Hi there!
I'm a happy Havoc OS user, 'cause the stabilty and performance of this ROM is simply incredible. It just has one problem: Android Auto it's not working in none of its builds since Android 10 were launched. I'm looking for an Android 10 based ROM that has this feature working correctly, 'cause I use it practically every day.
Also, something important for me is the status of SafetyNet. In Havoc its fully fixed and working so, if Android Auto's problem its not fixed soon, I'll like to switch to another ROM with SafetyNet in a true state too.
Which ROM do you recommend me with this two features working correctly? I'm in love with Havoc, but Android Auto is a must in my rutine
Thanks for your help!

im planning to root the the phone....dont wanna go to 7....wanna see the rom and rooting first with android 6
what is the best option for this phone on 6 ?
To be honest, there is no "good" Marshmallow ROM for this phone.
The stock ROM is a nightmare, regardless of whether you use the Marshmallow or Nougat one.
The "best" ROM in my eyes is the newly released Oreo AEX alpha build posted by Firelord, the only downside it has is that fixing the LED lights on it is a bit of an hassle and that NFC isn't working (yet).
If NFC is important to you, you should go with Firelord's Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 build, that one has working NFC and the LEDs can be fixed the same way as the Oreo build.
The main reason I suggest you to go custom ROM here is because the stock ROM itself has a series of critical bugs that I consider even more severe than the two I just mentioned.
If you are into mobile gaming with a gamepad for example, forget about doing it on the stock ROM, as Lenovo has done something to the framework that makes every kind of HID interface freeze randomly.

thanks for your info....i dont care about NFC or even LED also.....all i want it is a great rom with no battery drain or bugs..working normally and good cpu+ram management... >>> to start fixing the audio problem
Any Suggestion ?
You dont want Marshmallow because of nonce krack buig. Amazes me how open source can break in newer versions.
My paranoia says Gov agencies wanted this bug in the newer Android software.
UPDATE: There is a telegram group with latest nightly builds of genom kernel, they are mostly stable, there may be a couple of ussues with some of them (like phantom touches or random battery inefficiency), however you can find kernels that support our touch panel in android pie, and oreo roms, and they run butter smooth compared to stock rom, (thank you rama982 and all contrubutors to Genom kernel). Just download a kernel build you like, and then flash it after the installation of rom. genom_ci
It has been an issue for a long time, since Xiaomi refuses to release kernel sources for this module (or so i been told), anyways, many people encouter the issue with touch screen that doesn't work after flashing custom rom (screen flickering, response lag e.t.c). This issue was brought up in this thread, however there is no answer to a question that excites most of "novatek" owners that are here - "what can i actually install of all roms". I decided to make a list of roms that happened to avoid this issue, i hope this will help users like me, so they don't have to spend literally weeks stalking, testing, looking around at all sorts of places only to find another rom that doesn't work.
1. This is the easiest one, all MIUI roms that are available for our device are working flawlessly, official global roms, custom ones, they all work (i personally prefer Revolution OS MIUI 8.10, since it has an option for the chinese bloatware and spyware to be removed, and i find it the fastest one).
2. Almost all nougat roms ( the ones that are based on android 7.1, (and maybe 7) ). Or at least 95% of them, i had issues with some of them, but it's okay that some roms are less stable than the others, you will have to find what works best for you.
3. As far as i remember, all roms based on android 8, 8.1 DO NOT work with our touch screen, except the ones that were mentioned here.
4. Who wan'ts a piece of a pie? I think everyone, but not all of us can get it, since there is only a couple of pie roms that work with our panels:
Aosp extended 6.0 (only 28/10/2018 release so far, developers told that they will fix it but they didn't so far, this release is pretty stable and snappy though).
Dirty Unicorns 13.0
(I really like the esthetics of this rom, and a philosophy that stands behind it, but release is missing some important features for me personally.)
lineage-16.0-20181115 (As stable as aosp extended, or even more. Perfect rom for a new user that doesn't care about a lot of features, and just wants to do basic stuff without any bugs and crushes) (IMO)
GZOSP from Here, it's even more simple compared to lineage, but a a bit less stable.
Thanks to rama982 we have Nitrogen Os, it works fine, things are strating to change. (Live a like to Rama982).
This list is potentially suitable for EBBG touch panel users, but as i have no device on hands to test it, i can't say anything about it. If you are wondering wich type of touch screen you have, you can dowload AIDA from play store, or any other "sysinfo" type of app.
That's all. I hope this will help you, it's the smallest thing i can do, as i love the community of this place even more than my morning coffee.
P.S. If i missed something, you can comment down below, or send a private message, we all make mistakes.

Try LOS16, Havoc, or Bootleggers - or try the latest Genom kernels.
I tried out AEX 10-28 for a couple of days. i went back to xiaomi eu beta for full screen navigation. i also opted for genom eas nightly for miui. i think i'll stick with this setup for a while.
Can i use genom kernel nightly on pixel experience rom to support novatek panel?

I flashed just now the latest build of pixel experience on my device with genom nightly build for pie roms and it worked... No blinking or screen and the touch is working flawlessly, still checking for small bugs

Yes tried many, including this.
It crashes as soon it is launched.
Try Open Camera... Its open source and pretty good! I use it daily.

In case anyone is interested, nitrogen os is working great on my ebbg display
i've tried pixel experience like @jharone23 said and it's working fine. i also installed genom nightly and it runs smooth. i think they worked out most of the kinks for novatek panel. i haven't tried the 12-31 build of the rom yet. gcam v5 works great. i also installed gcam v6 for better back cam low light and i'm satisfied so far. no problems with gps and lte. no network drops on wifi and data. i have mine rooted and installed kernel aduitor, also installed blex and youtube vanced from magisk repo. google backup works like a charm. played ro mobile for 4 hours straight on wifi. everything is great. note for benchmarkers, you would get lesser score in antutu compared to xiaomi eu rom with genom. i used to get 84k score with that setup but with p.e. and genom i only get 80k with performance setting in kernel aduitor. overall a 4/5 stars for user experience just because i was accustomed to full screen navigation in mi eu rom. A 5/5 stars in stability kudos to p.e. developers and genom. i won't be flashing any other rom for quite sometime as my current setup is stable enough as daily driver. maybe t.s. could include rom in the list. thanks jharone23 for the tip.
Hi!
I'm looking for the most stable GSI for the razer phone. These forums have been pretty dead honestly, so i'm not sure where to go.
Looking for the most up to date, feature complete, not broken GSI - My Pre-requisites are:
- Must support Magisk (i use the aptx-enabling modules that SHOULD have been in stock)
- Not bothered on android version, 8 or 9 will do
- WiFi & Tethering must work, i have an unlimited (without throttling) data plan, but you need WiFi for tethering
- Bluetooth audio must work, not bothered about calls, but music streaming over BT must work
- Generally stable - Stock rom is great, just missing a few features i like
What would your recommendations be?
If you want Magisk, go for one of the 8.1 GSI's, Pixel Experience would get my vote, nice ROM :good:
Peacce
I'll help in liven things up in this forum. Thinking of flashing (is this still the right term for GSI?) Lineage first when I get around to it over Christmas. I'm coming from a Oneplus one with the last few years on cyanogen / lineage, so I'm biased.
I'm using Lineage w/o gapps. I love it. I just wish I could figure out how to get signature spoofing to work so I could still play PokemonGO

Does Lineage (or other GSIs) enable miracast? Stock seems to only allow mirroring to Chromecast devices, which I don't have.
Hi, does anyone know if there is any OREO 8.1 ROM that would support / could run OxygenOS stock camera?
The ROM should also fulfill these requirements:
non-OxygenOS based
still maintained, that is no EOL/Discontinued and so on
I have used Resurrection Remix [6.2.1][UNOFFICIAL] by @8224Freak which had this functionality. However, the ROM was lately discontinued, and I was contemplating changing the ROM anyway since there were some Bluetooth issues in last updates.
As far as I know, I cannot just download OxygenOS Camera app from APKMirror, install it to any custom ROM and expect it work.
I would prefer OREO-based ROM since I prefer stability over fancy new features, and since there is no official Pie ROM yet, I guess the Pie ROMs are not as stable as OREO.
Thanks a lot for your tips.
Just a tip, as I don't really know of any rom as per your wish,
Give a try to havoc OS which is pie based. Quit stable and smooth except few display glitches & sensitive long press .
This ROM provides link to download OP camera, which I have never used. I am happy with GCAM
OK, thanks for the tip. It seems that your suggestion is in accord what I have found until now. I could not find any other ROM except for the Havoc OS you have mentioned. I am also satisfied with GCAM except for 60fps videos - the videos often do not have 60fps (sometimes they drop just to 21-22fps). It seems that best and the most stable results I always had with original OxygenOS camera - the videos made by this camera were always very smooth - no stuttering or dropping frames whatsover.
Hello
I just recently bought a Redmi 8T that has MIUI Global 11.0.9 installed.
I am not so keen on MIUI, it looks great but I just feel more comfortable using an aosp based rom.
I see there are quite a few custom roms for these devices. Can anyone recommend an aosp based rom that is stable enough as a daily drive? I don't mind so much about having the latest Android version, I'd prefer stability than the latest.
A few added features to the rom would be even better,
Thanks,
I tried pixel experience, paranoid android, and as usual, lineage. I found paranoid to be the best so far, with pixel experience being second and lineage the "worst".
Why so?
PE I tried to return to, yet something worked wrong and after I flashed the ROM, device said there's no OS. That's why it's second, otherwise I liked it.
With lineage, whatever is said to work does work, but there's one huge problem for me: when I plug in my earphones, apps like WhatsApp or Telegram go mad. Also with lineage I am stuck with using only raw_sensor, and I don't like it. Yet if/when they'll fix this earphone problem, I'm considering returning to it simply because they way I'm used to using my phone is more possible by it.
There are some things I don't like with paranoid, which you can read from the thread if you like, but for now I'm there and can recommend with its limitations.
