Does LineageOS miss any significant features compared to OOS?

I want to do factory reset because of android system using too much battery and just thought of trying lineageos since I'm wiping everything anyways.
I know camera quality is worse and live display isn't as good as night mode, but is there anything else?
Sultanxda's Lineage OS has almost the same camera quality as Oxygen OS.
Not much, and still you can get away with less battery usage ? unless you're using some power hefty apps or try to many energy saving things which will cause the opposite.
Also camera quality issues can be solved by using either Sultans camera mod (available as recovery zip file) or CameraNX which I use.
And I don't see whats so much better with OOS night mode. LOS is quite customizable when it comes to color temperature.

can you provide this camera you are talking about? I have tried RR but left because of the HORRIBLE camera. The paranoid camera didn't impress me either. I find OOS's to be much superior
Use sultanxda version of Lineage OS, not only camera app.
I use Sultans marshmallow. It's the bees knees

I can assume you're talking about this one? Looks like the last update was June 15 which in most cases means a good thing!! If it ain't broke don't fix it!! :highfive:

On the contrary, the latest version has battery idle drain problems.Apart from this problem, this is almost the perfect ROM
Thanks to multiboot, I made a lot of comparisons between OOS (betas and stables) and Lineage OS, and I can say that OOS is very stable, is more battery saving and is much more smooth.
On the contrary, LOS is more customisable, but for me one feature is missing in LOS roms: the possibility to have a different ringtone for each SIM.
The one thing I find to be incredibly annoying is that there is no way to disable the heads-up notifications from appearing on the screen when you are using the phone on OOS. There is no 'mid' priority mode in the app notification settings that you can set which allows sound/vibration and the icon in the status bar but disables the interruption. There is also no status bar shortcut for quickly enabling and disabling the headsup notifications in OOS. But this feature can be found in LineageOS and I miss it the most.

I was wondering about that.. I flashed it on a full charge and I'm at 87% with no usage at all. Flashed and sat.. was going to get everthing set up but I'm concerned if I even should at this point. That's a lot of drain after doing this while plugged in ... in my experience anyway. I know LTE uses a lot of battery but after only about 2 hours off the charger and on Wifi, that's odd to me. Hmmmm...

Did you try with Power notification control which is available within SystemUI tuner? (tuner can be enabled by long pressing on settings button in notification panel)

Wow thank you, I had no idea that existed. Why is a feature like that buried so deep though

Opinions: best rom (522)

Hi everybody , i have tried several roms for this device (x522), my main concern is front camera never works. In your opinion what is the best rom nougat or mm that is kind stable and has camera working 100%. I will appreciate your answers.
use MIUI 9..
CarbonROM.
It is most stable ROM based on 7.1 and most fast
XPerience is worst in my opinion: while Carbon had always about 1.5 GB RAM free, XPerience had only about 500 mb, it also works pretty slow, at least in PPSSPP
miui 9 sagar + kernel illusion = the best rom
LineageOS 14.1
For me, LineageOS is the most stable. Except for the camera, all works fine!
MIUI + custom kernel
Everything works fine, but I don't like the notification panel and the fact that we cannot expand the notifications like in AOSP (lockscreen, heads up, notification panel).
LOS 14.1 is the rom i am using now but the camera crashes all the time, i can never use the front camera no matter what app i try
How is the camera? (Main and front)
In your experience, any bugs with CarbonROM?
Both good as you know xiaomi beautify option is awesome i loved the front camera..
None, honestly. Sometimes camera doesnt work, but that is issue with every 7.x ROMs, but Carbon's camera is most stable, espicially if you use Footej Camera.
After using CarbonROM for a while, I understood that I would never use anything based on 6.x and lower: 7.x is much better in my everyday routine: espicially quick reply.
And MIUI which is for some reason is most recommended ROM here is worst on 6.0 in my opinion: it is buggy, it makes my phone overheat and I cant stand that DPI
Stock 21S is the best honestly until the camera problem gets fixed on the Lineage roms. Great battery life on stock and the recent apps button / toggle screen isnt bad when you get used to it and replace the launcher.
Los 13 with new security Level by Mr. Lakku
If you don't want sleeping big cores and don't want to root your phone to avoid that (miui, all los14 roms seemingly),
don't want camera problems (I just use footej normaly and sometimes open camera dro pictures, no in app cameras, so don't know about that), don't want a kernel to set your selinux to permissive or have an outdated google security level (custom kernel or stock eui)
then my friends:
MR LAKKUS LOS 13 IS THE ONLY PLACE TO BE
Im having volte issues....not stable...also footej cam fails sometimes....but it does hav manual mode

I always ran into some kind of errors/problems when trying to use Pixel Experience on my previous Moto G5 Plus - issues such as camera would crash sometimes, or, some things not working properly.
Are you really able to use the ROM with this (G5S Plus) and not having any crashing, missing features, or other problems when using for more than a couple weeks? If so, that's great news. I miss having a phone with PROBLEM FREE Custom ROMs (My Galaxy S3 usually had Custom ROMs available with ZERO problems).

PE 8.1 or 9.0?
When screen is off, does "CHOP CHOP" turn on flashlight as it should?
Does your screen change color at night? "Night Mode", less "blue light" for better sleeping if you look at your screen at night.
System UI Tuner is working fine?
These days I seem to be unable to find *ANY* ROM without multiple problems reported by users in the discussion threads - such a sad situation.
I am on STOCK, but, I really want to try this GCam 6.1 for "Night Sight", but stock ROM won't work because it's not 64 bits

Hi there, I tried MGC_6.1.021_Mido_Nightfix.apk and after taking a shot there is notification "Processing HDR+" that
never goes away even though the photo is ready to be viewed at the gallery. I'm also running PixelExperience Pie,
any recommendation as far of the most recent apk that works the best for the G5S Plus?

Netflix not full screen

Hi there when I try watch Netflix in full screen it shows a notch and doesn't zoom in all the way, I've tried going into full screen apps and changing it but Netflix is not there
+1
Instead of going into Full screen display, tap notch then custom. Any app you want to use the whole screen change to show notch instead of auto. I just tested Netflix and it works

Question for S20 FE owners using Prime Video and/or Plex

When using either app and using the app control to go full screen, does the video image extend past the camera cutout, all the way to the bezel?
I'm using the OnePlus 7T right now and neither of these apps will do that. There's a black bar hiding the camera notch. Netflix and YouTube do extend bezel to bezel because their developers are using the right Android API flag to do this.
I think that OnePlus developers do not implement the "show app in fullscreen" feature the same way the OneUI does. OnePlus support says it's up to the app developers, but I suspect that in OneUI and selecting to display an app in fullscreen, the OneUI layer doesn't actually tell the video app that there is a camera cutout, bypassing whatever flag app developers use. TLDR, can one answer my above question please? Thanks.
PLEX does not, but it does go right to the very edge of the camera, though if the video is cropped with black bars, it will be in further.
Prime video also just goes to the edge of the cutout. Unless I go into Android settings and force full screen for Prime. Then it goes all the way to the bezel. Plex does not appear to do that.
It appears there are multiple ways an app can go full screen because I have seen games that extend all the way to the bezel and others that just go to the edge of the cutout.
