Anyone know any reliable ROMs for a Nexus 6 on marshmallow 6.0.1
IV tried to search for ROMs and have installed and deleted about 6 in total none of them work one nearly worked benzo but had to many hickups to be any use tryed to install the kernel that came with it but had no effect I would like to use benzo I searched alot into this it seems ideal but as I'm new to this I didn't understand y it didn't work properly I wiped data after flashing it so should in theory work only thing I could put it down to is some settings are conflicting with one another not sure if this is possible as each and every other setting should override one another to priority I ended up restoring my phone and just using stock atm
Hey Mike. I have flashed several excellent and reliable ROMS that can be used as daily drivers on my Nexus 6. AOSiP was a nice, solid stable ROM with plenty of features. Pure Nexus is a ROM that I use as well without any issues. Currently I am running N6XShamu with the Blackb1rd Kernek and they work very nice together. Super fast, buttery smooth and an excellent ROM experience overall. What ROMs have you tried and what issues were you having ? What recovery are you using and what version? Do you know what bootloader version currently have? Also, when ashing the different ROMs did you make sure to do a clean install by wiping everything except your internal storage? I can help you get this figured out so you can enjoy a custom ROM.

I have the same problem. I'm angle to run cm10 without issue but any other jb ROM gives me this WiFi problem. Interested in solutions as well.

Have you checked to make sure you are using the recommended kernel for your ROM?

Use the recommended kernel, I've had this before and it was bugging me like crazy, then I found out I was using the wrong kernel, flashed the recommended one and voila. No more wifi issues :victory:

I have this problem without installing different kernels. On cm10 my WiFi works fine as well as any ICS Roms. With any jb ROM I haven't been able to over clock though which is a bit disappointing also. That plus the WiFi issue that is.

OK thanks I will try that I have not been flashing different kernels
OK,
So I have tried the Cyan and Omni ROM's.
I must have done something wrong with Cyan as Google Mail kept crashing during initial setup.
Omni has been working fine and seems solid.
So far I have only tried CM11 and Omni 4.4.2
I just want a fast yet stable ROM.
While the two I have tried do fit that bill I'm just wondering what the other options are.
I am a newbie to all this and have been using TWRP to flash the ROM's so it's been pretty simple so far.
Any input is welcome but as a newbie hopefully something similar or as simple to what I've been doing would be best (don't want to brick this thing TF300T)
Thank!

CROM1-x is usually both fast and stable, Android 4.2.2. I think you may have misflashed the gapps with the gmail crashes though, becuase I'm not getting those with CM11.

Im con CM11 and so far it has been excellent! Better than stock 4.2, you should flash it again.
I just bought a new Nexus 5. I love all the extra features custom ROMs come with, and I bought this phone because it has the best ROMs
How good are the various custom ROMs in terms of stability and battery life at present? Should I switch to a ROM rightaway or is it better to wait for better/more stable builds (the ROMs I'm considering are still in beta)?
Imho the best rom is purity for n5, stable and rock solid. For kernels there are a lot but i personally use faux

Hello,
Please read the stickies before creating a new topic. ROM Comparison threads are not allowed here. You can head over to the development section and try the various AWESOME roms which have been developed and settle on the one which suits you the best!
I would reccomend you to stay stock for at least a few weeks so that you feel the stock experience for a while and then jump on to a custom rom as you will now have something to compare the custom rom with and the awesome feeling when you jump from stock to custom!
Almost all the custom roms which are there in the development section are stable enough to be used as a daily driver...
Just a friendly reminder that this thread is about the stability about custom ROMs, not which ROM's the best/better than...
Discussions about stability are ok, but please don't slide into "best ROM" discussions, or else I have to close this thread
Stock works very well. I would recommend you unlock the bootloader right away, then run stock for awhile. Rooted stock with xposed+ gravity box will get you just about anything a custom Rom will have.

The phone is already unlocked/rooted/running CWM. That's the first thing I did when I unboxed it. And I'm already looking into the xposed modules that would fit my requirements.

When you say "stable enough", does that mean there are still some minor issues I might encounter? Also, how would the battery life be compared to stock?

Yes there are... I'm on AICP and I get SODs once every 2-3 days... Because of the various CM patches and other stuffs, it sometimes breaks Tethering (although it is fixed by the dev the very next day)... Some other patch broke the lockscreen wallpaper on other rom...
I hope you know what I'm trying to say... These are just minor issues which occur when you flash custom roms and are ironed out by the dev within days... but they seem negligible when you get the awesome experience in using a custom rom...
What seems stable to one person may not to the next. And vice versa. We all use our phones different ways for different things. The only real way to know is read through the rom threads, starting from the last page and going backwards for latest comments and/or flash them and find out for yourself.
Thanks to nandroid backups and restores....going back to our good setup is easy if you don't like something.

I would stay stock for now and test out all of the custom kernels and see which has the greatest impact on impoving your current battery life. As said before in other threads what works for one Nexus 5 may not be the same on another one. As for the rom I prefer using stock+xposed. The modules I use are: gravitybox, xHaloFloatingWindow (with Floatifications from the play store) and greenify.
The custom dishes by our chefs are all great! Those who have to ask should stay stock for a while!
Stay stock . There has been no need for custom roms for a while. Kk is great. Kernels are another matter. I'd concentrate on finding a good kernel. All the features you want on a rom can be got with Xposed framework and modules, ie gravity box
Sent by mobile telephone.
The N5 has been out for a while, alot of awesome dev's has made roms. At this point, a custom rom is a must for the N5!
I would recommend PA for a stock experience or PAC for a all in one rom.
Thank you for the suggestions everyone.
I've had this phone for just a couple of days, so I won't rush into a custom ROM. Gravitybox and other xposed modules have most of the features and customisations I wanted, so I'll stick to stock for a while, and explore stock KK thoroughly. I might try out a few custom kernels though.
Can we start a list of sorts with Roms that work with the new bootloader?? so far i read that Dhacker29 has a few test builds of cm11 . i have one installed right now and it has some bugs but works and is faster than my hd has ever been . i can run this game i like and before it couldnt play without lagging now it runs crazy fast . anyway thank you Dhacker29 for the recovery and rom. i was reading another site and someone mentioned another dev that had a test build out for the new recovery but i cant for the life of me find or remember who it was. also how can i tell if a rom will work without trying to install it. i read that the kernel had to be 3.5 and newer or some shshhsh. anyway thanks in advance to anyone that responds
I second this. Was actually thinking of suggesting the same thing. Might help keep people from flashing the JB kernel Roms and asking what they did wrong. Least maybe a bit more.

almost forgot
heres a link to Dhackers Test rom that im using . it has a few minor bugs but all the hardware works soo

Any stable builds? Maybe some that use stock and then tweak it out.
i think you can install the stock files and then root and use a root app manager to remove all the bloatware from your phone. there is even a thread that tells you all the apps you can get rid of without jacking anything up. here you can check it out

after root you can download xposed installer and then download one of the customizing modules and you can then change your icons in the status bar. nav bar, even alter the way your toast messages come in . anything you can think change the color of your wifi and 4g icons or change them to something entirely diff . here check that out too . you probably already know all this already but just in case.

This is what I did. I was already running stock KK before rooting/unlocking. Still running it now but I removed a lot of crap. I'm looking forward to at least a few stable ROMs to try out on this phone, but I'm cool with this for now.

Does anyone know if the available KK-bootloader roms work on xt925? I know the ROM unification for a lot of devices have taken place. I am not sure this also happens with the new KK-bootlader, or if we are back on the old xt925 vs xt926 compatability devide...
Thanks in advance.

Gummy rom tested on my xt925. Stuck at unlocked bootloader sign. I don't think xt925 is supported yet.
Yeah I don't know if any have xt925 support or not. Hopefully they will include them eventually.
Gummy Rom
I recently tried Gummy Rom for 3.4 kernel. It was pretty good, but had trouble with bluetooth freezing the phone and wifi dropout at times. It has great progress, and appreciate those who are working on it. :good:
I have installed dhacker's 4.4 cm build from 24/6. Happy to report that it boots - and so far, at least - works great. This is on an xt925! It's the first 4.4 bootloader rom other than moto that I have got to actually boot up on this phone.
I installed gummy and have been using the auto updater running nightlies right now I'm running 6-24 build . it seems like the the previous ver. had fixed the screen dimming issue but it seemed to come back on this ver. but rarely happens I haven't tied Bluetooth yet and the popping/static sound issue is still there but other than that I like the rom . thanks for

In droidrzr forums there is an Unofficial Omni Rom for kitkat bootloader..
btw, for xt925, dhacker says that we only need the new bootloader (maybe installing the leaked soak test from France we can use the newest roms)
I've used many ROMs on my nexus 5 but always had troubles fighting with the battery, (ofc used battery stats properly), fighting bugs (ive tried many betas also..)
and backing up and reinstalling.. you know the stories..
but soon I won't have my PC and I should choose 1 stable ROM and kernel that works together properly... I know its FAQ but it changes everyday, and i would like to hear your recommendations:
the only special feature I use: Call recording (doesn't work on stock)
-Battery stable
-least amount of bugs (stable rom)
Would love to get your offers for stable ROM and Kernel that worked for you.
I will also get STOCK for an answer, tho im using it now and having troubles updating properly without PC have some minor bugs and shutdowns and not completely stable.
and how to FULL BACKUP nexus properly?
thanks in advance

1. My favourites: stock 4.4.4 with Xposed, stock 5.0.2 with Xposed and now Cataclysm 5.1.
2. Battery life doesn't depend on kernel, but on your habits and your battery hog apps.
3. I recommend full nandroid backup in TWRP.
4. There isn't such thing like thanks in advance. It is a nonsence. You can't be thankful for something you even didn't get yet. If you are realy thankful for something, say it after, will sound much more honest.
