Does anyone know if the stock LGG2 Camera works with 5.1 aosp?
I'm not 100% sure what your asking but yea the camera works in aosp, unless there's a ton specific bug, but all the aosp roms I have tried worked, I don't know if you mean installing the stock lg camera apk, and seeing if that works but I can tell you from my experience with aosp looking at the scene through the camera just moving the phone around it was jumping all around like it had horrible framerate, I never took a video so I don't know if it took videos like that but wih stock based roms the camera worked flawlessly, every aosp rom I have seen has had some problem (ex. GPS not working, random reboots, loosing lte, no CDMA, camera not as good as stock, freezing up, etc...) I really wish there was a stable bug free version of aosp, I love aosp and the look of it but until they get the glitches/bugs under control I'll stay with cloudy g2 3.3, it is a amazing rom if you like the look of lg ui, it is very fast and no bugs.
But Aosp based roms tend to have better battery life SOT, idle etc. And cloudy g2 3.3 actually gave me less SOT than LS 4.4 even. And its Lp 5.0... so it heats up quite alot but that can be fixed with custom kernels (atleast for me). But when Cloudfa releases Lp 5.1 stock cloudy rom for G2, it will be super. Cheers m8
Hi everybody,
as I'm new to all these flashing custom ROMs stuff, I would like to get answers to some questions concerning Resurrection Remix and the OnePlus 3T.
First of all, how stable is this ROM on said Smartphone? Comparable to Oxygen OS? Maybe even better?
Is the camera-quality as good as stock Oxygen OS?
Are OTA Updates provided or do I have to manually update new updates of Resurrection Remix?
Do I have to pay attention to something when flashing it on my vanilla OnePlus 3T (no root, just out-of-the-box)?
Thanks in advance!
The RR rom on the OP3T is awesome. Very stable, more than stock I'd say. Definitely feels smoother and faster. I made the OP3T into a near identical pixel experience (I had one). Battery life anecdotally seems to last longer. Like I said, it's awesome.
Camera is simply not as good and if you prioritize the camera this ROM is probably not for you. Photos are clear when gotten just right and the image quality is there after a separate file you need to flash, plus you can get the stock OP3T camera minus a few features (HDRa) and HD video recording at 60FPS I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But focus and shutter speed suffer, a lot.
I ran into a few apps that would not work properly, like Duo and a few others plus other XDA members mentioning apps don't work. This for me was a deal breaker. Had it not been for Duo, I'd still be on it. My family uses this extensively.
But.... This has to be expected. It's development after all. The customization options are amazing. I really like RR rom on this op3t. I'd say try it out.
RR is my favorite ROM on OP3T - it has tons of features and always works reliable. I update about every two weeks.

I tried today ZeNiTy-Resurrection-Remix-N-[EAS]-[OMS]-[Optimized]-[3/3T] by ZeNiXxX, i think it's better for camera (OOs camera)
Reliable? Yes. As reliable as stock.
Camera? Eh, no. You lose slow motion video, HQ and you kinda lose HDR.
Ota? No. You have to flash. But you don't have to lose your data, you can dirty flash updates.
There are tutorials on how to flash stuff and what to look out for.
With the exception of the camera, the RR Rom is awesome and has tons of customization options. My favorite is the ability to even customize the carrier logo and battery status indicator. Super stable and buttery smooth.
Thanks a lot for your advices! Think I will stay with OxygenOS as camera-quality is pretty important for me.
Camera quality is important to me as well, so I tried out Oxygen-based FreedomOS. It's a great compromise between stock OxygenOS while still having some custom features. You don't get all the customization that you get with Lineage or RR, but you do get a few nice things, plus you can get uninstall OxygenOS default apps if you plan on replacing them with Google Apps. So far it's been my go-to.
I would personally say CM 13 is better than RR, CM 13 is MM based rom and all the apps including xposed are supported and theme engine is also available. unlike RR, camera is also good in CM13, battery life is also excellent about 7 to 9 hours of Screen on Time can be expected. I used RR for couple of weeks, there are of course bugs which will irritate us, you can opt CM13 in my opinion. If you want Anddoid N for the sake of having latest version, you can opt RR.
Hey guys
I currently own a Galaxy S8, but I seriously consider buying the Mi Mix 2 once it will be available
I don't really like big overlays, I hate Touchwiz (or Samsung Experience or whatever), but I'm wondering what about MIUI
So I'm asking you guys the question : What do you think about MIUI ? What are its advantages and its drawbacks according to you ? Why would it be better than an other brand's software ?
Thanks !

The only thing I hate about MIUI is notifications (expand with two fingers, cant interact them in lock screen), besides that I like the design and optimizations, If you dont really care about the notifications handling than you will enjoy it.
Note that now Im using an almost stock android custom rom (ViperOS).
Anyone else ?

At the first I'm in love at MIUI , but in my perspective it's so laggy after learning about RR and custom kernel and tweaking many things I'll not buy devices with no custom development
As far as performance goes, I've always found MIUI to be smoother than custom ROMs. The gap now is almost non-existent, but 4-5 months back MIUI (and EPIC which is a MIUI mod) was quicker. I've never had a phone with a heavy UI like Touchwiz (mostly Nexus/Moto) so I can't really compare.
Even when I used MIUI (EPIC), I didn't use any MIUI apps. The Google/3rd party alternatives are all better.
The only feature that I'm aware of that MIUI has that others don't is Second Space, which allows you to run two separate versions of any app. Maybe others have it and I've never noticed. It might not even be something you'd use anyway. Some nice features are swiping down to hide the nav bar (frees up more space, although I've heard this has been tweaked in MIUI 9, and not for the better) and quick ball in the nav bar (like a basic PIE control). The themes are pretty good too, and there are a lot of them, but they only apply to the MIUI UI and not the apps themselves (unlike substratum on a custom ROM).
If you go with a custom ROM you will gain a lot but you'll also lose those features, and others like MIUI Cloud backup/Find My Device etc. Since you're talking about the Mi Mix 2, it could be months before custom ROMs are useable as a daily driver anyway so you may have to sit on MIUI for a while at least, even assuming that custom ROMs will be possible (highly likely given other Xiaomi devices).
The major disadvantage, as was mentioned, is the crappy notification implementation. Given the amount of notifications some people can get, it might be a mild inconvenience or a huge pain. There are apps that can mitigate this problem though, like Floatify. It also doesn't have ambient/always-on display. You'll be 'stuck' on Nougat too, so any new Oreo features like PIP (Picture-in-picture) and Notification channels likely won't make it to MIUI for a long time. We're only now getting split screen mode which I had almost 18 months ago on the Nexus 6.
I was primed to get the Mi Mix about this time last year but I waited about 6 months for the price to drop (so I could get the 256/6GB model) but also for ROM development to pick up. I'd recommend the same. Even a year later, how many alternatives are there that have a very large screen combined with high-end specs? Barely any that I can think of, barring the S8+ (6.2 inch, 84% screen-to-body ratio), the V30 (6/81.3%) and the Honor Note 9 (6.6 inch, not yet available).
Personally, I'm in love with MIUI since late 2013.
It's just a complete ROM for me, all features I need are just there and once you start using them it's hard to switch to something else.
I tried many ROM's like RR, CM, LOS, Flyme, etc but always revert back after some time. When using MIUI, I just don't need any 3rd party apps unlike on other ROM's where I have to replace almost every single system app to get functions I need or I get used to. Not to mention that nothing beats MIUI battery life, even with the underclocked kernel on custom ROM's can't beat simple battery saving on MIUI. Performance is the same as I noticed in my daily usage between custom ROM and MIUI, just slightly better Antutu scores on MIUI (if numbers mean something to you).
My suggestion is to try MIUI ROM if you have a chance since usage depends from user to user and it would be silly to say which one is better when everyone has different opinion

Okay guys, thank you very much for giving your opinion !
I had an older phone that had this problem. After I rooted it, it became slower and stuttered. Does rooting the Moto G5s Plus or installing a custom ROM have any impact on the performance?
I guess it depends on the ROM, kernel and settings. For example I have a gs2 running 4.4.4 custom rom that's more stable and with better performance than the stock gingerbread with which came out (also Samsung didn't update it to 4.4.4 because the hardware weren't enough to run 4.4.4), so draw your conclusion

STOCK ROM vs CUSTOM ROM, everyone has different opinions, no one can say what will you like and what you should install. It's your choice for what to do.
If you do install stuff, experience them and decide what is better for you..
For STOCK,
It's developed by Lenovo/Moto officials and by TEAM, the reason why it's STOCK, means it will be most stable.
Many one prefer to use stock rom with root and few additional tweaks like custom kernel / deodexed / debloated. And doing such thing does not affects performance but removing unnecessary apps and stoping them to run in background helps in smooth and better battery performance.
There is XPOSED FRAMEWORK, which modifies device at large level, installing and modification to system such thing can only affects device performance in respective manner of how you use it...
For CUSTOM,
It's developed by TEAM, but maintained by individual device maintainers (which is less in number). That's reason custom roms are buggy at starting, but as time passes, many improvements are made and we will have best custom experience in our device.
Currently i am using AOSP-Extended and it's stable enough for me to use daily..
As i said in first line, everyone thinks different, and this is my thoughts...

I AM using pixel experience with custom Kernel and works better than Stock rom
Related question, not really about slowing down though:
Anyone noticed a worse quality in the picture taken after unlocking their bootloader and using custom ROMs and kernels ?
I'm asking this cause Sony tends to have a weird policy that nice "goodies" are disabled when the bootloader is unlocked (X-Reality not working anymore, picture quality much worse especially in low light conditions/proprietary picture processing algorithm removed, DSEE HX (?) not working anymore and others)
Many thanks in advance

I can see Sony doing that - they have no sense of humor!
But considering stock camera app is simply shyte, anything is better. Google camera does a far better job - under good conditions. Unfortunately those are the only conditions this sensor will take a decent pic in. The usual for a low end sensor/lens setup - decent light decent pics - bad light bad pics. Nothing will change that.
Hey guys. I usually wouldnt have made a thread like this, but honestly, i am getting tired trying rom after rom to find the one that works. I am the sort of guy who switches phones pretty often because i like what Devs at XDA are able to do to customize them. So i have recently started using higher end phones, and coming from mid-rangers i expected awesome performance and lag free experience. My last device was a one plus 2. After switching to mi5(which has a better processor), i have been experiencing lag spikes with rom. None of them work perfectly smooth, I would go to the depth of saying that my old Nexus 5 provides much smoother experience compared to this. Surprisingly, this is not the case with miui. The stock Miui rom aswell as my current rom(cpMIUI) are both super smooth(as is expected out of a sd820). I am stock android guy though, also google camera port doesnt work on miui. I just wanted to confirm if it was just my unit or is everyone facing similar issues. Buying a sd820, i dont expect something as simple as pulling down the notification bar to be laggy. Also. this issue is more prominent with Lineage OS and Lineage OS based roms. I found AOSP rooms to be generally smoother, but still, laggy enough to notice. This really wasnt the case with OP2, and i honestly wouldnt have switched if it wasnt for the amazing camera of Mi5(only with GcamMod ). Any help would be much appreciated. PS: I have tried custom kernels, even those which overclock this sd820 to normal frequencies. But no luck . I really dont have the budget to switch phones rn, and i would like to stick to mi5. Hope someone can help.

Mi devices works better with MIUI... That's just the way it is. Custom rom experience on Mi can't compare with the likes of Oneplus, Nexus, or maybe Pixel...

u can install Gcam in miui just use magisk to root and add camera fix module
Gcam will work in miui9
am using los15.1 and most of the apps freezed now its smooth and giving good battery life
All lags, freezes and scroll stutters caused by kernel. All oreo kernels based on HMP scheduling with perf daemon. And don't know why, but it cant provide smooth FPS while ui drawing (maybe some bug with frequency drops). So, 90% roms based on Oreo will lag while drawing UI all time (you can check it in dev settings > Profile GPU Rendering). Some roms trying to avoid this bug, like LOS, AEXMod with some tweaks in governor. This 2 roms much smoother than other. Or you can change default governor from Interactive to Conservative (root required). It brings massive boost on ui drawing smoothness. Or try something based on EAS kernels (Purefusion, JDC AOSP). But these roms based on 8.0 Oreo.

Thanks for a constructive reply. I am not using LOS because of the fingerprint delay bug, also i found LOS to be the laggiest of them all. But i recently installed Cosmic os 8.1, and this one seems to be rendering fine. It is using the priima kernel i suppose, with interactive governors and cfq for io scheduling. Also, i just checked, it has oc'ed the sd820 to normal frequencies (2.15 and .16)
Also, i have tried Floppy kernel, based on all 3, Google, linaro and ubertc. Also, i tried switching the governor to zen(the one i am aware of thats made to make your ui smoother). This issue is not only persistent with oreo roms, but also the nougat roms. But i have been happy and impressed by cosmic, but i will keep on switching roms and hopefully would be able to provide some feedback to the XDA community.

Absolutely yes! People were blaming me also for using antutu, because I had this doubt, then discovered that the kernel uses a strange sort of cpu scheduler which causes a performance drop of 20/25%, (still can't fix switching performance profile) results were different switching to a custom kernel. I think that people when create new roms they just steal LOS kernel, so that's why this issue occurs in more than one rom.
Anyway I also prefer the stock android camera, and I like to use the "classic" way instead of magisk thing (never liked that), just download GCam, then remove in the framework folder the camera_experimental.jar (or something called like that) and you should be fine, there are some little bugs too but is is usable.

So which kernel are you using rn? Cosmic OS comes with the priima kernel, it is the best experience i have had by far. Glad to know i am not the only one suffering stutters, but also kinda disappointed to see this happen.

Yea, me too, and there were people who treated me like crazy lmao, imo is a kernel scheduler issue, btw Idk why that happens , anyway there are plenty of custom kernels, in particular I used Floppy which fixes the problem.(Still need to tweak some kernel governor settings)

When i said it needs some tweaks, that is because it works in a strange way, the performance profile in the "Battery" section of LOS needs to be set to something higher, that controls the CPU, meanwhile there I also used an app called "Spectrum" that lets you control the GPU performance profile (Even though it should be control CPU), you need to set all of those to "Balanced"

Hello, I have the same problem. My MI 5 only works on miui. Any other newer rom with android Oreo brings me problems, slow looks like snapdragon 4xx. Game performance gets horrible. But they are only in the most recent roms, because in the stable JDC Team 7.1.2 rom it behaves absurdly fluid and fast, in Lineage 14.1 as well. I do not know what causes this but I can not use any more Oreo roms. I prefer Pure Android but can not use the new roms at the moment, I should settle for the nougat or miui roms. Well, I'm not saying that the new roms are bad, the work of the developers is wonderful, congratulations to everyone, but something in the new roms does not behave well.

Try the cosmic os. It seems to be working amazingly well. Also Los never worked for me, full of stutters and the ofc the fingerprint delay on lockscreen issue. Also yeah, jdc aosp should work, in my experiments, all AOSP based roms are working fine, there is some issue with Los kernel, and hence with all roms based off of it.
