Most of the bugs are fixed in them.

AOKP also is good.
AOKP also is very stable, some problems with video recorder on some models and FM unfunctional in l36 variant, but in general is very good.

Android Open Kang Nougat Version works well. I am using it as my daily driver. Radio also works now in India, VoLTE works. Only video recorder doesn't work. There are few strange audio bugs but better using Nougat which gets new builds almost every day than stay stagnant on lollipop with no official updates.

Very good news, but unfortunately this support is regional, perhaps the FM chip be different between some models. In the Brazil, radio not work.

Difference between the two :
~ Aokp
- Antutu Benchmark is lower than Aicp
- Buzzing sound during boot needs to be stopped manually
- Phone gets over heated on even little usage
- VoLTE is buggy
- Stock file manager does not read SD Card
- Battery drains very fast
~ Aicp
+ Antutu Benchmark score is higher as compared to Aokp
+ Buzzing sound automatically stops after boot
+ Phone does not get over heated quickly
+ Volte works pretty well
+ Stock file manager reads SD card
+ Battery life is better as compared to Aokp
That's all i found between the two, hope this info is enough for you.

After some configurations, i need reinstall AICP when choose custom notifications (dark mode) with Substratum (DNA Theme). The system no more showed home screen (interf. init. error). Only with new clean install this problem disappear.
But... this problem can to be of DNA theme and no of AICP ROM, but this configuration run perfectly on AOKP, however, in ModernUI Theme, exist one configuration (Two Columns in Configuration screen) what only runs how selected in AICP.
In general terms, i liked of AICP and is my new choice for use.
Sorry for my poor english, my language is other.

Any suggestions for a minimal rom for Zuk Z2?

I was on JDCTeam at 7.1.2, I tried other roms, but they spend a lot of battery even on idle. I tried 3 roms stok, qfil, but they are very heavy, 1.5gb, full of Chinese apps that can not be uninstalled, dialer, contacts, message ... I do not want the Chinese government seeing my data, enough NSA .. I tried to go back to JDCTeam 7.1.2, but the gapps do not open. Now I'm with the 8.0 stok, playing PUBG is very bad, even installing the PUBG Tool the game is full of lag, unplayable. I wanted a small rom, those of 450mb or less, with gapps pico preinstalled, google settings. No battery-draining features, no special launchers, no themes, no wallpapers ... Just the androi stock, like the one that came on the Moto X2. Maybe with the Utouch configuration that comes in the ZUI. Could someone do this? A lot of people just want a simple and light rom. I would like some suggestion of a rom "android stok".

Hi, did you try? Your feedback pls.

I did not install it. In the page asks to install another file before, but does not explain well as.

Getting a minimal ROM below 450MB with pre-installed pico gapps ain't possible for our device.
But cleaner ROMs with very less features :
1. Lineage OS
2. Jaguar
3. Cardinal AOSP
4. Arrow OS
Other ROMs are there may be which I've never tried.
Note : AOSIP is a good ROM but not minimal, it just 1 step behind RR in terms or customization & features quantity, according to your preference I believe you won't like AOSIP.
Also, less size of the ROM file may not mean it has less features & apps. Deodexed ROMs are smaller than odexed ROMs but may have more features & apps pre-installed.

I used Jaguar, it's very good, but it uses a lot of battery. I would go back to JDCTeam 7.1.2, I used it for a long time. But now when I flash that the gapps do not work.
I am now using the stock rom rom 8.0. It's a really bad rom, watching youtube in the chrome while charging the battery makes the apps stall and close. The pubg can not play anymore, because of the legs, nor gfxtool help, is a very poorly made rom. I wanted an Android Zero, a simple rom with google services. But I think I'd better learn how to make a rom.

This is cardinal AOSP that is suggested above. You'll probably like it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/development/cardinal-aosp-t3782004
Also search a bit online about "magisk " "Google service doze" "aggressive doze"

Lineage OS and Pixel experience are good for a minimal ROM

I installed cardinal os. The open gapps still not working.

Any suggestions you do not need to install open gapps? This thing does not work ..

I finally got it. The problem was the open gaaps, it crashing into any rom. I installed MindThegapps and it works fine.

List of roms with "Novatek NT36672" touch screen module support so far.

UPDATE: There is a telegram group with latest nightly builds of genom kernel, they are mostly stable, there may be a couple of ussues with some of them (like phantom touches or random battery inefficiency), however you can find kernels that support our touch panel in android pie, and oreo roms, and they run butter smooth compared to stock rom, (thank you rama982 and all contrubutors to Genom kernel). Just download a kernel build you like, and then flash it after the installation of rom. genom_ci
It has been an issue for a long time, since Xiaomi refuses to release kernel sources for this module (or so i been told), anyways, many people encouter the issue with touch screen that doesn't work after flashing custom rom (screen flickering, response lag e.t.c). This issue was brought up in this thread, however there is no answer to a question that excites most of "novatek" owners that are here - "what can i actually install of all roms". I decided to make a list of roms that happened to avoid this issue, i hope this will help users like me, so they don't have to spend literally weeks stalking, testing, looking around at all sorts of places only to find another rom that doesn't work.
1. This is the easiest one, all MIUI roms that are available for our device are working flawlessly, official global roms, custom ones, they all work (i personally prefer Revolution OS MIUI 8.10, since it has an option for the chinese bloatware and spyware to be removed, and i find it the fastest one).
2. Almost all nougat roms ( the ones that are based on android 7.1, (and maybe 7) ). Or at least 95% of them, i had issues with some of them, but it's okay that some roms are less stable than the others, you will have to find what works best for you.
3. As far as i remember, all roms based on android 8, 8.1 DO NOT work with our touch screen, except the ones that were mentioned here.
4. Who wan'ts a piece of a pie? I think everyone, but not all of us can get it, since there is only a couple of pie roms that work with our panels:
Aosp extended 6.0 (only 28/10/2018 release so far, developers told that they will fix it but they didn't so far, this release is pretty stable and snappy though).
Dirty Unicorns 13.0
(I really like the esthetics of this rom, and a philosophy that stands behind it, but release is missing some important features for me personally.)
lineage-16.0-20181115 (As stable as aosp extended, or even more. Perfect rom for a new user that doesn't care about a lot of features, and just wants to do basic stuff without any bugs and crushes) (IMO)
GZOSP from Here, it's even more simple compared to lineage, but a a bit less stable.
Thanks to rama982 we have Nitrogen Os, it works fine, things are strating to change. (Live a like to Rama982).
This list is potentially suitable for EBBG touch panel users, but as i have no device on hands to test it, i can't say anything about it. If you are wondering wich type of touch screen you have, you can dowload AIDA from play store, or any other "sysinfo" type of app.
That's all. I hope this will help you, it's the smallest thing i can do, as i love the community of this place even more than my morning coffee.
P.S. If i missed something, you can comment down below, or send a private message, we all make mistakes.

Try LOS16, Havoc, or Bootleggers - or try the latest Genom kernels.

I tried out AEX 10-28 for a couple of days. i went back to xiaomi eu beta for full screen navigation. i also opted for genom eas nightly for miui. i think i'll stick with this setup for a while.

In case anyone is interested, nitrogen os is working great on my ebbg display

i've tried pixel experience like @jharone23 said and it's working fine. i also installed genom nightly and it runs smooth. i think they worked out most of the kinks for novatek panel. i haven't tried the 12-31 build of the rom yet. gcam v5 works great. i also installed gcam v6 for better back cam low light and i'm satisfied so far. no problems with gps and lte. no network drops on wifi and data. i have mine rooted and installed kernel aduitor, also installed blex and youtube vanced from magisk repo. google backup works like a charm. played ro mobile for 4 hours straight on wifi. everything is great. note for benchmarkers, you would get lesser score in antutu compared to xiaomi eu rom with genom. i used to get 84k score with that setup but with p.e. and genom i only get 80k with performance setting in kernel aduitor. overall a 4/5 stars for user experience just because i was accustomed to full screen navigation in mi eu rom. A 5/5 stars in stability kudos to p.e. developers and genom. i won't be flashing any other rom for quite sometime as my current setup is stable enough as daily driver. maybe t.s. could include rom in the list. thanks jharone23 for the tip.

Well "stable".
It is kinda weird. Got two G5 cedric, flashed LineageOS on both. Seems to work well for one, does not work well for the other one. Camera is a little troubling, as it seems to put most colors in a 1024x768 frame in the upper left corner of the image while the rest of it is pretty much gray or free of colors.
Flashed OmniROM on the other one then and rest assured, it runs way smoother (at least on that one G5). Only issue is that apps keep crashing without reason. Esepcially Nextcloud App. Start it up (hope it does that before throwing an exception), try to log in. Even if you manage to log in, you are promptly greeted by a crashing app
This is also true for an app named "Quizduell" (guess that is a german thing only). Googling for the thrown exception too often point to the ROM :|
Perhaps one of you can reccomend some other ROM? I'm running the ROM without any of that Google crap and if it is not rooted at that point, I flahs Magisk.

Best STABLE ROM for daisy?

Hi,
I am planning on repairing friend's phone (screen), and while i'm on it I would also like to de-google it = unlock + flash a custom ROM + microG. I did so on lavender using LOS 17.1 and except slo-mo and some minor location issues i'm very happy with the result.
Now, the thing is that it's possible that this phone will be used by my mom (if my friend will be willing to sell - for him it's a "in the drawer" phone).
That's why my priorities are for the ROM to be stable, reliable and maintained/updated (OTA preferrably). It would also be great if it was based on AOSP 10.
I'm not looking for "fireworks" like extreme customisation, gaming options etc.
I am taking into consideration:
Havoc (main candidate)
crDroid
Bliss ROM (although 10 Q is considered a beta).
...and in andvance I'm sorry for being a bit lazy and not using "search it for myself" method, but I think that for some of you it's a quick answer, while i would be digging through xda for days
Thanks

Just tested all 3 of them a week ago.
My personal opinion:
Havoc +++
crDroid ++
Bliss +
If I'm correct, OTA currently only works on bliss tho, but bliss currently using an outdated kernel so I recommend to wait for an update.
crDroid dev might fixed the OTA with the last update.
Even tho there's no OTA built in havoc, I still prefer it over the others. But this could change in a week, who knows?

Apart from stability, is there something worth recommending in regards to battery life? Are there custom ROMs that provide at least the same battery life as stock?

for me the best custom rom until now is this version: Bliss-v12.10-daisy-OFFICIAL-20200801

Wifi: works fine for me.

I am in this exact same situation: I am waiting for a screen to be shipped to repair a daisy phone, and I would like to degoogle it. Unfortunately, the least painful method (installing LineageOS for microG) is not an option because this device lacks official LOS support. So when you finally go for it, I would appreciate if you would comment the steps (which ROM with signature spoofing support you choose, how do you install/flash microG, how you install/flash F-Droid...).

I'll have to give it a try, thanks!

Hi,
I'm back - finally fixed the phone ...and now I'm "building" a degoogled device for my mom.
1) I saw that Bliss Q-based is not a beta anymore - that's good ..and it has OTA. I'm taking it into consideration.
2) On the other hand I would prefer crDroid (IF ...IF IT HAS OTA - can anyone confirm?)
3) No about Havoc which was my #1 until now - if it has no OTA (again, confirm? thanks ) it a big dis for me. BTW: Is manual update a pain-in-the-A? If it's as easy as downoad and flash via TWRP that's OK, but anything more on a longer term might be ...bleh ;P
@doragasu: If I install and degoogle my daisy I will tell you all about it. On lavender I had to follow a video on YT (microG + LineageOS), EXCEPT new microG framework is BUGGY (e.g. crashes when you try to go in "Location modules") so you have to install older version follow instructions, and when (as far as I remember) you install at least ONE location module, you can update framework.
Now, microG is NOT perfect - e.g on Telegram push notifications sometimes were missed (on Telegram X works fine), and location EITHER works 100% (GPS, WIFI, GSM) or 0% (still working on low-accuracy), although I rarely use location so it might take a while.
EDIT:
Ok, guys I think I'm gonna need some help :/ I tried to install Havoc 3.9 and I followed YT guide from here ( v=GylCEL_Xf_M ) but when I got to the flashing of the rom all i got was ERROR 1.
Help! ...i might figure it out myself, but maybe you know what's the deal. If I try to flash Magisk, all OK, but ROM, just
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
...and it's exactly the same when I try to flash crDroid 6.10.
I'm clueless :/
Thanks
