IDK about Unlegacy but Firstever seems pretty good. I had a LOT of random reboots, especially when returning to phone after it had been on bit inactive for a bit and had gone into standby like state. As soon as I tried to open anything at all it would reboot, once it was finished restarting apps that run at boot it would operate normally, actually it was very fast and I had no issues save for one.... My Bluetooth had connection problems. It would search and find devices, could be searched and found also, and would save found devices. But it wouldn't pair. It would ask to be paired once it located devices and you picked one, but it never paired. So, yeah, IDK, bit Bluetooth wouldn't pair with my N5X. But I also never did any scientific testing, as in I didn't even check any other devices to see if it would pair, so it would have been my N5X for all I know, but I doubt it. Anyway, other than that, it's great. And the random wake the handset up from it's sleep mode type of state problem somehow just corrected itsrlf in time as I was personalizing the ROM with Substratum. It now runs unbelievably good, date I say better then ever!

Unlegacy 9.0 by amaces is the best Pie ROM right now.

First posted updated again new pie ROM uploaded on XDA happy flashing floko ROM
@[email protected] May I suggest moving the outdated, unstable, abandoned or inactive first roms to the bottom of the first post in favour of all these new stable and active ones?

Adding the repartition guide to the second post might be a good idea as well since most of these new roms need System to be repartitioned to fit any gapps package.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...epartition-nexus-5-repartition-t3844395/page8

As well as mentioning that with MagicGapps module for Magisk you can install any gapps package without needing repartition.

And maybe these instructions to get EdXposed and gravity box working might help someone as well:

1) Download latest Riru-Core and install in Magisk Manager: https://github.com/RikkaApps/Riru/releases
2) Download latest EdXposed Framework and install in Magisk Manager: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases
3) Download latest EdXposed Installer and install apk: https://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases
4) Download latest GravityBox [P] and install apk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v9-0-0-beta-1-android-9-t3908768
5) Enable GravityBox [P] in EdXposed Installer app and reboot.

I've personally tested it on UA and it worked great.

Guys if anyone tried any of these ROMs, please post the feedback in this thread. We have so many ROMs but not all of them have separate threads. So it will be helpful to others who want to try them. Remember to mention the name and version of the ROM.
