[Q] Best ROM in your opinion?

Second Post:
Hello all!
Im currently running Liquid Smooth on my g3, its okay, but im looking for to explore more ROMS, my goal is good performace and good benchmarks!
What would you say is the best (most developed) G3 rom so far? Thanks!

Honestly, at this point they are all very much alpha/beta builds. I don't think one is really going to be that far ahead of the others. In fact, I bet most of them are using the same kernel at this point. This will change over time, but it is so early in the development stage that most of the ROMs are basically at the same point in the development cycle. It really comes down to which ROM offers the modifications and options that you are looking for.

At this point i am getting the best battery life from timmytim's CM11. However, liquidsmooth seems to have the most customizations and option so far(including the weird mandatory floating mode for chrome). But, as previously mentioned, these are all very primitive builds, all using the same kernel and all have preety much the same options. Anyway, once some devs get around to making official versions of ROMs for us, we're pretty much stuck with these featureless and underdeveloped builds. Just my two cents.

Im using CloudyG3 1.2 with no issues or mayors bugs so far... And coming from a LG G2 user always using Cloudy's ROMs i must say that are one of the best and solid ROM i had tried.
If you haven't tried it yet its worth giving it a shot.

I was shocked to see how few ROMs there are for such a popular phone. Why is this? On my Note 2, I feel like there were a dozen ROMs within the first 6 months of release, and I never had any lack of them to choose from after that point.
Are people not interested in developing for the G3, is ATT too locked down, or is it just too early?

It's still to early. Although the bump exploit has been know for about 2 months, it has only been about 2 weeks since it was available to developers. So considering we are only about 2 weeks into actually being able to customize and build ROMs/Kernels, we are doing pretty well IMHO.

Oh cool. So I have options on build D85010f right now? Or do you think I should wait?
Loots like root methods are up to 10D

Second post and you choose to use it on a fairly rude question. One of the niceties we afford our developers who work for little or no compensation is not to ask "who is the best". They all have pros and cons depending on your tastes, try a few and see what you like. But don't ask "who is the best" or "what is the ETA". Yeah, the latter one is a CM thing, but it is sound practice.

I'm also using this quite successfully as a daily driver. Maybe a screen redraw every now and again when switching apps but otherwise it's actually working better in many regards than stock.
Battery life is excellent!

@falkon114 root with stumproot bump twrp then flash away

There is no best ROM......... Read XDA rules. Devs don't like discussions about best ROM ...its what fits your needs as a user ... Just fyi

thats what it did for me will tell you to reboot for root once you do it will boot up and reboot on its own then you need to download super user

Sweet, did that. What's the idea behind installing SuperSU afterwards?
Root checker verified root access. Awesome! Time to explore some rom options.

Encryption+Lollipop = slooow! Tip for rooting and fast ROM?

I decided a month ago that encryption of the sd card and the main storage was a good idea since I realised I had all the important stuff on my Z3.
It became a bit slower and a bit more laggy but not that much, it felt like it was worth it.
Then Lollipop came and now the phone is so slow and laggy it almost feels like having the first Z again...!
What the hell is the matter with Android and Sony? It feels Android is becoming worse and worse...
Anyway, since the phone feels like crappaphone from 2010 I gotta do something about it. A couple of questions :
1. Is encryption worth performance-wise on such hardware as the Z3?
2. Is it worth waiting and hope Lollipop will become better or shall I downgrade for a previous official ROM?
3. I usually root my phones and install custom ROMs but the Z3 just seems a pain in ze arse, especially since my Windows 7 computer is dying and I'm trying Windows 10 on it and my other laptop is a Macbook Pro which doesn't work as a rooting OS? Anyway, I can borrow my wife's Window 8 computer to root it but is there a ROM worth running it compared to the original pre-Lollipop? I want speed and slim.
4. There is no stable Ubuntu Touch worth running on the Z3?
Gimme some good suggestions what to do dear XDA peeps

Errr full encryption here and I barely notice the performance difference. But I encrypted on lollipop, where as you did it on kit kat?
Maybe try doing a fresh start with lollipop and encrypt it from there.
Pure stock btw.

don't have performance problems on lollipop z3 encrypted. but encrypted on lollipop. basically got new phone with kitkat, downgraded down to version ". 93" which can be rooted by exploit, rooted, installed recovery, created pre-rooted lollipop rom from stock with SuperSU and XZDualRecovery, flashed that, and removed basically all bloat and other cheap. Then encrypted and very happy. not only is my phone fast, but also last over two days on battery.

Ok, sounds like an idea to make backup of all the stuff and then downgrade and root it
Thanx for he idea!

never regretted it. creating prerooted rom is easy and lollipop gives me better battery performance than kitkat.

Just to give you additional reason and evidence to not to worry, I have benchmarked my Z3 using PCMark Work Benchmark (I trust this one more than any AnTuTu etc.) and it gives score of 4489 while average for Z3 is 3749. This means that debloated Lollipop (installed Xposed with couple modules like GravityBox etc, Amplify, Greenify, CyberShot) gives 19,7% increase in performance while maintaining excellent battery life. It lao means that my device has better performance than average Galaxy Note Edge (octa-core Exynos 7) or even HTC One M9 with Snapdragon 810 (octa-core A57/A53).

Thank you all for the tips! The phone is now rooted and upgraded to 5.02 and it really is fast again I might crypt it again tho, lets hope it stays fast
Time to look up what apps I can kill and clean it up You donnt know some guides for that?

while guys who experimented with debloating made a great job, there maybe some dependencies as stock ROM is largerly undocumented. I am running full stock, just debloated the obvious marketing and thirdparty crap and my phone works fast and battery last long.

That's a good way to go too, i deleted almost all the google stuff because you can redownload them anyways and some sony stuff, and almost googled everything and even if something doesn't work later on, you can always just copy back the apk of those app and clear dalvik cache, i have done that with DS3/4 controller app which i first removed and then later added as a system app.

Brand new G3!

At 1:15 today ill be picking up my new G3 from the AT&T store! incredibly excited!
I have been using the G2 and messing with it for months so i just hope i have the same range of options with this phone, which leads me to ask...
What are some of your favorite things about this phone? what are your favorite roms, mods, theams, tweaks? and lastly, are there any things about this phone i should know about before messing with it too much, like any common issues that will be frustrating?
Thank you all for your time, i look forward to seeing if anyone has any suggestions for me

The most frustrating thing about this phone is that any custom ROM's that are available tend to eat more battery than stock. The absolute best ROM for this phone ATM is the Cloudy G3 ROM which is a stock ROM that is debloated and had a few extra features thrown in. Everything works spectacularly well on this ROM and battery life is phenomenal. But hey, throw on Nova Prime launcher and make it your own, the possibilities are endless. LOL

That's funny, because i found the exact same thing with my G2! I hated every ROM until i used Cloudy G3 and i loved it!
Unfortunately at one point my G2 hard bricked and i kinda blamed it on how many times I've changed ROM'S and recovery's i had tried, and since i was using Cloudy at the time i really felt it was partly because of it. And after i replaced the Mobo i kept it stock but always missed it lol.

Just rooted my LG G3 ATT with avicohh's tool and it was a smooth transaction. I'd like to find just a stock ROM that is already debloated but honestly it's smarter for you to use Titanium and choose what apps you don't want to be a part of your system. If I see a strong response to better battery life on a specific ROM I might flash it but until then it's stock with minor modifications to storage/RAM hogging features. You'll love your G3. It's different to a degree but it's snappy and tough. The default icons for apps is pretty bad which is my only gripe so far and of course button placement forces you to use screen taps to lock/unlock. Make sure your case has a pretty good space between the cutout and your flash/sensor/camera on the back. Tight cuts in that area make the camera less effective due to reflecting or blocking light.

Is this still the best option for optimal battery life on the G3? It's about time I flashed something worthy.

Cloudy is the only ROM I will run on mine until someone else comes out with a stock based ROM that is worthy. I have tried several of hte variants built from CM source, and don't get me wrong, they are very fast, stable and are for the most part daily drivers. But none of the CM variants have the G3 camera and none that I have found have the awesome battery life that I experience with Cloudy.

Yeah I'm sure you won't XD. But for me i used it on my G2 and i customized every little thing to the point where it was exactly the way i like it, and i wish i had that ability with the G3

Why do we have so little?

Is it because the phone is so new, that no one has really developed for this phone? Not a single custom kernel? I still love it, and not *****ing. Literally jw..

Ive been wondering the same. Used Nexus 6, and samsung prior and theres a ton of development going on there.. only good thing i think, is that the updating and flashing new ROMs obsession is calmed. Its nice to run a rom for months and have nothing more to update to lol
A solid kernel would be amazing!!

Lmao I was gonna ask this question but I would come off as rude I had the nexus 6 and Samsung before this also. This section is dry but I work with what I have.

I think the reason is that they are waiting for 6.0.

Because all other variants are bootloader locked therefore cannot have custom kernels. You are now limited to a T-Mobile V10 developer to make a kernel.

There is a kernel in development... So that is in the works... As @KennyG123 said it's the only one with an unlocked bootloader, so it's the only that can even get a custom kernel, LG didn't release kernel source till well after the phone released, and with the niche factor of the phone(second screen ect), it's a hard phone to develop for. There aren't any examples to use, same with the kernel and chipset... To my knowledge only 4 phones use the snapdragon 808, the g4 and moto x pure being the only two besides ours that have any type of development... (blackberry priv is is locked down) also not in our favor is LG hasn't had much in the way of development since the g2 scared a lot of development off. And yes, people are waiting on mm to drop as well, because since it's introduction, it has been coming "any day now" lol. I understand that you all want to make this phone better, and if you look around there are a lot of battery saving tweaks out there currently... I'm getting over 24 hours battery life with 7.5 - 8 hours of screen on time right now. A custom kernel will make that better, but it is not a huge problem right now...

Hey bud,
I have been doing all the tweaks Im reading in regards to battery saving and stuff.. half my alarms on Amplify are basically turning off everything, which is fine. But I don't get near 7-8 hours of SOT. On a good day I get 4-5. Not sure if its the hospital I work at and the constant reception finding the phone does or if it's just the tweaks I have aren't optimal. Im glad I'm getting at least 24 hours of battery with moderate use.

A good signal or WiFi connection definitely is part of that... There's a rural area about an hour east of Cincinnati in do a lot of work in that my signal jumps from edge to 4glte and everything in between all day long, on day I'm out there I'm lucky to get 5sot too.

Wow, I was thinking of ditching this phone too. I did not know samsung was locking their bootloaders. My note 4 was a great phone. I may go to a nexus device. Devs love the nexus line.
Then again, I love my v10. I do not have any issues. I was thinking of ditching due to lack of development. I do understand the issues of the second screen. I also love 264 gigs of memory.
I'll just wait until mm roms become more stable.
LIBERTY or DEATH

Yeah I kinda miss messing with my phone. I used the LG bridge app and upgraded. MM seems smooth to me...just mess having su privileges. But guess a cool ROM is on way. No issues at all now...

Stick with stock or go custom?

Hi everyone, just picked up my Mate 9(MHA-L29 C567) about a few days ago, I love this device already, everything from the build to the software(ROM).
However I am pretty stumped on the fact that the custom rom development lacks for this phone but I see a few ROMs that are debloated n what not, i see that unlocking the BL and flashing is a bit more different than what I dealt with in the past. Mind you I was a flashaholic for all the phones I have owned
My question to everyone here is, is it wise to stick with just the stock ROM or should I go and flash a debloated ROM? Has anyone noticed any differences at all(Battery, SOT, Speed etc)? Rooting and all that can be done but I just dont know if its worth flashing since Ive noticed the ROM dates on these are a bit dated and nothing much has changed

I used to root my phones and use custom ROMs in the past. Matter of fact, at times I flash a different custom ROM every week.
But since I noticed the ambiguity in rooting this phone, the rate at which people where bricking (sometimes need to pay FH to be rescued), lack of development but most importantly, the phone is quite fast and UI isn't too bad, I decided to save myself the headache.

Same here I was heavily into flashing ROMs and rooting my devices not even 24 hrs of ownership, but with me looking up the process of just even rooting the phone really concerns me with the amount of bricks I am seeing, and yes the phone and UI is already top notch
I added a poll for everyone to vote for

I think this thing stock is pretty good. Just got this a few days ago (MHA-L29 C567) and I'm coming from a Note 4. This thing is freaking fast as it is. Any bloat I disabled/uninstalled if it would let me. I to am a total flashaholic, but with this I feel theres no need. As long as Huawei gets some updates going through the pipes I'm happy with this thing!

It should see at least one major upgrade I would think. I mean it's a flagship and just under a year old

Stick with stock

I would flash a custom rom if it was easy just for fun... But I am happy with it

First phone I haven't rooted - there are a few tweaks I'd like, and a few apps I'd like to uninstall, but apart from those minor issues this phone is a gem.
(yet another Note 4 user)

Stick with stock. Root and uninstalling unwanted apps are pretty easy.

I flashed custom rom however I think the stock rom is very good and has better battery life. I flash custom rom just for fun and I like the extra function of KangVip apk.

ok i am flashaholic
unlocked, root, twrp and flashed two roms from here (RomAur and Ephemeral Mate 9) but they ****ed up my M9 (bootloop and lot of other s..t) then back to stock then all again then rebrand, then Firedance rom for L29, then next ver., then next, then rebrand back to L09 then flashed Firedance-MHA-L09C432B194 from other forum and thats a winner
now waiting for next ver.

I was also a flashaholic once upon a time. This is the first device I have not rooted. I feel the stock experience has taken on a new life, things that we used to root for are now becoming part of the stock system. The only thing I wish I could have is a system wide add blocker. I know there are ways to do this without root (and I'm using them) but the root variants are better.
Nevertheless, keep this thing stock, don't root, use the heck out of it and don't think about it. [emoji3]

I'm on C567B190 with TWRP and Root.
Can I flash B230 without losing data and root?

I suppose you can flash it and keep root if you pre root it and package it as a flashable zip. As far as keeping data, I don't think so.

for all those that say that emui is better than........... well..... anything else, thats just wrong. i had this phone for about a week and i sold it asap. i bought it off ebay for a real cheap price. i fixed the cracked screen and found someone at school that wanted it. emui is just bad. its not as bad 4.0 and what not but its still horrible.
its far too modified to be of any use. if huawei just added their own bloat and "optimizations" without the UI crippling it would be okay. as it is one cant add any quick tiles which is horrible. almost all other oems dont cripple android to the same extent as huawei.
sadly the mate 9 has no custom roms and it looks like it will never have them so its not viable choice. i dont see that changing anytime soon.

The first android that I haven't rooted.
I'm using blokada to block ads which is working pretty well but I wish there was a way of deleting some of the stock apps (especially the calendar) or at the very least deactivating them so they didn't come back.

That's exactly what I would be looking to do too, Allan on a C567 (well currently that anyway, rebranded). Let me know if you have any luck doing it.

Well, that's YOUR opinion. A lot of people like it this way.
