Good news everyone!
The superfantasticawesome Nameless ROM dev team currently has a very solid 5.0 port currently open for testing! You can find it at http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/5-x-namelessrom-all-variants.22451/ .
Be sure to say thank you to them, and give them the feedback they deserve for this!
TIPS FOR INSTALLING:
Like many ROMs for the Find7 variants, this ROM needs a specific baseband or the proximity sensor gets pretty finicky. However, not all basebands seem to be compatible at the moment. For myself, I found that downgrading to the 2.0.3 beta only worked for me (I'm on a Find7a), but I've also heard that some Find7 people were able to use 1.2.5.
Enjoy your Lollipop, everyone!
Fantastic news. I'm downloading it right now. Will test tonight. Thanks.
Nameless rom works fantastic for me.Very smooth indeed. The only issue is with proximity sensor. Can you please let me know on how youdegraded the baseband version?

Use the stock recovery to flash the 2.0.3i beta, then install the 5.0 port. If you're on a non stock recovery, I'd recommend using Tantrum's recovery installer here!
I think there is no need to flash whole COS rom then Nameless LL. If some sensors are not working in LL, like proximity, try to flash other modem, no need for whole ROM.
Go to modem collection here and try to flash 1.2.5 modem, it should work.
If you have chinese model, like me, I have x9007, I flashed Modempackage_1.2.5_zixuan_cn.zip and Nameless LL is working great, only NFC is not working.

That's very interesting. I tried using three different basebands (the 1.2.5, 2.0.3, and a OnePlusOne baseband) but all of them only caused the ROM to bootloop. Glad it worked for you guys though!
Hi folks,
I'm considering unifying since I quickly run out of app space. Is there any word on a L port for unify and if there is a specific unify method that has to be followed?
Thanks for your help, apologies for my ignorance.

I believe that this ROM actually supports unified storage. Check out the link that I posted at the top, and you should find unification instructions in the first post.
Great thanks BG!
Cant wait to flash.
This is awesome, I'm happy that I accidentally came to general looking for a new ROM.
Edit:
No dice on flashing the Dec 6th 5.0.1 for me (Find7a not unified)
I tried modem versions 1.2.5i and 2.02i
Edit 2:
Dont wanna rain on anyone's parade but i got the Omni 5.0 ROM to work instead.
Edit 3:
So after finding no Root yet on Omni, i went ahead and flashed NameLess again and for some reason it works. well.. yay! (Dec 6 not unified)
I have to admit it was easier to get Omni 5.0 to work over Nameless 5.0 and I came from Nameless 4.4.4 Kit Kat.

Hey, that's great! How have you found the battery life so far on Omni? I found that Nameless was a bit better in both the battery and features department, but I've been a huge fan of OmniRom for quite some time now, and would love to support their work too.

Battery life is good on Omni, however, I have to agree with you that Nameless battery life is better, and their features are more extensive.
On a side note: although the battery and features are a "bit better" on Nameless, OmniRom, in my opinion, is the gold standard for (AOSP) custom Roms. There are no fillers, they are quick to implement cutting-edge advancements, and their Roms just work. Meaning, they are stable.

That has really, over the past year, become our primary focus - on our most well supported devices, we are far more stable than many other projects. (Although the EOS guys do a damn good job too).
We're also the only project other than EOS where users of Oppo devices can routinely interact with the developers who did the hardware support of the device.
In the case of CM - Most of the work is Steve swinging his ninja sword, at least Tom does talk to users but much of the work is done by people who never come here.
In the case of all CM derivatives that blind-track CM (Nameless is in this category - in fact it was founded by some Omni maintainers who disagreed with the rest of Omni as far as blind-tracking CM vs. actually solving the problems on your device yourself.) - you're even farther removed from the people actually doing the work.
Omni and EOS both have the guys who are doing the hardware bringup communicating with users directly to look for trends and issues that stand out. (the two teams also communicate with each other...) Gummy did too before they called it quits.

Hey, thanks for the post Entropy. I really like hearing developers opinions. In all honesty, I was using your ROM before I switched to nameless (and only did so because it was the first fully functional, stable Lollipop ROM available) and would love to switch back. You guys seem to be pretty avid in releasing your builds as of late, so I'll certainly be keeping an eye out! All I really need in terms of features anyway is the ability to change button configurations and double tap something to sleep or wake the device (I hate using the power button) so once you have those, you'll have one more on the bandwagon. You guys really are doing something right here, and I intend to support it!

This is the reason I decided to stay with omni and I am really thankful that there are people like you guys out there that don't let us alone with a great device but awful default firmware (COS).
But I would really like to know your opinion about Paranoid Android, as I always thought they have (sometimes more, sometimes less) good communication to their users and a solid team of Devs that solves issues instead of blind-tracking the solutions from somewhere else.
Hi,
I just bought a Nexus 7 2013 and I'm looking for a good starter ROM. I read a few articles on the pros/cons of ROMs but those articles are a bit outdated so the information is mostly about 4.4.4 ROMs and nothing Lollipop related.
I know the best way is to try them all and there is no perfect ROM for everyone, just perfect for each of us, but from what I can understand there seems to be 3 that really pop out
- CleanROM. Pure stock with a few tweaks
- BlissPop. Popular CM build with a lot of customization ROM
- DirtyUnicorns. Popular AOSP build also with a ton of tweaks.
I'm looking for something that doesn't sacrifice stability for added options and tweaks and a ROM that even if perhaps there are daily builds, that there is a less frequent "stable" build for those like me who don't want to flash daily and report bugs.
Am I missing a ROM worth looking at? I know there is Sinless which I liked on my HTC M8, there's SlimROM too, I mean there are lots to choose from which is great, I'm just looking for perhaps the ROM that would be the "One size fits most". I'm thinking Blisspop would be a good place to start but I'm curious to hear from others.
Forgot to add that I'd rather have Lollipop without XPosed over KitKat.
Thank you
My opinion is that after trying of all of them with all different kernel combination , my pick is DirtyUnicorns with it's own kernel, UnicornBlood. I run the Weeklies build.
Official (stable releases) are built every 1-2 months , Weeklies (also very stable) every 2 weeks and Test builds are well test builds every week or so when the dev tries new things and sees if they work great to be implemented into weeklies and stable.

Awesome, I'll give it a try for sure. I remember using AOSP on my Galaxy S3 and the weekly builds were very good. I think Joel made them. Weekly updates is pretty good, I like flashing but I like to be done flashing one update before a new one is released!
Well I tried BlissPop, Dirty Unicorns, CleanROM and I have to say I might just stick to stock/rooted for now. I don't need a ton of customization, in fact the only customization I miss is the XGEL settings for Xposed because I like the google launcher but with the icon themes I bought over the years.
I'm new to the tab s, and I hope there is a stable and relatively bug free ROM that is not lollipop. Marshmallow is too new, so I hope for kitkat. I really like Cyanogenmod, but it looks like the earliest CM ROM is 12.x which, I believe, is android 5. Yuk. Not interested in terrible battery life. Any suggestion for a real solid, fast, debugged ROM for the SM-T700? I'm getting my new tablet tomorrow, and I'll be ready to root, backup and reROM right away. Hate the bloat! Thanks!
Not quite sure what you mean about terrible battery life. How is that related to lollipop?

Since a few days have passed, and I've done a lot more reading than the average person wants to do to answer these questions, and I've flashed a new ROM, I'll answer my own questions for others looking into similar questions.
It looks like many devices out there have suffered from the Android 4 to Android 5 updates, especially those forced by manufacturers. The biggest undesirable symptom being painfully reduced battery life. This is debated all over, especially since your mileage may vary. Since you can find these complaints much more frequently than with other Android upgrades, and since Google quickly released Android 6, it's safe to say there are legitimate issues here. Often people claim no such issues if upgrading to Android 5.1 (instead of Android 5.0) and/or if upgrading via a full wipe then clean flash. And since this is not explicitly the conventional update method for most users (again, mfg pushes update) then it's reasonable to assume updates from Android 4 to Android 5 may really just flat out "SUCK". Whether it's Google's fault or phone MFGs fault, it makes no difference to the end user; they will avoid the version of Android if they can't trust it.
As far as a better, stable, debloated KitKat (Android 4.4.x) ROM goes ...... sorry, too late. Pretty much all focus has been on getting Android 5 working properly. There are CyanogenMod 11 ROMs for the T700, but don't hold your breath for anything "official". I am now running CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) and it seems stable with no issues so far and the battery life doesn't seem much worse than it was when running stock the TouchWiz KitKat, which was nice but heavily bloated. This is after root, TWRP, backup, full wipe, then flash CM12.1 and gapps.
My first choice ROM would have been LiquidSmooth, because a lot of praise was given it for being stable and bug-free, but all the download links are dead, the website(s) are pretty lame, and the last builds are almost a year old, so I gave CM a shot, since there are still recent nightly builds, and it is working well.
On a side note: Android 6 (M) third party ROMS are still yet to be stable on all sorts of devices out there, and Google is about to release Android N, possibly as Android 7.
Cmon Google, get it together. Slow down and do things right, and quit making things worse, like the exSDcard restrictions.
Hey all, wanting to try Cyanogenmod on my new-to-me SII T989. I've never ran Cyan. before so I'm looking for advice. Would you guys recommend:
- last official stable 10.2
- official nightly 11.x
- Bryan2894's CM13 port
On the one hand I want to get the newest version I can run that isn't too slow in everyday use. On the other hand I don't like updating/reflashing the OS for every single minor change, I want to put something that works on and leave it for years. I'm leaning towards 10.2 or the 11.x nightly which has had lots of development. I flipped through the CM13 thread but haven't read the whole thing in detail; some people are reporting 3D games are slow?
I don't think any of the *current* apps I want to run require Android >4.x but who knows how long that will last.
Just looking for some quick opinions from more active users, thanks!
cm13 by bryan working really cool for me.
best battery,performance,smooth.
Hello guys im litle nostalgic and i do not wana change my HTC 10 im HTC user from the very begining with HD diamond HD HD2 and so on now im with HTC 10 from long time i dont upgrade to any new HTC device because of the Unibody change i hate this glass stuffs and right now my HTC 10 is still good phone i dont need a brand new because none of the latest flagships has the same visual appealing to me of course the new models everytime will have better and better specs it is normal but nobody of them have the design the feel in hand of the HTC 10
my simple question is.
As i wana use it for a daily driver what is the recomended OREO rom to use?
Im with US unlocked S off version with Nougat viper 5.1.1 fine the phone works great but with the time the new softwares and apps that i want doesnt work as i wish for example for a daily driver i need a good camera like Gcam but the problem is that the latest and most improved Gcam builds are working under Oreo and Above and im starting to miss this.
of course there are Gcam ports runing on Nougat but they are so outdated and laggy.
Im thinking of the following to flash the Oreo latest Firmware and latest US Unlocked OREO ROM and after this im stopt... since no further development and many developers stop working on that device i dont have idea what OREO ROM is best for daily driver stable and solid i dont mind to be Sense or not anyway im using NOVA launcer all the time..
just daily stable OREO ROM in order to be able to try some of the latest Oreo Gcam ports.
WHat do you recomend.?
Thanks in advance
I think i am right that the most updated sense rom is Leedroid sense rom. All the sense oreo roms are stable but i feel that Leedroid has just that little bit more to offer.
I use leedroid as daily driver and have no issues
Can't give feedback about Aosp or LOS as i never used them.
Using a used 10 i picked up on swappa from one of our members here. The battery life is around 85% but I have been using this thing as my daily driver since July. I'm on sprint so I went the bad boys 8.0 route and then jumped to LOS as soon as fagyi had it uploaded. Now I am running AOiSP 9.0 without any problems since the day after it was released. Battery life is amazing with this thing as long as you keep the kernel under thermal governor. It was overheating while streaming audio via bluetooth for some strange reason before. I am also using one of the Gcam ports with night vision and such and it works somewhat sometimes as its buggy and crashes. The pics it takes in low light are awesome though at night when it does work. For my audio mod I use Viper Xhifi loaded via magisk. I am super happy with this device I picked up for a fraction of the original price not too long ago, put a screen protector and case on it for $15 and even tossed jcase the loot for the sunshine. If you go the aosip route, it includes the LOS camera and gapps built into the system so you only have to flash one file after you wipe. Stock camera works great for pics on the regular. Also as an FYI, Fagyi still working active dev on this device and with last LOS update not too long ago. Pie is good and he may be working on whatever comes next in his spare time.
Still using mine. Can't seem to move away from it
Hell yea man. HTC10 is a great phone... Best phone made in 2016 i'd say. I'm running Android 9.0 via LineageOS w/ GApps. Few minor tweaks like greenify and adaway and kernel aiuditor and busybox and titaniun backup, which all you need root for. I flashed the most forked Android 9.0 of LineageOS for PME, running US unlocked firmware, S-OFF. Phone runs like a champ.
