This is beyond any doubt one of the best custom ROM for HTC U11 and has a wonderful developer behind it. LeeDrOiD ROM is based on the stock HTC U11 Sense 9.0 and comes with Android 7.1 Nougat and supports all International networks carriers. This ROM has amazing battery life, is fast and stable and is even tweaked for better performance.
It is a rooted ROM that is also Deodexed and zip-aligned. The developer has also cleaned up bloat found on the smartphone and installed BusyBox. There are a lot of under the hood tweaks to the ROM though, the developer has removed software rendering and made the ROM fully optimized and tweaked.
I highly recommend that you do a thorough backup of your smartphone before flashing a new ROM on it. It is also advised that you read the ROM’s instructions clearly and completely. Some custom ROMs need special steps to ensure stable performance, make sure that you know those before taking the final plunge into awesomeness.
