Best ROM?

I just got a used Note 4 from Note 2 (running CM12). I really do not like Samsung's stock ROMs. What is a good stable ROM? Is Lineage any good? EmotionOS? Debloat version of stock? suggestions?

I've been on Emotroid 6.0.1 for the past year with very few hiccups but I started looking for a new rom tonight as well.
EmotionOS is pretty much dead. Forums reveal the OP is retired from the N4 but work pseudo continues on through the Verizon wireless build.. Sounds sketchy to me as the sprint variant is no longer supported.
Lineage appears to be the rom Emotroid is built on, that said expect fewer customization's. It's brand new, but the activity on the forum looks promising so it's won my vote and I've got it flashing now.

Lineage is developed by the same guy/team who did CM.

8.4 wifi / TM320 - most stable custom firmware?

So the hardware on my 8.4 is still amazing, but Kitkat is getting really really old. I see many custom firmwares available, and most of them say the camera doesn't work.
So first of all, which custom ROMs better than Kitkat are stable enough to be daily drivers? And second, do any of them have the cameras working?
Thanks!

I think you'll find it's just the versions based on Nougat that the camera doesn't work on.

Hmm I see. Maybe I was looking at Marshmallow threads in which people were also talking about Nougat builds.
Any recommendations?

No reply I see...
Did you try some different firmwares? I am also looking for a good working firmware. Can you perhaps share which one works good for every day use?
Thx in advance!

Just give any you like the look of a go. I like Lineage and 14.1 is available for the SM-T320 thanks to the dedication of members here. I can't imagine being on KitKat in 2018. Even LOS 14.1 (Nougat) is a bit of a throwback these days although it remains a popular version.

Hello.
I also bought a used t320 because the Hardware is better than modern lowcost tablets and 1 h after delivery it was already rooted and twrp ed. ?
I choose vanilla unicorns which is based in Marshmallow 6.0.1 . I am quite happy with it so far.? Cameras working , pretty mich all is running fine. I found no bugs so far.

Android One Port from Mi A1 for Mi 5s

Hi guy's,
I love Stock Android and the current design (API and UI) of pixel smartphones - since Google has really done a lot of work with a lot of style in it.
My Generations: I came from HTC HD2 (Android, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu Touch ect.)... next smartphone was the Galaxy S3 LTE (I flash the official Google Play Edition with a must for change the IMEI ect.), next was the HTC One M8 also converted to a GPE and my before last smarthphone was the Mi 4 LTE (with Windows Phone 10). Always the good alternative to the smartphone interested me. Now it interests me whether someone of you the bother and work dare to build this ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-825694-1-1.html). The Nexus Experience: http://www.nxrom.us/mi5s.html
This seems to me to be somewhat too imprecise and has not the perfection that Project brings with it. Simply it is not a pureness Pixel/Nexus-feeling (the live wallpaper did not run, the Download Manager is missing, the setting menu is not 100% original etc. It lot is missing here and there) ...
I would like to help, because for me the build up of ROM's when it comes to the interface/UI and a bit around compiling the API, is an easiness for me (-
I would look forward to like-minded and teamwork. The whole thing should simply be a pleasure for the general public and be financed without money, even to learn about it :highfive:

I have a 5s with unlocked bootloader, installed Ressurection Remix 7.1.2 together with Nova Launcher (to enabled gestures) and Pixel camera port.
If you take away the amoled display og the Pixel, the Xiaomi 5s basically is a Pixel spec'ed phone for 1/3 of the price. If you want even more stock android feeling then go for LinageOS?

I really do not understand who would even buy Mi A1 which is in same price range as Mi 5s... Mi 5s have better hardware on first place, than even if you need stock rom, there is always LOS which is official for Mi 5s. I rest my case...

Guy's I mean the Pure Pixel Experience, everyone here who have a Stock Pixel with Oreo or Nougat in his hands? My friend have a Pixel, he work hard to get this phone but I do not agree to spend much money, only to own a Stock Clean Rom although it is cheaper. You can't compare the Nexus Experience Rom (I link in my last post above) and also LOS or any other ROM not with the original Pixel Rom. It must nevertheless be possible to build a Clone for the Mi 5s like the Mi 5 (see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-t3578407).
I will ask the developer there, if he with help of me and other users from XDA to build a clean ROM. Still thank you for giving me suggestions, I really appreciate your time!
Have a nice day -cheers

I'm using opengapps to bring pixel launcher, assistant, and whatever google facility on it, but remember that none can clone pixel exactly the same. In case you won't get unlimited original sized photo backup, only real google pixel has it.
If you want pixel like experience you can flash LOS or whatever pure aosp then flash open gapps. You can adjust which to install or remove stock los apps using gapps config, go to opengapps wiki for it.

I mean the System UI and Settings don't look or have the same features egg., example the most AOSP Rom's for Mi 5s don't have Ambient Display Settings or Reading/Night Mode. Also the Google Live Wallpaper are not working and not included in the current GApps. The Rom's missing apps, for example the wallpaperpicker.apk ect.
Okay I must build my own Pixel Experience to get nearly a perfect Copy/Clone of an Pixel /XL. But yes, I will try my best to get a better Experience Rom and share my TWRP Backup here on XDA. Included Magisk and some Kernel Tweaks. The last Time I get a big battery drain with the current Nexus Experience Rom cauz I have enabled the Fingerprint Scan-Fix for Xiaomi Mi 5s (search on XDA for it). I find out that the 4 Cores working eveytime but with the current Miui 9 Rom on Idle, two of the four Cores from SD821 sleeping and the other 2 runs with 300-500 Mhz. That's a nice Kernel Management in Idle State and I tweak it

ROM question for long time One Plus owners?

I'm really tempted to buy the 5t since returning my pixel 2 xl due to screen issues. Coming from a Nexus 6, I really enjoy the availability of some of the most current Android versions through community built ROMs even when the version of Android was never made available for the phone (i.e. Oreo 8.1 on Nexus 6). Can some of the long time One Plus users comment on the availability of the newest Android versions for One Plus phones even if it requires installing community built ROMs? How soon after the release of the Android version do you generally see ROMs based on those versions available for One Plus phones?

Check Ground Zero ROMs, I'm running Validus based on Oreo 8.0 on my OP5 and it's really awesome with pure Android feeling. I read @martinusbe the head Dev will be getting the OP5T.

The community support is great. There are Oreo builds for even OnePlus One (Released in 2014).

Please can someone port MIUI on One plus 5t?

Is there someone who can port MIUI on this device?

Really that heavy skin instead of oxygen os . .
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

I personally hate the MIUI skin and the bloatware it adds with the ROM....
you might like it but OxygenOS is much more elegant

Ah the moment i'm on Liquid Remix 9 based on Oreo 8.1... It's a great rom but I don't like so much aosp based rom.... I prefer Miui or Samsung experience....

Up for this. Please make a MIUI rom.

+1, can sb port miui??

He bought a phone that is cheaper and developer friendly. The entire point of android is customization. He likes MIUI, you don't. Doesn't mean you are right or he is.

I wouldn't mind a MIUI port for it. Almost always running KLWP but just something with MIUI under the hood that feels more practical. OxygenOS, TouchWiz etc always leave me missing something. Then again, I been a MI phone user since MI2 so I might be biased

First of all my first phone is a Samsung S8 but I like customization and I can't customize a lot my S8 because I don't want to trip knox and loose warranty...
So I bought as second phone the 5t which is a great phone, quite cheaper and with a great community...
I use this phone for playing with customization...
Even if before this phone I had a Mi5 (which was a great phone) I didn't buy a new Xiaomi because I would have one phone with Amoled display...
That said, I simply would like to install other vendor ROM (like Miui, Samsung Experience or Emui) for playing with them..
I switched from iOS (ALWAYS JAILBROKEN) iPhone to Android Phone because of my intention to play and try theese Rom, but I would like to do this without having to buy from time to time different Android Phone...
And I thought that One plus 5t would have been a great phone even for trying vendor Rom...
For exemple: MIUI and Emui exist for One plus 3 or 3t... And Miui even for one plus 5...
So I simply would like that some of this Rom (or other vendor port) will arrive even for my 5t
