Has anyone successfully been able to get Half Life 2 or Portal to be able to run on Remix OS and if so would you be willing to share how you achieved it?

NEED rom Recommendation Battery+Performance+Customization (if possible)
Doesn't matter if its oreo or pie based
Currently On Stock Oreo January Security patch
Performance is Not Good,Battery hardly survives
3hrs on screen Time
3 hours screen on time - battery needs replacement. Its just 10 bucks. Get a new battery for 10 bucks and swap it or get used to run everywhere around with a powerbank connected to your phone.
I got 2 days with fresh battery and latest stable LineageOS image clean installed (with ./flash-all.sh and TWRP)

Alright, so i figured it would be easier to post via my computer rather than my phone.
TLDR : If you don't want to read all of this then stick with 8.1 roms for the best battery life and no issues. Cr droid and Resurrection Remix both posted their final 8.1 builds and both have run flawlessly for me. The same goes for AICP and AFAIK they are still merging up stream changes though minor with their weeklies.
As far as 9.0, we do not have official support, so it's still being worked on to get the best experience/no issues. AICP 9.0 has worked out the best for me with 9.0 then followed by Resurrection Remix.
There is a huge thing you need to be aware of if you're not already, that being our 9.0 roms currently use two different types of encryption. AOSIP, AICP, Resurrection Remix, CR Droid all use full disk encryption. (FDE) which is the same encryption we have always used. For that you just use the offical TWRP. All of the 9.0 stock roms currently are using file based encryption(FBE) and for that you need to use a specific TWRP that was made for it, and if you are currently on FDE (which you are) you need to format data after flashing the rom, meaning you will WIPE ALL OF YOUR INTERNAL. IF you decide to go back to an 8.1 rom, or try one that uses FDE, you will need to do the same process. Switch back to the offical TWRP, and format data after you flash the rom. If you go to FBE and stay on it, then you do NOT need to format data/switch twrp going one from FBE rom to another FBE rom, or updating the current rom.
So when choosing what to flash, you need to read the OP of each rom and know which encryption it uses, or it will not boot. Roms that run FBE AFAIK always have the twrp needed linked in the OP.
With 9.0, as i said, it is still a work in progress since we have lost official support. So if you read the threads some people are reporting issues with calls, Volte, issues with whatsapp etc.. So read the threads at least the last 15 or so pages to see if people are currently having issues. Like i said previously i could tell you to go flash x rom, because it works the best for me. But then you have issues because you use whatsapp and can't send voice messages or w/e and i don't use it. With people using the device for different reasons, you need to take time to see what works for you versus just a one word answer that will work for you.
A lot of people are having issues with 9.0 because of battery life, but I do not see a huge decrease in battery life, but i don't use battery killing apps like face book, whatsapp, or play games or anything. If you really are only getting 3 hours SOT you might want to see what is using your battery via better battery stats or gsam, because it's possible apps could be doing it, and no rom will change that. If you find out that no rouge apps are really killing your battery, as was just stated, depending on how old the device is, you might need a new battery. This phone is a good device but they used pretty ****ty components on it, thanks China. I myself have not had battery issues but i bought my device like three or four years ago, some devices are older.
Anyways, that's about all i can really offer for advice, i don't spend nearly as much time on this forum as i used to because i end up getting into confrontations with people that spread misinformaation, or refuse to follow simple courtesy that are not rules such as asking for eta's etc..
If you end up having any questions i might be able to answer, send me a PM. It might take me some time to respond as i don't use the app as much as i used to, but i'm always willing to answer even the dumbest question when asked via private message.

Hi Lawlrus, I'd just like to have a stable rom. Like you said 8.1 rom might be my best choice, but RR has stopped updating the 8.1 version so what I worry about is it's lacking security patches.
So would you suggest some roms that's stable and and getting updates as well ?
What I might need is :
1. dark theme 2. night light (blue light filter) 3. probably fling nav bar
So the question is this. I'm running LineageOS 15.1 and I wonder if it is worth it to update to 16? Is there any benefits? What would be the drawbacks? I do have a lot of third party syncing I would rather not have to do again and installation of apps, but if there is some serious benefits of upgrading I am willing to make the sacrifice.
Thanks.

Honestly it's not really an upgrade right now. As long as you are on the latest unofficial 15.1, that's the best LOS that you can get at this time, because 16 hasn't had any development for some time.
I to am considering upgrading to Lineage 16 but its really bad, I have an extra axon 7 to test on and the upgrades using my main device (RR6) data has been horrible. Only liquid remix rom has been good (more stable & usable). I am still testing to find a pie rom that beats RR6. The search continunes, I want it to be lineage 16 but so far its not.
@swehes: If I were you I wouldnt bother with 16 until it at least gains official status. Right now it is unofficial for the A7. And for me personally, no official Xposed for Pie on the horizon, so no upgrade.
I don't care much if it's android 9 or android 5. I just want the maps to work and perform basic functions, calls, gmail, youtube, music. No gaming
I have come across the 'LiquidSmooth' Rom on youtube which runs andoird 4.4.4. I am wondering if there is any newer android version that is also fast and doesn't drain the battery.
Thanks
You can try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3875899
uses android pie. it's the most stable for pie. there are also some efforts for android 10, but the stability for that is more of an alpha.
use twrp 3.2.3 to flash.
If you don't care for pie, you can use ressurection remix Nougat?
I don't think RR supports oreo
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-oreo-list-supported-device/
here is a brief guide
https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-redmi-note-3-nougat-2/
generally speaking, you want to use as latest android as possible but is stable for your device
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
Reason being, you need the security patches, if you want as secure as possible an android device, so it doesn't get hacked, or get malware due to vulnerabilities existing on an older android

I'm testing several ... lineage OS 14.1 on antutu gets 39,585 Resurrection Rmx gets 40,696 I have downloaded RR here, in XDA, I quite like it, I have only tried those two. Also the interface in RR seems to me more attractive along with the pixel launch.
Hey, have my old lg v500 that was getting too boggy to use, and couldn't do some of the things i want anymore due to very old os version. I would like to re do it so my kids can use it for simple games and coloring but family link won't let them sign in because it's older that 7.1.
Whats the easiest/best/'stable' rom i could flash to it so can sign them in thru family link and manage it without it needing constant hand holding/tweaking of the rom?

Hi all,
my OnePlus 2 is currently running a very old version of LineageOS 15.1.
I am looking to update and found that besides the Official Lineage 17.1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-17-1-for-oneplus2-android-10.3969619/) a well maintained Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 with latest security patches (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...us2-android-8-1-0-oreo-february-2021.4167561/) exists.
Does anybody have recent experience with both ROMs and can shed some light on how the tow compare or maybe even give advice which one to pick?
I am mostly looking for a stable, bug-free as possible experience as the phone will be used by someone who doesn't want to configure around with the phone all the time.
From reading across the threads, it seams like there are more bug-related discussions in the 17.1 Official ROM.
Thank you!
If phone will be used by someone who doesn't want to configure all the time
I say lineage 15.1 would be good
As you know 17.1 is still on nightly
