Hi there members of XDA,
I have autism and get very angry at technology when it freezes up for minutes and just wont respond.
Moto G3 really pushes me past the limit. Freeze after freeze, then overheating.
I have the 1GB RAM version of this device and 32GB SD Card
I have unlocked the bootloader and tried installing custom roms like AOSP 7.0 , and CM 13 and CM12, and they all seem to make my device overheat and apps like snapchat and messenger keep force closing and driving me mental. im honestly so close to chucking this phone at a wall.
Can someone recommend to me a good daily driver rom that doesnt freeze like this and get incredibly slow over time . Stock rom performance is also horrific on this device, and no i am not being oversensetive before you assume that, the freezing and overheating and bad battery life is honestly horrible
Cheers Guys,
JD

Hi,
I know that this is going to be a very subjective question, but can anyone suggest a super slick Rom for my Motorola 4G LTE?
I tried CyanogenMod but did not fair to well with it - some lag and increased battery usage.
I really need something super lightweight and prefer function over nice looks.
It seems that three of the best contenders for this phone are Carbon, Paranoid Android and SlimKat - can anyone perhaps point me the direction of which one to use (or indeed suggest anything even better)?
Thanks very much.

roms which you suggested above their, development has been stopped mostly or has been inactive for 9-10 months. You may try Resurrection Remix rom .

If you find there is lag or battery drain flash hurtsky kernel

CM 12.1 is very slim, if you just use the smallest package for gapps.
greetings
Thank you both for that - I might have to try both suggestions and see which works best for me. (I am currently using CM 13, which might be the reason I am having problems).
It is very interesting that abhi0502 has mentioned flashing the Kernel - this is something I was not even aware of until now.
How does flashing a Kernel and flashing the ROM tie in with each other? I always thought that a new ROM would automatically provide its own version of the kernel.

yes it has own kernel but if battery and performance is not good as expected you can flash kernel (that is the reason i have rooted the phone.) You can flash kernel with cm13 currently and see if performance improves. But its always recommend for clean flash (Rom+kernel+gapps) to avoid errors
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks for the advice above.
I did try flashing the kernel as suggested but it kept causing my phone to randomly reboot - although it did not work well for me on this particular occasion, I shall definitely start experimenting with other kernel's in the future.
As suggested I wiped and reinstalled Resurrection Remix with the smallest version of gapps and not only is my phone massively more responsive, but the battery improvements are really noticeable.
Thanks again.
Hy guys, i recently unlocked my Bootloader and tried new Lineage Os 14.1. Its awesome but there are few bugs i cant live with, so im searching for best stable rom for unlocked bootloader untill they make stable 14.1.
Can someone recommend any good rom? Also shoud I restore drm functions after flashing or not? Thank you for your time
@nailyk 's LineageOS is the most stable 14.1 rom that I have seen in our xperia z3 forum. If you want 14.1 rom use develop. prev. or use lineage os.

You know that Dev Preview Rom's aren't even Android 7.0 (proper one)?
They are actually Android N and most of modifications for 7.0/7.1 won't work on those.
So keep that in mind.
@mancycro I'm curious though, what type of bugs you encountered, which kept you from using LOS 14.1?
Well rom will be amazing after getting stable release. Worst thing is slow charging, 4 percent per 20.. Wifi doesnt autoconnect to network, and latest bug i experienced : phone reboots during night, probably due to overcharging. Otherwise its great. 60k on antutu

Ok, then we have a different idea of bugs, we can't live with
Besides the autoconnect bug, the overcharging is handled by an app for me (we'll see if reboots are gone),
and the slow charging gets better with time for me.
Hope they fix those bugs so you can enjoy it as well
Hi! Does that OS you guys discussing about has working camera?

Yes and it's quite similar to stock actually. Best camera quality I've seen so far for custom ROMs on the Z3
Omnirom has official weekly for z3 d6603! Android 7.1.2! I have not infomations for this last build!
Anyone??

I've been testing some Oreo ROMs and most are not that stable and reboots randomly... So it would be great if anyone know any stable 8.1 daily driver for osprey.

Presently there is no daily driver oreo rom available for osprey..
Every Oreo Rom has some positive & negative points now..
Better to stick with any Nougat Rom for now if you wanted to use as daily driver...

Well I'm fine as long as the bugs aren't major ones such as reboots, missing Android settings, etc.

Aex 5.1 or Cypher os 5.1 for Customization..
Aosp 8.1 / los 15.1 for clean aosp Rom..
Pixel experience for pixel Feel..

My choice would be Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 . It's what I use for a daily when I'm not testing.

The thing is with that ROM is that Permissive mode is buggy or not working which is a problem as I use audio mods that requires that mode. Currently I am running Pixel Experience 8.1 and noticed battery drain and lag in the lock screen and home screen, for example when dragging the app drawer (Moto g 2015 xt1540 8GB). I was thinking about switching to the Go edition but if you have any other suggestions I would be happy to test it out as soon as I got my internet connection back.

Yes, you quickly run out of ROM suggestions and all of these very early ROMs have their shortcomings. I understood that permissive worked on this one - I know it does not on the 64 bit version yet. I guess I don't use it so don't notice. Audio I get from my sound bar in front of my TV - LOL - my phone even pairs with it!! - more LOL(LG something). I have always gotten great sound from the G3 simply by pairing my ancient MotoRokr S9-HD - fantastic sound!!! But, yes, you really have to try them all one by one and see what limitations you are willing to put up with.
But again, they are VERY early, yet. I suspect we'll have much more in another month or 2. Amazing when you think of this little G3 being 2 years old and getting all this!!!!!!! And I bet in another year we'll be playing with Pez! Amazing what Devs can do with google sources!!!
Same Here Tried many ROMS including lineage os 15.1 Alberto 97 AOSP and AOSP Extended 5.1 the only one which sucessfully booted was lineage os 15.1 .The rest bricked and boot-looped my phone so I went back to lineage 14.1 did anyone have similar experiences ?. I Then Sucessfully Flashed Lineage 15.1 and now everything is perfect it feels so good to have Stock Android 8.1.
Right now probably Aosp extended 5.2 it's a android 8.1 based rom and is very stable the only issue I've had is finding the correct gapps as they are not officially available.
Hello,
I got a real good deal on the samsung s7 so i took it.
My question to you is, shall is stick to stock os or install a custom rom?
the reason i ask this is cause i was using a redmi note 4 and the custom firmware is kinda buggy, i need to reboot once a while. its running on 8.1.
it has LTE issues, Keyboard issues, apps crash randomly, slows down once a while.
Also, if i root it and install 8.1 on my samsung will the camera quality go down? i have heard this is true? can someone please correct me.
Honestly i want a stable experiance with a good camera, thats all.
Please advice.
Stable & Full camera quality, stick to stock
You need a TouchWiz ROM with stock camera app to get 100% camera quality
Custom ROMs are much more likely to be unstable than stock, but I haven't tried any

I've run a variety of Custom AOSP / AOKP Roms on my S7 - Nougat and Oreo 8.1 - After the latest Samsung Firmware update - I figured that I'd run Stock Rooted for a while - Stock is Definitely more stable than any of the AOSP /AOKP Custom Roms and the Camera is one thing that is constantly being complained about on AOSP / AOKP Roms.... That being said - If you like the idea of Running a Custom Rom & are prepared for some bugs - They can certainly be used as a Daily Driver ??

Hey thanks for the reply guys!
i thought maybe since the device is old someone might have ported a stock quality like camera.
its easy for me to say i guess! im sure its tough. well, i guess i'll install the pixel rootless launcher and keep using this beast! im not much of a heavy user its just whatsapp and instagram chats mostly.
though i'll miss android 8.1. but stability is worth it!
i was thinking how about i install a 8.1 rom+ google camera[ is it stable and better than stock now?]

Nope. If you want camera performance and overall stability, go with touchwiz. 8.1 aosp is in beta rn
Great, I shall wait for a while then
Thank you guys!
Hi , I'm a Galaxy A51 user with 6GB RAM and 128GB Storage. I've been facing alot of lag and freeze and slow animations with Android 11 and the downgrade to Android 10 is no longer possible.
So I'm looking for a stable Custom ROM (Camera , Fingerprints working etc ... ) .
Any suggestions ?
you have a powerhouse.....you should not be facing lag at all so that in itself is weird and yea it could be the os
Custom rom suggestions could be suggestive, why not visit the awesome threads by our devs on here and see which one you like.....thats what xda is about after all.
Your device especially is spoilt for choice with one ui ports and a dev is even planning on android 12 support.
Explore xda....
all in all you asked for suggestions and mine is always lineage os...and i can see your device is supported by the latest lineage 18.1 so unofficial builds are unnecessary but since your device is samsung i would HIGHLY suggest you go for a port (by port i mean those one ui 3.x roms that still give u that samsung look and feel) Lineage strips your samsung completely and i find that to be an injustice cause samsung one ui is quite beautiful and since your device has a port of one ui(unlike mine)....go for it dont go for lineage.
Am a hundred percent sure not all are buggy....and just flash one that catches your eye and give it a spin.
