Could anybody recommend a best stable 64 bit BUG free( like cam not working or no volte) oreo rom
That i can use as a daily driver
Is the resurrection remix bug free and worth it?
Tried them all, and haven't found one yet that doesn't have some little bug or another. Just depends on what you can live with.
Is there any major downside for using a oreo rom now?

Well probably the problems going back to stock (though now you can make a backup of persist, which fixes volte). And also the tiny annoying bugs that come with custom roms (usually camera related, no slow-mo, etc.).
As for the bugs, most of them will be easier to solve when official oreo is released. Vache is waiting for oreo so that he can grab the camera blobs and stuff like that to make a stable treble oreo rom. Until then I'll just stick with stock.
You're better off sticking with stock or custom Nougat Roms. While you can "fix" VOLTE with persist and EFS backups, there are still issues with VOLTE malfunctioning occasionally requiring a restart of your phone to fix until it happens again.

I've been for a long time on CyanogenMod but I've decided to take a fresh start and reinstall OOS, I used to be on the 3.0.1 firmware and everything was working great. But OOS is buggy and I used to get better battery life on custom ROMs sooo yeah. I've never tried lineage os but I think that it still runs on the older firmware, do you know ROMs working on the latest firmware ? Thanks !
Almost all roms. Exept you may find one where VoLTE is not working.
No roms run on the newer firmware as oneplus sources are from 3.0.x.
Until nougat is released we will not see updated sources.
Hello,
It's been almost a little over a year since I was last really into android customization. Since it's been so long it has become clear to me that my phone is outdated in many ways. I'm still running OxygenOS 2.2.1 with Android 5.1.1. I've been wanting to update up to Android N (7.x.x) for a long time now, but haven't seen any real stable roms or haven't really had the time to look for one. Now I've finally found my self with free time and ready upgrade my rom. I've just faced couple of problems, I can't really find what should I do when upgrading from 5.1.1 to 7.x.x since no-one is really doing that anymore. I remember reading sometime back that if you dont have the right firmwares you'll brick ur phone, and I wouldn't really want to go through that hassle at the moment. Is it still a thing or should it be just fine for me to flash a new rom just on top of this? (Ofc with clearing memory etc) Other question that is in my mind is that is there any critical bugs in Android N roms? It's bit unclear to me since there are such many roms that have their status as work in progress or beta etc, but some roms have status as stable. Are there any roms that I should clearly avoid? Im not new to this so I don't really need any deep info how to do everything etc, just a bit of a oversight on how things are going atm.
Thanks.
first of all is ur device rooted?? If yes then install the latest twrp recovery...then take a backup.. and flash any nougat rom which u like...If at all u would need Volte support then u l have to flash the 3.5.7 firmware..or else the 3.1.0 firmware works fine with most of the nougat roms..some nougat roms i would recommend are AICP, Resurrection Remix and AOSP extended .... In my suggestion u should probably first upgrade the Oxygen Os on ur device through official updates via OTA atleast upto the 3.5.6 firmware
there's no need to update until 3.5.6, unless you aren't going to plan staying with OOS [the only "stable" firmware which provides you VoLTE working, but it's still M-based and not N].
as @mhd athiq said, unlock your bootloader [just in case you still haven't done it before] then update your TWRP recovery to the latest version.
then flash the incrementals OTAs until OOS 3.1.x and you are good to go to flash any custom ROM which is N-based.
to avoid any mistake, please make a EFS backup via terminal [just to have a backup of your modems] and save the files to a safe location.
I don't have a specific ROM to suggest to you, but in my experience I have found the CAF/AOSP-based ones to be the ones with the best battery backup and less bugs then LOS-based ones.
I have used happily for a few months CypherOS version 3.5.1 [not the latest one, I find it quite unstable as the developers tried to implement OMS].
sidenote:
flashing N-based custom ROMs upon OOS 3.5.6 firmwares gives random reboots and unstable network in many cases/scenarios.
so don't update to that OOS version unless you have a mandatory VoLTE feature required [but you'll have to live with random reboots and poor network stability].
Hello folks.
I was tracking down a mobile data problem I was having...as part of the troubleshooting, I was installing a bunch of different ROMs (LOS nougat, RR nougat, RR oreo). I found the solution to my problem after installing RR oreo, but the ROM itself was not the solution; it was a configuration problem.
Anyway, I'd just as soon not reinstall again, so my question: is RR oreo stable enough for everyday use? Or should I go back to nougat before I configure all the apps on my phone?
Thanks.
Both of are as good as it can be.
it depend on personal choice.
Both are good, some people have a few bugs with rotation on oreo I think.
No issues on my end worth mentioning.
However the battery drain is there on all oreo roms, more than nougat. On my old stock battery i get 4-5 hours SoT, and it seems like that for most people. Depending what you do.
Removing NFC is supposed to help, haven't tried myself.
But for myself, I've tried RR and now trying AEX. Both are fantastic, RR offers a little more customization and wake screen on waving. Crdroid has an oreo rom now too I believe that I haven't tried yet.
Do a clean flash to avoid problems. It also requires latest twrp or you'll likely receive an error on flashing.
I've rooted with magisk and all is well.

What you guys suggest!? I want to root my Phone but I am waiting for The Oreo Update
Should I wait Further or not!?
Personally I was wondering the same, but decided a week or so ago to unlock the bootloader and install lineage 14.1. Happy with my decision, it actually fixed a bug I had with NFC only working occasionally. Also good to be able to use my root apps again. I won't upgrade to Oreo until after the official Oreo release and developers have had a chance to fix the issues there seems to be with Bluetooth calling, votle, imei, etc.
So my answer would be sure go ahead, as long as you know what you're doing it for and understand the risks.
I agree with NZedPred, nothing wrong with rooting and installing custom rom, but I wouldn't install any Oreo rom until/if official Oreo for this device gets released. Just too many problems.
Same here waiting for Oreo before root

If you can fix the various common problems that may come with custom ROMs, go ahead. Otherwise, you could stay stock and wait for the update. It all depends on you if you want to have the latest Oreo (8.1 and the latest security patches).
If you just want to root, it's fine too but you'll still lose warranty.
Not sure, i have zero problems on ResurrectionRemix Oreo.
I was thinking the same and now i'm glad that i did it. RR working like a champ.
some custom rom are stable and u can use for daily driver
I'll wait. There's nothing revolutionary about Android 8, the custom roms are almost always buggy, and also all these reports of IMEI 0 are troublesome.
Has anyone tried dirty unicorn rom i looked through their official website but did find not anything about its features. My questions are
1. I have not unlocked my bootloader yet and i want to try only this rom. Is this stable enough as daily driver are there any bugs.
2. Does it support volte and how is call and audio quality these three are most important to me specifically audio quality and Volte.
Works great, volte & call quality are fine. Running 05.11 so can't speak for the latest 03.09. Camera is working 90% but that's to be said of all Oreo ROMs at the moment. Word of caution if you go from stock to Oreo be sure to back up your EFS partition because you'll lose volte if you go back to stock from Oreo. If you want to go back to stock from Oreo you have to first flash custom nougat then stock nougat. That's worked for me anyway, I'm sure I'll get corrected if that's not the case. Happy flashing ?
