Should i flash a custom rom? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hello, so I'm asking if I should flash a custom ROM instead of keeping my OOS 4.1.3?

U have to try man. It's clear thing for this device.

One of available versions of RR, phoenix AEX, official AEX, Dirty Unicorns. Today im back to Phoenix AEX, it is a great, stable and fast rom with great developer.

This is so vague, as it tells us nothing about what features you may be looking for, why you want a custom ROM, etc.
If you are just looking for something different, then sure, go for it. Similarly, if certain features of a custom ROM (or ROMs) look attractive, then go for it. There is really no downside, as unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty. And reversing any changes (returning to stock) is pretty easy as well.
On the other hand, stock OOS is amazingly good. Very little bloat or skinning, but with the right amount (IMO) of customization added. Many folks (myself included) accustomed to flashing custom ROMs to get the most out of their device, have been just happy with stock OOS. But of course, there is always room for improvement, tweaking, etc.
It's an individual choice. Most users of Android devices will never flash a custom ROM. Majority probably don't even know what that means.

First determine what you`re missing in stock OOS, find those features in a custom rom/kernel and flash it. Done

Its not just a rom or kernel that makes great batterylife, mobile reception strenght (modem ) and usage (apps, syncing, gaming yes or no) are vital too.

I'd go with FreedomOS or RRemix. Really LineageOS is mostly placebo battery fixes and an overabundance of customization options. Most of the lineage roms outside of RRemix are very unstable or just kinda useless. Hate to say it cuz some devs put lots of time in but Ive always found worse battery life with the same usage patterns on anything but stock.

Oh. That's bad. I want to use a custom ROM. But if Oxygen is so much better?!?!? :silly:
No good ROM available?

Well Oxygen OS was made for this specific phone in mind remember. So of course it fares best.

I don't know. Perhaps lineage with sultan kernel is an option.
I try to find the best ROM with great battery life, performance, stability, features etc. Any recommendations?
Phoenix is good, Resurrection remix also, but how is battery life and performance? So many features in it...

In the time you've been waiting around for someone to make a decision for you; you could have just unlocked the bootloader and flashed a ROM (of even more than one) and be trying it yourself.
Just make a TWRP backup of the stock ROM (or otherwise, know how to return to stock with the official zip file) and you can easily revert if you don't like the ROM you flashed.
No point in waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. Everyone's opinion and preference is going to be different. Just because someone tells you to flash a ROM or not (or which one), doesn't mean that is the right answer for you as an individual.
Even things like battery life and performance are going to vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your device (as others have also mentioned). Then also throw in the differences in personal preferences and tastes; and the result is that you can't go by the direction of others. You need to decide for yourself.

You're right. It's only so difficult to decide, because here are so many ROMs and kernels and they are all similar and I want a good daily driver and don't want to change it the next years.

I will try lineage with sultanxda kernel. I hear it has amazing battery life.
I also like Resurrection Remix , but I suppose, it has bad battery life, but I'm not sure.

I've tried a handful of roms... they're all just fine in my opinion but I seem to always end up back on the Oxygen stock rom. I root, but that's about it. I just can't get over how well Oxygen OS is running these days compared to my OP2 ... Just flash and try! You won't hurt anything, and if you do you have a 99% chance of fixing it!

Nuclea vs Nightlies

I just flashed Nightlies CM 13 frankly because it's the only one with a youtube video I can follow because THESE GUIDES assume that everyone reading them has EXP in flashing.
Anyways so I found a youtube video on how to flash from stock to CM Nightlies and so I was able to flash it yay! I find it very nice except for the damm keyboard which sometimes doesnt work until u refresh many times and it sometimes go on landscape mode even though the phone's on portrait (btw if u know a solution for this lemme know). Otherwise it's great, I have no issues with fingerprint and ...other stuff. Frankly im kind of a ressurected android because last android i had which i also flashed was Galaxy Y before switching to iOS jailbreaking.
But I saw Nuclear and I read it's the best blabalabla. So What I would like to ask is what am I missing from Nuclear?
~Stability? so far not encountering any stability issues with nightlies.
~Built in features? Nightlies seems to have the stuff I need.
Please tell me.
I apologize for the long post im just a babbler and im very new here.
You won't find any difference in stability really, between CM nigbtlies and Nuclear, or Bliss, or Dirty Unicorn ...
Is pretty much the same base, the difference will be in additional features and some tweaks
I can't say which is the best for you, by I advise you look on YouTube/google. You should be able to find videos or description.
Or if your feeling adventurous now that you know how to flsah, try them!

Yes, did not want to get into the details since he's just starting flashing.
But in the case of the available Rom for ZUK atm there is not a big difference in everyday use in terms of stability etc.. mainly feature wise.

When you use dual sim, on dirty unicorn(a great rom so far) you get some trouble
Sent from my Z1 using my hand
You really have to try them or read them up. I honestly can't say which is the best for you.
Clear example is the answer before that. I don't care about dual Sim and system profile but like better AOSP coz Im tweaking that branch so can adapt for myslef.

Im just not sure if I understand the descriptions for these mods even though Ive read all that's available... but I am curious about nuclear.
Since I just flashed Nightlies. Beforehand I flashed TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader but did not flash SuperSU as it said in the video I followed....
1.) ....Can I just go to fastboot and just restore factory settings and flash Nuclear directly?
2.) Will my files and apps stay? Have 10GB worth of music and 100 apps that I already set up and installed..not in the mood in doing them ALL over again.
Thanks!

1.) You have to go into TWRP and do factory reset. But do follow the instructions to install nuclearom in the rom thread!
2.) All files stored in INTERNAL STORAGE(see partitions within TWRP) will not be deleted.
Apps are stored in data and will be wiped and you have to install again unless you backup them eg with Titanium Backup(great tool for flashaholics).
Read carefully all necessary guides.

Best rom for 3T?

Wjat is best rom for Oneplus 3T and why? But I want rom where xposed is working.
No ROM is 'the best'
You have numerous options to test and see for yourself which one suits your needs the best. You can go either for stock (based) or AOSP ROMs, it's all about what you are looking for. Also no choice is bad here - all ROMs for 3T are of really outstanding quality and not a single one will let you down. Just play around for a couple of days, try out different ways to go and pick your favorite.
If it's about me - latest stock rooted with Magisk is just enough. Oxygen OS is supremely optimized and the system is almost pure Android but with all the essential flavors AOSP lacks.
Fully agree with the previous comment. If there was a "best" ROM for everyone, we would all be using it, and there wouldn't be a need for any ROM except that one. What features are important in a ROM, is going to vary from person to person. The performance and stability (often a question "which ROM has the best performance?") is also going to vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use the phone, apply further tweaks, etc.
Your best bet is to browse through the ROMs, select a couple or few that look like they meet your preferences, and flash them, and try for yourself (be sure to make a TWRP backup of your current setup before flashing any ROMs, so you can easily revert); and see what works best for you.

No i don't have, bought this phone on this week's monday. Immediately rooted and flashed twrp, Now I have Resurrection Remix, but it's little bit buggy and not filling my expectations. (Sry for bad english)
I'm looking for a really good ROM, too.
Stability, everything should work fine. Don't want to clean flash every few months.
I don't need to customize every colour of every object. Need a perfect ROM for using it every day.
Any recommendations?
best rom official rr or the one from varun himself (g+)
no rom is the best.
you have to try some of them and choose one !
i tried at least more than 10 roms + defualt kernels and custom kernels.
and compare them together and flashed best based on my usage ! ( your usage may vary and of course other roms is best for you )
but :
if your main concern is not heavy camera usage and want stability + battery + xposed , i suggest you Sultanxda CM13 rom.(which i am using now.)

I like Dirty Unicorns very much.
Not so feature rich as Resurrection Remix, but rock solid and stable, with the most needed addons.
Camera quality is also very good.
Custom ROM with MM support and custom Kernel support should be good. Its either Custom Roms with MM support without custom kernel support or Nougat with custom kernel support.
I test LineAge OS from Sultanxda. It's popular for battery life and stability.
Is there a better ROM ??????
Every rom is good in a way, there is no "best"
Try a few, and settle with the one that suits your needs the best.

I've always had better battery life with stock but your mileage may vary. RR is probably the best ROM I've ever used for customization. Recommendations are great but nothing beats trying them out first hand. Just dive right in and make sure you make backups lol.

Have you compared sultanxda lineage with stock regarding battery life?
Resurrection Remix is the all in one package with every feature available. But some people called that bloated :silly:
I prefer stability and battery life and don't want to change every colour of every symbol.
I checked different Resurrection Remix ROMs. Nice, but at the moment I use lineage OS from sultanxda.
1 or 2 updates a month only and everything running perfectly. Nothing to play, but perfect daily driver.
But if I get bored, I will play with some ROMs :laugh:
Freedom OS is the best custom rom available for One Plus. It is completely based on stock with zero bloatware and it supports essentials like Viper, Ad-block etc. I have been using this for almost 3 months and haven't seen a single issue yet and the best part about this rom is you get better battery life the stock.

They are both great.
If you like features and want to customize every element of the GUI use Resurrection Remix.
If you like not so many features and more stability and battery life use lineage OS from sultanxda.
I prefer lineage OS, but it depends on your wishes.
id stick with stock. Ive tried lots of others and anything lineage based is pretty terrible. I know they put a lot of work into the OS but its not good. You always sacrifice something when using it, for me it was being able to use my recent apps menu, gps accuracy, battery life, multiwindow lag weird kernel intrusions such as frequency locking, overheating, random slowdowns, random inputs and speedups that just zip past every input ive wanted to do and does the last 10 things at once, scroll lag, touch lag, it goes on and on. Stick with stock oxygen, its the OS that was made especially for the 3/3T. The only thing wrong with it is some translation issues. But theyre funny because you know what they got wrong. For example you will never see the word "Okay" in stock oxygen it is always "Yes" its funny.

This questions is so vague, as to have no answer. There is no "good" or "bad", just what fits the particular individual. Plenty of folks are happy on the stock ROM, and plenty of folks are happy with any of the custom ROMs, as well. Everyone has different preferences, needs, usage patterns. You don't make any mention of your specific preferences or requirements. Even if you did, it's not that hard to read through the ROM threads, and just decide for yourself. No stranger is going to make the right decision for you.

Ok so I'm trying to find a daily driver. I've done a lot of flashing. I have used dirty unicorns, linage, rr, aokp. I just can't figure out what I want to run so I want to see what everyone else is running. This isn't a hich room is best thread. Just tell us what your running and why that rom.

RR is a customized LineageOS with lots of extra options. The launcher however, you decide over no matter what ROM your running. I'm also using Nova on stock LOS.
Lineage OS from sultanxda. Stable, best battery life, best camera, no bloat, not so many unnecessary options

Ya when I was running it I had some force closes and some lag. But I'm not looking for the "best" ROM BC that's going to differ for everyone I'm just seeing what ppl are running.
I decided to flash sultans linage. I'll give up the customization for stability.

Yes, it is. Call it what you want: most popular, favorite, best ROM. It's still all just the same question. Everyone has massively different preferences and needs, and your experience will vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your phone. Asking strangers to make a decision for your is not only useless, it is also bizarre. You clearly already have the knowledge/ability to try various ROMs (as you stated you did). So leaving the decision to something as arbitrary as a stranger's whim (or a ROM's popularity) is just strange.
I'd also caution against using a ROM, just because it's widely used and "most popular". Plenty of times in the past, the ROM that worked best for me, was one that was less popular, and more obscure. You do yourself an injustice by ignoring these "hidden gems".
For the first time after using a smartphone, i decided to settle with Stock ROM. For me, it gives the best UI and a lot of useful options. I don't even need to tell that the Stock camera is far better than any other apps used in other Custom ROMs. Battery is really amazing too considering my way to use the cellphone( Facebook app, the great battery villain is full time here in use).

Fot OP3T i have tried Oxygen official, Oxygen Beta, Lineage & Ressuruction.
To me Oxygen beta since May has become really good, improved battery a lot.
Stock is always better
What about paranoid android?
Dear Sir,
If quick update is the requirement, the Lineage is the best and I have to say unofficial sultan 14.1 is the same as he is also quick but If you are installing sultan 14.1 for only battery back up then I think you should have a look with custom kernel such as franco and elemenatlx which are great in battery back up.
But for me and also with some other friends, stock oxygen is the best as camera is the main priority for me. For other features magisk is readily available.
Thanks to all developers for the support time to time.

Stock - i used to be a custom ROM guy but can barely be bothered now-a-days saying that ive never been as happy with a stock ROM as i am with OSS.

[KERNEL] [Android 12] [v12.9] MVK - Maximum Velocity Kernel

For those familiar with Velocity Rom this is the kernel I build for it. Velocity hasnt been on XDA as a rule so Im sure not many are familiar. Velocity is my personal Rom Ive been building for years and have shared with all that are interested. This isnt and will never be an "official development project" but will always exist as long as I continue to develop Android roms.
Velocity is focused on speed, stability, and efficiency and not on adding every imaginable feature. As this is my personal Rom it will have everything I deem useful to me and/or that doesnt compromise the goals of the project.
I dont add every conceivable governor, I/O scheduler, or other user tweakable options. In fact, I typically remove all the options and keep the best. This is designed as a plug and play kernel, not something to be changed. Its also not designed for other Roms.
Please do not ask for features, ETA's, or related. Again, this is my personal kernel for my personal Rom and will be shared accordingly. That said, I do encourage healthy, friendly dialog in my threads.
Flashing instructions
1) Reboot to bootloader
2) Fastboot boot 'bootimage_name'.img to make sure it boots with no issues
3) Reboot to bootloader again
4) Fastboot flash boot 'bootimage_name'.img
5) Buckle up for safety - optional of course

Thanks for this!
It's great to see another person building for our device. Not that the others aren't doing great work, but the more the merrier.
Once Q source drops, the real fun will begin. I can see potential for crazy speed and battery life over 10 hrs SOT on Q. Im coming from Shamu (Nexus 6) so this is quite a change in use and development. I think Im getting a good handle on what makes it tick though.
Question, am running bootleggers rom, kernel flashed fine and everything smooth, only thing wifi was broken, I wiped dalvik and restart phone issue still persist.

Not surprising. This is why I stated it works on stock but no idea on custom ROMs. I can cook a boot image if you want to try that, but that would also be based on stock.
Boot image is up in the same folder if you want to try that, but this really is designed to run on either my Rom or stock. Once velocity is out I won't be building stand alone kernels.

My bad I overlooked that part.. Understood, I'll wait till you cook up the rom and rock with it.. Thanks in advance
Android 10 kernel coming soon. Got it all working correctly now. Will be a magisk patched boot.img for now as that seems to work best.
I don't see any files in the pixel 3a xl folder
Which file is the correct one to download? Folders are showing as empty?

I just updated all the folders and OP. I just uploaded the build to the current link in the OP.
Kernel flashed great....running it now. Will reply soon on overall usage. I flashed it through EX kernel manager.
V10.1 uploaded......see changelog for differences

And so it begins. Thank you my friend!
Yes, expect a lot of builds for the next week or two. I'm trying to work on the ROM side too but 10 is very different than Pie and so it's slow going.
Works nicely. Thanks for your effort!

How is your battery life compared to the previous version?
Wasn't on it long enough but I would expect they would be the same. Honestly I won't get a good battery cycle until I'm done getting this where I want it. I'm already several versions newer than 10.1

Well, thank you for your continued work.
v10.2 up
I had an issue with touchscreen not working when waking up from sleep on 10.2. I use the fingerprint and if i unlock the phone from sleep (always on display showing) touch wont work but if i wake it, switch off the screen with the button and unlock again quickly then it's ok. Reverted to 10.1
