having freezing and data loss problems with saber rom and that rom isn't being worked on anymore, so i thought i might as well make the jump to 6.0
which rom is the most stable? (all hardware components working etc)
which rom will be most active? (aka best support-wise, I dont want to start using a rom then for the dev to suddenly pull the plug)
seems like official CM would be the best choice? but from what i've been reading, it's not the most stable.
wondering on other's thoughts who are using whatever 6.0 rom, and why
Official CM is rock stable for me, no problems.

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

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.
Hy guys, i recently unlocked my Bootloader and tried new Lineage Os 14.1. Its awesome but there are few bugs i cant live with, so im searching for best stable rom for unlocked bootloader untill they make stable 14.1.
Can someone recommend any good rom? Also shoud I restore drm functions after flashing or not? Thank you for your time
@nailyk 's LineageOS is the most stable 14.1 rom that I have seen in our xperia z3 forum. If you want 14.1 rom use develop. prev. or use lineage os.

You know that Dev Preview Rom's aren't even Android 7.0 (proper one)?
They are actually Android N and most of modifications for 7.0/7.1 won't work on those.
So keep that in mind.
@mancycro I'm curious though, what type of bugs you encountered, which kept you from using LOS 14.1?
Well rom will be amazing after getting stable release. Worst thing is slow charging, 4 percent per 20.. Wifi doesnt autoconnect to network, and latest bug i experienced : phone reboots during night, probably due to overcharging. Otherwise its great. 60k on antutu

Ok, then we have a different idea of bugs, we can't live with
Besides the autoconnect bug, the overcharging is handled by an app for me (we'll see if reboots are gone),
and the slow charging gets better with time for me.
Hope they fix those bugs so you can enjoy it as well
Hi! Does that OS you guys discussing about has working camera?

Yes and it's quite similar to stock actually. Best camera quality I've seen so far for custom ROMs on the Z3
Omnirom has official weekly for z3 d6603! Android 7.1.2! I have not infomations for this last build!
Anyone??

Hey, I've just found this device (the LTE variant) under ton of dust in the wardrobe and would like to revive it as my back-up phone. What custom ROM would you recommend for this unit? Does installing nougat make sense, or is 1 GB or ram too little? What would be, in your opinion, the most stable rom that is not touchwiz based? Thank you in advance for all the replies, I've never owned this phone, so I have no idea
In my case, I have nougat (with lineageos 14.1) and it works just perfect for me. I reccomend you to try, if you finally don't like the ROM you can always change, for example, to an Android 5.1 based ROM.
Hi.
I just picked up this phone as a backup after reading that ROM development is quite active.
I am wondering what is a good stable ROM to flash?
Thanks.
Hey, just wondering if you ened up finding something stable? I have the 8GB storage 1GB Ram version of the moto g3, and i'm looking for a stable rom, to use it as a game phone / music / camera for my kids. I tried crDroidAndroid-10.0-20201217-osprey-v6.13 but it's super slow.
Any suggestions would be great
Use the lineage official 17.1 version, its works without any problem. Maybe there's a major consume a battery then the stock image, but the stock is android 6, this is 10.
