Which ROM has the best battery life, or is closest to Google's stock MM?

[tdk0117]

Just got mine today, from Prime day! I'm looking for a simple ROM, since my mom will be using this. I've heard that EMUI is confusing, so I was hoping to find a ROM that is as close to stock as possible.

Thanks!

Cm13 is your best bet for close to stock. However your mother won't have access to the fingerprint scanner if you go that route. It is currently only working on the stock rom. I found that stock with nova, Google messenger, and chrome are very doable and provide great battery life.

Make yourself your own opinion about EMUI for some days or weeks.

Today is your lucky day. The FP sensor is now working on CM13. Cheers to our wonderful devs.

I bought this phone for both of my parents. Keep it stock. Go to settings, Home Screen Style, Simple. She will love it.

Oooh nice. Can you explain what this line means

"We are using Open GApps (Link) Arm64 version. (make sure to use 64bit when using other packages), others might also be working"

Are we supposed to use the Arm64 GApps, or x86_64?

Sweet haha, we're in the same boat. I'll try that out when I get home, but when I was messing with it yesterday, it felt so similar to an iPhone. What does the Simple setting do?

It's a custom stock launcher that puts 8 or so "tiles" on the home page-phone, camera, email, browser and whatever else they use. Settings and camera settings are limited to just a few things.

This means we are using a 64 bit chipset (Snapdragon 616). You have to use ARM64 gapps in CM13.
