@Xaif started this thread, then get too busy and abandoned it (it seems he does update it occasionally), then @abemore continued the thread, but also abandoned it after his N5 died. Now I decided to maintain this list. I'll try to keep this maintained for all of us with a N5 that's still kicking :).

Sorry for the long time between updates, my N5 is having wifi issues so I'm trying not to wipe my device very often, making me forget about this list. Another factor is that there aren't any new roms coming out, just updates to existing roms, so it isn't that big of a deal if it isn't updated that often.

Issues on All ROMs:
  • Bluetooth Calling audio bug (I haven't tested this as I rarely ever make or recieve phone calls)
  • Face Unlock crashes when you try to add a face (Fix can be found here)
  • Video Recording issues (A fix can be found here, but i cannot confirm if it works or not as my camera is messed up physically)

I know this question has been asked many times in the previous two threads, but since this is a new one, and for people just hooking on it...
To the date of January 10, is any 8.1 rom stable enough to use as a daily driver or are we better of with a 8.0 rom?
And which would better suit the needs of a only device daily driver?
I'm currently on DarkRom Nougat and looking for a similar experience on Oreo.

Is first ever android project ROM working fine???
Are there any issues?
What about the avg. battery life?
I actually just switched over to FirstEver and I've encountered no problems as of yet. I'm not too sure about battery life as this is my second day with the rom, but it at least isn't outstandingly bad.

FirstEver is currently the most stable I've tried and seems to be stable enough for a daily driver. I've not run into any problems with it, other then it's slow for about 30 seconds after you turn it on, but is plenty fast after that.

[201801-09] First Ever Android 8.1
by FirstEver
XDA Thread:https://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...xus-5-t3705084
Note: Pay attention to the installation guide as it isn't as easy as download and flash.
All you have to do is copy the ROM folder to: Phone Memory \ TWRP \ BACKUPS \ {Phone ID} \
In TWRP open Restore and select First Ever ROM, one more swip and done - it cannot be simpler :)

You should try liquid remix 8.5. I haven't encountered any bugs other than recents activity lock isn't working for me. Batttery life is great for me. I get 3 hr SOT. And man the kernel! There are so many governers. I have been using it as my daily driver for about a month now and no problems at all.

Does it have same kernel with all those governers?
We don't have the governors but we have some MPdecision-replacement and some schedulers are still there! We can now also control the volume gain but I'm not sure if the settings stick after reboot and/or do anything at all(EX kernel for example has the settings but are useless)
