I'm kinda bored of sense, just want to give some twist at my phone and flash an aosp based rom
too bad that, despite we share SoC with nexus 6p, there is no vanilla aosp rom, so we have to go for CM based stuff, which hasn't been my choice since today, but....actually there is no choice....
SO! AOSP guys, what are you running now? I always find cm official not so smooth, and some other roms too much feature packed without performance optimization....
give me your point!
There aren't many to choose from. Either you try RR, cm13, slim and cm13 unofficial. You can even try aicp
Don't all the AOSP roms crash as soon as you try and do 1080p video recording?
Yeah but....I mean, I want to hear your opinion, maybe you saw something I didn't in these roms!...which is your choice?
I'm currently on Vanir AOSP, and meh, the best i've ever tried is slim ROM, can't wait to have time to switch back.

slim?! mmm...too many brand-focused customizations....launcher button, navbar and stuff
wow, looks like there is something outside here
there is no vanir here so I searched and found it just googling, I also found AICP and MoKee nightlies! I thought that all stuff was here!....
do anyone know any nice project?
I currently use cm13, however, once the dev fixes music issue on RR, I will jump straight back, if you don't mind not using google music, I highly recommend resurrection remix, it is the fastest ROM for the m9 I've tried
I was wondering, are there any custom 7.1.x roms that do not contain the pixel launcher? I'm not the biggest fan of the pixel launcher (even though it looks great), I've wanted the stock launcher and as roms move forward using the pixel launcher as their stock launcher, i was wondering if there was any custom roms with substantial features without the pixel launcher, thanks.

Why wouldn't you just install a custom launcher and use that? Even though a ROM comes with the pixel launcher, you're not forced to use it.

I know this, but i really liked launcher3 and the google now simplicity built into the rom, rather than having to install a secondary launcher, I'm not complaining here, I'm just wondering if any of theses roms are out there by getting community feedback instead of flashing every 7.1 rom available atm.

Just recovered your favorite launcher apk put the apk launcher you want in system / app or priv-app
Enjoy
Hello XDA,
I on my past phones I have used a wide variety of ROMs, but on my OP3 the camera quality drops if it is not OxygenOS based.
My question is, what is the best Oxygen based ROM? I have been using FreedomOS/FOS CE for about a year, but now I see others popping up like Experience ROM.
Which of these two has more features? What other O2 based ROMs are worth nothing?
I haven't had much success with mixing CM and flashable Oxygen camera zips, so that's why I prefer to stick to Oxygen based ROMs.
Thanks
They are pretty similar. I'd prefer Experience because I'd use only the debloated ROM with Arise, Adaway, adfree youtube with supersu. I personally use Sultanxda's cm 13 build. It's stable and camera quality is almost on par with OOS.
Experience and Freedom are pretty much the same.
i personally like FreedomOS more, cause nevax always has some interesting new ideas for features. but if you want completely debloated ROM you can also choose it in aroma installer also.

Yeah I like the features and the personalized aroma installer. Seems im sticking to FreedomOS then.
I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs so if I make a mistake please correct me. As we all know, the support for the Nextbit Robin is down. I'm hoping to get a stock custom ROM that has stock Android and has the new Google Pixel vibe, thank you for the comments.
If you just want the 'Google Pixel vibe' just install the Rootless Pixel2 Launcher
If you are looking for basic custom ROM - PA, Omni, LOS are the most stable, actively developed and the most basic ROMs.
If you are looking for feature filled custom ROM - RR, Carbon, Xenon are the ROMs people like. These too are quite stable and actively developed.
I like PA and you can find my view on the ROM in that thread.

If you want a stock theme I would go with carbon rom it's pixel home touch animation is much better than any other ROMs, and still offers some customization. And yes use the pixel 2 rootless launcher it's amazing and you can download the live Google wallpapers too here is my setup on carbon

What's makes Carbon's implementation of the Pixel home button animation better than any other roms? I'm currently using XenonHD and as far as I can tell it looks exactly the game as Carbon's.
I have to agree with you on the Pixel 2 Launcher though, I love it, also paired with the new live wallpapers.

Well xenon hd has a good pixel animation but the other lineage ROMs do not, I don't recommend xenon because in terms of brute performance it score 400 lower in mutli in geekbench and 6000 lower in antutu.

UI performance is excellent on Xenon, benchmarks don't reflect true performance as well.

While I do agree with you, I have experienced more fluid performance on carbon, to achieve the same effect on xenon I have to turn the profile to performance which drains my battery more than it should
Hi,
So I'm looking for a ROM for my Pixel 2 XL but the problem is there are freaking tons of ROM's available, a lot of which seem to have the same/similar features which is a waste of developers time and not very useful for the community.
Surely it would make more sense if all the developers worked together on a few major builds, one basing on ASOP, one basing on Lineage and any of the other major bases with an Aroma installer providing options to add custom features?
Regardless of that, the type of ROM is either the "best" one that most of the community agree upon OR one that as similar to stock as possible but with extra tweaks/fixes/battery improvements... etc added to make it a fast, efficient, clean ROM.
I assume then I can get a hold of most of the custom features via a Magisk module or two?
Anyone able to tell me what the major differences are and what one sounds like it best suits me? I don't have the time to go through and install every single one of these ROM's :/
Thanks!

Short of actually installing and running the Roms to see which one fits your needs, looking through the "features" list, or following the change logs to see whats been added/removed would likely be your best bet.
Outside of the above, if you want a close to stock experience with a few custom features, look for a "pure" Rom which will have much fewer custom features in the OP.
Conversely, if you want every tool in the shed on your Rom, find the OP with the mile long list of features.
Pure Roms tend to be more stable as they are close to stock, and feature rich Roms can sometimes be a little buggy because they have 21,548 custom features (and all that extra code) to create opportunities for bugs, lag, conflicts, etc.
If you love to maintain and mess with your device, and don't mind the random minor glitch once in a while, go with the feature rich Roms (use what you like, ignore what you don't)...
If you want a daily driver that rarely needs anything other than a security update and is pretty much rock solid stable, go with the vanilla, pure, close to stock Roms.
Really, only you can determine what Rom is best for you. This doesn't even touch the subject of custom kernels (some Roms accept any cust kernel, some are more picky) color schemes, battery life, over/under clocking, etc. etc...
Good luck!
Well there's kitchen sink roms:
Havoc, bootleggers, colt, xtended, liquid, RR
Simple clean roms:
COSP, carbon, abc, DU, Lineage,
Somewhere in between:
Aex, aosip, pixel dust, scorpion,
Finding a rom with the features you want can be a moving target at times. At least there's no shortage of options hey?
