I dont know if any thread was before or not.
But since android 10 is out, and lots of custom roms based on android 10 are out for our device, i am curious why no one aosp custom rom is enough stable? Even official versions.
I have tested several custom roms as Pixel, Evox, Lineage, MSM extended, Corvus, IOn, Paranoid, .... and all of them have problems. Most of them is even clean flash, all formated, clean flash, if needed miui vendor flashed good one. all have problem, some lose voice call conections, some if we are on wifi and we go in town, and when come back home, phone doesnt connect automatic on wifi , we have to connect manualy. and such simple problems what are really simple.
I thank to all developers who makes efforts to custom roms, but why each rom with each new build is as not same god is even worst?
First i am not fan of MIUI, but nytime after some times of using custom aosp roms, it was days or even just hours or even minutes, i switch back to miui custom roms.

Hello
Please advise which is the best ROM Android 8.1 or 9.0 at the moment, which has all the features enabled and no bug?
And as OTA is upgradeable, it does not need to be installed through recovery !
Well, one of the reasons that there are many roms, is that different people find different things "best".
Personally, I'm happy running Nitrogen Pie. Still, there are a few reports of bugs on all Pie roms:
- WiFi calling is missing
- encryption doesn't work
- SeLinux is turned off
If you want OTA updates, I think only Lineage has that. That is also a rom with weekly updates, whereas Nitrogen updates when Nitin feels like it, usually once a month. But Lineage has a bit fewer options to tweak things.
Generally, the Nexus 6 roms are all good. Unless you need very specific stuff, I don't think you'll be disappointed no matter what. And even if you are, changing is easy.
I was always into rooting, roms, and stuff like that, but sometimes the stability of stock roms is just convenient especially when one has a busy life and needs a stable phone working and not worrying about updating and flashing so often...
My question is this.. would lineage on mi 8 deliver stability needed to just use this beautiful phone or should I just settle for the 6t with it's stock ROM?
I´m using android phones since 2010, the first Android Version i started with was 1.6 Donut, and i´ve always had a custom rom running on all my phones, because i was missing features, performance sucked, etc ...
Now i think it´s time for a change ! Oxygen 9.5.4. really fits my needs, i don´t miss anything important, only a root based/magisk adblocker i used on omni (but i don´t wan´t to unlock the bootloader this time because widevine L1 would be gone )
I´ll change to the beta programm when it´s available to get early access to Android Q , but that´s it, no more custom ROMS for me this time .
Most things are achievable without root nowadays (Pixel Launcher with bridge, Youtube Vanced , etc) and i´m tired of daily /weekly flashing of custom ROMS and dealing with their bugs and not yet implemented functions ...
So, what is your opinion on that? Will you keep Oxygen or switch to your favourite custom ROM ? (When it´s available)
Think i might keep mine rooted+stock+substratum... But the stock android looks very good atm with LS customizations and a few other customizations + i like the pixel launcher where the searchbar gets these cool animations of what the google webpage has...

I will keep oxygen os I have the T-Mobile version of this phone but will switch to global oxygen os and flash the nolimits magisk rom
I'm looking forward to Renovate ICE rom. It's stock Oxygen OS but with a load of useful customisations and cosmetic theming options.
Yes you lose Widevine L1 but you get the best of OOS that you can't get on source built custom ROMS. It's a nice balance for me
The good thing about a bootloader unlocked device is choice.. can flash custom ROM anytime we want and change back to stock anytime also.. I'm actually quite ok with Oxygen OS as it is but can't help flashing custom ROMs when I see a good one up.. with OnePlus we have a choice but more and more manufacturers are making it very difficult for us to have that choice.. I've dumped S 10+ for that very reason and sticking with OnePlus stock for now
I'm going to keep a rooted stock rom, but will flash the global rom for faster updates once I get this bootloader unlocked.
That will all depend on whether we get fully functional FP reader for me. If we do then I think the phone will rock with a good custom rom in it.

That's why you should feed back testing info to the devs so they can fix them. They're not a massive corporation and they ain't getting paid to compile these roms.
Stock/root/substratum for a while I think. This is my first OnePlus device, want to play thoroughly first.

good point, as i remember there were some problems with some oneplus devices and FP reader !
i used omni rom on my oneplus 5t before and really loved it, but it took a lot of weekly builds until everything was implemented and working fine ... but then it was my favourite ROM
but for now i really will try to keep stock Oxy , i really like it and i´m tired of flashing and waiting for features ...
by the way, Arnova´s newest GCAM works fine on stock Oxy ... https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog414/
Once we see a Pixel Experience rom I'll be switching for sure.
I'm definitely keeping my phone stock. Once I'm able to unlock the bootloader, then I'm going to the Global version. With the 6T, custom ROMS was having issues with the fingerprint scanner until about two months ago.
I was a flashoholic from the Droid X all the way to the Nexus 6P days but since getting the OnePlus 5 and then the 6, they were the only phones I never felt the need to flash a custom Rom. I won't be likely work this either. I unlock, TWRP, custom kernel and root the instant I get my phones but that's all I need anymore. OOS is more than fine
OxygenOS is great I have stayed on OxygenOS since oneplus 3
I will eventually flash a custom ROM ??
Im also surprised of how well OxygenOS is working and fits needs. Nevertheless I will try and use custom Roms. Just hope they run on 90 hz and the scanner works and also the selfie cam, otherwise I will stick to OOS.
One more who stays on OOS here, mainly because of immersive gestures support (even android Q still has his ugly navbar). But I rooted it on the second day, second because thought having L1 is kinda nice, but after discovering that even with L1 NETFLIX only outputs 720p I decided to unlock, magisk it and install adaway.
Waiting for pixel experience
I had a lot of problems caused by root on my current SGS9+
- not working Google Pay (had to do weird things to get it working)
- some banking apps displaying root warning and won't work or won't let me login by fingerprint
- lost some of the best Samsung features: Secure Folder for example
All I wanted root for was to remove bloatware...since OnePlus don't have much bloatware I only need AdBlock...for adblock I found 2 nice methods:
- https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html
- https://blokada.org/
For YouTube ads we have Vanced thing and I love it so...overall I don't think I will root my next device (which will be OP7Pro in a few days )
I will most likely keep OOS as well, it's been good to me and the first time I have ever remained on stock was starting with my 6T.
I just wish substratum overlays would show without having to reboot. Other than that, I have no issues with stock.
staying with oxygen as usual; it's very nice
Whats your choice ROM/Kernel/Mod combination for OP7T Pro?
After almost two years, and although we don't have a 100% functional TWRP, we have a good range of ROM's and Kernel available even on Android 11. What do you currently use? What is your favorite ROM and Kernel combination?
Have only had the phone for just under a year. I came from OP3 to a 7T Pro (HD1910) about a year ago and haven't gone into a flashing frenzy yet. Currently running Stock OOS 10.0.14 with Arter Kernel, Magisk and Renovate ICE.
Was running OOS 11.0.0.2 with blu spark. While I did not run into many of the issues that a lot of users have faced (seems concentrated on 7T devices), my two main complaints were battery life (I lost about an hour of SOT on A11 vs A10) and the phone overall felt a little sluggish so I ended up downgrading back to A10 with MSM.
tried many roms but always get back to RR. You can do almost anything with this rom, customisation is insane. Only drawback for me were sound of dolby like on stock oos and natural mode in display settings. this rom is by far most complete and stable othan any other rom I ever used on all my previous phones.

I tried them all but i always return back to OOS. For my daily use i found OOS + Custom kernel is enough
I keep jumping between latest OOS + eng.stk, arter97 or flar2 kernels

Well, I decided to give Custom ROMs a try so I just flashed Pixel Experience. I solely blame you for opening this door (LOL; well, showing me the door). Will report back after I give it a couple of weeks of use.
I just flashed latest DerpFest plus Dora kernel. Working well for now.
For me, the flash process is very time-consuming without a working twrp.
I last tested a few roms 4-5 months ago (RR, crdroid, havoc) but some things never really worked well, for example the vibrations are too strong, the auto brightness doesn't work, sometimes the phone connection dropped for no reason or WhatsApp voice messages sometimes had sound dropouts. I didn't like that at the time and stayed with OOS.
Is there currently a Rom that really runs smoothly? I need the device as a daily driver. I've been itching to flash a new version, but the disappointment that something doesn't work puts me off.
Pixel Experience 11 works great.

How's battery for you on PE? I didn't find it as great as OOS10.

Haven't used OOS in a year so can't tell.
Battery life seems decent, but I haven't done a full charge test. And i think my battery had degraded quite a bit from charging a lot.
Went from OOS11 to PE+ back to OOS10 to OOS11 back to PE+ to OOS10 to dotOS back to OOS10 and now back on dotOS. Since my last post.
Gonna stick with dotOS for a bit.
It seems like if you want good battery life, you should stick to Android 10. All custom 11 ROMs and OOS11 for that matter can't compete with A10/OOS10 battery.
i have tried few roms but ended up with rooted/stock
i think its the best
though last time i 'm back to stock 2 days ago (was on los 18.1) then stock 10 using downgrade file 2 times then root
and finally go to oos 11 wiping every thing with clean net install
No battery issue so far no lags no negative things @All
on my opinion STOCK IS THE BEST (ROOTED)

I can't find a custom ROM that is as good as OOS for DT2S, single tap to ambient display, and gesture navigation.
Anyone running any debloats here? If yes, which one(s)?
if anyone wants rock stable custom rom, go for RR! it's a10 of course but none of the a11 custom roms come close in terms of stability and customisation. I running it with nemo v4 kernel and smoothness and battery life are improved even more! I like oos 11 but little bugs like low notification volume are bugging me. I think yaap, dotos, paranoid a11 based are good but have few things to fix like autobrightness, paranoid was smoothest rom I ever seen but camera is causing issues if you want other cam than one that is included in the rom. hope soon we will have more stable and daily driver custom roms...
still on oos 11 and stock kernal. i Dont think rom development is where I want it to be I wouldnt switch again. I think it's at its dieing stages. no updates for stock either yet we pay big money. I am over mobile phones what a rort market
Hi Everyone,
After 3 years of everyday use I'm decided to bring new life to my Mi9 before I change him at new one.
I know a bit about modding at nooby level. A long long time ago I freaking out about custom ROMs (started from LG GT540, LWW, HTC M7 etc.). But from 3-4 years, since I bought a Mi9 and decided to stop, because MIUI (EU) was a perfect UI (at this time) for me and OTA's successfully keept me by the Stock.
But the time begins - OTA's go away, because Mi9 it's too old for Xiaomi and I want to flash a custom. Latest OTA with Android 11 doesn't arrive at all (yeah, I tried to change regions - I'm from Poland, but without results).
At this time I want a clean AOSP ROM. If there is based on stock kernel would be great, because I want maintenance-free and bug-free as much as possible can it be (good battery optimization will be wellcome).
What you guys think? I know, it's a lot of customs for this model, but I wan't flash it once, and don't care about anything anymore.
I reading about this ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-unofficial-2021-03-07-by-lamjiidii1.4224555/, what do you think? Maybe you guys have a better one?
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestions on android 12 roms?
I don't think there is a ROM which is 100% perfect to be honest.
It depends on your hardware too. Some users can't use Pixon Kernel because Wifi is broken for example. Others have no issues at all.
Maybe CrDroid 7 (Android 11) is worth a try as a starting point.
Don't use the outdated unofficial pixel experience.
