[ROM] iHackers [MIUI v5], a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Contributors
iHackers, Sumedha Kapoor
ROM OS Version: 4.1.x Jelly Bean
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.x
Version Information
Status: Testing
Current Beta Version: v1.4
Beta Release Date: 2013-11-8
Created 2013-10-16
Last Updated 2013-12-14
Version Details:
Aroma Version:
Its the Big Daddy of all the other versions and the most ideal version to install for a person who knows what he is doing. It contains almost everything MIUI has to provide along with all the other Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes, Addons, Applications, Kernels, Recoveries, Mods, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps, Bloatware Removal Script etc. The main thing that makes the Aroma Version perfect is that everything in the Installer is optional for the user to install, He/She can either install everything or nothing for a clean install. It gives you complete freedom to configure the ROM and your Device exactly the way you like.
Stripped Version:
Stripped Version should be chosen by those who simply don't want to download the whole Aroma Package everytime a new version is released either because they have low download bandwidth or they are using Addons Pack to get the missing features from the Aroma Version. The Stripped Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Bootanimations, Fixes but one Kernel and No Glass Apps or other Google Apps. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. Its simply the Aroma Version without all the optional stuff in it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version or from any of the previous releases that he has already downloaded and can extract the apps from.
Minimal Version:
Minimal Version is a new version which has been specially optimized keeping the following things in consideration:
Lowest Possible Size
Battery Friendly
More and More Free RAM
All the Possible Bloatware Removed
No Additional Apps (Except the Most Required ones)
Optimized for best Performance, Speed and Smoothness
Etc ++
The Minimal Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Only one Kernel and Bootanimation, No Glass Apps and No Google Apps either. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version.
This Version is Ideal for those who like a very very clean Install and like to customize and add everything exactly What and How they want. The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of MIUI and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.
Addons Pack:
The Addons Pack has everything in the Aroma Version except the ROM itself. It is being provided for Stripped, Minimal and Official Versions because they do not have anything from Aroma Version included in them. So, In case if someone wants to install something from Aroma Version, He/She should use the Addons Pack and as its based on Aroma to, so naturally He/She will have all the options with what to install and what not. This Pack will not only work with my ROM, or any other MIUI ROM alone, it will work with all other ROMs too (Ofcourse, The ones that support the Included Kernels).

Notes:
This ROM is for Unlocked Bootloaders Only.
Work on This ROM is Currently In Progress, You will see further Improvements as the ROM moves in its further Development Stages. This ROM is originally built by MIUI China Team and All the credits go to them.
In Case You Face Proximity Sensor Issues, Follow these two steps. Step 1: Install and configure Proximity Sensor Calibration from Market. Step 2: Install and configure Tasker / Automateit Pro / Proximity Screen Off Pro. Let me know if you can't get the apps.
In Case You Face Brightness Issues, use Disable Auto Brightness or Velis AutoBrightness App.
In Case You are Unable to Install the ROM, Whether the Aroma Installer finishes in a flash back, or It does not start at all or Unable to Mount System or Data, Follow these Steps: Verify the MD5 Hash of your file with the one listed on the Version's Download Page and in case it does not match, Download a New File of your Desired Version. Then Copy it to External SD Card, Flash Philz Recovery and Flash the ROM using that recovery.
If Anyone Have Problems With WIFI Region Code, Download WifiManager, Install it and Give it Root Permissions.
Please Do Mention all the Bugs and the Problems you face During the Installation Process or after the ROM has been installed. This will help me to improve and make it better with next releases. I would also like to request you to share your experience after using this ROM, Your Suggestions for the Improvement of the ROM will be greatly appreciated. Also If you feel that I should Include/Exclude any App/Mod/Tweak in the ROM, Let me know.
Choose Undervolting Wisely, It can cause random reboot issues, If thats not an issue for you then undervolting could be the best thing you would do for improving your phone's battery life.
Bloatware Removal is only suggested for the users who face RAM issues with this ROM, Don't just select all of them altogether first consider knowing what the apps that you are removing are actually for and whether it would be beneficial or harmful or problematic to remove them. Per App Details are mentioned in the Aroma Installer.
Installation:
Download and Copy The Rom To SD Card.
Reboot to Recovery.

Sure, Whenever you feel like it. Its late here too. I am always hungry for a detailed review. This is the initial release, So, I did not go for any big changes in this release. I don't own an Galaxy S III but lot of users have been requesting me for very long to make this for their device. I developed this ROM originally for Xperia S, I just added some of the stuff from that ROM and made this build. Lets see how everything works out. I will dive in for bigger changes and improvements once I get some detailed reviews/reports on, Whats working and whats not, What should be Added / Improved / Removed, What are the major issues associated with this ROM and Detailed Reports on Performance, Speed, Smoothness, Responsiveness, Fluidity and Overall Quality. So, Just let me know whenever you can enlighten me with these things.
i was waiting for this rom

Nice ROM. Any chance to have the option to block ringer volume increase/decrease with the hardware volume buttons? Most people I know only really use the volume buttons for media volume anyway. The Galaxy S3 is notorious for bumping the volume buttons when pressing the power button on the opposite side. Its a great feature with the 4.3 ROM's, saves you from silent mode being deactivated by accident. I much prefer 4.1.2 ROM, though, due to better stability with my Bluetooth ERA headset. I will use this ROM and let you know how it fairs. Good job!
What about android version and based build ROM?

I am glad that you feel this way. I am sure users will love this ROM. This is only an initial beta release though, You will bigger and better improvements in the coming releases when I am well informed with what users exactly want their ROM to be like. So, Whenever you install the ROM, take it to roughest and longest test drive and let me know what you feel about it and what can be done to make it even better.

Its based upon JB 4.1.1 and I chose that because some users requested me to as they didn't want to loose the features from the Stock ROM and break a few features like FM Radio (Which is usually the case in CM based ROMs). Well, this is the initial release, I will go on with porting MIUI on JB 4.1.2 or maybe JB 4.2.2 when a stable stock build is available later on. If you guys want me to make another CM based ROM then let me know. Stock Based or CM Based its your choice, I am good with both, Its upto you guys to choose which one you want.

It will be very easy to port that feature on a CM based ROM, I will see if it could be done as easily in this one too. Sure, Give it a try and let me know what you feel. Great suggestion by the way. Let me know if you have more.

Had a bit of trouble getting it to download but now that I'm trying to install it's getting stuck on 0.0% install saying to be patient. Could my download be the problem or is it the installer? Full SD wipe and format. Phone getting hot after 15 mins of no progress. Tried 3 times no success.

no wipe needed? ( I`am on miuiandroid)
I have tested a couple of MIUI ROMS but this one is the best by far.
The only deal breaker for me is that it sadly lacks the Swedish language.
The ROM is fluently without the lag when scrolling through home screens that many of MIUI roms suffer from.
Phone settings are snappy and quick.
The Iphone7 lock screen is a bit buggy in my opinion, it is hard to slide it up and then get rid of it
It would be great if this ROM could be based on Sammy stock so that we could get some of the Sammy features.
Tnx !! job well done !

Sir if you can make the other release based on stock 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 Rom then it would be better & we will get all stock features & apps compatibility without any problem. But on cm base most features are missing & incompatible.
i love new development project and as a matter of fact sir i will be making a video on all the features with this rom and i will post the link very soon...give me 5 days time and hopefully i shall come up with a good video for your rom....downloading now btw
Have a great day sir
Hello,
if you make a 4.3 CM based ROM, i will test it, i don't need fm radio.
Thanks for your work

Please do the 3 wipes..it only takes 3 s-5 secs in total and will save a lot of time by preventing bootloop
Cheers
I would appreciate your opinions cuz im thinking wether or not to install a custom ROM on my mi 5.
Im currently on miui global stable 9.5 with a locked bootloader.
The main reasons for wanting to switch:
- active apps keep closing while using them due to aggressive ram management on miui.
- cant interact with notifications directly from lockscreen without pulling down the notification shade.
- miui sometimes not as fluent and smooth as i would like while multitasking several apps.
- lack of ambient display or active display for incoming notifications (such as at moto g5 plus) on miui.
---------------------------------
I don't really care so much about:
- battery life.
- lots of "extra featurs" (like in several roms) that pure nugat/oreo doesn't already have built in.
It is really important for me that the rom will be with little bugs as possible! I really really (really) hate force closers/random errors/random reboots.
Should i spend the effort of unlocking, installing and starting from scratch again with all the settings and apps? If yes, Please also suggest the best ROM suited for my needs above (mainly performance and stability).
Sorry for the long post
Thanks a lot!
You're a great community

@Yuval_i_1988 try MASIK, it has the stability of MIUI roms with a few customizations (like stock notifications option in the aroma installer). Very smooth!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-masik-miui-aroma-installer-t3618476
In fact, I think PT AOSP is a good choice.
Hi people, after testing a couple of custom roms in the search for better performance I have figured out that the official MIUI rom is the best in performance, stability and battery management. (With some tweaks)
First tested the crDroid rom posted here. It is beautiful, simple, lighweight, the first time I flashed it I made the mistake of enabling aditional protection with pattern, then everytime it booted started of asking for pattern before boot (taking more time), getting slow, it crashed once, reflashed, didn't activated the aditional protection and everything worked good, only the proximity sensor where not working, the performance in UI was great, but gaming it didn't.
Second I tested Bootleggers ROM posted here. It's beautiful too, even more, the splash screen after logo is amazing, in my experience it works better than crDroids, all features worked as intended, very fluid UI, face unlock didn't work as in crDroids, voice match did it, but in gaming it was the same, the performance where not as good as it is in MIUI.
Some things to take into account:
-I flashed both of them with Open Gapps Nano from here used ARM64, Android 9, nano, it
worked better than the pico included in both posts because with pico voice match was not working.
-In both roms flashed Evira Kenerl 1.9, maybe isn't compatible with crDroids rom and because of that the proximity sensor where
not working, in Bootleggers rom Evira Kernel 1.5 is included, so there doesn't should be any compatibility issue.
-The game that I tested in both was PUBG Mobile, any of them played it in full screen mode (the notch bar), in MIUI it is played in
full screen mode.
-I use MIUI Global 10.3.5 debloated with Saki/EU tool from here and Evira Kernel 1.9, no battery savers from Magisk
What I saw is that the battery performance is almost the same in any of them, the system performance is fluid in any of them, including MIUI, but games performance is better in MIUI, there are no bugs (for what I know), face unlock works great, the fingerprint recognition in MIUI is better, stock camera offers manual mode, Gcam port from BSG is the best one and works perfect in the roms that I tested, and the most important thing that I noted is that the RAM usage in the three roms is almost the same, in MIUI I get 2+ GB of free RAM as in the custom roms.
So, because all of this my conclusion is that for now is better to stay in MIUI, it has OTA updates, is stable, bug free, and performs really great, even better in games in my experience.
Thanks.
:good:

First tested the crDroid rom posted here. It is beautiful, simple, lighweight, the first time I flashed it I made the mistake of enabling aditional protection with pattern, then everytime it booted started of asking for pattern before boot (taking more time), getting slow, it crashed once, reflashed, didn't activated the aditional protection and everything worked good, only the proximity sensor where not working, the performance in UI was great, but gaming it didn't.
Second I tested Bootleggers ROM posted here. It's beautiful too, even more, the splash screen after logo is amazing, in my experience it works better than crDroids, all features worked as intended, very fluid UI, face unlock didn't work as in crDroids, voice match did it, but in gaming it was the same, the performance where not as good as it is in MIUI.
Some things to take into account:
-I flashed both of them with Open Gapps Nano from here used ARM64, Android 9, nano, it
worked better than the pico included in both posts because with pico voice match was not working.
-In both roms flashed Evira Kenerl 1.9, maybe isn't compatible with crDroids rom and because of that the proximity sensor where
not working, in Bootleggers rom Evira Kernel 1.5 is included, so there doesn't should be any compatibility issue.
-The game that I tested in both was PUBG Mobile, any of them played it in full screen mode (the notch bar), in MIUI it is played in
full screen mode.
-I use MIUI Global 10.3.5 debloated with Saki/EU tool from here and Evira Kernel 1.9, no battery savers from Magisk
What I saw is that the battery performance is almost the same in any of them, the system performance is fluid in any of them, including MIUI, but games performance is better in MIUI, there are no bugs (for what I know), face unlock works great, the fingerprint recognition in MIUI is better, stock camera offers manual mode, Gcam port from BSG is the best one and works perfect in the roms that I tested, and the most important thing that I noted is that the RAM usage in the three roms is almost the same, in MIUI I get 2+ GB of free RAM as in the custom roms.
So, because all of this my conclusion is that for now is better to stay in MIUI, it has OTA updates, is stable, bug free, and performs really great, even better in games in my experience.
Thanks.

thanks for sharing your experience!
right now, I haven't root my phone yet. based on your experience, I think I won't root my phone (at least until there's the most stable & efficient rom or until the warranty period expires).
you said that you use evira kernel. so, is it worth it to root my phone just for this kernel?
(sorry for my bad english)

Well, if you unlock your bootloader the warranty will be void, if you decide to do it I recommend you to root your phone with this guide from HERE, with root you can use Adaway for blocking all ads in your mobile, in any way Magisk is required to flash Evira Kernel, and it worth the proccess, the battery will last longer and the performance can be improved; is up to you.
:good:
Yup bro if you need your phone for gaming then it's always a basic rule “Custom ROMS are not made for gaming”
Which means you better stick with the stock rom for the full gaming experience
But doesn't it bother you that you don't see notifications in your status bar and lockscreen?
This is the only reason that made me switch to custom roms..

I am on MIUI 10.4 by xiaomi.eu 9.5.16 Beta and I see every notification on my lockscreen, when I allow them to be seen in App settings. On status bar see like 3-4 icons, but you can add priority to the notification icons, so it's not problem at all. Why is everybody saying that you can't see notifications?
When I was on MIUI Global 10.3 (before unlock timer expired) I could also see all of my notifications.

you can use this recovery..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637
But if you love your rn7's camera then don't use any of the custom or miui based custom roms... Camera performance is always better in the stock rom.
What I did was, after trying every other roms I've switched back to the stock china rom, flashed magisk and used titanium backup (paid v) app to debloat the rom of useless apps.
I've also tried the global rom but found the china roms camera performance to be superior.

This also (from my experience) sorts the icons on the status bar, so apps with higher "importance" are shown in the situation, in which you have too many notification icons.
My impressions
Hello everyone
I Just bought a Redimi Note 7 after a quite long time using Samsung S8.
There is a couple thing really bothering me like
The swipe up opening google search.
I can't sort the apps alphabetically (really sucks)
The camera seems to be a little too dark (like the default cfg needs a tweak)
Infinite screen seems to be in conflict with the swipe up google search thing.
I got a couple of photos to compare the stock camera from the S8 and the Redmi
But the forum anti span wont let me

Hi, it works pefect at 1.9 version, for better battery I use alucardsched for CPU governors and zen for I/O scheduler, you should disable fsync in miscellaneous, I did it and no problem at all, it improves a lot the performance for wiriting/reading process in ROM.

Can you show me some screenshots of notifications like Facebook or Whatsapp on your status bar?
Just a quick tip and a call for help lol
If you face issues using Android auto + Waze and Xiaomi devices .
Set the power saving settings to no restrictions o both Android auto and Waze.
Go to app management and select the app to do It.
The problem I'm having now is .
When I receive an audio on WhatsApp I click play it starts playing on the speaker but it do not transfer to the ear speaker when I bring it close to my face .
Anyone knows how to fix it ?

Thanks. I don't have it, I just got MIUI 10.3.3.0 EU. This importance thing must be a MIUI 10.4 feature.
Very good write up. I'm sure there are many people who are sticking with stock rom for now with same/similar experiences or reasons. I'm one of them.
What app should I debloat??

It's finally here and you can now download it! Stable Android 11 on Realme X2. FIRST IMPRESSIONS AND REVIEW
Credits to @dev_harsh1998 for the hard work and dedication in bringing the first stable Android 11 Rom barely 5 days that it was released by Google to Pixel devices and now it has been also publicly released with source.
Okay, now that I am through with the formalities, let's check out what's new with Android 11.
What's New?
There is no complete UI overhaul from Android 10 but there are plenty UI changes that are so pleasing to the eyes like the new power off interface, notification arrangements, Bubbles and lots more.
The power menu has been revamped (see screenshot below) and is now more useful than ever. You can now add all kinds of controls in the power menu and even full screen cat games...
Notifications have been completely transformed with system wide notification bubble.
All new built in Screen Recorder that can record system's internal Audio and mic.
Super enhanced privacy settings with new One time only permission
There is so much to Get you excited about the new Android 11
PERFORMANCE
The Android 11 user interface is so smooth, you'll probably get emotional attached to the experience.
Everything is so smooth and the animations are just fun. Switching apps, opening apps, playing games etc.
BATTERY LIFE
Battery backup is good, a little bit better than what I get in Android 10 probably because I haven't installed over 120 apps... ? Idle and background apps battery consumption was also great.
What's Working
Boots
RIL (Calls, SMS)
Mobile data
Bluetooth
WiFi/hotspot
VoLTE, VoWiFi
Media (audio/video)
Camera(s) all lenses
Camcorder
GPS
OnScreen Fingerprint sensor (FOD)
NFC (1991/1993)
CTS Green
Encryption
DRM
Sensors
etc.
Bugs?
headphone jack audio routing
There is no magisk yet so you might have to experience life without root on Android for some time before magisk for Android 11 will be released so,
What are you for see it for yourself and possibly flash
IT
Check out the Android 11 (AOSP) Realme X2 XDA thread here
For flashing instructions and download links.
Thanks for the detailed review. Will try this out once stable magisk for android 11 rolls out as I cannot live without root on my device.
Hi,
I'm Hummusman and I've been flashing ROMs and modding my phone since the Galaxy S5 (KLTE) days. I'm making this guide in hopes that it makes it easier for you to pick a ROM as per your needs. I will not mention any ROMs that I haven't used.
OXYGEN OS 11
PROS
Decent amount of customization.
One of the best, if not the best fingerprint scanning implementation IMO.
Good Ambient display implementation.
Pretty smooth UI.
Dolby audio genuinely makes your earphone listening experience better.
OnePlus Camera works perfectly as expected. (Unlike some ROMs which have issues with video/portrait mode and on the lockscreen).
CONS
Poor battery life even while using naptime.
Heating issues even while using a custom kernel.
Pushy Oneplus account sign in and cloud services "ads".
No always on display (I don't use it anyway).
Dark mode is not black.
CONCULSION
I'd personally not use it based on the two inital cons. I have heard many people say that they do not have this problem but I do even after clean flashing and restoring using MSM multiple times over multiple updates. Use it if you're lazy or afraid of bricking your phone by flashing a ROM. (Highly unlikely)
OXYGEN OS 10
CONCLUSION
This is by far the best version of oxygen os so far but I would not use it and also don't recommend you use it for only one reason and that is thats its old and has older security patches.
Pixel Experience (Plus)
I'm not including the non plus version here because I haven't used it. But I presume that it is very similar and I recommend using the plus version.
PROS
Very stable
Excellent battery life. I don't use my phone a lot (~3.5-4 hours of SOT) so I get around 1.5-2 days on a single charge. Keep in mind that I use naptime (not very agressively)
OnePlus Camera Included
Good Fingerprint Scanning Implementation
Unlimited Photos Storage
Like the name suggests, mostly stock pixel experience
CONS
If it matters to you, there aren't many features in this ROM. Styles and wallpapers theming is also very limited with only a few accent colors. There is only one clock style.
Just like many ROMs, the Fingerprint scanning area is not as large as stock OOS.
CONCLUSION
This is the ROM I'd recommend if you're priority is stability and battery over all else. Not recommended if you're interested in tweaking your phone to the max.
DERPFEST
PROS
Best in class features and themeing options. Has lots of UI styles, accent colors and clock options. Lots of other tweaks are present.
Pretty stable with minimal bugs.
Above average-great battery life.
Good FIngerprint scanning implementation
Unlimited Photos Storage
OnePlus Camera Included.
All in all a well rounded ROM
CONS
Fingerpint scanning area is not as large as OOS.
Inlcuded OnePlus camera does not have macro mode as of now.
CONCLUSION
I initially had a bad impression of derpfest when it was a beta release as it had bad battery life and some heating issues. Now, since the release of the stable version, this is a very nice ROM and I recommend it for a good balanced experience. I personally use this ROM a lot.
CrDroid & XTENDED XR
To be fair, I haven't used these ROMs lately. I used to use crdroid as my daily ROM while derpfest was in its beta stage. Thus I will skip the pros and cons and jump to the conclusion. I recommend that you try them yourself first.
CONCLUSION
Both are solid ROMs and XTENDED has one of the most personal theming experience with lots of customization. But something feels off about this ROM and I can't put my finger down on what exactly causes this. My guess is that its something to do with it being based on Lineage OS and IMO something feels off about Lineage OS as well compared to AOSP. Its worth mentioning that both include the OnePlus Camera.
HAVOC OS
PROS
Pretty stable with minimal to no bugs.
Good fingerprint scanning implementation with the correct sized scanning area.
Has working screen off fingerprint. Keep in mind that this will disable ambient display.
Unlimited photos storage
OnePlus camera included.
All existing features are very polished and are well implemented.
All in all a very smooth ROM.
CONS
HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE. Idle drain is ridiculous even with naptime installed. I slept with 90-95% battery left at 1130PM. Woke up the next day with 72%. If you sleep with 20-30% left, YOUR PHONE WILL BE DEAD WHEN YOU WAKE UP.
Fingerprint animations are turned on by default and this causes fingerprint to not work at all for some reason. (Turning animations off makes it work)
CONCLUSION
I had been using havocos daily on my OnePlus 3 and I felt that it was one of the best if not the best ROM in existence. I am severly dissapointed that I cannot use havoc os daily because of its poor battery life.
DOT OS [Update 17/10/2021]
PROS
I love the unique material you port that this ROM offers which picks an accent color from your wallpaper.
Good feature selection. Has all of the essentials with some goodies.
Interesting MIUI based theme (can be considered a con based on your preference but IMO its a breath of fresh air from all the generic AOSP ROMS)
Decent Performance (some lags in the qs panel) and decent battery life (~3 47mins with medium to heavy use (16%left)) (Have only used it for one cycle at this point)
CONS
Fingerprint scanning implementation is hit or miss. Works fine now with the white scanning icon.
UI can be a tad buggy at times. I feel that the MIUI skin contributes to this.
Hasn't been updated in a while. (5.2 has been announced and not yet released)
No OnePlus camera app currently.
CONCLUSION
Nice ROM which is let down by the poor implementation of core features. I would daily drive this ROM if the fingerprint implementation was good and OnePlus camera app was included. (I hope both of these are fixed with the 5.2 release)
Paranoid Android Ruby Beta
I've only used this rom briefly becuase of its single and old release and the lack of the OnePlus camera app. Its a good ROM but I wouldn't recommend you daily drive it as it seems pretty dead in its current state.
Android Ice Cold Project
Again, I used this ROM only briefly as
Installing it was a pain in the ass.
No Gapps included.
Developer came off as a bit hostile
Lacks some core features while focusing on niche features.
All this might have changed as the last time I used this ROM was a atleast 5-6 months back. Try it if you want and if you know what you're doing.
Lineage OS
Lineage OS is Lineage OS. Nothing more to say.
My Personal Favourites
PIXEL EXPERIENCE (BEST STABILITY AND BATTERY LIFE)
DERPFEST (AMAZING CUSTOMIZATION AND GOOD STABILITY AND BATTERY LIFE)
Flashing Tips
Since this phone does not have a fully working TWRP, it might be tricky for people to figure out how to flash ROMs for this device. Many ROM developers tell you to extract the payload.bin and flash each partition to each slop separetely. This is very tedious and boring and I hate doing this. It is not even foolproof and doesn't work many times.
So, the most foolproof and easiest way to flash a ROM is...
Using the guide on the lineage os downloads page.
You can skip some steps if you are alraedy on a custom ROM. (Pre install instructions and before)
Just replace the lineage os ROM zip with your prefferred ROM and flash. I have tested it to work with every ROM in this guide.
How I switch ROMS (Custom -> Custom not OOS -> Custom)
Use Migrate to back up all apps and their data. (Requires Root) (Don't forget to copy zip to your PC)
Boot to recovery. Enter fastboot (in advanced)
Perform fastboot -w
Boot to recovery and format data
Adb sideload ROM
Set up ROM
Boot back to recovery and flash magisk using adb sideload.
Install migrate helper to restore all my apps and data.
Some things to note:
You can use the lineage os recovery to flash magisk very easily. Rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip (get it from github), go to recovery and abd sideload it. You will have to skip signature verification.
If for some reason, your ROM does not boot after you have sidealded it, go back to the recovery and click on format data. This fixes it 99% of times.
Tweaks I Use
Youtube Vanced and YT Music Vanced
Naptime and servicely
Rboard themes (get from telegram)
Franco Kernel Manager to reduce vibration intensity in some ROMS. I also sometimes apply an underclock.
Thank you for reading. Please ingnore spelling and grammar mistakes as I'm to lazy to install grammarly and I'm not a native english speaker.
A real thank's for your feedback. I have a question that I asked in Derpfest forum, Im on OOS 10.0.3.1 and my bootloader is unlocked, can I root without wiping data? The goal is to backup all my apps with data for restoring on Derpfest rom
Thank you again

Thank a lot, just saw your answer there
Ok, but... what ROM should i flash if i need a vanilla one(without gapps)? I just used Lineage OS microg version on xda topic, and it has few bugs. Like, the fingerprint is working decent when i configure it, but after a day is not working at all, performance is not that good, even with a custom kernel, and the battery life is not great. I don't want Google's sh!t.

Hasn't been updated in a while. (5.2 has been announced and not yet released)
No OnePlus camera app currently.
CONCLUSION
Nice ROM which is let down by the poor implementation of core features. I would daily drive this ROM if the fingerprint implementation was good and OnePlus camera app was included. (I hope both of these are fixed with the 5.2 release)
Paranoid Android Ruby Beta
I've only used this rom briefly becuase of its single and old release and the lack of the OnePlus camera app. Its a good ROM but I wouldn't recommend you daily drive it as it seems pretty dead in its current state.
Android Ice Cold Project
Again, I used this ROM only briefly as
Installing it was a pain in the ass.
No Gapps included.
Developer came off as a bit hostile
Lacks some core features while focusing on niche features.
All this might have changed as the last time I used this ROM was a atleast 5-6 months back. Try it if you want and if you know what you're doing.
Lineage OS
Lineage OS is Lineage OS. Nothing more to say.
My Personal Favourites
PIXEL EXPERIENCE (BEST STABILITY AND BATTERY LIFE)
DERPFEST (AMAZING CUSTOMIZATION AND GOOD STABILITY AND BATTERY LIFE)
Flashing Tips
Since this phone does not have a fully working TWRP, it might be tricky for people to figure out how to flash ROMs for this device. Many ROM developers tell you to extract the payload.bin and flash each partition to each slop separetely. This is very tedious and boring and I hate doing this. It is not even foolproof and doesn't work many times.
So, the most foolproof and easiest way to flash a ROM is...
Using the guide on the lineage os downloads page.
You can skip some steps if you are alraedy on a custom ROM. (Pre install instructions and before)
Just replace the lineage os ROM zip with your prefferred ROM and flash. I have tested it to work with every ROM in this guide.
How I switch ROMS (Custom -> Custom not OOS -> Custom)
Use Migrate to back up all apps and their data. (Requires Root) (Don't forget to copy zip to your PC)
Boot to recovery. Enter fastboot (in advanced)
Perform fastboot -w
Boot to recovery and format data
Adb sideload ROM
Set up ROM
Boot back to recovery and flash magisk using adb sideload.
Install migrate helper to restore all my apps and data.
Some things to note:
You can use the lineage os recovery to flash magisk very easily. Rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip (get it from github), go to recovery and abd sideload it. You will have to skip signature verification.
If for some reason, your ROM does not boot after you have sidealded it, go back to the recovery and click on format data. This fixes it 99% of times.
Tweaks I Use
Youtube Vanced and YT Music Vanced
Naptime and servicely
Rboard themes (get from telegram)
Franco Kernel Manager to reduce vibration intensity in some ROMS. I also sometimes apply an underclock.
Thank you for reading. Please ingnore spelling and grammar mistakes as I'm to lazy to install grammarly and I'm not a native english speaker.

Ok, but... what ROM should i flash if i need a vanilla one(without gapps)? I just used Lineage OS microg version on xda topic, and it has few bugs. Like, the fingerprint is working decent when i configure it, but after a day is not working at all, performance is not that good, even with a custom kernel, and the battery life is not great. I don't want Google's sh!t.

Try the new dotos 5.2. Peformance is ok and battery life is decent.

Thank you!
Thinking about to install custom rom again. One thing I wonder is if custom roms has impact on Widevine. Perhaps Widevine only affects if you root?
I was first thinking about trying out Pixel Experience but seems the feature with date in statusbar is not there? Perhaps CrDroid might be a good choice...
