Best ROM threads are not allowed here because they:
A) always devolve into silly bickering
B) are too subjective - what is "best" for one user is not necessarily "best" for another user due to differing use cases
The answer is, try a bunch of them and decide for yourself which is best for you.
I would like to rephrase him if I may, at this moment what is the most stable nougat rom for surnia, in my case. I normally follow the latest updates but I've been away from xda for a while and I would like to know if there is any completely or mostly stable at this moment
For me it's RR. I find it to be more stable than any other N rom out there.

RR is stable with the most features, Slim is the lightest since it has the least features and cyan is dead until Lineage OS is up and running, AOSCP is decent too, the new 7.1.1 update has just been released. Like the above user said, try them all and decide for yourself.

Redmi Note 3 pro se (kate) - firmware revisions and rolling back?

I recently did a full wipe, installed the latest miui Dev ROM for Kate and then did a clean lineageos install.
However, battery performance is terrible, roughly 4 hours sot under similar conditions that I got 9 hours sot a few months ago.
Basically I want to know if installing an old MIUI Dev ROM will roll back my firmware?
There is very little discussion of "firmware" for the phone. Does anyone know of a log or different versions and changes ? Is "firmware" the same as baseband ?

Yes, the miui roms include firmware so it will overwrite.
Did you try custom kernels? There's an unofficial LineageOS by Umang96 with radon kernel build in.
I am currently on resurrection remix with stock kernel. I figured out that most of my battery drains because of bad 4g reception. In resurrection remix there's a setting to turn on 2g when screen is off, that saves me a lot of battery.
Hi John
Honestly I find kernels a bit of a placebo. Too much tinkering and I've never really seen any big benefits from a custom kernel. That said I just installed Radon to see how things go.
I'm going to backup and install an old miui Dev and then do a clean lineage install I think.
Would be good to find or start developing a resource that has info on the miui "firmware". I have zero clue on the differences. Presumably a lot of changes are simply miui changes - I dunno what will change when I move across to lineage

You can't do that, lineage won't work with older firmware, so when you start from old global dev, you need to flash the newer firmware from the LineageOS thread (OP #2). Complete waste of time.

Yea it suggests to be on the latest firmware but I don't see why it won't work on a firmware from a couple of months ago. Realistically, someone who installed lineageos a few months ago will have just been installing weeklies and never bothered getting a newer miscellaneous firmware from the thread though, right ?

Everyone on LineageOS without issues is on firmware from OP#2. The new nightlies are built by devs using this firmware, and you should be on it too to ensure everything is working properly.

Onyx ROM : AOKP vs LineageOS

Hi,
As OnePlus is not updating anymore Onyx since last november I'm considering installing a custom rom.
For now my choices are on AOKP and Lineage OS.
I want something light but secure.
I don't need billions of features.
Does anyone has experienced both roms on Onyx and could give some feedbacks ?
Thanks a lot !
Regards,
Lineage is simply no go.
I think GZR are most stable ones.
There is a minimal feature build of jdc available on afh you can try that, imo it is the best nougat based rom for onyx at the moment(may change once pa hits the market).
Try Tesla from the thread here if you are looking fir stable 7.1.2 ROM

I will have a look at GZR.
I never heard about it before.
What's wrong about LineageOS ?
Big Update The King SultanXda Might support onyx.
So whenever his N based rom is out it will be the most stable and complete rom for onyx(he is the best dev out there).
I use XenonHD: fast and stable, ok for daily use, no bugs, tristate ok, updated near monthly. About 4h of SOT.
I red that there's network issues with most of N roms for Onyx.
Is it true and anyone has experienced it with GZR?
Sultan is great but...

I'd rather get Tutorials from Sultan than wait for him to develop OPX ROM - I appreciate he is just trying to survive like everyone else.
He's great but I have to be able to understand & do for myself. I can't afford ISP but would pay SultanXda to put out Tutorial Videos using OnePlus X as an example device, so I could learn from him.
Can't wait for anyone, its too dependent better to learn for myself & teach others so they can be independent too.
I went back to OOS 3.1.4 there are too many apps I don't use on it but I like OOS Style just wish I could remove unwanted google apps get security updates on it at least

Sultan's overbooked...
Someone is going to cook a Sultans's lost within a few weeks.
You will have a basis if you want to work on it...
Hoops, here in fact !!
Anyone has tried aokp nougat nightlies? Are they stable enough to be used as daily driver?

Best Custom Rom For Redmi note 4? [Dec Update 17]

Guys I am on miui 9 but I want to swap to a custom rom. So which will be the best custom rom for the device (Indian Variant) till the date (Dec 17)? Testers and devs please reply. I hope this will be a useful for new users too on XDA.
There are tons of Roms to choose from...
Currently I'm on LineageOS 15 unofficial build by @abhishek987, this just Rocks.
About nougat Roms? Yeah, there are already bunch of Nougat Roms.
Bugs?
NOMMUCH, but the flash color is yellow (just an FYI)
I think Oreo is not ready just yet.. I am on RR and I enjoy it a lot! Alexey provides unofficial build frequently, and they have absolutely no problem. Everything is great, and if you need customization, it is the way to go. If you want a near stock experience go for LineageOS, 14.1 or 15, tor choice.
I would like a LineageOS based rom. Then What will be your suggestions on L14 Based stable rom? And I am recently following your Index of The device. Thanx in adv mate @sachin n
Yeah I am a Big fan of RR. Is the RR 5.8.5 stable? Cause i saw on the thread saying that It is Final but status is still Testing So If you can suggest me any stable nougat version of RR with link then that will be so much helpful and bugs in short if there any. Thnx you man in adv. @ToRt1sher
Ii has been incredibly stable for me. I think 0 crash/ random restart since day 1! I am on the unofficial build, which does not have a dedicated thread. But half the post on that thread refer to the unofficial one. The only bad thing is that there are 2 different builds, each with different LED notification driver. If it doesn't behave properly you will have to flash the other one, but that's like, a ten minute business.
Is this the Rom's link you are talking about?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/mido/
Please confirm if. If it is not then kindly share the link @ToRt1sher
@sachin n which kernel do you use with Linos 15 , stock or somthing else
Stock only
I recommand los 14.1 It's very stable, lightweight and you can root it without losing ota function...everything is fine!
This is the official. It is certainly very good, but outdated by 2 months. Alexey just made a final build a few days ago..
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329064493
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617949855
These are the 2 builds, with different LED drivers. Try them out, pick the one that works with your specific device.
Crdroid and resurrection remix
All the ROMS are crap here.... some form of bugs are present.. If you want to live with it, use them. If you are going to use BHIM for online transactions then rooted phones are not supported. Better to use official MIUI rom which has most of the features.
@viewedit Did you try magisk hide or root cloak (xposed) to use bhim? works on my slim rom?

Lineage & Lightrom Rom's on Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Hey guys, I hope all are doing fine.
I'm wondering guys if there is any way to get an official Lineage OS rom for Samsung Galaxy note 8!!
All that I found are the unofficial one's and I don't know if it is safe to use or not!
Another thing is the Lightrom OS that I found in our site here, but I found those two things, which are Rom and Kernels!
Should I install both of them or only the Rom enough to do the whole thing, I mean it will also install the Kernel too!
Those were my thoughts and questions, appreciating your helps in this, and thanks in advance

I doubt we will see Official Lineage OS as it requires too much work and the developer does not have the free time. The source code is posted on the thread so if there was anything dodgy in there someone would pick up on it, especially by now. Lineage 17.1 does get monthly builds for the security patches via OTA. If you're interested in flashing it you can get the latest builds here - https://images.stricted.net/lineageos/greatlte/
I can't comment on Lightrom as I believe there are a number of Lightrom's and I'm not sure to which one you refer to.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness reply, I will see about the lineage, it is the one I trust in more in terms of open source Roms.
As for the Lightrom and my question about it, it could come on any other Rom, I mean in general if there's a Rom and a Kernel should I install them both or only will do the whole work (I mean by that it will install both Rom and a Kernel in a single installation process), in which I doubt, but just want to make sure, because it's my first time thinking of installing custom kernel.

Happy to help.
When you flash a rom it will flash the kernel too at the same time.
