Now that we have TA backup/restore, I'm currently working through that process and thinking about ROMs.
Do any of the ROMs that are currently available have some sort of ambient display built in? I miss this feature most and have been using an app to mimic it but would prefer it built into the system.

Camera quality is a bit low for custom ROMs though
Also quick camera button doesnt work when phone is locked
So I'm back to stock

LineageOS latest beta is working fine for me. Camera quality is good enough for me.

Most stable custom rom

I'm flashing rom for the first time I have unlocked the bootloader my device is rooted.
I have been reading posts
RR seems the most stable with oos cam included and it doesn't have pocket mode which can lead to faster battery drain.
So can you guys suggest me any rom which is as stable as oos and good camera quality (not working of camera, quality of the picture processed)
May this thread helps others too :fingers-crossed:
Thanks
Nothing has camera as good as stock, so if camera is important to you, stick with stock based ROMs (official OOS, FreedomOS, OP3Lite ...)
That port that is available for RR still has some issues.
Maybe try Paranoid Android, it may have some magic that other ROMs don't due to developers involved. It's supposed to have camera on pair with OOS, but I haven't tried it yet so I can't confirm (and for some reason people don't really talk much about PA). It has all other features of OOS.
But I'd suggest sticking with OOS based ROMs until OnePlus releases camera sources.

If the camera is a non issue than Slim Roms is the best. Fast not cluttered with useless features. But honestly OnePlus has it down with 3.2.7. had my doubts but the have created a ROM that is up there with P.A and Slim.
For me nucleaRom is the best and bug free ROM and you will have the OOS camera

I think the developer has stopped the development for this rom
Resurrection Remix Black Jubel is very stable in my opinion......and it has tons of customization and Accepts the OOS Camera Port so you can get identical Camera quality to stock.

I'm using FreedomOS with blu_spark kernel at the moment, but I'll probably try Paranoid over coming weekend.
To be honest, OOS is actually a pretty good ROM. With Xposed framework it has everything I need.

Hmm...yes 3.2.7 is nice but you can't really compare it to custom ROMs. It's great for its intended purpose (stability and compatibility) but it doesn't have the customization that custom ROMs have...obviously. It depends on what is most important to you.
I'm using OOS 3.2.6 with latest blu spark kernel and I'm getting really good screen on times, like 10-15℅ drain per hour. I also have Xposed installed but I'm only using greenify with it. Imho OOS is just as good as any other ROM, and I have just about tried every other ROM and kernel combination with the exception of the new nougat releases. There are only a few extra options available in the custom ROMs in comparison to OOS and they are mostly cosmetic. I reckon wait till some stable nougat builds have been released and then we might see some improvements. There is also no need to even install freedomOS or OSlite because you can debloat the ROM yourself and learn something while you are at it. Just go to the OSlite page and check the debloat list and then remove the stuff yourself with Titanium Backup. For me it's more fun when I have tweaked the ROM myself, and I guess for others also otherwise we wouldn't even have so many custom ROMs. I have researched the living bejesus out of this phone and I am happy to share my accumulated knowledge with anyone that needs help.
Hi all,
Is there any custom ROM with pocket mode.? I have tried cm13 and RR, but no pocket mode

Paranoid rom has pocket mode I guess..
I haven't tried the rom but I have seen a tutorial on YouTube
I suggest you try h2os v2.0 5th edition. It has the best battery life, even better than pa rom. I still have 93% of battery after browsing the web using wifi for more than 1 hour. It is very smooth as well during gaming, no lags at all.

what do you mean exactly?

FreedomOS or Resurrection Remix

I'm a new 3T owner who got my phone just a few days ago (came from a Nexus 6P). I decided to load the FreedomOS rom initially because I was curious about OOS. Overall, I'm fairly content, but a few of my apps haven't worked correctly (e.g. Accubattery and Xfinity WiFi). I was curious about Resurrection Remix which, I believe, is based on Lineage.
I'm a bit apprehensive about loading a Lineage-based ROM primarily because I think I read something about Lineage not supporting some of the 3t's features (fast charging?). But after searching I can't find the thread I thought I read those warnings....so maybe I imagined it? Can anybody provide any clarity on if that's even an issue?
I'd also like some feedback from folks who have run the official RR Rom. Any downsides? Any benefits over FreedomOS? And the same question to FreedomOS users who have used RR...any feedback on why you prefer FOS over RR?
i'm on freedom rom right now wiht xceed kernel, loving it, i woudn't do AOSP or LOS based roms because you'll loose the camera functionality and manual mode

Do all Lineage-based ROMs (for the 3t) not have camera? What do you mean by "manual mode?"

They have, but no other ROM will have the same quality than OOS-based ROMs.
You can try this ported stock camera if you are using LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721
Remember to flash "HAL1 Enabler for LOS(and based on it): LineageOS" also from the same page.
Not sure which things are working and which aren't, some says that 1080p 60fps videos are not, but atleast I was able to take the video with that ported camera app, not sure was the outcome really 60fps.
Can't test any more of it for now, went back to H2OS 7.1.1 beta

yeah basicaly non OOS roms won't have the same camera quality in terms of processing and features.
Camera blobs are out and there are some ports but non function similarly to how the camera functions on OOS

What do you like about H2OS? Is it difficult to get gapps working properly? How about other launchers? Any issues for an English-speaker US-based user?

I dirty flashed it over OOS 4.03, everything seems to work fine, since Google apps were already there. I'm using Nova Launcher myself, can't spot any difference except language, since I was using finnish before, but there is english of course to choose.
Remember to take backup with TWRP if possible before flashing it easier to go back if you don't like it or something goes bad.
Edit.. seems that OOS 7.1.1 open beta 3 is here! http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_openbeta_3/
Well, if you really want 7.1.1 for OOS, you can just flash their Beta released today.
I'd say you should go for FreedomOS for now. All of the LineageOS and AOSP based roms have a buggy camera due to the buggy Camera HAL3. Only the ROMs based on OOS have a fully functional camera. You can also try out the OOS Open Beta 3 released earlier today, its based on 7.1.1

In fact, Hydrogen OS has gapps, just disabled. Install play store directly should be okay.

Yeah, I think I'll probably stay put on FreedomOS unless I discover another OOS-based ROM with a dedicated dev. Resurrection Remix looks nice, but a buggy camera would be unacceptable for me.
I really appreciate all the feedback/advice. I'm not a newb, but am new to this handset so I really appreciate all the info you've shared.

It's not my daily driver right now, but I've flashed it earlier, so I would say it's really good
Performance is smooth and fast, any bugs (so far), camera is fine, nearly compared to OxygenOS
I like a big amount of customizations the most ^^

Just unlocked my H811, confused which rom, Stock vs other custom Nougat? RAW camera?

im abit confused as there are so many roms listed in the t-mobile section AND the general lg g4 section which ALSO seems to be for H811?
I'm mainly looking into the most stable, fastest rom that has the best RAW camera support. And I understand that if I were to stick with stock based roms (eg. Imperium) that would be best, but at the same time it is not nougat. And if I want Nougat, I can go with Lineage OS or Dirty Unicorns, however would they lose RAW camera support (how is the quality?).
Thanks!

thats prety much it you got it all down.
but i think i heard that lightroom mobile camera has raw / also check for proshot camera see if it takes waw pics. search for stock CM picture quality i posted a pic with stock based and dirty unicorns somewhere.
I don't think the problem is with Nougat; instead the problem is with using a camera app that doesn't use the Camera2 API. I just tried taking some RAW shots with Open Camera on Lineage 14.1 and it seems to work fine.

How did you unlock?
If you want that camera quality you'll have to choose a lg based rom
Try freedom or despacito...I think only they are only nougat lg ROMs.... Rest will be marshmelllow lg based
Yes any other custom ROM camera quality won't be as good

[Q] What is a good daily driver?

Decent amount of customization
Good battery life
Stable
No bugs
Thinking of trying Zenity RR again, any good roms that have these features ^^
AOSPA
OOS (nougat since Oreo has some bugs rn)
Sultan's lineage 14.1
And I used legend ROM for a while which is pretty stable.
You cannot achieve all the qualities in a single ROM. You will see decent amount of customization in resurrection remix ROM but you will not have camera quality as close to oxygen OS. You can try Sultan CM 14.1 for good camera but you will have less customization. Hence
The solution to your problem is that you must use stock rooted ROM with msgisk and various mods and change kernel for best battery life.
OOS 4.5 with Magisk and Boeffla kernel

Decide your priority first. For me I cannot ignore the best camera quality found in stock OOS as I have flashed and used almost every ROM for oneplus 3t and tested the camera quality. Sultan CM 14.1 and paranoid do the job well but not as good as oxygen OS especially in low light.
If customization is your priority, then go for resurrection remix based ROM like zenity OS.

Hi, first thank you very much for provinding custom roms for our beloved Tab S2 "8. I was thinking about trying your rom (i use T715 model) but i'm unsure about what to flash. Do you advice me Lineage OS (normal) or Resurrection Remix? Personally, i care about stability, performance and compatibility (sensors working, most fingerprint). OMS support is good but not so necessary to me. Hope you can help me =)

Just like lineage os, the fingerprint isn't fully working. Made a clean install (like i did with LOS) and everything seems to work fine apart fingerprint wich let me register an id, then it works 1/10 on lockscreen or other apps. It seems that the fingerprint services got stopped or killed somehow by the sistem (or doze) idk.
