Starting from scratch: Best ROM for OnePlus One (unlocked bootloader)? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im decided that Its time to wipe my OnePlus One and start all over again. I have a unlocked bootloader so I can put any ROM I wish.
Im looking to keep all the feature I currently have, more so Bluetooth as I use it in my car daily. I use this for work so no nightlies or testing out ROMs that might or might not have bugs. Also latest marshmellow.
What do you recommend?

Sultan's CM13.

Official CM13 nightly builds for OPO or Official CM13 stable

Paranoid android AOSPA rom

Fusionjack's SlimSaber
It's rock solid and has some nice features

[Q] Question about switching from CM 10.1.3 to Pac Rom

Im thinking of switching from CM10.1.3 to Pac Rom, but i had a couple quick questions first.
Im currently running the stable release of CM10.1.3, and i wanted to switch to Pac Rom, but there are 2 versions available from Pac. The first is pac_d2vzw-22.2.0-rc1.zip and the other is pac_d2vzw-milestone.1.RC1.zip. The release date for milestone 1 is after RC1, so i should use that one as it would be more stable, right?
Also, the current kernel i have on my phone is listed as follows:
3.4.53-cyanogenmod-g93e5fff
Is this kernel fine to use for Pac, or should i consider something different?
Thanks!

difference between xnph44s and cm11 m11

Hi team,
Quick question from a newbie.
What's the difference between the fw preinstalled on my opo and cm11s m11.
When cm12s will be released, both fw will receive ota at the same time?
Thanks
Ebt
Cm11/cm12 is faster with updates there is already cm12
Cm11s is the same but has different lock screen and thats acualy the only thing i see is different and the only thing I like..
Cm12s will come like next year begin January.
They're both very similar but the way that the updates work for CM11 and CM11S (XNPH44S) are different.
CM11S contains some closed-source applications such as the lock screen, AudioFX (supposed to be open sourced but not yet), WhisperPush, and some other applications
CM11.... is possible to flash a zip (you'll have to find it) and make it be like CM11S since all the applications are in that zip.
Personally, I would just forget about CM11 and CM11S and flash CM12 and get in the Lollipop business as thats where all the interest is in right now.
Both, thanks for your reply.
Very useful to understand difference between CM11s/CM11.
But definitely, I'll go for CM12
Cm11s is the opo specific ROM for our phones. It has features or fixes for opo specifically. It's the "stable" version good for public release.
Cm11 is either snapshots deemed stable (example m10, m11, etc) but there's also cm11 nightlies that are not deemed stable they are built every night with usually new additions that could make things better or worse until tested
Cm11 based ROM are all KitKat ROM
Cm12 projects are all Lollipop based ROM. As you can see there's no snapshots such as cm12 m1 etc so there's no version deemed stable. In fact CyanogenMod hasn't even released one officially, everything you see here is unofficial and built by users.
Cm12 ROM are all in alpha stages but CyanogenMod is working on it at this point

[Q&A] CM 12.1 nightlies vs CM 12.1 OS? (+ other)

Hi guys, i've searched an answer to this but nothing so here I am.
What are the main differences from CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightlies and CyanogenOS 12.1?
The OS is build especially for the One plus One and so?? The battery drain is different? The desing??
Do you recommend one or another?
And for finish this, why I would install a rom on my smartphone built on Cyanogen? Why I would change the kernel?
Thanks
They're from the same tree but are different branches. CM12.1 is the nightly branch, more up to date, but can be susceptible to bugs. COS12.1 is considered to be the stable branch, less up to date. There is plenty of information online on why one would use a custom kernel, just search for it.

Most usable CM release

Hi all,
I have some problems with my stock ROM.
That's time to format all, and for going on new more stable and powerful rom !
Could you tell me which is the most usable/stable CM Rom by now ?
I used to use CM11, but it changes to branch CM12, then CM12.1 and after the first M-release, it changed again to CM13 branch.
So, any idea which one to use today with my XT1032 falcon ?
I know there is no official stable release by now, but some nightlies or M-release were very stable for a simple usage as mine.
Thank you in advance.
choice may very person to person.
in my case I got most stable CM is unofficial cm12.1 by fonz93.
and most stable AOSP based is minimal os.

Help Needed Nexus 5

Good Day XDA Friends​
As you can see from my tag, I am a retired developer.I was around in the days od Droid, Droid X, & Nexus G and was a member of a few outstanding teams like Team Liberty, Team Gummy, Sensei Mods, etc & had the pleasure of learning from pioneers like Chevy No.1 Droid, Jrunny16, Kejar31, Fab, etc. Things were much more cut and dry back then. Fast forward to today in the land of MM, Nougant, etc and I have a lot of catching up to do. First I would like to thank all you newer Devs who have kept Android growing & thriving beyond anything we thought possible, kudos to you guys!
I purchased a Nexus 5 to practice and learn on, but the phone will also be my daily driver, so I don't want to bomb out of the gate and brick my phone.
I am running the Google Nexus 5 with stock Android 6.0.1 build M4B30X on baseband M8974A-2.050.2.30, Kernal is 3.4.0-g99666f7.
I have rooted the phone and have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP 2.8.7.1, but that is the extent of my customizations.
I would like to get into Nougant Roms and possibly CM. Not Sure what to flash next to become current.
I would appreciate any guidence you can give on my next steps as far as what my next steps should be. I'm looking at [HAMMERHEAD][7.1.1_r6] Zephyr OS v6.1 [DUI/OMS][27/12/2016] - [N5][OFFICIAL][7.1.0]Tesla N - 7.1.1_r4 [OMS] [28/12] - [CM14.1][7.1.1_r6] DARK ROM [Pixel features][Delta updates][12/29] - [ROM][N5][7.1.1_6]★ Pure Nexus ★ Substratum ★[16/12/16] [Official] CyanogenMod 14.1 for Nexus 5 (hammerhead)- [ROM] [hammerhead+caf] [7.1.1] [LOS-based] **crDroid**v1.8 - [Hammerhead][official][2016/DEC/28] Slim6 weekly 1.17 / Slim7 alpha 0.5
Could someone who is knowledgeable tell me or link me to any upsates I must haave befoe flafing?
Thanks in advance for your time! :good:

There isn't much left. The Nexus is basically unbrickable with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP, unless you corrupt a bootloader flash.
However, you have the latest bootloader and radio, so there aren't any issues there
If you want to really get into Nougat you have quite a few decent options.
In no particular order-
- Slim7 Alpha (AOSP, pretty great ROM, minimal, fantastic battery life, blows all CM ROMs out of the water in terms of battery :good:, but lacks some features that other CM ROMs have (Night Display, etc.))
- Dark ROM (CM14.1 stripped down)
- LineageOS CAF, and an unofficial non-CAF (CyanogenMod 14.1 has been renamed, and will be built under the moniker LineageOS. Non-CAF builds and the weekly builds structure will be sorted out eventually)
- NitrogenOS (fully fledged CM based and packed full of features. Everything you might have wanted with Xposed is in this ROM)
-crDroid (CM14.1 based, lots of features)
-Santosh's AOSP- constant updates, stable, most bugs have been fixed regarding HDR/screen recording/green lines while video recording
...and many more. All of these are decent daily drivers; I cannot attest to their screen recording capabilities but I do know that some do have bugs concerning that as well as Google Camera/HDR.
Please note that most Nexus 5s with non-OEM screen replacements cannot boot CAF (Snapdragon Optimized). Be sure which ROM you are flashing!
IMO CAF gives slightly better performance but is relatively unstable and results in quite a few lags across different ROMs.
I also can highly recommend the blu_spark kernel as well as the ElementalX kernel for Nougat ROMs. I prefer blu_spark for its customizability, but ElementalX is rock stable.
That's it really. Just be sure to wipe system/data/dalvik/cache before clean flashing a ROM. Never flash custom kernels/ROMs over different custom kernels/ROMs; you can generally flash the same custom kernel/ROM over a previous version of the same kernel/ROM.
I was using crDroid for a long time since first came out with N version, but now I'm using AICP, because it's AOSP based and I must say I prefer it more than CM based, I found it's power consumption is lower and lower memory footprint plus it gets constant updates, so I use it now on both D821 and G3 D855 as well...
