As the title states what do you guys prefer.
My understanding is that xposed is not really meant for custom roms but for stock.
So would you prefer stock with xposed or a custom rom with PureNexus for example.
Or do you guys put xposed on custom roms. If so are there issues?

You can use xposed with eg pure Nexus, but as a general rule do not use any module that do the same as functionality built in the custom ROM. PN with xposed and greenify eg runs fine. But i wouldn't use any xposed module that messes with system settings with PN.
I would prefer a good custom ROM any day over 'patching' features with xposed modules. I feel a good custom ROM has its benefits in stability and compatibility any time.

Thanks for that I just loaded up xposed. Looks like I didn't even need to root.
Only put up N-fy and YouTube background playback. Seems to work great.
Not sure if the N-fy module messes with PN settings too much but seems to work great and give me all features of N without the issues of N.

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

Does not work on moto g5plus for me . get architecture error
update :after reinstalling apk it stated framework was active
This is a simple tutorial for those on there who really want a fully functional Google Camera without needing to install a ported version or buggy version just to get away from the glitchy green flickering while recording video or who want a slight increase in quality and usability. It's simple, to begin all you will need are the following to get started.
1. Official TWRP Recovery installed and functional.
2. A LineageOS based ROM to install (E.g. LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, etc).
3. A specific GApps package is required for this step. Navigate to here: https://opengapps.org and make sure you have selected "ARM64" for "Platform". Now select your Android version and make sure you select Stock GApps package and above (Very Important!) (Optional: Aroma Package can also be used but was avoided in this tutorial.) The reason I asked you to install the stock package and above is because the stock default camera (AOSP Camera) is replaced with the Google Camera upon GApps install.
(Recommendation: If you prefer a pixel like device like I do with all stock AOSP based apps replaced with Google apps then install the "Super" GApps from opengapps.org).
4. Backup any important data before proceeding.
5. Wipe the appropriate partitions in TWRP.
6. Flash your ROM of choice + GApps.
7. Done!
I know that most advanced users already knew this was possible I just thought I would create this for the non-technical savvy folk. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new Google Camera!

For people like me that don't like the stock AOSP apps like the camera, and prefer Google apps? I thought that much was obvious.

Sorry, didn't want to say anything wrong, but losing ability to shoot in 4k 60fps and all other video modes, ability to use second camera for 9+ users.. All of this for NOT- fully working Google camera? Sorry, but this doesn't sound practical. Plus, that old version can be easily installed on any device.
The main problem is the misleading thread title. All users would expect fully working Google camera with the most important feature - HDR+.

agreed. I actually am not a fan of Google camera UI and only use it for HDR+ (it's the best) and have been waiting for a functional port as well.

So, I was tired with RealmeUI and decided to do some experiments with my phone. For the last few days I have been flashing numerous custom ROMs. I'm gonna share my experience with these ROMs. Hope it helps someone decide which one to flash. Earlier this post had some other ROMs mentioned too but I removed them as they were updated recently and I haven't tested them. So, can't provide my review without flashing them.
1. PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS & PIXEL EXPERIENCE
This is by far the best custom rom available for this phone. It's been one week and I'm still using it. The UI is buttery smooth. Gaming performance is awesome and battery life is good. The only downside of this ROM is that it doesn't have extra features like the other ROMs. This is purely STOCK. And damn I miss the OOS recorder from Derpfest. I know there's a Magisk module to get the oneplus apps and I did flash it. But the screen recorder was just not there. I tried installing ported apk. But the apk wasn't installed. So I used a app from the playstore- "SCREEN RECORDER". From my point of view this is the best rom for non gamers! I would recommend Evolution X for the gamers out there. I did install only two modules on this ROM - AML and Dolby Atmos!
2. EvolutionX
This is my daily driver now . The smoothness and performance is as good as PE+. But this rom has some extra features which is very essential (to me). If you game a lot and do screen recording, this is the one for you. There's a dedicated gaming mode which turns on automatically when you open games and oos screen recorder. It's a very feature rich rom. The latest version of EvolutionX needs RealmeUI firmware. So flash it first if you're on COS.
3. Havoc OS
Used this ROM for almost two days now and I can tell this is a good ROM. I didn't do gaming though. By the looks of it, I think it will handle gaming just fine. The XDA thread of Havoc is outdated. Join the Telegram Group to get the latest version(which is 3.8). And it needs RealmeUi firmware so flash it if you're on COS.
any bugs in Pixel Exp Plus or should I stick to Realme Ui
I can confirm. Been testing all the three and while I loved them Pe and pe+ are far the best in basic functions like speed, ui, battery, performance. Yet it is true it's very stock android like and missing some extra features but I don't mind for I'm a purist and you can always add extra content, apps, features by downloading and on a rooted device there is no such thing as completely impossible ?
Is there any properly working call recorder in pe+?

Actually, there is one impossible thing- " you can't install the OOS screen recorder (I couldn't). Tried the ported version and the magisk module Oxy-ify. The app just doesn't install.

You have to sacrifice some things. The private safe of realmeui isn't there. You have to use Gcam. Stock camera features(48MP) won't work. Slo mo does work but is kinda useless. The secondary lenses work but the macro is pretty useless I guess.

Well, there will always be stuff that won't install on different ROMs. I tried so hard to get 48 mp on custom ROMs but found out that it's kind of faux yet a good 12 mp gcam shot can be just as sharp and detailed as an oversaturated stock 48 mp shot on stock ROM. So I gave up on it and I don't mind. There are some stuff you can't install but if you're creative enough you can get around them. I'm sure there are good enough screen recorders out there ?

I never cared for the 48MP mode. Even in stock rom I used it only twice. Normal 12MP images turns out better than the 48MP images.
I know there are screen recorder apps available out there. But none of them were as good as the OOS screen recorder so I shifted from PE+ to EvolutionX.!
Best rom, lineageos. But it seems nobody is developing it anymore... But still using it and it's great
Let me use this thread to ask this: is there any custom rom being actively developed, that does not have gapps included? Thanks.

1. DERPFEST
The initial impression of this ROM was great. Performance and battery life was way better than the stock ROM. And the games ran very smoothly(including cod mobile and pubg mobile). And it had great features too e.g. - OOS Screen Recorder. You can't find the app anywhere on the app drawer. It sits quietly in the quick settings. If you don't see it just add from the tiles. But after two days to usage ROM started behaving weird. Occasional lags and stutters in the UI. And some apps were crashing. And sometimes the will go to a bootloop. To get out of the bootloop you have to go into TWRP and flash caches. It is not a solution though as the bootloops would occur again. So I decided to dump this ROM. I didn't know what the reason was. I posted a comment on the post of derpfest but I got no reply. Well, I had installed too many magisk modules, which were useful actually. Viper,ICE sound, Dolby Atmos, Audio Modification Library. Can this be the reason?? Is there something called "Module Overload" exist?
2. POSP
Here I only didn't face the bootloop problem but faced others mentioned above. So I got rid of it before it begins the stucking in bootlogo problem.

Evolution X has also a bug, the ported screen recorder doesnt support internal audio recording but great recorder because of 60 fps reolution. Only the default recorder works.
Anyone tried havocOS?
Hi, I was considering installing Pixel Experience plus on my phone. Do I need to have coloros or any specific version of realme ui to install it? I'm currently on Realmeui v11_c.05. I haven't rooted/flashed a recovery yet and plan to do it tomorrow. Should I download coloros before trying to flash this rom?
P.s Thank you for your detailed post, I was quite confused between PE/PE+, evox and derpfest.

Please list all ROMs other than stock where camera works out of the box flawless without the need to install magisk or stuff like that. Also other apps like the moto cam or gcam should work well too. Thanks.
