Hello. My unlocking waiting period is off in a few hours and I was wondering whats the best ROM to flash.
Things that are important to me;
Camera
Battery
Customization
Leave your reccomendations please
Miui Eu from xiaomi eu community if u want those 3 plus Oreo
Miui pro if you want more customization but nougat version....their Oreo is very laggy. Trust me.....very laggy. You'll feel you have 4 year old phone,not a sd835 flagship. Hope they fix Oreo build soon
If you like miui you should use either Xiaomi.eu, MIUI Pro, Epic Rom or Globe Rom.
I personally prefer stock Android ROMs so I've been using resurrection remix myself. The 05/01 build has proven very stable to me. It has OMS so there is lots of theming support and the RR settings provide all the customization you want I get about 8 to 10hrs of screen on time on either miui or RR.
MI-Globe rom. A lot of customizations, sadly most of these aren't working on Miui 9/Oreo.

It does not work for me. Not even a normal speed charge works. If the screen is on while charging, charge goes down. Also, it seems to report wrong battery charge status as well.
How the hell you guys reporting different experience using the same ROM.
I'm also a bit frustrated with ROM development status here with devs are easier to get disiniterested working on the ROM they've baked and jumped on working on another ROM.

Once you have 2-3 gigs of apps to be reinstalled on new ROM, jumping around the ROMs is not a fun thing to do.
Also it sucks if you donated to the developers and have the ROM abandoned couple weeks after.
I'd rather pay a decent amount monthly for a well-maintained ROM.

I'm not looking for customisability, I'm just looking for a ROM with solid battery life and is not overloaded with random gimmicky gestures and features like that. Is there any custom ROM like that? Or should I just go back to using Oxygen OS/Freedom OS, I didn't have a very good time using those two. Currently I am using Uniquity which feels nice but it keeps unrooting for some strange reason and I need root for certain apps that I use.
FreedomOS and bluspark kernel. Great battery life and performance is also very good on oxygen
VertexOS is a really nice one... It runs buttery smooth.. And I mean really smooth.. And it is pretty minimalistic.

I recommend Sultan 's CM13 based on MM. It doesn't have any gimmicky. Just pure ROM perfect for daily use with great battery life & Camera.
VertexOS does look pretty compelling, a bit worried because they said 60fps recording may face stability issues . Looking foward to trying it out though.
I am using freedom os and default kernal is has gud battery life but i want to tweks kernal i want to change max usb current input but not able to do so
Sultans cm rom is excellent

So you're prolly going to never have a custom rom. I really doubt if they release their camera frameworks, especially for G3.

Do you know where can i find info about what companies release their camera frameworks, im aware that custom roms cant really do anything with the two camera phones (v10/20). Does the pixel have the released frameworks? Also ye the camera quality drop is pretty ****ing huge., if it was like 20% drop ill be ok with it.

I dont wanna sound like a picky brat but ye, the diference is vast. Also i tend to install the 7.1+ roms
I am using crDroid 3.6 currently. I was always reluctant to jump unto custom roms due to the poor camera quality. I loved the swiftness of the custom rom but would always fall back to stock based roms due to the camera. That was until I discovered Bacon Camera. As far as I can tell, it has the same quality as the stock camera. I don't know how they managed to do it but the results are no different than stock to my eyes. I am so glad I found this. No more going back to laggy stock roms.

Try Bacon Camera. Best camera on G3 custom roms that I have seen so far. 2nd best is the ported G2 camera but its interface is all messed up.
Its time for me to try a custom rom and wanted to know in your opinion what is the best rom and why.
Please and thanks

I did read and donewant to fresh install if I don't have to. Like other said. I'm asking for opinions.
I know what he asked and I know what he's looking for but opinions shouldn't matter when you have something called a custom ROM. Custom means it's going to be different for every user. The whole point is the ease to do a titanium backup and flash a new ROM and try it out for yourself and see.
Does it hurt to get opinions?

I've been using Scorpion since November, I haven't tried any of the others. It has everything I want in a custom ROM. The others come from solid developers, so you really can't go wrong with whichever you choose

Troll much?? Nothing wrong with suggesting a rom. You say it depends on the user. But not entirely. Some might be more stable , some may have bugs etc etc. Get a life man
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------
And my answer....any rom I run krisakura kernel with. Its stable and you get good battery life...imo gives you the smoothest experience too.
I would say scorpion has the most customisation but stable. AOSIP has a lot of customisation but not as much as scorpion, but again is stable and with good battery.
DU has less customisation again but again very stable and smooth. haven't tried dotOS as I believe it doesn't support the pixel stand or the squeeze feature yet.
Really you can't go wrong with scorpion, AOSIP or DU. but it depends on what customisation tweaks you like. For example scorpion has different fonts baked in where as AOSIP or DU doesn't. Or AOSIP has the new battery icon from Android q. Etc etc.
Hope that helps a little lol
Forgot to mention aqua OS is good too with a good amount of customisation.
Also if you like updates I would say the most frequently updated rom is AOSIP

Scorpion or DU.... I used to swear by DU, but have been on Scorpion for the last two months. It has a few extra features that are absent in DU, but its not overloaded with features.

Scorpion is based off DU, we took that great ROM and added in the features we wanted without sacrificing all the things that make DU great. Gotta say, I'm looking forward to what can be done when Q drops
I have limited time and internet data for testing as i'm abroad. Is there a difference in Battery life between Full stock, Stock ROM with custom kernel, Custom ROM and Android Q?
I'm on Stock + Kirisakura kernel + Universal GMS Doze but i have not been impressed with Battery life. Just today went to work 5 hours, only used PowerAmp for music for 2h30min. I started off 92 battery and its gone to 67% in 6 hours with 9 hours left to go. I've a feeling it can be better?
So, there's plenty of ROM options available to us currently. I've been hesitating massively on trying any of them due to being a bit burned by previous experiences with some not so great ROMs on other phones I've had previously. So tell me, in your opinion, what's the best ROM available right now? I'm looking for things that have the good battery life, a mostly lag-free experience, the less bugs the better, etc. The best overall ROM in general, basically. If you're using a custom kernal too instead of stock or the one that comes with the ROM, please mention it in a reply along with what you voted for.
Thanks!
I currently use POSP v3.1+8. This ROM is great if you want a proper taste of Android Q. I am using the stock kernel that comes with the ROM and opengapps pico package. I've never had any problems so far, but that's mainly because I don't use social media apps like Instagram. The software has its bugs and the battery life isn't great yet, but the Dev is working diligently to squish the bugs and that's what makes it for me. Best battery life and stability you can have is on Stock right now, especially if you debloat the ROM using shell, battery life is superb. I just can't stand Pie's ugly interface. MIUI ROM is sooo amazing, except for some little performance issues, especially on recents screen. MIUI ROM effectively transforms your Mi A2 Lite into a Redmi 6 Pro. But I've had a lot of privacy concerns over it. ROM's not open-source and Google + Xiaomi apps come preinstalled. If you respect your privacy MIUI is not the ROM for you. Pixel Experience on the other hand was a total mess. A lot of bugs + bad battery life. I haven't tried the other ROMs mentioned, but Stock Oreo is the way, if you want amazing stability, proper Gcam + incredible battery life. I literally could not drain the battery on Oreo. If you like the UI of them, stock ROMs are the way to go for stability. I'm using POSP because I just want the new features that Xiaomi should've provided us a loooong time ago.

I'm currently using this rom, in my opinion the best rom, even if without updates maybe I'll switch back to POSP later, but the battery consumption (idle) has to get even better.

Heyo Lacia here!
Do you have telegram by any chance since i released some stuff on there for POSP and if you want to use POSP i heavily recommend flashing the chunchunmaru!_r3.1 kernel too. Too improve SOT and Idle drain and fix some smaller bugs like DT2W and Data usage not working

Theres no 100% stable rom. I mean atm all of them have some minor bugs and gcam often freeze and reboot the phone. At least this was my experience with roms and gcam... Every time I try roms I just get fed up with (mostly gcam being slow and buggy) so I'm going back to stock after a couple of weeks.
Anyways try posp with the recommended kernel. Also you can find gcam at the themes forum here on xda.

Don't expect a stable build of 10 from Xiaomi soon. We had a Gcam configured for A2 Lite by hass31 but it doesn't work properly on stock Pie and it will NOT work on 10. Other than that I'm currently using the gcam in the apps and themes forum with the provided xml. It works wonders but video doesn't work. I've noticed that video recording on stock vs gcam doesn't make much of a difference.
Try HybridOS but high battery drain is still issue
My previous phone was Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and it had a ton of custom ROMs and features. But even though the 7T doesn't have a large number of custom ROMs, I'm very happy with the Oxygen OS since it very similar to the stock Android and has necessary features.
I want to know that what all Oxygen OS unique features will I miss if I switched to a custom ROM? I mean the features that won't get in any custom ROM. I know the features that present in every custom ROMs but I can't figure out which unique feature will I miss from Oxygen OS.
Nothing
You'll lose face unlock. I haven't found one yet that has it
You'll miss the following things:
1.Proper refresh rate switching
2.Reliable fp
3.OIS
4.Pro mode
5.48 mp
6.Portrait.
7. Fix for wide angle distortion
8. Noise reduction
9. Good battery life
10. Stability
Don't bother flashing custom ROMs if you need everything working and want peace of mind. Sure you can use gcam on custom ROMs but that still doesn't fix OIS, pro mode,48 mp and wide angle distortion
You'll lose stability. There are no proper Custom ROMs for this device yet.
Besides, OxygenOS already feels like a very stable custom rom so why bother anyway?
Just flash beta if you're really itching to try something "new".

Thanks all for the answers. I've been using custom ROMs (even developed a few) since the decade old Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus, and I always preferred those with both feature rich and similar to stock Android. The Oxygen OS is very well polished, stable and looks very similar to the stock Android, and since I started using my OnePlus 7T I even forgot about custom ROMs. After reading your points I think it is better to stay away from custom ROMs. If this was a few years ago I wouldn't have a second thought, I'd definitely try them. Don't know what is pulling me back (age ??). Anyways thank you all again.

I bought a OnePlus device because I thought I'll be flashing a lot of ROMs and kernels like my Nexus devices.
It turned out to be quite different since there's not even an official TWRP (yet).
Don't even bother, I have tested all available custom roms and returned to stock after a week of use. When you flash custom rom, at first looks like a refreshment, something different, but after a few days of use, you will notice problems (bugs). On one of the custom roms, my phone just shut it self, an I was not able to boot anymore. So, Oxygen is still the best, fastest and most stable. I think that One Plus has the best software on the market, and because of that, it was my choice

I am having a much better time on AOSiP than OOS. Probably TreskMod too, and soon Paranoid Android.

You'll miss the following things:
1.Proper refresh rate switching
2.Reliable fp
3.OIS
4.Pro mode
5.48 mp
6.Portrait.
7. Fix for wide angle distortion
8. Noise reduction
9. Good battery life
10. Stability
Don't bother flashing custom ROMs if you need everything working and want peace of mind. Sure you can use gcam on custom ROMs but that still doesn't fix OIS, pro mode,48 mp and wide angle distortion

1. already exist
2. Almost on par with OOS
3. This is hardware, of course there is
4 , 5 , 6 , 7: Maybe Gcam can do something about this? Arnova recently posted a new version with lots of fixes specifically for OnePlus devices.
9. I have pretty much the same as OOS
10. Choose a good ROM with a developer that actually knows what he is doing and you won't have any problems.
Have you guys even tried a custom ROM?

Yes I have tried all of them! And doesn't matter which custom rom, OOS is hard to beat this time.
Combined with Arters kernel you will get the best battery results! On custom rom you could only dream about it.
Im a guy who always flash custom roms, but this time i'll stay on oxy. Treskmod is a great alternative, but you won't get same SOT as OOS + arter.

Thanks all for the answers. I've been using custom ROMs (even developed a few) since the decade old Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus, and I always preferred those with both feature rich and similar to stock Android. The Oxygen OS is very well polished, stable and looks very similar to the stock Android, and since I started using my OnePlus 7T I even forgot about custom ROMs. After reading your points I think it is better to stay away from custom ROMs. If this was a few years ago I wouldn't have a second thought, I'd definitely try them. Don't know what is pulling me back (age ??). Anyways thank you all again.

That's what I think the reason for me not rooting as well. Age and new edition of kids...twin boys to be exact in my life. And raising them alone is the biggest so time if a factor. I will admit I miss a few things which require root like ad adaway, Viper mod, various simple edits like turning on features like caller ID and other little stuff, and prob a few other things. But it is what it is. I bet sports using a app from Station Casinos in Vegas and the app will not work it won't let you sign in with dev options unlocked and I have a feeling it will def not if root in enabled. I'd have to decompile the app and figure out where the controller is for that and changed it but after I do that it will prob get updated like always happens and have to do it again so I'm just riding stock but I can't lie the itch is strong!

1.Not as good as OOS
2.Nope,fod-ext is unreliable, especially at low brightness on 7t
3. Try capturing a video on custom ROM vs OOS and then come back. Yes it's hardware based but not 'only-hardware' based
4,5,6,7 Yeah gcam is good but it's not possible to fix wide and distortion and pro mode stuff
Yes,I've tried every damn custom ROM which exists for 7t and I've returned to OOS,Everytime!

Yeah,if someone still needs to try out custom ROM, definitely try AOSiP and treskmod. Treskmod will give slightly lesser battery life than OOS/AOSiP tho. And don't expect PA for 7t to materialize,that herna dude has ruined PA for both 7t and overall.

You are a legend. I remember your work... Maybe One Plus 7t is not so lucky.
