Android Oreo in 2019

Hello everyone,
Just curious to know if we have Oxygen os builds available for Oreo in 2019. Would like to rollback to Oreo but don't want to lose android security patches.
Android pie is working fine. But really miss the brightness levels and camera was better in nougat and Oreo compared to pie. Battery was the top in nougat easily got 6-7 hours screen on time with enough battery left for the day and with Oreo it was the best 8-8.5 hours.
Not complaining about pie. Can get through the whole day with moderate use and 20-30% left in evening. Just sharing my experience so far with 5t.
I would like to try nougat or Oreo if there are any versions available with latest android security patches.
Apologies if this has been already asked somewhere and answered. I went across XDA and OnePlus forums, Plz let me know if anyone is running Oxygen os with nougat/Oreo at the moment. Thanks!!

I dont see any decrease in battery life in pie. More likely your battery degenerated over time or some apps or background services drain it.
Go hunting for it with logcat or betterbatterystats
Try custom ROMs

Yes...custom roms are totally worth it, Since I have multiple work apps installed at the moment. a bit concerned on how they will work under root. Just sharing my usage logs with a comparison between Oreo and pie
The first set of screenshots are from moderate day usage in Oreo back in 2018 which has mixed usage of social apps and gaming
The second usage is from current stable 9.0.6
Not sure if everyone is getting similar battery life between Oreo and pie in moderate usage throughout the day.
I feel the 10-15% difference with battery left at end of day cause a big change still I get to manage throughout the day in pie.
Compared to Oreo from these random usage screenshots, pie is getting worse day by day. Maybe it's the battery that gets degraded over time or its the overall phone hardware that runs round the clock for us
I have this feel almost with every device, Samsung galaxy 5, Xperia neo v and also back in opo. Android kitkat had best battery and lollipop had a moderate and with marshmallow it got worse.
Just sharing my opinion and also curious to know if y'all out there feel the same.
Edit : Would like to add all these usage were taken in locked bl running unrooted
No need for root , just flash a custom rom and then enjoy ,for me comparing to Oreo pie has good SOT , AND im a heavy Gamer so cant help with battery stats :silly::laugh:
Still many custom ROMs works good in SOT with a custom kernel too.

Hmm yeah.. planning to give it a try. Been sticking with stock unroot most of times since I got 5t. Had it unlocked and under root for few weeks back in January due to shutter sound bug. Since it got fixed moved to stable.
I could see many custom roms are available to try.
Any tips on choosing custom rom, I mainly look for Oxygen os camera and good battery. How's OOS open beta holding up compared to stable pie in terms of battery.

What's the best ROM available right now? (as of 29th Feb 2020)

So, there's plenty of ROM options available to us currently. I've been hesitating massively on trying any of them due to being a bit burned by previous experiences with some not so great ROMs on other phones I've had previously. So tell me, in your opinion, what's the best ROM available right now? I'm looking for things that have the good battery life, a mostly lag-free experience, the less bugs the better, etc. The best overall ROM in general, basically. If you're using a custom kernal too instead of stock or the one that comes with the ROM, please mention it in a reply along with what you voted for.
Thanks!
I currently use POSP v3.1+8. This ROM is great if you want a proper taste of Android Q. I am using the stock kernel that comes with the ROM and opengapps pico package. I've never had any problems so far, but that's mainly because I don't use social media apps like Instagram. The software has its bugs and the battery life isn't great yet, but the Dev is working diligently to squish the bugs and that's what makes it for me. Best battery life and stability you can have is on Stock right now, especially if you debloat the ROM using shell, battery life is superb. I just can't stand Pie's ugly interface. MIUI ROM is sooo amazing, except for some little performance issues, especially on recents screen. MIUI ROM effectively transforms your Mi A2 Lite into a Redmi 6 Pro. But I've had a lot of privacy concerns over it. ROM's not open-source and Google + Xiaomi apps come preinstalled. If you respect your privacy MIUI is not the ROM for you. Pixel Experience on the other hand was a total mess. A lot of bugs + bad battery life. I haven't tried the other ROMs mentioned, but Stock Oreo is the way, if you want amazing stability, proper Gcam + incredible battery life. I literally could not drain the battery on Oreo. If you like the UI of them, stock ROMs are the way to go for stability. I'm using POSP because I just want the new features that Xiaomi should've provided us a loooong time ago.

I only included ones that I knew were still being updated by the developer; as far as I'm aware, the dev of the Lineage 16 ROM hasn't updated it in quite a while now. Additionally, I can't include everything

Lineage OS seems death on Mi A2 Lite, yea I'm found builds but not updated too long.. idk why, Lineage OS it's one from best
I'm currently using this rom, in my opinion the best rom, even if without updates maybe I'll switch back to POSP later, but the battery consumption (idle) has to get even better.

Heyo Lacia here!
Do you have telegram by any chance since i released some stuff on there for POSP and if you want to use POSP i heavily recommend flashing the chunchunmaru!_r3.1 kernel too. Too improve SOT and Idle drain and fix some smaller bugs like DT2W and Data usage not working

Did you try using Chunchunmaru!_r3.1 ?
No, I will stay with LineageOS for now and wait a few more weeks until POSP is really mature
No Pixel Experience 100% stable for A2 Lite?
I came from a Note 5 with Pixel Experience and Gcam 100% working, but my display broke so I buy a A2 Lite, but the scene looks slightly poor for me
Wich is the best 100% stable rom and Gcam (if exists)?

Theres no 100% stable rom. I mean atm all of them have some minor bugs and gcam often freeze and reboot the phone. At least this was my experience with roms and gcam... Every time I try roms I just get fed up with (mostly gcam being slow and buggy) so I'm going back to stock after a couple of weeks.
Anyways try posp with the recommended kernel. Also you can find gcam at the themes forum here on xda.

Thanks. I'm reading a lot of bad reports about the Android 10 stock rom, is this true? ?Maybe is better I continue in 9?
And at last, we didn't really have a stable GCAM? This is like a punch in the face for me
Thanks a lot.
Lineage OS 16. This phone would be awesome if it had proper Lineage support.

Don't expect a stable build of 10 from Xiaomi soon. We had a Gcam configured for A2 Lite by hass31 but it doesn't work properly on stock Pie and it will NOT work on 10. Other than that I'm currently using the gcam in the apps and themes forum with the provided xml. It works wonders but video doesn't work. I've noticed that video recording on stock vs gcam doesn't make much of a difference.
Try HybridOS but high battery drain is still issue

Yea I'm gonna give that a try since pixel experience Vids are freezing all the time
Currently using ParanoidAndroid. Works fine on my end. Hope they can give us another update
Only MIUI 11 is stable currently without bugs
Ion os is perfect rn i didn't have any bugs yet
Battery back is good with inception kernel
Paranoid q3 is amazing and clean
Best for me
I'd go against the current and advice crDroid. I used Pixel Experience, Paranoid Android, and LineageOS so far. crDroid seems to be the best with customization and little features (like compass QS tile. I really liked it actually. A little touch, but a worthy one). With battery life, they're head to head with PA, yet I'd say cr seemed a bit ahead. Functionality-wise, they're all more or less the same. Lineage had a problem with using headphones with WhatsApp and such, don't know if it is solved or not.
I didn't try Syberia or any others that I didn't mention above, yet because of its features and because of all, I have seen the devs of crDroid more active than others, I stick to it now and for the time to come - and can recommend to you as well.
Paranoid Android. Waiting for the Offline charging tobe fixed
Masik X 15.0 for ginkgo is the best rom I have flashed so far.

Question Rom a12

Hello everyone! Advise me please good a12 rom aosp. I think between 2 roms: pixelplus ui and pixel 6 port. I need good battery life with minimum lags and bags

Question Best custom ROM?

Been trying to figure this out for a while now. I want a ROM with comparable performance, features, and battery life to that of OOS.

Best is subjective because everyone has a different taste. the best thing is if you look at the roms that are available for the 9p yourself and test them
I've tried quite a few times, and am currently on Nameless A13. A lot of features from OOS haven't been ported just yet, but A12 Nameless had quite a few things there. Don't know if you'll ever get a full OOS experience on any of the custom roms.
As far as performance and battery life, Nameless has been the best. Far better than OOS 12 or 13. Customization varies between roms with CRDroid seeming to have the most customizations. I just prefer Nameless because it seems the most close to stock it terms of interface, without all the bloat. It's all preference though. If you want stability, A12 roms are probably your answer for now until the 13 roms catch up. But if you want the latest and greatest, you could try a 13 custom rom.
In my opinion, better A12.1 is ancient os and better A13 tequila os.

Tequila is great! I just prefer Nameless because of the default OP camera and seems to have more support and updates
Oc....nameless is great, but battery Life is worst than tequila to me.
Oss cam are great but with gcam and a good config file i take better pics than oss cam.
I was on CrDroid since I bought phone in summer. After trying OOS13 beta I went back to CrDroid but I had issues with fingerprint since then. Whenever I needed it I had to restart phone to get it work.
Now I am on Nameless since A13 and I can recommend it. No issues with it whatsoever.

Could you list the important OOS 13 features missing on CrDroid? I'm trying to decide whether to switch.

As it's been a while since I had flashed that rom, so I'm not quite sure what they have in there now. I know they do have the OOS Cam, though. Some features are in there that I remember, but sort of just rebranded. Here are the list of CRDroid features from their GitHub:

I'm currently on latest Nameless 12, & sticking on it for a while.
it got the best of pixel features, while retaining oneplus specific features that we love.
Tried Nameless 13 when it was released, but downgrade cuz A13 still a bit buggy.
