I was WP/iOS user and recently switched to Android. Just got my OP3, which is my first Android device. I am wondering, which custom ROM should I get. I kinda need more battery life and SOT so I want to ditch the OOS.
Do note that I have literally 0 use for fingerprint scanner, android pay and camera (well, not fully but any mediocre quality camera/pictures will work).
Also, I would appreciate if there is any guide or video tutorial, showing the whole process of custom ROM installation.
I would recommend Cyanogenmod 13.0 with Elemental X kernel.

OOS is a great near-stock rom tbh, but if you still want to try another I'd recommend Sultan's CM
Would recommend you to stay with stock as you may feel all this tweaking thing a bit laggy (coming from iOS , which doesn't let you even customize properly) but for sake of having the taste of tweaking :
Its a 2 part step
1) Unlocking bootloader , installing TWRP , backing up your data (as this will completely wipe out your phone) including whats app (using google drive built-in feature) and messages (using "SMS back up and restore" available in Play Store) . Avoid using links provided in video discriptions

TWRP Recovery : https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3.img.html
2 ) Installing Custom Rom close to stock with patched Kernal would be better for you to address battery and SOT issue and lot of audio mods , I would suggest freedom OS 1.6 CE ,

I'd say OOS on stock has the best battery. If you want some rock hard stability along with battery, go for ElementalX kernel on OOS. If you dont want OOS so badly, then go for sultanxda s rom.

I've never been interested in securing my phone and thought I would not use the FP scanner but found it is the quickest and easiest way to unlock the phone so I use and love it now. Just a quick press and the phone is ready to go instead of a double-tap + swipe etc. I suggest you get familiar with OOS for a while before you jump.
Resurrection Remix Blackjubel is great
There es elementalx Kernel preinstalled
It's smooth and stable and battery life is also good.
And you have many in build Features so you don't have to install xposed.

Just at OOS, just root it, install Xposed and use Amplify and Greenify. It'll boost your SOT a lot. Also don't use Chrome browser. It drains battery a lot.
No one can tell you what the best custom ROM for you is as everyone's preferences vary, my advice stick to stock for now . SOT will improve over the first week of usage and you need to get to know the device / OS before choosing a rom to mitigate any perceived weaknesses. Take your time assessing new roms, as I said SOT will take about a week to stabilise. Above all enjoy yourself it only takes a few minutes to flash a new rom do why not try them all.
New to android?
Then start reading, you have a hell lot of things to learn, don't blindly jump into what random users says is good, laziness will damage your phone and diminish your trust in Android
Sent from my Darkside of Edge plus
Features:
De-bloated, Rooted, BusyBox installed, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Sqlite3 binary, smoother interface, better RAM management, full kernel control (install Kernel Adiutor from Playstore), improved internet/data speed, tweaked read/write from memory. GPS accuracy improved.
Notes:
Just download the Asus apps you need from the Playstore. Download Asus Weather for the Lockscreen Clock.
As this is stock based, kernel CPU is still controlled by default Power Manager app, so set it to Performance to maximize CPU speeds.
If you want more control in tweaking this ROM, I recommend flashing ABS Tweaks v5.0, just make sure to delete everything in the init.d folder before flashing. ABS Tweaks thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-arkaynine-boost-script-v3-0-t3120404
Instructions:
You must be on Marshmallow firmware with TWRP installed to flash this ROM.
Back up your current rom, check Boot, Aboot, System, Data in TWRP/Backup.
Clean install required. Wipe Cache/Dalvik/Data in TWRP.
Flash Rom zip.
Initial boot may take longer than usual, normally 8-10 mins.
Once phone boots and you complete setting up, download, install and run Uni-init.apk to activate init.d support, then reboot to activate tweaks.
ROM Download: https://mega.nz/#!sN1y0KwL!6qdvubX-n-CIoXTjCl7oTzmmEUp6_ioH9m7l33de69s
Thanks a lot, I m going to test it !

Sir you're also from the Philippines right?
Btw is this rom got some major bugs etc? Does off charging work?
Im currently using the RR official rom running nougat 7.1.1
How can I change to this rom? Should I reflashed the stock recovery and then flash stock rom from asus before flashing twrp again then flash this rom?
Or can I flash this directly from twrp while on RR nougat rom? Thanks in advance
since CleanMax is stock based, the bugs from the Lineage based roms are not present, so no offline charging bug. coming from a Lineage based rom, you just have to do a clean wipe before flashing this on TWRP.
Need to flashing Reaper Kernel ?
it's entirely up to you, flash Reaper or keep stock kernel. no problems with either
I did flash this coming from RR rom
Cant download any app at playstore (using wifi)
Higher ram usage than RR even there is nothing other app installed yet?
I did not flash any kernel just did follow all the instruction before I flash the rom zip file from the dl link
Did I do something wrong? Or it needs some tweaking before I can use it to its optimum performance/battery usage?

on Stock Rom, i cant set CPU speed to maximum when charging? How to fix it?
Stock kernel will always reset to default clock speed

Wow. thanks. I want to try this now.

Update: Flashed from MM stock and I've got bootlooped. Or may be it's because my stock MM is already on bootloop?
Flashed it on my device with absolutely no problems and it works as intended. I was previously using RR nougat ROM and I had no problem installing this after wiping everything in recovery except external storage (which contained the cleanMAX rom zip). Been using it for about a day and I`m pleased with the performance. Animations and system run smoothly and I haven`t encountered any errors or bugs yet. Ram usually sits at about 50-60% on casual use which is more than better for my taste. As for the battery, I can only say that it handles well so far. Installed the ROM this morning when battery was 90%, now it`s almost 8 pm and battery is at 70% having in mind I constantly used it for texting and installing my necesary apps. I figure I`d probably need a couple more days to see how the really battery performs. But overall for now I personally really like this rom, thank you creator!

Flash custom kernel
Vegito is good. Underclock the cpu for heating problem.
For battery drain use greenify app.

If I unlock my bootloader and install a custom rom I can still use banking apps so long as its not rooted?? Or will the fact that the bootloader is unlocked stop the banking apps working?
I'm currently stuck on P2a42_S251_171107_ROW and would like to upgrade
Thanks
I'm using LineageOS 15.1 and rooted with Magisk.
All banking apps and Android pay etc work fine.

What Magisk are you using, I have unlocked my bootloader and installed Lineage 15.1 and SU but Magisk fails to install due to the vendor partition?
thanks
Are you using the TWRP version from the Lineage wiki? It has treble support etc.
Using Magisk 17.2 beta.

I'm in stock android
Can anyone help me to clarify my questions ( All based on custom ROM )
1. Fast charging will work on custom ROM or not ?
2. Volte & Vilte will work or not ?
3. Custom ROM will damage battery life or not ?
I can only answer your first question, because my operator doesn't offer VoLTE, but according to comments on the custom rom that I'm using (Xtended version 10) it seems to be working. Screen-on time is now over 3hrs and I have 3,5 days to go, last charge was about 3,5 days ago. So the battery lasts over a week in my situation, which is/was a little better than on the stock rom from that day, about 2 years ago.
Fast charging is working on this custom rom, yes
Ow, and OP, I have a custom rom as you can read above , my P2 is rooted, also with Magisk, and no problem at all with my banking app; it doesn't even notice me that I'm on a custom rom.

> 3. Custom ROM will damage battery life or not ?
With Lineage 15.1 and sensible apps/settings/general user behaviour, the standby time is fine. Adding in rooting/tweaking it feels like it is better than before (Android 6).
However, I am still troubleshooting what appears to be 30+% reduced screen-on time and high system process power usage with/without rooting.

Everything has its benefits and downsides.
But overall I have better sot and also much less lagg.
I'm having 15hours of sot.
Or 9-10hours with light usage.
I have tested the official nightly mokee rom 9.0 for mi 6. This seem to be based on lineage os( it's almost identical) but it is so much smoother. For now it's the fastest and smoother custom ROM ever tested in my life. About stability and battery I don't know because I use only 3 days.. seem to be good but it's recommended official recovery and official website gapps. Even the gaming is outstanding. The touch latency is so low and has lot of free ram. I tested also on S4. Lineage os official lag compared mokee .
Any reviews would be appreciated thanks
Great , can u share some screenshot about the settings or feature list ? I Would change to mokee if stable ? thanks before

SElinux works in the basis that it will only allow predefined activities to be run on the system. So like fingerprint activities is common. To be enforcing the developer has to define all of these rules. Tedious and time consuming they have to do it last and it takes a while.
Permissive or disabled just means any activity can run.
Its not as safe as enforcing. But if you use root then arguably you defeat the point of enforcing anyway...
Don't worry about it unless your phone needs to be 100% secure... In which case you should be using stock MIUI anyway
Permissive is the same as disabled except it's is logging right?
Well that's true actually.. having a rootet custom rom might not be super secure anyway... lol
I have checked that @xiaobai112220 still maintain sagit repo on github
sounds promising
Did you still use Mokee? How is the battery? I'm using LOS 15.1 nightly and is not that good. If Mokee is better than Lineage maybe i will try it.
I use Mokee from 7hours and i can say, its the faster rom what i use. Battery is pretty nice. Actually have SOT 2h from 80% to 65% battery. If u want somethink more u can ask. Pages on stock internet app loading instanly.
which type of rom do you guys use? "release" or "nightly"

Mokee 8.0 or 9.0? On 9.0 i got massive battery drain, for example on night time (while i'm sleeping) i got about 8-10% battery juice off, with Wi-Fi, data, gps, nfc and all those turned off. In my opinion it's very much....

Which firmware did you flash? What rom did you use before mokee?
the procedure in order to avoid problems
Clean install:
flash via fastboot official tpwr
reboot recovery
format data and all partitons
VIA ADB SIDELOAD:
install modem /firmware stable 10.2.1 global or chinese ( about 61mb)
install mokee rom 9.0 latest nightly( it has the latest march security patches with improved read write storage improvements )
install official latest gapps
reboot
for root flash magisk after first boot
How's Mokee compared to the latest PixelExperience CAF?
