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 ?

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 Since it's been so long it has become clear to me that my phone is outdated in many ways.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].
Plz explain guy, i kaafi wanna know after i flash custom is everything working fine? Which rom is best for Moto x style?
No... VoLTE works just fine on most ROM's including stock, unless your carrier is Jio, then it is not supported in the modem firmware (yet), your actual installed ROM is not relevant as long as it supports VoLTE. There are rumors there might be a Nougat "patch" to enable it, but I would put that in the realm of hopeful user's wishes rather than truth.
If the Moto G 2015 is any indication, once it is working in stock with stock modem firmware, developers can likely get it working in custom ROMs but it might take some time (it took nearly a year to get it working in that device after the device supported it)
Good morning on this first christmas day,
I've tried to revert back to nougat after I found out the oreo update is a big, buggy mess.
But when I flash the official revert zip (the one from ob2) my wifi doesn't work until I flash the oreo rom again. The flash goes accompanied by a full wipe in the original op recovery.
Does someone know how to properly revert back to stable nougat from OOS5.0 oreo without wifi malfunctioning?
Thanks for your help and have a blessed christmas.
You call the latest Oreo a big and buggy mess when you can't even find your way around to revert to Stable N?
Believe me, when you follow the rules and search, things get easier. Latest Oreo is rock solid and with good battery life as well. Talking about battery life, I have lost only 4% overnight with mobile data on.
Don't call people's hard work a mess when you mess around yourself.
Back up data on pc , format data then flash official 4.5.15

I don't know what bugs you are talking about. I have Oreo stable and there are no bugs for me. I recommend going to the ROM development forum for this phone and looking into xxx NoLimits ROM by xxx. It is quite stable imo.
However, if you really want to go back to Nougat, you are going to have to format your phone (system, data, internal storage, and both cache) and install the Nougat ROM through TWRP.

What does not being able to revert back to Nougat have to do with Oreo being buggy? Before you insult someone else, make sure you know what logic is.

Its not about just battery life. What about degraded camera performance, worse eis and screen casting issues. Not calling anyone's hard work, I know the team has worked hard but the update was not up to the expectation and looks like its still partially baked. It takes time. Remember how we got a stable N after a series of update. So there's no point i find to say the O a stable ROM as of now.
Download this one and Blu spark TWRP 8.61 then transfer those to your phone. After wiping dalvik cache, flash this stock rom and now do a factory reset from wipe menu by sliding the bar and format the data by typing yes. Now flash the 8.61 Blu TWRP again because it's gone. Reboot and that's all.
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.
Hi all I'm tempted to update to the official Oreo rom but hear some negative things about it so two questions. If I update can I Root and unlock bootloader the same way as before? Also any improved stock Oreo roms out there? I really wanna try dotOS ROM but don't wanna deal with just one speaker working during calls and all the other issues roms had before the official Oreo roms. Glad to see camera2api has been open. Dying to try some shots with Google camera. Tia.
