This is my first time installing a custom ROM on my original Moto G and with so many to choose from I was wondering what your opinion is. The Overview of the ROM doesn't say much about speed/battery/CPU Usage etc. I'm looking for a ROM that's light on CPU and Battery as well as fast and customizable. I know CM is the most popular but I've heard it's not to good with battery life. Oh, and one more thing, Going with customizeability/features idea I would prefer Android 6. Any input would be greatly apreciated
P.S. Wouldn't mind kernel recommendations either, but I have a less than basic understanding of a kernel .
I would recommand ResurrectionRemix its based on 6.0.1 and has the april 2 security update and has OTA support its based on CM13 also but has so many tweaks and customization without loosing fluidity and smoothness im runnning it after testing multiple rom andits the one I<ll stay with until android 7... im getting 6h screen on time on a 12h uptime day (yesterday) it also offers the cm13 theme installer so pretty sick
Hello Mattwmaster58,
I am in the same situation - looking for a fast, stable(!) & bug-free rom with very good battery-performance.
I have testet many xda-roms for my old samsung-phone (S3 mini), and was surprised how much one differs from the others.
There is quite big list of number of Custom ROMs available for Moto G which might confuse users like us. Every single rom has some advantages and disadvantages.
For me it is important that the rom-thread provides a list of bugs and features, and also shows what changes were made (for instance: Omni-Rom).
I haven't shifted from Orion OS from 4 months give it a try buttery smooth and stable totally bug free if u don't use soft reboot that's IMO nothing big
Btw do tell if u find a better in terms of battery or performance or either
I have tested 15 ROMs for Moto G (Falcon) and below is my recommendation of ROMs :
- Omnirom : Stable and fluid.
- SlimSaber : Optimized version of Omnirom - fast smooth and stable, especially previous version. Good battery SoT.
- Exodus : rock solid stable.
- IDCrisis : stock based, stable

I wanna create a thread, to help each other finding the right ROM, according to our needs....we will debate the stability, performance and autonomy ( battery life)
i m not a fan of a single developer, now i am on Monxdified v.8.02, the first custom rom on NOTE 2, i got a good battery life, is stable, smooth...what else is out there to try?
I m interested in stability and battery life , and few options on top of the rom, not tons, just basic stuff, like the 4 way reboot, customizable toogles, etc
Devices History:
Motorola Defy (Cyanogen mod 7.2)
Motorola Razr XT 910
HTC One X (Blade Rom , ViperX, ARHD)
Samsung Note 2 N7100 ( Monxdified v 8.02)
Monxdified v8.02....moderate use, low battery draining, specially in standby
i think you cant say that there is a best rom. battery and "smoothness" really always depends extremely on the user and is not really measurable objective.
Don't know what everybody wants to know about stability? If there are no force closes (which is the case with almost every ROM) it is stable right? Of course there are some extraordinary roms like cm 10.1 (camera might get stuck or phone can't connect to camera) or weeo's and mazanda(?) note 8 rom (which got occasional hiccups and force closes because it is something way different and a lot of work) but the rest (based on sammy) is always stable isn't it? Phoenix rom, android revolution, criskelo's rom etc etc are all smooth, battery friendly and stable. I think it is just personal preference (like customization in aroma) and what the rom looks like that makes users choose one or another.
and as you haven't created something this thread probably belongs in general discussion. - just saying
Closing this thread as there is no better Rom than others.
They are all different and one Rom that fits someone needs might not be suitable to another user.
Hello guys,
So many of us mi4i users have received the miui 8 stable ota update and some of us have downloaded the rom using the links in miui forum and xda forum.
I downloaded it using the bigota link. And flashed it using Twrp on 20th. I was on Global beta.
So after 2days of usual this is what i feel about the rom.
Let me divide it into simple points of pros nd cons.
Lets start with the cons.
1) Its still on 5.0.2 which is the biggest disappointment for many. Well i pretty much expected it to be as Global beta was also on 5.0.2
2) Camera focus issue is far from fixed.
3) Memory optimisation is better than the last miui stable but yet leaves a lot to be desired.
4) Some new features dont work sometimes. Like the scrolling screenshot doesnt work on all apps.
5) Still no voLTE support though the chipset supports it.
6) To me beta rom feels a lot better compared to the stable one. In every aspect.
Those were the major cons with the device.
Now coming to pros here. Nothing much special to expect.
1) New miui features are good as long as they work. I m not gonna write all the features in different points. Coz everyone alredy knws the new features.
2) From Miui 6 to now miui 8 xiaomi has really optimized the snapdragon 615 to the minimal heating experience.
3) The memory optimisation as i said in cons is improved but still a lot left to be done.
This is all i could find. Please feel free to write down below what you think about the New miui8. What you liked and disliked about this update.

Thanks for ur review..
Basically, what i said in the title, i have an old Moto G that i want to flash to see if i can improve some things about it. i hope you can redirect me to a good flashing guide and tell me which flash is the best, pros and cons of each... this world is kind of new to me.
Lineage OS 14.1 or Resurrection Remix
I recommend Lineage OS if smoothness and stability are your main priority. Ive been using it as my daily driver for 8 months and it is wonderfully smooth. Had Blisspop before L.OS which almost made me change phones cause it was laggy and unstable.
Have not personally used Resurrection Remix but a couple of friends who use it say it is as stable as lineage.,
Good luck selecting your first rom
Pros of Lineage OS
-Stable
-Fluid Smooth
-Frequent Updates and Patches
Cons of Lineage OS
-Very limited customization
-Not Pre-Rooted (though it barely takes a minute or so to root it)
-Battery backup is rather underwhelming
Am currently using LOS 14.1 but am not completely satisfied in terms of customisations (coming from rr.i love rr).However since rr takes up a lot if space and didn't receive the love it deserve .I have chose 3 options which should i take:
CrDroid
Aex
Aicp
In terms of pure customisations and performance which should i choose?I am willing to trade a little bit of performance for more customisability.
In my opinion AICP ROM is the best because crdroid aex have the same problems
The video does not work and
Wab view
This ROM is best in terms of performance and the space it uses but in not customization
It is based on the stock rom and the lollipop version of android
It is the lollipop extreme rom
Just checked the list of devices receiving the Android 12 update with OneUI 4 and our beloved Galaxy A20 is nowhere to be seen. Since the A20 already got 2 major updates the possibility of Samsung putting any effort to surprise users is very low.
Multiple security updates are yet to come but any OS updates is highly unlikely.
What are your thoughts? Which custom rom are you going to prefer if any?
Edit : OneUI 4.1 ROM is now available for A205X. OneUI 5.1 is in beta.
I noticed Eureka are releasing a lot of Android 12 ROMS lately. There's:
LighthouseOS
PixelPlusUI
crDroid
ProjectArcana
SuperiorOS
AospExtended
evolution
Arrow
I haven't installed any yet because I don't really want to move from OS 11 to 12 at this time.

I've been following Eureka Team on Telegram for quite some time now. Almost all the Android S ROMs are test builds. Some common features and settings are missing. Those who implemented the features are broken in many areas.
Android 12 has impressed me with it's performance so far. It's noticeably faster than any Android R ROMs I've used.
Fingers crossed, I have a lot of hope in Eureka.

What ROM are you running now? Is there one you would recommend?
I'm using the Stock ROM - June update. Basically removed the features considered useless, installed Eureka and called it a day. Tried hKtweaks but it just makes the phone unstable.
Project Sakura is what stayed on my phone for the longest time. UI might look less uniform at times but does the job.
Custom ROMs are a mere hobby for me. If A20 is your daily driver then I won't recommend using any custom rom at all. voLTE is broken in all all of them. But I still try every ROM that comes out.
-------------------------
Exceptions of voLTE bug are the modded OneUI ROMs, basically debloated stock ROMs which you could simply do by rooting, no need to waste data for just more broken features.
