Slow device. Which custom rom install? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a nexus 5 all original, stock rom, the way I bought it.
But the same is very slow, I would be willing to install a custom rom...
There are several types ... CYANOGEM CAF / AOSP, Revolution remix, fake rom, and others ...
What is a good and stable rom? How do I install this? Thank you very much.

Pure Nexus + blu_spark kernel is a great combo for battery life.
Dark ROM is also pretty good along with NitrogenOS.

Dirty Unicorns. Find them on Google+

The phone may just need a factory reset to speed things up.

[Q] Cleanest Moto G AOSP ROM?

Hello, everyone!
Right now I'm running Tweaky One ROM without practically any mods, because I prefer to use the Xposed Framework to personalize my Android.
Now, I would really, really like to try the kernels available. But most of them are made only for AOSP ROMs. But I don't want to run CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android or any other modified AOSP ROM. I like Tweaky One ROM because how clean it is, but it based on stock ROM.
So, is there are a "clean" AOSP ROM for our Moto G?
Thanks for your help!
Honestly, CyanogenMod is cleaner than the stock ROM. Also, CM+ART runtime= Win. (Art breaks xposed though)
Obviously the Google Play Edition variant of stock firmware IS and always will be the cleanest
Thanks for the answers!
I like CM, but I really want to use some of the features on Gravity Box. And because both it and CM have features that overlap, I think it will be having more than I want on my cellphone.
And the strange thing with GPE is that the custom kernels won't work with it, as it seems to count as a "stock" ROM rather than a "AOSP" ROM.
Any other suggestions?
You could use Faux123 kernel on stock

I've tried a lot of different custom roms and always come back to the stock with a custom kernel, it is the best imo

Looking for stable ROM

Hello fine gentlemen, it's been a good ride. As a complete noob i remember i started this whole rooting thing around 5 months ago when i was absolutely desperate because of the touch issues by this phone, that's when the new kernel arrived with the infamous 20150515 cm12.1 nightly and i finally was able to enjoy my OPO on it's full glory again. But now after these months of flashing nightly after nightly i'm just tired, tired of random bugs, reboots, tints, etc., which obviously don't diminish the amazing rom that this is and are things that i acknowledge come naturally with nightly releases (to point out i'm not complaining at all). I just want to flash something stable so i don't have to worry about these minor things even if i miss new fresh features, so this lead to these couple of questions that i would appreciate any of you can help me with:
1. what is the best latest stable rom for OPO right now ? be it CM, COS, Oxygen, etc whatever i don't care, i only care that it is stable and come with the touch fix kernel
2. or should i wait for a marshmallow stable rom ? (i've read marshmallow is way more polished than lollipop, smoother and consumes less battery)
3. what (extra) steps should i take to flash the suggested rom ? is it as simple as i have been doing with the nightlies (just download zip, reboot in recovery, flash zip, clear cache and reboot again) ?
thanks in advance for the help people !!
Sultan's CM12.1.
I'm using EXODUS , very stable and a lot of different features.
Exodus here too. Sultians is very nice too.
Using Sultan's cm 12.1. Runs smoothly and almost bug free in my opo
Sultan's CM12.1 or ResurrectionRemix
Stock SlimSaber or Slimsaber caf. Check out the slimsaber threads for flashing details.

Advice for new Rom (XT1039 Peregrine)

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.

ROM with good battery Backup

can anyone suggest the best rom for yunique which has quite good battery backup.
Waiting for your reply thanks
i have tried quite a few roms like halogen latest, RR, Carbon but all of them does not meets my expectations.
even in some of them it's impossible to play games they lags like hell and phone hangs up.
then what about Lineage official/unofficial, Vipre, AOSPExtended, Slim ROM and AOSParadox?
Did you tried them all????
Miui7
Tried viper?
Best ROM for Yunique
If you are searching for the best ROM with good battery life. Then go to ViperOS ROM, AOSP and Resurrection Remix ROM's. These all are the best roms with better battery backup.

it is a good rom

i flashed the snap camera from other roms too but it starts giving errors
Not possible
no custom rom available for yunique so good as official stock rom 5.1.... all tried by me even Remix, AOSP, Viper, Cost,Lineage... all has same issue Very high charging time and very low battery backup.... Yes the official YUOS marshmallow has great battery backup...but we know that it is not stable...even they are saying its stable... but if you restart your phone it showing optimizing apps every time and this never ends... So I am again at STOCK ROM 5.1 now....Waiting if any developer make good battery backup Custom Rom like Stock Rom.... Even flashing with other kernel not works...
Try lineage os 15 it will meet your expectations
Itswith volte and a quite good battery backup which i never found in any nougat roms plus has a ultimate performance

Choosing the right rom

Hey guys, i hope it's okay to write the question here.
So basically in a couple of days my 360h period ends and i can finally unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
My problem is, its been a while since i used something else as lineageos, and to make it even harder the note 6 pro has this notch (which seems to be a problem for some roms?)
So my question is quiet simple... which rom should i use for best performance and no notch issues?
should i stay with a MIUI rom and try to debloat the stuff like the "whatsapp cleaner"? (i never used Whatsapp for example), just install lineage os (and hope there is no notch issue) or should i go for a project treble rom, where my biggest issue is: what exactly is the huge difference between the usual roms and a project treble rom?
Each rom (official or not) has pros and cons, and each user has individual taste so....
I tried official and beta from MIUI, official and beta from xiaomi.eu, lineageOS 15, Pixel Experience, Havoc OS v2.1 and SuperiorOS
For now I'm using Bootleggers. I like it, but maybe you won't....

Can u plz suggest me best ROM for battery back up for my note 6 pro(tulip) thanks in advance
I tried AEX, crDroid and RR.
AEX is by far the worst. Display doesn't look good and device is slow.
RR has some issues, specially with the notch, battery and performance. Apps freeze a lot.
crDroid is the best. Great performance, great battery life and good notch compatibility.

according to me eu roms for note 6 pro have the best battery backup, they dont come with all the useless gapps like google play book etc so i suggest give eu roms a try. moreover remember customization and battery backup are inversely proportional.
hit thanks :good:

is CrDroid still the best custom rom for n6p? How about SOT, overall performance,... on CrDroid and other roms? Is it worth to switch from stock miui 10 to any of these custom roms? On miui i've 1-2 days of usage at 6-7h SOT....
At the moment, there are a couple choices in terms of roms. At this point there is not really a "perfect" or amazing rom available for this device just yet. I have been testing the "official" and "unofficial" roms and they are decent but they have a long way to go until I would consider using them on a day to day basis. A lot of them have bugs which is a given, considering how relatively new this device is. It would be great to see official support for roms such as Paranoid Android, Lineage OS and Resurrection Remix. But this will take time like everything. If we look at the recovery side of things, we are still trying to get an official recovery which will be essential. From what I have seen TWRP by ATG Droid is probably the 'closest' recovery we have to something the same stability and features seen from an "official" recovery. Take what I have said with a grain of salt, pretty much all of this is opinionated if you did not get the memo.
