What would be the best ROM to use that is as close to stock as possible but running android 7.1 or 8.1 etc.
I don't want or need any mods or custom features, just simple stable with maybe root.

The best, most current is LineageOS and here is yesterday's 20181208 build available. LOS provides a native root solution which you activate in the developer options. If you are concerned with privacy and battery drain, then either do not install the Gapps spyware at all, or install LineageOS for microG with great FOSS alternatives.
Please read more on the microG and on The NO GAPPS Initiative websites.

Currently using Lineage 14.1 microg (7.1.2). Not having google services really make the tablet excel in battery life. Currently getting 9+hours sot with youtube watching/reddit/twitter

I was WP/iOS user and recently switched to Android. Just got my OP3, which is my first Android device. I am wondering, which custom ROM should I get. I kinda need more battery life and SOT so I want to ditch the OOS.
Do note that I have literally 0 use for fingerprint scanner, android pay and camera (well, not fully but any mediocre quality camera/pictures will work).
Also, I would appreciate if there is any guide or video tutorial, showing the whole process of custom ROM installation.
I would recommend Cyanogenmod 13.0 with Elemental X kernel.

OOS is a great near-stock rom tbh, but if you still want to try another I'd recommend Sultan's CM
Would recommend you to stay with stock as you may feel all this tweaking thing a bit laggy (coming from iOS , which doesn't let you even customize properly) but for sake of having the taste of tweaking :
Its a 2 part step
1) Unlocking bootloader , installing TWRP , backing up your data (as this will completely wipe out your phone) including whats app (using google drive built-in feature) and messages (using "SMS back up and restore" available in Play Store) . Avoid using links provided in video discriptions

2 ) Installing Custom Rom close to stock with patched Kernal would be better for you to address battery and SOT issue and lot of audio mods , I would suggest freedom OS 1.6 CE ,

I'd say OOS on stock has the best battery. If you want some rock hard stability along with battery, go for ElementalX kernel on OOS. If you dont want OOS so badly, then go for sultanxda s rom.

I've never been interested in securing my phone and thought I would not use the FP scanner but found it is the quickest and easiest way to unlock the phone so I use and love it now. Just a quick press and the phone is ready to go instead of a double-tap + swipe etc. I suggest you get familiar with OOS for a while before you jump.
Resurrection Remix Blackjubel is great
There es elementalx Kernel preinstalled
It's smooth and stable and battery life is also good.
And you have many in build Features so you don't have to install xposed.

Just at OOS, just root it, install Xposed and use Amplify and Greenify. It'll boost your SOT a lot. Also don't use Chrome browser. It drains battery a lot.
No one can tell you what the best custom ROM for you is as everyone's preferences vary, my advice stick to stock for now . SOT will improve over the first week of usage and you need to get to know the device / OS before choosing a rom to mitigate any perceived weaknesses. Take your time assessing new roms, as I said SOT will take about a week to stabilise. Above all enjoy yourself it only takes a few minutes to flash a new rom do why not try them all.
New to android?
Then start reading, you have a hell lot of things to learn, don't blindly jump into what random users says is good, laziness will damage your phone and diminish your trust in Android
Sent from my Darkside of Edge plus
I am giving my girlfriend my Nexus 5x while I am out of the country and am hoping to be able to keep some of the extra features of a custom ROM like tethering, tap to wake and a custom kernel without compromising stability and ease of updating over stock.
Currently I am using the latest Nougat based PixelROM and I like the additions of it but I am unsure if the Oreo release is totally solid or easy to update. If none of the Oreo roms are stable I will just restore to stock but wanted to get opinions first.
Thanks in advance!
AICP has been stable for me since I installed it in mid-January, no force closes, random reboots, or unexpected battery drains. It's based on LineageOS though, not stock.
@jolness1: I recommend ABC, latest bullhead-update: features ≈Pixel, stable, regular updates, lovely devs.
@rp158 are you use gapps because I have battery drain on ABC (clean install) and now I use AEX extended unofficial with NanoDroid mod and rocks fine without drain.
@Luca Toni, why should I use GApps Are you sure, you took the recommended package?
@rp158 Yes , I've been on recommended gapps by ezio.

Hey guys, I wanted to ask some questions...
1. Should I go for android P? What are the main features that would make me switch to it?
2. Should I go for LineageOS or OxygenOS? Again, what are the differences? Which one is better for battery? How strict is OOS for Xposed?
3. I saw some not-official Xposed's, are they working?

What do you mean how 'strict' is OOS for Xposed?
I haven't really needed to use Xposed for awhile. It was just so I could use YT with no ads/background playback. Now I use YT vanced. A lot of other features previously only available with Xposed are now either built-in or available as a Magisk module.
Also I'm not even sure if Xposed framework has been released for Pie...
As far as which rom to use, if you get replies here theyll be mostly split. Some swear OOS is better, some like the extra features you can get from AOSP or other custom ROMs.
Ive been using AOSP Derpfest for awhile now. It's fast, stable, decent battery and has enough extras built-in. Haven't used Lineage since it was CynanogenMod so I can't comment on that.
Forcus on stable, you should use OOS Pie
If you need extra feature, I such guest use AOSP. I personal is DU fan alongtime.
But you can try Code Name Phoenix or Omni Treskmod
OOS pie if you want a daily driver. While there are a number of decent custom roms out for pie (several of which are generally considered superior to LOS), they all have their own quirks and issues. Either way, if xposed is a must, you can use magisk to install edxposed, an unofficial pie port of xposed which remains controversial.
Use like oos or aosip. Both very stable.
Stock Oreo.
OOS Pie 9.0.4 introduces a lot more lag and scrolling jitter than OOS Oreo.
If you don't mind that, use Pie.
Can't comment on custom ROMs, but you're risking stability, camera performance and reliability if you use custom ROMs.
I can second omni treskmod it is totally smooth unlike stock pie rom and the battery is good too.

No lag here, Pie runs perfect.
I can say MSM xtended and Blissrom are very very stable. Everything works. Battery is very good and performance is top. Of course OOS should be even stabler but I personally prefer some custom rom features.
Hello,
I never unlocked or rooted my note 8 pro but I have security concerns after I found some odd behavior. I also have reasons to believe it's happening and experienced previous hacking. Is there any ROM that improve security, or that let you improve security by installing other apps (e.g. firewaill apps requiring root etc...).
Thanks

Generally I would recommend these alternatives:
CalyxOS
GrapheneOS
LineageOS
Resurrection Remix OS
/e/ Foundation
But as what I find there are really just two options for you:
Resurrection Remix OSResurrection Remix OS is an Android-based OS which focuses on security and stability. It is very customizable and contains many personalization options out-of-the-box. Uses so called OTA-updates which makes it very easy to update to new version and therefore enables you to always be up to date with security updates.
Read more: https://resurrectionremix.com/
/e/ FOUNDATION/e/ is the “unGoogled” version of Android. It ships without any Google apps or Google services accessing your personal data. It has high compatibility for apps. It do automatically decipher the app code, so that you can see which and how many trackers are in the app. It also shows all the permissions the app is using and gives you an easy-to-read scoring for whether an app seems safe or not.

* Method 1
1/Backup your data
2/Unlock bootloader
3/Use Mi flash tools to flash (fastboot rom) and lock again
* Method 2
1/Backup your data
2/Bypass
3/Use SP flash tools to flash fastboot rom
Don't download random apps from Google Play Store and click on random links on Internet. And Miui is more security than other custom roms. It asks for permissions everytime you install apps or do anything (That make me sick and change to custom rom). So don't blame rom for your fault. Time to change your password and anything. If you dont use China phone, I suggest flash Indonesia rom for Miui Dialer + Gapps.
Hello everyone,
since my OnePlus 9 Pro doesn't work as fast as I expect, I'm wondering if installing a custom operating system would make it faster. I want degoogled phone, and I would like to be able to restore WhatsApp Chats from OxygenOS backup.
Which Custom ROM do you recommend? LineageOS?
Will Android be faster after installing Custom ROM and is it even necessary to install Custom ROM for speed? Or do you have a suggestion of what to do with OxygenOS to make it fast?
Thank you!
I would find a aosp rom most pute source if you want speed. Also if I were you I would use swift backup to save and restore my apps and data if going to other roms
toolhas4degrees, can you explain how can I do that? at least the first thing you mentioned?
hello,
Long story short:
1. CustomRom: Carbon Rom because battery life is good but for bugs you need to check for yourself
Optional for Battery-Life improvement and issue tracking:
1. "MinMicroG" as a flashable option instead of Gapps ( Skip this if you don't want microG and use Google apps)
2. app "Warden" to analyize apps which are using "Trackers, Google Analytic Services and Ad services" (Some Apps are extreme battery hogs probably because of some Services, Receivers and Wakelocks as i recognized)
3. use app like Servicely or similiar to disable receivers and services (as mentioned above)
4. Use Gsam Battery Monitor for Wakelocks and an advanced battery-usage-Statistic
5. Tasker for Automation for turning things off like Wifi etc. (only for experienced or "willing to learn" users, not necessary)
Note: Custom Rom with MicroG support is needed for MicroG to work (CarbonRom, LineageOS)
Note: For OSS Backups i have no experience, normally Whatsapp makes a backup to Google Drive or atleast local on your phone.
@AndroiduserBlazeIf you need some guidance trough the mentioned procedures, i will try to guide you through.
Ps: if you are still OSS with all your data in place, you can backup and restore via Android Debug Bridge
Best Regard's

Is Carbon ROM faster than LineageOS?
It is difficult to say, I think CarbonRom and LineageOS are close up but not really similar.
I would prefer CarbonRom (android 11) because you can customize your experience a little bit more than LineageOS. I have ran and still run CarbonRom with issues of course but a battery life way better then OSS in my experience.
The other Customroms with Android 12 are not really stable.
I had similar problem with my Huawei P8 LITE 2017 PRALX1, since the last emui update my phone was slow and soft crashing every time and battery wouldnt last long (screen turns black and i'm back at the unlock screen) so I decided to at least try to fix it, after somes adventures I unlocked the bootloader and installed LineageOS 17.1 with android 10 (recent version dont work very well yet, think it comes from the kernel)
My phone was running as new, battery was lot more better, and everything worked except the back camera, I think I broke it when I was opening the phone (tbh not a big deal since I never use cameras anyways)
I opted for LineageOS though. Can anyone tell me how to restore WhatsApp (because it is the only application I want to restore) on the newly installed Custom ROM? Can this chat database be found in Google's drive and just copied to the new Whatsapp on LineageOS?
Thanks in advance!
Can someone tell me why this error appears by trying to flash LinegeOS;
"error: cannot load 'lineage-18.1-20220308-recovery-lemonadep.img': No such file or directory"? Where do I need to put the image file so that he recognise it? I use linux
EDIT: I got it. Problem solved. I just gone into the Downloads folder where I downloaded the image file. Now I´m trying out my new LineageOS ond my One Plus 9 Pro
