I sold my Note II yesterday and i was looking for a good stock Google smartphone. I owned a G2 for a week and I remember it had a brilliant battery life, but i don't like the LG OS. I heard about a good development scene about stock-based ROMs like Cyanogen. Is that true?
On Note II, because of the Exynos CPU and some lack of development support from Samsung, Cyano ROMs were just a mixed bag of experience. There are some minor issues everywhere and the 2-days battery life of the samsung ROM is impossible to get on CM.
So, i'm looking for a G2 for a quick CM 11 flash. Do you think it's a good idea?
I'm also considering a OnePlus One, but the invitation thing is a bit annoying and i don't think it will be easy to get one.

If you're entirely bothered about AOSP, I'd go for the Nexus 5 or HTC One GPE. If you had asked me yesterday I'd have said AOSP roms are still a bit buggy with issues but I put on OmniRom last night - it really seems the best of the bunch at the moment! Not had any issues at all (But I've only been using it properly for 12 hours or so).

Yeah, but what about battery life?
I'm ok with the 2-days of moderate usage of the Note, and i heard that Nexus 5 and the One M7 aren't very good on battery life.
I used to be on CM 10.2 stable and everything worked fine. Then I wanted to try Kit Kat, but CM 11 was pretty unstable for me (I think I tried the M4 build).
I decided to give stock another try since LG released their KK firmware. I used to own a Nexus 4 and still prefer AOSP, but you can get LG stock close to AOSP.
I use Nova Launcher and with G2 Tweakbox (Xposed) you can switch the ugly LG quicksettings with the AOSP one. CloudyStock 2.0 ROM allows you to remove LG 's bloatware during installation.
There is a GPE ROM for the lg g2.

+1 here, im also using stock kk+nova and deleted bloated apps using TB Pro + using some kernels available(using simple kernel default settings, smooth and battery friendly or if dori's kernel is updated to stable) works perfectly and smooth for me. It gives me 3days of usage when I turn my phone useless and 1 day if I play games for hours which is normal.
CM11 nightlies have been perfectly stable for me over the past 2-3 weeks

I did try cm 11 m5 build, everything working like it should, smooth, less stuttering than on stock. but just can't stand camera. It's miles away from stock

With KK sources released, we should have stable builds.
Although honestly I am loving stock 4.4.2 + root + xposed. I've never used a stock rom longer then a week before. Been running stock since November. Simply amazing.

Thanks for the interesting replies!
Stock KK is tempting me but when i tried i figured that i don't like so much the LG interface

Agreed. Well, Stock + Root + Xposed + Nova Prime + Simple Kernel (underclocked to 1.728ghz) and a lot of bloat frozen/deleted is about as perfect as I have had the phone running. Battery life is excellent for me (40-45 hours with 5% battery left. 60% permanent screen brightness. 5-7 hours screen on time).

do check out the g2 dev forums for the available roms. personally i'm using mahdi rom and ehndroix before that. They are both SUPERB imo.
if battery life's what you're concerned about, for myself the roms average drains around from 100 percent to 70 percent in average of 12hours? (as i'm a light user).
in comparison to nexus 5 and htc, i'm almost definite that the battery capacity on g2 outclasses them both. so battery wise, g2 is good choice. Since my purchase of the phone in november, the dev for roms has been increasing steadily.
G2's definitely worth a consideration
Omni ROM is great for me obviously it's not CM but its got loads of options and is stable as can be really. Just had to change the low memory killer to medium with kernel tweaker but otherwise running as provided.

How much did you used it? Because on every aosp i have installed i got allways reboot problems... Now I'm on stock modded lighting rom is fast like aosp and i have call record also on bluetooth, something that on aosp is missed. But i have to say that those kk stock rom from lg are bugged because you can't disable obexmaptransaction (the bluetooth sms sharing thing) and it drian more battery than JB when paired in car. I use the phone for work so if i have to say wich is the best atm for me is stock JB but KK is lot more snappier, so i'm using this, because i have read somewhere that LG is going to push an OTA to fix those small issue.
Another problem on stock is that when you have to save a contact by default the phone use internal memory and not the Google account, so every time i have to select my account. I hate this because you cant edit wich accounts have to be the default one.
Sorry for my english, i hope to have given an idea based on my personal experience with the roms out there for the D802.
The aosp I have tried past 3 days are: Slimkat, Paranoid and Mahdi both unstable for my use for the frequent reboots...

Yeah, on the Note2 side of the forum there's a bunch of users that say "this nightly is perfect, this custom ROM is amazing" but in fact none of them are perfectly fine for random reasons (camera issues, BT issues, battery issues and so on). I hope that on the LG G2 side there's a different situation, thank to the Qualcomm CPU that i think is better for development.
AOSP ROMs are really good for me on my D802. Now on latest Mahdi Rom with merged 4.4 sources I have 4h screen-on-time with 59% battery left, I unplugged the phone 21h ago. I have 'only 2G' setting and I used a lot of WiFi (Dolphin, FB Messenger, Youtube...)
Generally the ROMs will get really stable on days/weeks, because of LG 4.4 sources.

What? You browse the web on 2G network?
No matter how hard I tried, I couldnt get same battery life (with same usage) with any aosp roms. Stock had always btter battery for me.

Just activate ART The thing is to flash proper Gapps and generally to flash the ROM properly, for me ART is always stable and it gives profits in battery life and smoothness.
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.

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?
Hi everyone,
I wanted to put this in the development section because it would get more notice, but I know it belongs here. I haven't tried ArrowOS for a while due to the build thread being closed/locked. Anyway, I've been playing around with different ROMS lately trying to find an android 10 version that gets the very low deep sleep battery usage that android 9 used to get. So on ArrowOS (android 10) I'm getting approx 2% battery drain per day if the device isn't used at all. Awesome.
I've been using CarbonROM and CRdroid which are both awesome ROMS btw, but on both of these I get approx 8% battery drain per day if the device isn't used at all.
So this thread is really just any FYI for anyone else out there like me, that thought Arrow wasn't still being updated. I've been using it for a day or so, and everything is working great. I haven't included the website link but any search will find it easily.
Hi ! I'm using Crdroid. The rom developer is already working on 11 androids.There is a future.
I can't write statistics. I installed the Hibernator apk. Now the battery is good.
In which version of the ArrowOs did you get these %2/day battery drain?
I'm using pixel experience plus for low standby battery drain. But it is Android 9.

Should have mentioned this first post - I've got the wifi only version, and I use tasker to turn wifi on/off with the screen. No other battery optimisations etc
This weird battery drain start to affect roms from March onwards. Hope the developers nailed down the cause in the kernel sources soon.

Been running carbon rom for a loooong time. If left I lose 4% per day. Not bad at all. That's with WiFi and cellular signal on and always connected, plus Bluetooth. Seems fine to me
Maybe that has something to do with it - yours is 4g, mine is the WIfi model? Are you running a recent build of Carbon, and do you have gapps installed?

Yup, updated regularly with the weekly builds. Have gapps installed. Not too sure, but as a guess I would have thought the 4g+WiFi would consume slightly more power than WiFi only as it'll be searching for/refreshing signal.
Also with the Bluetooth always on, whenever I watch TV it connects and disconnects to my Bluetooth speakers that come on with TV. I'd have thought that would add to consumption too.
Definitely would think that wifi only models should use less battery. Still tho, others have the same battery drain as me.. .

@Wizballs Wow, thanks for the tip! I've been having the same problem, also with a WiFI-only miPad 4. Even with MIUI from Xiaomi.eu had the same problem. I also tested the latest LineageOS 17.1, CarbonROM, and crDroid. They all lose about 5% during 7 hours of standby with WiFI and Bluetooth turned off. Whereas the latest ArrowOS lost 0% during 7 hours. Quite impressive!
There are a few disadvantages though with ArrowOS:
- The system theme color, it appears there should be a dark orange color available (something like #e74e1b) but it is not available
- The AOSP keyboard has no top number row. This is something that crDroid has, also with the AOSP keyboard.
- The default camera app has no panoramic mode. I wish they could include the MIUI Camera app that Carbon ROM uses, While also keeping the default camera, which is better for most things..
- The LED light does not turn on while charging.
Cool I just thought it would be good to share. You are right about no led light while charging, I never noticed before. I use gboard for number row, and Google camera installs from the playstore, seems to work fine for panorama shots. Also haven't noticed any issues with theming, bit I've just left it on default.

I installed it too. Seems pretty much like the last build. Still no LED notification lights during charging or when notifications arrive with the screen off.
Might be enough to annoy some people I guess. I just keep using it because Android 10 plus great battery standby for wifi only models.
I've just installed the official ArrowOS 11.0 build. Dirty flash over AOS 10 successfully. Will test and report back, especially regarding battery life on wifi only model
Reporting back on Arrow 11.0 builds (wifi only model)
- Standby battery approx 3% per day
- OTA update works
- Charging led not showing
- Nutflix not in playstore. Probably side-loadable, but haven't tried

I also just dirty-flashed ArrowOS 11.0 (from 10.x) on my WIFI-only model. Also confirming that the LED does not appear when charging or for notifications. It has settings now to enable/disable the LED, but they make no difference.
lets share our personnel favorite ROM here.
With Reason and short review. so other also can test that rom.
my Personnel Favorite rom is Miui Eu version because of its own taste and MIUI stock features.
PE and Evolution are also Simply Awesome.
Please share your Favorite Rom
Ressurection Remix. Why? It has all the features you can imagine, tons of customization and i got 14hrs of SOT from 100-8% on a stock kernel.
Perfect rom
My favourite ROMs:
Stock Android based ROMs -
1. Resurrection Remix 8.6.2 (God level customization)
2. ShapeShiftOS 1.2.1 (most underrated and unique ROM IMHO)

My favorite ROM is GZOSP. However, since I couldn't find it for Redmi K20 pro, I settled down with another of my favorite ROM, Pixel Experience. But instead of flashing the regular edition, I chose the Plus edition just to get a little bit more customization. The reason I chose Pixel Experience over other custom ROMs is because of the aesthetic and pixel like experience that comes with minimal customizations (I like ROMs with minimal customizations) and some additional goodies from Google. Performance is good as well. Most importantly, the developer of the ROM; Henrique is a good friend of mine and is a very active developer. He takes feedback constantly and try to eradicate bugs/issues immediately.
Miui.eu, because all of the AOSP roms share the same bugs. Such as the home gesture not working in the recents area when you hide the gesture bar. MIUI also has a much nicer status area. It also better integrates with my smart home devices and tells me the battery charge of my wireless Xiaomi airbuds.
Which rom support sRGB color mod?

So what's the best custom miui Rom?
So far i tested a few Roms(EvoX, Aosip, Los, Havoc) and Aosip looks so far the best.
No bugs, no problems (just after 5 months of dirty flasing it got necassary to do a clean install because of random reboots), it seems to be the best optimized and lightest rom but still has enough customization for me.
Beside the good battery, aswell performance feels awesome like chrome scrolling is super smooth (on los and havoc it feels laggy, evox i dont remember).
I dont play hardcore games, but pogo feels aswell smoother on Aosip then on other roms, i just played 1-2 times cod but only on aosip and it was smooth.
May i gonna try AICP next, looks promising too.

Isn't this a bit short ? The shortest possible advertisement maybe.
I use it too, mainly because I don't want gapps and like long battery life. The latest version gives me about 6 days (I never wait that long because I keep my battery between 50 and 80%). The previous version gave me about 9 days of light use.
The last Havoc os unofficial fan service build (26/09) takes the cake for me. This version is after everything got polished up in official so before closing the project the dev decided to add a few unofficial features (like the option to disable night light for the FOD).
The rom is flawless, battery life is great, tons of options, no bugs whatsoever (except for one in the shady launcher where google now feed gets zoomed in every now and then, but that is really minor), the fingerprint reader is blazing fast in this build. All in all, among the best custom rom experiences I've had, and I've had around 10 different devices running custom aosp roms by now.
Also, there is a gapps version of the rom so you don't have to flash your own and them being included means much better compatibility than flashing nano gapps for example.

+1, hands down the best ROM. I'm still using it with NikGapps. ROM is so stable, I don't feel the urge to move to android 11

I also like RR for it's customizations, but for me personally, havoc comes out in top. It's cleaner.
I've just tried Aosip for the week, and it's riddled with bugs. Gesture issues with recents. Wifi dropping out. Hangups in recents. Crashing apps. Average battery life. ?
crDroid 6.10
I've been using it almost 2 months and it has everything I need in a custom rom: call recording, smart charging, blink flashlight, screen cast working, remove location and microphone status bar icons, default launcher (double tap to sleep, icon changer), among other great customizations.
Bugs? I really don't look for bugs, but I was having cracking sound bug in games and notifications, but I fix it by flashing F1xy kernel.
It's a really great rom, its EOL, but I don't need the latest security patches and the same developer is already working in A11 rom, so I'll keep an eye on that.
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.
