Custom Roms + Custom Kernel recommendations for Pixel 2? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I just want something stable with fluid and snappy performance for the phone.
Great battery life would be great as well! Any recommendations? Not sure what roms are good for the long run on this phone. Recommendations are highly appreciated
Kernel recommendations are not necessary if the custom rom comes preloaded with its own kernel.

Bumping. I'll be using the Google Edition of this phone with a verizon sim card. Some suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you fellas.

Bootleggers is good. No issues so far. And it already has a custom kernel.

[Q] ROM for Galaxy Nexus VZW

I own a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I am new to the entire ROM/kernel business and so far have only flashed MoDaCo custom ROM (IM776D), AOKP, and LiquidSmooth v 1.35.
I really like Liquid but my main problem is language support (need Hebrew fonts) and problems with Bluetooth. Well, at least these are the only problems I experienced.
I would like a recommendation for a good stable ROM which has the following, by importance:
1. Language support (Hebrew)
2. Smooth, quick UI
3. Customizing ability as in Liquid
4. Improved battery life
Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated and if you have a certain ROM kernel combination that would do the job, please keep in mind that I am an noob.
Thanks

[Q] New to custom kernels? Help

Hello, I'm new to kernels and know not much about them except you can flash them like roms but, exactly where can I find a place with the most reliable kernels and if so, which one would be the best in terms of giving me the greatest/fastest performance? & also another different kernel that offers great performance as well as great battery life? (Running CM 10.1 stable on GS3, T-999)

Actually no one can give you an apt answer rather than yourself for which is the best. You may have to try yourself to know which is the best kernel, just like your try ROMs. Go to your device forum, pick up the most active kernel threads, read comments and feedbacks from members in the thread and you can try after getting an initial idea about the same.

Advices about ROM and Kernel

Hi all,
I know this question was asked a lot of times but I was away from this community for a lot of time so I need some info.
I'm using Back-to-Note v13.1 and Arter kernel last version.
I'd like to update my device but I'm not sure what rom+kernel combo to flash.
I need stability and a really good battery life, extreme performance is not my main goal since normal one is enough.
Thanks a lot!
Stock ROM.... when do you people finally understand. If you need root, just change the kernel and stay on stock ROM. The stock ROM is the fastest and smoothest with highest battery life.
I can understand and accept your point of view but a well developed Custom ROM is way better than Stock ROM.
Right now, the only stock one I'm interested to is the official MM release!

Advice for new Rom (XT1039 Peregrine)

Hi,
I know that this is going to be a very subjective question, but can anyone suggest a super slick Rom for my Motorola 4G LTE?
I tried CyanogenMod but did not fair to well with it - some lag and increased battery usage.
I really need something super lightweight and prefer function over nice looks.
It seems that three of the best contenders for this phone are Carbon, Paranoid Android and SlimKat - can anyone perhaps point me the direction of which one to use (or indeed suggest anything even better)?
Thanks very much.

roms which you suggested above their, development has been stopped mostly or has been inactive for 9-10 months. You may try Resurrection Remix rom .

If you find there is lag or battery drain flash hurtsky kernel

CM 12.1 is very slim, if you just use the smallest package for gapps.
greetings
Thank you both for that - I might have to try both suggestions and see which works best for me. (I am currently using CM 13, which might be the reason I am having problems).
It is very interesting that abhi0502 has mentioned flashing the Kernel - this is something I was not even aware of until now.
How does flashing a Kernel and flashing the ROM tie in with each other? I always thought that a new ROM would automatically provide its own version of the kernel.

yes it has own kernel but if battery and performance is not good as expected you can flash kernel (that is the reason i have rooted the phone.) You can flash kernel with cm13 currently and see if performance improves. But its always recommend for clean flash (Rom+kernel+gapps) to avoid errors
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks for the advice above.
I did try flashing the kernel as suggested but it kept causing my phone to randomly reboot - although it did not work well for me on this particular occasion, I shall definitely start experimenting with other kernel's in the future.
As suggested I wiped and reinstalled Resurrection Remix with the smallest version of gapps and not only is my phone massively more responsive, but the battery improvements are really noticeable.
Thanks again.

Help me to choose Best ROM

Hi Friends, I have recently rooted my Nexus 5 and willing to experience Custom ROM's. I have flashed MIUI 7 but is full of bugs. My choice for the best themes MIUI provide but it has so many loop holes. Could you people help me out to choose best ROM best in styles and Themes. Thank you.
The most stable ROM that I like is CyanogenMod. Even CM13 is stable. Make sure you get the "Latest Release"... not the "Nightly Release". Encryption works great. Its fast, slimmed down and pretty customizable.
There is no such thing
