LOS 16 Firmware? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm currently using the latest nightly build for Lineage OS 16 and the OOS 5.0.8 firmware (latest stable i could find)
My wifi performance is allot worse than in OOS and i have a feeling my reception is as well. (1/3th of the speed in OOS)
although usable, i think i need another firmware+modem.
The open beta's seem older (version 3? something) is this correct?
Is my best bet to wait for Android Pie update from Oneplus to get a better firmware/modem ?
thanks

got a fresh V500, which Android to install?

Just got an unused v500 . What should I do, leave it with Android 4? Or install ASOP 7.1? Whats best for normal usage? Is it fast enough for the newest Android version? Any disadvantages?
I have v500 since past two years, so far AOSP 7.1 and LineageOS official latest nightly are the best , though I prefer Lineage since AOSP 7.1 has some performance issues.
Thanks I give the Lineage thingy a try then.

Are 6.0 Roms better for performance or 7.0 Roms?

So the T-mobile stock rom is stuck in 4.4 as we all know and I wanted to know if another rom would make it faster or slower? Which would be the best rom for performance and what OS 6.0, 7.0, or 5.0 is generally better. Also, battery life is a concern
Similar concern, how are last builds of cm 13? I know 7.0 is in flux with transition to lineageos. But I'm about to pull the trigger on a used s4 to be my new daily driver. It's the most compact GSM phone with relatively modern specs and good custom ROM support
Any input greatly appreciated
The last build of CM is rather stable and has proved to be the most reliable for daily use. AlaskaLinuxUser seems to be the only remaining active dev for the M919. He recently mentioned that he will continue to support the (currently 7.1.1) AOKP rom, which for the time being is the only actively maintained Android N rom for our obscure variant of the S4. It is rather stable but there are a few quirks. If we are lucky, an official Lineage 14 build will be made available soon. I wouldn't count on it though!

im getting random reboots on aokp, what is the best aosp rom for s4 rn? (nougat or otherwise?)
Same here, I've had several issues with 7.x.x roms and rather dreadful battery life. I would recommend the final build of CM 13 as a stable OS until some milestones are met.

Was there any precedent case where a device skipped an official LOS version?

By LOS, I mean LineageOS.
I have noticed that it is not getting a nightly build over a month since LOS 16.1 was released. I guess this is because N7's official LOS version is 14.1 and LOS does not provide updates for versions that is more than 1-major-version older. (That is, they currently only updates LOS 16.0 and LOS 15.1)
One could think that N7 skips LOS 15.1 and get LOS 16, but my question is, was there any such precedent case for any other device? If not and N7 has been abandoned by LOS for good, I would probably have to abandon LOS and get some other custom ROMs for N7.
I don't know the answer to your specific question but I have installed an unofficial LineageOS 15.1 for Nexus 7 2013 with the latest (March) security updates.

I'm really pleased overall. Seems snappier and more battery efficient as compared to 14.1. Everything works apart from I have no compass, but I think this might be a hardware problem (not sure as I didn't check before updating). Obviously with it being unofficial there are no OTA updates and I'll have to keep an eye out for any new updates and do it manually. I did try a Pie rom but it seemed laggy and buggy.

[fw] 8.1.40 MM global stable firmware for later roms.

Xioami has released tons of firmware, but those who are long time user might be aware of how stable 8.1.4.0 global stable mm rom was. It was last MM update.
Everything Worked perfectly from battery, performance to even less heat up except fingerprint.
Flashing 8.1.4.0 MM fw is blocked by all later miui roms.
So just to test if it works on aosp based roms, i extracted firmware from it and made flashable zip of 8.1.4.0, and tested it on android 9.0 ie. Syberia rom, JDC older version. To my surprise its working amazingly.
Even my sot has been increased by 20% atleast, usually i got 5 hrs around, now i am getting around 6 plus hours.
no heating up much, perfomance is great, i been using it since last one week, recently updated to latest syberia pie. Try it yourself. It works on most aosp roms unless it is blocked in flashing script of roms. 9.0 roms, 8.0, 7.0 .. if its blocked, you can flash it after flashing rom. you can even try on miui.

Try it yourself, let me know how it works for you not only on syberia, but other aosp based roms if you are using.
please note: fingerprint doesn't work in pie, nougat roms.
Regards.

Rolling back to stock ROM on OP5T

Hi there, I recently flashed a custom rom called "Ressurction Remix" and immediatly I missed the good ol' OxygenOS ROM.
what is the most stable OxygenOS build in terms of battery life that was available for the 5T? looking mostly for android Oreo, but Pie is good too.
I do want to revert back, but only for a stable build (not like Oxygen 10.0.0 that was terrible for battery and performance)
I'm also looking to perform a clean flash for my phone, any help will be appreciated
Thanks for answering
