MM Android 6.0.1 Ho do you find with the new hydrogen ROM?

Do you find any bugs or improvement?
I've never installed any hydrogen ROM (always oxygen) but i'm curious to know if MM is more fluid than LP.
Does doze works?

Well, I've tested it. I can say that the Fingerprint is a huge improvement compare to OxygenOS' one. For the rest of the ROM, it seems to be pretty solid and smooth. I don't tested it more than 20 minutes (really don't like HydrogenOS..), but yeah, it seems to be a good improvement compare to OxygenOS in general. But I've had some troubles going back to OxygenOS, so if you want to test it out by yourself, be sure TO BACKUP EVERYTHING important into your PC (or out your phone).
But yeah, I hope OxygenOS will be as fast and stable as HydrogenOS is.

Here's hoping. I just can't get used to H2OS any time I've tried it. I guess I'd still rather use something closer to stock Android, even if it doesn't perform as well!

But if you change hidrogen launcher (with nova or GEL) doesn't seems like a vanilla ROM? Are there other changes from Oxygen over the quick settings and the launcher?
p.s. is only in english and chinese?

yes, only 2 language
the difference are in, launcher, notification, quick setting, different swipe (left for close app o erase notification, right for open notification or lock app, so you can't kill it in multitasking)

I've been running it for a couple of days. First thing I did was to remove some of the Chinese stuff. Second was to change the launcher.
There are fewer options for customization, probably because MM is new to the opt, and that its beta software.
The thing I miss is the automatic activation of do not disturb from the cm builds, not a deal breaker. There's no dark theme, but layers manager seems to do the trick.
It's fast, FP works better than any lollipop rom I've tried and at par or better with the FP on iPhone.
The only problem I e noticed with camera is occasionally it's slow to respond, possible due to doze, also the audio level seems to vary when recording video.
I didn't notice smart lock, but my email server prevents me from using it anyways.
The sound quality from the speaker seems clearer.
I've always had poor battery life battery is much improved, and it got better when I removed Facebook, this is subjective as I haven't tested it out much.
Some of the settings are hard to find, but it a learning curve.
Wifi will drop when doing a soft reboot, for theme changes, and it won't reboot into recovery with flashify, or reboot at all with xposed, again no big deal. Cycling wifi on/off in control panel brings it back I've occasionally lost the 4G/3G indicator, but data is still active, again cycling data on/off brings it back.
A few xposed modules won't work with mm, but that's kind of DUH, they aren't updated. I'm impatient for "alert slider" to get an update, as the flashlight on is very useful to me. I haven't installed many modules as they all are for lollipop. YouTube background playback works.
LTE seems to work, but it says 4G, I can use either sim and get LTE, something I missed on any other MM rom.
I did lose my twrp, but I flashed it over adb, and it now working with power and vol+

I installed kingmericans hos today. Like everyone has noticed FP is blazing fast. Rest is more or less the same as LP hos. A few lags here and there but it's definitely way better than OOS. Even I CNT get used to hos. I revert back to vanilla android eventually but I'm glad at least one plus got one of their ROMs to be nice.

I found it fast and stable. Great job, I was happy in lollipop, now I'm 10x times happier with this device even we don't have custom kernels yet. (Of course nobody will work in a kernel for a leaked beta)

Not anymore, you can swipe both sides to erase notification or recent app. That thing was on lollipop h2os.

For me was terrible. Now I clean flash it again and it looks better, I will test a few more days. Now I have 3h screen with maps 40m (GPS), WiFi and 4G, and 47% left.
I should erase logkits and all that stuff. I don't do it because I have done it before (before 2nd clean flash) and i had terrible battery life.

I used the leak for 2 days had a hard time coming back so i wouldnt recommend it.... But there were many bugs beyond that, the phone was extremely fast and fp sensor was just amazing didnt get an error in 2 days that ive used and but bugs do persist.. Lets just wait for the stock oos, its gonna be a great update

Using Kingmercians Hydrogen OS and with Google Now Launcher it is really quite amazing. Sure, it isn't as good as Oxygen, but it is Marshmallow and that alone makes it worth it. You can customize Hydrogen OS to be perfectly OK and while Oxygen is indeed preferred I'd rather use this until Oxygen comes out and then just install Oxygen, it's not like it is hard to switch ROM's.

Well it's butter. Can't stand OOS after this. Xposed works so customization galore. Of course battery is much better. Heck even Viper works. Finally OP2 works.

H²OS MM <3
Hey !
I just give my personal opinion.
I find this first beta v1.0.2 & TWRP 3.0.0 by Kingmercians incredibly robust and fluid.
The FP sensor is a marvel and is faster than the iPhone 6 Plus ! ;p
In addition it consumes nothing with Servicely ! And the best part about it is that the power save mode is 100% lag free !
I tried to return the phone in all directions, with Xposed v80 where I encountered some problems with Gravity Box...
Especially the percentage of battery level that does not stop to make small jumps. If I put the default settings in Gravity Box and puts the battery percentage from the system menu, it disappears in seconds...
(So I deleted Gravity Box and everything is back to normal when you reboot.)
If not except it Locale More works very well too. (For me it's in French !)
One last thing if I had the choice the first time I used the Oneplus 2 to change the preinstalled ROM (OOS), I would do it again when we see H²OS is its superb IOS like interface.
At any point of view I prefer H²OS.
Do not forget this is a beta, some bug not very important, works better than OxygenOS 2.2.0, there is no doubt.
Peace.

[Noob] Rom Advise neede

Hi all
As in title i need some advice to change rom on my le pro 3.
The point is that I've always had nexus devices (4 and 5) and the latter stopped working. I've loved that plain and simple android so much that i never even bothered to change roms on those devices. So now i bought this Leeco Le pro 3 since I am not willing or better can't afford to spend so much money on those new pixel phones.
And here is the problem: I would like to install a rom as similar as to that "nexus" experience possible. Just plain android with no extra stuff I don't (think) I need. I'd then just download the apps I was previously using from play store.
Do you think there is something out there that could do the job?
Thank you very much

Well we have the Lineage team working on roms, we had a great rom the GTX ones but trolls got the OP pissed, in my opinion the battery on this phones is much better with the stock roms rooted and debloted, i get something like one day and some hours of battery life, I only use twitter, FB and hot spot when i need too, is also connected to BT streaming music when on the road. I tried using the Liniage and slim, and some how battery suffers im not sure why, but eventually those devs will figure it out, I came from the 6P and nugat screw up that phone badly, the UI on this phone gets a little to get used too nut IMO is worth the change.

Give stock rom a try. I also like very clean roms but this stock is really good, just install nova laucher and customize it like the new pixel launcher, it gives you a pretty good clean android experience, with some little tweaks.

Hi Cubanghost and thank you for your answer.
For now I did a backup of whats in the phone as it arrived. I might have found something here and it looks like the closest stock android experience that is available to me. The "grossoshop" version I have is just too confusing to me so I think I will just try the one i linked above and if it is not satisfying I will revert to the original and try to get used to it.

Not a problem i was lost on the IU for about a month since i was so used to my 6P but now i cant tell you the relief i have to move away, also the idea the Engineer had was also a good one i have nova swiping up like the pixel launcher. but i also heard good things about the chinesse rom's and battery been awesome. go for it and welcome to the LeEco family, this phone does not disappoints IMO.

IS it worth Rooting ?

I just bought a Sprint V20 and so far I have been looking through the roms and non are without bugs or problems. Which rom would you guys use and is it really that much better to root the phone over stock ?

Mine was lagging horribly and the battery was draining really fast.
I rooted and it has been so much better.
DevDigital's Sprint roms have been flawless for me. Not a single hiccup.
Just don't factory reset within twrp or you'll end up in a bootloop. Not bricked but aggravating.

I've had mine since Black Friday and still haven't rooted. I'm enjoying the phone despite the lack of data tethering. Is there a way to set the wide angle camera as the default camera so that 3rd party apps use the wide angle rear camera instead of the current primary? I'd enjoy the phone that much more if that were possible.

For me it's worth it just for adaway.

There is no way. At least for Tmobile's variant. However, it only take a second to either zoom out or just click the icon and it will both take you to widescreen. I find zooming out easier for me. I dont know why

I personally only root to control programs that we should be able to control anyway (aka facebook), I get annoyed at how programs continually relaunch themselves without my knowledge.
That being said at this time I haven't rooted mainly because I've only had the phone for a month and I want to make sure that the phone works properly for at least 6 months.
Right now I am running greenify to attempt to control apps that think my personal phone is their playground to do whatever they want.
If I was younger and not dependent on my phone for a lot of things (business and organization) I would try other builds people have made but since I need reliability above all I personally tend to stick to stock builds.

I may try this soon. I just hope DevDigitals Sprint roms are stable. I use Black Player as my music player for the gym and the camera is awesome for my Cruise I'm taking in April.

It still looks like people are having issues with DevDigitals rom. The data and texting issues. Are all these issues solved in V6.5 ? I use my phone for work and cant take the chance of it not answering a call or a text. Is the new V6.5 working as a daily driver for Sprint users ?

no issues at all on 6.5 for most.....
people sometimes don't read/search anymore

I did post once that I was having data issues but it was no fault of DevDigitl's great rom.
It was my wifi wasn't shutting off and I had previously signed into xfinity wifi. Every time I got anywhere near an xfinity wireless connection, (which is every other house in Boston) it would try to connect.
I'm still learning LG. Been on Samsung for a long time.
I firmly believe the rare connection issues are user error. Once the rom is installed you just need to click update profile and then update prl once.

It's worth rooting
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung.

my LG-V20 was also laggy and draining battery quickly. i finally rooted my phone and it is 100% better i am currently using Maximum OvrDriVE Rom. its extremely nice. so if anyone else has the lag/battery drain quicker i suggest rooting your phone should fix. its been about 2 weeks and still doing great also so.

If you want a stable amazing ROM the NotSoStock ROM is the only option....
Don't hesitate just do it. You won't regret it.

I am a new 6T user, what custom ROM would you recommend me to try out first?

My 6T would arrive tomorrow, my nexus 6p died couple days ago and 6T is the way to go!! I heard that the stock ROM on 6T is really good already, since I haven't taken a look at it, I am not sure what additional feature I can get from the custom ROM? Or should I even bother flashing a custom ROM? Please don't get me wrong, I do think all custom ROM must be fantastic, I am just not sure what the difference are yet.
Another question if you don't mind, I watched some 6T review on YouTube, I see that the speed is fast, but not smooth, they did a comparison between 6T and iphone xs, xs provides much better user experience on animation. I see that we can change the animation speed on developer mode, but since I haven't gotten the phone yet, would that provide the same experience as XS did? Or is there any custom ROM out here can do it?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you very much

This is my first oneplus device as well. I was fortunate enough to be broke until the McLaren came out. I'm rooted and magisk with a custom kernel. I can't think of anything else I would want that you can't do with magisk. Try stock and see what you think. This phone is great! I walk around like Ron Jeremy wearing skinny jeans with this device. There's a confidence that comes with this phone.

Comparing this phone to an iPhone XS is like comparing apples to mailboxes. iOS is a completely closed ecosystem, where Android is not. Of course things are going to "look better" on an iPhone because apps and the operating system itself are designed specifically for the hardware and vice versa. I can't stand iPhones, and I'll say this is easily the best Android phone I've ever had. With a few minor tweaks, you should be able to get whatever result you're after, because the hardware in the 6T is top notch.

Stock OOS now is much more stable than every custom ROM now, so i will suggest you to try stock OOS, may be with Magisk (ROOT) and see, what you can achieve with that.
At this moment no customs have working FP, but devs are working on it. If you don't mind about FP - go and try any of it.

What is fp?

Finger print scanner.

Keep it stock, it's great. Keep it at least until FP is supported in custom.

I do agree with you, I am not trying to compare 6T with XS, I always use Android phone. What I do like about XS is the smoothness experience it provides to users, 6T's speed is over-killing XS, but I can definitely tell XS is smoother than 6T in the UI part from the video, which I think everyone would like to have that in their own phone.
And of course!!! This is the best Android phone we can get for this price!!! I am happy I am going to have this phone tomorrow!! Really exited.

I did usqe a a custom kernel and I think it may have improved the battery a little bit, but other than that I disable a couple apps and I use greenify. I dont think I could drain this phone in one day if I tried. I am using an app called Magic Fluids as my live wallpaper with the graphics turned all the way and it's not even the least bit warm. Cool app for showing off. Here's a Pic of kinda what it does.

The phone lags a lot (ch rom at least). Switching, opening tabs, etc). Overall animations stutter a lot. I hope some developers find it in their hearts to help our poor souls and release a rom with all the xiaomi junk removed.

I've the 3/32GB global/EU version. It's the worst new phone I've bought ever when it comes to performance. It's just a week old and I've installed the apps that I had on the Note 5 before. Everything is more laggy than with my old 5. I'm really frustrated, because it seems to work fine for others.

Xioami.eu miui rom? Not the model version itself. If u are not familiar with it and I feel like many aren't, Eu rom is like a debloated stock rom and less buggy across all xiaomi phones compared to the stock global/China rom it ships with. U should also use 3rd party apps like fluid navigation gesture on the playstore for no stutter instead of miui's full screen gesture from settings. A lot of xiaomi phones can be a way better experience this way even on miui until custom roms are out. Global version for more bands+EU rom instead of global/China+apps like fluid navigation, Google cam, dolby/viper etc. Let me know if it helps
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/
Hardware and cost is good but chinese software is probably the worst part about buying a phone that has trouble getting bootloader unlocked. Xiaomi and oneplus seem to have an advantage with that over most of the other companies even though xiaomi makes u wait forever at least it's still possible

Thanks for all the tips man! Sure it helps! I can't wait till Friday for the 360 hours of waiting to be up. I will right away install EU rom, and as you said, it already is a much more fluid experience, but even after that I will install the fluid navigation gesture as you suggested, and also a different launcher.
One thing though, I am crazy about better sound and with stock MIUI there is no way to 'tweak' Bluetooth sound (EQ, better, bass, control base frequency, etc). I used to have a Note 8 I gave to my uncle which had a crazy amount of tweaks that made me much more satisfied with Bluetooth sound even though we all know it is just 'average sound'.
Do you know which vyper4android mod works best for the redmi note 7? Can I still something similar? have you tried any? Or is it just a universal one?
