PIE Rom recommendations - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hello guys, I have recently fixed my zuk z2, and I am a little behind the new custom roms based on pie. Can anyone help me with some information about them and with a revomandation. I would prefer something stable and fluid.

I'd suggest Arrow pie and aosip pie. They both rock. However aosip has less customisation options available

Bootleggers is also excellent in battery life.. it also has lots of customisations. On the other hand Arrow OS and AEX is also very good... With Arrow OS getting faster updates (weekly)

If you want fluidity and smoothness without any animation shuttering then go with pixysos. Its buttery smooth like I'm using any pixel device. Battery is also decent. I'm in love with pisysos.

Pie rom with good battery life??

Also lineage 16 very good

AEX the best rom for our device no one can beat AEX.

MSM extended with lots of customisation that no one can beat

Try Aosip & Aex 6.x
I personally like Both ROMs are very stable giving great battery backup in compared to all other pie ROMs available right now both gives 5-6 hrs of SOT and They are quite good in pubg but they slightly lag sometimes (I have the stable wifi connection ) but the gaming was decent it gives 3-3.5 hrs of continues gaming ?? With nameless kernel

Freedom OS 2.8, bluspark kernel. wih 4g heavy usage, giving me 4-5hrs SOT constantly. and in wifi/light usage , 7-8hrs SOT always. Loving the current setup.
Pheonix AEX by itself... has a great kernel and easily gotten 9+ SoT in the last two battery cycles. Has all the customization you'll ever need built in and has the best OOS camera port. Just give it a try, it wont disappoint.

Phoenix AEX
Phoenix AEX probably

I'm running the unofficial Pure Nexus ROM with its included Sultan kernel. It's good in my opinion.
Use unofficial Pure Nexus ROM with its included Sultan kernel. It's good ROm, stable ,bat. friendly
Thanks guys. I will try Vertex Now, I have EAX Phoenix, but it's a bit laggy...
I gonna try Pure Nexus when it's stable enough. (I see posts about lags).

Well, reduced small cluster max freq by one step. Rest all as it is. Agressive doze is OFF. Somehow feels that keeping it ON drains more. /Contradicting/
Tried naptime initially, but with and without it, the duration is more or less the same.
I am also looking for a great ROM.
Is official Resurrection Remix the "best"? It has all features of the other ROMs?? Good battery life and stable??
Official kernel?
Or are there better ROMs or kernels and if yes, which are the advantages?
---------- Post added at 11:42 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------
I personally don't know, why to use a Oxygen OS based ROM? I think, it has no features and not much customization and nothing great? Or am I wrong?
xXx no limits rom with bluspark kernel is a beast. Camera is my priority especially video recording and no other rom could suffice that. Very stable ofcourse.
Rom has inbuilt performance tweaks and is super snappy. Ofcouse I tried plenty other roms especially for camera, sulan's rom phoenix aex rom and many more , they manage to take good photos almost as good as OOS but none of them could match video recording smoothness of OOS especially in 1080p 60fps. Tried and tested a lot. And with my usage I easily get around 6 to 7 hours of sot with excellent performance.

But Oxygen OS based ROMs don't have many features, I suppose.
I am trying Resurrection Remix at the moment and it seems to be excellent.:good::good:

ROM Choice for my Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus

Hi everyone. I've been looking for a ROM for my ZUK Z2 for quite a while now. I've been using ResurrectionRemix from May to August. It was OK I guess. No lags, the OS was pretty stable. Then, I went and tried AEX. I can say with confidence that I didn't really like the ROM because of bad SOT and heating issues. I tested PixelExperience (Smooth but a bit slow charging).
I am looking for a buttery smooth ROM on Android 7.1.2 (Facebook, Messenger, social apps) and overall snappy animations. I am looking for a ROM with an average SOT of around 5h30-6h. Finally, I would like to have a bit of customization, no heating issues and pretty stable. PS: I'm taking away Jaguar ROM (not kernel) from the list of choices because of the flashing process
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...reviews-guide-newbies-guide-to-t3701803/page4
That thread still doesn't help me make a choice. I already read it btw

You have lot of options.
IMO I am using AEX 5.2 rooted with stock kernel and helix engine to balance battery and performance.
Enjoying my experience. No lags anywhere and able to get 6 and half hours of SOT.
Thanks,

Yes. You can download it from one plus forums. It does a really good job. It's an accessibility service like greenify. But it implements the dynamic control of cpu profiles.
Helps me get more SOT and giving me a good control whenever I need more performance.
You should definitely try it out
My suggestions
Nougat-Miui 9,h2os,viperos
Oreo-aex, pixelexperience, basically most Oreo roms are similar in terms of performance and battery, have charging issues, not as stable and bug less as nougat ones.
jaguar os

BootleggersROM very stable
I would also recommend bootleggers ROM. I am using it as my daily driver and I am immensely satisfied with it. I highly recommend to you this ROM.

While I wait 72 hours - Help me decide with ROM to install

Ok, so I am waiting the frankly ridiculous 72 hours to be able to unlock my Mix 2. Help me fill the time with chat about which ROM I should install.
I would like a stock Android Oreo experience with no bells or whistles. Is there more than one option, or should I just go with Lineage 15.1?
If you like stock oreo with no bells or whistles: Definitely AndyYan's LOS15.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3761585
If you like MIUI try the Community Roms from xiaomi.eu, i use there Roms for over 5 Month, and im happy, they have Stable and Weekly Roms.
Is there anyone who tried Lineage 15.1 from AndyYan after xiaomi.eu ROM? What about fluidity and battery life?

I'm on it now, battery and fluidity is as good as the other custom ROMs. Just less features.

Thanks for reply. I have no idea why, but I had some random micro lags in Facebook app so I i got an idea to try something new.. For God's sake.. We have awesome phone. Lags, even micro ones aren't allowed XD

Gets really bad when battery is low, the lighter Facebook apps on the market are quite good with smoothness, just not as good to look at.

Best AOSP ROM as of now?

I'm not a big MIUI fan but until the initial 72 hours go by I'm stuck with it... However that doesn't stop me from looking into all kind of AOSP ROMs.
I know that I'll have to test and try them all myself, but I'm curious what all of you are using and why.
My biggest focus is definitely battery life (screen time more so than standby) and I'd love it if any of you could give me numbers on this as well.

Resurrection remix, OmniROM, and LineageOS all share code trees. The differences between them should rally just be the minor feature set differences. I personally use LineageOS, but that is just because I like Lineage.
RR from Arasthel is awesome, just very very bad battery life.
OmiRom, not as smooth as MIUI, but better battery life than RR (but slightly less than MIUI)

Funny you mention smoothness compared to MIUI.
I find MIUI to be a laggy mess.
So.. it seems Omni is the place to be for battery life?

They're all pretty much the same, Battery life is subjective.

is your device full or has 100 apps running at the background? Miui is very very smooth. If your phone is clean then something wrong is going on with your miui. Some people complained for problems after ota update. A clean install solve the problem.
To add to what @papavales is saying, check what apps have autostart enabled. Great feature from MIUI that gives you great control over resource hungry apps.
I've swtiched from MIUI to Omni weekly builds and Im surprised how good this ROM is. I find xiaomi.eu laggy like hell last time...

Had some time to run the battery through its paces yet? Debating on whether I should go with official or unofficial builds here.
Official would mean hassle-free OTA, but unofficial (judging from the changelog) seems to be better tweaked for our device?

In my opinion WEEKLY are better, but thats mine. More stable and in my example more smooth (?)
I've settled for unofficial lineage os for the time being (now that I'm unlocked I need to try them all) and I'm just so happy to be back on AOSP after being forced to endure MIUI for three days waiting on the unlock permission...
The recent screen and notification shade on that thing just kill it for me.
Back in MIUI 4 and 5 they still rocked more or less clean versions of these but everything that came after just ruined it for me.
