Which ROM? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I want to install a custom ROM on my OnePlus 5. I want it to have a lot of customizability, but I also want it to be really smooth, with great battery backup.
I was searching for a ROM, and I found 3 that appeal to me:
xXx NoLimits
OmniROM
Resurrection Remix
Which ROM out of these is the best (I know that's subjective, but I would like to know your opinions). And I heard that Resurrection Remix doesn't have a great battery backup. Is this true?
I'd also like to know if you use any other ROM, which you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Firstly Every rom has its own drawbacks .
secondly if you like stock experience and with a load of customization then go for ressurection otherwise aosp extended liquified but if you like to have OOS like experience the xxx will work for you.

Resurrection is pure stock with Customisation and the ROM lacks features like Gaming mode and some other OOS features and the most importantly face unlock .No limit is based on OOS but many users claim sometimes they got bootloops after flashing and you will suffer with the quality of photo OOS camera Clicks .
I will suggest No limit in comparison with Camera M mod and Portrait mode enabled G cam mod .

@RobertD. Please use existing threads for discussion https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/how-to-auto-loudspeaker-call-t3755436 you won't find answers about your question, only suggestions based on everybodys usage behavior hence its different to yours and your purposes so you need to test it on your own.
Everybody has to find what he's searching for.

@RobertD
There is no right, wrong, best, worst, it's all subjective, instead of getting someone else to do the legwork for you, download a bunch of ROMs and see how it goes.
Personally I use no limits, reason being is it's stability, latest features and thr ability to mod and theme as it should be, performance and stamina is also top notch, I don't think I'm alone in thinking that..
But again, that depends.

Any non costumized ROM
Hello, is there any ROM only without bloatware, prerooted and stable? The thing is, most of custom ROMs always has some wi-fi bug, bluetooth, whatever... besides some are meant to look like S8 or other changes in the theme... that's my personal/business day to day phone, I'm a little bit old now to make experiences with different ROM, in the past it sounds good to have a phone all costumized, I had time to reinstall original ROM when it bricks, I still remember my first phone Motorola C650, oh that was a fight to get space to store one complete MP3 song, now I just want/need performance and stability, I know this forum is supposed to people help each other with bugs, improvements, sorry if I'm being selfish. Thanks in advance.

you should go for light stock rom V1.1, maybe change the kernel in it to Hades kernel or something to make it little more smooth

Best Nougat Rom for OnePlus 2? (July)

Hello,
i would like to know your experience with your custom rom.
I´m looking for a custom rom and i really lost the view in the development thread..
Of course such experiences are subjective and depending on a personal view, but it can help you get a better
view and create a interior selection.
So for me it would be good, if the rom is stable, good options for customization, nice battery life and fine working camera.
Maybe here are some users, who already tried many roms (LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, Cosmic Os, XenonHD etc.) and can help me with my decision.
In the past many people recommend "Resurrection Remix" as the best, but now there are so many news roms..
Thank you for your help
Best Regards,
Ben

Is quite good -3h of SOT, just what I got on OOS. Camera has issues - no RAW, no panorama, no slowmo - it is to be fixed by a third-party app, but just saying!
Anyway, this is the most smoothless ROM I have ever expirenced.
Carbon Rom - 4.5 hours SOT

Which rom are you using and why?

Hi guys,
Thanks very simple I just wanna know what do you think about roms.
My data:
Rom: Stock 6.0.1
Why?: Because I think it's the best in terms of performance
LineageOS. I like it because of its stability and fast updates. It's very close to stock with no unnecessary add-ons.
Latest stock because battery life, smoothness and picture quality.
I just got a used G4 XT1625. I'm staying with stock Nougat until Lineage 15.0 is stable. It works fine for my needs. I used LOS 14.1 on my G3 and that was fine too.
InvictaOS is best in my opinion.
Currently on : 7.1.2 but, soon to be Oreo, may be in a day or two.
Stable, one of the best performing, eduqate amount of features, and fast updates!!
Its all about the personal Choice! 1st of all understand what do you need! Stock or Custom!
The best custom ROM, out of the ROMs which I have tried is Invicta... The beta version of O is out already so you can try that, and it is being updated every week (Almost! Great Dev we have!)
If you want stock, you should use 7.0 with Vegito kernel! It is very stable and gives you good battery backup! Now nothing can match stock, but it does miss out on features so once u have Vegito, u can root via magisk (its my personal choice) or any other, and then install Xposed which is now out Officially and works perfectly with stock. Adds a lot of features and good thing? You can always take stock OTAs as they come along! (you can even try systemless Xposed, I am not sure it will work or not, but it is available)
So its your choice! I have tried both of them and works perfectly! I stay on custom ROM since, it gives me one of the most imp feature that is notification LED, And more ! So, its your personal choice!
Hope this helps!
Same here Stock 6.0.1 with xposed and supersu
InvictaOS because @Silesh.Nair is an awesome developer and I really trust his judgment on what he finds best to put in a rom. And it's stable with features of my liking.

It's really more of a personal choice. Try them both out and see which one you like more.
I'm on AICP 64-bit.
Ty ragarianok I'm looking for something to use as a daily driver and I've heard mixed reviews on 64 bit saying its not as good as 32 on our device

Pixel experience has almost no customization options while resurection remix has hundreds(compared). That's the first question you should ask yourself: do I want less or more?

Best rom ?

Hi there guys , there so much diferents ROMs here
And wanted to know what are the best 5, in terms of fluidity, battery and functionality?
Well, there's no best, only favorites. A ROM that runs great for me on my device may be a problem for others (VertexOS is a good example).
For the record my favorite on the Axon 7 is Dark ROM.
ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, Dirty Unicorns UNOFFICIAL v11.7.2 ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5
With the exception of MIUI 9 I have tested just about every ROM that's currently in development for the Axon 7. I always end up coming back to DARK ROM because it combines the simplicity and smoothness of LineageOS with a few extra features, such as OMS support and bypassing the PIN unlock on reboot.
ROMs differences.
Instead of creating yet another thread, I'll just hijack this one if that's alright with you guys .
Can somebody give me a rundown of the pros and cons of AOSP and LOS based ROMs in comparison to stock?
I know that camera apps won't work properly on custom ROMs and that there used to be some issue with the DAC, but that seems to have been patched since then (on LOS at least), is that right?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendation!
LineageOS was utter crap back in February, but it's gotten a long way since. I believe Lineage + BeastMode Kernel is awesome for performance (not so much for battery though)

From my experience pretty much all AOSP ROMs have similar performance and features, though I still recommend if you have an H870 try Resurrection Remix, (or AICP, I've never tried it so I have nothing bad or good to say about it), if you are US997, I recommend AOSP Extended, I'm using it currently and I love the amounts of native customization and the built in black theme and custom accent colours are pretty cool (AOSPE also supports H870 and H872 as well)
