a few months ago I tested out some roms but data was a crap-shoot on sprint. I've since switched to RP which is still sprint and want to try out a new rom again. So anyone have opinions on which is working well on sprint?
The best rom for this phone is also the most compatible: The Stock ROM! Just install FrankenClark Kernel and root, it's fast and pretty good on battery.
I don't know why data would be an issue on any ROMs, it shouldn't matter. Are you making sure to change the APN settings? I'm not on Sprint but I've never had trouble with ATT Data on Resurrection Remix (Probably my favorite ROM)
I stopped using RR because the Cyanogenmod base isn't as good on battery life as stock.
Did you end up finding anything that completely works?

AICP on my sprint has been excellent. 4G and all.
I second AICP, on nougat at the moment, but came from Orion OS, which is the best MM ROM I have used on this phone. EXODUS worked for me too, I prefer AOSP based ROMs, as the seem to have better battery life IMO.

Well i no more use cm. Rather i use stock rom. It is stable and we can get all features with xposed and other apps.
I have tried the following
Resurrection remix
Android Ice cold project
CM13
Bliss pop
Liquid smooth
For me CM13 was the most stable but it certainly was not the fastest, event tho in some conditions it performed well, and is the rom that I have had the most experience with. The other roms I listed above were quicker but they were a bit more unstable than cm13 but not to the point of unusable.
And finally I have been testing a new rom called exodus and my experience with this, since the past week is wow, it is the fastest rom that I have come across in terms of bootup time and shutdown, including overall performance when using my galaxy s5, however even tho there hasn't been much in a way of apps crashing I do get the odd lag now and again which is not consistent, but I can see this rom will always continue to improve.
There is another rom that I like to try out and it's called aokp as that claims to have good performance, however i'm not sure of the stability of this.
You should check out the xda channel on youtube, there are quite a few reviews for custom roms that are even available on our device.
I've yet to set-up my new OP5, as i'm still undecided whether to stick with the stock 4.5.4 ROM, or try 1 of the custom ROMs that are currently available.
Who's stuck to stock, and who's tried/trying a custom with a kernel?
Stock ROM = ROM that was supplied with the OP5
Custom ROM = ROM that has been shared on forums by developers. etc.

As off now I am on stock but will surely be going over custom ROM and custom kernel. Custom ROM and Kernel surely gives some extra benefits over stock(battery backup and many other features.)
So just test the phone for any HW defects or any for a week or so and you are good to root.
As far as I'm concerned, stock is a custom ROM. Not sure which option on the poll to pick...

By custom, i'm refering to custom ROMs that XDA users have shared on the forum.

Most of what I needed custom ROMs for in the past can be accomplished with oxygen OS now so I probably wont be installing anything aside from OEM updates until they stop supporting this device, if I still have it at that time. And when I do, it's just to try out whatever the latest OS is so I'm familiar with the new features when I do upgrade.
I think the most I will do for now is root, and TWRP but I'm still up in the air about that.
I think Oxygen OS works really nice at the moment, i will stay stock for now.
Updates will come rapidly from Oneplus thus the custom ROMS are not worth it for me at the moment.
Once Lineage or RR Remix arrives i will switch to custom ROMS
I'm on FreedomOS and it's very faster then original OxygenOS... I like this for now better than the original one
I've had my OP5 since yesterday and it's been fantastic and I haven't felt a need to use a custom ROM at all. I also usually add a custom kernel to I can change sounds and increase vibration sensitivity (may still do a kernel). I'm getting just over 9 hours of SOT with everything stock. I mean hell I used Google Maps today for 1 hour straight and it only used 6% battery!? My Nexus would have lost at least 18-20%.
When it's all said and done, I'm sure I'll get the itch to ROM and kernel this phone, but this is truly the first phone I don't feel a need to right now. Of course I rooted the phone and applied TRWP the first 5 min I had the phone haha. That goes without saying for my root apps like TB, Accubattery and Nova Launcher.
Can anyone check if the jelly effect is still there after they flashed the custom roms?

that's exactly what i would do
I really like the stock ROM. Coming from Samsung and LG phones, the OP5 is already running the type of ROM I'd likely flash to those phones if I could. I did root it though, and I'll likely stay this way unless something really compelling comes up, or OP stops updating it.
Using stock for now. I personally see no point in switching to custom until AOSP/LOS based ROMs begin appearing. It's still going to be Oxygen OS with basically the same features if I'd switch now.
As of now i'm sticking with stock. The phone is still young and i expect software updates to happen more frequently. As soon as the ROM's have more time to be developed and mature and OnePlus slows down the updates I will probably switch. As of now all the ROM's and recovery's are still in development and I am choosing to wait till it smooths out a little.
I have tried AICP, Tipsy OS, Mokee, Lineage, Hydrogen os. I would say Stock is the best. My present setup.
Hydrogen Os 3.5.0
Root via Chainfire Super su
Official TWRP
decrypted
Android o emoji's
A few tweaks.
Enjoying every bit.
May switch if CMTE (CM theme engine) comes to lineage Is, not a fan of the present theme engine.
Rooted, because wanted to get rid of the annoying ads and have some tweaks
I'm on xXx 2.0 Stock ROM and it works great. I will wait until everything is working to move to custom rom.
FreedomOS is a very good rom.
Also with Boeffla, Magisk.

Anyone can confirm if zoom 2x and PhotoEditor, for Camera, are working on CUSTOM Roms ?

May I ask, how is your idle drain on H2OS? What did you tweak to improve battery life?
I'm on H2OS too (so far unrooted), and idle drain is crazy... I even uninstalled Google Play Services (using Yalp Store to get Google Play Apps). Now Android System and Android OS kill my battery haha.
Stock OOS 4.5.6
Rooted with Magisk
Pixel Launcher, Android Messages, Google Dialer
Works great!
Stock rom with dirty core, amazing, while dirty unicorns is not released

Hi guys,
Today I have LineageOS nightly running on my device, but this is second time that my device was bizarre factory reseted when I charge my device.
I like LineageOS but I don't like to lose my data, then I want other Custom ROM that is more stable.
What custom ROM I can use that today is stable and support encryption? Thanks.

In my opinion, rr is the best best for device(if you like customization). InvictaOS great, aicp Rom, aosp extended, for stock rom experience use jx's rom series.
**All ROMs mentioned above are official and are upto date(nougat 7.1.2.)**
Idk if paranoid is available for xt16xx . If it is give a try to it.(latest is 7.2N)

I know there are some common bugs, but I know they'll be fixed soon or later. Meanwhile I just want to try Oreo in my phone with an stable ROM. Thanks in advance!
I bet everyone will name a different rom, but I would suggest Omni Rom, because the developer is pretty quick with fixes. If you don't like Omni, you could try unofficial Lineage 15.1 32bit.
I would definitely not use a 64 bit version, because of the memory leak problems, at least not until we have Motorola's Oreo Kernel sources and drivers.
Personally I wouldn't use any Oreo rom as my daily driver, especially since stock rom has very good performance and battery backup.
I was using AICP but the dev is currently busy with other things, so it hasn't had a working update in a while. RR is pretty good as well. However, if you're not willing to deal with memory leaks, Omni is the way to go.

I used RR for a week, but the memory leaks were just too bad. H e c c, every single time someone would send me something on Messenger and the chat bubble would appear, my phone would freeze. And while it is true that Omni doesn't suffer from memory leaks, I found it very laggy even after trying clean flashes of multiple builds over time. And yes, Night Light and LiveDisplay were off. I was quite happy with Nitrogen OS at some point, but, if I'm right, it wasn't updated in a while. I'm currently trying a clean flash of AOSiP and I am quite surprised, the ROM is extremely fluid and, even after getting all of my apps from RR back up and running, the RAM didn't get eaten up yet. So I would recommend giving it a try, but every ROM has different features, and everyone has different tastes. So you'll need to do some testing until you find one to suit your preferences. Good luck!
