So im new to this forum but not to rooting and flashing. Basiclly though im thinking of rooting but not sure there are any stable roms worth flashing and any issues i should look out for. Someone please help me get back into rooting n flashing on op5. Thanks in advance.
Codename Phoenix and Candy ROM are the two most stable and smooth Oreo ROMs that I have used on the OP5. Most custom Oreo ROMs for this phone have bugs, are missing features or don't run all that smoothly. The majority of the Nougat ROMs and kernels for OP5 aren't going to be updated to Oreo because most developers have abandoned the phone since it was only sold for 4 months and unified ROM development for the OP5/5T appears to be impossible. Unless you are one of those people that buys a new phone every year the OP5 is going to end up being a terrible purchase. The Codename Phoenix dev is talking about getting a new phone (definitely not from One Plus) and abandoning his ROM for this device. The dev of Flash Kernel switched to a Pixel 2XL and might also abandon development for this phone. If you use a non-OOS ROM Flash and Blu Spark are the only two custom kernels left that you can flash.

After a recent disaster with my S5 I replaced it with a Note 3 n9005.
Am very happy with the phone but it has so much potential to be better. Are there any 7.1 roms that are actively being updated and is there any chance of official builds any time soon.
I would love to put 7.1 on this phone but don't want to get stuck with bugs I have to put up with for extended periods.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Official 7 for Note 3 . No never according to Samsung .

There are always bound to be bugs when dealing with unofficial software like ports or ROMs, they're not perfect. As for an official Nougat release for a 4 year old phone that doesn't even have an official Marshmallow release? I highly doubt it. I would suggest just sticking with stock.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I know Samsung will never upgrade this phone to nougat or above but the custom rom community have done some amazing things bringing the latest versions of android to older phones when their manufacturers stop supporting them to make you buy their latest an greatest phone.
When I asked about official builds I was referring to Resurrection Remix or Lineage LOS 7.1 builds which get weekly updates. There will always be bugs I know but weekly builds help to fix them.

If I may suggest, I would try out a Note 7 port. I know it's not Nougat but in my opinion, Marshmallow with the Note 7 features is just as good and a lot of people have tested them out and are really stable. But as for more Nougat ROMs, RR and Lineage I think are the only options but I haven't tried them myself.
There is an official Note 5 Nougat rom out, so it should be possible to port that. We just have to wait for someone with the knowledge and interest to do it.
I'm running the Note 7 Phronesis Marshmellow rom, and I highly recommend it if you don't want to wait for a Nougat rom.

Thank you am currently trying the Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2 and am liking it very much very smooth and seems very stable.
And if i'm reading the forum correctly there should be a V6 version becoming available in the next couple of days.
thanks for the recommendation this rom will do very nicely until or if someone ports the N5 nougat rom which we can only hope for.
I am wanting to unlock my new moto g5 plus. I have to have it for work so the rom has to be the five 9s. I am not trying to start a word war just a simple question. Yes I have done some searching and so far I have gotten many conflicted statements. I have RETUS on 93-8 build. Any help would be great
What is the most stable and close to AOSP Oreo rom we have?
Also I have a Full Backup of 93-8. If you have TWRP and want to go back to stock just restore. Let it boot. most things didnt work. Reboot into recovery and factory reset I did it X3 just old habit and reboot everything is working fine. will update post with link if anyone is interested
Thank you
P.S. MODS I am not trying to have a best rom thread here. Each rom has features each person wants etc etc. If it starts to get crazy please remove thread.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Now, I'm currently in AOSP Extended and works like a charm, even on camera and the OBB bug that some Oreo ROMs have it's fixed. There's Pixel Experience, but the ROM it hasn't been updated since February; it's really stable but it has problems with the camera in some apps and other small bugs. If you want personalization and stability, go for AOSPExtended. If you want only stability and lightweight Pixel/AOSP alike experience, go for PE or LineageOS (I haven't tried this ROM yet, but it is there). Good luck!

I think AOSP Extended is a good choice.
It's in active development, has the major Oreo bugs fixed, nice features and a good performance.
But it shouldn't be unsaid that I haven't found a custom rom that could hold a candle to stock in terms of battery and stability.
And don't forget that there could be major issues when you want to go back to stock like losing IMEI, 4g or voLTE. Be sure to have a backup especially of EFS.
All custom roms are build without a "real android 8" for Moto G5+ so maybe it could be worth waiting for stock Oreo.

I am trying it now, the only problem I have is since I was on 93-8 there is no full firmware yet. I cant go to 93-4 get invalid everything. So until that firmware is released guess its custom for me hopefully Oreo comes soon so we can get any small issues in Oreo roms ironed out. Deff been a fun day playing with roms
Im using OmniROM for a month or so.
Good battery (from 5am to aprox. 11pm with 2h+ of music listening, and general usage)
Câmera I personally dont use much but works fine.
Is fast and stable nothing to complain about.
Im not using FOR work anymore since I got another job, but I certainly sure if I have to, the phone will work fine.
I've been using nitrogen os for a few months now and never had one reboot and battery is better than stock with my usage.
I thankfully did a full backup before I did anything so I can go back to stock rom with stock recovery
Like the title says, is the original rom good? Or should i go custom right as i boot it 1fst time
It worth it, at least you get the notifications work correctly and shows at the top of the status bar unlike the stock rom..
My advice to you is to istall lineage only, it's the most stable rom so far.
It depends on your priorities, if you want more choice, more control on what apps are pre installed, no bloatware, and more customization options, then that's what custom roms are for. But mind that it comes with lower security, at least as long as the manufacturer updates the device. Because custom roms usually run with looser security settings and features.
does custom roms fix the touchscreen lag on the edges?
Not worth it yet. Wait till official lineage and official trwp are released. More risky to use custom roms whose source codes are not released.

as i've seen and read in the forums, the unoffical lineage rom seems to be very stable already. Which problem do you see in flashing this version now?
My bootloader is unlocked in 3 hours and i want to get rid of this EMUI crap and bloatware

You don't get updates on unofficial versions and it's not as well maintained/supported as name implies. I rather keep bootloader locked and secured, and get almost monthly updates from xiaomi. Until official TWRP and LOS are released, as stated earlier. No need to rush and deal with instability or unexpected problems. I debloat unnecessary apps using SAKI program on stock room without root. I honestly think this is the best path to go for now.
I won't install any custom roms before official TWRP support and official LineageOS ROM support comes. I'd not also unlock my phone's bootloader untill those two thing comes.

I switched to Pixel Exirience rom from the global 10.3.5 and touch latency on the edges still the same.
I don't know what custom rom users priorities are, mine definitely having a smooth and proper working device. Most roms I tested in the past simple but most used features, like the camera, were always a headache. It might make sense for a techie or geek, but for daily use I'd rather debloat MIUI for mind peace...

any of you guys installed xiaomi.eu? seems like the better version of miui IMO.

The Evira Kernel is built into the PE, so i just updated it to the last 1.9 version and did not feel any difference.

If you just want to get rid off the bloatware, just use adb commands. No unlocking and rooting needed
If you got the 3GB/32GB variant. then lineage OS or pixel experience should save you some extra GBs of storage and free you some extra ram (MiUI 10.3.5 uses 1.6GB or something IDLE and leaves you with 20GB storage with stock apps)
It is to early. You have latest version of Android OS on your phone, and Xaomi still give us updates with some new features.
Custom Roms are still developing and have some bugs,so .. I will no rush with installing custom rom yet. Thats my opinion.
When Xaomi stop supporting us and giving us updates,after one year that is sure that will happen,than will custom ROMs will be fully developed..and can install it..
I would like to have custom rom ,and Elvira kernel, I like tweaks and mods from Magisk. But also I want to see MIUI 11 and next Xaomi updates for RN7.
As soon as I could, I unlocked my bootloader and installed AOSP (GSI).
I don't really like MIUI, it has a lot of nice features but actually I don't use most of them.
For me, it's worth.
Hi All,
Coming from one plus family. I'm wondering why there is no activities going on in the development thread? No custom roms no kernels so far..?

If you're a flashaholic this is not the phone for you my friend. The Snapdragon variant has a locked bootloader and even though the Exynos variant can be rooted, there hasn't been any significant development in the past 3 years. Most Galaxy users are fine without root.
There is no need of rooting for samsung users these days.. samsung have given most of the fautures which 1 attained through rooting earlier

I'm not worrying about rooting.. what about updates.. if Samsung decided to stop the updates , is it the end of the phone? I have my one plus one device having Android pie custom rom.. I'm worrying about updates not about the features..

It depends if a dev is willing to make such a ROM and continue updating it.
I'm sure we'll see custom roms for the snapdragon variant later this year.
There is one full custom rom and one magisk mods one already available, the others will roll out like a snowball.
It took more time because of finding a new rooting way on s10/+ but now it's good. On s9 they had stock based roms as well as aosp, just be a bit more patient and you will be happy
This phone is guaranteed two major Updates Q and R , probably we'll get custom ROMs and right now sgr ROMs work with some bugs , but I'm fine with no root and Samsung one ui
There are in s10 thread which are compatible with s10 plus
Hi guys,
I am currently using an iPhone 12 as my primary device and looking for an secondary device.
Before iPhone 12, I was using OnePlus 5T and I used to play around by flashing different Custom ROMs since it had a good community support.
Now looking to buy Poco M3 as my secondary device. The only thing I want from a Custom ROM is pure android with no noticeable bugs.
How is the Custom ROM support for Poco M3? Are the ROMs stable enough to use it as daily driver? If yes, Which is the most Stable ROM as of now.
My decision to buy Poco M3 will be purely based on Custom ROMs availability since I will flash it in the day 1 itself. If no stable ROM is available, I am looking to buy Moto G40 Fusion.
And I can see a lot of threads mentioning Phone Dead/Bricked issues. Does that happen only with official MIUI or custom ROMS also?
Can you guys help me out. Thanks in advance.

well, you are talking about a great phone with good screen and awesome speakers, i am also a poco m3 user so, i might be the best to give you the right answer,
let's begin if you want vanilla android try pixel experience rom but it's unofficial for our device, so i would recommend you dot os official rom, it's fast and beautiful
remember, before flashing any rom read the guide carefully, cause many rom including dot os require you to have certain version of miui to be able to flash bug free.
best of luck.
