Resurrection Remix 7.1.12r25 is my favorite. It has the most options built in of all the Nougat roms for the G900V and other phones.
Has anyone reading this had trouble with Nougat ROMS causing a lockup after the initial setup? I can install and use Resurrection Remix, Lineage and CR Droid at my home. Once I start moving (i.e. when I go to a store or go to work) the phone will lock up showing a rectangular box on the lock screen. Yesterday when I arrived at work I touched the power button and I expected to unlock the phone. I saw the normal unlock screen for a split second and then saw the dreaded rectangular box with the time as the only graphic. To restart one has to pull the battery. Yesterday I did a nandroid restore and was back on Marshmallow.

I am wondering if this might be due to my phone being shut down by Verizon once I attain a strong consistent cell signal. Or maybe the network settings for using the Verizon network are wrong.

I also think it could be due to GAPPS but only because I have seen other posts concerning some GAPPS causing lockups. What I haven't read is anyone getting the phone all set up and running smoothly at home only to have it go wonky once it moves away from the original cell.

(I really like the Nougat custom ROMS more than the stock rooted Marshmallow ROM but I can't use them without the lockups!)

Thanks for reading this. (SM-G900V with unlocked bootloader)

I'm having the very same problem. I've looking elsewhere but without success.

I don't want to go back to MM yet, but this is really annoying. Any insights on this?

I would like to know this as well. I liked Resurrection Remix but switched to Lineage because battery life was so poor for me on Resurrection Remix.
