Opinions Rom/Kernals sofar.

Hi lads, Im getting my OP3 soon. Im wondering how your experience is with which rom/kernal.l so i can make my decision better. Thx!

Ask a dozen users and you'll get a dozen different answers, IMHO try stock for a week or so then see how you feel.

To me H2OS at the moment.

this is highly subjective question. it all depends on your personal preference.
1) best campera performance : stock
2) some extra features with decent camera: cm13 and other unofficial builds like of sultan.
3) lot of extra features: rr or dirty unicorn
4) nexus like stock: paranoid android, i personally love the floating mode on that rom.

I like features, but battery is the most important. Ill stay stock and see how it runs. Which kernal do your guys suggest for stock? Boefla or Elementalx?

Best rom doesn't exist, you better edit your thread and write, "opinions about roms" if you're lazy enough to read the ROM's threads to collect them

Im not lazy.. Features are almost all the same. In just gathering user experiences so i know how much a rom is developed and how it runs. Since that isnt stated in those OP's. But i agree my thread title isnt correct, thank your for mentioning that.

True that. However, this thing is a beauty. Hope it lasts a while.

Camera sources are closed as they are for almost all devices
All development around camera it is focused on porting it to cm13 - 14
Most camera mods for other devices are mostly placebo, I haven't seen any important improvements regarding the quality on a device so far, what stock brings it's legit

*Kernel, not kernal (sounds like drunkass)

try stock OxygenOS for at least a week, then try Snapshot Build of CyanogenMod 13 with ElementalX Kernel and OxygenOS Camera Port and see if it works well for you ...

Looking for a clean custom 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

Best stable ROM

I don't have time to test every single rom so I want to ask the people on here what they think is the most stable rom. I don't really care about features I just wanna know which one has the best battery life, less bugs etc.

Yes stock was ok but I am asking for the custom ROMs

I settled on SAOSP after many weeks of testing many different ROMs. Seems best to me, combined with EX kernel

ABC-Rom, no bugs, stock feeling:

paranoidandroid ROM is awesome!

PureNexus or PixelROM

You could also look at Carbon Rom or Tesla (other GZR Roms are available ) or AospExtended or Slim
Then you have the Lineage based ones such as crDroid
I prefer the ones which are true to the Nexus look rather than Pixel Wannabes. But that's the beauty of the old Nexus phones that it very much whatever floats your boat.

@tactical bacon: that's, why 'best rom'-threads are unwanted here. Finally you get a complete list of all settled ROM.
Features and base are given in each OP. Battery-life depends on your usage.

PureNexus. Great team, solid ROM, nice features, quick updates, and very helpful thread.

What's the best ROM for MI6?

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.

What all Oxygen OS features will I miss if switch to custom ROM?

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

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.

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!

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.
