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!
Cuoco92.

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.

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,
Could someone please tell me which Oreo ROM is good for daily use and has better battery than others?
Cheers.
You forgot to ask if VOLTE works
I've been using Nitrogen-OS Oreo 8.1 for the last 2 months and I can say it's one of the best Oreo ROMs out there right now
Pixel Experience 8.1 Check this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rompixel-experience-8-1-aosp-oreo-mr1-t3716727
Check Flashing Guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75428644&postcount=1280
So far, its best one when compared with Nitrogen OS & other oreo roms. I haven't faced any problems so far.
Definitely, Nitrogen os 8.
Go for it, I flashed it about 3 days ago and I just loved it. It is also very Power Friendly as well.:victory::good:

Just go for Pixel Experience as I am using it as daily driver about a month and I have never thought of changing my the rom as it is one of the best stable custom rom I have ever seen in these two years! Just got 2-3 random reboots due to incompatible GCam apps but after installing proper supported GCam, the camera become completely stable and no more reboots occured. Just go for it. Completely buttery smooth even after a month and customizations.

does the Gcam you are talking about take portrait pictures?
i used to change rom in every 2/3 day... because i was never satisfied... but for almost 1month i stuck on pixel rom...i guess there is no oreo rom with great battery backup as i am a super heavy user and i almost all the time use 3g internet and play a lots of games...but there is something magical in pixel rom...just love this rom ?
Is the Pixel ROM more close to stock Android Oreo?
Coz i checked the chain log for Nitrogen ROM and it has so much of stuff going on with it...i don't like too many customizations...more close to stock means more stable.
Also, how stable is the Camera with Pixel ROM?

Tried hard but no bug found. Stock camera works perfect but I'm using port for portrait mode that also is stable af. No fast charging on stock kernel, changed to franco, a bit better battery backup on it too, but not as smooth as it was before...
FireHound is a good option!

Mainly only 3 ROMs have active development (Omni,lineage and AOKP) AOKP has bug related to live display. So haven't used it since long time. I have used omni which is pretty good in terms of performance except its camera bug(green color photo when taken with HQ mode on) so I switched to lineages which is good too. For me lineage, compared to omni gives less battery performance. But overall haven't seen any major bug in it. So you can use lineage by yumi. :good:
Edit : RR is also there ,but I haven't tried it.
Install stock ROM , however your mom's gonna use it for basic things. And there are no bugs.
:laugh:
Install the OMNI rom. I am using it as my daily driver and it has been consistent. Although, do remember that it misbehaves with headphones attached via the 3.5mm jack and the camera sounds cannot be turned off. That said, everything else is amazingly smooth.
