So, you can make a post asking for a ROM but can't navigate XDA?
Cyanogenmod is your best bet.
Since Huawei didn't sign their apps properly, we can't decompile stock apps and make them look like AOSP ( Stock Android ). We can use Huawei's themer app, but that only goes as far as images no xml's.
Tip: If you have no idea what I was talking about in this post, you are probably not ready for custom Roms and need to do some more reading and learning.
Goodluck.

PAC MAN Rom is the best i used for this phone imo.

I agree with above, Cyanogenmod is by far the best one we have at the moment.

Thank you. My P6 is still very new and I am a bit reluctant to tamper with it, but the lack of native Android SIP is one irritating issue that pushes me closer to flashing something...

Well in my opinion the best one is Pac-Man B120 firmware

MIUI

Favorite ROM?

Okay so I get my pixel XL tomorrow finally after being stuck with a s7 edge with a locked bootloader for a long time now and I was wondering what everyone's favorite rom was. So tell me what your favorite rom is and why you like it the best, or even if you prefer stock android with root. So far I am leaning towards installing paranoid android. Also if you want to you can give me some tips and tricks, I have not messed with a device with an unlocked bootloader in a couple years so. One last thing too, are the devs making oreo roms for the pixel xl or has everyone moved onto new devices already?

Stock Android

If your device ships with 7.1.2 you can stay on that and have a few rom choices. Go to 8.0 you have twrp and root but no real rom choices. 8.1 gives even fewer choices.
Stock Oreo 8.0 and root seems good enough.
This guide can be helpful.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-android-8-oreo-root-stock-rooted-t3660591

8.1 Dev preview with root. Great battery and stable. At least for me. Can't go wrong with Paranoid Android 7.1.2 based ROM either. You'll have to look up how to do either

I used Pure Nexus and it was fantastic, but now I'm on stock 8.0 with root and that's good too. I miss a few customization options from PN, but I can wait for it to be updated to Oreo.

Can this guide be use for Dev Prev v8.1?
Especially TWRP and Magisk?

Paranoid Android has a lot of really cool and unique features. I'm on stock though until they release an Oreo release.

There's a different thread for rooting 8.1 using magisk. Thing it uses stock recovery.

Do you think the devs are working on updating paranoid and pure nexus to 8.0 or have they moved onto something new? Right now I'm just running 8.1 with twrp and root. The battery life is unbelievable.

Pixel phones? They are a different beast...

Any OFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1 users?

Long story short, I'm looking for the most stable and refined custom ROM for the MZP. I'm currently using Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and while everything is working fine, it isn't really that refined. As it is ported from what I guess is the Google Pixel, the OS thinks that the device is a Google Pixel. For example, when I set up the device, it shows the banner "Finish setting up your Pixel". Also, when I register my fingerprint to unlock the device, the setup shows to use the index finger and touch the sensor located on the rear of the device (like the Pixel's). Charging with the phone powered off is also bugged, as it shows nothing but "Charging ??/100". I know these may seem like small things, but I'm a person with extreme attention to detail (almost borderline OCD) and things like these just bug the hell out of me, even though it isn't the devs fault at all (mad respect to Alberto).
Basically, I want a custom ROM that is MADE for the device, not ported. If you guys get what I mean. Polished is the word, I guess.
Seeing as LineageOS 14.1 is officially supported, do these cosmetic flaws exist? Can any LOS users confirm this? I apologize for bugging this sub with my stupid questions, I just want to settle with my phone once and for all.
Thank you to all for your help!

Hi there,
None of the cosmetic flaws you said exist on the official LineageOS 14.1 ROM. I'm using it for several months now and it is certainly the most polished ROM created for this device.
By the way, I've tested weeks ago Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and it was a weak experience. It wasn't optimized as I expected, some of the animations were jerky and I noticed multiple bugs.
I definitely recommend using LineageOS 14.1 ROM if you want a good experience. Also, I recommend using 7.1 ROMs instead of 8.0's/8.1's. They are way more stable and optimized.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, that's bad.
You should post a message regarding this issue on the Official Lineage 14.1 topic to make the developper aware. I think that's not hard to make the bootloader compatible, it should be some parameters to change

I contacted the maintainer and he said it's not as simple as that, as there may be incompatibilities with a bootloader from a different Android version. We're messaging each other for the past few days and he sent me a test build. The flash succeeded, though we are unable to make it boot up.

I asked him yesterday but he said that it's against rules to ask for ETAs (even when I only asked him if it would come out, I didn't ask when :/)
Read the thread, one user already posted his email address here, though don't even try to ask him stuff like that again as surely he will link that to me.

The dev (mccreary) just fixed the issue and official LineageOS 14.1 will now be compatible for Oreo bootloaders on the next build (May 2).

I have sideloaded the Oreo OTA on stock firmware.
Now i want to go back using LineageOS 14.1, anyway to do it?

Lineage 14.1 is Nougat based and it will not flash as it will display bootloader error while flashing in twrp. Wait for Lineage 15 or as djdelarosa25 said [/COLOR]

Is there any news for Lineage 15? I am kinda use to Oreo so I am looking for an Oreo ROM. I like AOSP no doubt but I'd also like to try a ROM that is build from scratch for MZP only.

I already asked him if it was in the works and he said don't ask for ETAs. I asked him again today and told him I wasn't asking for a date, just a confirmation if LOS 15 is in the works. We'll see what he says.
EDIT: So it counts as an ETA then. He said we'll just see it come out (so I guess it is in the works). But I wouldn't worry that much, the dev works really fast.
and yeah, I like a ROM that was made for the MZP as well. As much as I like Alberto's ROM, a ROM built from scratch > a port (though LOS 14.1 is Alberto's work as well). It's a pity he quit development of it.

what's with the lack of custom roms?

The Moto z play had plenty of developers dedicated to it but this has practically nothing. Is there a reason for that or did no developers buy this phone?

They're out there, google 'nash' roms and you should be able to find them. Some don't get posted here per XDA's request, the developer's, and/or both? Not sure what which is the case, but they're out there. I think they might be gearing more for treble and pie which isn't official on either side for us at the moment. With an official pie update in the future I'm sure some are hoping that'll fix some annoyances that have not been completely ironed out on the stock and custom side.

Can it be?

Sorry boys. I was working on it but I saw Jaguar Rom and decided that was about as good as it was gonna get. I own a company and it would have taken me an eternity to do it on my own with what little free time I have to dedicate to it. Jaguar does a fantastic job of keeping your data safe. Just download the vanilla version without Google crap. Install Aurora store if you need to restore any apps you got from Google. I've been using it as my DD now for a few months and I have to say, it's legit. I'm not gonna list my credentials or anything as most people on XDA know me by now, but I would say that if you think I'm wrong, please download the rom and try to find a problem that Graphene would fix. Hell they even let you relock your bootloader on Jaguar. The phone can die and your alarm will still go off if there is enough battery to start it and sound the alarm. The dev ( @optimumpro ) is super cool and was very helpful with some of the things I needed help de-goggle-fying. I highly recommend it. I'm sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. I will be asking for the thread to be closed now as I have no intentions on developing this rom as I feel it's redundant.

Where to download Jaguar for 7T?

Another rom similar to grapheneos available for op7t is divestos.org which is based on lineageos but implements several privacy and security measures and allows you to re-lock the bootloader

Agree about Divest OS, but since OP discussed Jaguar rom which is brand new, I wanted more details about Jaguar

I am the developer for Jaguar rom. Unfortunately, it is not available for Oneplus 7 series, although, I can build one for 7s, if there is sufficient interest.
Also, Jaguar for Oneplus 5, 6 , 8s and 9s has been available for many years and certainly long before DivestOS and GrapheneOS ever appeared. Just look at my profile: you don't get 14700+ 'thank yous' in a year or two. (not bragging, but rather stating the fact).

Sure, OP was discussing Jaguar of op7t which doesn't exist. That's why I was asking about it. Besides e OS, LOS18 with microg, DivestOS (fork of LOS19), yaap vanilla, flamingo vanilla, op7t does not have any other degoogled rom

I have built a trial version of Jaguar for Oneplus 7T. Please test it, since my phone is Oneplus 8.
OOS-11 (not 12) is required in both slots. Installation is the same as Lineage. Don't forget factory reset before the first boot.
Rom: Here
Recovery: Here
Kernel Source: Here
May or may not boot, but even if you boot, submit a logcat (let it run for a few minutes).
