so no stable custom rom for note 5 SM-N920T ?

so i bought note 5 SM-N920T which was already on android 7 latest firmware according to sammobile website.
and there are only handful of custom roms (not stocked based but those which occur in original android development).
and all of them have serious issues,
like lineageOs 14.1 has no audio in call, battery drain issues, flash light issue, doesn't take images in dark somehow flash work when you take image but the end image is dark. etc.
and others also have similiar issues.
My requrements for a rom are following.
1. no matter stock based or not, it should have root and MUST SUPPORT ENCRYPTION after root (no matter if i have to flash any kernel or do any gymnastics, i am willing to do it to get to this requirement.
2. it should be fully stable, atleast all basic features should be stable like phone calling, sms, bluetooth, wifi, and others which are necessary for a daily life smart phone.
well that is all because i have xposed in my requirement but xposed is not available for 7 yet so leave it out.
now let see.
stock based custom roms (those i checked) does not support encryption after you root them, and if you encrypt them before rooting, then because their encryption method is such that TWRP don't mount data, so root is impossible after encryption, even i tried that magisk trick of cache workaround, it does not work. after i flash magisk to an encrypted rom, when i get to the point of entering password for encryption, rom says there has been some integrity issues with encryption and you can no longer decrypt, you have to reset the device to factory.
and if i root a stocked based rom before encrypting then they don't encrypt at all.
then there are custom roms like lineageOS. they support encryption with root and their encryption method is also supported in TWRP.
BUT
they are not stable to use as a daily driver.
so can anyone please tell me how can i achieve my requirement on note 5 SM-N920T ? any rom? any kernel / rom combinations ? anything?
or should i sell my note 5 and buy a better device?
thank you for your answers in advance.

Actually PurifyOS has an unofficial Xposed port that works just fine for the 920T, I've been using it for a month. When I flashed Lineage the flashlight and in-call audio worked just fine. Battery drain wasn't very noticeable, but every time the screen turned off while I listening to music my viper and Dolby apps stopped processing.
There's a very stable rom that has very close to stock battery drain, it's the Khongloi S8+ rom in this forum.

buy a better,newer device

i don't know how is that possible that i have many issues and you don't have them, i am on latest firmware / bootloader QG3 on my SM-N920T. and i flashed cleanly LineageOS 14.1 on it with or without root and without any kernel. still i have all the issues with flashlite, music app, camera dark images, mic not working in calls initiated by me and also on internet calls, and very high battery drain with only one app that is Conversations.
can you tell me which lineageOS version are you using? i am using 14.1 from following link.

have you tried it? does device encryption work with having a root?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221
There's the thread for xposed. If you have the latest firmware release from T-Mobile, I'm pretty sure Lineage won't flash over that bootloader. I had to roll back my bootloader to flash it, but Rayman fizzled the problems you were explaining in his second release for the 920T.
As for re-encrypting a device with root I have no never done it. I enjoy flashing roms and custom kernels so once I break encryption and DM-Verity on my devices I leave them that way. I'm pretty sure, don't quote me though, that with supersu you cannot restore encryption while you're rooted. I don't Magisk so you may want to look into that. Hope this helps bro.

dual speaker mod for miui 10

Hi to everyone,
Do you any dual speaker mod for miui 10 available for our mi5?
I can't find it.
This version for example,
https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Mi5StereoMode
it doesn't work properly, speakers works fine but not the audio recording during a video record., Videos are recorded without any audio.
Thanks in advance.

I use the same module on Lineage without a video recording issue. My vote is to drop MIUI ;-P
Maybe it's the camera app you're using? Just a thought, I wouldn't know of a fix.

Hi, i am thinking to move to an android stock version...miui is nice but to much closed for modding.
I have the same problem on google and miui stock cameras.
Which Lineage version are you using?
thanks in advance

15.1 official. I've been on the official LOS builds with opengapps since 14 official. Better than google stock because you may customize with opengapps versions, or none st all if you prefer to be free of google.
LOS 15.1, opengapps 8.1, magisk 17.1, arnova 8.2 gcam is a perfect stack for me. LOS 16 official appears to be around the corner too for Android Pie.

Not yet available for MIUI10

How about havoc or crdroid with camera2api ,Samsung camera drivers,safety net bypass,volte (if you can),double tap to wake,proximity sensor for calls
It doesn't need to have all the requested features just cram in as much as you can

So sweet of you friend, but I like A11 way more than A12 & A13 because gugle messed up the UI on 12/13, everything is biiiiiiiiig UI LOLS also lesser options than previous versions.
CrD11 V316 GSI works perfectly fine reminds me of RRQ ROM (except a few things like Power-off Charging Animation & bootanimation, but its ok)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now RiceDroid Full ROM is published but it doesn't boot (error:2001: repartition op list issue, System R/W issue )

crdroid A11 I would say, I love OneUI 3.1 though but customizations not comparable to CrD.

2.5 I don't recollect now as it was older version but OneUI is great shamshung rom whichever version it be. Among custom roms I admired RRemix & Crdroid, the rest of the roms I didn't do a comparative performance analysis like rom devs do but as a user RRemix & Crdroid felt way better overall than the rest out there of the ones I had tried. I have tried almost all the GSIs though among A10, A11, A12 and A13.
P.S.- It all depends on the use although in my opinion A7 and then A10 was the most remarkable and peak of all the OS versions of andoid i noticed and probably A13 too, so I think after a gap of about 2 versions a really better version emerges with noticeable difference.

Rom for samsung m21

Samsung m21 needs a custom rom
Because it's one ui getting heavier and phone become laggy and speeds also getting slower
internet range problems after update one ui 3.0
And If samsung given update then it fix that or give more problems camera quality also decreased also it does not have proper camera 2 api support for gcam please make a rom for samsung m21 it may be a single rom applicable to three devices m30s m21 m31 because they are nearly same but somewhat camera difference which can be solved by gcam so developers that's it please make rom like havoc or ressuruction remix rom for samsung m21 to get rid of this foolish one ui core

Well we don't have any custom roms as of now.
You can however use GSIs

Ok but need to find os can u tell some os

Some of the working ones are havoc, ancient os and descendant.
There are probably many more that works, but I haven't tried any

I'm not sure about ancient, but I guess A11 builds of havoc and descendant works well.
