Every ROM I tried had issues, including the stock ROM.
Stock ROM - Lockscreen notifications not working (very annoying to unlock phone to change song in spotify) I tried everything to enable them but they just couldn't work. Also icons are horrible.
CM 13 - Wifi o data suddenly is lost, apps enter in "bugged state" and the stop working as soon as I open them (chrome, facebook, spotify) restarting solves the issue temporarily. I love CM but restarting the phone 2-3 times a day is really annoying.
MM Stock ROM - Flickering screen during first boot up, can't continue further.
Which ROM should I use? I really like this phone but can't find a proper Android to use with.
Thanks
have you found any? i am searching for a stable rom aswell. I am currently on stock rom but the notification problems areannoying as hell...
The unofficial CM13 released today by surdu_petru is pretty stable for me. Fixed all the bugs I was having. This is my daily phone and it is day and night with EMUI.
Hi there,
I run RR and I'm just curisous.
What for stable rom you people use now?
With good GPS, Battery, Wifi etc
thanks
Nothing is stable (depending how you define it) right now but OOS open beta 9 is your best bet.
I have tried most N builds! Please try beanstalks new build! Stable! Amazing battery (my daily driver) deffo must try!
Unofficial resurection remix is pretty stable for me, gps working fine and i get good battery

Yes! Whenever i roam playstore downloads never start in OOS beta 9!!!!
In which roms, echo in call fixed?
You can download and flash the fix
I tried Freedom OS CE but didnt really like it
Now i'm using Unofficial resurection remix N and i love this Rom
OOS OB10 (nougat beta) is perfectly stable
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
Thanks for the thread and detailed info!

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, 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.
So this is a problem it seems everyone encounters. If there is a fix posted here I've missed it. The colors become corrupted so often it's unusable IMO. I usually have to reboot. So I'm rebooting all the time. I really need to find a way to fix this or I have to go back to stock.
Maybe this is why Lineage 17 is stickied. I need to read that now. Thank you.
Edit: It is fixed in builds past 20210627
I have just flashed the latest build "lineage-18.1-20210829-nightly-channel-signed" and am still getting the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix please?
Well the problem continues and seems to have gotten worse.
After some months, I've updated to lineage-18.1-20210912. The problem is still there and seems worse, happening more often randomly. Only solution is as before switch from natural to saturated (vice versa) untill your frustrated.
As this is my mums phone, can't ask her to keep doing that. May have to return to stock which I dont really want.
Tbh, I'd be frustrated too.
I'm surprised theres no LOS 18.1 thread in rom section.
I'm also curious about the other roms based on 17.1/18.1, are they having the same problem?
It appears to be lineage at fault as whilst experimenting I have successfully flashed BlissRoms, ArrowOS and my favourite Resurrection Remix and all are fine. I have stuck with Resurrection Remix with no problems to date. I have not flashed it with GAPPS but can run a few things like outlook, dropbox and other by downloading apks from APKMirror.

Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this 3 hrs ago, still working.
Good luck.
Update: Last night I reinstalled Majisk and Root Checker,and suddenly this morning, my screen was flickering, with psychedelic colors again
I instantly removed both, and da da, the colors were beautiful again???
Just saying.... we'll see what happens.
I no longer have Root, but the colors are beautiful.
Used to have this problem but haven't seen it in weeks. I'm guessing if you poke around in the settings you can find some fix

how about the performance in games with resurrection or do you recommend another rom?
Same thing here. I flashed 3 phones g7 Play that I did choose because they are in the list of supported phones in the Lineage OS list. All three have the same issue. Apparently, switching battery save mode on and off an then locking/unlocking the screen very reliably triggers the problem. But it will appear also spontaneously after a short while.
Tried a lot of different settings.all eventually failed.
I found a zip named LiveDisplay,that seems to help. Flashed mine through FKM, Franco Kernel Manager.
Exact name is "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip".

Please give me a download link. Search in the browser unfortunately did not return results. Found only for Moto G5S
I used Franco Kernel Manager to download the zip. If you are rooted, just install Franco Kernel Manager and look for "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip.
I recently installed Pixel Experience, but I am considering going back to Lineages now that 19 is available for Moto G7 Power.
Good luck.
I think Lineage OS 19 has corrected the Display issue, perhaps you should also just consider updating . Just a thought.
