I bought this phone 6-7 months ago and i have been messing around with it since then.Here are my experiences with it.
LOLLIPOP:
Currently i couldnt get Lollipop to work well no matter what tweaks and fixes i did.This includes memory leak fixes,Wakelock fixes and scripts.From all the lollipop roms i found resurection Remix to be the best in terms of functionality.NOTE:the time i used cm12 there was only invaderJohns kernel,so i havent used it with nikita's kernel.
also LTE was a ***** to toggle
STOCK
Battery life and stability with stock rom (kinda tweaked a lot)is unbeatable.I've been using it for the most time of them all and it just cant be beaten(With the help of tweaks from 3c Toolbox(AKA android TUNER)and after i uninstalled some bloatware it needs about 13 hours to lose 1% of its battery when i dont use it.
ALSO IR works,the only donwside i could find in stock rom is high ram usage and high battery usage when using mobile data.
stock touch sensitivity is awful too.
4.4.x
All testing has been done using nikita's v3.1 kernel.
CM11 works well.No memory leaks,no random wakes no bull****.Vibration appears to be working but camera has overexposure issues.WHICH you can fix by replacing this libs files in /system/vendor/lib and change permission to 644 and reboot https://www.dropbox.com/s/3d88k0p12iklgop/camera_fix_libs.zip?dl=0 provided by AntonPanos
Currently im using CPA which works best for me.Everything appears to be working correctly except IR which is something to be expected(havent even tested it though).Also camera works perfectly,video though has exposure issues (using camera that comes with rom)which can be fixed if you change to the same video resolution once you want to start recording.IMO this rom is made for the ones that are looking for superior multitasking and simpleness.Its fast,pretty,and lag free.
I installed mortal kombat X btw and it well.
Other roms i havent yet tried cause i find no reason to.(miui v5 appears to have bugs)(PA 4.6 and pac rom might be worth the try).
Also for anyone that has tried or wants to try the PTT(partition tool table)for d620
Be aware that i was using the TWRP 2.8.6 recovery.
Once i used PTT with OPTIMAL setting i let it do its job,then it reboots(at that point is stucks at lg logo as it should).I reboot it using the harware key and it enters recovery.
IF YOU install a rom right away and try to boot the phone you got it soft bricked.For some reason you cant enter recovery using volume down and power button and phone will get stuck at boot animation.Then the only way i found to get it fixed is entering download mode and flashing stock using lg flash tool 2014.
YOU must first format both cache, data AND SYSTEM(do dalvik too wont hurt) partitions VIA twrp before flashing a rom.
This is just me though so if anyone got any experiences of his own pls share!:good:
EDITED:forgot to add System and dalvik partitions formatting if you use PTT.Sorry!
IMPORTANT:using CPA atm and found out that during calls phone's microphone(headset's microphone works fine)transmits a buzzing sound sometimes.Also my voice sounds a lot deeper and kinda poor quality.
EDIT:MANAGED to find what is wrong.I did clean install with just nikitas kernel and play store->all was good till i installed faux controls
Do not install FAUX CONTROLS ON CPA cause its gonna break the mic.I got to find a different way to push more power on my headphones now if anyones knows how plz share.
Do can cpa be used like a day to day rom? I want to unlock bootloader and flash that rom bcuz of the high ram usage on stock..can you tell me how much free ram you get with facebook and fb messenger opened? Or after you reboot the phone how much ram u get

Im using cpa as a daily driver with nikitas kernel v3.1.
It is rock solid with zero reboots.(quickremote doesnt work due to kernel and video capture can be a little tricky).
i get 500mb free ram when phone is clean and about 400 when i havent cleared recents.If i multitask (music,internet,pdfs,)nothing shuts down and phone keeps on running smooth with about 200-250 mb left.
I just installed facebook to check(everything open:Browser,camera,facebook,fb messenger,music).
I get 350 mb free,no lags during transition.
CPA also has expanded desktop mode which allows you hide status and navigation bar.It is rly good for facebook and internet browsing.
Also omniswitch and pie navigation makes it rly easy to work with the phone.
edit:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
im using cm11 small gapps because i didnt want the google play(books,games,music etc)bloatware.
Wow that s amazing.. I think i m gonna install it too. Thanks for the info

That's cool. I have tried Stock, CM12, Pacman and Resurrection Remix. RR was the best of them. I have better battery on the CM12 based ROMs than on Stock, which might be due to mobile data sucking battery as you described.
CM11 was not an option for me without working vibration, but with Nikita's Kernel I might try that. I didn't really have CPA on my radar,but I might try it.
I don't even know how you get such crazy good battery life. I can't get lower than 1.4%/h on any ROM i tried. (I lose ~8-9% over night) and I don't have any apps that generate Wakelocks besides Whatsapp (yeah major battery sucker), Gmail, 2 other e-mail accounts and IFTTT.

So you use Nikita's Kernel on CPA as well?
And do you suggest using SuperSU instead of the built in SUManager. Do you use Kernel Auditor instead of the built in Performance settings?
What is "CPA" guys?

I would strongly recommend formatting Cache,Dalvik Cache, data AND system before flashing.
Especially when going from 4.4 to 5.0 or from full stock to full custom.
I personally found most of the problems i was facing after a new flash resolved when flashed again and wiped system.
Very good post though.

cm11 and cpa that ive tried are close to my stock idle power usage records.CM12 was horrible no matter what i did. 1.3%per hour with all the tweaks.But battery usage was kinda better with data on.Havent got the chance to test on cm11 etc.
Also i do use nikita's kernel on cpa and built in SUManager even if outdated has not given me any issues so i didn't bother.
kernel adiutor is a handy app that should be on the phone.Although i use built in performance settings,faux sound controls for kernel audio boost.I also think CPA comes with Viper4android and MusicFX which i disabled both.(i might turn viper for android on cause i love it).You must use faux sound controls if you want to change headphones,phone mic,speaker gain.

I have another question. Which gapps do you use for CM11 and CPA?
I used the PA Gapps 4.4.x Pico or Nano and shortly after i boot up on CPA "Google play Services stopped working". I don't know how much this affects my system, but some push notifications seem to be delayed (though that could be some other setting's fault)
I denied "Google Play Services" & "Google Play Services Framework" keep awake in AppOpsXposed and disabled some Google Play Services :
Code:
AnalyticsService
FeedbackService
AdRequestBrokerService
FusedProviderService
GeofenceProviderService
negotiationService
WatchdogService
WearableService
I use this guide to further improve my battery life: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
I removed limitations some alarms in Amplify though to see if those were delaying push notifications or if setting minimium CPU frequency to 182MHz caused this.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps i use the "small" pack and have disabled hangouts,google text to speech,gmail,talkback,browser.(just to free some ram,also am using greenify to freeze some of the apps i have downloaded separately in case they cause wakelocks).
I dont think you have to push it that far cause i havent and phone is rock solid.
"Google play Services stopped working"that happens probably due to some of the services you disabled or permissions you denied i had the same issue on cm12.
I have done only the above i stated and the phone just never wakes up due to some google app.
The only issue im having currently is mic quality during calls.(i think it uses camcorders mic and it gets screwed up).
Do note that if you get low power into your headphones or you want to boost the speaker sound a bit the right way to do it is download faux control and tweak some of the setting on first tab(second tab i found useless.)/

I don't know if it's safe to use that. When I unlocked my bootloader I used my own aboot.img, modified as Zaap described in this post
It doesn' take long and is safer than just taking his aboot.

Yeah, I know this from experience :/
Anyway, if you have the D620R, then it's "safe".
Still, it's better to use your own.

What is Evervolv?
Evervolv is an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) rom. We're fully open sourced and encourage it with no restrictions. The work put into this ROM is community driven and Evervolv Project is made up of numerous members and contributors.
Right now the current source we are working on is KitKat (Android 4.4.x).
Current Evervolv version: 4.0.0b1
Installation
If coming from another ROM, you will need to wipe!
Download ZIP
Flash in recovery.
To enable GSM, download the GSM zip below and flash in recovery.
Note: If you have flashed the GSM zip and wish to go back to CDMA, download and flash the CDMA zip in recovery.
If S-ON:
Extract the boot.img from the zip file
then flash in fastboot with the command below:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Changing runtime from Dalvik to Art
Art is experimental, but if you wish to try follow the below instructions:
flash the rom (If you have already installed the standard gapps for Dalvik, you will need to wipe first.
boot and change the runtime to Art (settings -> developer options)
Let the phone rebot and do it's thing
Once rebooted, boot into recovery and flash the Banks gapps provided below
Working
Everyting regarding the phone's operation should work. Calls, data, wifi, camera, camcorder, video & bluetooth (calling and a2dp) etc.
Not working
Camcorder will take a few seconds to start recording.
Camcorder will stop working if used repeatedly, you will know it's not working if it starts "recording" immediately (reboot to fix)
You tell me?

Awesome! Will flash this afternoon and run it through its paces and report back.
Have you ran it for a bit @kkozma? How's battery life, I know its been poor in some 4.4.2 builds for the Rez.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Poor battery life with the Rezound is just a fact of life... I know that switching to Art DOES increase battery life, but there are issues with Art that really make it not that great for a daily driver.
I've noticed a few graphics issues in this rom that we don't have in CM, so I'm going to have to investigate that a bit, but otherwise it's been pretty stable.
Netflix hack posted in 2nd post. Tested and working.
Nice job. Thanks!!!!!

So your saying that the battery life is as "typical" on KitKat with the Rezound as any other ROM?
Also, what issues have you noted with ART that might effect it being a daily driver? I use ART on my Nexus 4 and it is trouble free... What do you see as the reason ART couldn't be a dd ROM in this case?
Can someone post a screen shot of this once it is installed? Please
@kkozma ROM seems really smooth. YouTube, BT streaming and calls, and camera functions all work well with dalvik runtime. As you mentioned ART does seem to have issues at times.
Great job on the build - look forward to testing it out more as a DD.

Will post some screen shots shortly... Pretty plain jane, so not sure what your looking for.
One thing I noticed, from the home screen if you press Menu -> Settings nothing happens, no menu, pressing Settings from App screen works fine. Also, if you press Wallpaper from Menu on Home screen you get "Launcher3 has stopped" (Nevermind, it just didn't like the fact I had the SD card mounted as USB Storage, once I turned it off, it was fine). Just starting to play around, haven't even flashed Gapps yet.
EDIT: some basic screen shots attached, not much to see though
EDIT2: Gapps installed (Banks), base configuration, and some basic apps installed (Play Store didn't reinstall apps coming from LiquidSmooth) and ran it through some everyday stuff... Exchange email, WiFi Hotspot (tried Nexus 4, HP laptop, XBox360 all successful), media playback, Chrome, Google Maps, etc. all working fine, no issues of any kind so far other than the Menu->Settings things I mentioned above. Going to give it a run this week and see what happens... nice work @kkozma and the rest of the devs. :good:
EDIT3: Added a screen shot from after I configed with basic apps I use, a few widgets, and gapps... in case someone was interested.
Haven't really used Evervolv before, are the Performance settings hidden or just not in Evervolv?

Wow... memory usage is amazing so far, averaging 390MB free?!?! I haven't seen that in a LONG time!!!
Been using it for a little while, it's really fast. Might be because I had that install of CM11 for a while and I wiped it for Evervolv, but who knows.
With xposed and Gravity Box I'm not missing anything.
Anyone know if gsm is working? Cm11 doesn't quite have it working yet... Everything except sending texts...

Not sure about GSM. I do know that Evervolv uses a slightly different telephony codebase. Give it a shot!
This is my new daily driver ROM... I tried to break this, really I did, but I couldn't... everything works, Bluetooth, camera, tethering, prox sensor with no tweaks, Exchange email/calendar/contacts... everything. The ONLY think I found that isn't working is when you press Menu->Settings it does nothing, but accessing settings from the pull-down or app menu works fine.
Battery life is average, not terrible, but not great. Memory management and usage is amazing, and I am running with close to 400MB free on a regular basis.
FYI to others... this ROM is plain jane, there isn't any fluff at all, it is as very basic and has few tweaks and settings but that is by design. That isn't a bad thing but if you are used to Tachyon, Carbon, or others it might seem like something is missing, but it isn't, just be aware you will have to add the apps and stuff you want/need that are anything beyond the core of Android. Out of the box there is barely one full page of apps and only basic widgets, so you will probably need some lockscreen and widget add-ons as well if you are used to other ROMs.
All and all, for the first full blown KitKat release for the Rezound, this is a stable, usable basic ROM... I whole-heartedly recommend this ROM.
Will continue to use this as my DD, if I run across anything I will share.

Thanks for the glowing review! If it means anything to anyone else. I've installed this on my wife's Rezound and she has no complaints. She's as big of a technophobe there is, so I'd say that's also a good sign. Haha!
How about mounting the SD Card for USB mass storage? I wasn't able to get that going on mine and I saw someone in the CM thread with the same issue... I think it's probably something in the mount points, but I'm chicken to mess with that stuff!

It worked fine for me, but I did have to turn it on manually from the dropdown menu.
Edit: now that I think about it, all I did was access the internal storage to grab my screen shots, I didn't try to actually access the SD card, I will give that a shot when I get back to the office.

Ok, I just tested GSM with my AT&T sim card and it did not work. It's possible it was caused by something I missed in one of the config files to build with. I have corrected that and am re-building now.
Does built in wireless hotspot work without hotspot subscription check on vzw?

Device: i605 (Verizon Note 2)
Hey all! I am here to bring you the latest version of AOSPA-Legacy to the Verizon Galaxy Note 2! This is always compiled from the latest AOSPA-Legacy sources compiled with the CyanogenMod kernel. I have added some new features to the AOSPA source, but there are no extra apps in the final build.
NOTICE:
This is an unofficial build that I made for myself that I am sharing with all of you. I have a set use for my phone and therefore cannot test everything. Because of this, your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for any damages this ROM does to your phone, but just know I only upload after testing on my phone. Results may vary. Also, this ROM will be updated when I get around to it. I do not have the infrastructure to build nightlies on this computer (it's a laptop btw), and will only update to add new features/fix bugs, maybe weeklies, haven't decided yet. Perhaps I could become this device's new maintainer since everyone seems to be gone, but I'll get to this later.
Without further hesitation, let's get to it!
INSTRUCTIONS:
MAKE SURE YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED!!
Reboot into either the latest TWRP/Philz Recovery
Wipe Data, Caches, etc.
Install this Rom (Download Below)
Install PA-Gapps
Wipe caches again (eh, why not?)
Reboot
???
PROFIT!

Gerrit is down but being fixed, so I am not able to cherrypick these two items. Hopefully PA can resolve this soon and they will be added.
GOOGLE CHROME UPDATE: There seems to be an issue with the latest build of Google Chrome (v39) where the app will always start in floating mode. To return to full screen Chrome, clear app data after updating from the Play Store and every time you open Chrome pull up the Recents Menu (default is long press home button) and select Chrome again. It will now be full screen. This seems to be an issue for all of AOSPA.
Another fix is to stay on Chrome v38 and not update. Link To apk
Weird issue after installing
Not sure if it is related to this ROM or not but I had not encountered this previously under any other ROM. Installed this last night - wiped everything with all the normal steps. Also installed the latest PA GAPPS (the link in the first post - installed the Full version). Restored most of my apps with TB and everything went as normal. This morning, the phone, while just sitting on my desk, made a noise (maybe like I got a notification). I picked it up and it was pretty much loading and displaying things from different apps and videos on my phone without any input from me. I could not get it to respond to any button presses and was even having issues trying to power it down until I just pulled the battery. I re-loaded one of my backups from another ROM and everything appears to be back as it was and I've not experienced the same issue at this point. Can't say 100% it was this ROM but thought it better to at least note it.

Hmmm...That is a very strange issue indeed! Did you install a custom kernel? Were you running any Xposed Modules? Would you be willing to try this ROM again and report if it happens again? Thanks!

I did not install an alternate kernel- usually I find it pays to stick with the one that came with any ROM I install. AGNi kernel always seemed to give me one problem or another. But I digress. I might try to install again to see if I can replicate but it was a little disconcerting as it looked like it was opening apps and displaying data I had entered - almost like some sort of bot. Don't keep much on the phone of a personal nature and it is no longer a work phone since I retired this summer - mostly a toy of sorts so I just try the various ROMs out there.
Won't get to it tonight but i'll let you know when I re-install.

Sorry - didn't answer your other question. I did install Xposed installer. Only active module I used was Gravity and changed the battery icon and lockscreen background. I also have Greenify and Wanam Kit active but did not actually use either one to modify anything.

Well, on my honor, I did not put a bot into this. I'm running the same build I posted and have not had that issue.

Really didn't mean to imply or suggest you did - I was more amazed on what I experienced and was hoping maybe someone else might have some explanation. I think I have installed every Note II ROM that has been out there since I got the phone 2 years ago so I'm not shy in regards to flashing new ones. I appreciate the effort all you developers put into this so again no blame intended.

Don't worry about it! I didn't mean to come off as so defensive, I was simply trying to stamp out anymore thoughts of there being a bot.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Reflashed ROM - No repeat
I did reinstall the ROM last night since I wanted to try to replicate the overall process I followed and I wanted it to sit overnight. I got thru this afternoon without the same problem occurring. I did not activate the Xposed framework so none of the modules were active either. Other than that I re-installed basically all the apps I had installed the initial flash. All went well although I did have the SMS "unable to send issue" happen (it seems to happen every so often after I reflash a new ROM - doesn't seem to be ROM specific) so I ended up following the usual process as outlined by DreamFX and restoring a different ROM. I have consistently found the Unofficial Aokp ROM by apophis9283 to be the most stable ROM for me - I'll try yours again when the next release is out there.

Unfortunately the Google Now activate tone does "crackle" on this ROM, however when it talks or makes any other sounds it's clear.

Darn that stinks. Thank for confirming.
I am going to try this ROM out. I will let you know if I have any issues. Thank you for giving is another choice.
Thanks for bringing this up for us, very exciting.
I know this is just getting started, the top features I am hoping to see are:
Quiet hours
Profiles
Long press back button to kill
1px battery bar
swipe between notifications/quick settings
Just my wish list for the cherry picks, but everything seems smooth so far!
This is my first attempt at compiling cyanogenmod for my own phone. So far it works OK for me so I decided to share:
WARNING:
As of 20141223 you will need HBOOT version 3.19.000 to be able to use this. in order to get it install the latest firmware from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
WARNING:
This is an ALPHA built, in other words too many things are broken and expect things to suddenly stop working. Make sure you know how to recover your phone in case anything breaks. If you have a grain of doubt that you may not be able to recover DO NOT PROCEED. and in the end of everything: I do not take any responsibility for anything that may or may not happen to your phone. You are flashing at your own risk not mine.
Requirements:
1. Custom recovery (I used TWRP)
2. Latest firmware version 3.19.000
Files that you need:
CM12 built: http://devbro.com/android/cm-12-20141223-UNOFFICIAL-m8.zip Last stable built with no issues for camera and bluetooth is 20141218
GAPPS: http://d-h.st/YQG
SUPERSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu -- no longer needed
Steps:
0. Create a small temple using your favorite objects and pray to your favorite God or Gods for a successful outcome. I did about 2 hours of praying to Eutykhia. I suggest the same to you.
1. Back up your stuff using Titanium backup
2. Go into recovery
2.1 Do one last nandroid backup here of System, Boot, Recovery and Data
3. Wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik
4. install CM12 and GAPPS
5. restart upon completion
Things that do not work:
1. Titanium back up and apps that depend on root may hang. Flash SUPERSU from RECOVERY and it should fix it. Fixed as of 20141220
2. Camera does not work.
3. Bluetooth may not see new devices. Restart before adding each individual device.
4. If Calendar is not syncing install the Google Calendar from the Store
5. Apollo(music player) Keeps on crashing. I used Play Music(google music) to play my musics and it works ok so far. fixed as of 2014-12-06 build. Apollo no longer exists but a new music app that works just fine with nuplayer
6. Probably other stuff that I have not come across yet.
7. I have not been able to get the swype gesture on the keyboard. If you know why please tell us.
If you have suggestions:
Simply post it in the forum and I see What I can do about it. If there are
My mods to this code:
1. I had edited the platform.xml to allow write access to sdcard (aka sdfix)
Screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Looks like you may have fixed more than Apollo in that last build. Camera, calender, and multiple bluetooth pairing worked out-of-the-box. Runs good. Only crash I've encounter so far is in trying to access the in-built Superuser settings, but it's redundant if you use the SuperSU app anyway.
Good job!

For the 2014-12-06 build I got a few more of the drm blobs. Still missing two blobs thought.
Hey, First - Thank You for this ROM it's a great start !
I have been using it since you released it and I just wanted to give my two cents. For being an Alpha build, mostly everything works. I have noticed few bugs but the most annoying one for me is when I'm playing music. 1) I would use Play Music and at first it worked fine but as of today, for some reason, it would play for the first 10 seconds and than it would go off. The music ticker would be increasing but the sound would not play. I would have to skip ahead a track than go back to have it play fully. 2) I also rooted and flashed the ROM on to my coworkers phone and for some reason, his mobile Data wouldn't work yet Wi-Fi works perfectly fine. 3) Something else that I noticed was that, when closing apps, more often than not, after hitting the "close all" tap, I would open the recent apps again and I would have a application running which was closed. 4) I would also get a FC when trying to change the settings in the Messenger app. It's not that important but I thought that I should mention it anyway.
That's all I have at the moment, Thank You again for your hard work.

Thank you so much for the info I will update the thread with these bugs. Here are a few things:
1. for the music player problem go to settings->development options->switch the music option from "nuplayer" to "awesome player"
2. I have no encountered this problem. did you check the APN settings and made sure that network data is enabled?
3. I do sometimes run into this problem
4. Are you using the default messenger app? I use textra which is very similar in look and feel and so far no breakage.
I have been trying to compile a new version but for the past 2 days the latest code off the branch keeps of failing the build at different points. If I get to fix the errors I will try again to upload a new build.

OK so,
1) I had it checked on and now I unchecked it, I will use it as normal and proceed with an update.
2) I'll be honest, he was being an annoyance so I did not check his APN though you are probably right.
3) I am using the stock messenger app. I had the Google application on here but I was receiving and "message not sent" error for some odd reason.
PS: That was a fast reply, good stuff. :good:
Just an update on the Music bug, I unchecked the box as before and after nearly a 24 hour testing period, I have encountered the bug a few times but not a much as before. I would say that I would have to apply the walk around (Changing the track and than going back to what I actually want to listen too) around five times. That is way less than before, so it did address the bug but it did not kill it.

Have you tried other other music players such as play music? I want to know if the bug is exclusive to Apollo or not.
I did have the problem at the beginning and simply seeking the music it helped. I have not encounter that problem for sometime. Plus I have been using a bluetooth headphones so that may have something to do with my case.

I have used Apollo and Play music. Play music is the main one used. On another note, my mobile data also broke just know. I am not sure why so i had to revert to my backed up ROM
Works great so far. Only issue I am getting g is that the screen won't turn off during call. The audio issue happened once and it worked later don't know why. My cars bluetooth works and controls audio but won't get the text messenges. Besides that feels great for being alpha. No crashes so far.
I finally managed to build the source code again. I hope you all like this one.

Just a quick update for those using this. I have created a new built for 20141223 but so far i cannot get it to flash on my phone. Something to do with incompatibility between recovery versions. If i get to fix it i will post further updates.

Hello everyone,
I decided to create this topic, to clarify things for newer people, or just look at others preferences and opinions for others.
Tell everyone what ROM/Kernel do you use and why? Why it fits you the most? What makes you to use your certain combination?
Is it eXistenZ, is it PureX or Pheonix or even AOSP? Tell us!
i use the stock ROM debloated with multirom installed.
(CM12.1 is installed as secondarh rom)
i use stock because of its stability and features and i use CM as a second ROM because it acts as my utility OS, i use it as a management tool for my network

Thanks for your answer.
What do you mean by "management tool for my network" . I mean I understand the sentence, but can you explain more?
And by the way, your stock ROM is rooted and debloated by some scripts or just with titanium backup etc. Do you use greenify, xposed and so on?

I use CM as a Management tool because it allows me to do more things with less issues over stock
i run ubuntu 15.04 with the Kali Linux toolbox installed and as well as that its easier to use CM as i have modified my CM rom to not have anything except for the things i use
as for the stock rom i have removed any useless bloat apps and i have xposed installed with a few xposed addons to make using the device eaiser (i used a flashable zip to debloat which can be found in the cross development section)
for example i have no screenshot delay, mobile radio fix, youtube background play and a couple of other minor tweaks from xposed installed

I use Pure X v8.The rom is full debloated with some mods and he works fine.V9 is much modded but has huge battery drain.
When I am only on wifi I get up to full 48 hours with 6 and half Sot with sinhronisation,location,auto brightness,3g network only and some listening of music and voice calls.

What mods do you use? Do you use greenify, amplify? What do you think about installing v10?
I use miui on kitkat.
To make a perfect screen off time I had to freeze the gallery app and I'm using power nap + ds battery saver.
That's the reason I stick to kitkat, because it has awesome battery life (in standby mode) + miui doesn't get so leggy after some time as stock kitkat.

May i ask if it's normal that i get less than 4 hours SoT time with my xperia Z2?? i'm full stock in everything since i am little afraid to root.
That happens while i have always STAMINA mode ON with few apps active(Viber,What's up, NO FB MESSENGER, etc), sync on, brightness always less than 50%, and always wifi or 4G on. Also how much battery draining is caused from games??
Any advices?

I literally have no clue
Most of my SOT is due the fact that i really dont have that many apps on my phone
I also turn off some cpu cores and even limit my gpu but the screenshots from below are with my system not limited

Hmmm then you suggest not to have useful apps and some games in that beast of mobile phones?? Hmm it's strange.. Will try the device
as soon as it comes back from service and see what's going on just with few apps. Of course with no root.
I've always stuck with Sony stock rom, rooted and debloated in the past. But recently I've tried existenz 4.5.2 and absolutely love it. It's fixed some of Sony's stock rom bugs, plus plenty of additions and goodies. It really is an amazing rom. Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
I return from Pure X to stock latest and everything is perfect.I dont use even greenefy or titanium etc.
I just must to always have rooted rom cause after install I always must flash restore drm keys file,cause I unlock bootloader.
I have now 19h 13 min uptime with 4h 43 min screen on time and still left 46 percent.
Lollipop or kitkat?
Kitkat stock or kitkat miui?
Opinions, pros and cons?!

The /system partition size is probably not enough. I believe cm14 needs at least 1.3GB.

Browsing around this afternoon and saw this and was curious.

Hey Dan here's some info and links I added to my guide. The rom itself has really great performance, battery stats and the 3D score is notably higher then Evervol 7.1.1. However I haven't been able to overcome issues with the play store force closing and AOSP keyboard crashing at start. Additionally sometimes when you flash the rom you get a blackscreen at boot but some builds worked fine. Let me know how it goes for you and if you have better results. I've tried both the open and base gapps packages with the same results.
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][7.1] CyanogenMod 14.1 Unofficial (Invisiblek)
Rom Details: Low battery drain (-2mA to -15mA), h/w video, Audio, Camera(doesn't work), Bluetooth.
Note: This rom **REQUIRES a minimum of 1312MB System Partition. Change the size with Jcsullins TPtoolbox after selecting to install android
Note: You may need to install another keyboard app (here) if the AOSP one crashes at start
Note: May have issues with the Play store force closing.

I perhaps should have waited and thought this one through. - I didn't.
I don't think I wiped it properly. Not entirely sure. I think I did a 'sort-of' dirty flash of this over top of EV7.1.1
First boot was not pretty. Went back into recovery twice and did the wipe(s) then installed.
Came up OK, did have a couple of FC's. Just flashed OpenGApps Nano and am waiting for it to reboot.
I need to keep a better logbook, I think that I have all three of these 'testers' configured the same but that may not be the case.
So I might be heading back to 'GO' and firing up the ol' ToolBox.
EDIT: Might have to nickname it ForcedCloser... Can't setup and account. PlayStore FC'ing May have to start from scratch...
What is with all the "Default ######" accounts? and the one labeled 'Alice'?
I also got same problem ,fallow Roland ...the way he ask us to install ,u have to installstable version 1st Cm11. Then wipe system only to install.. see before Post he has given link

Night two: no joy, can't get in to play store or create account. Keeps FC'ing
Started off with clean install. 1.5GB
Loaded swiftkey, and that's working well. Grabbed a logcat, but can't upload here at xda-developers.com........
EDIT: (Evening_12-29)
Hardly functioning. Going to have to sideload apps or go with an alternative to Playstore.
Even the Email App is FC'ing.
I'm going to have to figure out what I am doing or did wrong.
EDIT II : (Later Same Evening)
Surrendering. Tried flashing 12-25 a short while ago, then rebooted into CM, then restarted into recovery to flash
OpenGApps Nano, rebooted. Fired up play store - FC. Went into: Settings, Add Account - FC...
Need an emoticon waving a white flag... I can't get it to go.
If someone who does have it running would post up a screenie of 'DF' under terminal, I'd appreciate it.

Well, I thought I'd give it another try tonight.
Wipe everything - twice. Flashed the ROM - booted. It came up fine. No errors at all.
Rebooted back into TWRP and flashed GApps: "gapps-711-base-20161218-1-signed.zip"
Rebooted , 'Google Play Services have stopped' and the 'Keybd has Stopped' Errors
tried setting up a Google Acct, <FAILED> Stuck at "checking info" then returns a Play services error.
Tried going into Play Store, same result.
I've tried some many different GApps that I've lost track....
maybe need to figure out how to get rid of the 'Extra Accounts labeled "Default #####" ' ?
Seems quick and snappy. I don't think though that I feel like side-loading everything...
Well this has been a wasted afternoon... After trying different methods of trying to fork in different versions of Play Services and Play Store I gave up and did a clean install of 12-26. No GApps.
Keyboard is NOT crashing... (so far)
Then loaded Amazon App - Underground. Figured I'll just use those apps until...
er, nope. Amazon keeps stopping also... So much for that grand plan. Worth a shot.
Interestingly though, it crashes after selecting 'Sign In'... If you don't sign in it goes for just a couple of more screens, then crashes.
Just not yet ready for prime time - it's going to be something simple (hopefully)...
Harvested APKs from a couple of tablets and copied them over.
Been installing & trying them out for the last few hours while watching movies.
Most Apps stopping immediately. Swiftkey is working maybe 80% of the time before a close.
Root Explorer running at around 90%.
Loaded up a couple of older notepad type apps and they ran ok. Dolphin was a nogo.
AB Rio would go for a round then crash. First run the audio when bonkers.
Tried setting a custom wallpaper - finally got it.
Just isn't stable. Drat.
-----
Before I wipe it and take it back to EV7.1.1. I thought I would install Play Services and Store via ADB.
Didn't work. It reported that Play Services had Stopped as soon as it came up from reboot...
It did list a note in the pulldown that said that Play Services needed to be updated...

Thanks for giving the Rom a thorough testing and reporting back with your results. I had the same issues and never got past the playstore problem, eventually I gave up. Its a shame CM14.1 came to an end before reaching its full potential on the HP TP.
Edit: If you're ready for a new adventure test out Invisiblek's Lineage OS rom here I've made a thread about it below and yes the play store is working
