hello all, I'm not even sure how to post here yet but it says I can ask questions here so... OK so I am running DU official newest release on Shamu with elemental ex kernel and I really wanted to upgrade to nougat but I still wanted to keep DU, but I know the nougat dirty unicorn is only for team members unless I build myself and I am not quite at that level yet. so basically I'm wondering if there is some type of updater for my current system or I would even try a different ROM running nougat if it's anywhere as
badass as DU. so I know this makes no sense, I probably put it on the wrong spot.
Im currently on stock 6.x but my phone is getting pretty full and bugs out sometimes so I think its about time I do a fresh flash.
Is it possible to do a nandroid backup to a NAS server? A 64GB nandroid backup to a already full phone is kind of hard.
Next, I can either go 6.x or 7.x
7's notification style and doze battery life optimizations seems nice. Automatic system updates using another partition also seem good but I imagine that can only be used on Pixel.
6.x I imagine though is more stable.
So which ROM?
I personally like Android nougat more than M. Also, i find it stable enough for daily driver. I have been switching between various Nougat ROMs to find out which i like more. I am finally settled with Cm 14.1 nightlies for now.
RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.0]
Awesome ROM with tons of customization.

Resucrrection is way to bloated/heavy. Im sure our phone can take it but.
Looking for a Marshy? Sultans is your best bet. Simple. Stable. Clean. Reliable.
I tested almost all nougat roms. I'm stuck with legend right now, for me seems the most balanced and without serious bugs.
What about jgcaap's rom? Isn't it any good?
Official Nightly vs Jcaap vs Resurrection Remix, which is the best?
Thank you for threads like this - you can't ask in a particular ROM's thread about other ROMs... I tried the "unofficial" (CAF) 7.1.1 Ressurection Remix and I've had problems with the screen going black, doesn't mean anyone else will. So, I'm also looking for which 7.1.1 ROM to try next and want other's opinions because I just don't have time to try ALL of them myself, full wipe, install all the apps and data again, setup everything... For a day or two then on to the next over and over, but I do try to try at least a few.
The ONLY reason why I don't want 7.1.1 for certain right now is no Xposed for it yet. But, perhaps I can live without Xposed for a while as long as I have: root, adblock, privacy guard, profiles...
I'm thinking to try the "Official" 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix next? Opinions?
I recommend jgcaap's CM14.1. It's been very fast and stable with good battery life for me. He's also busy implementing Sultan's camera blobs, so camera quality is also going to be nice. Try it out for yourself, you won't regret it!
Which nougat ROM has the best battery life and the smartbar/fling navbar features?
I'm not giving up Xposed without that navbar LOL
Oh, didn't remember that Xposed isn't avalaible for 7.x yet.
Forget it. 6.x based ROMs then.
Any other NON CM based recommendations?

I'm having issues finding the ROM that works best for me too. I've had to resort to cm ROMs because I can't find an aosp based MM ROM that has the latest security patches. There's so few of them too . I'm currently on jgcaaps cm13 running lightning caf v50 color. Its pretty stable, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the darn thing bootloops immediately after setting selinux to enforcing. I've always set it to enforcing for security reasons in the past, and had no issues. Jgcaaps cm13 I think has the best camera hal of all the ROMs because its using color os. Not caf, sultan, or cyanogenmod (I don't even know how people consider cm hal usable).
For 7.1.1 I've tried some of the ROMs but they're missing way too many features IMO. The camera hal is one (most are using cm or caf, meh) the only 7.1.1 ROM I know of that possibly has color os hal is jgcaaps cm14. Another thing is xposed. I don't like to give google full permission over my entire system to record and do as they please, therefore I use microg. The only thing is to get micro g working, you need to have a ROM that either supports fake signatures in the developer options (ROM maintainer has to implement this, its not too hard) or an xposed module to force fake signatures. I haven't come across a single ROM here that has micro g support so I'm forced to use xposed. On top of that I use the xprivacy xposed module which is miles better at protecting your privacy than privacy guard or appops.
So yeah personally I think jgcaaps cm13 ROM is the best we have right now for MM roms. All the other MM ROMs haven't been updated with security patches in quite a while from my experience. If you don't use micro g or xposed then I would recommend jgcaaps cm14 for the color os hal, but I havent checked out his ROM in a while. I wish there was still some development on MM for our oneplus one because it seems I'm stuck between choosing discontinued MM ROMs for features + stability or actively maintained ROM with bugs + less features. I've been working on finding out how to merge security patches in to discontinued ROMs because of this. But I don't have much time in my life right now sadly.

danieldmm's TugaPower ROM has microG support out of the box and there's no need to install it as a system app. HAL is still CM but it is updated very frequently (I think it supports delta OTA updates) and has latest security patches too. Had absolutely no bugs for me when I used it last time :good:
I had a previous post looking for nougat ROM's, which basically got a resound silence, making it clear the answer was no.
Are there any highly customised 6.0.1 ROM's for the xt897? and by "highy customised" I mean something like Resurection Remix OR AICP etc etc. I know there are Lineage and Mokee builds, but they are a little too "vanilla" for me. Currently I am running Lineage Xposed to the hilt!:silly:
And by recent i mean in the last month or less. I know there was an AICP build about a year ago (by moonlight), but I was hoping for something more recent; and therefore hopefully a little less buggy.
Anything?
I want to give my phone to my mom. She ain't tech friendly so I'm looking for a very stable ROM for her. Android version doesn't matter also. Should I go back to COS 13.1.2 last stock version of COS for our device opo. Or do you guys recommend any other custom ROM.
Also how is the camera comparison between COS 13.1.2 vs any other custom ROM.

I'd say stock, sultan lineage 14.1, lineage 15. Anything else, maybe, maybe not. I think Carbon is also pretty stable but I'd stick to barebones ROMs as close as possible.
Stock will always be most stable, but custom roms nowadays are generally just as good or better.
I'm on ArrowOS, Android9, but I can also vouch for (sultan) LineageOS 14.1 (nougat) , my previous daily, not a single issue whatsoever, and fast!
Here's Link if ya wanna check it out
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-kernel-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-3-t3626403
I havent Tried 15, but I'm sure it would prob do fine as well.
As for Camera's I always seem to have issues on any rom, the link above to the lineageOS 14.1 boasts custom camera features, so I'm sure it would be fine, honestly I never used it much, I mostly stick with the FB messenger camera app, always seems less blurry, lol

Try the official Resurrection Remix Nougat, been using it without any issues for the past year.
Lineage OS questions before installing
I am looking to install the latest stable Lineage OS, which I believe is 14.1, on my rooted LG G3 D850 running Kitkat.
1) Can I still use and install apps from the play store ?
2) There are a few pre-installed apps from the LG OS that I like, mainly Visual Voicemail and Weather.
Can I somehow use these ?
3) When will Lineage support Android 8 or newer?
4) When a Lineage OS update is available, do I need to go through the complete install process and loose all my data ?
Thanks in advance
Tony

Check out the G3 development forum.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development
Until just recently, I didn't get out of the at&t forums, turns out that there's a lot of stuff going on over there for the d850. I'd known about Fulmics, but it hasn't been updated in about a year.
Hardstyl3r's got a LOT of rom threads. All being actively developed. Firebird also has an actively developed ROMs, crdroid, which I've just started trying out on my wife's old phone. Going to give the Lineage rom a try next.
Head's up though. On the crdroid rom, I'm experiencing an issue with battery drain due to wifi while idle. Hopefully, the problem will be fixed in hardstyl3r's next update which should be coming soon. It's something to do with upstream changes in the Lineage kernel, so I think it affects all Lineage based ROMs.
Good luck.
Lineage 15.1 is stable, by the way. 16 is in testing.
Oh. Your questions:
1. You can use play store.
2. Not sure about using stock apps.
3. 8 is stable. 9 is testing.
4. Pretty sure you can update and keep your data. Dirty flash at worst.
Thanks for the info. Really interesting stuff.
I will pop on over to the G3 development forum you mentioned
