That question is about as loaded as asking an international group of people what the best chocolate chip cookie is. Like any smart person would advise you, the best one for you is the one you like the most.

I know haha sorry for that. I forgot to say that im new with this type of stuff, im with stock 8.0 and never tried any ROM. That's why im asking in this forum. When i ask which is the best ROM i say which one has less bugs, better design, etc.

Stay with Stock for now... Oreo is still new for the MZP enjoy it.

There's no stable Oreo ROM as of now, and stock Oreo is better than most of the nougat builds, so I guess we need to wait for some time for a good MZP Oreo build.

How is "stable" is defined in this context? (Serious question, not a challenge or a troll) Is a ROM just informally judged as "stable" by general consensus, or it some formal release or declaration that makes it "officially" stable?
I installed RR 6.1 (O 8.1) 8 days ago and haven't had a single glitch (literally, not a single issue). I know that's only one data point though.

Yes, most of the development teams do that (even RR).
They're just termed based on the development state of that ROM, The Official ROMs (stable) are released after fixing the known bugs or issues, where as the other builds like beta, nightlies (daily), weekly builds are initial builds which needs to be worked on to resolve the bugs or issues.
I've used AOSP based Oreo just for gcam but went back to stock after a while because of some bugs, even if you tried it for a week you might not have used all the functions right.
So at the end it all comes down to your personal flavor.
If you're okay with the build, you can use it as your daily driver.

I think it's amazing, but i don't have the best frame of reference because I can't really differentiate between the device and the ROM. I purchased the MZP just a couple weeks ago from a guy who had put O 8.0 stock on it, then I almost immediately put RR on it. So I don't have a real baseline to compare to. I can say that using BBS on a 12hr overnight idle test I get 0.1%/hr which I consider excellent.

Cool, thanks for the info. This is just anecdotal but I'll say that I've explored this ROM pretty darn thoroughly (hours and hours, literally), partially because it is this first new ROM I've had since a custom L 5.0 (GoldenEye) that I've been running on my GS4 for the last 4 years, and partially because I'm neurotic and want to explore and tweak everything, it's a sickness lol.. I won't claim to have run it through the full battery of SW dev QA testing, but I have used it VERY extensively, fwiw.

I use Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 as a daily. A close second for me would be AmulyaX's 7.1.2. Both rock solid for me.

Where are the Android 9 ROMs at?

Seriously. ROMs used to be available on the Nexus withint 3-4 days. Now we got treble(have ported the image from a Pixel as well) and yet there are NO custom Android 9 ROMs. It's hit AOSP for 5 days already.

it is best to wait for official Pie from OnePlus and official kernel source for Pie
the hard work will be on them this way
developers will work hard to get a stable Pie port then all this work will go away when official Pie is available as it will be a btter base

Maybe not many devs for Oneplus devices compared to nexus i guess. Aosp builds hit nexus devices within few hours those days. Suprised to see completely working Pie build already for Xiaomi note 4 though.

I'm just surprised the OnePlus 3/3T got Android 9 before we did (considering it's an older phone and all)

We have, and working fine. Using it as my daily driver since 2 weeks.

What camera app do you use? I tried the special apk with the settings fix flashed, still it's really bad. Images are always out of focus and lack detail. I tried using the fixed camera libraries and use the arnova's gcam app but without any luck. I am interested in what others may use.

Well, its not built from AOSP I guess. Its just a system image from different pie device ported. So cannot be optimised and have bugs.

I refuse to use mokee to get proper treble support. For two reasons. One, OnePlus needs to implement it properly so that drivers are stable and etc. Two, Mokee has a terrible kernel which results in terrible SoT.

I must admit that I am generally a bit disappointed in the ROM situation with the 5t.
I always thought that Oneplus phones were among the most hacked ones out there and I expected A LOT more than what there is...

There are custom kernels to flash. With custom kernel it's actually pretty efficient. Getting same SOT and idle time as I wad getting in 8. 1 custom roms.

Our prayers have been answered. And the best part is that the rom is not featureshitbuggybloated, it is pure AOSP!

True! But atm the new gesture navigation and NFC isn't working yet and those 2 things are mandatory for me before I start flashing
2 short questions:
1. Is treble needed for the AOSP Rom?
2. Can I root my 5t without loosing my data and keeping my bootloader?

Best 9.0 PIE ROM for Pixel XL?

I plan on buying a Pixel XL 32GB, as soon as I get the money. But thinking ahead, what is the best ROM for the Pixel XL? Preferable that is well supported and maintained.

Keep it with the stock rom. That's the best for me. I was a flasholic until I bought Pixel XL.

Same.
I dabble a bit with the other Tom's here but always end up on stock with root and a kernel.
Pixel dust is nice though, so is lineage.... Well they are all nice, but I'd run stock for a while

Thanks! But when it come to kernels, which on should I use?

Bootleggers

My goto is KingKernel, with blackened mod. Many choices of governors, I/O schedulers, network TCP. Then you can decide which works for your needs. With a little practice, patience try them all

I must be the only one who keeps going back to Android O. I tried P three different times now. Each time I wipe my phone and start from scratch but still immediately notice worse battery life. Doesn't matter it I'm stock or on a ROM.. and then as soon as I go back to oreo it gets better. That said I'm probably gonna try PixelDust for Oreo I guess cause I am getting bored with stock

If you want an official custom rom with quick updates and a large community then go with Liquid Remix, they've been around forever for a reason and have roms for many devices.
If you want a rom that does NOT include any of googles apps (instead of Google Phone/Calculator/ETC you'll get base android ones) then go Lineage. It's a solid rom that packs just as much customization as the others but is unique in its own way.
If you want (imo) the best rom and can wait for updates patiently then go Pixel Dust rom. It's more akin to Liquid Remix than Lineage, doesn't update as often (monthly instead of a few times a month) but has a few features the other roms don't (custom launcher, a few unique setting options).
I myself haven't had much luck with bootleggers or benzo rom, so the above 3 are my goto's.

You're not alone! I'm sticking with Oreo. I have yet to see value in Pie - worse Recents menu, forced awkward gestures,...no thanks. I'm hoping they wise up and release a killer 10.0 Android.

There is nothing good to see in Pie, end of story. Its just one of those eye catchy release to attract the kids and level with iOS UI design that's it.

Stock rom, flash king kernel and magisk with LKT set to balance, im hitting 6h sot instead of stock 3.5h

Still rocking Dirtyunicorn 12.3 aka 8.1 until DU pie comes out!Sean

I don't necessarily have the time to be flashing between various custom ROMs and seeing what works and all that nowadays, so I usually just stick to LineageOS and the kernel they include with that. There's an unofficial LOS 16 (Pie) ROM provided by a maintainer of LOS for this device that works relatively well in my experience.

Liquid is best for me. Lots of options no slow downs it reboots. It just works.

Is this 9.0 Stock rom? How long have you had the device? Would it possible to share some screenshots for above numbers. I've been thinking of downgrading to Oreo for battery but if this battery can be achieved with 9.0, I'll probably stick to it.

Does you device lag with LKT and King Kernel?
I was able to run it smooth only with Franco Kernel, but King kernel even on "performance" profile still lags horribly.

Im currently on ElementalX with feb security update, lkt not needed to hit 5+ sot
And yes phone was a bit laggy but since the pixel for me is so fast, i didn't really mind much

The fact that it is T-mobile shouldnt matter, its the same model as the NA/Global variant. Custom ROM's are in the works. Once one becomes public, the scene will explode with others able to cherry pick what they need.

This is true - My last Op7pro I bought about 9 months after release, and there was a twrp etc etc by then, so just give it more time, this phone is really new.
Off topic, but is anybody else sick of the overheating? FML, I hate this phone cuz of that only, wish they'd fix it somehow (yeah right lol)...

avid_droid said:
There is one current tom being built,Paranoid Android,but its not close to being ready for mainstream. Hold on for a bit and hopefully soon it will be released. Last I knew the rom wasn't fully functional. Able to boot with things not working. The devs on it are waiting for their own development devices. Could be a bit but hold on.

Where can I follow progress? I'd love to track and possibly contribute. If you know where any other ROMs are being worked on I'd love to join there as well
EDIT: I see on their gerrit they added support for the 9 and 9 Pro

I'm really hoping to see ROMs make better use of the LTPO display for power saving. As is, it pretty much always runs at 120 and then sometimes drops to 60. I feel like it should drop to 60 any time im not touching it, and even lower if theres no media player. my settings app does not need to sit at 120hz lol

Right but Nostalgia aside, CrDroid or dare I say vanilla Lineage are far better options - in my humble opinion.
I'm only saying this because I flashed havoc on 3 different devices, and it's always been riddled with bugs and broken features.

I hope pixel rom is coming too. I don't like roms with crowded settings.

Help with choice of rom for rn8p

Hello,I will soon be receiving a Redmi Note 8 Pro from a friend and I immediately started searching for a custom rom to use.I have narrowed it down to 3 and would like your help choosing one.What I'm looking for mostly is a smooth rom that will still be receiving updates.
What I wanted the most is Lineage OS(since I use it on my Rn6p and I love it) but the device was not supported ,however recently someone built it(unofficially).
You can see it here: https://t.me/RedmiNote8ProOfficial/923501
He mentioned in the comments that he will be updating it once a month which I guess is good enough.
Now my other 2 choices are Corvus OS and Pixel Experience which are both official.
So does anyone has experience with any of these roms to share with me?Thanks a lot in advance and sorry if I somehow broke a rule,it's my first time posting.

I'd go PE+

I don't think the LineageOS FE you posted has a working front camera.
I personally use PE+ from May (the release from July has some serious battery drain courtesy of Xiaomi MIUI 12.5.x buggy release).

If you find anything important about it and it's not too much trouble inform me too please because I haven't been able to find anything about it.
If it gets updated once a month I like it, though if that LineageOS turns out to be good, PE+ would still be my 2nd choice.

Biggest issue for me right now is the battery drain in the latest release (July), so that's why I've downgraded to the May release.
Once the battery drain issue is fixed I'll go back to using the latest version.
I might try that LineageOS release too.
