My little brother has long complained that many of the games he would like to play simply don't work on his phone or he can't get access to them on Google Play.
So I started wondering whether flashing a custom rom would help the phone to run games that can't be ran on the stock rom.
Is it possible to expand the scope of runnable games with custom rom, and if so, which rom would be ideal for this?

Custom ROM only improves performance. Find the apk file of the game and install it. It's the best way.
use stock based rom and its overclocking feature
one more thing is Google lay shows many apps incompatible which in real are not
so just download the apk from external source and install
remember to buy the app if it is paid

Most games he cannot download means that they are coded for ARMv7 devices, galaxy mini ARMv6 based architecture, so they won't work, no matter what, or most of these games need to be converted and resized, but this means warez if the game is paid.
I bought new Oneplus 3T , could you please explain little bit about the ROMs and all the root stuff.
I had Lg g5 and it seems to be very different.
Enjoy the beauty
The following are my recommendations:
Root - Magisk
Recovery - I prefer blu_spark's TWRP
ROM- If you absolutely must have Oreo, I think Validus 8.0 is the best atm. If you're fine with nougat for now (like me) then paranoid Android works well. Stock OOS is great too, if you want to keep it.
You should be able to figure out how to install the roms and root from the instructions given in the OP of each thread.
Also, I recommend installing the Google Camera app with the slow motion fix for better shots.

This questions is really too vague to give a proper response. You want us to explain what exactly about ROMs and "root stuff"? It doesn't indicate to us whether you have modified phones before (custom ROM, and/or root), or what your level of knowledge is. You also don't state exactly what your goal or desire is. Do you want to flash a custom ROM? Do you want to root? Do you want both?
We can start guessing, and providing random info and answers. But it's probably not the best way to go about things. A lot of the info is already posted if you read and search. Everything you want to know has been asked and answered before, probably dozens of time. XDA has always been a wealth of information, for those willing to take the time to look for it.
Every phone has it's own nuances regarding mods like custom ROMs and root. Even different phones from the same manufacturer. Good advice for anyone, is to take at least an hour or so (even if you are experienced with mods - more if you are not) doing some reading of the existing resources, guides, etc. before you try to do anything with the phone. This will give you the best info on the proper way to mod this particular phone, with the most up-to-date methods, etc. Then, if you have specific questions or concerns, come on here and ask. In fact, I always do that research before I even buy the phone. It's part of the fun of a new phone, in my opinion.
I don't personally know anything about the G5. But the 3T is fairly easy to unlock the bootloader (mandatory in order to flash custom recovery, which is needed to flash ROMs and/or root), flash TWRP, then flash custom ROMs and/or root. The following guide is a pretty decent one: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/
Just keep in mind that some of the info (like OOS version numbers, etc.) are not completely current. And you should typically use the latest versions TWRP and SuperSU/Magisk. But the general method in the guide is still relevant.
Whether you root by SuperSU or Magisk is a personal choice. Read up on the differences, and make your decision. SuperSU is what most folks already know. But Magisk has some really cool benefits and features over SuperSU. I've personally been preferring Magisk lately. But it's by no means the only choice, or best choice for everyone.
Also, highly recommend you know how to return to stock or recover, if anything goes wrong (good advice before trying to mod any Android device). One way is using a full update zip: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-4-mm-ota-update-t3519074
And as typical, it's highly recommended to make a TWRP backup of your stock ROM, once TWRP is installed, and before you make any mods like custom ROM or root. Which will give you another way to revert to the stock ROM, if you ever have the need.
It's obvious that the OP never dealt in the past with Root etc.
So, the first thing I would advise is start with a good understanding of what Rooting is offering in general, which has nothing to do specifically with 3T.
All devices can be rooted, so the real question is if the OP didn't care to have it in the past, what changed now?

Well, Root doesn't affect GPS or Camera and in any case, these kind of issues shouldn't affect the majority of users.

As I've already touched upon, your original post makes it impossible to tell your level of experience, either way. When asking such questions, it's best to be specific, give details (what you're looking to do, what your experience is, etc.)

GPS problem seems mostly on OOS 4.1.7 and 4.5.0 (4.5.1 also, it seems). And not for everyone. At some locations, the AGPS data is outdated, and leading to long waits for the GPS to achieve a lock. So depending on your location, or if your OOS version is not updated, you might not see an issue. Consider yourself lucky, and don't go looking for a problem, if it doesn't exist!
Not sure of the specific camera problem you are referring to. Some folks have complained about blurry photos in low light, with moving subjects. If that is what you are talking about, again if you don't have an issue, don't worry about it. It's not really a "bug" in my opinion. It's in line with the performance of other smartphones. Just not as good at focus (again, specifically in low light with moving subjects) as some other phones, particularly the expensive flagships like Galaxy S8 or iPhone. But you can't expect the 3T to meet all the same technical capabilities of phones that cost about double! Also, the focus in these conditions seems a bit better on the more recent OOS updates. So again, depending on what version you are on, as well as the conditions you are taking photos, and what your expectations are; the camera may not be an issue.

I agree, but with one exception. I'm using rrZenity, and i find it extremely stable on my 3t. Even more so than the official. And possibly even more so than the beautiful Sultanized rr's latest build by DroidFreak32. Plus it comes with fully functional gcam(even slowmo with all settings working perfect), adaway, wakeblock, etc. And I'm using the franco los kernel, but the built-in kernel is really good too. I'm honestly waiting for a stable RR Oreo, or oos, but thks works superbly for now. And a stable Magisk for Oreo. With Resurrection Remix, i just feel like the phone is all mine, really mine, to customize and use however I want. Just my opinion

Know what TWRP is, a good understanding of how to use it, and what a Nandroid is. I'm no pro, but I hardbricked my phone, as a noob, and it'll scare the sht out of you. There are two brick lifesavers that you must have a pc or laptop to use, and I can provide you links via request.
Now I can flash away with no worries. Not because of the unbrick tools, but twrp will save your a*s over and over again IF you know how to use it.
And donate donate donate. Developers work hard to enable us to have fun and "play" with our phones. And they spend a lot of time doing it. When you download, flash, love a rom or kernel, mod you find...donate. This enables these developers to continue work and make improvements. I find it all fascinating and fun. And xda is probably my new best friend. Ask questions when necessary, but before you do READ READ READ
Sorry @JarJarWinks, this post was not aimed at you. Just wanted to use your quote hoping the kid who op'd it would find it useful.

If you're saying that rrZenity is better than the sultanized one, then I'll definitely have to try it and of course, franco kernel does give great battery life.
Downloading now! :good:

I used zenity. Then droidfreak32 put out build that was better, smoother, less issues. Latest builds, I found right the opposite. Zenity 10-01 running so smoothly, Sultanized had a couple of issues for me even though it's newer. Like I said, either one of those guys put out an oreo build I'm on it, cuz I trust both their builds. Hope you enjoy!

Magisk has a built-in SU binary, so yes.

Well got this BIG OREO update, im on SEB baltic. Didn't get any big improvements. This is my first phone that i haven't rooted it yet. So the question is after oreo, does it worth to root it and install other rom's that is based on samsung oreo or aosp? What are the benefits? battery life or camera or the performance.. thanks guys.. i know this question has been asked for couple of times, but many changes became after few stock updates.
Now that samsung pay works in my country, I think that it will be more useful to me not to root, I rooted my previous devices to block ads, install viper, and make some ui visual mods, I am using adguard and works really fine for me, as for visual mods, now there are ways to more or less accomplish them without root, what I really miss is viper4A
I've always rooted but this time I'm not going to ... Samsung pay on my S3 frontier is very handy and I don't want to lose that
IMO & at this time, for me personally, no not worth it. I'm rooted, always have been since I've been running Android phones. But nothing on 8.0 Oreo is worth it to me. In fact there are more things I hate about it than on Nougat as well as imcompatibilites. I'm happy to be back on Nougat now.
I've rooted every phone I've had with the exception of the Note 7, S8+ and the Note 8. Just feel that all the great features and being able to use substratum without root far out weigh rooting for the time being.
Back in the early days of Android, most rooted for themes. I don't root for themeing. Custom recovery is essential for me too. Root without custom recovery is not worth it to me which is why I didn't buy a Snapdragon. I root mainly for system mods, apps that require root, & to enable csc features that you wouldn't be able to wiithout root. Flashing mods, roms, custom kernels, & being able to make backups is very important to me. I do run custom roms but they are the most basic ones or just simply debloated. Themes, I just run a theme from the Samung theme store which doesn't even require root. I personally don't care for Samsung Pay, never will use it. Secure folder also, I do miss private mode but I can live without. I can always use Android Pay if I really wanted to but that won't happen.
Hello everyone, I have a strong doubt. If you installed in a custom ROM (complete with a custom kernel), the magisk LKT module (with various kernel kits for the battery or performance); somehow the kernel would be compromised? Ie it's better with a custom kernel, do not install this module or install it anyway? Thanks to those who will answer
You asked like this, no one answered you. The developer made up the module to increase everyone's performance. The right one for you to choose is just that.
I have seen that the Developer has had mention, that it will work on "Any" Kernel !
With that said, I have and do use this, although, it has not been long. Trying to see, "IF" it helps or hurts the custom kernel .
I will say, that, if there is anything bad, I will test again without a modded kernel...
Guess is short, give it a try, it may help.. may not, can always uninstall and reboot...
I am using oxygen kernel on j7 2016 and lkt is working fine.
Tested LKT onGoogle Pixel with Franco Kernel and King Kernel, so far so good on balanced profile.
One time started lagging as hell on a version of King Kernel even with performance profile, I think because of some kernel features related to battery saving or boot tweaks, as far as I know they can conflict.
seems become slow or laggy. i dont know if this is the cause. i played mobile legend in the previous version my ping is 20-40ms after i installed the update in became 120ms-180ms.. So i try to uninstall the latest version.. Reboot then install previous version reboot played mobile legend and it goes back to 20-40ms ping.
