Dont kill me but...S7 Edge Exynos with MM might be the best phone for a while

So I been following the Pixel and Pixel XL forum for a while now, it seems like xposed and rom developement is either slow or in the case of xposed framework none existence. I think the S7 edge under Marshmallow will be the best phone with the best android firmware for a while... so to those who would want to update to the latest and greatest, realized that xposed might not even reach Samsung Nougat for a long time.
The next best thing I found was the Oneplus 3t which have MM out of the box, however you can opt for installation of Nougat if you like. CM13 is still available and there are dev for it. other than that, I dont see any other phone beating the S7 edge Exynos version.

Have to disagree. Running Nought on a freshly reset phone was the best move for me. Very snappy. I recommend the upgrade.

I have! I've tried both vanilla, and a custom rom with all the trimmings.

Agree i went back to mm after 3 months of N since beta, yes N is a bit snappier but for the cost of bad battery life, mm is still fast and remember s7 edge has a fast hardware so its very unlikely to face lags etc.
Mm is fast reliable and xposed is ready to be used !

If Xposed it holding you back, you should rethink the advantages. GraceUI is prettier and has a lot of nifty little additions, Android N itself has some and overall its snappier.
I used to be an Xposed hog. But I could find alternatives for pretty much everything. I miss Gravitybox-level customisations but, solid custom roms such as Renovate make up for it! For Snapprefs, I use Casper, adblock by Adaway, etc..

From testing multiple ROMs
Marshmallow - Best standby time, most editable
Nougat - Worse battery life, smoother (not necessarily faster).

WIll you Google account not be banned when using Casper?
I love snapprefs, not because of the saving/uploading/filter features, but mostly beacuse blocking preload and background loading of stories etc, Snapchat is a real battery hogger and has taken the wrong direction.
I also wanna update to N, but some of the xposed features are holding me back
Snapprefs
Youtube background play
AppsOpsXposed
Greenify
MinMinGuard
Rootcloack
Xtouchwiz
I need the rootcloack for my banking apps, can not login without root.
Are there any options?

there are xposed modules that could save you money, someone in here already listed it, so I wont mention it again, trying to keep it discrete so it could last a while. Grace UI is also on the Note 7 rom, which i am running from Rennovate, so I am not missing anything.

Casper can be used with a new Google account. It hasn't banned me for anything so far. But make sure you don't login to Casper. Use it as a root session. This means you still need Snapchat to be installed. Plus Casper doesn't support chat function yet... So you can't completely replace Snapchat either.
YouTube background play can be done via a cracked apk. I think OGtube? Honestly not sure about this.
Appops is not something I've used, but Android 7 allows you to modify permissions and I use a firewall AFwall+.
Greenify works completely fine without Xposed. I've been very happy with it.
Minmin.. AdAway does the job for me very well.
Rootcloack is similar to Magisk. You can get past safety net with it.
Xtouchwiz has no equivalent but there are many customizations baked into the ROM I use-Renovate. And I think Superman ROM has equally or more.
I'm sure others will have more alternatives!

Nougat on s7 edge really transforms the phone in all aspects. The UI is prettier, snapier, smoother, with more options. The whole experience of using the phone is improved by 100%.
As regards battery life, at least my Exynos variant, is much much better when it comes to battery. The doze mode works better, and in general I get fantastic SoT.
Maybe nougat is optimized currently for the Exynos processor...? and maybe in some further updates the nougat firmware will be improved for the SnapDragon variant models ?

I know it doesn't help at all saying it, but with Nougat I have significantly more battery life. I'm talking 1 to 2+ hours more! The other day I was watching a YouTube playlist after work and fell asleep. I woke up the next day to the phone still playing videos. Battery was at 2% and I had 10h and 6m of SoT. I have 100+ apps installed. Not rooted.

No, none at all. My only explanation would that I don't use social media apps, except for the occasional tweet and some lurking on G+ and Reddit.

I never had problems get "hacked" either. But it is a fact that your rooted phone (and definitely with Xposed Framework) are more prone to attacks and other kind of malicious things, while bugs also happen far more. It's not even a debate you can have, as it's a well-known fact in the Android universe, which is also the reason many devs don't recommend or support it on their rom. The logcat is filled bugs, even though you don't see them, they're there and both slow down phone, drain battery and cause other problems and now or then bugs will happens that will be irritating like apps crashs.
We could just as well argue for the earth being round or flat, where you were on the flat side.

IF the XZs which is basically XZ is going to be released with 7.1 on April (5th?) then positive side of me would say that 7.1 for XZ also comes then.
Negative side predicts May 2017

Ok so I'm waiting for improved battery and camera

Mine is not laggy on 39.2.A.0.442 firmware. Yes, it was laggy first day (that is yesterday) but now it is OK.
Use XPERIA Keyboard. I don't have problems with autocorrect.

Thanks guys. I'll wait for Existenz version of the new FW. I hope it is faster

Nope not at all for me, it seems they're just pushing security updates, I see no improvements in speed, battery or smoothness since i bought the phone. Especially the phone log lag needs to be fixed, I mean how hard can it be? its exactly the same as the google app which runs very smooth on my Z3!

MiA1 The best phone Ever Made !

Some incredible features of MiA1 :
1. 5sec super fast finger print scanner
2. Best Low Light camera
3. Best signal range
4. Best video recording camera
5. Fastest software developments
6. Amazing inbuilt FM Radio
7. No app crashing
If you guy's know any other features of MiA1 comment it...

nice trolling attempt.

Just bought it yesterday. Coming from an axon 7. So far its okay, but i honestly think that the camera is mediocre at best. Im worried about battery life too.

1. Very funny, fingerprint sensor is quite good, november update did some bug but im sure they will fix it next version
2. Using google camera it's on par to all other cameras more or less, using native camera I agree, quite horrible
3. No signal issues, in fact its better then my g3
4. Video is bad, i agree
5. Software actually is much faster then most other devices, and is pretty close to nexus releases, I work with almost the entire pixel/nexus series so I know. only reason oreo isn't out yet is because they already launched with Nougat and it takes time to develop a new build. remember that Google work for months on builds for their devices, if Xiaomi released it too quickly everyone here would whine what a terrible company Xiaomi is for releasing such a bug filled update. I'm sure android P will be out much faster
6. Who still uses FM radio? anyway install Spirit2 and it works fine
7. No app crashes here... if you have app crashes 99% of the time it's your apps fault unless its a system app crash
Nice trolling attempt as others have said.. for $200 it's def the best of it's category bar none

There is no FM radio

I have this device with November update, everything fine BUT, I have a big problem: all apps like feedly, Instagram, telegram etc get new start during using the app (not phone, just app), so all new messages shown as read.
After factory reset still the same problem. Any idea?

How do you use the FM radio in this phone?

I don't understand your intention. Before buying a device, read reviews, reviews and reviews!
BTW:
1. 5ms on my A1
2. It could be better indeed. Use other camera app, like Footej camera, Google or Snapdragon camera
3. Perfect here, nothing but perfect
4. Not pretty with stock camera app, try Footej
5. Why, where is the problem? The security patch level is from 6th November, the latest build from 18. November. And do you think with Oreo your device will turn to gold. It is nothing special about Oreo. Have tested it on several devices.
6. Where you have read, there is a in-built FM radio? And who need an FM radio these days
7. I have my device exactly 7 days: rooted with magisk, installed a Firewall, Adblocker Viper4Android, Substratum and lot of mods. Not a single crash or reboot. Absolutely nothing. 2 days with one battery charge, 9 hours SOT.
I had never a better device for 200 €/$ and I can imagine what will happen once the kernel sources have been released.
If you're not satisfied with your tissot, you can sale it to me. And be happy without the best phone ever made!
Cheers!

i can agree with some of the other comments but 9 hours sot?? Unless they shipped you a Mi A1 with redmi note 4's battery inside i think that is ridiculous. Or probably you use your phone like a nokia 3310 without any 3rd party app installed otherwise its simply not possible..

Yes, of course. No gapps (all frozen), no FB, no WA, no Insta or Snap. Greenify used, adaptive brightness is off. That's it.

No wonder.. i dont think that you should quote that SOT coz that's not a normal usage by any means... Any person who is yet undecided on whether to get this device or not might just read that and decide its the average SOT for this device and buy it only to later realise that its false/achieved with heavy modding and not using most popular social media apps..
And yes, also since you don't use any apps that are known to cause FCs on this device that is the reason that you are not facing these crashes.. coz lots of people including me are facing multiple systemui crashes everyday..

I get around 6 hours of sot and am a pretty heavy user, I use all gapps , however I have created a lighter CPU govener settings to prevent the CPU from jumping so quickly to 2000mhz, seems to work quite well.. using adaptive brightness

Oh cool! i get a similar SOT without greenify or tweaking the kernel but yeah 6 hours is the max i have got.. i have seen 7 hours and a lil more that some people are getting but 9 hours is something that is very tough to achieve with normal usage imho...
BTW i am so happy u got this device and am eagerly waiting for xiaomi to release the sources so that great devs like u can help get full potential out of the device! I had to wait for more than an year for redmi 2 sources.. i hope this time it does not take that long
Also i used the lightening blade turnables for ex kernel in my G4+ to control heat issue and it worked splendidly! it did something similar making sure that the cpu sticks to lower frequencies.. Hearing this makes me pretty confident that we will have some great development for our device in future

No problem, everything is fine. I am just wondering about all this issues posted by lot of guys here or in the MIUI forum. I have really faced none of this. Maybe it is because I have frozen all gapps and I don't use social media. I am enjoying a fast, smooth and reliable device with an awesome sound, excellent GPS. Also, I have a steady and fast mobile connection. I am using the 7.11.18 build, rooted and installed TWRP of course.

No, that can't be the reason. I have not frozen any apps and I use social media (FB, WhatsApp, Instagram etc.) without any issues whatsoever. My Mobile connection is fast and steady, I don't have any force closes, my sound is also excellent (no hissing on the 3.5mm audio jack as some people reported) but I am also not using any "performance booster" tools to free up RAM or reduce power usage. I don't trust those tools.

CrDroid Oreo version for Mi4c

How is your opinion about this ROM.
It is very good and customizable with a ton of options.
Only thing that is boring sometimes is lag when open apps. Waiting for 4-5 seconds to.open it.
Does someone know how to avoid that lag?

You can try to install the hate kernel, because their cpu scheduling is different, it may improve your experience.

But messing in the Settings, menus and that kind of stuff on a fresh installation seems to me the same as in Nougat. On my phone, lag appears in crDroid O (and all the Oreo builds) when I'm switching and reloading apps, with many apps installed and many processes running in the background. In this situation (regular use, not setting up the phone) I feel Nougat is better than Oreo.

Well, I'm not really complaining about Oreo, I know it was a hard work for its developers and builders and all the enthusiastic guys involved. The real accomplish was to be able to install and use Oreo for Mi 4C, almost bug-free. There are many alternatives to Oreo for Mi4C, even now, when devs are leaving its boat for other devices. MIUI 10 it's on its way, but LOS 14.1 is still developing - great work!
Personally, I'm using latest AEX Nougat and I'm happy.

Hi Gourcuff 14.
Thanks for yours tips. It was necessary to wipe also data (internal storage) to avoid bootloop. All apps, contacts restored.
I'm giving up - no dialer during incoming call.

LineageOS ftw
I use LineageOS found here for some half a year without any issues as a daily driver.
The only two things that i found missing are no vibration and the fact i can not find a way to activate Camera2API, so i can not use Gcam mods. But these are not really an issue tbh.

I'm seriously thinking to go and try some custom roms hoping for better batterylife. I barely get 5h of sot with stock rom. And I don't even game at all. Only chrome or brave browsing, facebook, instagram and youtube vanced. I get solid 4G connection all the time. And at home I'm connected to wifi. Screen on half brightness, 90hz and fhd. I really don't see a difference on battery draining with any resolution. All apps but messaging apps are optimised. After the android 10 ota upgrade I have once did a full factory reset even. But that didn't help at all.
Even tho any of my country's banking apps wont work after rooting, I'm willing to sacrifice that for better batterylife.

There's a new 10.0.2 update now that promises to have a better battery standby..
