Hello
Just a quick question on everyones thoughs as to wether custom roms make a big difference on this phone or not?
This is the first phone I have had where I do not have an immediate desire to unlock my bootloader and start messing around with stuff. I enjoy OneUI's featureset and everything just seems to work as expected.
Do custom roms on this device have a significant improvement over performance and battery life?
Thanks
LineageOS Roms have much better battery in my experience, and is snappier, however the animations aren't as smooth I feel. If you have no problems with performance however, there's no point switching to LOS just for the speed.

I typically only like to root and use stock rom. I need root because I hate ads, and like to have full control over my phone. With the S10 if you don't use a custom rom though you'll need to use a button combo to boot into the rom anytime you power off so I chose to go with BeyondRom since it's basically the stock rom but is modified to always boot into the rom.

Hi,
Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think

I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try
Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.
ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
I agree..
I agree, too.
Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:
Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time
If you do this already nevermind
But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...
And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me )
Hope I could help
Hello guys!
So I bought my One two days ago and I'm pretty satafied with it , but the Rom that came along the device is the vodafone one , which means I have some unnecessary pre-installed apps..
So my question is how can I install a clean stock Rom ?
In addition , I experienced some things I didn't really like such as pretty bad battery life (losing about 1% after using whatsapp for a minute or even less - pretty much the same battery life I had while using my previous 3 year old sgs1) , and a little stutter while using apps like fb,youtube,play music or the camera .. Do you think that changing the Rom can fix those problems ?
Thanks in advance !

Yes, a custom rom and/or kernel can fix those issues. You need to unlock (I think via HTC Dev is the only way at the moment), flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP, I use TWRP and recommend it), root, and flash a custom rom (some Roms come per-rooted so you may be able to skip rooting yourself). There are toolkits available in the Development forum, as well as guides to help you out. Read, read, read, and choose the method you're comfortable with. Roms close to stock, but that allow removing the bloat are Maximus and ARHD (both close to stock). I use ViperOne, a Sense rom with an insane amount of customization! Custom kernels can give you some added features that can help battery life and reduce lag. I use ElementalX and really like it. It's all here in the forums, just read, make backups, and read some more. Hoped this helps...
I've searched and I've seen other posts with no responses. So whats your favorite custom ROM and why? I've tried a few but I can't seem to put my finger on the one I like the best and wanted to see what other people were enjoying about different ROMs. Sorry if this post isn't allowed.
Yes this kind of post isnt allowed
We cant say which rom is bad or good or favorite....
Everyone has their own taste nd preference..
All roms there are stable... you should try all the roms...
Nd btw if u are not satisfied with any of the rom....
Just go back to stock!
favourite mostly stable rom = STOCK SAMSUNG.
its actually depend on you. you as the user. you use the phone. you choose. i always end up with stock since all the function i want work on stock.
I think all Samsung based roms suck, because Samsung managed to make the Android experience worse than stock in every way except the camera.
The only N7 based rom which is stable and mostly works is the Nemesis rom with the Nemesis kernel additionally flashed.
Install greenified, forced doze and xposed to give it reasonable battery life.
i did try many ROMS
but evetually i still go back to stock for 99.9% stability and everything "JUST WORKS"
custom rom is good. dont get me wrong, love it especially when it comes to features.
but for me eventually my requirement is stability.. so sometimes i just play around with a custom ROM for like 1-2 weeks then go back to stock
only flash the ROMS that i felt is worth trying

I have to agree with Edan.
Stock is my choice as Samsung have taken all features into consideration.
There are other ways I prefer to customize such as having lauchers.
Hello. I just bought my brand new Oneplus 3T. I came from the LG G4. I always used custom roms on my android phones. Unfortunately I have a job now and I don't have much time to play/test all these roms around here.
I'm not asking "the best rom" or "which is better" sort of things.
I just need an opinion for what should I begin with?
I would prefer some stock based rom.
As about the kernel I heard a lot about Franco's kernel but I saw that there is Boeffla kernel too.
Don't get me wrong, I just need something to start from because as I mentioned above I don't have much time to test and choose which is best for me.
Thank you!
I have tested many ROM's and I always come to the same conclusion. Stock is better. I recommend you to use stock OOS, root it and mod it as you wish. It's a powerful OS, without much bloatware (which can anyways be easily removed) and it offers a decent amount of customization. Of course, it's not as customizable as RR, but RR is also unstable and doesn't offer the same camera quality. In fact, most ROMs have a crappy camera. Except PA, apparently, which, of course, has other problems, like idle battery drain. You'll find something that won't make you happy in every rom you try. That was, at least, my experience. I have come to the conclusion that OOS does its job well.

This is exactly what I want. I don't want a LineageOS based rom or something like this.
I want a STOCK based rom.
But I don't know with which rom should I start because I saw that there are a few.
Hmm, I'd say freedomOS. It's a very stable ROM, "daily driver" material. It gives you the option to kinda debloat it when you flash the ROM
If you are looking for maximum battery with average use then go for RR with EX Kernel.
Yeah Freedom OS is kind to install because you don't have to do the usual stuff manually, but I've personnaly not noticed anything you can't get on stock OOS.
I'd advice to stay stock, and if later you still want to try some new things there will be plenty of mod material here
If you want something else...try Phoenix AEX ROM..
Really different experience...( EAS based )
Hi, when you are new with this phone I personally would recommend OxygenOpen Beta.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/coming-update-oos-based-7-1-t3564240
This Rom has everything you want, for me absolut stable and has all features you need for normal use. Worth to have a look.
I always had custom Roms on my earlier phones, but this stock Rom is the best I have ever seen. I have unlocked bootloader and rootet phone but since I have my phone (since May) I flashed this Rom and there is no reason for me to change it:angel:

Don't feel like you need to flash a custom ROM, just because you "always have". Try the stock OOS for a bit, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Stock OOS is very impressive. Very little bloat, really close to stock Android, nice customization options, and it just works. It's a big departure from the manufacturer "skins" applied by LG, Samsung, etc. which often (in my opinion) make too many changes, with little added value.
Although, I would suggest unlocking the bootloader now (instead of waiting) even if you do intend to try out the stock ROM for a while. Sinceit is a bit annoying having your data wiped (by unlocking the bootloader - it can't be avoided) and having to setup everything again, if you do decide to install a custom ROM, kernels, etc.
Stick to OOS. It's the best, really. Sultanxda's lineage is amazing for starters.
And Franco kernel on OOS is also "legendary"
Nevertheless, it's upto you to try and tell yourself what rom/kernel suits your needs.
Cheers!
That's the mistake you use custom roms. I always have stock rom on my every device
Stock open beta 10 with custom kernel(optional to remove dm verity flag) + magisk + safety net pass + adway + google assistant + dark mode.... thats it !
greets
RevolutionOs
It is hard to answer as their are many custom rom and it's difficult to be sure.
But if you think of it, theoretically, it should be the rom with the less extra features and especially a rom without google apps (like LineageOS or HavocOS without gapps) that suck the battery out of our phones.
Could be kernel optimization too.
Could be the apps you installed on your phone too.
Many options possible.
I would suggest going with a custom rom without gapps or a rom well rated/tested (as it is potentially appreciated by users therefore has good battery experience).
So... I guess you better try the more popular of them and see which has the best for you
