The first touch screen issue fix was rolled out with Nightly 20150715-NIGHTLY version, which solved the issue, but had battery drain and heating issues. Then they removed the synaptic fix in 20150718-NIGHTLY update. Later they cam up with fix again with 20150721-NIGHTLY update, where the battery drain was less.
Then the fix was released with AK V-246 (http://http://ak.hiddenbytes.org/) and FrancoR43 Kernels, also Boeffla Kernel (3.0beta3) (For Oxygen OS users ONLY).
After that, god's grace, we got Official Oxygen synaptic fix, where there was less battery drain and heating issue. And then we got finally YNG1TAS2I3, where seems like everything is fixed.
So, now if I flash any other ROMs than these two stocks, how I can fix my touch issues. ROMs flashing over NIGHTLY will have the fix came along with 20150721-NIGHTLY, but what if I want to flash other ROMs like MIUI or COLOR OS or any other which can not be flashed over NIGHTLY? Are there any Kernels which got best fix over this issues, which got the similar Touch fix as in stock CM12 latest update?
All of the cusom CM12 & CM12.1 kernels have this fix. Unfortunately not sure about MIUI and KK Roms in general.

I have a WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0"). I bought this for the SOLE purpose of swapping it into my vehicle as the main media source - radio, video, navigation. I need to root it for a few pieces of software to make this an easy swap (mostly need it to behave like a newer LG phone where you double tap to wake up) so I need a custom kernel and/or ROM to enable this feature via software I guess... So, if I wanted a custom ROM, what is the most STABLE ROM to date. I have used probably 15 different ROM's between my S3, Note2 and older phones and with just about every one of them, there was some random problem with glitches or restarts... Just want this to be as seamless as possible.
I have found Slimkat to be very stable on my 5113. I wanted a tablet that had a very light ROM and Slimkat delivered.

Slimkat had some sound issues on my 5113, Omnirom works great for me!
I think the best way is to install one, make a backup in TWRP and then you can wipe and try other roms.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 for the last year and it's lite and super stable, no glitches nothing wierd. Everything works. W/great battery life. Check out

I am going through the process of assessing the last official release for the Tab 2 7" and 10.1" (4.2.2) and comparing them to the last official stable release from CM and the CM11 nightlies.
I can tell you that so far, as much as I hate the TW interface, the last official stock ROM is stellar for battery life. I seem to remember (But been too long to trust the memories) that the last official stable CM10 was really really good on battery and overall performance/stability.
I am commenting on the progress in the p5110 experimental forum at CM if you want to follow. my user name there is Frontlinegeek.
The CM11 nightlies are stable. I have been running them since December and never had any issues.

Oh they are plenty stable but there is a known KitKat battery drain issue in it that has not been fixed. You need to install a custom Kernel to get around the issue till they finally fix it in the official ROM downloads from CM.
I used Dhollmen's Kernel to get past the issue.
I had stupidly not done any research on XDA over the issue and have since moved back to CM11 nightlies and the mentioned Kernel and the battery life is stellar. Again.

Interesting, because in the two years I have owned my tab 2 and the 6 months I've owned my LG g2, I have never had to flash a custom kernel. I guess I just get lucky. [emoji41]
Ya, I never had an issue on CM10 or with CM11 in the early days but it cropped up in the spring and I was far too tolerant of the issue all this time. Only learned that it can be an issue this week.
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

Hello fine gentlemen, it's been a good ride. As a complete noob i remember i started this whole rooting thing around 5 months ago when i was absolutely desperate because of the touch issues by this phone, that's when the new kernel arrived with the infamous 20150515 cm12.1 nightly and i finally was able to enjoy my OPO on it's full glory again. But now after these months of flashing nightly after nightly i'm just tired, tired of random bugs, reboots, tints, etc., which obviously don't diminish the amazing rom that this is and are things that i acknowledge come naturally with nightly releases (to point out i'm not complaining at all). I just want to flash something stable so i don't have to worry about these minor things even if i miss new fresh features, so this lead to these couple of questions that i would appreciate any of you can help me with:
1. what is the best latest stable rom for OPO right now ? be it CM, COS, Oxygen, etc whatever i don't care, i only care that it is stable and come with the touch fix kernel
2. or should i wait for a marshmallow stable rom ? (i've read marshmallow is way more polished than lollipop, smoother and consumes less battery)
3. what (extra) steps should i take to flash the suggested rom ? is it as simple as i have been doing with the nightlies (just download zip, reboot in recovery, flash zip, clear cache and reboot again) ?
thanks in advance for the help people !!
Sultan's CM12.1.
I'm using EXODUS , very stable and a lot of different features.
Exodus here too. Sultians is very nice too.
Using Sultan's cm 12.1. Runs smoothly and almost bug free in my opo
Sultan's CM12.1 or ResurrectionRemix
Stock SlimSaber or Slimsaber caf. Check out the slimsaber threads for flashing details.
This is regarding my nexus 5, I have been facing some serious heating issues with it,I am running android 5.0 rooted and elementalx kernel.
Would be helpful if someone could help fixing this.
Same thing happens on stock rom and kernel? Possible defective battery? When did the issue start?
Since I've switched back to stock ROM along with elemntalx kernel the device heats up over WiFi and 3G.Do you think it could be due to the stock ROM or the combination of stock ROM and the elemental kernel?
I would think it is the kernel that is the issue. I use stock mm on mine and no problems with heat.
Hi guys, I've been researching for a fully stable custom rom, but I could'nt find one. Does someone knows if there is one out there that I missed.? Preferelly AOSP or CM based.
- I've tried mokee rom and even that it is marked as stable on their website its buggy (Bluetooth not working).
Update...
This is my list of all the rom's that I personally tested and are stable by the moment:
[*][ROM][UBER][5.1.1][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1[STABLE] - Low mic isssue
[URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-t3218133"
[ROM][Ferrari][CarbonROM][5.1.1][2015-10-04][/URL]
Thank you for your comments, all are apreciated.
For now Iam using lineage 14.1 build and its working fine for my daily use, the not working part is only flashlight and fm radio, check the thread for the workaround. Before using lineage build Iam using cm 14.1 its working fine too.
i use Pixel ROm, it base on Cm 14.1 so far it good and stable for daily use. the bug is FM radio, MTP and flashlight, but you can fix flashligt problem by your self here and for the MTP problem you can fix here
Don't you ever trust mokee
They don't even have a maintainer , it's mean they don't have this phone to test a "thing"
Try AICP Nougat Nightlies. They are working very stable for me with optimized battery and everything fixed. Only for flashlight you will hae to do a soft reboot. This is the most stable custom ROM I've use till now. I think once they release a STABLE build, I would permanently flash that and never switch to another ROM.
Thank you all for your inputs, my idea is to create a list of each ROM and it's bug´s (if exists).
Right now Im using Carbon Rom and it seems to be stable, I had a problem with the initiall setup but I think it was my fault (I forgot to wipe data). I'll let you know if something else happens. :good:
I am using XOSP ROM (6.0.1), only problem I am having right now is the Flashlight, others (bluetooth, hotspot, dual sim, wifi e.t.c.) working quite well. I have tried other ROMs but there was battery quick draining issues, however there is no such issue in this ROM. You can try this ROM once.
I use crDroid maintained by Anand.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-crdroid-7-1-t3523948
One of the best ROM for Mi 4i after MIUI. Using for the past one month.
