Ive been using the moto x 2013 for some time now. I was going to get a S4 or G2, I just cant stand how big the new flagships are these days. I finally ended up on buying a oneplus x. Ordered 2/29 and should arrive today 3/2....pretty fast shipping I think!
Im excited to try it out. I do like CM but going to wait for a stable official CM 13. Ive never tried oxygen, any tips or tricks to make it better? Any bugs that I should be aware of?
Thanks.
Enjoy with oxygen os . Few minor things are there but nothing which hampers normal usage. I wouldn't point it out now because then you will specifically look out for those issues. Enjoy it, its a nice experience and with oneplus team working hard on, it will get better .
If you look for customization,mod and seemless experience, we have dedicated, awesome developers who are continuousuly working on Kernels, ROMs and other stuff . I had not thought of this fast development for this phone. Definitely a great feeling.

Personally, I prefer CM13 over Oxygen. It's stable enough for using it as my daily driver. I've tried every rom available for the OPX and always go back to CM12 or CM13 by MasterAwesome..
If you decide to root, there are many options for tweaking. I use the blu_sparks kernel, tasker and secure settings, viper4android, xPosed, greenify, busybox, ad away...
My screen-on-time varies from day to day, but I always make it through the day with normal usage.
There are bugs on any device, it depends what rom you're using. Some get resolved faster than others, but there are no perfect devices.
I'm moderately happy with the OPX. It's the right physical size for me and looks great with the rounded glass. It feels great in the hands. I love having the sd card.
I have had an issue with the magnetic sensor tripping and shutting off/locking my screen repeatedly, but that was "resolved" by using a non-flip-cover case.
If I wasn't as comfortable as I am flashing and rooting devices, I probably wouldn't be very happy with this device.
When the time comes to upgrade again, I doubt I will buy another OnePlus. They have atrocious customer service. It's basically non-existent.
Cheers
I've tried so many ROMs and to be honest they're all great. Oxygen by itself is a bit stale. I recommend flashing Boeffla and checking out the configuration thread I made
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/boeffla-configuration-make-oxygen-fly-t3326054
As for what I prefer to run most, I can't really answer that. Right now I'm enjoying Tipsy with Blu Spark, AICP is great in terms of customization, FlexOS was amazing when I gave it a shot, Tameseks is really good and is probably my favorite implementation of CM, RR has the features, and CM is... CM. You can't go wrong there.
I highly recommend checking out a few ROMs
I'm running Tipsy as aforementioned and I'm loving it so far. The Layers theme is great, it has a great community on G+, and the features aren't bloated by any means. Just needs a feature to to display a memory bar in recents
Have fun with your new device. I love mine. As a matter of fact, its my favorite (coning from using a G4 for a bit too)
OxygenOS is fine. I have been using it since Dec 2015. It is clean and very close to AOSP Lollipop. I will stay with stock for official Marshmallow update from OnePlus. Hopefully the developers community will have similar AOSP based ROM available to play with.

Well its too early to call for favourite ROM. CM13 is good but RIL is little weak on that. WIfi, mobile data issue. Its as close to daily driver but depends on person to person. Since all of them are close to pure android, It would be hard to pick a favourite . Btw right now I am sticking to OOs for manual camera mode, it comes pretty handy sometimes. Though there are few bugs, smoothness makes me happy. Btw I am rocking Boeffla kernel, greenify, amplify and xposed.
Thanks all for recommendations. Been using it for few hours and so far I like it. I do wish the size was smaller like the moto x but I'm sure will get use to it. One thing, wow is this phone slippery! I use to have nexus 4, that was also all glass but I never felt like I would drop it. Maybe it's the metal edge of the OP. Any good cases, something slim and light?

I recently bought few phones and don't know which one to keep to replace my old 2013 moto x. I got galaxy alpha, oneplus x, and Z5 compact. To be honest none feel as good ergonomically as the moto x. The oneplus is nice, good screen and speed but a Lil big. The z5c is really nice but darn thing si hard to hold without a case. Just way too slippery. And loli on it not very fast in my opinion. Also gets pretty warm with light surfing. Not terribly hot but the hottest of the bunch. The alpha is good all around. Nice size, weight is awesome... So light! Speed seems good. My first time using Samsung, it's not as terrible as I thought would be. I switched to Nova prime and feels good. No SD card is a bummer but not deal breaker. It's also slippery but best grip of bunch without case. Screen is good but a bit yellow and not as sharp next to oneplus.
What do you all think, which would you keep?
Thanks.

I am the type of person that nitpicks all the imperfections in phones. every single phone that been out for the past 6 months i have tried it. so i basically had a try of every kind of software. i had a iphone 6s plus but i felt that i paid to much for what i was getting. so then i was hesitating getting the one plus x because it said it was missing bands. but i was lucky to live in a area where lte is supported. i feel the one plus x is a well rounded device. and the community for this phone is pretty amazing. i was also coming from honor 5x but there was development on it yet. for me the size is not an issue i actually i wish it was a little bigger. alpha and compact i haven't tried them. but what your getting for in the one plus x is definitely a win in my book. if you think its too slippery buy a skin from dbrand or slickwraps. Hope i made your choice a little easier. @mario24601

I'm glad to see that you're having a positive experience with CM13. May I ask how battery life worked for you? — as I'm seeing battery life as a con for a majority of the ROMs available for this device.
I have previously used CM roms on my phones so I isntalled CM 12.1 by MasterAwsome right after I got the OPX. Of course like it , but encountered a bug in volume call. So decided to give a try to Oxygen OS 2.2.0 and I can say I am more then happy with it. Missed some CM customization but nothing I can not handle. On Oxygen , I encounter the bug related to the missing button to close all opened apps - I had to reboot to safe mode then reboot normally to fix it.
I use wifi on work and home, 3g and location always on during day, gps and sound while walking - and I can make it through 2 days before charging, since I watch videos rarely and as long as screen brightness is not set high (I set it at 25%). During the night battery-saver option comes handy.

It's the best in comparison to any other ROM out there. 6)-7 hours of SOT easily
I'm liking the X more and more as I use it.
When I'm using SD card, every time I reboot, I have to enable SD card in camera to use it, is this normal?

Well, battery life is relative. Some days i get 4 hours SoT, sometimes i can get 7. It depends on so many things: whats apps i used that day and for how long, the strength of my wifi/cell signals, screen brightness etc.
On some roms, ive noticed the battery draining very quickly even while not being used.
Right now im using the new CandySix rom and it also has pretty decent battery life.
Whats Your Current favourite Rom?
Why is it favourite?
And Any bug that you aware of....
I Tried few rom and there is always some issue so and i was wondering which rom does people use the most so i can try it.
Thanks you in advance for replying............

Screw'd Android does have a nougat based rom (7.0), check out their Google + page. It runs awesome!!
I am surprised that u guys haven't used uberstock..
It's the fastest a rom on Android can be.. Super smooth and fast
Nitrogen OS has been my bread and butter for a couple months now.
One of my favorite Roms has to be Android Ice Cold Project.
It has so many features that you can mess around with to customize the experience the way you want it.
Probably the only downside to this Rom is that it drains battery much faster than Roms with less features, so if you want features but don't mind losing battery life, then this Rom is for you.
Another Rom I can recommend is jgcaap's custom CM13 builds.
It has a little more features than stock CyanogenMod 13 has but it saves a ton more battery life than AICP.
I've been using this Rom for quite a while now and I've had no problems with it so far.
Hope I've assisted you in some way
Have a great day!

Good day everybody,
More than a year has passed since my dad's phone (note 3) warranty has expired. I would like to improve my dad's Galaxy Note 3 by flashing a custom rom. I believe it is a snapdragon model so it shouldn't be hard? The thing is he uses the camera, s-pen, gps, bluetooth,4g pretty often and a degradation in any of these features would be a big nope for him which would result in reflash back to stock 5.0, now the good thing (maybe) is that he does not need the the big variety of customisation features. After some research I found two possible options, lineageos 14.1 or Resurrection Remix N 5.8.4, these might be the most recent(best) choices?
Which one would be better for his use? I, in no way intend to bash on any of these roms, just trying to find the one.
Version: N9005XXUGBOJ1
Also, what would be the best option to save photos/contacts and transfer them to the custom rom?
Thank you

Resurrectin Remix nor Lineage OS have the s-pen features as they are close to pure stock (S-Pen is more of a Touchwiz thing), so I recommend a Note 7 port (but I would test GPS right away since there might be a problem with a custom ROM and the GPS signal)
As for photos, I recommend Google Drive. For contacts, sync them up with the Google account.

I forgot to mention that he doesn't use the features, the pen is only needed for typing and browsing the phone, he prefers that way. I, lets say, choose lineageos, will the phone recognize the pen for this simple usage?
AFAIK, pen functionality requires a stock ROM or a custom ROM based on a stock ROM.
Stick with stock rom .You are going to get less comeback.

Yep the spen is recognized
I've installed the rom and so far it runs without flaws, battery could be better.
Hey Guys,
I owned an Axon 7 for a while until I dropped it and the screen broke...
now a friend of me is replacing the Axon 7 for something new due battery issues. And i'm able to get this device for free!
I own a Honor View 20, a bit newer device but i just wan't to have the Axon 7 back it was my favorite phone for a long time <3
So ordered a new battery and charging port just to be sure, how is lineage os or perhaps are there any active Axon 7 users that can recommend me any daily user rom?
Best Regards,

crDroid is a great option if you're going custom
If you prefer stock, Slim 8 B04 is also good

Well all oreo roms seem to have all kind of issues it was never stable and perhaps never will be stable. Unless lots of effort is going to put into it by the community. If I read the issues some people had using the B04 Slim and other 8+ roms I think it's to unreliable. If you use this device for Music I think a stock 7.1 is still one of the best options out there.
Building images using docker and perhaps improving the source/kernel tree can be done easy following https://github.com/tonys-code-base/dev-docker-android.

Why is 7.1 better for audio? I've just installed lineage 15.1 and the super HiFi option isn't there and the audio noise floor is a lot higher because of it. Curious to know if the super HiFi is in lineage 14.1 or not.
I am using last updated stock, but need some of Android 11 benefits.
Is there a flawless A11 ROM available?
I really mean flawless.
What is closest.
Nothing i believe, but you have to acknowledge that even the most bug fixed and curated custom Rom will bring some issues... maybe never...
Specially for an old little known phone like the MI A1 with various small teams trying to keep this device alive (amazing works btw guys)
My advice, get a new daily driver, and tinker with your old one, maybe it ends even better than your new phone!
Pixel Experience ROM is the closest to flawless experience on MI A1...
I have installed almost 5-6 custom ROMs on my MI A1 and the Pixel Experience ROM is the only one with bugless experience
