Dear all,
I think everyone will say that your ROM is best but let the reality tell you the truth. I think we should make a vote for the best ever ROM here up to now then everyone can decide to use it and the orthes must improve their ROM again to compete.
I think after 01 months (maybe 02 or 03 months) we will vote again to choose the winner here.
What do you think about this?
P/S: I think firstly we can list down about 10 favourite ROMs here then we choose the best one? In the other hands, we can ask the voters for the reason why they decide to vote and hence we have a list brilliant features and someone will build a BEST EVER ROM based on these.
because seeing the ratio of releases from our cookers we should vote at least every 3/4 days
and after all, preferring a rom over another is only matter of personal opinion
it's so difficult, I've tried every single rom in this forum, and even with that on my side is very difficult
All are Good and All are bad.. hahaha
I think firstly we can list down about 10 favourite ROMs here then we choose the best one?
Is it a boring topic? Everyone?
Yeah, great idea, but maybe should confirm some index first, such as stable, speed, interface, multiple etc. In the meantime, you should provide some software tool to test.

Yes, i think we should do it
Wonderful thread. Indeed this is the missing link in this ROM forum.
I have found gtrab Pure Update Ram released Jun 13 very stable. No bugs actually. Will vote that on my list.
i vote for smaberg's 10.0 touch X extreme
i tried alot of roms
even some early roms for smaberg
but his last rom by far , most stable, fast
and do everything as it should be
well good idea.. but y dont u start so long and put the most important ones 4 now on the 1. post...SEX1, WCX, Kid DC's, Touch X, Touch It, Energy Rom Jacks and so ooon... mayb even as a poll? and if 1 is missin we can always add...
I'm getting the N6 tomorrow and it'll be my first rom device in over a year. I'm looking for a rom that's fast, smooth and stable. Features and customizations aren't important as performance and battery.
What do you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Obviously what your suggestions here are going to be biased towards the particular user's experiences.
It's like coming to this forum and asking need a phone suggestion, everybody will suggest a Nexus 6 because it will be biased. My recommendations would be look at all of them (or the ones that interest you) and give it a try.
That's my most unbiased answer. If you're looking for a biased answer then it'd be Chroma because it's a ROM maintained by me and I'm quite passionate about maintaining and providing updates with the newest and latest things that I personally find useful.

There's is nothing wrong with recommending your own product. The fact that you took the time to post your opinion is awesome. I know asking people's opinion on roms can be kind of tricky, But It's nice to hear peoples mini review and opinion even if it's, Because they use the Rom.
Question, Do you have a video or tutorial on your Rom, I'm going to run with it, But would like to know more about it and it's features. Thanks!

Certainly there is nothing wrong with it but it feels dirty to lead someone onto another person's benefit. I respect honesty and am a honest person by heart. I try my best to give the most unbiased answer to others.
And absolutely, there are two video/reviews of the ROM although they are on older builds of the ROM. You can see a newer updated feature list on the changelog https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c7wNrT0khaipv-M0Z35OPQ8sxPHO-e9-Rk945fo4iJE/edit compared to the date of the video/reading.

I'll suggest you to use Parandroid Android with Fraco Kernel
Best thing to do however is to try out a few roms and keep the one you like most. It all depends on your preferences and usage.

@J.Guido85 Your ROM choice will come down to your preference. Do you want a minimalistic or feature packed ROM? Chroma will in fact give you the most features along with some of the best performance/battery life available. Rastapop will offer you a very light feature set as it is a very minimal but stable ROM.
If you're in fact looking for a ROM that will give you the best features & performance on the N6, Chroma is definitely among the top N6 ROM's in terms of great support, features, stability, and battery life. I've been personally using Chroma has my daily driver ever since flashing it well over a month ago, it continues to impress with every update.
I have a YouTube channel with a lot of Nexus 6 ROM overviews you can check out if you want here. I update weekly.

You do realise that performance and battery are opposite ends of the same scale? And that bias towards one is bias away from the other? Also that every kernel can be tweaked to bias towards either as much as you want?
Basically I'm saying they're all the same if you know what you're doing. Choose based on features then tweak to performance OR battery
I am gonna root and install a ROM tonight. I see dozens and I'm not sure what the major differences are. My old philosophy has been to pick the ROM that has the most thread views or posts.
The things that are important to me are stability and performance tweaks. I don't want much of the developer's personal customizations if possible.
Also, any tips before I get started? Thanks in advance.
just so you know, the most popular roms are usually the furthest from the best. popular does not equal best. my recommendation is either rastapop rom or terminus.
Rooted and installed my first rom in my nexus. Pure shamu. Awesome ROM, stable, quick and sufficient tweaks.

Can you tell me why you chose those two?
Chroma ROM.
The best advice anyone can give you is, try a bunch and decide for yourself. No body but you is going to know what is best for you. Read the ROM threads and see what users are saying. That's the best way.

rasta roms ive been running for years. its built by a very good friend, and he does lots of the actual coding himself. probably the cleanest roms around. terminus is also built by a good friend, he started learning 2 years ago, and he does it well. but he doesnt really code. but its a good rom nevertheless. terminus includes more tweaks than rastapop.

What do you need help with?
Also Chroma is based off Rastapop with some elements of terminus, not too many as I've drifted the ROM to other sources. Pretty clean as I go through everything and use test builds on a daily basis.
I ran across Purity ROM a few days ago and it's really good. You won't find it here though. Search Purity on Google plus.
Lots of really good ROMs for the nexus 6 though. That's why I love having a nexus.
SinLess ROM is smooth like butter, not very much customization as AOSP ROMS tho. If you are looking for a lot of customization, then the roms mentioned above are very nice.

What is the most popular ROM for the nexus 6 that is stable and has a lot of goodies under the hood? I like CM12.1 but too many reboots on incoming calls and the unknown call history is a mess. Looking for a rom that is good and has some custom options.

There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are YOU running on your Nexus 6??? thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.
For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
A good rom for features is Chroma
When will people stop making these threads?! As the user started above, best is defined by each user. Download them and try for yourself... You have nothing to lose.

Hi all,
So just looking for opinions here...I just got my OP3T and am looking to change from the stock OOS to something else. However, I need something that functions more as a daily driver. Sure I could go LineageOS and stick with what I know from my OnePlus One, but I'm looking to try something different.
Sure I OOS Beta isn't different per se, but I like what I've got with OOS stock so far, but I personally like being on a beta...it's fun.
My experience with Paranoid Android was only with my old HP TouchPad, but what I did experience, it was very good.
So I can't decide, so I'm leaving this one up to the votes...have fun!
I've been on the Beta before, and right now I'm using PA. Personally, I prefer PA because it's so well-refined. The only thing is that you can't really use a custom kernel unless it's specifically made for AOSPA; whereas the OOS Beta you can use any stock-compatible kernel. But if you want something stable but customisable and such, I'd go with PA.
Also, OOS has the forced DM_Verity thingo and I always find that painful to fiddle around with.
What kind of amazing topic is this???
Try both buddy.
I would go for AOSPA, simply because stock Android is better than OOS and with PA you don't loose your camera

Of course I'd try both...if I had the time between school, work, and traveling for work. I just want opinions from my fellow XDA folks.
Normally, I'd love to tinker with both (and I have in the past with other ROMs), but hence why I'm asking here....extreme lack of time.
Everyone is busy. And yet most of us don't need to make new threads or polls to decide what ROM to flash.
The best ROM for you isn't determined by a popularity contest. It also shouldn't be a decision left to strangers that know nothing about your preferences or how you use the phone.
In the end, how you feel about the ROM when using it, is going to be the sole determining factor about whether you like it, stay on it, etc. In light of that, asking strangers isn't much better than flipping a coin.
There are a ton of resurrection ROMs here, so somewhat feels as if you're limited to either stock or Paranoid Android. From all accounts I've heard, PA has exceptional battery performance. It's a good ROM if you aren't into heavy customizable features ROMs like RR bring. Carbon nightlies are out as well. If you're strapped for time. I wouldn't suggest RR or any other ROM similar. I don't usually use stock ROMs, so I can't clarify for which camera is better. I know PA camera doesn't appear to have the ability to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ration I've found that out from uploading videos to YouTube. PIE settings has been updated from your old days of using PA, but it doesn't have a ton of options allowing you to change anything. It's very barebones in my opinion. I'm not sure if that's how PA wants it or if they plan on adding more to PIE settings. PA also has a theme engine feature different from other ROMs. Once again, I'm not sure if that's correct or not. Considering nowadays I don't heavily modify my phone. Development around here seems to be stalled a bit. I guess most of the devs have got the OP5 now.

What is AOSPA exactly, what is it built from? I know what LineageOS is. And what do you mean by not losing camera, can you still use the official one?

AOSPA = Paranoid Android ROM, fully CAF based
with "loosing the camera" I mean the quality. Oneplus never released their drivers for the camera. All photos taken with a custom rom are not as good as with OxygenOS. Paranoid Android Devs created own drivers resulting in excellent picture quality.

Sure no different flipping a coin....if you have a coin that will give you some pros & cons. Hence why I asked. I've got plenty of preferences, what I like, don't like, etc. Didn't think all that is something folks want/need to read or hear...as you said and I said, we're all busy.
HOWEVER, I only ask as I want to hear what folks may have to say in terms of pros and cons here. Sure I can find that on sites all over the place, including here. I simply didn't find anything specific comparing these two ROMS here.
So no...not really a popularity contest, my bad on the wording if that came off that way. No need to get a tad salty my friend.

Nothing "salty" was posted by me. There is nothing insulting to you, or even close. Just stated basic facts. But I do find it frustrating when folks resort to insinuating that they were somehow insulted or slighted, when someone merely points out simple truths they didn't want to hear.
You're still missing the whole point. The "pros and cons" are completely subjective (and not objective) between one user and another. The whole point in having all these ROMs, is so you can find one that works best for you as an individual.
By setting up a "majority rules" type poll, you are also robbing yourself of potentially finding the "hidden gems". I've had instances where the ROM that worked best for me, was not one that was particularly popular. And also instances where the most popular ROMs caused me some problems; not due to any fault of the ROM per se; but more due to the nuances of my particular local cell provider.

Sorry, it just came off that way. I was a tad surprised since you've been pretty helpful elsewhere as I've seen. No harm, no foul. :good:
I'm not completely missing the point since I've narrowed it down to OOS Beta or PA. I've looked at others and these are the two that I've narrowed it down (based on videos, posts others have made here and elsewhere, etc.). I've worked with LineageOS on my OnePlus One, but I need something that's just a bit more stable.
I'm sure when I have the time, I'll take a look at others, but I'd prefer not having to keep switching between ROMs if I can help it.
Perhaps maybe I'll have to...who knows.
I just switch back to open beta from PA. They're both very good ROMs. Honestly, you can't go wrong.
