Tempting Android N AOSP

Very tempted to update to Android N (Team FXP AOSP)
But I value my camera quality (Using DRM fix kernel, works great)
Knowing that the Xperia is never going to get android N, due to google removing the Z3's kernel from their source, would it be worth updating to AOSP, basically removing all the features that are so good?

You answered your own question, stick to stock if you want a camera that works 100% well. AOSP camera has never been good for any phone and the camera on Nougat barely works anyway.
Next best thing is Concept ROM, which still has a decent camera

I'm tempted to try Nougat AOSP. I don't mind losing the camera on Z3c that much since I prefer my camera on my G4. But I don't know how to install it. Is there a guide? That's up? Last time I checked Sony's site the guide was down.
Two qustions, how bad does the camera become, is it still usable for simple random snaps to send to friends on IMs?
What is DRM fix kernel?
TIA

Lol nougat barely works. I've been running it for days now. My opinion is nougat is excellent on z3c. I can upload a flash able zip with full Google apps if people are interested

That does sound good. Get 6-8h SOT with SLiMM ROM. Do you know how much you get on this one?
Also could you do me a favour and check which Android Security Patch it got? It would be awesome if PA is up to date with that.
TIA

Please could provide a link to the Rom Nougat 7.0

Can you please share the gapps, or tell me which ones you are using? I got cm gapps or open gapps from cm website (for 7.0) and my google play services keep crashing.

Hey thanks. Quick question, you said you have been running nougat on your device and everything (but the camera) seems to be working. I just installed it last night (and my gapps are working as well now) and I already noticed a couple of bugs. First and most important, i can't hear the person on the other end of the line. It appears that my earpiece is not working. The person on the other end can hear me, but I can't hear that person. Second and minor issue, once i plug in my z3c to charge, the battery icon top right shows the charging sign as it should. However when i unplug, that charging sign doesn't go away. So far i have noticed these bugs, can you confirm if you are not facing these bugs (so I know its my device that is messed up).
Thanks,

Hi!
I'm using the latest AOSP for our devices, and facing thiese bugs too. ( 20160912 ). Sometimes I've got calling bug when I can't hear the other person on the line, but he can hear me. Just a restart solves it, but I've got thiese problem nearly evry tenth call time... And one more thing, while i'm on calling and my phone set to minimum volumes, everyone else could to hear my phones speak... or I can say it, what you're talking about. Like when i set the speak to a loudspeaker, as though it were the whole conversation. The speakers are very loud on minimum volume, and not too much louder on maximum settings. ( but, i think they are a known bug ).
Second, the cahrging icon. Yes I experienced it too, when you disconnect the charger from the phone, the icon remain the same, like when the charger plugged in.. And I think, something gping on the background, because my battery goes down nearly 30 percent by a night ( 8h ).
About the rom speed. I think, it runs very smooth / fine until more than five software parallel, ROM while fast. If more than five program run in the background, ROM start to tear, slow down. If you delete them from the memory, the system will be fast again.
I tried to take a logcat with "aLogcat" from playstore, but it's not working. I remember it from my previously phone age, i must convert it to system app... But now, I can't do this, because i did it with Titanium Backup, and now they not support andoid N..
Anyway, I think its will be a very good AOSP rom... ( without camera :/ )

Which Custom Rom is the best?

Which custom rom is better as a daily driver? I rarely play games so gaming doesn't really matter, I watch youtube and browse twitter and reddit.
I'm thinking of flashing dotOS or Havoc OS, but if there's a better and more stable rom, just let me know.
Thanks

I would suggest Harukey's Syberia pie rom, an excellent choice for a daily driver, i use it with the stock kernel it originally comes with, and not rooted; zero bugs believe me. And an excellent battery life, my device's battery has gone from 97% to 66% in 2.5 days of inconsistent usage. And stanby drain is almost non-existent. Cant vouch for any other rom, had problems with Havoc, and havent tried dot os as of yet. I'm sticking with syberia for atleast a few months for now.
Here's the latest iteration:

And I'm sorry, seems like I forgot to tell you about the only bug that I've come across, since that doesnt matter much to me. The auto brightness feature doesnt seem to work at all times, sometimes it will work, but half of the time it refuses to make an effect on the screen brightness, so be wary of that.
And btw, you could also look towards the Pixel experience rom, another great ROM for our device, and extremely smooth and bug free, and if my memory serves me right, auto brightness also works fine on it.
Here's the latest version of the PE rom:

Thank you for recommending this to me, it's really smooth (better than miui). Flashed it yesterday, autobrightness doesn't matter because I don't use it. Lawnchair was a bit glitchy, and ram management was ok, but i got 5 hours of sot from 60% to 5% which is good. Once again thanks so much for recommending me this awesome rom. I'll probably donate to the developers for their work.

Syberia +1

Havoc os with wolf hunter edition kernal

Havoc OS latest build

Pixel Experience Go rom is most stable rom ever

SyberiaOS is the best one so far! I absolutely love it.
The only thing I'd change is the default launcher, Lawnchair is indeed glitchy and I'm always scared to update because every time I had problems with this before & after the encryption so it isn't the cause.
Has anyone experienced bootloop after update? I didn't root the device, I always leave the update zip bc I every time I need to reflash again.

How come you don't have any bugs on dotOS? I tried it twice, two different versions, I thought maybe my set up was faulty but every time I had to replace this rom with something else. It's unusable.

I'm testing right now the CAF ROM.
I miss so many added features from SyberiaOS (beautifully implemented One-Hand mode, scrambled lockscreen keyboard, more accessible power menu, choosing preferred overview mode, built-in status bar customiser and many more handy additions). WiFi seems a lot slower (and it is, just checked with fast.com) and it says it's been fixed on the project's offical website. Not. Loc on, BT off. No root.
I always choose smaller display size and on Pixel Experience ROM it looks less adjusted and even too small (items are too close to the edges, especially annoying on the pull-down status bar). SyberiaOS has more steps to configure this one, so "smaller" one doesn't look that small.
Except some nice touches like Product Sans and neat-looking lockscreen weather widget I don't see many advantages over SyberiaOS. I don't care about Pixel wallpapers and sounds - I always use the same wallpaper and sounds since Nokia N8 XD.
Still, the ROM feels nice, there are +2 pros just mentioned above, but they aren't a necessity, another +1 because of the recent founding in SyberiaOS (on Pixel Experience camera does include location which is a must for me, but same as SyberiaOS doesn't display Model & Maker), +1 for built-in Google apps, +1 for seamless encryption, +1 boots faster, but it may be subjective (although RAM usage is 1 GB less of what SyberiaOS uses) and possible +1 for smooth updates. We'll see.
I'll stick with it for some time and see how's it going.
@RohanHasabe8 check this out and thank you big time!

Which version do you mean, official or unofficial?

Lineage OS is the best rom . I am on LOS 15.01 oreo 8.1 rom no bugs and a lot of updates.
Also lot of privacy settings like trust. Normal drain of battery and it is official and still supported.
:good::good::good:for the devs who work hard!

In this case you have to change kernel. Try f.e. gabriel or wolf kernel.

[LineageOS] Stutter or lag when swiping or scrolling

Hi. I flashed LineageOS 16 recently (clean flash) and the ROM is really good in a lot of aspects, I'm really digging it. But something that bothers me is that sometimes when scrolling through an app or swiping (like on Instagram) there's a noticeable frame drop or stutter. Interesting enough, it happens only on certain apps and moments and not always but it's enough to bother me since stock was so smooth (coming from Oreo Stock).
Is it something that normally happens with this phone? If so, is there a fix for it? Maybe a Magisk module or something.
I appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

For the stutter and performance issues, I recommend the LKT magisk module. I personally use the performance preset on lineage os, and it works fine.

I mean, it does work but not to the extent I'd like. Isn't Moto X4 capable of handling this ROM? Or is it something else's fault?

You're not alone, I've had the exact same experience.
The fist post in the LOS thread says to use Oreo firmware. Not sure of that is no longer correct since it's LOS 16 which is Pie.
I ended up going back to stock Android One.
Out of curiosity do you have a 3GB ram or 4GB ram version?

I have the 3GB version. However, I almost sure it's not a RAM issue since one of the things LOS does very good is keeping apps in the background, actually in that regard is better than stock IMO, though I've only tried stock Oreo on this phone.
This problem is a little one but it annoys me quite a bit since when I was running stock ROM the overall performance was always snappy. I should try wiping cache/dalvik with TWRP but I haven't had the chance atm.
BTW, how's stock Pie? I'm curious.

I have found that if you go into developer options and disable HW overlays, that fixes it. However, for some reason, that setting seems to revert back after some time. So that might be a bug.

I really like the most recent stock FI PPW29.69-39-1. It's pretty snappy and the double-tap-power-button- to-open-camera works faster than previous builds.

Im seeing some pretty poor UI performance as well. Especially in Firefox and K9 email. I didn't see any strain in the CPUs (none went over 20% utilization while I was experiencing the lag). LOS 16 is pretty young, might be some optimations just aren't there yet? Today's changelog was dense so people are absolutely working hard on it.
Edit: FWIW Firefox and k9 are slow on Havoc as well but Havoc's performance has been otherwise stellar. 3D performance included.

i noticed it only happen when battery saver is on. try it

Activate Developer Options, set all values for animation times to zero, phone is more fluent afterwards.

Stuck on rooted OOS 5.0.8 - Now what? OOS 9.x.x with(out) full wipe? Custom ROM?

Hi guys,
my OP3T is increasingly getting on my nerves and I'd love some input on what I should do next. I've been running rooted OxygenOS with TWRP and SuperSU - as far as I can tell, this is old technology. Every time Oneplus released an update, I'd download the full zip file, flash it in TWRP and flash SuperSU over it. Reboot and I'm up and running again right away.
Now with the OOS 9.x.x release issues, things are getting a bit more complicated - I think this might be the right point in time to do a full wipe, back up everything via Titanium Backup and start fresh with a new custom ROM that will (maybe) provide updates for the next year or two.
In general the OP3T is starting to get a little slow. Google Assistant is flakey (Sometimes doesn't activate properly on "OK Google", sometimes plays the beep and then doesn't record any commands, sometimes pops up behind the home screen icons so you can't read any of the text, sometimes just ignores the "OK Google") and the battery life is going downhill a little bit. I'm hoping a fresh wipe and maybe a new ROM will help here. I also need to take care of the earpiece issues - mine is clogged with dust, as are many Oneplus phones if Google results are anything to go by...
So I have a few options:
1. Sell the OP3T cheap (can't give it to my girlfriend because of the earpiece), buy a Pixel or some other phone
2. Upgrade the OP3T to OxygenOS 9.x.x and keep my data with this method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/guide-cope-9-0-3-5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164)
3. Upgrade the OP3T to OOS 9.x.x, wipe everything and move to Magisk or something like that - what are my options here? Is Magisk the go-to method to get root these days?
4. Pick a custom ROM, wipe everything and just move to that. Anyone have a recommendation that's pretty much stock Android, stable and will likely receive regular security updates for the next one or two years? Easy updates with root would be a definite plus!
Any suggestions? Half of me is about ready to trash the OP3T and just get a Pixel now that I can't hear callers when I answer the phone

You could get the ear piece and microphone ports cleaned.
You could do a clean install.
You could install custom ROMs
You could upgrade.
These are all choice you make.
My personal choice: I'm keeping my phone for at least 4 years. I'd be happy very with just OOS (I think it's the best rom I've ever used), but I want security updates. And for that reason I use LineageOS (I've been using it and CM since 2012).
You make your choice based on what matters too you.

Hi Bill,
thanks for your answer.
Of course it's a personal choice that I'll have to make - I'm just looking to get some more info and pros/cons for each choice before wasting my time. Cleaning my earpiece is something that'll take an hour or so of careful fiddling (Is there a permanent fix to get it dustproof? Maybe an aftermarket dust gasket of some kind?), and backup/wipe/flash/restore is something that'll certainly take a chunk out of one of my weekends. All in all that's probably 12 hours of my life I'm not getting back.
Mainly what I want to know is: Is wiping the phone flashing a custom ROM like LineageOS viable for reliable day to day use on the OP3T? How has your experience been compared to OxygenOS in regards to:
-Updates (both security and Android version) - Is the update process seamless now or is it still done purely by a flash from recovery?
-Stability (I'm seeing only nightly builds on the LineageOS page [https://download.lineageos.org/oneplus3] - are there stable or even milestone builds?)
-Feature completeness compared to OxygenOS... do things like double-tap-to-wake work?
-Root... as I asked in my OP, what method is standard these days? Lineage suggests its "AddonSU" package but everyone else seems to say Magisk ist the way to go...?
-Is anything broken?
?
Does anyone else have alternative suggestions in regards to ROMs that may be exactly what I'm looking for? Something that looks and feels exactly like OxygenOS?

Updates: I dirty flash them in recovery once a month.
Security updates: Los gets them every month. OOS may get one more update, but that will be the last.
Completeness: I find Los as good as OOS. And Nlos (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...elopment/rom-nlos-16-0-t3879405/post78433980) even has scrolling screenshots. Note: I don't care much about the camera as I rarely use it.
Root: I've been using Magisk since SuperSU became unsupported. I like it better than SuperSU. I have absolutely to problems with it.
Broken: nothing's broken for me.
But you would have known all of this if you read through the various threads. And there's no "best" rom as it's a subjective decision.
So jump in and try things for yourself.

Android 12 (Viper4Android)

Has anyone managed to get Viper4Android working on the latest beta of Android 12?
The usual methods don't work (makes sense, since its a new OS).
Just curious. I like Android 12 so far, but might roll back to 11 if I can't get Viper going.
Default audio is terrible!

Thanks this works for me Pixel 5

Unfortunately for me that apk didn't work. Audio will not process no matter what I do.
There has always been something about V4A version 2.7.2.1 that has never worked, even on my old Pixel 2 XL, my Pixel 5 doesn't work with it either. Legacy mode, compatibility mode, etc etc never make it work, or process audio. Not sure why. This is after multiple factory image reflashes, including wipes or data formatting.
I'm not sure if anyone has been able to get the Ichigo Kyrwrosaki 2.7.1.6 working on their Pixel 5's with A12 yet. It works flawlessly on Android 10 and 11 for me. Was hoping it would've worked with A12.
Thanks for any info provided and all the help given so far!

Sometimes same issue happens with me. I follow these steps:
1. Play song.
2. V4a doesn't work.
3. I force close v4a.
4. I open v4a.
5. I pause and resume song from notification bar.
Try the above steps, may help..
To avoid this I disabled battery optimization and have enabled legacy mode.

Working good for me i installed the driver let it reboot then i went into the settings in viper app and toggled the legacy mode i also have the kernel set to permissive

Not sure what happened but v2721 works well for me on Android 12 Beta 3 and Beta 3.1 update now. Occasionally I might have to toggle legacy mode on/off but it works.
Side note, to me v2716 of Viper sounds better audio quality wise. Almost like there's a lot of gain or distortion/clipping out peaking happening, regardless of output adjustments. Overall still sounds great, just something I noticed.
Hopefully all of the methods everyone has posted will work on the final version of Android 12!

I really recommend to always refer to the source where you had obtained that. It could be a dangerous app, you know. Also, avoid permissive at all cost, it's VERY dangerous. Is it enforces or permissive thing ?!

Has anyone managed to get Viper4Android working on the latest beta of Android 12?
The usual methods don't work (makes sense, since its a new OS).
Just curious. I like Android 12 so far, but might roll back to 11 if I can't get Viper going.
Default audio is terrible!

Yeah, I have it installed I will share but just as I share it with you, you must create a thread so that other people can also install it. If you agree I will upload the files

Only works in permissive with legacy off here on A12 on Pixel 4XL....
Tested by setenforce 0
Force closing the Viper app
Reopening app
Status ok, but not processing
Toggled Legacy Mode off
Status ok, and processing
Im used to my modded Ichigo Kyrwrosaki 2.7.1.6 on A11 just working
Its modded to start permissive, but switch to enforcing after 30 seconds, doesnt work on 12...status is normal but it wont process audio at all
As always it will take a little time to figure out the magical mix of things to get it working

Updated to newest Magisk and everything is broken again.
Guessing this is what you were referring to @73sydney.
Hoping to figure something out.
My driver status stays abnormal no matter what now.

Pixel 6, android 12 here. I downloaded the apk and selinux enabler and installed both. It works for like a minute, then viper stops processing, and doesnt work unless you reboot, and only works for about a minute again. Something is killing it.

I am NOT using A12, but one thing I have used in the past to stop Ansroid from killing apps in the background is by sett9ing the OOM to superman. And the Nice to high, just for good measure. It would be possibly telling to know exactly which process is dying.

Sooo... I reinstalled viper and the selinux switch. I then turned off battery optimization for both apps. Here's where it gets weird.. I have apple music playing, viper is running, tapping the status button shows that it is processing, but as Im making live changes, you cant hear any kind of change whatsoever. If I enable legacy mode, it stops processing, disable, goes back to shows processing, but its not actually working.
Im not a developer, so I can only tell you what I did at the apps level, hopefully that helps the devs out there. I flipped the switch for compatibility mode and restart the phone. Started apple music, status button is greyed out, and its not processing, cannot hear any live sound changes. So I uncheck compatibility mode, and reboot again. Start apple music, open viper, compatibility and legacy are both OFF, and this time, its NOT processing as shown when pressing the status button. I then enable legacy mode, and now it shows processing, and making the settings changes actually works.
I have my pixel A buds in for the past 10min now, and viper has not stopped processing. My only issue is that it seems like the settings dont make as big of a difference as Im used to them making a difference, if that makes sense. At lunch, Ill test in the car with the LDAC BT adapter and see how it sounds.
Hopefully that helps everyone! Really appreciate all the input.

UPDATE: Would not work with the LDAC adapter, but worked fine with stock dash BT, arrgg...
