Objectively fastest current rom is?

Now that Pokemon Go was released. I was wondering which rom is in fact, the fastest, especially for gaming. Doesn't matter which android it is, 5.0, 5.1 or 6.
Is it omni rom, exodus, slim? CM is a bit slower than AOSP roms, as far as I have noticed.
What's your opinion on this topic? Any help would be appreciated.

I am using CM 13 from about one week and its the fastest for me. But I changed kernel. Now I have KaminariKernel and I overclocked CPU and GPU. Also I change i/o to bfq. Do you want some ss from my Kernel Adiutor?
yes, I play Pokemon GO on Moto G and its working very well But AR MODE is not working :/

ID crisis 6>AOSP CAF > OMNI> Slim>CM
just my opinion.

I did a Geekbench 3 test previously.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/moto-g-falcon-geekbench-3-test-roms-t3379663
In fact, I further performed the test on all available ROMs that I can find for Moto G (Falcon) which I didn't post here at XDA as I found out that the difference between the "top performers" and "low performers" is less than 2%, which I conclude as insignificant.
Hence, it's my opinion that there's no fastest or slowest ROM, only stable or not, or whether feature-rich (like DU, RR) or stock-like (Omni, Slim, Exodus).

In my opinion the IDC6 is not the fastest

To be fair, IDC6 includes a Stock Kernel not optimized for performance. To unlock the ROMs potential, you need to flash KaminariKernel. I suspect most custom ROMs include a Kernel that has been tweaked for performance.

but sir, battery drain beside performance is also an important thing I think. id crisis 6 stock kernel does the job perfectly. butter.

Well, since I wrote this, I moved from the latest exodus to the latest 6.0 omni rom. And well, the difference is massive. No offence to the exodus, but this is like a night and day. Pokemon Go runs great, battery life is solid, overall performance is snappy and fast (it feels like a stock rom back in the day). Thanks for the tips lads!

Thanks SlashSpeed, I am using RRemix and I find Pokemon GO unplayable after a short time, overheats and starts runnning really slowly. I will try omni rom. Although I am not expecting miracles, the 1gb RAM will always hold this phone back
I love this phone and it has been the perfect phone for me until Pokemon GO came out
EDIT: I do not see a Omni rom for the Moto G 4g
Anyone know what the fastest rom would be for Moto G 4g (perigrine)?
I am not worried about battery life, mostly performance.

I recently switched to marshmellow, first on Omnirom (with kaminari kernel) and now on ID6 (always with kaminari kernel). Not even comparable, Omnirom is smooth in daily use, but for gaming ID6 is incredible, it doesn't look even like a moto g anymore, compared to the laggy stock or the (speaking about gaming) Omni...

What is the best ROM?

Hello,
What is the best ROM for this device? For me is important battery Life and stability. Do you suggest miui or an other rom?
Thanks

For me SMiui, but sadly the ROM is going down (Developer is stepping away), then TS - CM13 is also good, but It hasn't have an update for almost 2 months, TS - OMNI looks like is the only ROM Ive tried and is good and have support.

Slim Rom by far...

miui7 stable

I'm currently using the TS CM13.1 ROM as a daily driver. Pretty much bug free, gets me around 5h SOT every time - heck yesterday I've had data or WiFi on all the time, as well as GPS for 1 hour and a half of screen on and brightness to more than 75% on average and it lasted an incredible 4 hours and 40 minutes!! That said, my device is only 4 months old so I might be that too. It has the most features if we don't count the Resurrection Remix one, which I don't really use anymore due to the high battery consumption. Only let down of this one is that it does not look like it's being maintained.
I've tried Slim6, Mokee, Paranoid Android and Omni as well - smiui was my first ROM, but I'm assuming you're looking to switch away from miui, and if you are not, then I'd say you totally should. Plus smiui is getting abandoned I read.
Slim6 is a light rom which still offers enough features. It has the best battery so I'd go with that one if I were concerned about that mostly. Paranoid Android is also quite full of features, similar to CM in that regard, but it looks like it's still being updated by team superluminal. It's probably just a wee bit lighter so battery life might be marginally better, though you won't notice the change. Mokee is the only official ROM and it's quite full of unique features as well.
Omni is also a complete ROM which I'd say is a good middle path between Slim6 and CM/PA, but since it doesn't have a lot more features than Slim and the battery life is not that much better than the other 3, I'd much rather go with one of the other 4 if I were you, unless something in particular about it doesn't strike you. That said, a new build was released a couple of days ago, differently from the other 2 Team Superluminal roms.
Stability wise, all those 5 are perfect today thanks to the long development they've been through by now.

try use mokee rom dude , its verry good rom for me

You summed it up so well. Pretty much all of the roms above are stable enough as a daily driver. TS's roms are still maintained, but the update cycle is slower (the last update for Omni was just two days ago). I'm using Mokee currently and it has been super stable and the updates (for paying customers) are incremental which makes updating easy. In the end it all comes down to your own preferences. I'm probably going to install TS's new Omni ROM later tonight since I "kinda" liked the Ambient display feature and so far TS's ROMs are the only ones that I've seen the AD feature/gimmick to work.

Obviously, the one all the other CM builds are based on...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/development/source-code-nexus-fy-libra-t3354941
Fully open source ROM and kernel, built by someone other than the main developer, and very stable. The most official unofficial CM13.1 build you'll find.

Try miui.eu for daily usage and game. No lag and more battery backup.

Am using Team Superluminal ROM right now and for my needs it is pretty good. Have tried the nexus-ify ROM but the MTP mode with USB does not work so i have trouble transferring data to my phone. with TS ROM it is fast and stable. Battery life is good, but standard really.
If you have to have more camera control and slightly better camera result, MIUI is the only option but that means stuck with 5.1.1 and it's MRA bug (solvable with Xposed mod i guess but never tried) and no native Doze. But for what it stands right now, even CM camera is giving you many option that can improve your photo quality like denoise/ISO/Contrast/Sharpness level.. except shutter speed.

using Resurrection, no problems, many kernel options; yankactive on last build, no complaints whatsoever, everything works.

if you like costumize rom, use resurrection remix, but if go for camera with stable daily use, use smiui 6.9.29, both of them have good battery life

A team will try to maintain the work on Smiui !

Not the most stable at all though, I'm afraid.

How so exactly? Please file a bug with information.

Compared with MiUI camera, Snapdragon Camera gives equally good results and even more control options. It's just that MiUI has a better UI. You can also control shutter speed in Snapdragon Camera, but you have to manually enter the shutter speed in ms for every shot, which is extremely inconvenient.

MTP doesn't work in my case, so still needs some improvement.

I haven't been testing it but lurking through its thread it just looks like there are too many issues to justify its use as a daily driver. I'm sure it's a great rom which was helpful to further develop the others that were based on it but unstable builds are just not for me.

Smiui lasts one more hour than xiaomi.eu (stable version)

What about the rom with the smallest ram consumption? (slimest rom I assume??). As I am using a 2gb ram version and I need to use those stupid badly developed ram hogging China apps

Best rom based on N

I am new to this device, pls suggest best rom for this phone
Battery and performance my priority

'Best' is a highly misused term. There is no 'best' ROM. You'll have to try out a couple of them and then stick to the one you like best. As far as a suggestion is concerned, all the ROMs out there right now are pretty stable and have good performance and you shouldn't face any major problems. From my side, I'll suggest AOSP extended v4.0 or Official LineageOS.

I agree AOSP extended is best. Also best developer does this rom.

I find LineageOS to be sweet. It's the only rom I've flashed on the MG3, but I had a pretty good idea what I wanted as I have flashed many roms on many phones in the past. If you don't have such experience then I definitely agree with the idea of trying a few different ones to get a sense of what's out there in terms of stability, reliability, and support. But most of all, HAVE FUN!!!

You can use resurrection remix rom it's awesome

Aosp extended

Hello everyone
I tried many ROM : RR, AICP, LOS, AOSP Extended.... Now I'm trying Pure Nexus with BeansGapps Mini. This one have the essential, light, stable, good performance. I like RR a lot : many settings, stable and good performance too.
Try and choose

Lineage 14.1 with Greenify

Best rom moto g2015

What is the best rom for Moto G2015 in your opinion? In terms of performance, battery, etc...
Already used MIUI8, Ressurection Remix and I'm currently using AOSP Extended, for the time being I liked the most is Ressurection...

Ressurection Remix 6.0.1 22/9/2016
Ressurection Remix 7.1.1 29/3/2017

OMG!!! Do we really have to try to do this again?!?! Can't you just read through the dozen other threads like this?
Answer: THERE IS NO BEST ROM for any device... period. Only what is best for you, the only way to find out is try them. If anyone says XXXXXX is the best ROM, it is their opinion, some will agree and some will say it is garbage but YYYYYY ROM is the best.
Best battery: Stock
Best performance: Stock
Can you get a custom ROM to have better performance -OR- battery life, sure... Tweak the kernel a bit, but you won't get both better battery life and increased performance.
Motorola does lots of things wrong, but they know (or knew) how to optimize a ROM and kernel, the stock ROM has the best balance of battery life and performance, hands down. There is even a thread testing various kernels and ROM's (look, I'm not going to link it) and it proves it. There are some custom kernels that can get you a bit of boost one way or the other, but isn't significant.
Go here and you will see someone thinks every ROM is the best somewhere... https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/daily-driver-rom-osprey-discussion-t3333513

What's the best rom right now for battery consumption ?

Hello everyone,
I'm still on my old OnePlus One and i'm currently having freeze and some issues with this old Sultan bacon rom from cyanogen (yeah, it's been a while tho).
So i'm searching for the best rom for this phone right now and i can't really decide so i told myself i should ask you folks !
My criteria are simple, i'm searching for a rom that is optimized for battery consumption and that is stable.
Also, i just saw a rom was created for Android Oreo, and i'm asking myself if it's really worth it to install a 8.+ rom or a 7.+ for the OPO.
I apologize if it's not in the right section,
Thanks in advance tho ! c:

Unofficial HalogenOS Nougat By Silver best nougat ROM for #Bacon...
Good Things:
-Best Camera [OOS v3 Camera Blobs]
-Op5 Camera Supported
-Super Smooth
-Color Engine
-Substratum
-Great Battery Backup
Missing:
-Data Indicator on Status Bar
-Custom LED Notification Color [You can't change the color]

I tried AOSiP, very stable but had some problem with battery life. Yesterday I flashed AOSPextended v4.5, first impressions are great stability and a better battery life, but I'll give you a better response after some more testing.
I think AOSPextended has no more support for Nougat (they are now releasing Oreo ROM) but I want to use Xposed...

Currently very busy with work, flashaholic activities are on hold for the moment. Will try out your rom later

Battery Optimized = Performance drop and Display Brightness Drop.
Best ROM overall is Lineage OS.
If you care about battery life Just Go to Settings-> Battery -> Current Profile -> Efficiency. You can also lower the Screen Brightens and you are done.
Don't bother with experimental Android 8 ROMs they are not ready yet for the average user.

Well thank you all for you advices, i'm looking at all the roms you recommended me
I'll check in details each specific characteristics !
and yeah frankzappatistas that's what i figured out by snooping all the current 8.0+ roms topic

Its not just about the ROM build, but how Google Play has a tendency to drain your battery with all the alarms & wake locks firing off. Jgcaap has a nice build that is smooth & with quite a few optimization on. Resurrection Remix ROM is still my goto build for its wakelock blocking (be careful with this though) used alongside Lightning Kernel & Naptime by Francisco Franco, you should get pretty decent battery life. DoTOS is very nippy in screen animation & runs apps quickly as well.
It is pretty friendly on battery life too .
Any of these three ROM are fantastic when coupled with a decent Kernel though. It just depends on your personal choice.
