With Multirom I now have CM12.1 Unofficial, ColorOs and CM12S. I have no idea which one I like best. But I seem drawn to CM unofficial. More features and on 5.1.
[ONE General] ivangotoy:
CM unofficial 12.1 stock kernel , LMY47O android-5.1.0_r5 - latest and greatest and definitely my favourite. Acceptable battery life and performance. Needs some polishing due its nature being the bleeding edge but that's not a show stopper for me.
[ONE General] Itay2108:
As for now (and the next few weeks) I'm on Cyanogen 12s & stock kernel.

smooth as butter, and getting 6-7 hrs SOT while before I was getting hardly 4 (on various lollipop ROMs, XeHD, SlimLP etc.)

EDIT: switched to franco and now getting 9 hrs SOT !
[ONE General] itsamoreh:
Euphoria 1.1 with the default kernel. Just installed a couple of days ago and I'm loving it so far!
[ONE General] supaduparimy:
I have always used Mahdi's final release (4.4.4), because I just couldn't handle Lollipop no matter how amazing it is, but recently, I tried out Euphoria 1.1 with Ak's 213 and I got to say... Ball'n... Super smooth! My daily driver :)
[ONE General] Jamesr1292:
would you find that this is because of both the rom and kernel or one over the other??

im curious to know because i have cyan 12 with the stock kernel and im not happy with the battery life since flashing
[ONE General] signinscreen:
AK Kernel for sure.
[ONE General] DrNinjaa:
I'm strongly against labelling a rom or kernel as best or worst... but want to share my opinion.

If u r happy with stability and decent battery life(around 8hrs of SOT) but no problem using a old kitkat ROM far away from the lollipop spearheading development (may sound boring to many).... give a try to the last kitkat slimsaber build by [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]... I can say it for sure... U'll always come back to it as the ROM to the rescue and just No Tension ROM.

stock setting for the kernel?
[ONE General] s8freak:
The best Rom and kernel is the one that you like and works best on your device.

In my opinion this thread should be closed
[ONE General] NOSTALGIA:
should not be.. this thread should be each ones own preference..

everytime i open xda i always tend to watch this thread.. in this thread you will know what others are using and what roms are best for them, thats why you wanna try them out as well..

but of course...

do a nandroid first..

Official CM12.1 Nightly x Boeffla Kernel

Snappiest Combo Ever. Highly recommended✔
[ONE General] s8freak:
You made my point. Read research and flash find out for oneself what works best. No need for this thread. My opinion
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
This thread is needed. People want to know (hence the 50+ pages).

Instead of making countless threads EVERYDAY about what's the smoothest , snappiest, and best battery efficient ROM/KERNEL, we have this thread.
[ONE General] s8freak:
Nah not really just do some reading make a nandroid and flash away.

Find one that suits you and roll with it.
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
You're right. We should do some reading in this thread, see what's the most talked about ROM & Kernel and flash it.
[ONE General] SABman12:
Which is the best combination for good battery life + stability? and without bugs of-course..
[ONE General] nikeman513:
What is the best kernel that you've experienced on cm12s? I heard AK isn't sable on 12s and I really like 12s. First time I've never had problems with my phone in a long time.
[ONE General] Maynard100:
Hi,

Im currently using CM nightly 18/04 with AK, and so far so good.

But I'm tempted to use ZaneZam Boeffla kernel. Should I proceed?

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Which boeffla you are using? ZZ or the original one?

Are you tired of using AK?
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
I use both lol.. I'm currently trying to figure out which is the best. I've come to the conclusion the original version is snappier (kinda sure) and ZZ's version has smoother scrolling (pretty sure)(Ubertec version). Try them both and let me know if I'm crazy or not lol.

As for AK, great all around kernel. But it never has that snappy feel that I like so much.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Depends on what you're looking for..

Battery or Performance.

If its performance, Boeffla! You'll notice the difference immediately.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

The ROM with the best battery is usual the one optimized for our device, CM12s (my experience).

As for which kernel for stability and battery, its very hard to say.

All kernels can have great battery life If you mess with the settings.
[ONE General] NOSTALGIA:
you take your chances by flashing roms... we cant suggest which one you should use.

its still user preference.

what i like is something that you might not like.. so go and flash at your own risk..

and always do a nandroid...

current build is COS12... Getting what i wanted...

So far So GOOD...

Cm12s + AK have been quite stable.
[ONE General] Maynard100:
Ok thanks a lot and appreciated. You are one of the folks I notice that changed ROM everyday so you know very well the differences which one is snappier. Are you still using CM nightly?

Just flashed ZZ boeffla and so far so good. Can you share your profile settings?
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
Thanks man. Conservative and Noop.

Very smooth scrolling.
[ONE General] Maynard100:
Only 2 settings? I also use your previous AK profile. lol
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:

Latest CyanideL is FLYING, and everything works (apart from native ad blocker, though adaway works fine).

Bliss has also been good recently. Both with zz boeffla u600.
[ONE General] erikasnoske:
Cyanogenmod latest nightlies (official, but unofficial is alright) + AK kernel (experimental) with undervolted CPU and other tweaks, Calculins fixed google services, my own improved Viper4android flashable zip for CM12/CM12.1 with addond.d support, cameranext modded (the new one), CM12 wifi fix, UKM (for AK kernel) and probably that's it :P

Missing xposed framework on 5.1 - doesn't work with lucky patcher xposed module... :/
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
I can't lie...

Cyanide (Ubertec) is the fastest CM12 ROM out. It's amazing how snappy this thing is on stock kernel!

Make sure you turn "animation duration" in settings to 0% for best performance (Cyanidemods> Animations> System Animations).
[ONE General] MurdererFight:
CyanideL is fu***** awesome!

Really really fast!!
[ONE General] pablitob:
After using cm os 12, oxígen, with different kernels and xposed modules, I'm staying with blisspop rom, it's smooth and fast and stable. And I love the customization.

[ONE General] Setting.Out:
CM12.1 by [MENTION=2040569]jgcaap[/MENTION] is super fast, battery friendly and has smoothness to spare.. Its inbuilt kernel is near perfection.. I love flashing new ROMs, but can't seem to switch from this goodness.. ;) It is very actively developed and continues to improve..

oh, so it is not Nuclear but NuCelaRom, clear now! Thx

EDIT: so there is not doubt it is very fast and smooth rom (last version), but there is a lot of FC of system UI when battery saver is on and also FC of apps even in normal mode + few other bugs which I did not experienced on other 5.1 roms. Anyway thx!

My Lollipop Roms Experience

I've been using Lollipop Roms lately (without Multirom) for settling down to one (Though #NeverSettle) :p

I want to order those used Roms as per my personal choice and preference.

(List in Best to worst order.)

1. Exodus

2. Blisspop with AK KERNEL

3. CyanogenMod Nightly

4. Cyanogen OS CM12s with Render KERNEL

5. Euphoria OS 1.1

6. CyanideL 5.1

7. Oxygen OS

So far I have Used these 7 Lollipop based Roms and settled for EXODUS . I love it!! It is my new favorite! and it also gives me better battery backup without any support of other Kernel.

See it yourself!! :)

[ONE General] Piricho:
Sorry if this is off-topic but i'm to order an OPO tomorrow after selling my Z3. I previousy had (and still own) a Nexus 4 which i still love, but it's getting slow. I was more than happy with the Z3, but then again not because of the lack of custom rom's and support.

Stories aside, my question is: Am i right to understand the OPO is as rom friendly as the Nexus 4? PA, CM12, Bacon etc etc will work without any major bugs? Also, am i dumb to buy an OPO 1 year after release? I'm not too excited over the OP2 if it has QHD and 3300mah battery. I prefer 40h~ usage over 24h.

Thanks!
[ONE General] cashflip:
wot kernel do u use sir?
[ONE General] europizza:
OPO still has great value for money even after one year and developers' support is second only to a nexus, if not exactly the same.

The only downside is that during summer you are going to miss so badly a smaller phone that fits in your shorts' pockets like you would miss a knife when you're eating a steak and you only have a fork.
[ONE General] Zorachus:
The OPO is still a fantastic device. I sold my original OnePlus One in the Fall, thinking there were better phones. I bought an iPhone 6 Plus, and ditched that after a month. Then I picked up a Nexus 6, and I like it a lot, but it's just too huge, and doesn't feel high quality for $700 price.

I ordered another OPO, put a nice tempered glass protector on it, with a cool aluminum bumper. And I dare say, I like my OnePlus One more than my Nexus 6, and for sure more than the iPhone 6 Plus.

And for $350 LOL nothing comes even close. It sure doesn't feel or perform like a budget phone, it's easily on par with any 2014 flagship, that costs twice as much.

And the wealth of Lollipop ROM's is great. Some really good developers here.

I am running CyanideL 5.1.1 and this thing flies.

[ONE General] mahendru1992:
Okay, so i'm just coming from an HTC One to the OnePlus, having just gotten my mobile today only, and was wondering whether it's worth upgrading to CM12 or the Oxygen OS? I don't care so much about bugs as I care about the battery life. If the battery life isn't good, since this is what I'm reading on the OnePlus forums, then I wouldn't upgrade. But if it's the other way round, or you know I could increase the batt life using apps like amplify and greenify, do let me know and I may think of upgrading.

Thanks in advance!
[ONE General] fogame:
Blisspop or Euphoria?

Which do you think is better?

Currently running Euphoria but half tempted to try Blisspop.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

Currently I'm running Euphoria and have amazing battery life. I get about 1.7-2 days on it. Haven't had any problems with it. I'm also using Greenify too. Works like a charm.
[ONE General] mahendru1992:
Nice! I might as well try Euphoria then. BTW, the 2 day battery life you get, is it all on wifi?

Also, the camera pic quality is the same as it was on kitkat?
[ONE General] fogame:
No it's on LTE.

I'm currently running AK kernel and get about 4-6 hours of screen on time. As far as the camera I'm running the ColorOS camera port. The stock camera was alright but wanted to get the different plugins.
[ONE General] CB620:
I'm on Euphoria and AK....stock settings. Should I try any other io/schedular set up?
[ONE General] CB620:
Also which xposed are you guys using? I would like to use amplify.
[ONE General] venky716:
Was having the same dilemma, tried blisspop briefly and now I'm back on euphoria.

Bliss just felt a bit sluggish compared to euphoria even with all those optomizations.

Not bashing other roms or anything but euphoria always felt a notch smoother.

And no placebo here tested using 'Profile GPU Render' method from dev options.
[ONE General] rrohanjs:
guys do try nuclearom .. its just too good .. running on 5.1.1 and amazing battery life and really stable .. first charge itself i got 7.5 hrs sot

Wakelock Blocker

Can you guys recommend a 5.1 ROM with Wakelock Blocker to me, please?

I really need this feature. Thanks.:rolleyes:

[ONE General] jellowallie:
Can anyone please recommend a non-CM based Lollipop ROM for the OPO that has tap to wake?

The CM12 OTA destroyed my Bluetooth's car functionality, causing stuttering that happens every 5 seconds and frankly I'm tired of it. And yes, it is a known issue: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3275

I really just want to avoid any CM-based ROM in the hope that they don't have that issue.

Thanks!!
[ONE General] CB620:
Just flashed nuclearom. What are you guys kernel setup for this rom?
[ONE General] rrohanjs:
the devs own rom, its there in the op .. currently on version 1 .. getting good battery life with it and its smooth too
[ONE General] molonad:
I tried stock kernel, but for me too slow, i use boeffla kernel little overclocked with zzmove optimal, it is fastest combination i tried
[ONE General] rrohanjs:
hows the battery life with boeffla ? you should try the kernel the dev made, not the the included kernel but its a separate kernel .. not slow at all
[ONE General] molonad:
I tried, test 2, for me is interactive too slow, try zzmove optimal and you will see

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

With boeffla you can use zzmove battery or battery extreme and you will get great battery life, but i dont really Care about battery.
[ONE General] CB620:
For the 1st two what kernel is good to pair with it?
[ONE General] arindam4u:
I was experimenting with Boeffla-Kernel for those ROMs... Worked nice so far for both ROMs (AK and Franco gave me bootloop as those are not supported for Android 5.1.1 till date I guess), but I was unable to find the best setup to reduce the Heating after a little gaming and after a while of Internet access. Thus Moved to default one. Not much amount of Battery backup Differ with interactive mode I must say. :)
[ONE General] CB620:
So you just flashed the rom/gapps and went from there....I am getting horrible life on LP...just want to try something that will get me 6-7 hrs battery sot like KK
[ONE General] napes22:
In terms of battery life, which Roms have people had the most success with? I've loved using Eurphoria Rom however I'm getting atrocious battery life on it (3 hours max SOT). I had much better success battery wise on SlimSaber ROMs but they're at 5.0.2 and don't utilize the CM theme engine (which is my personal preference at the moment).

Which Roms to most consider "battery friendly"? I do understand that results vary from person to person, but my current battery life is making the phone tough to use.
[ONE General] CB620:
Im about to try Oxygen. People over there are reporting very good battery life.
[ONE General] brandonhatty:
If you guys haven't tried Validus yet you should. Silky smooth with no bugs. Not sure what kernel is based on but definitely not vanilla CM. Great battery life, tons of customizations. Top of my list at the moment. I do also really like cyanideL.
[ONE General] rrohanjs:
Are you still using nuclearom? If yes then which kernel would you recommend
[ONE General] DrNinjaa:
I have not at all tried any other kernel except for ak kernel. Reading from the htc mania website(original website of the ROM) people are happy with the kernel that the dev provides to flash.. but I have not tried it yet.. so can't comment on it.

Me too wanted ur opinion.... been following the validus rom site for some time... the last build was on 1.5.2015 I suppose.... they are working on 5.1, as the ROM has no camera..... which camera u use, camera next mod by abhi? Or something different.... also wanted to know did the ghost touches u faced are gone now that u faced?

Heisenberg;

has TON of features, very smooth, rock stable and battery is pretty awesome.

one word: perfect (for me at least)
[ONE General] mastrgamr:
I like ROMs with a lot of built in features, and the least random reboots, I've yet to find the perfect combo but here's my experiences:

With all ROMs I use ak's or the default kernel.

LiquidSmooth

has been one of the best for me. Personally I've had a lot of random reboots with this one. I've used ak's kernel, and the default. I've had better battery with the default kernel. It's as smooth and quick to run as the ROM's name suggests.

Carbon ROM (my current daily driver)

second best ROM I've used, I use ak's kernel the most. Less reboots than Liquid, but still exists. This is my favorite ROM so far barring annoying reboots. This ROM runs super smooth and everything just flows.

Vanir

I've used this as a daily driver for a while to test. I feel using ak's kernel gives the best battery and ROM experience in terms of smoothness and quickness. Although this ROM is very smooth, I experienced countless freezes and reboots. I never encountered freezes until I used this ROM,not sure if it's the ROM or kernel. It also lacks features that I like. It is sort of new to the device so I'll give it time.

tl;dr

ak Kernel (pretty biased sine this the only custom kernel I used)

pros - highly customizable, best performance, stable enough for daily driver, good on battery

cons - not always completely stable(depends on the nightly release you have installed)

LiquidSmooth

pros - tons of (if not the most!) features, highly customizable, smooth/buttery

cons - enough reboots to cause me annoyance

Carbon ROM - Ultimate daily driver

pros - tons of features, smooth/buttery, stable

cons - some reboots

Vanir

pros - snappy, quick rom

cons - freezes and reboots (more than liquid), not a lot of features, feels BETAish
[ONE General] PaoloMix09:
I haven't experience any reboots at all with Vanir. I use it as my daily driver and have no problems at all. Tried Mahdi, Liquid smooth, Heisenberg, but I keep coming back to Vanir. Love it. Using it with Franco r22.

You're not meant to comment negatively about ROMs in this thread, only what you like about the ROMs, nothing about what you dislike (cons), it's all in the OP. I think you need to edit your post.

Maybe I can give franco's a shot. It may be my own set up that's causing it. Don't get me wrong, I like this ROM, this is just my experience I hear

great

things about Vanir and in my experience it lives up to the hype, I'd say it's the smoothest ROM I've tried.
[ONE General] PaoloMix09:
Oh yeah, I understand. At the end it all comes down to personal preference on the builds we use, so it is sorta impossible to say one ROM is the best. Nevertheless, Vanir has been treating me well. :)
