Hey!
I've been using Nougat for a long time now and I finally want to switch to Oreo. So I've opened a discussion where users can suggest the best Oreo ROM according to their experience and why.
Let's go!

Even I was wondering this. Even the device is 2 years old, I am new to Moto. I need good recommendation for Oreo ROMs.
This is very subjective, and honestly right now i feel all oreo ROMs are at the same level of development. Bugs are common everywhere. The only ROM which can be told to be better than the rest is omni rom since it is the only rom with enforcing seLinux. Otherwise every ROM is at the same level. and it depends on user whether they like Lineage os or RR or XYZ
best , no one is best in custom rom it's depand on your what future you like or dislike so many rom are present for athene like los,rr,du,candy,pe,aex,crdroid etc all are best in his performance and future if you like more customization then go to rr and if you want to stock oreo exprince then definetly los is good and other also present and also smooth
Uhh.....I said your opinion based on your experience. I've heard these answers before man. Everyone says this. But I need you guys to tell me what you guys have been using and why it is good.
I think what CMK wants you to tell is which oreo rom are you guys using for athene and why
AIM Rom Is Best..

Now there's a question about stability and performance that I would like to adress specifically to the 32-bit users.
How would you compare them to 64-bit in terms of smoothness?
I am currently looking for an AOSiP replacement, but many ROMs have suddenly turned their heads to 32-bit, which on Oreo has only given me bad experiences, having tried AIM, Cosmic OS 32-bit, Candy and Omni without managing to even get past the setup wizard because of the lag. Actually, I used Omni in a while but it became so laggy that I could barely unlock the screen or open an app. On Candy ROM I managed to get to the homescreen after 30 minutes, but it was still unusable even after letting it sit for another 30 minutes. 64-bit though was always buttery smooth, but after a while would have RAM problems. So what were your experiences with 32-bit so far?

No idea.....I use RR 64 Bit 6.0.0 ROM
I once flashed 32 bit Omni Rom. It was laggy and the idea of installing gapps terrified me, so I instantly switched

Yah the same thing happens to me in omni ROM and switched back to RR 32bit I wont say its stable but good comparing to 64bit for 2gb variant users ...
I think Lineage 32 bit is more stable than other Oreo ROMs.

Opengapps 32 bit have some pet issues... Around in pico version! Has anyone tried nano version of it?
Also you can disable setup wizard of gapps but typing a command whole in twrp.. It had been mentioned in the aim rom thread! Use the search button, you'll get it.. And use that command to get rid of the setup..
About the lag, i am not sure if the live display is working now on oreo, however, you should turn it off as it causes a lot of lags.. In my personal usage i never found any 32 bit lagging..
I tried lineage, aim rom both.. They would have become better now, as i used them when they were absolutely new... I am sticking to invicta right now as my dad uses the phone now and also camera is still buggy on oreo!
Lineage is total stock and hence good performance... Ram availability.. Aim rom gives a very nice ui.. Along with good customizations.. i think we should stick to 32bit.. Right now.. 64bit still needs a bit of work! But that's just my opinion..

The ram management is better on low ram variants as already known, that's why some rom devs came up again with 32bit versions.
So, I flashed RR 32-bit as AOSiP became buggy, and I must say, I'm impressed. The ROM is as smooth in the 32-bit variant as it was in the 64-bit one, and the bugs are minimal. Wish I knew what the problem that causes lag on Omni is, that way I could use it as my mainly driver, since it's development moves at a faster rate, all thanks to @golden-guy. Really, if it wasn't for him, Oreo ROMs wouldn't be usable as daily drivers.

First, thanks for the kudos. In fact, there's a handful of good guys around here that do a superb job.
Before going OT here, I would like to understand what causes lags for you so that I can address them eventually. Can you come over and explain details in my ROM thread?
I tried Aim ROM and it was good, but there was issues of random power-off. RR also has issues of random reboot which was fixed by the L-Speed mod but that consumed a lot of battery. So I reverted to stock ROM now. Any advice related to Oreo ROMs guys?

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
Hi guys,
I wrote some time ago here for a combo of rom/kernel, but then I understood the battery of my phone was dead, so I decided to change it for an lg g4. I broke the screen of g4 and it's too expensive to fix, so I decided to change the battery of Nexus 5. I know this is a dated phone, but I don't have money for a new phone or to fix the glass, so now I have to use it.
Now I ask you for rom and kernel for daily use. I would prefer something Nougat based. I used PureNexus and ElementalX on Marshmallow, the last PureNexus seems fluid and stable, but unofficial.
What do you suggest for my Nexus 5?
Thank you for all replies.

I too am in the position of having to use my Nexus 5 (6P started boot looping) I am running Lineage OS 14.1 and it is running GREAT!
I use my Nexus 5 for a year now. I tried several roms and kernels and purnexus nougat + elementalx is the perfect combination for me, since it offers the best battery life.
I never had any issues with the rom.
If you turn off gps, sync(especially gmail) and undervolt* the snapdragon 800 and lower the clock a bit( i use 1.7 ghz) you can get about 5 hours of sot!
The phone is still very fast if you dont use slow apps. Even underclocked...
* most nexus 5 work well if you set the lowest value to about 700 and leave the steps up as elementalx sets them
best wishes!
I have found in trying most of the current ROMs that if you want Sprint service you must stay with >6.0 versions. The SIM card read of data on SIM is spotty at best. Some one mentioned it is not "Sticky" will work some times and all the various patches installed at ROM first install don't work...in my case never for reboot after setting up ROM app's and using. My way around this trouble is to use a GSM mvno (FreedomPop) or Tmobile just not good coverage in my local area. I like most of the features of Ver 7.0 + roms
I'm currently running Lineage 14.1 CAF and Noncaf....I like the CAF Battery setting slider for different current/battery drain. The Noncaf can use any Kernel if you like that approach to increase battery Life. In the two N5's one has a new battery and the other old...almost a 3 to 1 difference in longevity so best choice is a aftermarket battery replacement too.
DARK ROM [OMS][Pixel features]
i'm running paranoid android and i find it cool, but however, it's the first ROM i flash on the nexus 5.
i love having the nougat notification system, plus the immersive mode, and battery life is better than stock.
sincerely i don't find useful on the spot control and navigation pie, but that's just something that depends on my usage i guess.
can't understand how to activate floating peek, nor if it's still active in this version
sadly i hoped in something snappier, it looks a little laggy sometimes, doesn't support xposed (causes bootloop) and camera doesn't include HDR+ (installing the google official camera and enabling hdr seems to change nothing, so basically is useless) but many users find paranoid camera fantastic.
i'm trying to understand if there is something faster than this without losing cool features (like notifications), maybe with something based on kitkat/lollipop tweaked?
if someone has suggestions, tell me! btw i'll keep you tuned. still loving nexus 5 and it must survive!

IMO, yes, Lineage OS is a good choice for that. You have to install the Google apps separately, so if you want to be Google-free, you would just not install those. I've been impressed with how well my N5 runs with LOS. Better than with any previous stock version, really. I did keep the Marshmallow camera app, but that was just personal preference. LOS comes with a pretty full-featured camera app of its own.

my rom queue is

if anybody could give some feedback about those, it would be awesome

Theoretically, but I don't think there really are any final builds for LOS (for hammerhead). I kind of want the monthly security patches. I've just kept installing the weekly updates, because I haven't had any problems. There could very well be problems, but I haven't experienced them since installing in...March?...somewhere around then.
BTW, running crdroid right now and it's holy fast, even better than stock, you should definitely give it a try. Wanted to run the caf version to flash also the truesight, but it needed custom bootloader and radio, and I'm still too noob for this.
Right now evaluating flashing the ElementalX, that should work on aosp to get also the fastcharge
If you just flashed the rom, it's usually faster than a rom that you've used for months. The rom shouldnt have too much influence on the speed, the kernel and the cpu governor it uses have the biggest influence. Usually speed comes at the cost of battery life which can have dramatic results on this phone. On caf i could use the charger 2-3 times per day...
I suggest AOSP 7.1.2 + OpenGapps + ElementalX, it's much faster than official Marshmallow, with Magisk you can bypass SafetyNet check and use Android Pay.
Also you can replace the battery with 525666, it's 3020mAh
And you can replace the NAND to 64G
I've tried to enlarge RAM to 3G or 4G, but failed...
The replacement can be done easily only if you're in China, so...

Because in China you can simply send your phone to any of the maintainers and let them do the work, they can do anything...

I have found the guide for the battery, but cannot translate it in a decent way via translate
Anyway, could you link them? Are them proven to work?
I would like to upgrade my Nexus to the new android Oreo - 8.0+ but im using it as my daily driver so i want to get a good stable rom with everything working, what rom would you guys recommend ?
Good question. These roms are really hard to evaluate unless each of is willing to spend the time to download, flash, and test every rom. Even then, we need non-subjective tests to be certain.
Go for Lineage OS 15. It can be used as a daily driver because I've been using it myself for about a week now and i didn't find any lag and u wont be disappointed either
To add further i got 55019 on Antutu Benchmark and on Geek Bench 4 i got Single Core : 1046 , Multi-Core : 2606
I get about 2 and half hours of On screen time with 12-14 hours of usage .
I'm using LineageOS 15 Unofficial by tdukazudon (OpenGAPPs Nano and Magisk 14.5), initially it was very slow and laggy, it settle down now, working good, it's not as smooth as some custom Nougat builds. Anyone on AOSiP or any other Oreo ROM who also tried this LineageOS, please share your opinion, how you compare both ROMs?

Apart from Lineage OS 15 i have used Validus OS and Xperience Roms Both Oreo.
Comparing them i can say that Lineage OS 15 is the best then In terms of perfomance and has good battery life
Validus OS is good in terms of performance but to me the battery life was not so good cox i was able to get only 2 hours of on screen time that too with very light usage. Xperience rom was somewhat laggy to me but had best battery life among the three. I got 3 hours 5 mins of SOT with battery down from 100% to 1%.
Validus OS is the ROM that the most customization options at this time . Can't say much about the AICP ROM though.
To me Lineage OS 15 is the best because obviously its a Lineage OS ROM and no other can beat its performance and secondly because it doesn't compromise much at battery for performance . 2 and half hours SOT with the best performance u can get on the latest version of android. I think that's totally acceptable.

Yesterday I flashed AOSiP 20171203 build, GAPPs Nano and Magisk 14.5, replaced launcher with latest Pixel Launcher, feels like its smoother than LineageOS, pretty stable too, not a single reboot or hang, don't care much about battery and SOT so don't know how good is it at that.
AOSiP 20171203
AOSiP 20171203 is very nice in terms of stability. However, the bluetooth bug currently exists in all Android Oreo ROMs including this one.
The bug that I'm talking about is basically where if you are on a call over bluetooth headsets, there will be a lot of noise in the background and you and the other person will hardly be able to hear each other.

Yeah i've been running AOSiP for a few days and it seems pretty nice.
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.

I haven't found an Oreo ROM for 4C that equals a Nougat ROM ( for example, AEX or RR) in terms of speed and lagness.

Do you have those videos? I'm curious (pm me if you cant post them here).
Tried with 1.5b hate kernel...laggines is still present.
Cdroid maintener Vovan77 will not support this Rom anymore.
Now I am on RR and there is less lags but it is present.

Thanks, man, I got your link
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.

Hello. Vovan77 has updated to Pie and it looks great. It's snappy at first look but multitasking has lag and battery life is terrible pls fix
First build > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603894192
edit: unless my battery is shot, gone. I don't know I'm getting terrible battery life.
edit: I have ordered a replacement battery it looks like mine is gone. I will update here after fitting it into the phone.

Hi Gourcuff14.
I have tried to run this rom, but it hangs on "G" logo (longer than half an hour). Installation was without error (but first I had to avoid error 7).
What version of TWRP are You using?

Hello 1q1q. I've been using
TWRP 3.2.3-0_libra.img

Try updating firmware if you are still on an old one but that generally shows up during install.

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.
