What ROM should I use? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I currently use stock/vanilla AOSP 6.0.1 rooted.
Should I go to 8.1 or 9? Preferably AOSP as well, with Magisk this time around. Will the OS lag on old hardware?
Do they still release drivers (GPU, WiFi, BT) for such an old SoC (Snapdragon 800)?

Do you Bluetooth often ?
If yes nougat or below Rom's are for you
Aokp 7.1.2 is very stable no bugs
There are annoying Bluetooth issues on all Oreo and pie ROMs
If no go unlegacy android 9.0 is up to date and stable and fast

Thanks for the response!
What's the cause of the Bluetooth bug? Old driver mismatch?

[Q] Will the Nexus 5 get Android 6.1 or CM 13.1?

I see some Android devices already have Android 6.1 but it seems the Nexus 5 is still only coming with 6.0.1. Will the Nexus 5 still get official updates to 6.1 this summer? Or is the device getting closer to "End of Life"?
Also, my girlfriend has a Oneplus 1 which recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod 13.1, I suppose which is based on Android 6.1. However, I can't find any 13.1 snapshots, not even nightlies for the Hammerhead on the Cyanogenmod project page: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hammerhead
Is it too early to ask for CM 13.1? What about Android 6.1? Does anyone have any information or ideas about that?
Where did you see an official Android 6.1???
There's no official CM nightly called CM13.1 for bacon: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon

Its not Cyanogenmod 13.1, but stock rom CyanogenOS 13.1. Its different, and based on 6.0.1
Google didnt announded Android 6.1. Maybe Android Nougat will be, but more probably it will be 7.0.
Nexus 5 shouldnt recieve official Android Nougat update, but u will see some CM or AOSP roms for Nexus 5 based on Android Nougat AOSP code.

Well, there is an image called
Code:
cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN-bacon-signed-88797441b5.zip
on cyngn.com/support
The cm-13.1 part looks like a reference to Cyanogenmod 13.1, but as dekefake already pointed out, it's CyanogenOS which I was not aware of. Also, I just noticed they changed the name in the first column from 13.1 to 13.0.1, so I guess it is just a typo (however, the filename still contains the 13.1 reference).

I did a quick google search regarding Android 6.1 and there are a ton of media items announcing Android 6.1 in June 2016, but also I guess it's just a poor researched reference to 6.0.1.
Sorry for the confusion, but it seems I'm not the only one who is confused here
There are big differences between CyanogenMod and Cyanogen OS, mainly open source vs closed-source & Microsoft apps.
There's no CM13.1 (CyanogenMod ROM), no announcement on their blog and Android Nougat 7 will be the next Android update for Nexus 5.

Wait, I read Android Nougat 7 stock wont be coming unless the community ports it (e.g., AOSP)?

AFAIK the AOSP code is still maintained by Google so we will have a clean version of Android 7 (no need to port from a newer Nexus device => instability).
Anyway, we will have perfect custom roms from Android 7 AOSP branches.

If you are happy using a Nougat (7.x) based ROM (8.x is currently the latest official version of Android)
then, as mentioned already, LineageOS is your best bet.
It will have the latest monthly security update and is regularly updated.

Best ROM for Galaxy TAB 2

Hello, I want to send my phone for warranty service, Galaxy TAB p3100 will replace for week my phone. I've read about ROMs for this tablet, but I still don't know which should I choose. I want to use FB messenger, snapchat and chrome on it, I know that it's old device but i want the most smoothest ROM. Would you recommend me one?
im also looking for an answer for this... doesnt have to be the best, but just be the less lag/stable custom rom.. can anyone give recommendations/opinions/feedbacks for custom roms based on Marshmallow? except AOSP...
nougat roms as ive read and i've tried some, are still unstable/laggy.. so thats a no no for me..
my current options are installing custom roms based on Marshmallow with pico gapps / with microg?
im aware that without installing gapps, i'll get better and stable rom experience... ive tried it but I couldn't bear the lack of gapps and the unsatisfying alternative apps..

are u using the Official LineageOS 13 Marshmallow? official lineageos for our device seems to have been removed in lineageos website download.. discontinued?
edit: i'll try other roms with oms/substratum support like Resurrection Remix OS or OmniROM since i bought some substratum themes, dont want to waste it.. lineageos only has legacy mode for substratum.

Yes, and yes it has been discontinued... But you can build the lineage nightlies yourself like I do as long as you have the blobs.

I knew I had Android-Andi's links somewhere, I also recall being able to use the way back to get LineageOS room files also. But they may have removed them entirely at this point.

Both becomes unstable after a few days. So I don't really use it anymore. Try Blackbird OS. It's the one I am using now. Just recently released. It's good.
