In comparison to Xiaomi's MIUI how is the Oxygen Os?
Does it have...
Call recording option in dialler without any third party software.
Something like a security app to clean cache, scan for virus's and grant permission for apps.
Inbuilt backup and restore option which backup all user data plus apps user made data to cloud.
Power options to change power saving profile according to time and restart the sevice automatically at given time like 6am.
And if you have used both MIUI and OOS... who do you think is better?

Get a Mi phone for all those features plus a mi phone will have better support for miui roms. Oxygen os is close to stock with some little functional tweaks. it doesn't have anything fancy like miui. But if you would ask me which rom is better i would say oos. it's simple clean less gimmicky. Hope this helps you.
Hi,
If you want to try MIUI, I suggests, buy Mi5... A MIUI port won't stable than an original one.
From my perspective: MIUI is really beautiful... If you see the screenshots.... You should try it. I think, everyone tried at least once... But for daily driver? No way. If you ever used AOSP based roms (oos, cm, etc), you won't use MIUI. I'm 80% sure, that you'll replace the original launcher. Than you'll sick some annoying incompatibles... Just look at MIUI forums. Problems with pop-up windows (for example Facebook messanger), problems with Android Pay, etc, etc.
I was ordered Mi5 (4/128G), but it went to out of stock, so I got refund... That was my luck. Now, I'm a happy OP3 user, and I don't need MIUI... That's my opinion.
As someone who previously always used stock or near stock ROMS, I currently own a Xiaomi Mi5. I ran with Miui for about a few weeks, but it really frustrated the hell out of me. Yes it looks nice, but I was always finding background apps just randomly stopped working or you had to allow extra security settings. I tried Google Now Loader on it, but that randonmly stopped working. In the end, I've flashed CM on it. So much better.
Going from a stock or near stock rom to MIUI is like going from Android to Apple. I will be returning my Mi5 to stock and selling on, as I now have a OP3 on the way.
Another reason - community support for OP3 is already strong. The Mi5 support thread is a joke.

why dont you try the hos
for me OOS is better than miui. as i prefer stock android ui than heavily skinned miui.
MIUI 8 is cool- looking, feature-rich, but i just dont like the ios lookalike UX.
I have bad experiences with Oxygen in OP1 and 2, always uses CM or H20 ,
but if you are wondering about phones which running those 2 OS - Xiaomi mi5 and OP3, i think i should go for OP3, MI5 looks cheap with white color,and huge bezels
All the features you mentioned are available in the Chinese rom for OnePlus phones. Call recording is there, extra app permissions lockdown, etc. You'll have to install GApps manually if you need it.
The OP3 isn't on that page yet but should be soon.
Hope to See a miui rom for the op3 soon. Now using the mi launcher on it.

I think both are not compareable. They try to reach different goals (MIUI feature rich and pretty colorful while OOS wants to add some features but stay close to stock). It depends mainly on the user.
I will be happy with tweaked OOS once my device will be delivered while you can count on custom ported MIUI roms. There's not that better one imho

It mean "call recording" is not available in Oxygen?
I expect your answer to flash Oxygen. My OP3 is running H20 and if it isn't "call recording", i will not flash.
all oxygen is is stock android with a few apps from oneplus. plus it supports layers themeing. so yes IMO its almost as good as getting a nexus and much better than miui.
OOS on a Mi5?
I'm not sold on the aesthetic and a couple aspects of the OP3, I quite prefer the Mi5. I'm strongly considering attempting to load OxygenOS onto the 4/128gb Mi5 as my next phone and it sounds like people in this thread might have direct experience with this setup.
Any thoughts/tips? I unfortunately can't wait for the new Nexus phone(s) but I'm also considering a couple phones from ZTE & Huawei...
Thanks
Porting OxygenOS would be hard and pointless at this point, because Mi5 doesn't even have kernel sources and a working AOSP ROM. If you really want iOS lookalikes, I would recommend OPPO phones. They didn't release flagship for a couple years, but at least they know how to develop software well. R7 Plus has even Cyanogenmod 13, I believe.

Thanks but I specifically don't like iOS and wanting a phone that doesn't look like an iPhone is part of the draw towards the Mi5. That R7 Plus is an interesting phone, but for me the screen is too big and the CPU & GPU are quite subpar.
No one who makes a smartphone for the US has made one with the specs I'm looking for. OP3 falls short, the Nexus 6P is too far behind now, I find the Galaxy S7 to be hideous, the G5 was a disappointment. The HTC 10 is the closest bet but it's battery life sucks probably due to its pointlessly 4K screen.
The Huawei P9, Honor V8, ZTE Nubia Z11, and the Mi5 Pro are my top contenders at the moment, but there's no way I'm using their own OSs.
IMO Samsung is a big disappointment, because of their weird things like Knox.
boy i hate miui.. its known to bring gingerbread memory leak issues to marshmellow ! hahaha on the mi5 it restarts apps unnecessarily lol
Gingerbread didn't have memory leaks... or I've not experienced them while I was using it. In comparison, lollipop and above always had them on my Z2. That's why I started porting SailfishOS

I'm using the Mi launcher too. The look and feel of Miui and the best of OOS or Exodus Rom
OOS is great out of the box - stock Android with goodies (and useful goodies at that). Really stable and fast.
And since it's very near to stock Android, many Xposed modules work, so you can customize it much very easily.
It is beyond me why someone could prefer MIUI over that.
Hello,
As we all know there are tons of custom roms, i was wondering this since a while
Say i get the honor 8 pro and i install lineage os on it and install pixel launcher or wahtever i want to bring it as close to stock as i want+ more speed i guess? cause its fully stock? i don't mind losing out on features of emui, but my questions are.
1] do custom roms make an impact on the camera performance?[earlier i had a nexus 5, so honestly couldn't make out the difference]
2 Will i lose my battery perforamnce somehow? i mean what if its made to be optimized with the official firmware? or does it not matter?
Someone please shed some light
1. Custom ROMs impact camera performance mainly because you lose out on the camera interface (which in 8 pro is far sophisticated than a third party app can offer). And we do not have a custom ROM for this device that uses stock modules to port itself. With single lens, difference wouldn't be much as there isn't much post shutter processing going on. Its just the sensor doing the job. With dual cameras, its slightly different.
2. Battery life depends on which custom ROM you choose. Lineage, RR generally have very neat battery stats and issues get resolved much faster(if at all there are any).
Most of them are waiting to change over to a custom ROM once the Camera app is ported, as all other functionality can be replicated using third party apps or you might find better customization when running a custom ROM by default.
1- camera will be heavily impacted (especially the dual lens function)
2- it just depends on the custom ROM and how well optimized for the hardware.
Cool thanks!
Mod please close this post
Last words
Yes custom ROM do ,but once surdu petru said in his thread that he willl port the stock emui camera to customrom.wait for him.
Have anyone tried flashing the Treble roms on to the P20 lite? If yes, please share with us which ROM and how good/bad it is.
Seems like Treble ROMs are the way forward since we do not see custom development happening anytime soon.
In case you are unfamiliar with Treble, please read Treble FAQ
Treble ROMs can be downloaded from the forum
I'm in the openkirin group in telegram, being so far I think the only lineageOs tester with Android 8.1 in the p20 lite and so far the only serious problem is the camera
If we talk about other aspects, the navigation bar is still a bit smaller than the notch, the contacts of the Sim card are nonexistent, you can not change the internal storage to the SD card and finally the facial recognition is not enabled
Edit: full screen display mode is available, but you have to activate it manually from the settings (applications that do not appear in full screen do not give the option to adapt them as it does in stock)
I tried Lineage and RR (v22) from phhusson as well as the official RR which i use as a daily driver. They work mostly fine except for some minor issues... Music usually plays through the speakers even when headphones are plugged in and it sometimes randomly stops. When charging while turned off, the device boots into eRecovery. The notch is not really supported but RR allows you to move the clock to the left. This way, icons are less likely to be hidden behind the notch. Additionally there are some rom-specific bugs like some settings not doing anything in RR. Battery life is pretty good (I dont use gapps).
The issues will probably get fixed eventually when someone provides logs.
Is the official better than the phhusson one ?
I tried it and was not can of it I think P will be better for the Huawei P20 because of the notch support and navbar replacement by touch gestures.
I tried RR, AOSP, Pixel Experience and Los.
Too much broken features to use it as a daily driver.
For the moment I run the stock rom debloated with adb.

I didnt notice any difference between the phhusson RR build and the official one so far. RR has several options to replace the navbar too btw. I personally use fling which is highly customizable. There is also the option to use edge gestures or a pie menu. System wide gestures are available too but can only be used to launch apps.

Basically all the problems I mentioned before. But those are the same with all treble roms I tried. Generally RR seems less polished than Lineage and some features are broken, e.g. dark theme in settings. Nothing critical though... However, I only tested the stuff I commonly use (calling, wifi, bluetooth etc. works fine for me).
Someone on phhussons Github reported that his P20 lite overheats when fast charging but for me it works flawlessly.
I don't see the P20 lite as being "treble" supported at this time. What am I missing? I would love to get vinalla android on this and give the device some performance improvements.

Oh the P20lite very much supports Treble. You can check on your own device using a terminal app, type:
Code:
getprop ro.treble.enabled
If the result is true, Treble is supported.
or if you're rooted, simply open the build.prop file (at your own risk!) and check.
Alternately, here is a page with a list of Treble supported devices:
Treble devices list
I do not understand much about treble, but I want my device to always have the latest android available, does your comment means that I can have that in my P20 lite?
Here is a very detailed description of Treble.
Link
Treble is aimed to provide updates to all the devices that support treble at the same time. Since P20 is already shipped with the latest android version, it is irrelevant at this time. But in case you want to flash third party ROMs such as Lineage, there are Treble version of these ROMs that are common for all the Treble devices.
The problem I ran into was the notch.
Obviously these ROMs don't support it really. So notifications go all the way along the top.
Did I miss something?

Yes they don't really support the notch. This is because these ROMs are for all the Brands/models that support Treble and most of them don't have a notch.

Look here. There's multiple methods there
Switched from nexus 6p, loving oxygen os but dont know what custom roms to go with. Ideas? certainly need good battery life, performance isnt important as long as the ui doesnt lag.
Old Post
(I upgraded from my Nexus 6P not too long ago mainly because of it loosing support, i ran Pure Nexus which was damn fast, had all the features and customization i personally could need along with working substratum, and great battery life considering how old the device was at the time. Now i do like Oxygen OS but its not as close to stock as im used to. Is there any quality, no-compromises rom that has tons of customization, the same great battery life as stock, and the performance i need to play games when not using my phone for school. I've looked at Lineage, AOSP Pie, and neither of them really worked well enough for me, both had battery life issues, (used their kernels and Elemental X), and they didnt provide the out of the box customization that ive come to love and expect. Any ideas?)
Candy ROM, Havoc OS, TreskMod, AEX
Those are my top ROMS for now. BUT, I'm on stable OOS 5.1.4 with francokernel right now. Mainly because of OOS Camera. But u can always OOS Camera M for custom ROMS. Hope this helps
EDIT: Reasons I can't leave Oxygen OS
1. Fully Working Camera (not to mention, you can edit slo-mo videos in native gallery app)
2. Oneplus Gesture Navigation (Some ROMS have this but not as smooth as OOS, also transition animations are better IMO)
3. Long/Scrolling Screenshot
4. Better Face Unlock
---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------
For customization, I just use JOneplus Tools & Tiles app for added functionalities (disabling heads-up, extra tiles, more accent color options). Well, those are only the things that I care of when it comes to customization.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/development/rom-havoc-os-t3813180
Havoc OS has gcam screen gestures all the features you can think of A+ for sure
I would say you to stick with Oxygen OS. Like you myself coming from nexus 6p,nexus 5.. always ran custom ROM (Mostly PureNexus). Like PureNexus, OxygenOS has most essential customisation options and also stable. While most of other custom roms have too much features or very less.
Other than that you can use Magisk modules,custom kernels, substratum to customize. Also I suggest you to use OxygenOS Open beta rather than stable line.
I come from Nexus 5X and I have been experimenting with the ROMs myself. I've known Dirty Unicorns that was pretty good on my N5X but on the 5T it has a terrible battery life, even with other kernels. Also it's a pain in the ass dealing with the camera. The Gcam mods are okay but some feature don't work, so it's not so reliable.
I just bought a second hand Poco F3 6Gb+128 and I would like as soon as I get it to install a Custom ROM because I'm tired of miui, what is your recommendation? I am looking for stability, possibly be years with the same rom installed, and above all a great battery life, I have read some names like Arrow Os, CrDroid or Pixel Experience, and if it were not too much to ask I would like to leave some post to the best gcam for this phone.
Thank you very much for answering <3
If you did a little searching, you would find this:
Best custom rom
Hey, I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now...
forum.xda-developers.com
Crdroid is best for me at the moment. Easy installation and lots customisation.
I'm happy with Arrow OS 13.0, though I'd heard that Paranoid Android (AOSPA) Topaz is even better. I might switch to that soon, myself!
I'm big into battery life. Arrow does great, though AOSPA is supposedly exceptional. CrDroid, as Gurkut mentioned, is great for customization and features, though not so much for battery.

I am a Evo-X patron, Evo-X for me is Amazing and the most polished, but i also like to tinker with other roms as well.
My Favourite roms i keep saved on my USB Stick in conjunction with a OTG adaptor are (in order) No.1 Evo-X, No.2 Voidui, No.3 Nusantara-v5.6,
No.4 crDroid (CRD is also very polished), N0.5 ProjectElixir 3.7
It is great to see new Devs resurrecting out dated roms for our great device.

I've been switching between crdroid and pixel os over the last 6 months and those are among the most polished and complete ROM for our Device. Also crdroid dev has been among the first to provide a custom ROM for Poco F3 2 years ago and keep supporting it which is exceptional. Alas both of them have some tiny bugs (bt or Netflix stuttering) on last releases. Thanks to you johnr64 I've tried nusantara (lots of customisation) on which I had some random freezes/reboots so I gave it up. Now I am experiencing voidui which is quite in the same spirit than pixelos: really close to stock with a few tweaks. It doesn't have Leica cam which isn't a big deal for me since gcam have improved a lot.
Voidui is REALLY smooth out of the box compared to a lot of other roms, it is a pity there ain't any thread on XDA for it (I am not a telegram person). I've installed it via skkk twrp , factory reset , rebooting twrp and flashing DfE then rebooting to system with no issues. Restoring from previous Google backup worked.
Hi Nicky69100,
I never did telegram until i got nagged at by my Family, then after speaking to my girls regarding TG and Custom Rom threads i took the plunge, Signing up to the Evo-X thread first and then crDROID & Voidui.
I am old and first started playing with custom roms (Mods) on a Nokia and then move on to a HTC Wildfire, Samsung's, i gave with sammys after they introduced the 0X1 e-fuse and the awful KNOX, i then moved on to LG.
My FIRST EVER new phone was the F3 (What an amazing device for the price) i looked long and hard before i spent my £££, taking in to consideration the ease of unlocking the bootloader and the DEV support, I am so pleased that i made the right decision for me.
For me the bench mark Custom rom is Evo-X,
Aggelos is a great DEV and is contactable most of the time on the "Early release group" and the Evo-X TG Threads,
of course, Life, University and a GF can some times get in the way.
The customisations i look for are, Smart Charging, Battery Bar, edge lighting, coloured icons in the task bar and the ability to run "Xiaomi Super Live Wallpapers"
below are a few rom i have tried recently,
BananaDroid is looking more polished as it is now a official rom, for me it lacks "Smart Charging" at the moment.
Cherishos (Official) Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar, its great to see that SMART CHARGING is WORKING , Hung Pang is the lead Dev for Cherishos and the F3.
Derpfest by Carrotgarden, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Pixel Extended, is to close to stock for me and lacks customisation.
SuperiorOS, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Stalix is a nice rom from a new DEV, it can now be installed thru Standard Recovery, it is still lacking in customisation, but it`s still early days.
Rising o/s nice looking rom, Smart Charge is not working, it Zapped 63% of my Battery in half a day, this was the First Rom for me (EVER) to do this.
Skyline is still in Beta and lacks customisation.
Voltage o/s (Unofficial), lacks customisation.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL THE DEVS FOR ALL THERE HARD WORK AND FOR MAKING OUR F3 AMAZING

Hi, it's a bit offtopic but can you tell me what version of twrp do you use to flash roms, because The ones I used showed that internal storage "data" is encrypted,and it didn't decrypt even after entering my lock screen pin.

Like it was already referred here, it depends on what you're looking for on a rom.
If you like a pixel feel (usually more stable and battery friendly roms) go for arrow, void, paranoid Android (these 3 have the best feedback), pixel os, etc.
If you care about customization and messing around with features, I suggest you to go to CR, ghostdroid (I'm using this one right now. Very cool and promising rom), rising, ancient, derpfest, Evo, nusantara, etc. The list is huge, because we have the luck of our device be one of the ones with more development, probably of ever.
Have to give a huge Thank you to our great developers and maintainers out there
If you wanna get into more and stay fully updated, I too advise to go to TG. There's rom updates on a almost daily basis
