Hello everyone. I was just wondering what people were using for a good performance custom rom and kernel. Atm I'm using the stock pie software and NSFW-Kernel 25 custom kernel. The phone keeps freezing on me and rebooting. Not sure if this is because I'm using custom kernel with stock os? Thanks for all the help I've gotten in this forum on my rooting adventure, you all are the best and I appreciate it.
Custom rom?

Pixel Dust for Pixel XL
This type of clean install has always given me the best results for performance and a stable phone no matter which custom ROM I try.
I'm also using Pixel Dust ROM with it's own Kernel. I also wipe the phone and clean install everything from start, not using the restore feature. I sync Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between the phone and MS Office 2016 using MyPhoneExplorer (free App). Phone history and texts are not transferred but I keep a copy on the PC through MyPhoneExplorer.

The best way to find out is to start flashing ROMs and see which one you like best. What I like or feel is the best will be subjective. Try them all and see what fits you best.
Thanks for all the feedback. I was thinking of trying lineage os, but I don't think v15 is pie and v16 that's based on pie isn't out yet I believe. Also was gonna try the elemental x kernel.
That kernel is good if you are on stock. It can act odd on certain ROMs other than stock.
