#Stock kernel improved in case of camera... Video recording thing is solved to much extent but battery backup with it isn't worth!

#Slow booting..i mean... Optimization Android thing take time after clearing both caches! It's faster in AICP,Sokp,Validus etc!

#Phone is cool while using phone .... It was warm in Validus ROM :)

#Multitasking is superb ... And phone isn't heating :)

#All three  kernels working... With average battery backup! :) Mokee,SOLK,AICP,VALIDUS is better!

#Can be used as Daily driver! :)

[VALIDUS ROM 5.1.1 BASED] [11 JUNE] [REVIEW]

                             ¢¢¢¢ VALIDUS ROM 5.1.1 BASED 11/06/2015 ¢¢¢¢

#Preinstalled SuperSu!

#Another Rom with Fast Charging approximately 2 hours!

#Rom is preloaded with a dark theme which is pretty nice! 

#It is fast charger but lags while charging and you have to remove thermal throttling for removing that laggnes! And yes its heating badly while using phone in charging (upto 65°C sometimes CPU Temperature) :/

#Two launchers already there... Trebuchet and Nova ... Can chose any!

#I find this ROM... Much user friendly... I mean many things are there which we have to do manually.... It's already On & Off here! :)

#Overnight drain with Beast is high 7% lolz *.* not worth! I guess Carbon kernel is better in this!

#Video Recording bug there... With Stock and Beast kernel.... Problem solved by CARBON kernel to some extent :) This thing make this preferred over Mokee ROM! But in Mokee Heating wasn't there... As this give a warm feel in normal usage too! 

#Battery backup is good good! 5:30 sot i guess! 

#Well it is competitor of Mokee... And better than Aicp and Sokp... But don't have OTA and all... And also not updating regularly like Mokee,Aicp do :) Better Stay on mokee for it's regular updates!

[MOKEE ROM 5.1.1 BASED] [25th June Build] [REVIEW]

••••• MOKEE ROM 5.1.1 Based 25th June Build •••••

I ain't going so deep... Just saying straight and simple that →

#Fast Charging... Compared to other Lollipop ROMs .... Taking 2 to 2:15 hours to reach from 2% to 100% with Stock kernel! Battery backup is pretty good like other L ROMs ... Nearly 5:30 with Stock or with Others  on default frequency!

#Rapid Booting

#INBUILT ROOT access like all other ROMs have except some like Paranoid!

#NO LAGS while using phone in plugged charger or unplugged charger! Yes there is lil heat while using phone is plugged charger... It's OK :)

#Nice multitasking! :)

#Incremental OTA updates are nice feature of ROM ...(check SS)

#During Video Recording ... Constant pumping.. I mean..constant Focussing there... A bug which is in this and almost in every Lollipop ROM *_* no kernel unable to solve this!

#Camera quality ... Is good as well as in call sound too is clear! Music is loud and clear.

#Xposed working nicely with its modules!

#Recommended over aicp,sokp,paranoid ROMs :)

[Miui 6 CHINESE 5.6.18 KK Based ROM] [Review]

πππππ MIUI v6.. 5.6.18 CHINESE VERSION πππππ

#One word.... i.e. Awesome... Why? Ok because of MultiTasking and No lags while using phone in Charging but it heats while using in plugged charger!! "_"

#Root permissions are taking time :P better flash SuperSu zip ... Don't install supersu by downloading from play store and then install it... It will give you bootloop... Better flash SuperSu as i said! :)
#Balika Kernel by Uatel or that ramdisk ... Or Xcelerate kernel ..none worked for me.. Gave me Bootloops and i have to dirty flash ROM :| ... These kernels was working fine with Miui Pro :) but no worry Stock kernel is good! :)

#Three_Four Chinese Apps there ... You can remove them easily by Link2SD app! ^.^

#About Gapps (Google Apps)... Mi Store there.... It's not worth.. And i still recommend installation of Gapps by Google Installer (link→ http://d-h.st/RS2C) ... Or Download these gapps →(( http://www.4shared.com/get/tbzCUXcjba/44X-GAPPSzip44X-GAPPS.html )).Though other Gapps bundles there like Slim Gapps for KK ,Minimal Gapps for KK and Gapps by Aroma Installer there  (link → http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=102282&highlight=gapps%2Bfor%2Bmiui%2B6&mobile=2)  but better install Gapps by Google Installer! No bug! ;)

#I guess this is best of all Miui versions! Yea i didn't try multiRom yet! But i guess it's best! :D

#RAM management is average! ^_^

#Incremental OTA updates there... The folks who don't know what's incremental ota is that ... You don't you have to download whole rom when getting any new version of rom as this function isn't in miui pro :)

#Battery drain isn't there after rebooting phone and charging is average or we can say slow ...takes 2:45 to 3 hours maximum from 0% to 100% :) ok better than others! ^_^

#Battery_Backup is approx. 5 hours with moderate usage! No games ! Check SS! :D i didn't underclock cpu!

[PARANOID ROM 5.1.1 ROM] [19 June] [REVIEW]

~~~~ PARANOID ROM 5.1.1 Based Build Date 19 June ~~~~

((Previous Build →
http://himanshudhoopia.blogspot.in/2015/06/paranoid-rom-511-based-12th-june-review.html?m=1))

#As in previous build.... Booting was slow..in this version this has been resolved!!

#Charging speed as usual slow ...Very slow !

#2% Battery drop after restarting!!

#Phone is heating.... I mean it's getting warm... :/

#Battery backup.... It's worth.... Approx. 6:00 hours without idle or overnight drain! With Carbon kernel...max. among all... Screenshots are there from 69℅-59℅-49℅ .. You can check!  BTW R6 STILL shi& with this ROM :3 R5 and X5 are good with Irritating slow charging!

#Performance is good... Almost all L roms are good in performance!

#An app called "Cyandelta updater" can be used for downloading OTA ....well paranoid have ota already but this app won't download whole rom but only newl changelog ... Which is nearly 40-50 mb... U can use this app with other roms too which have OTA feature like Aicp... i guess!

#Better charge phone before it go at 0% ... Because if it go 0% and phone go off... Then you have to use UNIVERSAL CHARGER for charging battery :) i mean you have to take out battery and then charge it for sometime... Charging is very slow... Main drawback...!

#And It's not prerooted! Ok... Flash SuperSu zip... Google it... And enter into top result!!

#It's Still behind AICP,SOKP roms!!

^^^^ PARANOID ROM 5.1.1 Build Date 12 June! ^^^^

★ Slow booting like stock cm!

★ Did drama in proceeding during first start up... Checking connection checking connection for some time! #_# #MinorBTW!

★ Heating and lagging much while using phone in charging with stock kernel.. Had to remove that thermal file !! But later it works nice with other custom kernels!!

★ Video recording ... It's not black and shiny ...ok.... It's getting saved...ok... But but... Pumping...i mean focussing continuously-.- TF! You can use lilttle buggy Miui 5 camera (flash prob) :P (link---http://d-h.st/ALJr )

★ Very Slow charging!!

★Music... Call in quality... Is good like other roms!

★Battery backup... Is not good! :) it take lot of time to charge and not giving a expected backup... Disappointing!!

★ X9,B5,C4 (b) ...etc Kernels run fine but B6 give touch problems!!

★ Good about this rom is that it have OTA feature and updating regularly with Downgrading itself! *_*

★ Let's wait for another stable version! Link for this one→http://get.aospa.co/legacy/armani !

#Multitasking isn't so bad but not that much great...as other custom roms!!  Apps restarts here :3 #StockKernel

#Ok there is a smoothness and improved multitasking with X kernel.... BALIKA kernel isn't working... Bootloop there!

#Battery backup is nice with default frequency i.e. 300 mhz min. to 1.5ghz max.set by Xcelerate kernel (synaspe app isn't working for controlling frequency.. Others also not) with Moderate use :) sot→  5:30 to 6:00 hours approx!!  (That's worth)

#I think HD games won't run cool :)

#Battery drain is zero while rebooting phone!

#Charging Speed is normal.... Yes better than Lollipop roms! _/\_

#RAM management is normal....

#Xposed working fine.... But Google Keyboard lags... While switching lowercase-uppercase letters!! SwiftKey was working cool :D

%%%% SLIM SABER 5.1.1 based %%%%

#I flashed it .. When i saw a post regarding it's battery backup... That it's nice and yep... It's really nice with Default kernel and carbon kernel!

#Video recording bug there in rom with default kernel but after latest carbon kernel ( http://d-h.st/XEnp) the problem is solved in rom! 

#Recent Panel is Slim (yea can be changeable) ..it's nice btw!

#Multitasking is superb... Better than stock cm12.1 !!

#Call quality is nice ... Better than sokp! Yea may be after installing latest carbon in sokp r4 ...sokp rom's problem may be sort out!

#Layers feature there with Kernel Auditor (idk spelling :p ) pre-installed !

#Charging is NIL (with Carbon kernel)... While using phone in plugged charger else it's good!! Uff! And there is no alternative of carbon kernel on this rom yet!

#Heating there! While using phone in charging or in normal case too it heats sometime like after reboot etc!

Overall it's a good rom with good battery backup with 6 hours sot approx with moderate use! And Loud and clear sound is awesome! :D

[SOKP R4 5.1.1 BASED] [REVIEW]

#### SOKP R4 5.1.1 BASED #####

#Fast booting! That optimization process during booting is pretty speedy :D

#Default LCD density is 280 .. You can increase if you want in Sokp statistics.. Display settings!

#Layers.... The feature Which was in Xenon HD rom is in this ROM!

#Slim Launcher is default launcher... Problem with this is ↓

#Recent panel.... Ufff! Unable to understand.... It wasn't coming by pressing home  button or else!! A task manager is there in notification bar and in that running apps with ram usage are illustrated! It's annoying :/ how to switch apps fastly :3 So better switch to Google launcher (make it system app by link2sd) or Nova or whatever you like :v

# Animations, Gesture, Live display, Wakelock blocker,Pie control, Screen recording etc. features are loaded!

#Video Recording and saving bug in Default kernel .... In other kernels too.. Video recording and saving not While recording screen is like heart beats..it's pumping... Like focussing something with the gap of some seconds :3  #HateThis

#while Call ..... Chiiir chhiirrr ...TF;_; 

#Battery backup and performance was good the only thing which is good in this rom.... Very smooth rom it is .... But camera .... And call feature... These two are also important :3 
Day by day they are doing IDK what with the ROM !

#We must wait for the patch or new version *_*

#That botttom part problem in keyboards in this ROM is solved to......... Nopes its not :3 You have to use swift keyboard or other keyboards but i still like Google only... This made flashing other rom :/ :P

#Phone isn't heating while using phone in plugged charger but charging speed... It's better than slim saber rom but seriously it's saying to take 10 hours to charge full ... right now percent is 27% ..now u can guess :P

#No lags while using phone in charging or not charging ;)

#Battery drain after rebooting....nah it's not!

#Standby drain is zero with stock kernel....performance is also nice ...but problem is with Video recording ...it's going Black and Bright.... Ufff! irritating? ...yea of course it is!

#Beast R5 or R6 solved Black thing but pumping in Video recording still there!! :3

#X9 kernel.... Same problem like with Beast but A fast and battery performer !! (Check SSS)

#Carbon R4 beta... Same video recording thing problem!! Battery backup is nice with this kernel! 

Overall a good rom.... With the bugs which is in almost every L rom i.e. video and its unique bug..Bottom touch Shi&#% problem :D ♥

#Dolby and Dolby Digital Plus are pre-installed... But these aren't working... You can remove these by link2sd or Titanium backup etc!! And Install Viper or Flash Dolby Digital Plus Universal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=10834)  It's Working!

#DolbyAtmos was Not working! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12855)

#2% Battery drain after every reboot! Still problem in this! And other most of L roms!

#Walkman After updating changed into Music giving FCs to ... Better use default walkman if anyone facing same (uninstall updates) :) (walkman guide in link)

#Xposed Installer running nice! With its modules ...it supports!

#In latest CM12.1 rom ..in camera.. Pics can be saved in External card...no such feature there in Sokp right now!

#Music is Clear and Loud with Earbuds or Phone Speaker... Really awesome !! Earphones,Headphones are performing at its best with Walkman and Viper!! 

#MiXplorer,A camera app, Asus Launcher,A beautiful live wallpaper are pre installed!

#Carbon Kernel,Beast Kernel, Xcelerate kernel ...all are working :D

#With Carbon Kernel v4 beta ... It's a good performer....fast charging with almost 5:30 sot with moderate usage! With Maximum frequency 1.4 ghz!  1-1½ % battery drain! (link>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-3WOyA3il7SbUN1SUNpeGdMd00/view?pli=1 )

#With Xcelerate Kernel r9... Very slow charging there! Battery backup isn't good as comparable to Carbon!

#With Beast R6 .... Charging speed is good than X kernel but slow as comparison with Carbon kernel...but Phone showed awake all time...idk why! So stand by and idle battery drain there..!

#With Beast R5 ... Overnight battery drain is 2%  else it's better than R6 beast!

#Sokp Default Kernel is not so good !! Battery backup by this isn't cool!
