Hi!
Currently with Moto E 2015 model. Really happy with it with custom rom (really good battery life: 2-3 days with my normal use and phone is rock stable).
I thinking of getting Moto G 3rd mainly because the camera (I need good quality photos in my work and don't want to spend 300-500 euros for phone).
Are there really good quality roms for this phone? I tried to look but everyone seemed to have some issues. Mainly I need to have it stable, good battery life and camera should be working fast. I don't like official roms, I want to root the phone, have tasker with automation etc.
Really appreciate any help and replies!
I suggest holding off for now as the camera quality is worse than stock in all custom roms (the MM ones, at least) right now.
Battery life can be made better than stock by tweaking the kernel.
All major roms are stable though. The CM based roms have only one noticeable bug (it shows 'Invalid Number' when the call is disconnected from the other side)
For me the most stable ROM with the best battery life is AOSP-CAF, but it doesn't have nearly as much customization as other ROMs.
I don't think there is a "best" Marshmallow custom ROM yet, and I don't think there will be until CM13 for osprey is in the official nightly stages.

Hello,
I wanted some suggestions on which ROM I should select based on these criteria.
1. My priority is battery. I am usually out on meetings or deals and don't get to charge much. Which is the best ROM which can help me out here? I am not a very heavy user but definitely need my phone for quick chats, some apps and sometimes light games.
2. Stability. I hate having my phone frozen or crashed (restarted). Sometimes this costs me heavily.
3. A decent performance. I dont want my apps to take an eternity to start.
4. Customization: This is not a huge thing for me but its an added bonus to have it.
Thank you very much for help. I did try to search around for this but could not find anything.
Have a nice day
Cataclysm FTW
Hi there,
I've been using Cataclysm for the last 90 days and its been a pleasure so far
1. Battery Life is decent, depending on which custom kernel you prefer (--> ElementalX or Franco ) you're able to noticeably extend it (battery saving modes or even underclocking)
2. It's rock stable! Since the latest stable Update I've never experienced any crashes or bad lags
3. Performance is just great, absolut no lags. Of course it gets a little worse depending on how strong your CPU is throttled by your kernels engergy saving settings
4. Support for PRO Layers 2, I don't need to tell you more about that
My recommendation: Give Cataclysm a shot!

Hey!
During last month, I was able to try out some roms and I can give you some advices.
1. I had good battery life with Chroma, Purity and BoostPop ROM, mixed with Code_Blue kernel and HellScore kernel (both of them are very battery friendly).
2. Any Aosp ROM will give you the stability you need, no doubt. Again, Chroma rom was rock stable.
3. Code Blue kernel, blu_active governor and row scheduler: very fast and not so energy hungry.
4. All of the 3 roms I suggested before have some own features and supports RRO layers. You don't need anything more.
Hope I helped!
From my experience, the less features it has, less bugs will have. There are exceptions of course, but more features=more code and more code=more possibility to have bugs.
Cataclysm was one of the best ones for me. It had quite a bit of features and was really stable
my advice to you: Stock rom(cleancore from general section) with elementalx kernel gives the best experience. Smoothness at its finest, even with xposed installed. I find this combo much better than any custom rom
I am using Stock Moto G Marshmellow and it only spend 15% battery while I am constantly using it on face book and youtube.
I have installed most of the Roms and now I had to switch back to stock ROM due to an issue which I assumed was due t6o custom ROMs . Now I have realised the issue is with proximity sensor not trhe ROMs so I want to switch back to a custom ROM but battery is my main concern. Durring last few months any Nougat base ROM I used Battery usage per hpour is between 20%-25% and this is with cpu on balanced for battery friendly. so my question is
Is there any Nougat base ROM for Moto G 2015 which spend only 15% battery per hour where comnstantly used on facebook/youtube?
Use Slim rom 7 with a custom kernel like Optimus or Squid
Before recommending SLIM, you might want to see what they have been up to lately... https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NicholasChumCDT/posts/fhMc9SzMACy
Moto may not do some things right, but they know how to optimize a rom and kernel... What you are experiencing is normal and the stock ROM/kernel combination will provide the best battery life of any custom ROM with packaged kernel you will find.
With a good quality ROM, a custom kernel, and lots of tweaking you might be able to approach stock battery life, or if you are willing to take some noticeable performance hits you might be able to slightly improve on stock battery life.
So to answer your question, no there are not.
Share ur thoughts guys
I have tried a few Nougat ROM's ...AEX, AICP, Cosmic, DU to name a few...almost all of them have very similar battery behavior...idle drain seems to be more compared to MM ROM's....so, if battery life is your main priority...i guess you need to go back to MM or even LP...but, of course, battery behavior might vary for each person depending on the usage..
This is a duplicate question.
Its preference, I use aosp-caf now because I don't need any feature bloated ROM. Test stuff yourself every phone behaves different
Best ROM is AOSP-CAF https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/development/osprey-aosp-caf-7-1-1-t3576936 I have used most of Nougat ROMS and best one I FOUND CLOSER to stock Marshmellow in terms of battery life is thsi ROM. I am using thsi with nano Gapps an I have not use root an dusing it unrooted. Make suer adaptive brighness , live display and ambient display is off fro better battery .
In this ROM thread theer are extra suggestion given in Q & A post by using a Kernel Editor to save extra bettery life . I have not used that part so this may also help you more for better battery efficiency
I switched from a Lenovo z2 plus to a galaxy s7. The switch has been a mixed bag till now.. i enjoy the camera to the core and the amoled screen..wow.. the main thing that is bugging me is the battery life i does not even last a full day and im not even using it heavily. the z2 plus used to give me a 1.5 days life on medium usage(official lineageos 16).
Could someone point me to the best rom out there(i dont mind the version) in terms of battery life.. i dont mind taking a hit on the performance.
I'm happy with the battery life and the overall experience on unofficial LOS16, but you lose all the stock Samsung apps and camera. The thread seems to be a rather mixed bag of issues and bugs, but it's largely been flawless for me.

is there any rom that allows me to keep the camera performance intact but get battery ?
imo the GCam ports quality is on par with stock, but they're rather unstable and tend to freeze and crash.
Otherwise I haven't used any Samsung based ROMs since Nougat, so I can't say myself which are best for battery.
There are many other ROMs to choose from just check the development section of the Samsung S7 thread.

Could someone please point me to a custom kernel for exynos dual sim s7 running on stock oreo..
And also how to install that kernel..
Hey there! So in the past, I was really into tinkering with phones and flashing the newest and fastest kernels, but after a few burns (bricking a phone in a middle of a trip :') ) I've started to prioritize stability. So I may not have updated it in almost 2 years, whoops.
My main concern is battery life and stability. What would you recommend? Is the official MIUI 13 stable and has a good battery life? Or is there anything better?
Thanks!
