Point is that its a pain to sort through all pages and links, and a bit confusing to find the latest build/ least bugs/ patches etc. IMO I think OP should update his first post accordingly.

yeah, I think it's much better to open a thread for each ROM. It's a huge mess and often you don't know to what ROM the comments refer to.
btw, is this rom multi-language?
And what does "quite stable" mean?

I recommend flashing this rom. It's way more solid than the miui dev roms.
+1 for having a new, separate thread to discuss this rom specifically. Not sure why that guy is complaining.

Last, 7.12, global stable rom is solid like a rock, running it for 3rd day. Xposed works as well, only modded , not usual one. So double check before writing.

Looks like it is Multi-Language.
All these custom Roms are pretty similar. Made by Chinese Dev "bule" with camera fix by Russian "nofearnohappy" from 4pda.

The miui rom keep disconnect and reconnect me when im on wifi and its really annoying cuz im playing online game so yeah custom rom for me

Yes.

What about the mic issues? In MIUI it was the case when recording suddenly switched to the noise-cancellation mic and it causes a lot of troubles during the call.

It's the moderators job to say that, who gave you the right to jump on a random thread and start ordering people what to post?

Spurious processes running in the background.
What is system server running in the background, there seems to be a few extra processes running not in the official cm12.1 i was running on my s5 before i bought the note 2

Idk, u can try removing them with titanium backup

Wow glad I finally decided to check back to see some more roms for this phone. I had been using one of the first aosp roms for this phone without vibrate. While it was working fine, I did miss the vibrate function. Checked back and saw this one and it looked pretty damn good. Installed it with no issues at all and so far it is working perfectly.

Can't connect to web with data connection. Only WiFi.

I'm kind of surprised this thread did not get any bigger. Seems a lot of people have overlooked a really good rom. I've been using this rom for 6 months now and I still have 0 problems with it. Don't know how much longer this phone is going to last but it's still chuggin along. Did have to finally replace the battery as it developed a bulge in it (got this phone when it first came out so it's been while). Other than that I'm good. This rom is solid.

MM Android 6.0.1 Ho do you find with the new hydrogen ROM?

Do you find any bugs or improvement?
I've never installed any hydrogen ROM (always oxygen) but i'm curious to know if MM is more fluid than LP.
Does doze works?

Well, I've tested it. I can say that the Fingerprint is a huge improvement compare to OxygenOS' one. For the rest of the ROM, it seems to be pretty solid and smooth. I don't tested it more than 20 minutes (really don't like HydrogenOS..), but yeah, it seems to be a good improvement compare to OxygenOS in general. But I've had some troubles going back to OxygenOS, so if you want to test it out by yourself, be sure TO BACKUP EVERYTHING important into your PC (or out your phone).
But yeah, I hope OxygenOS will be as fast and stable as HydrogenOS is.

Here's hoping. I just can't get used to H2OS any time I've tried it. I guess I'd still rather use something closer to stock Android, even if it doesn't perform as well!

But if you change hidrogen launcher (with nova or GEL) doesn't seems like a vanilla ROM? Are there other changes from Oxygen over the quick settings and the launcher?
p.s. is only in english and chinese?

yes, only 2 language
the difference are in, launcher, notification, quick setting, different swipe (left for close app o erase notification, right for open notification or lock app, so you can't kill it in multitasking)

I've been running it for a couple of days. First thing I did was to remove some of the Chinese stuff. Second was to change the launcher.
There are fewer options for customization, probably because MM is new to the opt, and that its beta software.
The thing I miss is the automatic activation of do not disturb from the cm builds, not a deal breaker. There's no dark theme, but layers manager seems to do the trick.
It's fast, FP works better than any lollipop rom I've tried and at par or better with the FP on iPhone.
The only problem I e noticed with camera is occasionally it's slow to respond, possible due to doze, also the audio level seems to vary when recording video.
I didn't notice smart lock, but my email server prevents me from using it anyways.
The sound quality from the speaker seems clearer.
I've always had poor battery life battery is much improved, and it got better when I removed Facebook, this is subjective as I haven't tested it out much.
Some of the settings are hard to find, but it a learning curve.
Wifi will drop when doing a soft reboot, for theme changes, and it won't reboot into recovery with flashify, or reboot at all with xposed, again no big deal. Cycling wifi on/off in control panel brings it back I've occasionally lost the 4G/3G indicator, but data is still active, again cycling data on/off brings it back.
A few xposed modules won't work with mm, but that's kind of DUH, they aren't updated. I'm impatient for "alert slider" to get an update, as the flashlight on is very useful to me. I haven't installed many modules as they all are for lollipop. YouTube background playback works.
LTE seems to work, but it says 4G, I can use either sim and get LTE, something I missed on any other MM rom.
I did lose my twrp, but I flashed it over adb, and it now working with power and vol+

I installed kingmericans hos today. Like everyone has noticed FP is blazing fast. Rest is more or less the same as LP hos. A few lags here and there but it's definitely way better than OOS. Even I CNT get used to hos. I revert back to vanilla android eventually but I'm glad at least one plus got one of their ROMs to be nice.

I found it fast and stable. Great job, I was happy in lollipop, now I'm 10x times happier with this device even we don't have custom kernels yet. (Of course nobody will work in a kernel for a leaked beta)

Not anymore, you can swipe both sides to erase notification or recent app. That thing was on lollipop h2os.

For me was terrible. Now I clean flash it again and it looks better, I will test a few more days. Now I have 3h screen with maps 40m (GPS), WiFi and 4G, and 47% left.
I should erase logkits and all that stuff. I don't do it because I have done it before (before 2nd clean flash) and i had terrible battery life.

I used the leak for 2 days had a hard time coming back so i wouldnt recommend it....

Lets just wait for the stock oos, its gonna be a great update

Using Kingmercians Hydrogen OS and with Google Now Launcher it is really quite amazing. Sure, it isn't as good as Oxygen, but it is Marshmallow and that alone makes it worth it. You can customize Hydrogen OS to be perfectly OK and while Oxygen is indeed preferred I'd rather use this until Oxygen comes out and then just install Oxygen, it's not like it is hard to switch ROM's.

Well it's butter. Can't stand OOS after this. Xposed works so customization galore. Of course battery is much better. Heck even Viper works. Finally OP2 works.

H²OS MM <3
Hey !
I just give my personal opinion.
I find this first beta v1.0.2 & TWRP 3.0.0 by Kingmercians incredibly robust and fluid.
The FP sensor is a marvel and is faster than the iPhone 6 Plus ! ;p
In addition it consumes nothing with Servicely ! And the best part about it is that the power save mode is 100% lag free !
I tried to return the phone in all directions, with Xposed v80 where I encountered some problems with Gravity Box...
Especially the percentage of battery level that does not stop to make small jumps. If I put the default settings in Gravity Box and puts the battery percentage from the system menu, it disappears in seconds...
(So I deleted Gravity Box and everything is back to normal when you reboot.)
If not except it Locale More works very well too. (For me it's in French !)
One last thing if I had the choice the first time I used the Oneplus 2 to change the preinstalled ROM (OOS), I would do it again when we see H²OS is its superb IOS like interface.
At any point of view I prefer H²OS.
Do not forget this is a beta, some bug not very important, works better than OxygenOS 2.2.0, there is no doubt.
Peace.

What ROM and Kernel for best battery life

What ROM and Kernel is recommended for best battery performance (G950F)?

I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.

I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try, just downloaded.
I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

When you open substratum and then it's settings, do you see sungstratum listed there (like in my attached picture)?
My issue was I was using Titanium backup to restore it and substratum, but fully uninstalling them both (and the Swift Black theme) and clean installing them from the play store again, and rebooting, made it all work

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.

Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.

The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.

That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers

Rom better than oos

Is there any rom out there better than stable in terms of performance and stability

Better? Probably not. Custom ROMs are about features. That said they can be just as 'Stable' and 'Perform' just as well in some, if not all, cases

A rom similar to stock would also do the job with no bugs

I gave up on custom ROMs once I got the op5. It feels like a phone with a stable custom ROM without the occasional bugs I always had with custom ROMs.
My second phone is an HTC one m8 with a custom ROM and despite picking a stable ROM it's having issues with installing new apps lately.
I've gotten tired of the custom ROM thing and just want a phone with a stock like OS that always works and I feel like I finally got that with stock oos

Yeah I've been flashing custom roms for almost ten years but I have no reason to do it on OP5.

There's no difference between stable and open beta in terms of stability or bugs. Different/other features, but no bugs. Stability is the same.

Nope. Nothing can beat oxygen os. My advice, stick to oxygen os.
My setup -
Open beta 19.
Magisk 17.1 - adaway - Viper4android - youtube vanced - Google sans font - Google camera.

OOS for the win.

for now , I agree.
But in few years, when OP will drop OP5 support, this thread will be helpful.
Just like the OP1, I was looking for a stable nougat rom, and from what I read, even lineage wan'snt ''that stable''. I went for the SlimRom 7.x, but even that, some apps crashs.
Anyway, for the OP5, got with stock OOS rom, its updated to the latest (or almost) stable android version.

I don't know about it being the most stable...
Bluetooth has been broken for me for five months and seems with the release of 5.1.5 there's been a huge increase in the number of users complaining of Bluetooth problems on the OnePlus forums.
Contacting OnePlus support has been useless so I'm going to start trying custom roms in the hopes I will get working Bluetooth again.
On a previous phone (I can't remember if it was the LG G4 or Galaxy S4), there was a noticeable camera quality drop when you moved to a custom rom, do OP5 custom roms experience this behavior or can I still expect the same photo quality?

I have actually downloaded all the files (hopefully) that I will need to root the phone in another year or 2 when support is dropped and it gets way behind in updates.

Sounds awesome. I'm on Pixel Experience right now, but will definitely try this.

Can support this as well. While the Bluetooth issue sure sounds like a bummer I'd really try to get OOS working.
I went to using custom roms shortly after getting the phone as well, since it was always the superior option with my previous phones, but stock is really just damn good, hands down.
With all the good the things about this phone, the software is definitely the best imo

I've never noticed any Bluetooth issues with mine in the year I've had it so far. It's stock, never even rooted it. Only ota updates and it's never been factory wiped yet. So it's obviously not affecting everyone. I haven't noticed any posts about it on here but I haven't been on OnePlus forums in a long time.

My wife and I actually went from having occassional bluetooth issues connecting to our cars to it being rock solid a while back, probably the same update. Bluetooth between cars and phones has always been a mess in my experience, I've always assumed the cars aren't following the BT standards properly so the device manufacturers have to play around trying to find the balance between which cars to get working and which might break.

I drive a 1984 car so my Bluetooth is only really used with my tile keychain so I can't lose my phone or keys and occasionally for music but I usually use the headphone jack plugged directly into my stereo for better sound quality.
Even the work trucks I drive don't have Bluetooth (2005 and 2013 Silverado).

For me the main reason to switch to LOS is the system profiles. I haven't found a similar simple solution to activate a hotspot when my OP5 connects to my Car Radio.
I guess you can do the same with Tasker, but it seems much easier to me to just use the system profiles in LOS.

Finally decide to use 2XL as my android device, can you recommend me the best ROM?

Since I am the user of a double device (Android&iOS), the iOS device is easy to decide, but for Android device, I just change a lot. I concern about the camera, battery as the key elements but not so important in terms of the screen. After switching S8-Mix2S- S9 -pixel3, I decide to embrace 2XL again because I really like the snappy stock Android and cannot bear with any other OS. Now I want to ask you guys, which ROM is the best, is that Android Q or P or O? I really don't want to waste of time to find test each ROM so please tell me directly which one is best in your opinion, thank you!

P works best.

I am a fan of the bootleggers rom. I use it as a daily driver but pixeldust and havoc are also solid choices. Android p for all of them with latest security patch.

In my case I roll with rooted android P + Swift black substratum theme to make it amoled-friendly.

sorry mate, it that you mean you just use stock Android Pie, not the custom ROM?

Thank you for your advise, I will try then~

Right now it's hard to find a problem with any of the Roms.
If you like close to stock there's
-ABC, DU13, AquariOS, StatixOS,
Then there's kitchen sink Roms
-RR, CrDroid, Havoc, Liquid, Bliss, AOISP,
I would try them all and see what you like
One thing I noticed is i get a little bit better battery life using quickstep launcher vs lawnchair.

DU is the most stablest ROM, but it it lacks most features than the other AOSP ROMS. FYI, they group is quitting when Q comes out.
https://dirtyunicorns.com/2019/03/15...and-some-news/
So what’s the news?
A lot of our developers to include myself have been doing this custom ROM thing for a while now. Some of us as early as the ICS days. The leadership in DU has decided that it time to call it quits. We have been doing this for a while now and have nothing to prove. Our Android P builds are as good as they’re going to be, as you can tell and we figured we end things on a high note. Things are going very well but is time to move on. At the end of Android P, the project you’ve all come to love or maybe hate lol will dissolve. Our developers are free to do what they want to do but I suspect most will continue to kick ass and take names elsewhere for other projects.
For myself, I will pursue making a name for myself over on Twitch. Is something that I’ve wanted to do for a while now but just never had a whole lot of time or even space on my computer to do so. With DU in the rear view mirror, I believe I can give it my all. If nothing else, I can have some fun with that ?
Our Github organization will stay up as a reference for any developers that would like to carry on a similar project and/or port any of our work forward to future versions. However, our Discord server, Twitter account and other accounts that we used to communicate with our base will be shut down at the end of P.
We like to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors throughout the years. Is definitely been a good experience and we wouldn’t have done it any other way because we did it our way! Thank you again!

Than you sir, I will try to find those ROM!

Another vote for Bootleggers here. However, there is no such thing as “the best ROM”. It all depends on what features you want, and the overall feel/look you are most comfortable with. The best thing to do is try one for a few days, then try something else and compare. Soon you will find one that hits that sweet spot, and that will be “the best ROM” for you.
Btw don't judge any ROM solely on the thread activity (or paucity of activity). Happy users don't post issues

Thank you, mate, I've tried the Havoc ROM for 1day and the battery life just amazing! Indeed the system is very smooth and snappy, I like the animation of it when open app and go back to the home page. My best concern is battery life, then fluency，I don't really care about other things.

I am in the process of getting a pixel 2 xl as well... from my reading, active edge is now working on custom roms, and camera quality is the same as stock roms?

Yes to both, to a certain degree for question 1. Check the rom description in the OP of what rom you like to know if AE is working :good:

Finally I choose AEX..

There is no difference from stock to custom ROM in photo quality.
