This is my first Oppo phone, soon to be delivered and I was wondering if you guys think (or know) if the 7a will be supported with many custom ROMs?
I've got a flashing trigger finger and love trying out new ROMs so my fingers are crossed that it'll have a few to try in due course!

Not sure if "many", but Omni is already in works and rumors are that CyanogenMod is in development as well...
MIUI is expected to be released as well... (Find 5 is officially supported, so Find 7 may be officially supported as well)

Well we know Omni is coming for sure, and once that is out the others will start flowing based on Omnis device tree / kernel.
So most likely CM and / or a CM / Omni based MIUI port somewhere down the road.
Perfect, thanks for the info guys!

Find 5 and Oppo N1 don't seem to have many roms..
The Omni guys and the PA guys have been coordinating on bringup.
We had stalled with almost no progress for a few days but I think I figured out what was wrong and hopefully progress will resume in a day or two.

Pretty much current state of Omni:
Camera is 100% broken - my top priority now
Mic in speaker calls is broken. non-speaker calls work OK, so does Bluetooth in calls. Basic audio works, but haven't tested it too much.
Internal SD is a bit flaky, I think I know what I need to do in order to make it solid but I just need more time.
I'm having a lot of spontaneous reboots in deep sleep. It's some sort of suspend/resume bug, as there's nothing in last_kmsg other than it going into suspend and never coming out (except via a crash reboot). This may be due to some changes the PA guys sent to attempt to improve power management.
Sounds like you are making a whole lot of progress.
It fills my eyes with tears reading this.
One step closer to omni goodness.
Looking forward to try omni rom. Any news if omni rom will support vooc charging and maxxaudio? Thats kinda all i need from stock rom, and camera quality
Eh, is Maxx anything really besides a system EQ?
VOOC would be key, I wonder what controls that.
Camera quality doesn't change (much), they would both call the same functions to the hardware. Just the interface and options (HD stitching, slow motion, scenes...).
I will take Omni over that glitched mess called ColorOS any day.

Well there was a lot difference on the find5 in coloros and omni

With a custom ROM would it theoretically be possible to get rid of the limit of 3gb-ish for installed apps?

The VOOC charging has nothing to do with software.
I'd really love to flash OMNI or CM into my Find 7a but i really like the features that Color OS has, such as the off screen gestures and the double tap the home button to wake the phone. I'd really love to see the dev teams port those features to the ROMs, maybe Entropy can enlighten me on this.
I don't know about omni supporting screen off, but we should see a cm11-S port for the F7a I would imagine. As they're almost identical, it shouldn't be a huge stretch to make it happen.

That's what i've been thinking since the start. The hardware is almost identical apart from the sd card slot, a slightly slower CPU and 1GB less of RAM, but i don't know if the unified storage in the OPO would conflict with the stupid partitioning in the Finda 7/7a when porting. The perfect outcome would be having CM11S turn the Find 7a into an unified storage device.
I think it will be really difficult porting CM11S to the Find 7 due to the QHD screen, but still, the hardware is identical to the OPO apart from the sd card slot and the panel.
I don't know, but i think we will see stables for 7a much sooner and its big brother.

Yeah, maybe some Dev will come out with a partitioning script we could run that would change it from Oppo to unified. As far as the QHD, doesn't matter. The color OS Roms flash from 7a to 7 and back according to Oppo forums.
Honestly, if we change our partitioning we should be able to flash straight cm11s for the OPO, with a F7 kernel. That's what I'm guessing at least based off what I've seen on this forum and Oppo's.
Ya'll know that partitioning can be dicey I expect which is why you seldom see it happen. Its not really the partitioning itself, its the high number of people who cant follow simple instructions and screw up the partitioning thats the problem. At any rate I think more likely you are going to see a logical drive rather than partitioning if I had to guess. I believe that you may see omni support some of the gestures stuff in the future as CM is supporting some over on its close relative.
Realistically when I look at the state of 1.2 and the 2.0 beta color roms I think our best hope for the future lies here with entropy and company.

Couldn't agree more.
Hey,
so I just watched a review about the Oppo Find 7a. And I have to say that it I felt in love with it.
First I wanted to buy a LG-G3 because of its awesomeness, but know that I found the Find 7, I feel like I should buy this instead of the G3.
But there are a few things that I'd like to ask you before.
- Where's the difference between the 7 and the 7a? I heard the 7a owns a slower CPU/GPU, a smaller battery and a smaller resolution. And I also heard that the 7a seems to have the better display, because its more saturated, brighter and overall the viewing experience should be better than on the 7. Is that right?
- Will there be custom roms? I think I won't like the ColorOS, because I'm using "stock" android since 2 years now and I got pretty used to it. So I'd like to flash a custom rom, running KK4.4.2 (Omni,CM, ..). What do you think?
There are many things that I like on the 7 (MaxxSound, SD Slot, ..) that the G3 will not own. I am pretty unsure if I go with the G3 to get guaranteed custom roms and take out that it doesn't have such nice features as the 7, or I go with the 7 and maybe don't get custom roms :/ Whats your opinion?
for the differences between 7a and 7 is best to check here:
http://en.oppo.com/products/find7/#find7-specs
difficult to compare displays at this point because find 7 is not available yet. I saw that article with display comparison somewhere on the net, but these were pre-production units ant things may change by the time find 7 is available
custom roms for find 7a are already available (cm 11s port, gummy rom, omni, I heard MIUI will be available) so am sure that find 7 will get them too...
I switched from LG G2 to find 7a and must say I do not regret it..display is great, sound as well, phone is snappy...
was just one of that unlucky guys which got units with yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. but have already contacted oppostyle and agreed with them that if the tint will not go away within one week, they will replace the phone
hi,
I bought my selve a find 7a and i can tell you that it is one of the better phones i have owned.
personally i think that on this moment the 1440p screen in the find 7 will be to demanding for other internal components.
and about the roms, i've been flashing some now and ican tell you that even in this beta stage, they all run almost flawless.
i wish you good luck deciding.
The find 7a has some great hardware but so far was a mediocre choice in terms of software.
Thanks to the recent wave of custom ROM goodness though it's become a extremely viable option.
IMO the hardware is solid and holds its own with anything available now, the software not so much. I cant say for certain but IMO the alpha roms all of which I have now tried show extremely great promise and its my belief that the software side of the equation will be as solid as the hardware sooner rather than later. I would say that were I on the fence now I would wait for the 7 to get a little closer before I bought in. It may be you want to go that way (or not) and you will have answers very soon on the worthiness of the upgrade from 7A.
Thank you all so far!
So, it's not long until LG will present their new G3. I will wait til the final release, when the final specs are published. Then I have a direct comparison between those two.
But it seems like I will choose the F7/a because of the MaxxSound feature and for expandable memory which LG obviously won't implement to the G3. And if you all tell that you're looking forward to custom roms on the F7, then there's another reason for me to pick it

Well, there are multiple reports suggesting that the G3 will have a microSD slot. I mean.. it will most probably support UHD recording.. and where do you expect anyone to store all that data?
Not so familiar with MaxxSound, but I tested the 7a a few days ago and I was super pleased, just as tested by GSMarena.
As for G3, there are reports on it having a 1W speaker, and that's gonna be loud too.
So.. IF what I said were to be true, then the G3 being a smaller (and possibly lighter) device would be a winner. End of the day, the cost also matters.
Waiting for announcement here as well...
Keep in mind that MaxxSound or MaxxAudio (or whatever it was called) goes away if you install a different ROM. Some features such as double tap to open are in some of the ROMs, but some might not be.

I don't think that it is so hard to add it to a custom rom or is it? I mean ROM-makers do/did incredible stuff.
Awaiting today's LG-G3 livestream presentation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFPZO2fcAUo
just seen a video for g3 and it looks stunning
Hi guys,
LG G4 would be greatful for me, I like much its specifications, I think it would be my perfect device: microSD support, removable battery, good hardware (G3 is still enough for me).
I want it! It sounds like an improved version of my G3: more color fidelty and screen brightness, no more weak digitizer, outstanding camera...
Why I won't to spend for SGS7 Edge? Because I like modding, I like CM and AOSP roms, I can't accept to live with stock firmware, even if rooted or derivated.
However... I know that it's suffering bootloops: after an unspecified usage time, an hardware component make device unbootable, phone need to be sent in warranty or repaired manually (no, I'm too afraid).
Now I'm asking you, what's your experience regarding bootloop issues?
Please specify also if you've bought device BEFORE or AFTER March.
I just totalled my S4 Mini (i9195). The phone is alive but the LCD is totally smashed.
Been running CyanogenMod 11 for a couple of years. Once the ROM got stable I've been really happy with the hardware and software.
My question is what to do now.
Fix the phone and just carry on with CyanogenMod 11
Fix the phone and upgrade the ROM -- what's everyone using for day-to-day use; is it LineageOS? I like CyanogenMod 11 because it's not tied to Google, PrivacyGuard and LED notifications, otherwise fairly minimal. I don't want really want to go back to the unstability I remember of the early CyanogenMod 11 milestones.
Upgrade the phone to a new one. I'm not sure one is suitable; my main criteria are small size and switchable battery, custom ROM.
I'm fairly technical but new to posting on XDA. Hoping you can help me past some of the jargon and codenames. What are people using their S4 Mini day to day (not experimenting) doing?
Thanks -- Mark

If you are going to keep your phone it sounds like CM13 would be best for you as it is very stable and you will get much newer security patches (though it looks like Arco will not be updating it any further for now). It has Privacy Guard and you can flash a smaller Open GApps package to keep Google to a minimum .....
LinageOS is already very stable but there are a few small bugs (maybe a big one with the dialer as some people have reported in last few days having no audio on calls) as you would expect on a "TEST" ROM, but some are using for daily driver with no real problems. Maybe give it a look once it's gone "official".
It's almost impossible to get a new phone with good spec and small size now especially one that has such a great custom ROM's available.

I just came across the S5 Mini.. Seems like it might be the last phone that fulfill my hardware requirements and it won't cost me much more to upgrade than to repair my current phone. Did all the S4 Mini crowd move to the S5 Mini or is there good reason to stick with the old? For example, worse support for the hardware.
Thanks for the ROM tips, I will definitely try version 13 once I have a working phone just to see. If I really don't like it I can always consider going back to 11.

Yes, S5 Mini will probably be a good choice, though not as much development by the looks of it, but we S4 Mini owners have been spoilt. Don't think that many people upgraded to it, but I don't really know.

Yup I think I have, and until now took it for granted that most of the phones were reverse engineered to the same level.
I made a decision and ordered the parts to repair my S4 Mini, that will be my day-to-day phone. When I get it I might spin up CM13 for a test. As for a 'new' phone that will have to wait. Thanks for the advice.

Take the Lineage OS 14.1 build from arco68. and TWRP 3.03 from neozone75 Much more performance,longer battery life,and my s4 mini boots packed with a lot apps in under 1min. when flashed, don't miss to set the preferrred network type in Mobile radio networks- if you have no LTE contract set it to 3G . good luck for repair
Hi there!
I have bought myself a Motorola Defy 2021 and been searching for alternatives to stock rom. Does anyone know if costum roms, lineage os, or any other roms exist?
probably not - im still holding of on the buy just beaucse there is no custom rom support
Wise actually – if you are a person who wants a google-free or at least not overblown android device. The stock rom after first reboot and install takes 27(!)% of the 64gb storage! What the hell I could get 3 full blown linux distro into that
But on the otherside – the workmanship and also the specs for the price – seems to be very decent – and you shouldn't mind its big size! – But anyway 5000mah and the specs (gorilla glas, ip 68,...) is very cool
Hopefully some can make a costum rom or even better a nice lineage os
he design is great. The HW is the right price. One of the few durable phones that doesn't look terrible.
HW is identical to G9 Play, so hopefully another ROM is probably some ...
