Hey guys, I've started with my OP6 on OOS. I switched to havoc 8.0 and then to havoc 9.0. I'm now still on havoc, but looking to change rom due to bad active and idle battery. Stats are shown at the end. I went back to OOS for a bit, but there weren't enough features like havoc for me to stick with it. I've seen liquid remix, looks good and I'm thinking of switching. Can anyone tell me if the battery is any good? What kernel did you use and what settings did you enable?

I tend to hang on to my every phone for long, and when it's time to upgrade, I just like to slap updated ROM onto it and keep it a bit more. Problem is, It's been years since I stopped playing around with now ancient HTC Desire, so I'm all new to this ROM development jargon... again. And it wasn't like I grasped it fully before.
Anyway, CM is dead, and that was always my choice for Custom ROMs. Stock looking, feeling and performing, with just a few little touches to make ti more usable. Like the profiles that become active on different triggers.
So, now I wonder...
What is the best 7.1.1. ROM for Nexus 5, and by that I mean: good battery, performance, and stock look?
Does recovery play a huge role in it?
What about the kernel?
Anything else that I'm missing?
Youre talking about stock? Fake nexus rom.
I guess the only real stock is AOSP. Right?
Other than that, there are ones that look like stock, and those that are heavily skinned with Comic Sans fonts, weird color schemes and whatnot.
I loved CM for looking like stock, and having a few extra options that don't radically change the way it works.
I'll check FakeNexus ROM. Thanks!
Yes, AOSP is stock.
I personally use the AOSP Nougat ROM by Santhosh with blu_spark kernel and it's giving great performance and battery life.
This ROM is AOSP with some little features added like doube tap to sleep, volume rocker wake and night light
Even the green flickering issue by recorded videos is solved in the latest build in this ROM.

Is it stable enough for a daily use? What about camera and video performance?
Thanks for sharing

Yes, it is stable enough for daily use: celluar data, wifi, bluetooth, location, hotspot, great performance and battery life, ...
Everything works well on this ROM.
Google Camera v3.2 takes good pictures & HDR works too on v3.2. I can record videos in 1080p without stuttering and green flickering. Pictures and videos looks sharp and clear.
For me, it's like an official update from Google

Any changelog with those roms ? Is there any difference between those and RR/LOS ?
I will try the latest Mokee in a few hours and get back to you. Hopefully it's derived from the latest LOS source so it has good battery and stability, but we'll see.

Looking forward to your review!
Hands on Mokee 7.1.2 31/8
We are getting closer to a bug free experience! The main issue I have with Mokee is that there is no display calibration built in. It's kind of standard these days and in all other Nougat roms. Still, I just had to download FK Manager and root the device to be able to calibrate the display. Other than that I also feel there are a few bloat apps, for instance Substratum and Xposed. I have nothing against the apps per say, but I don't use them. Thankfully they can be inactivated even without root. The only other issue I've found is that the compass is totally whack still, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
I've only tested the rom for about half a day, but battery seems to be very good. Up to par with at least LOS 28/8 and not far from MIUI standards. The phone hasn't even gotten hot under the time I've tested the rom.
About performance, I got 60199 points in Antutu which seems very good for a beta rom. Other than surfing the web and recording videos I really don't do that many demanding tasks, but the whole experience is fluid as far as I can tell.
The stock camera seems to finally be fixed... again. In RR 10/8 camera worked fine, but then in LOS 28/8 videos were very dark and had a lot of artifacts. In Mokee 31/8 I really can't complain about image or video quality, it's great actually. A bit better than MIUI in my opinion
The stock camera still has the same issues, dark video recording at least. I will use Bacon Camera until it's fixed.
I can't comment on the issues people have with finger prints and if the issue has been fixed or not. I can only say that it's working perfectly fine for me.
I will stay on Mokee 31/8 for the time being. It's very close to a stock Android experience when all the bloat is inactivated. I would love some more features and settings to play around with, but I prefer a fully working rom over all the bells and whistles. It's without a doubt a daily driver, unless you really need a working compass!
Update 2017-09-02
After more than a full days of use I got pretty tired of Mokee. Still not a bad rom per say, but there seems to be some issues with deep sleep. Left it with over 70% battery during the night, when I woke up around six hours later it was down to around 50%. I'm not sure why and to be honest I really don't have the time to work it out. Instead I'm back on LOS 28/8 for the time being. I will keep an eye on Mokee and every other Nougat rom coming out since we're so close to having a fully working and bug free rom!
Anyone tested flyme os yet?
I am currently running Sailfish OS 2.0.4, but would love to run Lineage OS 14.1 until I find time to build a more up to date Sailfish OS image.
The only thing keeping me from running LOS14.1 on my not so bright and shiny new Nexus 5 is the battery life. It's usable on Sailfish OS, but I can't imagine how bad it'd be on Lineage OS 14.1. Coming from my Photon Q, Sailfish OS is a life giver of battery life, and while I love Lineage OS 14.1, the battery life was just GARBAGE with google services and apps (which, if I am going to use android again, I might as well go full retard and use google assistant and stuff). For referance of how I use my phone:
Only social media I use are:
Discord, 4chan client
I keep mobile data at 3G if possible, 4G isn't much faster in my experience.
I typically use my phone for 1-2 hours of screen on time a day, but sometimes amp it up to 3-4, but rarely.
I almost never use bluetooth
I only play casual games occasionally
As the title say, which ROM has better battery life among android P custom roms? im asking this because I did install stock android p and I faced huge battery draining on stock + heat. I don't wanna disable adaptive brightness for that either. So im wondering whether the battery life is batter on customs roms. If so please do mention the rom you have
i cant stand adaptive brightness not only does it kill battery, but it scales at the worst times and not in the correct intervals. i believe my preferences and environments change to much for the "machine learning" to do its magic.
ANYWAYS. I believe carbon rom with flash kernel gave me the best battery. i used the unified script with it, and enabled Smart pixels (on with battery saver, 75% move every 10 min) . With that setup i was able to get about 6hr SOT moderate to heavy usage.
Aside from that, any lineage based rom is going to be good on battery. A few people here swear by stock rom with a community provided kernel. Give elementalX a try on stock rom and see if it helps.

So adaptive brightness kills the battery?hmm. For me it is good . Donno about battery because i haven' used my phone disabling it. Anyway carbon rom + flash kernel give you android oreo battery? that's all i wanted.
My ROM is causing my phone to be way too buggy so I need to reflash. The question, with 10 out, what ROM should I get?
Im currently on 7.1.2 so I want to go beyond that
I understand the outdated "test and see which is best" XDA mentality but my phone is for my job and I work all day so I can't be with a buggy phone and be testing, wiping, etc. every day/hours; I need a working phone and stable features. Switching phones is something on the table but honestly, there isnt a phone for me: S10+ gets its warrant voided if flashed and the Oneplus 7 Pro is missing a 3.5mm plus has no water rating. I really like the F(x)tec Pro1 but I need some more information before I jump the gun on a unknown maker.
Things I need is
* Bluetooth hands free MUST work.
* GPS must work
* Camera and its flashlight must work
* Data (4G/WiFi) must work
* I need battery life to maintain a stable level; I can't be carrying powerbanks or stuff like that.
* Responsive; The phone is showing its age but it must be able to keep doing simple tasks as fluid as it can
* Bluetooth hands free MUST work. (Yes, its that important)
What do you recommend?
Thanks
have you already tried LineageOs 16? It is very responsive and I have not encountered any major bug: This is why i am using it as my daily driver.
But I have no idea if Bluetooth hands free works to be honest, because I have no way to test it out.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-oneplus-one-t3906214
For battery life and responsiveness, I would keep sultan's 7.1.
Right now I'm using Tugapower (Android 9). Pretty stable and everything you mentioned works just fine. There's a random reboot occasionally, but it might be some APP (it's very rare so I didn't mind to track). Also, battery life isn't as good as sultan's 7.1, but my battery is already 5 years old and accubattery estimate it to be at 2300mah (74%).

Fair enough. I would need someone to chime in how their Bluetooth hands free works but thank you for your input.

I cant play around with battery life being upstable or unsure.
You will get huge screen off batery drain in 9.0 roms. I tried everything and no success. I am using sultanxda 7.1, lightning kernel new 57 and magisk. Magisk Modules are FDE.AI and dns switcher (keweon dns). I get 4 hour SOT in wifi and 3 in mobile data. Batery effectively around 70%. Performance its pretty good.
I use bluetooth headset to make calls since my mic is broken and i had bo problems.
