I will try the latest Mokee in a few hours and get back to you. Hopefully it's derived from the latest LOS source so it has good battery and stability, but we'll see. :)

Hands on Mokee 7.1.2 31/8

We are getting closer to a bug free experience! The main issue I have with Mokee is that there is no display calibration built in. It's kind of standard these days and in all other Nougat roms. Still, I just had to download FK Manager and root the device to be able to calibrate the display. Other than that I also feel there are a few bloat apps, for instance Substratum and Xposed. I have nothing against the apps per say, but I don't use them. Thankfully they can be inactivated even without root. The only other issue I've found is that the compass is totally whack still, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

I've only tested the rom for about half a day, but battery seems to be very good. Up to par with at least LOS 28/8 and not far from MIUI standards. The phone hasn't even gotten hot under the time I've tested the rom.

About performance, I got 60199 points in Antutu which seems very good for a beta rom. Other than surfing the web and recording videos I really don't do that many demanding tasks, but the whole experience is fluid as far as I can tell.

The stock camera seems to finally be fixed... again. In RR 10/8 camera worked fine, but then in LOS 28/8 videos were very dark and had a lot of artifacts. In Mokee 31/8 I really can't complain about image or video quality, it's great actually. A bit better than MIUI in my opinion
The stock camera still has the same issues, dark video recording at least. I will use Bacon Camera until it's fixed.

I can't comment on the issues people have with finger prints and if the issue has been fixed or not. I can only say that it's working perfectly fine for me.

I will stay on Mokee 31/8 for the time being. It's very close to a stock Android experience when all the bloat is inactivated. I would love some more features and settings to play around with, but I prefer a fully working rom over all the bells and whistles. It's without a doubt a daily driver, unless you really need a working compass!

Update 2017-09-02
After more than a full days of use I got pretty tired of Mokee. Still not a bad rom per say, but there seems to be some issues with deep sleep. Left it with over 70% battery during the night, when I woke up around six hours later it was down to around 50%. I'm not sure why and to be honest I really don't have the time to work it out. Instead I'm back on LOS 28/8 for the time being. I will keep an eye on Mokee and every other Nougat rom coming out since we're so close to having a fully working and bug free rom!
