Hello everyone!
I've been on smallEUI for a while, and I've decided that it's not worth it to keep anymore. SOT is inconsistent, there are small bugs here and there, and some major that begin to appear after a while.
I've been looking at Mokee and Ressurection Remix (sadly, author has stopped development of a buggy nougat version and moved to oreo)
I'm not looking for spectacular SOT that will blow me away. 4-5 hours is enough for me.
Stability is a huge must for me, i use my phone everyday and I need to be able to depend on it. EUI ROMs have aggressive RAM management (I have the 6gb RAM version and EUI treats it as if I only have 2gb, removing apps from RAM like my launcher). I need basic features like VoLTE and Bluetooth to work without fail.
I don't really care about safetynet, so I'm fine without that.
EDIT: I'm a fool, I said OmniROM instead of Slim. Sorry about that.
Thanks!
EDIT
Alright, I've actually installed Slim. Its superior to SmallEUI in almost every way.
Camera is almost as good as stock, no noticable difference.
Battery life is much more consistant (Expect 4 h 30m of SOT with mixed usage.)
No more crappy EUI RAM management (Its really bad, it treats 6GB of RAM like its 512MB of ram, killling any background processes, including your launcher, forcing frequent redraws)
Slim handles thermals MUCH BETTER than EUI. Way better!
Noticably faster UI, and smoother sustained performance under heavy load.
Nougat!
VoLTE works on T-Mobile US.
Fingerprint sensor works perfectly, and works faster in Slim than EUI, and more accuratly too!
Bug free so far.
And OTA updates!
This is hands down the most stable experience I've seen so far.
Better than Lineage, better than Mokee, and SmallEUI.
Go for this ROM, you won't regret it.

Hi I'm currently using MOKEE and it's actually pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs at all but I'm not sure if VoLTE works and if you download it there will be almost everyday update but you don't have to download them because they don't change anything for our device

If I were to switch to Mokee, should I download the stable version?
The nightlies seem to be auto compiled and they look really unstable.
EDIT: Also, how is SOT?

It's recommend to download the stable and the nighties are almost the same so don't worry downloading them.
Also I'm not sure what do you mean by SOT.

You have never heard of the term?
I'm just kind of surprised. It means "screen on time".

I just haven't come across it but I don't have any problem SOT but I'm not a lot on my phone so I can't say a lot.
I’m in a similar position as you are. Using LOS 14. It’s been really stable. Best ROM i’ve used so far for the Le max 2. Small eui was a buggy mess when I used it. RR was good at first, but more bugs made me switch. Happily using LOS as a daily driver now.

How is Lineage os in general?
Does gps work fine?
Fingerprint scanner can be fixed easily with a firmware update, so I don't mind that.
How is SOT?
Does camera quality match EUI?
Thanks!
Los if probably my favourite flavour android. RR has more options, though seems slower and more prone to issues (in my experience).
Camera is great. I've installed the Google hdr released camera app though, it's excellent.
Not too sure about sot sorry. Phone is usually around 20% when I finish the day. That's from 6am till say 10pm. I'd say average use for anyone that's on XDA.
This phone has never had good battery for me, except for small eui. But that was at the expense of an unusable rom with no SMS or push notifications working.
Finger print works perfectly.
Heyyo, for most stable? I'd say OmniROM 7 or LineageOS 14.1. They tend to not get the newest changes right away which is good for stability.
OmniROM is unique in the sense that it actually gets certified official builds signed by Google so they do come with SafetyNet Certification. It's the only custom ROM for the LeEco Le Max 2 that gets that.
Hopefully once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 he can get his Mach LeEco kernel working for it and get official signed builds of Paranoid Android as that is the only other ROM that I know of that gets Google signed builds. Tbh I'm really stoked for this as I failed to port his Mach LeEco kernel haha.
Oh, if you plan on using MultiROM? OmniROM play store certification only works if you install it as the internal ROM and not secondary ROM as it mounts the system as writeable. You'd then need to do Magisk plus Universal SafetyNet fix module to spoof the Play Store.
The only downside to OmniROM is Andr68rus has moved onto Oreo development so it probably won't get Le Max 2 specific upgrades but thus far from my testing all Le Max 2 bugs have been squashed much like LineageOS 14.1.
If you want better screen on time with OmniROM or LOS? You can always root with Magisk and then install the AKT Profiles App and use something like Project X.A.N.A. balanced or battery.
If screen on time is your goal though? Slimroms I'd say currently has the best balance of screen on time and performance.
Anywho? Lots to choose from and there isn't really a wrong answer except for say the AOKP or other discontinued ROMs.

Thanks for the detailed reply!
Sorry for the late reply.
So, I'm deciding between Lineage and Omnirom right now. Are there are basic features that differ between the two ROMs? Like included customization options or small tweaks that give the ROM it's unique personality?
It's amazing to see that a relatively not that known device has such a large and dedicated community to support it even when the company is going down under.
Thanks!

LineageOS has weekly build updates so it does still receive the Google Monthly Security updates which is nice. It also has a lot more customization options than OmniROM
OmniROM as I mentioned is the only custom ROM for the Le Max 2 with official SafetyNet certification as a main feature. I've also noticed because of it that it's the only ROM I know of where fingerprint unlocking works with stuff like my RBC banking app.
OmniROM tends to not get as many flashy features as LineageOS but it has a few unique ones built into it such as OmniSwitch which is an alternative to the recent apps screen where it slides a small panel from the side of the screen and has the same functionality as recent apps but without the need of exiting your current app.
There's also their open source clock app as another example.
For Le Max 2 specifics? OmniROM has Dolby Atmos built into it for better sound quality and also the LeEco infrared app for using the IR blaster built into this phone so both work out of the box without the need of flashing Magisk Modules or anything like that.

Thank you!
I will be installing Lineage OS and try it out!
Actually pulled a switcharoo at the last moment. I decided to go with Slim instead of Lineage because Lineage doesn't have VoLTE, and users report various problems with Lineage.
If anyone here is deciding on what to install, go for Slim.
Safetynet+Magisk passes safteynet, and everything is very fast.
UI and interface is really smooth, phone tempratures are much better than stock EUI, and SmallEUI
If gaming performance is your thing, expect a 20-30% increase in FPS than EUI based ROMS.
Battery life is a bit worse than EUI, but its consistent. In SmallEUI SOT would vary from almost 6 hours to as little as 1 hour and 30 minutes. Slim has a consistant 4 hour 30 min with mixed usage (Reddit, Gaming, and YouTube).
And best of all, no more annoying EUI RAM management! I have 6GB of RAM in my phone! Stop treating it like its 512MB and killing all background apps! It even killed Nova Launcher occasionally!
Slim is amazing. Simply amazing. I'm glad I made the switch now, and not later. I love it.
EDIT: I'm a fool, I said Omni instead of Slim. Sorry about that everyone.
Yep, tried them all and Omni's the best. Was worried that I'd miss functionality from EUI but everything actually works better. There's no reason at all to stick with stock roms. Do you know does Vulkan work with Omni?

Hello guys, i'm getting my OPX in about a week and i'm doing some research beforehand. My question is simple; Which custom ROM is the best one out there?
For now i have my eyes on cyanogenmod but i am wondering what your opinion is.
The only thing i need is for the ROM to be MM and it has to have support to use sdcard as main storage
Also i do have an additional question; Which camera app gives the best results?
Can you guys help me with this?
Thanks for the help
EDIT:
I have read some more around the site and i have found some tweaks that makes the camera better and stuff (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-custom-camera-hal-4k-uhd-dci-30-fps-t3315382) Is this any good?
Is there anything else i should know about?
There isn't a "best" ROM. Some are good in some aspects while others are better in other things. It all comes down to personal preference. Start by thinking of whether you are going for features, battery life or a bit of both and go from there. If you are a bit of a noob with ROMs leave you telegram, what's app, etc. and I'll be more than happy to help you

In that case, i think im going to be happy with cm13, atleast that is what ill try first. Im going to try the camera 4k fix and see if that makes the camera better. Thanks for the help, i guess im going with what i thought i would do xD
If I can help you, I'm on SultanXda CM13 rom (25/06 build). I'm really happy with it, more than with OOS. I'm not a ''power user'' (I didn't even rooted my onyx at the moment :s). Everything i need work perfectly (GPS, SMS/MMS, gapps, calls, camera, alarm clock, some social media apps) and battery life is pretty decent (i have ~4h-4h30 SWOT with all ''****ty'' apps like twitter, facebook &co).

So how is the rom you are using compared to the official CM13 rom?
And also, have you tested the 4k camera "patch" ?
i can recommend sultan's cm13 as well
If you are going for pure CMish, be sure to give Sultan's Unofficial CM a try. It's basically stock CM13 with a custom kernel which greatly improved battery life and performances plus a few tweaks to make things easier. I get 5:30h - 6h of screen on time with medium usage.
Try it, you won't regret it
Sultans ROM already has the camera HAL included. It is his after all and it does way more than just enable 4k

I didn't try official CM13, the sultan CM13 works well, i stay with it . I have installed it from one week now, have only one issue of heating but only once and for less than 5 min (maybe because of facebook app **** ...). If you want a stable rom give it a try

I will, does sdcard storage work correctly?
mic issues on sultan's?
AoSPa. Was previously using CM13 but the mic seems problematic, tried aospa last night so far everything is smooth.
Yes, Sultan has both mic and SD storage issues. But you can easily fix those: you fix the external SD with either an xposed module or a zip in this forum; the mic is fixed by editing the build.prop
All the Roms are top notch In there own sense. Best way is read forums and ask questions on what your looking for. I keep going back to Xosp. It works flawless and with sparky kernel gives decent battery life. If you dont want the Sony apps you can just choose your own file/music/gallery apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/rom-xosp-5-4-t3372070
Imo Sultan CM13
I am using Purity ROM. I find it quite efficient both in terms of battery and stable wise. Its better to take a poll and ask the users which ROM are they using. In that way, we can get to know the ROM that is used by many.
So which one is good in terms of battery life?
For Battery life

It is far better than the official cynogen mod nightlies.. I have used both... N sultan cm13 is much stable and runs perfectly with nice batyery life( 4 to 5 hr screen on time) but the only iasue i identified is '' OTG'' is not working.

AOSPA was really good, but the camera app ruined it for me. If you flash the OOS camera app it should be great. Not too sure about it's performance/battery life though, I didn't use it for too long
Hi all,
I have the X829 since some days, have TWRP installed, had some problems because I wiped the whole phone, rescued it with Cuoco Fastboot...
So, by having these troubles, I discovered there are a lot of roms for Le Max 2.
Therewhile, I am curious what " the best " rom is, why and where to download...
Every ROM has it's ups and downs the EUI roms for example are running on android 6.0, have a great battery life, are a little hard to get used to... Meanwhile the Nougat ROMS like ResurrectionRemix, LineageOS, Cuoco, Hexagon... are often updated, but they contain a few buggs ex.: Camera trouble, Volte, Speakerphone noise, camera flash... If you're a performance nut and just want to get huge antutu scores then I'd suggest you go with RR,LOS.

Hey hey, I want the best performance for use, not for some benchmark / antutu scores...
Then if you're comfortable using EUI I would definitely recommend small EUI by Auriel or Cuoco92's ROM.
Heyyo, hmm depends on your definition of best heh.
For staying up to date? Nougat ROMs have that but are also the least stable and not all features work properly for everyone (ie, VoLTE, Bluetooth, audio and camera issues. Vulkan also doesn't work).
If you like ASOP for a pure Android experience similar to Nexus and Pixel? Dark Unicorn or Pure Nexus Project are the two best choices for that with Pure Nexus Project being the closer to stock Android. Both should only be flashed with DU Bean Gapps and not OpenGapps.
If you want the most customized? Resurrection Remix is great for that but it has some major changes to doze so notifications do take a back seat when in doze mode. OpenGapps is recommended for this ROM.
If you want the most stable with all current features working? Stick with a Marshmallow based ROM like Mokee MM historical. RR has a MM build but I've read some people having issues with it so I'd probably avoid it for now.
I would recommend Linage it's bar the smoothest, few small bugs and not as customizable as Resurrection Remix.

I actually prefer LineageOS to RR, only because of the launcher and the icons look nicer xD
If you need working ViLTE and VoWLAN then NA 16s is probably still the best option for now. Custom roms are still working on getting that working. However it has effectively disabled notifications so you would need to go into the secret menu and turn it back on.
The one that works is the best one!

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good quality custom rom for the LeMax 2 that has everything working for daily use?
I have tried Resurrection Remix, Lineage, & Small EUI all myself and each seemed to have a different bug without a known fix.
Here is what I found as far as bugs still existing with latest releases of these roms:
Resurrection Remix - Camera apps all crash constantly
Lineage - Camera takes pictures off centered when zoomed
Small EUI by aurel - GPS is bad - takes many minutes for a lock, often can not lock in clear conditions
All of the above are good quality custom roms generally, and I have no issue with them other then whats listed. My thanks to their developers.
Alas these issues are all mentioned on the forums without any known fixes so I am in search of a new rom, and I just wanted to reach out for any suggestions of any good custom roms with everything working to try next. I would love it to try Oreo, but from what I have read it didn't seem like any of the roms are fully working yet, but if you know if one please let me know! If not Nouget is fine.. any suggestions are appreciated.
The camera, sadly, has been a sticking point for almost every ROM published here that uses an Android 7 or 8 code base. I've personally not had a terrible experience with LOS 14; the camera seems to work, stability is pretty good, and the battery life, while not fantastic, is hardly the worst.
Try pixel experience by shivateja
I am using since first release
V. Very good rom
After trying a lot of ROMS i will definitly stay with slim7. There is everything working fine! Fingerprint, camera, battery - damn! Love it
Offcenter issue is fixed in newest android oreo 8.1 roms.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Hey,
I made a mistake earlier this year and lost my keys so my phone lost a lot of features and is pretty damn unstable (I regularly lose access to the fingerprint sensor for example), I want to try a ROM that is overall stable, fast, good battery life ...etc.
I tried OMNI last year and it was okay, but I haven't had the time nor the will to go through the flashing process with Pie only to find most of the things broken and go back to where I started. Also, a working camera is important to me.
TL;DR I'm looking for a stable/usable CUSTOM ROM to use as a DAILY DRIVER on my X Dual.
i have a X DUAL and i test all rom but this rom perfect with dual sim already active

Reading through the description and the comments, it seems to be missing the ability to install GCam as well as crashing with bluetooth and aux!
I've used Cyanogen/Lineage back in the day and I don't have anything to say about the ROM, but it seems that Xperia devices are destined for the garbage after they stop receiving the updates since every ROM is struggling with something on them.
I'll go through the most popular ROMs to help you decide based on your needs. Apart from Stock all these are 9.0 ROMs.
Stock (or stock-based ROMs like Existenz): Stable, all function works like you would expect. Great balance between performance and battery. If it hadn't been for Android 8 and the lack of customizations I would have stayed.
Omni, Paranoid, AOSP: Decent stability and battery life, but very poor performance due to bad kernel optimizations. Gcam fully works.
Lineage 16 by Chippa_a: Decent stability and battery life, but has some minor issues with Bluetooth and stuff. Light gaming is fine, but heavier games will run badly due to horrible CPU throttling. Included camera app is decent, but Gcam does not work at all and simply crashes. If you just want a stable Android 9 with near-stock experience then I recommend this one.
Treble GSIs with Pavel's Kernel: Has the best customizability because of GSIs and stuff. Crashes quite often. Unmatched on gaming, but battery life is horrible and you pretty much need to underclock the CPU on anything outside it. Gcam partially works. No NFC, RAW10 and offline charging.
Treble GSIs with modified AOSP Kernel: Same customizability with the above option. Also crashes quite often. Slightly worse gaming performance than stock, and battery life is also below average, but not at a horrible level. Gcam, NFC and offline charging fully works. Currently my daily driver, with Lineage 16 GSI by AndyYan.

Thank you SO much for the effort, mate! Unfortunately, I need most of the things that are broken and don't need a much customization. I'd love me some 9.0 or even 10.0 but oh well, you can't have everything.
I'll stick with stock for now, run the phone until it breaks and say goodbye to Sony's phones.
Once again, thank you for your help, and thanks everyone.

I just flashed clean PA 7.3.1 and set kernel to performance in kernel auditor app this rom now is f*****g dope! Battery life is really legendary, performance in daily use is great there's no comparison with lineageos 15.1/16 (but anyway thanks to chippa for his work).
Also i flashed magisk selinux manager and set kernel to permissive so apps like Viper4Android, DriveDroid etc work flawlessly.
Xposed works too. What can i say everything is great only camera quallity is worse than on stock but not much worse. I think that PA nougat is the final rom on my X.
heres link: http://paranoidandroid.co/downloads/suzu
I also flashed oreo PA but its freeze on splash screen.

If you noticed, I only went through the Pie ROMs. Sure, you'll get better options by going back to Nougat/Oreo, but for all the missing features and compromised stability I'd rather stay in stock.

Also i flashed magisk selinux manager and set kernel to permissive so apps like Viper4Android, DriveDroid etc work flawlessly.
Xposed works too. What can i say everything is great only camera quallity is worse than on stock but not much worse. I think that PA nougat is the final rom on my X.

How about fingerprint, does it works?
I personally will use Lineage OS 16..Because Lineage OS is a kinda light if you compare it with stock roms.. Try to give it a shot maybe

Also, it worries just like it is supposed to and rubs on stock kernel, because of this, it delivers more performance.
I have tried some roms in the past, but wasnt really happy with stock camera in the roms or the full screen birghtness when unlocking.
I wonder if there are already roms with 100% of the quality from stock MIUI camera and normal FOD unlock wthout full 100% brightness.
I saw for example dotOS and it looks good, just not sure if camera and FOD are like in stock MIUI.
Someone has advice?
DotOS is a really good ROM. The camera is perfect and there is no problem with the brightness on the lockscreen. The only problem I encountered is the way that the rom don't want to update itself.
TL;DR : Try it !
Okay, it's almost 3 months since last advice, and for now which ROM is the best? Is DotOS still worth installing, or should I choose something newer, like Evolution X 6.0 or DerpFest (which are on A12)?
I am looking for great stability and camera, fast fingerprint sensor, good battery and working SafetyNet. Also, good RAM management would be significant for me, as I get very frustrated, when MIUI is reloading app that was recently opened. It's like c'mon, this phone has 6 GB of RAM, more than some older PC's.
Also, did you hear about ANXCamera? Is it good?

Yeah I still use DotOs, stability is great also fingerprint scanner is fast, Battery is crazy compared with MIU easy 8-9 hour screentime. Which translates for me to 7+ days without charging.
Yes I have ANXCamera installed which is like 95% the same as MIUI camera. Only thing I found was that its says 48MP instead of 64MP, but I never use that mode all other modes are working correct.
