OxygenOS CB vs official - OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Is the performance of the community build of oxygenOS better than the official version?

Without looking at benchmarks and based only on real-world user experience, I would say that both version perform almost the same.
I might give to official 3.2.7 a slight edge, but they are really really close in my humble opinion.

i've noticed the app launch times on community build has been better than oxygen os. I still prefer oxygen os due to it being the closer one to stock.
You should really give it a shot yourself to see if you get better performance on cb or oss.

I was under the impression that the CB version would be 'unstable' but it definitely is not.
I must say OOS is more polished (enhanced?) AOSP.
I am getting the same battery life as the 3.2.7 so no worries there too.

hello, it is problematic returning from cb 7 beta oxygenOs stok?

OnePlus has implemented improved file system on OP3T. When they were asked that if these improvements would be implemented on OP3, they said that they are already present in community builds of OP3. Which is why the app opening speeds are quite noticeably better on CBs. But there definitely are minor stutters/lags while scrolling. These are not that often but are definitely there.
Stable versions (which I haven't really used a lot since CB 3.5.2) doesn't have that fast app opening speed but provides a more consistent experience. I went back to stable 3.2.6 for a while and there was not a single stutter anywhere, anytime. Ultimately came back to CBs when they implemented app lock.

Don't worry about benchmarks, they are meaningless. 3,000 extra points in Antutu means absolutely nothing in real world performance.

Is B361 worth it?

So I'm on B186 at the moment, it's not bad. But the features from Nougat look decent, such as split screen, app drawer, more customization etc. But at the same tiem I've seen a lot of people rolling back to 182, some say the battery is bad and other issues.
So I thought I'd ask for opinions from people who have it, had it. Is it worth the hassle especially for people that don't get the OTA but have to go through the huawei updater route?
Also last time I tried updating to it I had no keyboard/camera app on it and took me a day to get back to stock. Are there any precautions I could take so it won't happen again?
I have it and I only seen slight battery improvements (may be placebo) however performance is noticeably better especially in the touch response area. From what I see, its MM but with better performance and slightly better battery life with some added extra features. That alone is good enough reason for me to upgrade. One of the reasons on the performance increase and one of the main reasons that I was eager to jump on Nougat is because of the Vulcan API which is native to Android 7.

Few questions concerning Resurrection Remix

Hi everybody,
as I'm new to all these flashing custom ROMs stuff, I would like to get answers to some questions concerning Resurrection Remix and the OnePlus 3T.
First of all, how stable is this ROM on said Smartphone? Comparable to Oxygen OS? Maybe even better?
Is the camera-quality as good as stock Oxygen OS?
Are OTA Updates provided or do I have to manually update new updates of Resurrection Remix?
Do I have to pay attention to something when flashing it on my vanilla OnePlus 3T (no root, just out-of-the-box)?
Thanks in advance!
The RR rom on the OP3T is awesome. Very stable, more than stock I'd say. Definitely feels smoother and faster. I made the OP3T into a near identical pixel experience (I had one). Battery life anecdotally seems to last longer. Like I said, it's awesome.
Camera is simply not as good and if you prioritize the camera this ROM is probably not for you. Photos are clear when gotten just right and the image quality is there after a separate file you need to flash, plus you can get the stock OP3T camera minus a few features (HDRa) and HD video recording at 60FPS I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But focus and shutter speed suffer, a lot.
I ran into a few apps that would not work properly, like Duo and a few others plus other XDA members mentioning apps don't work. This for me was a deal breaker. Had it not been for Duo, I'd still be on it. My family uses this extensively.
But.... This has to be expected. It's development after all. The customization options are amazing. I really like RR rom on this op3t. I'd say try it out.
RR is my favorite ROM on OP3T - it has tons of features and always works reliable. I update about every two weeks.

I tried today ZeNiTy-Resurrection-Remix-N-[EAS]-[OMS]-[Optimized]-[3/3T] by ZeNiXxX, i think it's better for camera (OOs camera)
Reliable? Yes. As reliable as stock.
Camera? Eh, no. You lose slow motion video, HQ and you kinda lose HDR.
Ota? No. You have to flash. But you don't have to lose your data, you can dirty flash updates.
There are tutorials on how to flash stuff and what to look out for.
With the exception of the camera, the RR Rom is awesome and has tons of customization options. My favorite is the ability to even customize the carrier logo and battery status indicator. Super stable and buttery smooth.
Thanks a lot for your advices! Think I will stay with OxygenOS as camera-quality is pretty important for me.
Camera quality is important to me as well, so I tried out Oxygen-based FreedomOS. It's a great compromise between stock OxygenOS while still having some custom features. You don't get all the customization that you get with Lineage or RR, but you do get a few nice things, plus you can get uninstall OxygenOS default apps if you plan on replacing them with Google Apps. So far it's been my go-to.
I would personally say CM 13 is better than RR, CM 13 is MM based rom and all the apps including xposed are supported and theme engine is also available. unlike RR, camera is also good in CM13, battery life is also excellent about 7 to 9 hours of Screen on Time can be expected. I used RR for couple of weeks, there are of course bugs which will irritate us, you can opt CM13 in my opinion. If you want Anddoid N for the sake of having latest version, you can opt RR.

Performance of Oreo ROMS

Hi,
Below are the GeekBench/AnTuTu/Basemark OS scores for the Titan's stock Lollipop ROM.
https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_2014-review-1139p5.php
I achieved SLIGHTLY better results (increased by 1-3%) with a debloated stock Marshmallow ROM and the interactive governor. Switching to the performance governor does not bring any noticeable advantage. In short—nothing to write home about, there is no need to post the results as they are nearly identical to those in GSM Arena's review.
Can you please run these benchmarks on AospExtended aka AEX, Pixel Experience, Resurrection Remix, AICP,and other Oreo ROMs, and share your scores?
Scores from those who have low-RAM property enabled or are running an Android One build of PE are of special interest.
Purpose: it would be great to gather some objective data on whether Oreo ROM performance is better or worse than performance for Lollipop/Marshmallow.
i have test on geekbench 4 the stock 5.0 vs my daily drive rom dirty unicorn 11.7 (7.1.2) and the result is vary similar the 5.0 won in dual core but the du 11.7 have batter single core score.
I don't think Nougat or Oreo will have the same results. They don't perform as fast as Lollipop or Marshmallow on Titan, but it's great to have newer OS running on old hardware with acceptable performance.

I tend to think that an Android Go ROM may come very close in terms of performance to a stock ROM because Android Go was made specifically for low-RAM and low-spec devices.

Maybe you're right, but I didn't test any Android Go ROM.
The Go version does not bring any benefit in term of performance, I even had the experience in using for a while the version of the Pixel Experience Go, and honestly it was not better in anything, still less in RAM management, because at that time it was beating of RAM free 370MB, and in the Go version did not reach 260MB free, being between 214 to 250MB, with the same applications installed, that is, at least in MotoG 2014, this was just theory.
Another thing to be mentioned is that it should not be based on what the graph shows on the recent screen, it is not a parameter of anything, it should be seen directly in running services, where you can see what you have really available.

It really simplifies having an app to go directly, particularly I have no problem with that, I spent a little extra time getting into settings.
But I'm going to check out this app, I only knew about it, it was going to go undetected by me.:good:

The most promising combination would be Android Go ROM plus Go versions of apps — they have a smaller storage/RAM footprint.
ROMs with Oreo is very low ,I AM using Lollipop

pie performance improvement?

Screenshots ->Exynos varient
Please show more screens of antutu results
I see some improvement in performance
I can also feel the difference slightly.
I think the overall performance is worse than Oreo. It stutters a bit when switching between apps for example. But it will most likely be improved in the stable version.

This is why beta versions isn't rolled out to everyone around the world, but instead only a few people that explicitly opt in for it. Otherwise the whole world would cry and shout how crap Samsung is and their new update, without realising it's just a beta and will certainly still have bugs. Luckily you have the intelligence to realise this.

Question Anyone else dissapointed in the Realme GT2?

I picked this phone up as secondary device/work phone. I've had it for about 6 months now, after spending some time trawling reviews, and I find myself dissapointed.
I have updated the firmware every time to see if issues are resolved, however I am still not 100% happy.
My main issues are as follows:
Battery life seems really random, even with very little running, especially for a 5000Mah battery.
Performance feels heavily capped
I feel like the hardware of this phone just isn't being properly utilised, or has been performanced capped (maybe to try and prevent taking market share from the company's higher end devices). My personal mobile is an Oppo Find X2 Pro, using a Snapdragon 865, and whilst some stuff is noticeably fast and as snappy as I'd expect from the Snapdragon 888 in this phone, other things just feel slow or stuttery. Perfect example is games. In many games, like Diablo Immortal, the older Find X2 Pro sits around 60FPS with few issues and reasonable settings.
If I try to run the same settings with this phone, I'm greeted with a much more variable 40-60 FPS, which no amount of tweaking the settings seems to fix. There is no way the Snapdragon 865 should be outperforming the 888, but it is. The underlying OS is very similar as Oppo and Realme are part of the same group, to the point they even use the same game toolkit, but despite all this and the better hardware, the Realme is outperformed by the older Find X2 Pro.
Am I the only one getting this experience?
it is a great phone but I agree to you at the most
For me the best problem is the Os .
The apps is free to do what they want without a capable phone manager to stop them.
I also have this phone since it came out, very disappointed! Bad battery, heating, low performance in most apps, camera colors, audio etc.

Can't believe no one is talking about this..
Got mine weeks ago with first release of Android 12 pre-installed (from October 2021). Performance was amazing, Diablo was buttery smooth even stupidly maxed-out. Did only one OTA update (still Android 12 after that), it killed performance from every games even at low settings, stutters was everywhere, even at 30FPS cap, unnaceptable. Then did OTA to Android 13, same even with factory reset. Was thinking of returning it at that point.
Then, tried to unlock bootloader to clean install the oldest Android 12 available from here. Games was again buttery smooth, but camera app was crashing and OS had weird glitchs, soo.. was stuck here, disapointed. Tried using the newest Adreno GPU Drivers with root, same garbage performance from games. Debloated the entire rom, same. What's strange is that benchmarks results like 3DMark doesn't show any degradation from good A12 to bad A12/A13.. was thinking it could be refresh rate related but even tweaking with SmartHertz didn't help.
I'm now on Pixel OS (available from the official website), performance is amazing, original GT2 camera app is pre-installed (quality is exactly the same as ColorOs), have unlimited space usage from Photos in original quality, and everything is working. You also don't need SmartHertz to get everything in 120Hz (like Brave), "adaptative" resfresh rate is working too (60/120Hz). Battery life, got 12H SOT on a three days basis with mostly browsing usage, some photos, little games, and basic power saver on, ended at 7%. Pretty happy now, it's surprisely good for a rom this early.
So yes, all of this crap is ColorOS related. Something got broken somewhere at the A12 2022 timeline.
They unfortunately halted (momentarily ?) their unlock server so..
@Lightning- , are you talking about pixelos from this site? https://pixelos.net/download/porsche
Can you also point to a tutorial on how to get back to stock after flashing pixelos?
Yes, this one. There is also LineageOS rom but it just keep bootlooping on my side for some reason.
Revert to stock : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-ota-packages.4542941/post-88558929 + https://github.com/italorecife/OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
For me it is the battery life and the lack of modification to the rom

This is really informative, thank you. I just wanted to ask if the microphone problem that this phone had is fixed when using Pixel OS?
friends, I'm on rmx3311_11_A.13 software right now and I don't like it especially charging and heating. there is rmx3311_11_A.22 update now, should i install it

On Android 13 the CPU has been capped to 80°c which otherwise would be 95°c, this is done in order to reduce overheating, this increases battery backup however reduces performance by 10-20%, there is a magisk module I've made that unlocks this cap if you want I can send

I suggest you stay on Realme UI since it seems to be more stable than any other AOSP based rom rn, it has better battery backup and camera quality too, but the choice is yours

Almost three weeks with POS. I don't have any issue at all, better than stock, better battery life, no stability issue (no FC or randoms reboot), and camera is the exact same (tested with two GT2, one with POS and one with RUI 13 locked bootloader, there is ZERO difference in photos..). It has unlimited storage too with Google Photos at original quality (even with RAW), wich is a big plus by itself, no root required.
LineageOS is available too but it always bootloop on mine so can't test it.

Will I be able to return to RUI in the future if I install a custom rom? (And still get the updates). Also How did you unlock the bootloader. The deep test app doesn't seem to work.
