Hi all,
Have been using the 1+5 since launch day, bought this beast at midnight on launch day and since then it's just amazed me....but I've been stuck picking a ROM due to the encryption decryption worry, I'm currently decrypted on xXx
What ROM are you using and why?
Not looking for the best, just for the points of why one over another.
Cheers.
Hi!

What do the other ROMs offer over OOS? If anything? Easier theming?

Different ROMs are build above different sources -- OOS, AOSP, LineageOS... -- and contain various modifications -- theming options, kernel tweaking, features ported from other devices, ability to streamline the system experience, stellar stability or release-early-release-often, etc. Every ROM is different, though at some point they offer more of less similar features -- eck, it's all Android at the core! Still, they represent what their devs feel is important for a joyful experience. Read the first post of a topic, you should have a general idea of what you get.

Thanks, maybe I didn't explain it enough, what I meant was what do you use and prefer and why?
What features sell you the ROM of your choice over others.
I think you can see by the amount of phones I've had that I've seen quite a few.
What are you using at the moment and why?
Benefit over OOS?
I've always been in love with Codename Phoenix, and I still am. I flashed everything there is out there, and every kernel. My conclusion: either OOS, or Phoenix. All the others either have some bugs or annoying problems. I choose Phoenix over OOS because it is just as smooth if not even smoother & faster while providing much more features than OOS. Also, 2 stable builds a month. That's much faster updates than OOS.

The guy deleted all of the G+ and xda threads, because he hated the drama. All he wanted to do at the end of the day is just share the builds he makes with his friends and his loyal users, so he only just has a telegram where he posts fully stable builds around two times per month.

The rom also has OOS cam working. The ROM itself is closed source, but it's stellar, so I am sure there's a reason behind him making it closed source. I bet he is some ex developer of some other mainstream rom who really knows his stuff.
The rom that give Codename Phoenix a head to head competition is AOSIP, I have used both and settled down on latter.

Aye i was looking at that one, again though it aims towards encrypted devices, I'm currently decrypted and have fallen foul of the memory becoming unreadable and thus losing data before, that noverity is that all you flash after the rom?
ROM / Gapps / Noverity
In that order right?

Ok cool, cheers pal.
Will look into it this week sometime. :good:
I went with AICP, firmware 5.1 at this point is needed with it. Modded Gcam working, modded oneplus cam also working. Alot of features, uses LOS and others for base. if your a flashaholic like myself they have nightlies close to every night even. If you want a custom kernel most of the LOS compatble ones (EX, Flash, Franco) work. Battery life is great, and I like the feature set. Eneough tweaking I dont need substratum to have the look I want. Using Magisk 14.4 beta for root. solid eneough to be a daily driver for sure. Bluetooth works perfect for me as well, no wifi issues.
Still using Pure Fusion 7.1.2, as it's aosp-based yet has oos camera fully working(with portrait and slow-mo).

So I am going to do this later...I am on XXX 10.5 right now, Oreo.
I am unencrypted...
To put Phoenix on my OP5 and not lose data...
In TWRP:
1. Wipe everything but internal storage...
2. Flash Phoenix
3. Flash GAPPS
4. Flash Magisk
Done?

Not a worry for me that, I've got a Lumie that gets brighter in the morning and tweets at me, wakes me up better than a normal alarm.
How's theming on pure fusion? Been having some issues with my preferred theme lately, in fact so many themes these days don't work.
Google just wants to be lighter and lighter, how they haven't got a dark side I'll never know.
Besides robbing everyone's data
Just like OP, i'm running xXx oos based rom since the beginning, and i'm pretty happy with it.
I'm interested in trying some custom roms, but i've read almost everywhere that custom roms can't get close to camera quality of OOS, is this still true ?
I don't mind flashing any magisk camera mod module if that could help :good:

I browse XDA everyday and these days there are so many new custom roms for OPX. I'm so confused choosing the one to be flash on my OPX (E1001). So I would like to make a vote so that everyone can share their experience about custom roms choosing. For me, After tried several roms I'm now back to OxygenOS since it's stable. Bluspark kernel gives me a smooth UX and fine performace in gaming. I got 27-29 fps playing Hearthstone on my phone.
Try them, read the forums and decide for yourself. Best rom threads aren't allowed on xda.

Yup. That's the best way. Just try em all. I don't even have a favorite. Some are better in different ways. Right now I am running Oxygen though. It's the only ROM supported by the Boeffla kernel right now
I means I just want to find a rom which has good battery and bug free for daily use.

Bro you can use boeffela kernel on h2os also I have flashed boeffela 7 for oneplus x OOS on h2os and it is running smoothly no lags at all and on benchmark it is giving a score of 68k to 69k by doing some customization by boeffela config app
I totally understand this poll.
Following OnePlus X development thread for some time now, it is quite difficult to choose one of the ROM.
For those saying that we need to try them ... I tried most of them and can't figure out why using one compare to the other ...
Most of them are CM based or include exactly the same feature.
I remembered using TeamEOS ROM and this, was completely different (in my point of view). Some extra goodies included but all from them, with some differences (gestures instead of navbar).
I don't want to be rude dev, but except AOSParadox, all are quite similar for "normal" users (not developpers I mean) and when using one, you tried all of them ...

I found screen on time 5.5-6 hr in oxy os & it's great...
So I am Desperately Seeking
Is there any Custom OS based on OxyOS/H2OS ?
yeah i would like a h2os lite version but not holding my breath for it. h2os with boeffla kernel flies. 71k antutu score.
also this vote will only show how many users r using their preferred rom. it will not show the best rom.

That's the very good news....
Custom H2OS may be better ..
Any way ???
So for me it's either ashwins cm13 or purity. But what all custom ROMs currently lack is encryption.
That is one thing (I know it is hard to implement) I really would like to see in the next builds as it is for me an essential feature when you are using a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader. I hope there will be some focus on it within the next weeks.
The only option for now is: stay on stock
I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.
Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?
I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.
Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

Original development is for devs posting their work usually
By best I mean, lesser bugs. No scrolling stutter, good battery back up and etc.
I have tried Oreo ROMs before the official Oxygen Oreo comes out, now that it has been out for about a month (?). I think Oreo custom ROM has also improved. I just want your input guys. Thanks!
Also, don't include OxygenOS-based ROMs. So either AOSP or LineageOS-based.
BlackScreenOS
I've tried liquid remix, aicp, omnirom, aosip and the last come resurrection remix... Well i found that the last one is the better.. Long battery life, no lag, the rom is smooth and have all kind of personalizations
BUT i can't understand why i'm in completely mood with Oos 5.0.2 it's simply perfect imo... And i've been always the first to install a custom rom on my device
Now that substratum is working i think oos has nothing to envy at the other roms, rather it has face unlock oos cam etc... and it's for sure the smoothest rom on this phone
I haven't found one yet that fits your description. Tried DU, Screwed, Aquarios, Phoenix, Omni, Liquid Remix, AOKP and CrDroid. All have bugs, are less than smooth or both.

I don't have your problems, maybe you have some apps/tweak cause this issues or simply Xposed / Module
The problem with DU is that the maintainer for this device decided to stop releasing RC builds after number two because *he has enough feedback" while other phones are getting updated DU builds. Unless you compile the source code yourself you are stuck with an outdated version of DU that is missing many of the ROMs features. I was a big fan of DU before buying an OP5 but on this phone it has never been anything but a substandard ROM. The Nougat version was buggy garbage and based on the attitude with the RC builds Oreo for the OP5 probably won't be any better.
I've only tried RR roms, lots of problems (maybe it's my fault, bad flash or idk) so I'm back to stock. I don't know why but since Oreo I can't go on custom rom, feels like they're more laggy.

When it comes to camera, Phoenix is the go! As I says OOS Cam is fully working. It's not pre-installed. Just download the latest apk from apk mirror and install it. There's a delay when starting up the camera, you will just need to wait a little bit,then everything works perfect. Even clearer picture than on OOS itself.

Could u provide the link?
Can the experts here recommend some good third party ROMs for the EP? I'm coming over from Nexus 6p and Dirty Unicorns rom. Also does this phone have a TWRP port as I cant find one on the official website?
Unofficial TWRP is available.
Look for it in Q&A and Guides Section - Rooting thread.
Recovery and boot partition is same on this phone, so you won't permanent TWRP. It will be overwritten when you flash ROM or Kernel.
As far as ROMs go, I would suggest to stick to stock Oreo, or try the latest P Beta.
I am running P Beta since June update and it has been solid for me.
Especially July build is amazing.
If you want to try custom ROM, try AICP or AOSiP. There is Invitrix ROM too. Not sure if the dev shares it here on XDA.
If you use Tidal, don't flash the P beta.. you'll ruin your headphones, or worse, your ears. There's an issue with volume control.
For custom ROMs, the dev for AICP is going beast mode on updates and tweaks... It'll spoil you, and it's butter smooth.

thank you for your replies. What about CarbonROM? Any idea if thats any good ?
P beta is pretty solid? I have the same question as OP. I’m coming from a pixel 2xl. Picked up another EP for that sick prime day deal. I had one when it first came out and didn’t have a good experience with Tmobile. How’s the battery life with the July build for P?

Im eager to try 2 of them but there doesnt seem to be a lot of info with the Axon there and many are reporting issues with other phones. Has anyone here tried any of these and had success?
most users with other phones reports issues.
a month ago i tried 2 but none of them booted,im not gonna try again
You should've opened this in the Q&A section.
There's a thread already discussing Pie roms here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/summary-best-pie-roms-to-try-to-moment-t3841784

Those are custom ROMs though. The link is about direct ports from different manufacturers like Samsung UI, Zen UI, Oxygen UI and MIUI. Someone was trying to create bootable GSIs from direct ports of those OSs. I only saw one Axon 7 owner there that tried and now Im looking to see if any other users have tried as well.
Oh, I see.
this is the best ROM

Out of curiosity, Do you personally have any issues with the current build of HavocOS?
I saw that someone might have a Flashlight Problem, do you?
If you use your device a lot, how long is your average Screen-on-Time while on Havoc?
I'm wondering because I am still on the old RR-O 5/11/18 Kranoner build (still pretty stable, but bad SoT) and am itching to jump to Pie, but want a stable experience.
I just don't have the time to experiment with each recent GSI to see what does and doesn't work.
I remember in the other Pie GSI thread, there was a post many months ago about PixelDust having close to 7h SoT, Do you know if there are any other stable GSI's that work on Axon 7 that have this kind of SoT?
Thanks!

Most GSIs have pretty much the same SOT, it depends mostly on the state of your battery (i.e. if it is more than a year old you won't get that kind of SOT) and also on your vendor (Speedy 6.2 is the best right now) and kernel (Baddar RC1.1)
You may get 7h SOT if you use it VERY lightly, but I'd say it's closer to 6h with a new battery

What is your current ROM/GSI that you use for the Axon 7? What would you recommend for overall stability and daily-driver?

Liquid, AEX, Havoc, Omni, maybe Bootleggers...
I'm using AEX but don't really use the axon as daily driver since the screen is completely dead. The system is still completely stable though, via scrcpy

Where can I get Speedy vendor?
I can't find anything by that name.
I'm also running AEX but it's quite unstable.
If anyone needs a link to Speedy stuff, here it is:

It's unstable because of the (non-Speedy) vendor you're using
BTW you'll have to clean flash in order to change the vendor

Hm... I did flash Speedy vendor and Baddar Kernel.
That lead to major graphical issues, so I wiped data.
That helped, it's running better now but still not perfect. Status bar / quick access freezes sometimes.
Do I need to wipe again and flash in another order?

You need to CLEAN FLASH. which means wipe system, data, caches, then flash the vendor, then the ROM, then GApps and Magisk, then the NFC fix (The first one by Kountry is the only one that works for me) and then reboot
install speedy 6.2, havok 2.6 and gapps. that ROM is rock solid. don't need to install custom kernel or NFC patch

But you do. The NFC stuff is not related to the ROM, it's the vendor, and all seem to require it. And not installing a custom kernel (i.e. Baddar, because it's the only updated one) means you're stuck with Speedy's kernel, which is not bad but is not as good as Baddar
After some time waiting for the GSI roms to appear, I was surprised and disheartened to still see folks having problems with their Axon 7. I thought the introduction of Treble support would allow everyone access to many ROM updates but instead it seems like there's work involved to tailor each GSI for their particular phone.
I thought it was Google's intention to have these GSI's flashed to any phone supporting Treble without much developer involvement. Did I assume too much?

kind of. We don't have a vendor made specifically for the phone, since treble didn't even exist when this phone came out. People have been making them over time.
But again, what's the problem? NFC/hotspot? You are supposed to flash the patch after the first boot. V4A not working? Only a few have that.
V4A works for me, I have havoc 2.4, Vendor_Project_Treble_Axon7-by+Kranoner, and I install V4A with magisk 19.3 , and I also use "NFC_Hotspot-Universal.zip"
