Most Stable Nexus 5 Nougat (Android 7) Custom ROM?

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

[Q] Why is my N5 so slow ?

I can't really put my finger in the cause, it seems to follow all N roms (though most are based on LOS, so..)
Sometimes the device crawls to a standstill, until i'm able to close all open apps, and then it gets snappy again.
I would consider this device at least as fast as my M7, but although the One is slower in general than the N5, it never gets slower...
I don't have weird apps installed, the most crazy ones are the Facebook messenger and chrome, the rest is google apps and whatsapp...

mine is showing same behaviour since a few days ago, ive enabled sync and enabled cm email, others things ive done is installing tumblr, i think some apps that works on 2nd plane arent managed well with ram autokill and somewhat with persistent services.
ill clean flash and disable sync forever [emoji14]
other thing ive noticed is other storage is permanent oversized and the phone cant really know whar is this
Pure CAF @ crLOS14.1

Is it insanely hot when it slows down? If that's the case it's overheating for some reason.

I used to have that problem last year. I kind of fixed it after I formated the memory while I was trying to have F2FS. I knew i'd lost everything in the memory so I did a backup and trough TWRP changed the partition to F2FS and it helped a lot. A friend's tab had the same problem and he fixed it that way

Or maybe it went out of memory? Although I doubt it. One thing that comes to mind is mpdecision, sometimes it shuts down all cores except 0 and won't switch them back online, forcing you to do it manually or somehow wake it up. Have you tried keeping tabs on your cores with a monitor app? Anything mpdecision-rated in logcat when the crawls happen?

I was on Catacalysm until nougat, which can be considered stock. didn't have speed issues then.
when I flashed nougat all 3 roms i flashed had annoying lag which was not acceptable.
eventually me and other users discovered it was happening because of the memory filling up.
apparently the phone needs quite a bit of free memory to work well. tweaking memory management through kernel editor solved it for me.
I can't tell for sure if that's your issue but u can give it a try.

What I do is that I clean flash about every six months, generally upgrading to a higher version of android (stopped after 6.0.1 tho cuz of xposed), after backing my media. Once I restore that after the flash, I always have more space available than pre flash and it feels a lot faster. Might be a placebo, might not. But is it stupid if it works?

Your findings are consistent with mine, it seems the device is running out of memory and is trying to swap out heavy apps to make do, namely chrome and facebook. While it's doing that, it's slow as hell. I've also had launcher re-start, like if the OOM had it killed.
Which settings did you tweak ? LowMemoryKiller ?

Yep, LMK set to exterminate.
I wonder what the original configuration was, not only for LMK but also CPU gov etc, Because honestly I think that even after tweaks it was still better on stock.
In general nougat doesn't really add much for me, M was great, I was in a hurry to upgrade because I had play services battery drain bug on M. That was terrible.
Also I noticed mine is thermal throttling really quickly, I don't know if its normal or not. I've been thinking about improving cooling with a mod but at this point my N5 is on its way out. In november I'll close 4 years with it and I'll get a new device (maybe 1+5?)

Memory issue

It's all because of memory,
3/4 cores are going offline and online regularly, but sometimes​ cores won't go online which create frizzing untill cores get online,
For solution you should be first root then install kernel editor you like and edit core to performance or high performance,
That solved my problems.

What gapps are you using? Using pico or Beans mini will let you put most of your Google apps on the user partition and not the system partition. You could also try an AOSP based ROM instead of a LOS based ROM like Krexus, Pure Nexus or Tesla

I tried PureNexus, but it hasn't been update recently. I also suspect of a bug in LOS, since it seems to follow all roms, no matter the builder or kernel.

Using small gapps packages frees up space in /system, I never use full gapps packages on my Nexus 5 and I've never experienced this slow down you're having.
Pure Nexus just updated on May 13th, Tesla updated today. If you choose to flash one of them, be sure to wipe system in advanced wipe as well as data and caches before flashing

Tesla

I don't think the suggestions in the last few comments will help. I'm pretty sure it's mainly a memory management settings issue.
if you want here's my profile in synapse (kernel settings editor you can find on google play). I'm currently testing it for a few days and it seems good so far but I still need to test it under really heavy load.
I'm running nitrogenOS with the kernel that comes with it. if you run something else you may have to tweak it a little.

New life for my old Nexus5

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!

I'm new to using anything but stock. My rooted nexus 5 marshmallow runs fine with a new battery and several xposed modules but I would like to escape from Google surveillance. Is lineage a good choice for that? Do I just download it and flash it through twrp? Are there instructions on how to flash and use Lineage?
What rom is best for privacy?
Thanks.

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.

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...

Discussion : Most stable oreo ROM right now

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..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-aim-rom-v3-1-t3743641

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?

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?

corlatemanuel said:
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?

Ok, I'll give it a try then. Btw, is it 32 or 64-bit?

Android Pie GSI

So, there has been released an A/B Partition supporting Pie GSI.
Anyone has installed it yet?
Bug list shows NFC, Hotspot and Android 9 Vendor.
What does the last one mean I have no idea. Some discussion would shed some light here.

I will try to install it today after returning home

Does anybody has installed the Pie GSI? How is it?

I has installed it but got no network , wifi and stuck on second reboot now to back to OOS

I wrote a little guide on Phh's thread on how to get networking, wifi and root to work. However, I would still stay away from it for now as it is extremely buggy.

But people says that HOS is very good in battery, the camera is worse than OOS camera

I am right now using Pixel Experience as daily driver. Unfortunately no magisk, hotspot, nfc, volte.

I've never seen a 10 hr SOT in other Rom. HOS is amazing!

Could you tell me what do you like/dislike in the ROM? Now that you're using do you recommend the ROM or what?

It's good for a daily driver, bro.
An issue is that I got frequent Volte drops which gets okay with a reboot.
And recent thumbnail corresponds to a different screen rather than The one which I have currently( I have no idea if you understood what I told)
Cons : no modifications yet I think, magisk modules , better mods and different kernel aren't readily there for P afaik.
That's the only thing I don't like about this.
Pros : substratum is working
Very stable and consistent battery life. (idk how it manages to give 8 hrs every single time)
And has every Android P features asusual ..
Peace?

The camera is better, equal or worse than the OOS? As far as I know the GCamera isn't working on HOS
"And recent thumbnail corresponds to a different screen rather than The one which I have currently( I have no idea if you understood what I told)" I don't understand this

Maybe I'll try Gcam and let you know If it works.
Do you see the difference between the screens? (I'm typing a comment whereas the recent shows that I'm in the menu)
Hope you can understand this.
PS : I can't live without AOD., so planning to flash the 5.1.11 ?.

I'm on HOS beta 2 too. Yes battery is really not bad when U use device, but on standby its draining a bit too much, I cant reach 8 hours SOT with more then 1 day after charge. But I can reach 8 hours SOT if im using the device constantly.
On OOS i had always 8-9hours of SOT, and 36 hours after charge.. but on OOS I was using elementaX kernel.
Plus hydrogen still in beta so it possible that they going to fix stanby battery a bit.
It dont have all the features of Pie. There is no:
1. App slices/app action
2. Feature when u can share images or copy text via app swicher (recent menu)

I think the second feature is only for pixel devices if I'm not wrong. I had a pixel and it had that feature in the first beta itself. And I did read somehwer that it's exclusive to pixels
Maybe you are right about the standby time. I've never let my phone pass 24 hours mark.

Maybe i am to stupid to flash any pie gsi. I tried many ways, and always end up in a bootloop or in the crashdump mode.
And yes both guides here in the op6 forum.
Tried all gsi out a/b partition. Tried without wiping data (one time worked but acore fc every ms)
So how does someone get it boot without a problem?

It would be a shame then if it only for pixel devices..
But here is possibility that oneplus didn't implemented yet this feature. I hope so
