3rd party ROMs now support finger print sensor?

Hello. Back "in the day" all of the available OP2 roms that weren't Oxygen or Hydrogen (-based) didn't have working fingerprint sensors or laser focus or what not.
Has that changed now? When I look at the roms today, I don't see the "no fingerprint..." disclaimer.

LAF and FPS are working on CM13. If it doesn't say not working then they are working.
The FPS is a bit dodgy but I'd say it works 95% of the time.

Well that's good news. Time to finally look for a good 6.0 (+) ROM.

Yeah and it gets even better! After oneplus release their OxygenOS 3.0 we will most likely get an OFFICIAL CM13.
Exciting times for OPT, and therefore the world.

What's the difference between the Unofficial CMs (that are in our Android Development forum) and the Official CM?

Try the Exocus rom 6.0.1 you won't regret it, just awesome.
That is all.

You mean except for the fact that there is no official CM13? ? Well there's Seraphs daily unofficial, but personally I'm running Graraks latest build as that one seems more stable.

Oreo 8.0 Custom ROM's popping up everywhere

As I scroll through everyday threads here on XDA I keep getting amazed how fast the developers are building Shamu ROM's with Google's latest and greatest Oreo 8.0.
So far I have used only SiXROM, versions 1.1 and 1.2 and it has been very good, especially the 1.2 version, which now looks more polished. Force closes are almost entirely gone now (it random rebooted just once, don't know why), and to my knowledge with only the NFC not working at all.
I've seen also (and getting very good reviews by users) that there are a couple of more Oreo ROM's like crDroid (version Beta 2 - 18-Sep-17) and Republic of Madness ROM Oreo (21-Sep-17) with a lot more coming, like PureNexus (I guess), LOS and Dirty Unicorns. And although we are still at early stages, these builds are almost ready to be used day-to-day.
Anyway, just wanted to know from you if you had a chance to use any of these Oreo ROM's for the N6 and what you think of them thus far.
Cheers and keep on flashing.

I'm waiting for PureNexus

I am on Nitrogen O Shamu. Its great.

Although PN is my favorite I just couldn't wait to get a taste of Oreo

I don’t like these kind of polls because then we’re trying to favor one rom over another. We shouldn’t judge a rom based on feedback, because every rom is different. It’s like everyone will have a different opinion.
But anyways, I’m waiting for a stable build, I know these devs are doing good work but patience is a virtue.

I don't think we are judging which rom is superior over the other here. We are basically discussing the kind of Oreo roms people are using and their experiences with them.

definitely waiting for a stable build

Using Nexus 5x since my Nexue 6 is cracked. I can say that although Nexus 5x is officially supported and "more stable" Shamu runs Oreo like a champ and is actually faster. My Nexue 5x is constantly freezing up. Can't wait until my girlfriend's iPhone gets returned so I can enjoy Pixel XL.

What About GApps?
So far I've only tried S.i.X's first Oreo build, it was looking pretty good then and it's likely gotten jmuch better. Not only waiting for more stable build, but I want GApps, I use OpenGApps. My shamu is my daily driver, I travel a lot, and I use it a lot so it's gotta be stable. Though I usually keep a copy of a good stable release build at all times in case I run into trouble and need to get things working fast. Most of my favorite devs are building Oreo for shamu so I'm sure there'll be some cool stuff happening in the next month or two. I can wait. I think Carbon ROM is building Oreo too and I'm also curious to see what OctOS might do.

I've checked before but I don't think there is one. It is like a continuation inside the 7.1.2 thread. Maybe because is still in the early stages of the development.
Anyway, if you didn't know, it starts from here:

Waiting for a stable pure AOSP rom without any additonal options and gimmicks, I don't care about and don't want such nonsense, I just want the vanilla 8.0 experience.

AOSP ROM major bugs fixed.

I've seen the custom aosp roms for the G6. Great work Devs but one thing is surprising, Has nobody tried fixing the major bugs? Camera and microphone. Those are major parts of a ROM and the LG G6 IMO hasn't had a fix since every custom rom was released. I'm not a Dev so I don't know how it's done but I feel the devs can give answers to this.

Devs, work extremely hard, to give support away for free, when THEY HAVE TIME.
Oreo is next on deck, be patient, or don't yourself.
Try Dirty Unicorn, it does not have the issues you speak of on the US997.

As custom ROMs only came out a couple of months before Oreo and with Oreo now being out then they won't fix any Nougat issues. My guess is that Oreo ROMs will get these issues fixed.

ParanoidAndroid vs PureFusion for OnePlus 3T???

Hi,
After my personal research I have narrowed down 'my' preferred roms to these two roms,
ParanoidAndroid by @TheCrazyLex and team
PureFusion by @INT3NSE07 and team
Please discuss and help users to understand the better ROM for their devices and I think it will be more beneficial to understand how these roms are better than stock OOS too.
Thank you both the teams and all wonderful @devs of "all roms"

Nope, and actually none yet...
but you can share your views as said in the OP like
-camera quality(low light)
-network stability
-CAF based or ...? whats the advantages etc.. whatever you know and feel like sharing it here...
-RAMconsumption
-Charging stability
-System fluidity/stability "after long time"...
-substratum support
-call/music quality
-idle battery drain

with me viperos is best rom for 3T

Ok, so Dirty Unicorns is a AOSP/CAF based rom has all the features that you would expect from a custom rom. Every thing works solid.
But the most distinguishing thing for me is this rom supports fully working OOS camera. Yes, fully working which i have never come across in any other roms so far.
You can download the final nougat build from here as the developer has already started work on Oreo. I'm sure you wont be disappointed. Many people dont know about the rom because they dont have a xda thread.

You already have it narrowed down to 2 ROMs. Just flash them both, try them for yourself, and see which you like better. In the hours you waited for responses to this thread, you could have already done this, and made the decision on your own.
It's pointless asking strangers (who have different preferences and usage patterns) which is better. In the end, what you think is "best" probably has little orno bearing on what others think/prefer.

You exactly had same preference as mine..I prefer PureFusion as there is active community who listens to you and provide necessary fixes at earliest...PA is smooth too and has excellent battery life...

Yea, I have already joined that group and even enjoying it
but I think I opened this thread with other intention and "I think" people are not getting my point
my point here is this
say when you compare stock android(AOSP) vs say MIUI (heavily modified AOSP with bloatwares)
so most of people know this and will choose AOSP for good performance
NOW, PF vs PA both are AOSP/CAF based roms, so what "you guys" think(or have experienced or I missed) what are the main points which anyone of these ROMs have over each other?

As a long standing paranoid user I can just recommend this ROM again and again. Everything works, you basically never encounter a bug and you are not swamped with useless features. The battery life hasn't let me down so far and paielred with the modded gcam you can get photos comparable to stock oxygenOS (maybe even better)
#StayParanoid

I would suggest AOSPA Extended over PA

If you want that everything(i mean everything) is working and no fc:s, go Paranoid. I get almost stocklike feeling using it. Customisations are minimal. My stream provider app is not working on custom roms and that is deal breaker for me most of the times.
OT. OOS is light and good stock. You almost dont want to flash custom roms. Novadays i prefere stable beyond customisations. (too old?)
PS. I dont have any experience of AOSPA Extended

I'd disagree as AOSPA Extended isn't what PA is all about. PA is all about refinement to the last little detail. If you have PA and tell someone that this is the stock system, nobody would think otherwise (except us people who know XDA)
That's the beauty of it. You don't have many features, but the ones you have make perfect sense and are implemented so seamlessly, that you could miss it for a stock Android feature.

I tried previous build of this and haven't found any rom downloading this now.

I've actually found the last Arrow Oreo rom to be surprisingly stable and stock-like. It's what I imagine the device COULD have been like stock. I also dont like roms that veer too far from stock and this is what I've settled on.
Still can't beat stock battery life though. None of the customs can. Now that Oreo is out and the kernel has been made open source, I was really hoping we'd see something come out that was closer to the performance of stock, but it last I checked most efforts were on experimental Pie development rather than perfecting what we have.

Yeah, i like that one but i found some bugs and it has quite a lot of features that i don't really need
I would like a completely AOSP ROM with the sqiared QS/dialogs but guess we won't see one since there is no AOSP maintainrr for our device

Curious, what bugs did you find?
Mine has been been Rock solid, only issue I've had is the nav buttons don't rotate with the screen when in landscape. But I can live with that. Other features are that I didn't want (like tap to wake) you can disable. It feels stock to me, I can't imagine anything more basic than this that wouldn't be leaving something out.
