I use it as my daily driver. My Z2 has been running the CM11 nightlies since the day they were released for the phone. What are you wondering exactly? I just saw the CM11S thread, but I'm not interested in it. If you're wondering, here's the CM11 downloads for the Z2: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=sirius
M9 is out I think. It's the stable version.
Can anyone please tell me whether the active noise cancelling (not only the microphone noise suspension, but also the one that works with the special sony headphones) will still work on Cm? I hate to lose that feature as it's pretty much the only reason why I bought the Z2 over others.

It is already expected that Sony proprietary technologies will not be available on AOSP releases unless Sony decided to release its source codes. There maybe decent alternatives such as x-Loud vs DSP Settings but still not comparable to Sony's current setup.
How is CM on the Z2 now? I've been waiting for awhile to try it out as some people seemed to be having some problems, there was a lot of talk of bugs with it.
Well I've been using CM Nightlies since they came out and I can't go back
CM is faster, you have ART, the sound mixer is allot better, tones of CM themes on the play store... etc...
With stock Sony Rom you have noise cancellation but the sound with those headphones and equalizer is bad I have to say. The X-reality is quite nice but unfortunately only works with the Sony App Album witch I personal don't like.
The only thing that I miss is the camera that in the Stock Sony Rom is better... but for the rest CM rules big time! :good:
How's the battery life on CM11?
Better than stock especially is used with ds battery saver on xposed
Im using the one plus one cyanogenmod ROM for the z2 I love it but it constantly crashes :/

Camera. I had an event to added, needed my camera in top shape, didn't want to take my S4 along. I believe camera still performs best on stock. So dats why
Camera performs exactly the same imo, just doesn't have as many advanced auto modes as stock camera

The difference between the pictures you take in CM and stock is huge. I went back to stock because of this too.

Me too... I would love using CM, but the camera isn't just the same as stock (even on manual mode). Probably CM11 is using old camera drivers?
Recently flashed the M9 snapshot on my Z2 but have been running the nightlies for a while.
Very responsive and snappy usage and comparable battery life to stock (power saver not permitting).
Agree with the others regarding poor camera quality. Fidelity not as high in CM and slower 'shutter speed' than stock which sometimes results in blurry photos.
Otherwise very happy. Will continue using as daily driver.
I hope they can correct camera issues when 314 sources are released.

Flashed M9 release last night and having an issue with data/wifi. When I'm on wifi and either go out of range of wifi or turn off wifi my cellular data doesn't work. It says I have LTE but data will not work until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Am I missing anything here?
I flashed latest 17.1.2.A.0.314 prior to flashing M9 to get latest baseband. This is on Tmobile LTE.
I have been using it as my daily driver since it was available. The only issues i currently have is that when my phone is docked in the Sony docking cradle thingy and i remove it the screen stays on as-in i have to manually lock/turn off my screen,it doesn't auto-lock. This only happens with the dock not with the normal charger. The second and final issue i have is the lack of the 4K recording feature, but then again that is not an issue for me at all,since 4k is completely pointless for me at the moment.
Apart from the above issues,i LOVE CM11 and will never ever go back to stock.

There are so many varied and out of date opinions on this and then so many people that are just guessing, so I have to ask.
Are either 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 completely stable? I'm getting that NONE of the 4.2s are stable at all and that they're experimental at best. Is this true? If so, is 4.1.2 the only stable ROM right now? I don't get a kick out of the phone FCing on me when I try to edit a photo or something.
Thanks for any clarification.

Samsung - stable
AOSP - not 100% because lack of sources, but OK for a daily driver.
Sent from my washing machine using xda premium
AOSP ROMs will never be as stable as Sammy-based ones
Ok, I think my question got a bit misconstrued. I get that a Samsung ROM is always more stable since it's the base of this phone's OS.
But therefore...
- 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 BOTH stable on Samsung.
- neither stable on AOSP because of lack of sources
Is that correct, then?
And by stable, I mean that I just want a camera that works with all features, can save to the SD card, no weird crashes from using basic phone menus and functions (volume, notifications menu, etc)

no, samsung 4.2 is not stable, like I said.
by your definition of stable, AOSP 4.2 is stable
Ok, I see. In which ways do AOSP 4.2 ROMs fall short then? I know they obviously don't have Samsung apps like S-beam, smart TV functionality, NFC, etc. But is there something that's always 'broken' on AOSP ROMs?

Jelly Bean stable?
I recently bought a galaxy s3 and had flashed the 4.2.2 jellybean update. it worked great, no crashes and ran smooth. On monday it notified me that there were two stable updates. I updated both one at a time with TWRP and flashed. It seemed ok all night. In the morning when i plugged in my USB flash drive with my OTG cable the screen just went black. Now it doesnt do anything. It wont even go in to download mode. So i guess i the 4.2.2 was ok but the updates werent.

That's because you don't know what stable means.
Stable means... Does not reboot constantly. Does not freeze constantly. It runs stable.
You are talking about broken features. Camera is easily fixable. MMS, well if you want MMS, go back to Smasung ROMs.

Ok, well that's true, that's why I'm asking these questions.
So do 4.2.1, 4.2.2 AOSP have the same level of stability?
Is 4.1.2 considered something that's MUCH more stable at this point?

Its hard for me to Quantify.
I only used Smasung 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1 Then AOSP 4.2.2
I dont use MMS so the fact it doesn't work properly is no big deal for me. It force closes when I try to attach a picture. I am not sure about receiving MMS (As I say I dont use it).
For me, AOSP - everything works great. More stable to me than Samsung ROMs (less bugs) except MMS which i do not use. Actually I find AOSP faster too.
I do not use the stock AOSP camera. I never had problems with it but some users did. But i replace mine with the camera that has more functions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
What I would say is, If you think you can live without MMS, give it a try. Dont mess with overclock / undervolt and see for yourself how fast and stable it is.
If you really need MMS, Maybe it is not worth the test. I am not sure how apps like Go SMS handle it.
In conclusion, I find AOSP faster and more stable than sammy. But I dont use MMS.
I hope this helps somewhat
Yeah, it does help. I can find another solution for MMS (GoSMS Pro, etc) but I don't want basic things being broken. Like I just found out there's no mute on this ROM for audio. Somebody mentioned something about not being able to silence their ringer. That's something I can't be flexible about. I guess I'll look for an AOSP other than temasek.
I like paranoid android myself. Definitely silences

Any thoughts from anyone on MIUI?
I have been jumping between a few ROMs for a period of time now and finally decided to stick with one which I think is stable, fast and gives the best battery life by far. I admit I haven't tried all of the ROMs out there, also people have different set ups and use their phone differently. So please take what I say as a recommendation only, and I mainly wish to share some of my experience as I know how frustrating it can be to choose a ROM out of so many choices. At the end I also want to share the MODs I have been using and how I have personalized my device, hopefully will help someone out there.
Note: I didn't use the same MOD for all ROMs! See more explanation below.
ROM
Just to make it clear, I wipe all before flashing a new ROM. I don't use any kind of backup software, yes that is right I don't, call me insane But the result of poor battery life or restart/FC should not be caused by these factors. I also install about the same app back (give a take a couple which I don't use often) after a flash. I also use the same set up for all my ROMs e.g. Auto brightness, screen on time and etc.
STOCK
I have been on stock LG G2 ROM for about 5 months I think, there are some nice features and I have to say it is probably the most stable ROM out there.
But for me, I experienced a bit of lag here and there.
I think many out there will agree with me, when I say the ROM doesn't have the best UI design. I would recommend installing Xposed Installer (xda) and G2 Xposed (play store) and make some modifications yourself.
The battery is ok, last a day for me and ends up with 30% on a good day (often below 15%).
The biggest feature for me is the knock code to unlock device, I do miss it.
I didn't compare but the Camera app is better than Google Camera (opinion, didn't test).
CloudyG3 v1.3
Used this ROM for about a month, stable enough for daily driver.
Some lags when using the phone in general. Animation slow down is the main reason I decided to go with another ROM.
UI looks much nicer than G2 since it is based on G3.
Can use G3 TweaksBox to tweak UI like you can with G2 Xposed, but most features will require you to pay. Which I did, but don't think it is worth the money. Most changes require you to reboot to see effect and it is buggy.
Again knock code is a plus, better than stock ROM I think.
Slightly better battery than Stock but not much better, I would say about the same. Been using the same MODs since.
Camera is also pretty good, on par with STOCK (opinion, didn't test).
Mahdi-ROM 09/20
This is a very popular recommendation, rated the most stable ROM. But it is the opposite for me, phone would restart and FC.
Some bugs listed on ROM page. This doesn't affect me, but may affect some of you.
Very similar to CM11, a lot of options to tweak, too much in my opinion.
Battery life about same as stock, again the ROM wasn't stable enough for me so can't possibly have amazing battery life. Same MODs as I have now.
No knock code.
ParanoidAndroid 06/28
This is my current ROM, glad I decided to try it.
Very stable, haven't had a single FC or restart yet and I have been on it for weeks.
This is the fastest ROM, I don't notice any animation slow down at all. Ok a few times with the keyboard I am using but pretty sure it is the keyboard app.
Amazing battery life. e.g. 10 hours since unplugged, 2 hour screen on, 76% left.
Has double tab to wake, but no Knock code
Good amount of built-in customization
MODs + app suggestions
Twilight app (or something similar), for less harsh light on the eye when reading at night.
Google Now Launcher + Xposed GEL Settings, I like the Google Now being included in the launcher itself.
LiOn Tamer (AKA Unbounded) to stop wake-locks, just install and then done no set up require.
Silence app, which turns phone silent for those who work at from 9am - 5pm.
Calendar + Calendar Mute app which turn phone silent for those who are at University with odd lecture times.
Hello there, I have been looking for a thread like this for a while, how do you think they compare to other major roms like Vanir, Eos etc in Speed/ performance etc??
are you running any custom kernels? Art or Dalvik?

Unfortunately I haven't tried all the ROMs, so can't give you any suggestion on them.
As for custom kernels and ART, I have been using whatever comes with the ROMs. The result on PA is so good (7.5 hours screen on time with 22% battery left), I never found myself in the situation of needing to tweak anything. Kernel is generally my last choice, because it is a lot of trial and error. The last I tried ART was when it was still in beta, I should really give it a go now it is more stable.
Can you provide a link to the 26/8 PA rom? Can't seem to find it in the PA thread cos there are only other dated roms. Sorry for being a noob cos I've never flashed aosp on my g2. Or which release did you use or would recommend?
Dont you miss the Qslide apps on stock roms? or the Qremote? (I use it all the time)
and thanks for sharing the expirience... I myself decided only to root the phone in the case that it won't be getting Android 5.0

When I first switched to AOSP roms I missed them a lot. Fortunately there is a mod for the quick remote but none for Qslide. Either way you'll find yourself not needing Qslide after some time.

I tried Qslide on stock, then never used it again. For me spliting the screen in half means i can't see much of anything. I think it might be useful when you get used to it, but I never really got used to it.
I never used Qremote because I don't own anything which requires a remote.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

Thanks man. I did try it. After restoring sms, the Android. process message kept popping up, and reinstalling from beginning was a bit too lazy by my side.

Nice write up! I used Mahdi, PA and CloudyG3 and agree with your comments. I'm currently running cloudyg3 and would like to add a few notes to those who are interested. Disabling all the animations does speed things up for me and the dev made the G3 Tweakbox features all free. PA is my second favorite ROM, super smooth and stable. If camera was better on PA, it would be my daily driver.

I'm really interested in trying the G3 rom. I've been using stock on this phone since I got it and I really love the built in features and stability. I've come from a long line of Nexus ownership and have a Nexus 7 2013 for AOSP support + latest updates.
I was really worried about the stability of the G3 port but feel a little more confident reading your review compared to other roms. Paranoid Android was always fun too, I just never tried it on my G2.

Yeah G3 Rom are very stable only some hiccups when you have too many apps open, apart from that everything is pretty good. Camera is normally the main selling point for most
Also I think going from stock -> G3 ROMs -> AOSP is a pretty good way going about it.

now adays with recent builds the flashlight can be ON but can't be turned OFF until reboot.
Is there a way to have old cam drivers back in my Z2 or a different solution?
I trust the xda community will help.
waiting for a fix or a hint
Thanks

I think this is a firmware issue which would be addressed by Sony themselves in next update. However, have you tried using any other camera app ?
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
Good Luck

I feel like sony will never address this issue because it's not affecting all phones.
but i certainly hope they do
i have tried google camera and as soon as i tried taking a picture the flashlight was ON and stayed that way with no response at my attempts to turn it off.
tried in safe mode but no luck, i tried clean installs and what not but nothing works.
the only solution was a downgrade to firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 which helped me conclude it's not a hardware issue.
thx for your help

I am afraid Sony is not very good with ironing out bugs and releases their builds prematurely. Have you tried any custom ROM by the way ?

I have not tried any custom rom yet because i wanted to stick to stock only.
what would you recommend as a stable and bug free custom rom with quality camera app?
are there lollipop custom roms with perfect camera app and flashlight toggle?
thanks

Generally the stock provides the best camera quality in Sony mobiles, however, when they are buggy like in your case, you can try other roms like CM12.1 or AOSP or Pac man.
You will need an unlocked boot loader and some know how about flashtool for that.
Also, custom roms and kernels depend on user. Some user want performance but some like me want more battery life,and thus tweak our phones accordingly. Once you get used to custom roms, you hate stock. I move away from stock within 6 hours of a device's purchase. So it depends what you like. My personal favourites are mentioned above .

I do. I'd hoped they at least fix the camera HAL, but it seems they're not capable of that, not right now at least.

I'm going to try and work Sultans HAL into the ROM I'm working on eventually so that will be nice. Its obvious they can't seem to do anything besides make false promises

Yeah, I'm very disappointed. The worst is that this is not happening at all for the OP3 -- there's a vibrant stream of two-way communication with feedback coming in and updates coming out... but with the X there's just this ****ed up silence and indifference. They didn't even try to apologize for taking 4 months to release a half-baked update with just a few fixes...
Useless update...just ignore as OnePlus is ignoring us.
Anyone else facing this issue or not but when I am trying to install OOS 2.2.2 from either team win or from standard recovery it keeps gets failing and deletes my files previously I had rooted Oneplus x and twrp installed I removed root then falashed OOS 2.2.1 but it also didnt bring back recovery so i installed by flashing recovery image using twrp but after tht still no luck and updates keep failing

You have to get back to stock recovery in order to flash the Ota 2.2.2

Incredibly disappointed at the lack of Marshmallow. I saw the update and thought, this is the one! But no.
I just tried attaching the .zip but it's too large.
Phone does not accept update 2.2.2 I want to help
The stock rom is much better regarding mobile data. I had always ridicilous slow transfer speed with CM or AOSB based ROMs.
Also with this ROM you can:
* Use Chromecast -> Mirror your Phone screen on TV
* Use the free speech in whatsapp without any problem
* Improved Camera quality. Not the worse 4k patch noise crap from cyanogenmod which wont work properly. (effects, hdr etc.)
* No LTE problems
But sadly there is still the vibration during call issue. Its such a shame that oneplus is not able to fix that massive bug. Really bad developers there. The X is my first and my last Oneplus phone. I try to sell it but its hard to find an idiot who will buy this. Ebay is full of offers...

Same here! LoL
I tried to sell my OPX too, but no luck! Because people already knew that OnePlus closed all of their "service centers" in Indonesia. The lesson is: Never ever buy a stuff from the unknown Chinese manufacturer without a physical present in your country.
Updated my X to 2.2.2 and after 2 days the most annoying bugs are still present:
1. Lag when I try to wake/unlock my phone
2. The proximity sensor is still buggy (shortcuts opens during the call)
I don't have YouTube lags
The battery consumption seems to be normal
Video camera is way better
Unfortunately I will go back to Hydrogen OS. Disappointed!
The last update is wonderfull. A very stable Rom with smoothness updated. (I'm using it with boeffla kernel and haptic vibration during call is disabled in kernel setting ). The new camera seams to solve the fps issue in video, and photo quality is top notch as it was always been compared to custom roms. Signal is through the roof, download speed is unbeatable. I'm waiting for the mm version. Nice work so far.

Update was as underwhelming as the previous iteration...camera tweaks not impressive, not interesting....went back to H2OS....

Any videos about how to flash oneplus x E1003??

Hi, I would ask if there is a very vanilla ROM (not CM), similar to stock, but without Google Apps

I'm pretty sure you could flash AOSP itself. It's stock, but theres no Google apps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/caf-6-0-surnia-t3250165 this was the first pure AOSP Marshmallow ROM available, been using it for almost a year now & its 100% stable.

Hey @cmason37, thanks for posting this as I'm always searching for those elusive MM 'Stable' Roms I would like to try that rom, however, the above link has been disabled. If you could repost the link that would be excellent.
In the meantime I'll scrub the world wide web for this file, thanks

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

My apologies you guys for not getting back earlier. I've been fumigating for bugs.
Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.
