I want to flash a custom rom to my Galaxy S5 900F, but I am not sure what the differences are between RR and LineageOS, and which one is "better".
Thanks in advance!
RR is based on LineageOS and RR has TONS of other features that LineageOS does not have. You even have lots of customisation options when you choose RR.
In my experience, RR is better and I'd personally recommend RR.
In terms of features, RR is definitely bigger and better. Although, in my opinion, that makes it way too complicated. The whole setup of RR is very much unintuitive and most of the extra features involved are just that; extra features. I would consider myself an advanced user having been in android for 5 years, but I barely used anything for the week or so I had RR on my phone. Also, with all tiny bits of customization the menus are very crowded. I mean, some of us don't have a whole afternoon to figure out every customization! And root access, do we really need that in nougat? Not to mention SeLinux. What do you so desperately need that you have to disable that?? LOS on the other hand is smaller, but much simpler. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say that everything just works, and whatever you can customize is easier to access! Also, things like Android Pay work if you flashed the su removal tool to get rid of root. The battery life also is great, and I only need to charge in the evening. I also shouldn't forget that the mantainers for LOS are much more reliable than RR and if you use haggertk's recovery, the OTA update goes seamlessly, like an OEM rom.
Bottom line if you want all the bells and whistles possible, RR is for you. If you want a clean ROM that does everything you need to smoothly, LOS.
Or heck, try 'em both out and see what you like!
i havent made the jump to nougat on RR yet, but its predecessor is pretty much amazing! So much so, that ive been reluctant to switch as of yet. I thought that the nougat RR was released before the CM project died and didnt think that it had switched over to the lineage base.
Resur is better
Hey, recently came from an outdated OPX, and just wanted to see how much of that functionality I can replicate on the OP5.
For example, I've heard CM is kinda dead, so that's out the door. For a custom ROM, what's a good one that people would recommend? I've seen FreedomOS, Resurrection Remix, and LineageOS.
Next, for rooting, would it be a similar process where I flash SuperSU and use Xposed Installer to find/install modules?
Any tips on customizing my device would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Lineage is CM. For rooting you can use Magisk or SuperSU. The choice is yours, but if you want to hide root, use Magisk.
As for Xposed, there is none for Nougat. So no modules for you; you will have to rely on the customization options of the ROM.
That being said, the most feature rich ROMs are Resurrection Remix and AICP.

Thanks for the reply and recommendations!
Are there any pros and cons between Magisk and SuperSU other than hiding root? Also what are the key differences in Lineage, RR and AICP that could help me decide between them?
In addition to that, what would a custom ROM include that stock OOS doesn't? I'm currently rooted with TWRP on stock ROM for now.
hiding the root is pretty much the biggest pro here as it would allow you to use apps such as pokemon go or android pay.
Yeah, that's actually a really nice feature. I couldn't play Pokemon GO since forever ago, and now I can make use of Android Pay.
I'm just still wondering on how to choose a ROM, there's a lot to choose from. RR official/unofficial and AICP are the ones that look interesting right now.

Those are the most feature rich ROMs. Since Xposed isn't an option, you may want to choose one of them.
Hi, I am planning to switch to the latest AOSP extended from the stock ROM. Would this be worth it? Currently, my phone is rooted with Magisk and I play Pogo often. Will the ROM work with both? Thanks!
AEX Oreo is in alpha and buggy. It also lags and stutter. Stock is best. However if you really want to try Oreo rom, my preferred ROM is Cardinal AOSP with BabyFish kernel. Or If you are AEX fanboy, try their Nougat builds or wait a while for their O ROM to get less laggy
I need xposed so can't goto PIE and I use social apps a lot too like snap and instagram, new builds of lineage are kinda funky so please suggest a good Oreo ROM or should i used a debloated stock

Xposed and the stock debloated seem to be doing a great job for me, so IMO stick to debloated stock if you don't want any hassles and lots of troubleshooting.
Plus, the development for oreo has practically stopped, yet CRdroid, lineage and to some extent Havoc OS are great. Well but you don't want funky so.....
I need xposed too?. Gravitybox is the next best thing to a custom ROM, I am sure you know that among other goodies..
Hey, are there any ROM builders with HD1925 model who could build RR for our device? I've been wanting to try out the ROM but unfortunately it seems like we can't flash the regular 7T Pro ROMs without losing cellular data/wifi as it causes RIL issues. I would appreciate it if anyone could build the rom specifically for our model.
Edit: Apparently the RR developer/creator is currently taking a long hiatus, so the latest version of RR is still on A10. There's no ETA on when he'll come back. Just a FYI for anyone still curious.
i got a working build, just gotta fix fp crashes when i can and i prob will post here since the other telegram user who was doing rr builds got a new phone.
Do we have any updates/interest from the RR community building our special phone a RR ROM?
hope we do, cant live with OOS anymore :|
I too have a 7T Pro 5G McLaren from TMO. It's unlocked and I've tried CarbonROM and cdDroid but I'd *really* love to be running RR. I really hope there's a dev out there with one of these that can put together a working stable build. RR is one of the best ROMS I have come across so far. I'm running it on my old Pixel XL as well as on the Xiaomi Note 5. Amazing feature set and very stable - daily driver on both phones.
