[ REQ | HELP ] Need Advice on ROMs, How to Proceed - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I'm using an older ROM that hasn't been updated in a long time and I want to get into a new ROM. I'm not sure what ROMs are good. I go to the ROM list and nothing seems updated. Maybe the list is not complete.
I'm looking for something that is as close to CM as possible, will allow root, and will allow xposed. I'd like something that has a good set of instructions too. I know some ROMs require firmware flashes and all sorts of other activities. I'm not even sure when I last flashed my firmware.
Any advice?
-----
UPDATE: So I updated my OxygenOS to the latest version to get the new firmware since one of the ROMs returned error 7. It's working now and I'm just trying ROMs. I'd still like some advice on what you guys think is good.

There is already a whole long thread discussing ROM recommendations. It's "sticky" on the top of this forum section. Please read that thread, or if needed post to that thread. New "best ROM" threads aren't needed.

Here are all Pie Roms for our device listed:

All are good with more or less special customizing.
If CM was your favorite rom, then take LineageOS 16.0 for OnePlus 3/3T...

Okay....how do I make this work

After browsing through most the mods, hacks and updates.....I have know idea which Custom ROM works the best and had a few ideas....
at first i wanted to run these mods....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
then I visited the ROM page and felt like all of them were good upgrades from the stock wing...
so heres my question....If i want to get a ROM do they come with the mods in the link above meaning I'm good
I realize the risk of flashing, should I do it on my refurbished (factory) phone?
And which ROM is the sleekest and stable of all of them
thanks for looking

well.. to cook your own ROM, there are some utils and post... use the SEARCH button and the correct words to get your task done
- You can flash your device safe, but you have to read advices to avoid bricked devices (for example, you cant flash anything in a 1.xx.xxxx device)
- stable and sleek ROM, you'll have to try by yourself

I'm Building a ROM...but I have a problem!

Hi Guys!
I'm what you guys call "the new kid who want's to play". I have various experience in Android flashing and updating, but I still have none kind of experience in building a Custom ROM.
But I said: What the hell! Let's try it! So I took a quick lesson at Nokia7Vista's tutorial on Youtube. I don't know if I can post links, but you can find it if you want to.
Anyway, My first ROM booted, and was based on the contents of Deodexed JW1. It has only some apps included, so no big deal here. But I wanted some experience before I get to the real thing.
OK, so I finished that, and I got to the real business:
I've started searching some of the best Custom ROM's out there. I found OserX's One, GalaxyDroid and S.U.R.F.A.C.E to meet my likes. I inspired myself from there (downloaded the 3) and took some apps, system tweaks, etc from them. OserX is JVZ, the other 2 are JW1. My ROM Was based on JW1 and was Odexed (like OserX and Surface). From what I know, JVZ and JW1 are pretty much the same ROM. Still, I didn't took anything from there but apps.
I've changed my drivers to the Nexus S drivers, and the framework-res.apk to get a CRT-on/off effect (Downloaded from this site, it's for JW1).
Basically, I did some mod's that everyone has did before. Still, when I flash the ROM, it get's stuck at the Galaxy S LOGO, (not bootanimation).
What should I do? What can be the cause of this?
Thanks...
Still no answer...
Now I understand the n00bs that post in the Development Section. Here no one f(^&&^5ing listen...
And I am no N00b, I'm just new to Custom ROM's ...I've posted to the right section, and still...no answer after a couple of days! That sucks!
Try sending a pm to one of those developers.
I've never created a Android ROM (although I used to on WM6.5).
The biggest advice that I can give to you is to go slow: Try to create a ROM in small steps - one change at a time. Very ften you'll find out that two apps supposedly working ok are incompatible with each other. The same applies to drivers and changes alike. So, if version 0.01 works and 0.02 don't, it's just a matter of see what's changed and try to figure why that change caused the new ROM to stop working.
I also agree with Valinorian - try PM experienced developers - we all walked that path already. But please: one change at a time.

Need help understanding Kernels and ROMs

Hello Forum,
I am very new to rooting devices and installing custom ROMs.
I have a few questions I would like to ask, I searched the forum and couldn't find appropriate answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 (This being one of the threads)
I was going through the sticky thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Which says, "WARNING: Do NOT use CM9, Asylum CM9 or AniDroid kernels as drivers on ANY CM10 based Rom - and vice-versa!"
I had recently flashed CM9.1 on my galaxy note GT-N7000, by following the instructions mentioned on their wiki page.
Just installed clock work recovery, entered the recovery mode, did a WIPE & installed CM9.1 & google apps.
After a few days I followed the same procedure and flashed CM10's latest preview. It went well and everything seems to be working, except that
the phone is a tad bit laggy and doesn't really deliver what JB is supposed to deliver. Sometime the power button won't wake the screen up.
This can be because CM10 is still in preview stage and the stable release is not out. But now that thread I mentioned before kind of bothers me.
Do I need to update the kernel while switching from CM9 to CM10? Downloads are available in the same thread. Or does the kernel update on its own while flashing CM10? And if I have to update the kernel do I need to have CF-Root? Does the fact that I have clock work recovery on my device mean that I have CF-Root?
Sorry if my question is too noob-ish, I just wan't to know a little theory behind what I'm doing so I don't screw my device. None of the threads that I found in the search explain things simply. I would be really glad if anyone of you could help me just understand things. I really appreciate this community for having put up so much information, thanks in advance!

[Q] Some Doubts about Installing official ICS rom when it's released

So Right now i am using paranoid android CM9 rom, Can some one post me link or tell me how to update it directly from PC.
1. Do i have to go back to stock lg firmware to install ICS
2. Do i have to change the partition From Ext4 to Ext3
Too eager to try as soon as it releases, so posting it well in early PLEASE HELP!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Maybe I'm not dedicated enough to complete my search through thousands of posts, but his question yields such vague results, as every keyword is relevant to at least one other topic in this entire forum. /hyperbole
So instead of blowing this post off as a noob/troll thread (This IS effectively the noob forum ) I shall offer my suggestion.
To be on the safe side, if the update is OTA, one could use nvflash to restore a stock ROM. This solves any potential ext3 problems, too.
If a community member releases (or otherwise links to) a downloadable, flashable package, they will most likely include their own instructions, guidelines, and recommendations.
With the exception of the months-belated leak, and the anticipated release of kernel sources, there isn't anything to suggest an official update is even arriving, but I have no idea, and it really isn't my place to be passing judgement.

Thanx Mate !!! Much appreciated.
What an anxious mind!
Be in the present time, not in hypothetical future!
When Roms will be available all instructions will come within.

My suggestion is: wait until the sources of the official stock rom have been merged to CM 9 / CM10.
Right now "only" the HWA is missing in CM9. Some rumors also say that the bootloader included in the stock
might be locked....
I think you stay with your custom rom and wait until this is updated or changeto a different custom rom.

Ah, these guys said it better. With something so looked forward to, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a guide to get the updated goodness on your phone as soon as builds get uploaded.

Bugs in JellyBlast 3.0.3 for S5570i

Hi, I just installed the JellyBlast 3.0.3 rom for my Galaxy Pop Plus with the Cor Plenus Kernel 2.1.5 yesterday, and I must say it's a great rom. It's pretty and boots faster than a fresh install of a stock rom. I couldn't help but notice there seem to be some bugs though that don't seem to be reported in the dev thread, so I was wondering if it was just me, or are these actual issues:
1. Some settings don't take effect properly until restart
This happens for things like enabling a keyboard, or allowing installation of non-Market apps. Also, the wifi seems to turn on properly, but it doesn't seem like the apps can detect or use it properly until a restart is done. This isn't a rom breaking issue, but it's an annoying one for a rom that works quite well.
2. The QuickPanel Settings crashes the settings "app".
Every time I try to access the QuickPanel Settings, the entire setting "app" crashes, so I haven't been able to look at those settings at all. This seems to be quite a major bug, though it hasn't really affected the way I use the rom yet.
I hope someone can enlighten me on whether these 2 issues are actual issues, or otherwise. Thanks.
write same words in dev thread
I would have posted this inside the dev thread, unfortunately, I've yet to hit the 10 post requirement to post in the dev thread, and thus I had no choice but to post it here.

Im about tot flash this rom but out of thhe blue I saw this thread and make me a halt to flash this rom.
It's a good rom regardless of the bugs. They're annoying to be sure, but nothing really deal breaking. I would have preferred a more stable rom with less bugs, but given the lack of custom roms for the 5570i, this seems to be the best out there. Given a choice between this and stock, I'll take this rom every time. The bugs shouldn't stop you from flashing and trying it out. In any case, you can always do a nandroid backup before flashing so you can go back to your previous rom if you like.
the Arabic support
I tried to install the ataboc file from cwm but the installation aborted... Please help there is alot of featire I cant use :crying:
