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
Hi there,
What is the Most Stable Nexus 5 Nougat (Android 7) Custom ROM?
I try to read the latest post messages, but I don't know.
Thanks
Hey
I've been using Nitrogen OS for the past two months and can tell you that it's a stable ROM.
I've been using Fake Nexus for a while now after going through a few of the available Nougat roms and it's my favourite so far. Comes with Google apps pre-installed plus the new Pixel Launcher, the installation method is similar to flashing a stock image instead of a custom ROM as a zip and an upgrade from Android 6.0.1 worked for me without losing my data, like upgrading a nexus 5x from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0.
Also after experimenting a bit and getting the kernel settings right (I am using the blu.spark kernel) I got Multirom working correctly and I have CM13 and NetHunter as secondary roms, fully functional with their own kernels.
I'm pretty sure all the Android 7.0 roms use the same AOSP repo for the main build and only a small handful of customisations. It's a mater of personal preference really, all roms I tested seemed equally stable and had the same bugs (camera video issue etc). I chose Fake Nexus because it's the closest to a factory image and the only one I got working with Multirom side by side with android 6.
My advice, if your Nexus 5 is your daily driver don't use an android 7 rom as your primary rom, the video recording bug alone can be a pain.
Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback.
The video recording bug is still present in all rom ?
What settings did you use for Blu spark
Try Pure Nexus
As far as I know the Camera bug is there for all ROMS when using the stock Google Camera app. A few ROMS claim that using a different app works but personally I haven't tested them. My nexus 5 is not my main device (I have a 5x as well) so I don't use it's camera that much. Also I believe the original android 7 port came from Santhosh M as found on this rom here so if he manages to resolve this then it will be implemented in all other ROMS.
About the blu.spark kernel I installed with all default choices through the Aroma installer except the addition of DT2W. I'm also using kernel adiutor for in-ROM customisations but so far I didn't need to change anything from the defaults.
I was thinking about installing Pure Nexus as well but now that I finally have all 3 ROMS I wanted working I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up. When I added Miui from this thread it messed up all secondary ROMS. I could boot into the main ROM which for me is Android 7.0 but all secondary ROMs would get stuck on the google screen and after about a minute the phone would reboot and go straight into recovery. I think it had something to do with the Miui kernel but I never actually managed to figure it out.
So it's October 23rd, is the video and Camera bug still present on all ROMs?
I use this https://plus.google.com/109509643115521921407/posts/1R42n7pzfbP
It may look sketchy because it's not on XDA but I've been using it and believe me, everything works including Google Camera's video recording.
Previously I was on Nitrogen OS and I loved it because of the OTA updates but I don't like to have to find workarounds for my camera needs.
I've tested most of Nougat ROMs for N5:
Santosh, FakeNexus, PureNexus, NitrogenOS, BOKROM and itigr.
The only real daily driver as of today, Oct 23th is FakeNexus.
The others are good, lots of customization, but too many bugs here and there.
FakeNexus is stable, very battery friendly (some of the list above had battery drain issues) and is the easiest to install and configure, but lacks the customizations of the others.
Nitrogen is the one if you want a ROM with many features with that stock feeling, customization options are integrated on Android configuration menu.
PureNexus also has lots of customization, but on a different approach, it's more like AOSP and customization features are on their app.
Fake Nexus all the way. I used it for 1 day it is very stable rom. NO FC, noticeable lags, etc.
But I need to go back to MM stock because of the battery. Battery drain too fast average use only can hold for 5-6 hours.

I've tried most of these ROMs on my phone and have settled on Fake Nexus. It is very similar to what the Google Pixel set up is and I just love it. I've found it to be very stable on my phone.

I haven't noticed the battery drain on the Fake Nexus ROM at all. In fact, I'm staying with the Nougat ROM because it doesn't have the battery drain that I was experiencing on any of the Marshmallow ones.

hmm odd. some ppl on fake nexus thread say the same (battery drain). maybe not all experiencing it. will try again when have free time :laugh:
I agree with the Fake Nexus is the most stable one. I do get 3:45min SOT most of the time from 100% down to 1%. I only get 3->3:15 SOT on stock marshmallow. The phone is aggressively used for online gaming via Data using VPN lol
What about the Octo N ROM? So far I've found it to be really good for me with the elemental x kernel, battery life is great, I love my customization options and the ROM is smooth, I typically use lower CPU frequencies max is like 1574 so I don't worry too much about my phone dying. Here's some screenshots of my setup. I'd like to try the fake ROM tho, it's getting really good reviews and I like that.

Fake Nexus doesn't have root option and if you love customization, you will be out of luck.
how about Euclidean OS?
and which roms is odex?
I was just on Fake Nexus, loved the Stock Google feel with all the Pixel gimmicks, but I just went back to Pure Nexus as I love some customization options and want to use Substratum.. Can't stand all the white ui on 7.1 and substratum wasn't working on it yet
I was wondering whether its worth upgrading to nougat . I've already tried using a few of them but reverted due to bugs .
List of roms I've tired
Lineage os (Reverted due to system crash during high performance, Internet connectivity loss , )
Resurrection remix (I was getting only 1hr 30 min of SOT)
Cosmic os (its very new and I found it too buggy )
I've tried clean flashing too but nothing seems to work . I really like the new features but I do not like to sacrifice battery life ,performance.
Should I just stick to Sultan cm 13 or are you guys optimizing your phones in some better way ,please do mention them .Thankyou

Well,for me there is no problem with Nougat.I don't care about xposed,so no issue for me.
Even though a custom kernel can help you with all those issues,I would highly recommend try this,

Currently I'm getting good results with Nitrogen os ,using lightning kernel .Its giving me 5 and about a half hour of SOT will wait more to see how it goes
I was thinking about flashing tuga power but I've been using this guys review as a base before flashing my ROM ,and I felt it was a bit light on features

Yeah, that's because it gives preference to battery life,performance and daily usage more than features. But it has all needed features like magisk+safetynet pass+Viper4Arise and much much more.
Not to mention,it is the most popular rom for OPO.
Give a try yourself rather than just watching lame reviews.
I've used Nitrogen os too,it is nothing but great .
I tried almost all nougat roms, unfortunately, with all the roms I faced duplicate contact issue (whatsapp and google contacts are shown separately in contacts ) and I could not find any solution. Sultan's cm13 is the best ROM for me till now for my usage.
I'm on RR and my SOT is 4+ hours.
I was about to ask the same question. I'm on Sultan's CM13 ROM for a long time now and I was wondering if it is any good going through the hassle of backing up stuff just to get to the newest android version.
I was thinking about SlimRom 7 or idprophecy's LineageOS14.1.

I've tried mostly all 7+ ROMs ,theyr still not up to the mark .Lineage is a good all rounder ,
Resurrection has lots of customizable options but battery life isn't up to the mark (I tried twice was getting about 1hr 30 min sot on 90% charge )
Nitrogen works quite well ,and I found it to work the best for me ,but the frequency of updates is a bit low .You can customise it good enough .
I found cosmic os to be the prettiest of them all but it has a few bugs and the frequency of updates is a bit low
Tuga power also seems to be a good pick
U need to also consider sacrificing your xposed modules if you want the taste of nougat
I suggest you hold of for a month or two and then consider updating
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...
IMHO, sultan's LOS 14.1

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.
Hello all !
I would like to know opinions on different rom. For the moment, I have only tested the Pixel Experience but quickly abandoned it because it was impossible to change the definition, only 1440p ...
I really liked the Paranoid Quartz on my old Mi9T, is it still so good?
I'm mainly looking for something stable, not necessarily thousands of options, just stable, fast and allowing to go to 1080p (and good APN)
Thanks for the answers !
I have been using custom ROMs for 10 years on all kinds of Android phones. This is my first OnePlus (7Pro). The oxygen OS is the first stock ROM I have not customized. For me it works perfectly, and it offers the flexibility that I've only found in custom ROMs, so I have no need or desire to customize. If I may ask, why do you feel it is better to customize? No judgement here, just curious.
Same here, never replaced the stock ROM ever since the OnePlus One. They're doing a great job. Always flashed a custom ROM with any other manufacturer.
Stay stock and enjoy the awesome battery life. If you want to change it up a bit, install the RICE tweaks Rom, xxx NoLimits, and a custom kernel like Smurf.

Awesome battery life ? I've only 6h max sot with 1080p90hz, it's not awesome it's just average. I just have flash Elemental X kernel
I like OOS but i prefer Pixel Experience look, like Settings menu, Gapps...Can switch quickly between light and dark mode, true AOD
I did not understand everything about A / B slots, I have my rom installed on slot B, I can test a new rom on slot A without formatting and lose my current rom right?

then you have other battery drainers, because my battery lasts quite a while. Of course, I don't have many social media crap apps listening. I only have the instagram app and remind - that's it.
Look for the BetterBatteryStats thread, install it, and investigate what drained your battery.
Or, stay with Pixel Experience. Or, get a Pixel
Can i try other rom with A or B slot like multirom ?
I don't know how those slots work either. On my Pixel 2XL I tried that multi rom thing and it didn't work out so I don't do that anymore.
Same here. UI is awesome! I have both pros 7 and 8 best I did cuz I know we all like to play and that's we we're here. Is on the 7pro I went beta and the 8pro I changed the kernel to kirish. 8pro lasts forever and 7pro wonderful to use!
