Thinking of using a custom ROM? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello guys! I'm currently on OxygenOS 3.5.2 Community Build and the battery life sucks! I'm wondering if I should switch to a custom ROM + kernel, and if I should, which combination is the best?
There are so many options to choose from and it is very confusing.
1. What ROMs are suggested for best battery life?
2. Which kernel is suggested for best battery life?
3. What is the difference between the FreedomOS based on Stable and Community Build? Which is better?
4. How's the battery life of FreedomOS like?
5. What are some bugs that I should look out for?
I'm kind of leaning towards OxygenOS based ROMs for the stock camera quality. Is there anyway that the other non-OxygenOS based ROMS can achieve similar or equal quality?
I hope you experts can assist me, kind of new to this device and the custom ROM/kernel scene.
Thanks!

NucleaROM has the best battery life, it is smoother than any other ROM I have tried, it has the OOS camera port availability etc.

The $1m question, there is no one answer to this. Best advice would be to try out ROMs for yourself, personally I would stick with the kernel provided with the rom as once you start mixing and matching the chances of hitting the best combo for your unique usage becomes less and less.
Two bits of hard advice though, 1. Backup your current rom before starting and transfer the backup to a pc. 2. Judging battery life of a new rom is a lengthy process so give it a good 3-4 days for your usage pattern to settle down before passing judgement on the expected battery life.

Best custom rom for battery management

I was wondering which rom out of the many available - is best in terms of battery life?? I didn't really want to start a whole new thread .. but i am looking for those here who have flashed most of the custom desire roms on XDA, I need a rom that manages battery better then most.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to have lots of answers. Unfortunately, each one, talking about one rom or the other will tell you that its rom is better that others.
I'm running a ROM developped by a single developper (Itanium 1.8 today) and the battery life is pretty good. Undervolt mod is included, several optimizations have been made for battery usage, but again, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen and OpenDesire (these are examples, not the only ROMs working fine I guess) are good at saving baterry life...
So I would say it's hard to tell, and the best advice would be for you to test several of these and find the one which best suits your needs... You might end with a ROM which might give you less battery life, but which would looks better for you and for your usage (Sense based, without Sense...).
Hope this makes sense.

thanks for the info bro I hope others will also post a comment. Although, as you said - opinions will dither, it will still be good to get an overall opinion from many XDA desire users.

[Q] Best autonomy between froyo/Miui and Gingerbread roms

hi it's again me i have a simple question to ask you wich rom has the best battery autonomy using sense 2.1 ! gingerbread? Miui? or froyo please tell me what's the best thank you veryy much guys
No way to tell.. You'll need to try them out and find the ones you like/find least battery consuming.
I've seen plenty of people trying to compare battery life on different roms based on anything from feeling to sleep voltage numbers to screen battery consumption, and it just isn't anything to go by.. The numbers are completely random from device to device and from user to user(depending on how you use the device), so no there is no one great/low battery consumption rom EOS
I'll suggest oxygen as a nice and lightweight aosp rom, but try different ones out
In my opinion, Gingerbread(Android 2.3.x) Roms must be much better than Froyo(Android 2.2.x) Roms. And if you are looking for the Rom with the best battery, I may tell you that Miui is you last choice...

Best ROM for oneplus 3 in terms of battery life?

With so many Rom options available for the Oneplus 3 it becomes difficult for the users to decide which rom is best for which purpose. For example , Resurrection Remix ROM is the best in terms of customization options. I am looking for a ROM that has the best battery life. So any suggestion guys?
Thanx
Mod Edit: Moved to Q&A.
There is no "best battery rom". But i would go with oos or h2oos since the others camera quality isnt that good atm.
And you should ask questions in the questions & answers section
people still ask this question... its subjective and pretty hard to give anybody a correct answer for a subjective question
It depends on one's personal taste. But i am a stock oos liker so i come to use Freedom Os on my op3.Freedom os is basically stock rom with some polished additions.It has a beautiful AROMA installer. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-freedomos-1-0-t3409348
Sultan just released his op3 rom. I've had for a month as a beta tester and it's been fantastic.

Minimal ROM?

I've been using LeeDroid romfor years but my M8 is now struggling badly with battery.
I was wondering, and struggling to find, any ROM's that play nicely on battery and resources to use the devices as a backup of sorts.
Had a search for the Sailfish OS that looks interesting but seems the M8's ROM support might be finally dying along with the phone.
Any suggestions?
1. You should've asked in Q&A section tbh.
2. There's not much that can be done about bad battery. I'd clean flash the rom again and do some undervolting and underclocking.
If you want to switch roms and want a sense based one then try a debloated stock rom - sometimes stock works best. ICE also had a good battery life.
If not sense based isn't an issue then there's plenty to go around - I think they'd be mostly the same with battery life, so pick whichever one you want - Oreo roms are new, Nougat roms are solid.
I'm currently on RR 5.8.5, did some underclocking and battery life is acceptable for such an old device.

what's the best rom for our s9 depending on usage

Hello
this thread is like a poll
this thread can be useful for ppl like me
i wanna know which custom rom+kernel combination (linOs/aosp based roms, treble rom, customized stock rom+ all kernels of our s9 including stock kernel), depending on each user, is better for a daily use.
so in your opinion ,
whats the the best rom+kernel that gives more than 5/6h of sot, without decreasing too much performance ?
whats the best rom+ kernel that gives an amazing performance and gives a new experience for the user?
whats the best rom+ kernel that gives more stability for the user (other than stock) and a balanced battery life+ performance ?
-Personally, im using stock brf8 with apkg kernel and the highest sot i got is 5h20min.
i hope all of you will interact with this thread, so as to give a better idea of s9 development
thank you.
