Hi guys, I am currently on AOSPA 3.60 ROM and think its a great ROM love the per app control I have and it seems to run very very smooth, I notice little to no bugs.
However I like the all in one style idea that would give me an extra level of customisation by being able to use AOKP and CM tweaks.
But is there any disadvantage of basically having 3 ROM's in one? does this cause issues with overlapping settings? are there more bugs? do things run slower?
Basically tossing up whether I want to stick with PA which is rock solid for me or go to an all in one ROM for those extra settings and tweaks?
Cheers
Chris
I have never had great luck with the roms that combine too many features because they seem to start to lag after just a couple days and some of the settings menus don't work exactly right. You should definitely check it out to formulate your own opinion though.

I've found the best stability in roms that pick a flavor and stick with it, while most do incorporate *some* features from popular roms, the unstable ones tend to be the ones that try to incorporate everything but the kitchen sink.
For example, SlimBean is based off AOSP (android open source project), but does incorporate some things like the kernel from cyanogenmod on certain devices.
the more crap, the more bugs(and chances for bugs).
Thank you guys, I guess I might have to give one a try and if there are to many bugs then revert back to PA
Might be irrelevant or just plain unlucky for me, but with PAC, Revolt, Xylon, etc I've had worse battery than say AOKP or Dirty Unicorns. So maybe battery what with all the extra things having to run and going on would be affected
Speed, meh. All feels the same to me
Bugs, definitely more in the all-in-one's
Stability, depends...

Hi All,
I have flashed a lot of ROMs on my OnePlus X, but every-time I decide either to go back to the stock Oxygen OS or OEM based ROMs such as Flyme/ H2OS or Color OS.
The reason behind is every-time I flash Cyanogen/ AOSPA based ROMs, it doesn't feels as Solid as the stock ROM, looks like something is missing (the UI doesn't feels polished, the colors don't seem punchy).
Everything is cool with Cyanogen/ AOSPA like battery usage, smoothness, customisation etc., but the feel which the stock/ OEM based ROMs have is missing from these ROMs.
You may have observed the differences between the two.
It can be my feeling only, but I wanted opinion from you guys about this.
I'm using OxygenOS 2.2.1-X with Android N-ify and PerfectColorBar Xposed modules.
Thanks in advance.
I think what you are experiencing is a placebo effect that stock is more refined than CM and AOSPA. Regardless of whether this is true or not, I believe that for you it is a placebo effect because if you really do think CM and AOSPA have an unmatured UI, then you should not be using PerfectColorBar because that too has glitches. PerfectColorBar isnt so perfect, in some instances the colour is incorrect. CM and AOSPA are the more refined custom ROMs anyway, which to me seem equally matured in terms of UI as stock. As for some other custom ROMs i do agree they they seem unrefined, such as AICP where the bluetooth share button is coloured in the gallery while the other buttons are in white.
What OP has said is so true, as it is also happens to myself. All this time, I thought it only me that have that feelings.
So, beside the weak LTE signal bug that plagued almost MM ROM for OPX (at least for E1003 in Asia region as confirmed by a lot users already), the half-backed feelings of custom ROM is what makes me always going back to my OOS TWRP backup.

Thanks for your opinion mate but PerfectColorBar is working absolutely perfect for me. I was using FlatStyleColorBar before but that plugin was causing slowness while opening apps, that's why replaced with this one.
Anyways, the placebo effect thing might be true for me
luckily (?!) i only booted oos once to enable usb debugging etc [emoji16]

Well I do agree with OP. You have to realize OOS and H2OS are especially made for oneplus devices. This means full work on this devices. They HAVE to make it look good to sell it hehe.
CM on the other hand is generic for all devices. Also any variant coming from it.
Just with one feature which is tristate key states on H2OS show how specific the ROM was built, on CM I don't use them for nothing at all. On h2os it has a beautiful UI when changing modes, and those modes actually make sense and are useful.
The thing here is OOS is really bad in my opinion. H2os is really really good, but for some reason I keep coming back to AOSPA or Sultans ROM hehe. It's more customizable and has some really handy features.
But with ROMS is all about taste. Each person has a different opinion, so just use the one you like the most and you'll be happy

Yeah, OOS on the OPX feel like a beta test rom. I switched with sultan cm13 three week ago, i'll wait OOS 3.0 but for now i stay on it, it work well enough for a daily use. In fact there are some bugs here and here but it's like nothing compared to OOS 2.2.1-X...

Well, the reason of flashing custom ROMs, mods etc is that you want to take control of your device. You get barebone stock android. You can easily theme, customize icons, fonts etc. Want better sound quality, flash somethings, use greenify with all its feature working etc.
I remember the first time I flashed custom ROM on my note 2, it was kind of shock to me because of so much changes in look, but smoothness was what kept me there. Sometime later, I could not imagine myself going back to TW.
There are some very good ROMs and with proper theming, you can not even tell the difference (except smoothness in Custom ROMs ). Rest is your opinion, if you don't like something, noone can make you .
But the strange thing is, I don't have this kind of weird feelings of half-baked ROM when I flashed Pure Nexus, Cataclysm, or CM variant on my Nexus 5. Even everything seems better than stock ROM from Google.

It may be because Nexus are made to be used with stock android and flashing other custom ROM based on stock android doesn't makes much of a visual difference.
Hello xda members! I upgraded from the moto g 1st gen lord this phone was amazingly supported by developpers so does this OnePlus 2! As the titles says I am looking for the smoothest rom for the OnePlus 2 based on your usage. On my moto g my favorite roms were:
-Resurrection Remix
-Lineage OS
-AOSP
-AOSP extended
I liked RR for the customisation but I prefer smoothness. I wonder what is the smoothest rom for our lovely
OnePlus 2 :laugh:
Thanks!
looking for one as well. I've tried lineage but there are some random reboots (all over the place) so i then switched to halogen OS. Everything was cool and stuff until i tried to use my data. It wasn't working. i therefore went into the apn settings and there i see : "apn settings not available for this user"...
so im stuck with dumb dns changing apps to get it to work.
But overall halogen is way better (more customization, aosp...)

Try XenonHD rom. I use it for a month on my op2 and it performs really great, i am satisfied!
i use in combo with fraco kernel and i stop looking for other roms, this one got me. xD
try mokee os it have amazing battery backup with substratum theme engine inbuilt....its inbuilt app hibernation system Aegis provides better battery backup then other roms...
There's no such thing as the best ROM. It's all from a point of view. You may like a feature that the second guy doesn't making priorities different. Rating ROMs like this can hurt the hard working developers sometimes please refrain
I've tried WAAAAAAAAAY too man ROMs, and I can give a pretty good overview of some of my favs
1) HalogenOS -
Pros: great performance, stable af, updates about every 2 weeks, a focus on stability and bug squashing, extreme battery life
Cons: Not many features, a focus on stability means that features are slow to be added.
2)XenonHD -
Pros: Lineage-based means plentiful features, nightly updates, decent performance
Cons: OTA doesn't support OpenRecoveryScript, updates are extremely frequent (might be a con?), included apps seem to be in a constant state of flux
3) Cosmic OS -
Pros: Features! (like, all of them), fairly stable ROM, good battery life, good performance
Cons: Performance is a bit lacking in comparison to some other ROMs, likely due to the insane number of features

Your ROM sweetie, I like to try them out, and am currently searching for the ROM that is best for me, I don't expect anyone to change their ROM because what I want will be different than what they or their target wants. TBH I am mainly just waiting for Lineage to implement some form of theming, although I am wagering they are going to switch to OMS

No I was thinking myself to slow down. Daily / alternate days is too fast for a grown ROM. Either way; yes they're not gonna implement theme engine in this release probably because after a few months we're all gonna start hyping up for O. Maybe they'llmerge OMS then. Theme engine is probably dead because it's unheard of and OMS is the new thing.

That and the only real benefit to CMTE was that it could be used without root and without reboots, back when it was CMTE vs. Layers, but OMS/Substratum has addressed both of those, and has better performance. The only reason to make a LOS theme engine for 14+ is to maintain fragmentation in the Android theming community. Obviously, this is not a good thing

Try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-customized-lineageos-t3578442
Its LineageOS With OMS and Majisk built in.
Try Roms outside XDA
I found Dirty Unicorns to be the smoothest with best battery backup and with good features..Its the snappiest nougat ROM I have tried till now..and as nearly all ROMs have OMS support, no doubt it also has the required commit ..Haven't found any bugs uptil now..(1 weeks usage)..

Are you seriously, seriously not gonna mention the horrible notification system on MIUI? MIUI doesn't even have single finger swipe to expand notifications. How stupid is that?

Simple Difference in Between
Miui 8 vs Custom Roms i.e~ lineageOS,AOSP
Starting with Miui 8.
Miui 8.2.5.0 has a lot of features.
Features it has with stock are:-
PROS-
1-Copy OTP (Yes because it is so hard to just type the damn OTP by looking at the heads up notification)
5-Inbuilt theme option (Tons of themes) (No match to substratum)
6-Dual Notification Panel option (If only the notification implementation wasn't stupid in MIUI, this would be useful)
7-Fast responsive Stock Apps. (Uhhhh)
7-One hand mode (available in custom roms)
9-inBuilt Cleaner +with Battery Saver (Are you seriously saying a Clean Master + DU Battery Saver hybrid clone is a PRO?)
12-Quickball for quick navigations (RR PIE says "Hi". Hey, that rhymes!)
13-Mi cloud for direct System Data syncing. (Yes, let's give up our data to a random cloud)
15-Lost mode i.e either theft or Lost (Android Device Manager says hi)
16-Special Permission Manager (you mean the one which constantly kills accessibility permissions?)
CONS:
8-Bootloader Unlocking method. (Oh hey, atleast this list isn't biased)
CUSTOM ROMS:
CONS-
3-Bootloops usually occurs. (Only if you don't know what you're doing)
4- Too pure roms like AOSP has least features compared to Resurrection Remix. (Then use Resurrection Remix)
5-Though lineageOS uses Substratum in N builds but yes Substratum isnt user friendly and has minor bugs in it. (Select the things you need and tap "Build and Enable". How hard is it?)
6-Again the problem with some app compatibilities. (What?)
7-Doesnt have features like Copy Otp,Long screenshot, Quickball,Applock in memory,call recorder and many more features that are already provided in Miui 8. (Doesn't need Applock in memory because unlike MIUI, Custom ROMs can actually keep apps in memory)
If you are a Xiaomi user then I must advice you to stick with Miui 8. (I facepalmed so hard, my brain suggested me to flash MIUI for a second here)

What ??
Most of the time (hey, lets say 99.9% of the time) Its the stock builder who prematurely stops development update.
Development of custom Roms, in contrary, continues long after
Aaand he didn't even get my comment hahahahaha
Mwah,
Development is really these days more of the same just another name tag.
Tons of stock roms with tons of the same options ( no offense)
Back in the days every custom rom was really different, other look and feel. New options, new features.
Some roms had even a major ui overhaul.

But now what is your opinion over Todays custom roms.
I have seen so many custom roms with some minor tweaks with base cm or Aosp.
Just change the name make some tweak and then rename it to hydrogenOS or Jellyblast.
I am telling that Miui 8 is best for Xiaomi users.
Atleast i have a Redmi 3s which is friendly only with Miui 8.
No other Roms are stable enough.
Back in 2014 the galaxy y had a taste of custom rom like hyperion,jellyblast, kernel advancement.
Also what about almighty Nexus 5? Tons of Development.
Nope, because I hate bloatwares and spywares. Thanks.
just wanna know what custom rom you guys use as daily driver and i wanna know why, also pros and cons
Try them out. To each their own and some may find this topic rude.

For the first time (since OnePlus 5) I've been happy with stock OOS. Even the Oreo base didn't seem as polished but now I can happily say I haven't felt the need to go to a custom ROM.
The only inconvenience is not having full/proper OMS support, so I have to reboot to see built overlays in Substratum. Other than that I have no complaints.
Honestly all these roms, even w/FP support, are not better than stock OOS.
*None are as smooth
*Obviously none are as stable
*Either a rom is jam packed with features you may find useful, but buggy as hell. Or they are stable and powerful, but the only features are to change the time in the status bar.
*No rom has been able to imitate or even out perform OOS gestures, which surprisingly is pretty important for me.
But if I had to pick one it would be Omni Rom. Most balance of all things.
The new official omnirom is great although I couldn't get microg to work. It is the only ROM that screen casting worked for me.
The stock ROM with XXX script is pretty good.
The ROM I used the longest is carbon ROM.
Best is going to be different for each user as not all users require the same options. Right now I am on omni official although microg doesn't work. Using gapps for the first time in three or five years. Kinda odd using Google apps again.
