Bliss, carbon and resurrection is all cm based and aint chinese in any way (correct me if im wrong) so you might want to split those up into its own section perhaps? (just to clarify the confusion for some) Zui, flyme and lewa on the other hand is chinese all the way

It's not about whether the ROM developers are Chinese or not but rather the device tree author / builder / porter.

Hm ok, never thought any of those had chinese "influence" or however you describe it. Not that it matters for me though but just another one of those unnecessary facts. You learn something every day as they say :good:
Sorry for the slight semi offtopic-ness

@grengo Thanks for bring this roms here , which rom you prefer ?

Anyone tried any ROM?

I tried resurrection rom. it's good.

Hi
How is the resurrection ROM mobile signal,GPS, finger print??? Did you feel it's better than Cynogen??

I'm not feeling any different, GPS not tested.
rom more customization..
I will keep two days after that I'll try carbon rom

Now with a twrp image of zui, I gave it a whirl and my impressions are its quite nice, camera app is good, overall speed and responsiveness is awesome and better than COS. It needs some adjustments here n there but im gonna try and make a tweaked rom out of it without chinese apps and integrate google apps. Had problem with capacitive buttons being disabled and it was only the fingerprint button that worked with swiping, touch and push. Would like to know how to enable those. Wifi wasnt working either for me but I guess you need to flash the whole zui factory image first with qpst for it to work unless someone else has an idea?
I gave lewa OS a try aswell after this but wasnt anything for me, that was just cm12 + a skin ontop basicly so naturally wifi worked since I was originally coming from C.OS

@tndb Wifi is working for me i don't know why it is not working for U...
for on screen button you can edit build.prop file by adding some lines (Google it)
For play store on ZUI download below Play store apk, then open Youtube app it will ask for Google play services download these services..

Hey and thanks for your notes. I still cant get wifi working, tried reflashing but nothing, have you just flashed zui through twrp coming from Cyanogen without flashing zui through qpst first?
Regarding the capacitive buttons, they wont work either. Tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop and also ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0 to see if the leds would turn on but they are not working at all. Its only the middle button working.
Ive made a tweaked rom out of the zui twrp package you posted where ive removed a bunch of china apps, changed default language to english and country to US, replaced default launcher with nova launcher, integrated google play, ive also replaced the built-in recovery with breadcrust twrp.
If I could just find out why WIFI aint turning on, the toggle is deactivated and when I press it, its not moving at all. If I restore my twrp Cyanogen OS backup then wifi works just fine again but not at all on Zui. Ive seen this on other phone models when they didnt have the correct modem for example but not sure where id get a suitable one for that (if this even is the problem) and manage to activate the capacitive buttons would also be of great help

Ok had some time over this night and found a solution to get wifi working in zui. Downloaded qpst and flashed zui the official way removing all data on phone and getting all stock factory stuff in there.
Perhaps its the modem file which is the problem? Not sure how to just flash that one separately to find the cause of this issue but could be worth a try

Hi, is the fingerprint sensor working nicely with these roms?

How is the battery life on los 15.1??

Its good

Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 is very stable & as far as I'm concern, also bug-free.
To get better battery life, root it Magisk then install Greenify and Root Master (choose Battery mode).
Currently I'm using Pixel Launcher 3 instead of Trebuchet launcher from RR.
Status: Finish full charge on 7am, bring to work, connect to office Wi-Fi, back home at 6pm (also connect to Wifi), battery is still 48-51% remaining.

Does Resurrection need to wipe internal storage coming from Miui 9 Xiaomi.eu or I can flash it with simple system/data wipe? 120 GB of data is a bit annoying to be moved somewhere else.

Based on my experience moving from MIUI 8 Global Stable to Paranoid 7.2.1, it's not necessary to wipe the internal storage. Just make sure you have the right version of TWRP installed and flashed the most compatible fw version with the ROM you want to flash. As for RR, I use the capricornCNFirmware-7.11.16. Google it for the download link. Happy flashing...

A thing that I really want to know is: I'm moving to an AOSP ROM because Miui 9 system block some apps to properly working, so I want try on another ROM and I want root it,
1) can I go with SuperSU zip as usual or there are better alternatives?
And a very interesting thing I want know is
2) how does camera work? Is it good?
3) if I want apply camera mod to enable 1080p 60 FPS recording, does it work? Never tried?

If you currently use MIUI 9, make sure you unlock the bootloader first to be able to change the bootloader to TWRP. Only after successful install of TWRP you can begin flashing the custom ROM of your choice.
1) As for rooting, I use Magisk (install the zip via TWRP). Magisk comes with handy apps for you to download many interesting add-on module, such as Viper4 music equalizer, Google Product Sans font, Greenify, etc.
2) You can install gcam or even a ported Mi A1 camera apk. Browse through this XDA Xiaomi Mi5 forum. Plenty of information here
3) Sorry. Never tried this. Maybe anybody else can help?

It have that option sometimes its not functioning

60fps can be forced in some 3rd party camera apps(Google camera mods for instance) via modifying a system file, but the effect is actually the opposite. 30fps videos get about 22fps and 60fps gets 24fps. As far as i know it's IMPOSSIBLE to really record 1080p 60fps with Mi5. Probably some hardware limitation, otherwise it would be enabled by default, there have been many official updates since release.

Oh no it is possible to record in 1080p at 60 FPS infact OnePlus 3 with same hardware of Mi 5 already support this function since 2016 (shame on Xiaomi which still doesn't give us this possibility). But fortunately we have great independent developers who try to get us all features to our phone, infact on a forum some good devs were able to bring us recording in 1080p at 60 FPS. Check the Mi 5 mod section to find it and be able to use it.

Tried it, doesn't really work, I thought I made it work too. Read what I said... As far as I've read on all forums, nobody made it work, so it must be impossible. I can really love with it though.

Is there a Magisk module to remove all google apps and services?

I'm looking to get an Android phone but I don't want any google apps or services on it including the play store. Is there a Magisk module that can remove all the google apps and services and play store from a phone? I did a search for "remove google apps" and other such searches but could not find what I'm looking for. I see that the Aurora app store is an alternative play store. Is it safe to use?
Thank you for your advice!

Easiest would be to just flash a custom ROM and don't bother with installing Gapps. Voilà, free of Google apps and services.

Thank you for the reply. I agree but from my research I could not find custom ROMs available for the Pixel 3 that are officially supported and stable. Please recommend one if there is one that is officially supported and stable. If there is not I would like to know the steps after I root a phone to remove all the google apps and services.

https://f-droid.org/app/org.droidtr.deletegapps
But its very likely to experience bugs and problems (like force closes). The best option is to use a custom Rom
Or you can try the Nanodroid Module (to install microG), probably better than just remove GApps.
AuroraDroid/-store works as it should. I don't know what you mean by 'safe'.

Thank you for the reply. Ok I really would rather use a custom ROM. LineageOS to be precise but there is no official support for the Pixel 3. That's why I'm asking if there is a way, after rooting the phone, to remove all the google apps and services. You mentioned MicroG but does that actually remove all the google apps and services? I looked up MicroG and it looks to be for people who still want to use google apps and services but securely. I don't use anything google apps or services. There are some Microsoft apps I need for work so that's why I asked about Aurora. When I asked if Aurora is safe I meant does Aurora track or do anything unsecure.
Is there a LineageOS custom ROM that does work with the Pixel 3? If not then do I use MicroG to remove all the google stuff?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I've spent hours researching this stuff and there is so much info I read up on that I just need some clarity. Thanks for your patience.

To get rid of issues, uninstall any google apps you want systemlessly using Debloater ( Terminal Emulator ).

"Official" and "unofficial" are quite often just terms to clarify, if the builder is part of the dev-team and/or if the Rom/Code is reviewed by one of the dev-team. It is possible, that an unofficial Rom isn't working as good as an official would, but I experienced this quite rarely.
BUT: unofficials usually don't have the possibility to OTA update.
But in the end, "official" and "unofficial" doesn't have to mean much
So my tip: Install and try some Roms, unofficial ones too ^_^

MicroG is an open source and privacy focused Google Services Framework. Its goal is to let apps work, which rely on GApps. I suggested it to grant a bit more stability to your un-googled stock Rom. Because the GApps are most likely deep buried into your (Stock)System, which can lead to severe instability and crashes if you just forcibly rip them out.
At least that's my experience. I never had a usable system with a blank removal of GApps
On a custom Rom its not necessary, if all apps you use work without GApps

If you are in doubt (and able to) you can check its source code

I can try to check later. An "official" Lineage is quite unlikely, but maybe I find smth else
But yes, if you can't find a fitting Rom, you'll have to try with manually debloating/microG.
You can try to debloat your phone slowly with "Terminal Debloater" like someone already suggested.
One App/Service after another. If smth breaks, you can simply revert it, because this works systemless
No problem, just ask XDA is a forum and I'm here to help

Lineage is available for Pixel 3. It is unofficial, but built by someone on the Lineage team. Check the Pixel 3xl forum. Most custom roms are posted there, but are actually for both devices. The thing is, most custom roms for the device come with GAPPs included (Including Lineage), so not useful for you. This is getting OT though.

Thank you for the very detailed reply. Very helpful. I decided to get a Oneplus 7T and not a Pixel 3. I did research and found that most custom ROMs for the Oneplus 7T do not officially support Android 10 as well as MicroG and TWRP. The unofficial custom ROMs note that there are bugs and some instability currently. Being a newbie and needing my Oneplus 7T to be reliable as it's my only phone I rather have an officially supported LineageOS with MicroG custom ROM when it's released. Until then I need help figuring out the best method to remove all gapps and services. I don't use any google apps. I do use Microsoft apps so I need those to not only work but be able to send notifications. I also need to have location services work for a non-google maps app and weather app. I would like to keep Oxygen OS as it has some customizations features I like. Am I asking too much? Lol. However, since microG is not supported I don't think I can do what I'm looking for since MicroG removes all gapps and services and replaces them including location services ability and notifications. Does Magisk have a module that can do what I'm looking for?

You'll likely find better help in the OP7T forums:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t
There is a debloater module you could use for this purpose, you'll find it on the Manager downloads section. Keep in mind that anything you do with a Magisk module is a systemless modification and the files will still be on your device (just masked by Magisk) and will return if you every disable/uninstall the module or remove Magisk. If you want a more permanent solution you'll need to use other means.

The "Manager downloads" is in the Magisk Manager, the app.
What I meant was that it will likely be easier for you to find help with debloating the device in its own forum.

Question Best GApps found?

I've noticed GApps have been very strange on these Android 11 ROMs.
NikG apps, my usual, does not install on DotOS, arrowOS, or Cherish. I have been using flamegapps instead which is good, but wondering if any alternatives are available?

I'm on Lineage and Sakura and use BitGapps with no issues. Never tried the OS you mention above.

In my opinion, Nikgapps may have some issues with some ROMs. Opengapps (still in beta) are worked fine for me, though I don't use them. I prefer Flamegapps basic, which always work for me without any issues for the ROM I test/flash.
Cheers!

- the only gapps that always works for me are old Bitgapps with R19 tag
- Nikgapps usually works also, but they're also installing survival script, which is most of the time not working and disrupt any OTA update I tried
- Flame gapps are good, but even basic version install unnecessary part called digital wellbeing (which can be installed from Play store) and that's why I don't using them...

Nikgapps works perfectly on cherish but you have to uncomment some line at the top of the installer script, so that it installs in the right partition. Could check when I'm in front of the computer, tell me if you don't find it.

I did not know that Nikgapps needed some uncomment/edit to flash/work.
At the same time, when Flamegapps can be installed without any edit/uncomment, why one should flash Nikgapps? What advantages Nikgapps have when compared to Flamegapps? If anyone can tell this.
Flamegapps basic = no nonsense gapps.

You have to edit the installer script anyway if you want to keep the aosp dialer so no extra effort, and more importantly (for me) Android Auto will only work with nikgapps

There's no dedicated thread for it here on xda forums. Apparently it's on omnirom's website and regularly maintained as well.
Those who have tried it please post how it compares to other roms. Thanks.

I used it for face unlock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/11-universalauth-face-unlock-for-all-roms.4419343/

What's about battery backup and stability?
Full gestures without lagging?
Extended gestures like long swipe to kill app in foreground...present?
Thanks in advance

I can't say anything yet. I only flashed OMNI yesterday evening and today the faulty update came.

yes

no

I wrote to the maintainer. Firmware 12.5 is fine. face unlock will not come as it was removed from AOSP.
I'll get a test build later. I don't know if it's already 12.1/L.

@morpheus620 hey can you please check which device's fingerprint this rom uses if you get a chance? thanks.

like which fingerprint?
the one in the power button. Which one else?

For what you need to know?
You mean fingerprint in build.prop?

yes. Most roms use fingerprint from pixel devices to pass safetynet so I was wondering if it's the same in this case as well

I'm running omnirom right now, the latest Android 13 MicroG version:
omni-13-202305201702-sweet-MICROG
The instructions don't specify which MIUI kernel to use. I'm currently using 14.0.2.0 (android 13). I also tried 13.0.16.0 (android 12), and briefly 12.5.9.0 (android 11) -- all with separate clean installs. They all seemed to work.
It is bare-bones, without many included apps, which is fine. It has a phone dialer, messaging, and contacts app. They look like they have been somewhat updated vs. the really old AOSP versions. It boots up right away after installing, without any setup.
The MicroG safetynet test always fails with "integrity check failed" -- whether magisk is installed or not. It doesn't have an issue with the CTS profile, though.
I've tried the safetynet-fix modules, v2.4.0 and v2.3.1, both the original and MOD versions, but they didn't help. I've also tried HidePropsConf, but it also didn't help (I think that's mainly for CTS profile issues, anyway, which this doesn't have).
My banking app is still working despite that, but it's too bad it won't pass. On /e/ OS I can get it to pass, using safetynet-fix v2.4.0 (original) and HidePropsConf.
Wireguard VPN works, but "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" don't work properly. This is also the case for some versions of LineageOS and for /e/ OS. So you have to leave those settings off.
All of the cameras/lenses are available to Camera2 API and working in Open Camera. They are also available in /e/ OS. Many of the new LineageOS builds only have Camera2 API access to the main front and back cameras, so they're not suitable for me.
It does allow for partial and extended screenshots, but there's no swipe gesture to do screenshots.
It is fast charging with my phone's bq2597x charger.
It is using the JARVIS kernel, dated May 20. The rom has weekly updates, but I'm not sure if it's a new kernel version, or if it just gets rebuilt as part of the update.
I ran /e/ OS for awhile before this. It is also good, but it's Android 12, and not as up to date.
