person about stock 5.1.
Some interesting opinions over here, keep 'em coming!
@lost101 I personally think that there's no custom ROM that can match the battery life of stock, it has been impressive, surely on Lollipop.

That's why we have a lot of roms outthere, everyone can choose what match better with everyone, if you want something without issues choose stock, but don't have the optimizations options, if you prefer the options, choose the one you consider is better, but always have to sacrifice something

Rom Suggestion [ Oxygen OS 5.0.1]

As there are going to be a ton of roms for Mi A1 , i just want to raise a suggestion that if possible porting the latest oxygen os 5.0.1 would be huge benefit coz its based on stock and also has lot more futures without much of a bloatware ..................................
If possible or any dev going to work on it --- Feel free to announce it and make us filled with the rom soon

Oxygen OS is a closed source system from OnePlus, you can't port it just like you can't port the samsung customizations... but there are plenty of ROMs that offer the same features as oxygen like dark theme, DT2W, etc

Why are people making endless amount of useless threads?
And by the way, this section is for ROMs and kernel related topics and not for such polls!

Thread moved to correct forum.

whatever rom you all would port, please leave miui camera as it is

Whether the ROM is ported or not, i think the most important feature is instant face unlock.. Someone please port this feature...

Don't make demands. ROM development happens when devs have free time and do it as a hobby. Nobody is paying them.
Also OxygenOS isn't possible as it is closed source.

Oxygen without bloatware compared to A1 stock rom ? Is this a joke ?
Oxygen is heavily modified, and for example you can't use any substratum theme, only the ones that are made for oxygen, you can't use any google camera, only one modified for oxygen, you cant use any xposed module, etc. So I don't see point of ported oxygen rom, that's like jumping from horse to donkey, but ok, good luck if anyone tries to port it.

H2OS ported roms are available i guess for couple of phones , one being Xiaomi Mi 5 and AFAIK H2OS is nothing but O2OS minus google play services

Question Custom ROMs

Hey all the custom ROMers here. I hope you all are doing great. What ROM you are currently running on your P7/P7P and why? I'm pretty new to android root scene and looking forward to install custom ROM on my P7. Any answers would be appreciated!!

Custom ROM and ROOT is difference
With custom rom, u will get more features which lack from stock, more battery life
With root u will have more control of system ...

U can try yourself, it just depends on what u need, what u like

I'm on stock. In my opinion don't make sense to flash custom ROM on Pixel. That device is really optimized on stock. You never know when Dev stop development ROM. Yes... They always are sure never will be stopped. Many times I heard that and they stopped. I need really stable software to use daily. I used lot of ROMs. Even now official crDroid was stopped for 7pro. So I don't think so is good choice to flash custom if stock is enough optimized. Off course this is just my opinion.

But battery life of stock p7 is so bad, i can't stay 1 day without charging the phone.
SOT is only about 4,5 hours. With evolution x, i have about 6-6,5h
Maybe it's the best thing that i want

How can u get it with stock ?

you will not get any extras from custom roms if you switched from official system , users who have xiaomi devices with cutting edge specs but poor software like miui might do so , but you have all the things you want in stock android , you might flash custom karnel for more perfomance and longer battery life ,but stock equals stability and reliability especially for pixels

Don't get me wrong, stock lack a lot of things that make your phone better function

you have magisk and its modules , you have custom kernels that improve battery life and perfomance , what do you want more than that , this can cover the extras you talk about , custom roms that are heavily modified than the rubbish miui skin is a headache , custom roms devs dont care much about tracking and fixing bugs , when you install custom roms you know that there is a deal , you get those useless extras , in exchange for stability and reliability
note , my words applied just for the pixel stock roms , not for third party rubbish like miui and oneui and their brothers

I'll get from a custom ROM whatever I add to said custom ROM, which, agreeably isn't much over stock, lol
I like the minimalist approach, pitch black, system fonts/icons, and battery styles are the only thing missing from stock, as far as I'm concerned.

I wondered the same thing.
Pixel devices are known for its Stock Pure Android experience.
I see know reason to install a custom rom on a pixel phone as the trade off isn't worth it.
A custom kernel ill probably flash one day but i really want to keep my Pixel Un-Rooted..
