[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
But it's stable. Most Oreo ROMs aren't. And returning to stock could be a real mess if you don't have a persist backup.

And about customizing: There are things like substratum themes and tweaks or Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings when you are rooted. I have my device customized as I like it.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Cupcake 1.5:
Nitrogen Os is the best in my opinion.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pastorbob62:
Not that I have discovered. I have customized my phone as much as I desire and have not seen any problems. It is also very stable. The only issue I ran into was I kept losing root with SuperSU, until I installed ElementalX, but if you don't want a custom kernel you can get around that by using Magisk. And Magisk has numerous modules for customization.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] SRocks281:
I had a rooted phone but only gravity box is the customization available..

Substratum was not available too..

So I had to take this choice

Nothing against the stock
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] TGHH:
Root your phone, get a custom kernel and a set clock speed to max all time. Keep installed applications to minimal. If you don't care about battery life - that's the way to go! :D I doubt big differences between the current ROMs. In some ROMs the animation factor is set to a smaller value by default. This improves responsiveness and display speed.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Dubzyr:
Stock the best.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sinchan_nohara:
How??
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
What do you mean? Stock ROM performs well and the title of this thread is "Best ROM for performance".
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Illegalactivity:
I have tried alot of different ROM's and I personally like RR the most. It has *alot* of customisation, more than others.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] TGHH:
I had the Nougat version running for quite a while - descent ROM. For my taste too much options. ?

Now I'm running FrankenROM which works pretty well. Right mixture of customization and very good battery life. No lagging, it just works. But I wouldn't expect any of the current ROMs being way faster than the others.

To get a faster experience you should tweak the factor for animation speed in the developer settings. Then the response is faster.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sinchan_nohara:
True Performance is same in all custom roms bettery life may very from rom to rom and with your uses i personally get best battery backup with nitrogen os and ace kernel SOT is usually 8.30 hours to 10Hours on all day LTE.

stock rom can never match performance and bettery life on custom roms.

Its all comes down to your personal preference. performance is somewhat same in all the roms but NOS is my bias.

TWRP to ZS620KL (snapdragon 845, 8/256GB)

Have you unlocked the bootloader ??

is it same as zenfone 5 2018

If yes then share the method
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] jakubdg:
Yes I have unlocked bootloader. I used official asus apk

Then downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-X00Q-20180508.img

Next fastboot flash boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - I saw Bootloader Version is empty :(

Now I dont know how I have older bootloader version WW_user_80.11.37.53 but I do not have twrp.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] isthisadagger:
Edit: Please use my updated guide:

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-5z/how-to/guide-zenfone-5z-how-to-root-downgrade-t3815877

Here is what i did to root the 5Z ZS620KL:

1. Download the unlock app AND the installed firmware from asus:

download

2. Install adb and fastboot

download

3. Copy the app to the phone, start it and follow the on screen instructions > bootloader unlocked

Warning: When booting the phone you will now see a warning message!

4. Unzip the downloaded firmware and use a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. I used payload_dumper.

download

5. Copy the extracted boot.img from payload_output folder to the 5z.

6. Download magisk manager app from the officiall thread on xda, install it and use it to patch the boot.img on your phone (install>install>patch boot.img)

download

7. Copy the patched_boot.img back to your computer (the original boot.img will be approx 65mb the patched one approx 19mb)

8. Start your phone in fasboot mode (hold "power + volume up" to switch on your phone). You will see "FastBoot Mode" in red letters on screen. Connect your phone to the computer using the usb cable.

9. Open a command line and check if your phone is recognized by executing:

fastboot devices

You should see the serial number of your phone.

10. Change to the path where you copied your patched_boot.img and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to your device:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

11. Start your phone from the fastboot menu using volume up/down and power to select.

Bugs/problems:

- You will see three warning messages while booting, at least i do. One for the unlocked bootloader and the next one comes twice saying "There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." which you have to confirm.

- I used the latest stable Magisk V16.0 + Manager V5.8 and Magisk hide is not working. It does not save the apps marked for hide. Maybe some write error?

[General Questions and Answers] emepher:
What do you do if and when unruly ads pop out from the left side when you scroll down, covering the forum links you want and prevent you from clicking on them? I experienced this a bit here but lately it has gotten out of control: I go to the device forum I need, scroll down a bit, and an ad pops out (often Ooma Office, but certainly not always), and I have no way to close it. The ads cover many links completely, and those that are partially covered are still inaccessible. Anyone else experiencing this or am I somehow alone? The same problem occurs in the Windows desktop versions of Chrome and Firefox, at least.
[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Can you take a screenshot of the ad on the page next time it happens?

We try to prevent these ads from making their way into our ad system. We don't have direct control over which ads are shown in the forums, and a few bad ones make their way in.

if you can give us a screenshot and let us know wich page you were viewing at the time, we can try to have it removed.
[General Questions and Answers] emepher:
I've mainly been using the Axon 7 forums recently, so this is where I've had this problem the most, but I don't think it is limited to that section. The pop-out ads I see the most are for Ooma Office, sometimes for Lending Club and I think at least one other. Sometimes refreshing the page results in the same ad displaying. As I scroll down, the ad first appears small, as it should, in the left margin, but it pops out as I begin to scroll down. Links inline with it become unclickable despite being partially visible. Scrolling down farther does not cause the ad to shrink back to where it should be. This has been happening for at least a couple months but seems more frequent lately.

Still on 7.1.1, (Google edition? Bought on eBay and not really sure because oem unlock is greyed out, no Verizon apps though) wondering best way to get to android O/P with the bootloader unlocked. Should I OTA then try the Verizon unlock method? Or try the unlock method on 7.1.1 then flash a android O/P rom/modem/baseband etc? Got some reading to do....

Any other tips would be appreciated as well, thanks for your time.View attachment 4545658View attachment 4545659

So if your Button is greyed out... It's a Verizon variant.

https://www.facebook.com/IsMail.AmZdak reach out to that guy and donate what ever you can and ask if he can bootloader unlock your phone. it doesn't matter what version of Android you're on.

Once he unlock your bootloader proceed to downloading developer preview 4 and run flash all command.

Once it has finished flashing Android p the phone will then reboot let it get to the main screen and then reboot the phone and put into bootloader mode.

Download TW RP image and run Fastboot boot ( twrp image ) and wait for it to boot twrp. When you're computer reads the phone, drag and drop twrp installer into phone and the install. Reboot to recovery >> flash magisk >> boot up

The switching by SW only does a reboot to phone module (not do device), but appears a message stating "SIM card changed, phone will be reinitialized) and then the mail account disapears.
