Find 7a prospected ROMs with on-screen buttons instead?

Alright, I must say, I'm not a fan of hardware navigations keys. That is a reason as shallow as it can be to some but not for me, I like it on-screen.
So my question is, is there an existing ROMs around that supports that feature even on a phone with hardware navigation keys?
If yes, are they planning to support 7a? Thanks all in advance.
PS: doesn't want to start with the hardware versus on-screen argument(or get a phone with on-screen instead), just want to know if there are ROMs that do that

Afaik there is a xposed framework plugin that enables onscreen buttons

good to know:good:
although, personally, I prefer it be built-in into the ROM coz sometimes xposed(or maybe the module) gets in the way of the ROMs' stability, etc. as far as I've seen on other threads
but if that's the last resort, I may still consider that xposed thingy

If I can set the hw buttons behavior I don't see the point in using SW buttons.. The space is used, so why to reduce dimensions of the useful screen?

as i've mention, it's my preference and don't want to start an argument with on-screen versus hardware nav keys
to each his own and i understand that
and yes, it's also good if the hardware can be set as back-HOME-recent setup, I can tolerate that(again personally my opinion only)

I just saw One+'s feature regarding switching to on-screen or capacitive keys. That's quite neat being a built-in feature. Oppo 7 hope will have this built into their ROM as well.

I prefer on screen buttons myself so I can set them up my way (four across in my chosen order) but I cant say I would be willing to give up screen area for them as you would be doing here. Regardless xposed will usually play well with others if you keep it to a minimum, its when you pile on the changes that things usually go wrong. Might be worth a try if nothing else comes up.

i already found a way to disable capacitive buttons and enable onscreen/soft-keys buttons. Its pretty hacky though and involves root and commenting a few things in Generic.kl in system/usr/keylayout. Also adding a line to build.prop

Great, the 7a will be available here at my place next week. So having this mod ready is really good. Just hope there's no delay on the availability here.

While I've generally been "not a fan" of hacks like this, since CM is officially doing it on the OnePlus - I'm going to look into this eventually for Omni. (I think maxwen has already implemented 75%+ of it on the N1...)
With Omni though, my top priority after basic bringup is figuring out a way to have unified storage in an optional way.
ayysir - don't try to use the omni f7a kernel in its current state BTW. I screwed up merging something somewhere in the display code and it IOMMU faults where stock usually does the contsplash handoff.

I love you for this entropy.

Unified storage? Oh yes. That would rock. I have no idea why OPPO chose to go with the ancient implementation of the 3GB partition for apps.
I prefer hardware keys myself, but giving people the choice would be cool.
I can't wait until I get my 7a.

Omni kernel is now usable - at the very least, the kernel/device tree produces a usable TWRP.
It also builds successfully when using blobs from teamgruntled - but I have yet to actually try flashing it. (plan is to whip up an eng build tomorrow, I'm too busy tonight to make any progress.)

teamgruntled for blobs temporarily since I might forcepush-rebase the blobs once or twice, kernel/device tree are in omni github.
Current state of the device tree is almost guaranteed to result in massive bogosity if flashed. As in if I'm afraid to flash it to my device you should be too!

Privacy

Hello there.
I am about to flash this ROM.. but I stopped for a second when I thought about...
Are there any major differences in the field of privacy ? Apart from the Factory ROM and PA ROM ?
Am I gaining or losing anything here?
Thanks

Eh?
For starters, if you don't want Google apps, you don't have to flash gapps...I don't really know what you're looking for.
What privacy concerns do you have?

Mainly I was wondering if the developer of the ROM collects any kind of information, or can collect.

i heard from telegram group that they open donation for PixelExperience ROM devs to buy Mi 9 SE and for boosting the development

And where? I would like contribute too. MIUI is not bad but me like old Nexus user have more like Lineage OS or pure Android.

since i don't use telegram, could someone give a status on the PixelExperience ROM.
Is work already in progress or are there still donations to be made to organize a Mi9se for development?

Hi,
You can check there:

Since I don't use telegram, how far it is?

You can try the Havoc non GSI ROM. It's my daily driver ans it's awsome. Works very very better than GSIs (I tryed Havoc GSI and Flokorom GSI before that rom)

POCO-F3 - Google Drive

I doubt it's very stable... Not even an XDA thread. Don't know if this phone will receive good support... Which is sad, cause mine arrives tomorrow morning. I had hoped for good custom ROM support, but that doesn't seem to be the case

There are a fair few devs working on the device. There are device trees so any custom ROM can be built and MIUI customised ROMs are also being released. On top of this there are two superb devs currently working on dynamic a/b partitions to make TWRP stable. This is difficult as there is a lot of guesswork involved as the phone was released with Android 11 and so the partition setup is quite unknown

Hmm, yeahhh, cos there's only around 15-20 ROMs, a couple of kernels and a couple of twrps, plus whatever else is in the pipeline... how many more do you want? lol

I just installed the version from the Gdrive above and so far its great. So many customizations and no hiccups yet.
Will edit if anything changes.

one problem is that why he wrote offical even though its unofficial rom

Battery life is great, I can use the phone actively without noticing the battery depleting. System resources minimal if as long you don't use bloated apps. I have magisk installed with things like energized protection, viper4android and more working fine. Even apps like bluemail work on this ROM while on others I had no luck.

And the pocket detection isn't a battery killer too? In other ROMS I've tried I had to disable this for the battery consumption

It doesn't appear to be but I understand your point. It would take some benchmarking to be sure.

General ROMs list - table with specific ROMs features (Google Sheets, objective and subjective things)

Hi,
Recently I was looking for the best ROM for myself for my personal device and made a table for myself with the specific functions I needed. Thought it was worth sharing, it might be helpful if you are looking for a ROM for Poco F3. But it can also be helpful if you are looking for a ROM for a different device, and when specific ROM is in this table, because some ROMs are same on different devices.
All ROMs are AOSP or AOSP-like looking. Not any MIUI-based ROM tested by me. Remember, some things are subjective, like what ROM have bad design (gore) and what ROM not. Some other things are objective like launcher default included in specific ROM.
The list is updated as of today, but may expire quickly as there are changes in some ROMs.
26.07.2022 UPDATE: Unfortunately, the file below is currently not shared (not available to view now) due to problems with the Google server. Maybe too much viewers or something like that. DON'T ASK FOR SHARE FILE FOR NOW, I CAN'T FIX THIS, BLAME GOOGLE.
26.07.2022 UPDATE: Now fixed.

THANK YOU !!

Hi OP, thanks for sharing this list you make to help others. I have changed the tag from Development to General as Development is only for developers to post ROMs. Also I removed the telegram links, because telegram group is for developers only. Thank you for understanding.

This is brilliant! Thanks OP for sharing it here!
I don't know if you're taking suggestions for more tables but I was hoping you could add "Unlimited Google Photos storage" as one of them.

Bro which rom did you think was the best among these?

What about MIUI EU?

What is mean "way to set AMOLED" ?

It's option in settings like on attached screenshot (for now Awaken OS here), in some ROMs there is specific setting that make backgrounds completely black #00000 under dark mode settings or somewhere else, it depends on ROM where this setting is

I don't like MIUI personally, it's archaic and inconsistent (for example MIUI still not have support for Monet engine for MIUI apps, it have mostly gore themes in their theme store, ugly quick settings etc)
