Reflashing; 6.x ROM (which) or 7.x ROM (which)?

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:

ROM for Huawei G620s

I am looking for a stable ROM for my Huawei G620s. Until now sitting on CM12 and CM13 even then it was ok, but needs something better. I tested the official LineageOS and Mokee with android 7 but have numerous bugs. In LineageOS camera is not working and the flashlight, and in Mokee microphone and speaker during the call.
Is there any working rom with android 7 for this phone?
Alternatively, some other stable ROM with long battery life

This gets asked for all devices, all the time. You'll get the same answer everyone else does.
You will have to do like everyone else, try several or even all of the ROMs for your device and decide for yourself which one you prefer, find one that fits YOUR purposes, what someone else thinks is best may not be what is best for YOU.

Best ROM for D6603 (UB)???

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

What is your favorite custom ROM for R5N Whyred?

Hi guys, many users (me too!) have tried many ROMs but it’s very difficult to determine which custom ROM (AOSP Pie 9.0 or MIUI) is the better: ''better'' to me, means the ''more balanced'' in terms of:
1) battery backup
2) stability (a bug-free experience, possibly, but we all know there are always minor bugs even on stock ROMs)
3) performance
4) customization, features (but someone prefer Android stock with no customization)
It usually goes to personal taste, someone prefer MIUI ROMs, someone prefer AOSP Pie 9.0 custom ROMs.
Last week i have tried Havoc 2.0, Havoc 2.0 modded, Arrow OS, Revolution MIUI and Revolution AOSP, PE Extended, Pixel Experience, some are more concerned about stability, other about customization other about performance but... which is the MORE BALANCED that can provide a very smooth experience with some customizations and a good battery backup? Let’s talk and try to do a survey! :fingers-crossed:.
P.S. I don’t consider Oreo 8.1 custom ROMs cause they don’t get updated no more by devs/modders and majority of users prefer Pie 9.0 custom ROMs so this thread is related to AOSP Pie-based ROMs
P.P.S. sorry if my English is bad (I do not use google translator)

For me, I've just tried pixel experience rom, and i am satisfied with it, though I've read that Arrow OS is far better, but still did not try it

1 Hour SOT?!

Aex Pie is dope.. Far smoother than any other pie roms

I love Lineage os 15/16 on all their devices
waiting for RR based on los 16

Havoc bro...
No doubt...

Bootleggers pie.

I am on Syberia official 2.0 now very smooth, this is another awesome work!
I forgot to add this awesome ROM to the poll, sorry guys

I am sorry bro (i am new to this forum).

Arrow OS is best by far, wait for latest upgrade fingerprint patch 25-11 (previous works flawlessly)

Aosp Extended & Liquid Remix
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 5 mediante Tapatalk

What do you think about edge/fullscreen gestures guys? Only Havoc 2.0 has it? I love fullscreen gestures

Liquid Remix

Bootleggers is not the best at the moment, but I'd consider it the one that has the best basis. Just that some relevant features are missing.
Havoc 2 mod is good for those who want all the Google Junk. Does not support microG.
Syberia and Arrow are also tops IMO.

Hey can anyone suggest a 9.0 rom with build in oneplus gestures

Miui ROM is stable.

The best was NitrogenOS but it's not updated since 10 of September
I hope that the dev will update soon

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.
