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.

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.

It runs very good on E6883

Flashed the latest Mokee ROM (March 10th version). WOW does it work so well! Other than lack of fingerprint sensor (which I don't use), I've never seen such a stable AOSP ROM as this! Also it comes with working kernel and TWRP recovery! I've already placed SuperSU and Viper4Android and my phone is kicking real hard! Camera is basic but works beautifully, and it reads my 128GB MicroSD card as well.
Really impressed.
Since the new nightly came out, you might give it another try for E6853? It seems to accept single sim model as well, and hopefully that night build resolved not all but some issues?

I can't flash it on my E6833, says device is not compatible during the install , also errors about E: not mounted.

version I used is MK71.2-satsuki-201704211533-NIGHTLY Model : E6853
First link is the picture with the default app.
the other two are screenshots of the default app open
Video also works EDIT:2 (Bug using the Volume keys to Zoom freezes the picture while recording, the recorded video also has this frozen picture) zooming with finger is still ok and working.
https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=T2oxU0EyQ2VmWUtEbDhULXJENU9iVlREdFJUMEV3
Over all this rom is solid. runs extremely fast in comparison to stock, Games load crazy fast, I don't even see the loading screen on one of them anymore.
Google apps are all working
Wifi and mobile data are working
fingerprint reader is working
all standard AOSP features look like they're working normally, I've not had any FCs or problems since last night when i flashed it.
it is missing some features or i'm not sure where to activate them, like the split screen feature of Android 7 .... maybe its not in the AOSP roms yet, or it was taken out as a useless feature.
But over all, very snappy rom. very stable, except for the aforementioned bug in the video recorder, this is my new daily driver i think. a bit more testing and observation but i think Mokee has a winner there.
................................................ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .........................................................
Final Edit.
A few days later
stable. solid. quite simply one of the best open source roms ive used.
faster than stock in every way. has built in root, built in privacy controls, best battery management ive ever seen in a phone.
options for this i thought should have been standard in android already.
like reversing the volume keys in landscape mode.
per app. notification management
DPI setting
much much better app loading. still cant get over how fast my games load.
but ... there is always a but.
the camera after alot more testing, just ain't the same. its a fine camera app. and it works well. as solid as the rest of the rom. but the over all quality when compared​ to my older photos of things I took in the same light conditions, sony stock with post processing just kills it.
gonna go back to custom debloated stock once Xposed is updated for 7.
ill keep an eye on mokee roms though, except that camera. the rom is just amazing. once a top quality decent camera is made that works for this rom. it will easily be the best rom made for this phone.

Post 12 is positive, does anyone have any news about the full functioning of the Rom on the E6853?

Can any one post some screen shots!?

What ROM and Kernel for best battery life

What ROM and Kernel is recommended for best battery performance (G950F)?

I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.

I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try, just downloaded.
I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.

Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.

The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.

That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers

[Discussion] Favourite rom/kernel and why?

Hi all, thought I'd start this discussion (following a success of such thread I started for the OnePlus 5T) just for a place to talk about what rom we're all running at present, for what reasons etc. to offer an overview of what choices are available for our great device. Having this one thread for an ongoing discussion will prove handy for us all to keep up to date.
I've just purchased a Pixel 2 XL which will arrive in a couple of days and I'll be selling my OnePlus 5T. As much as I love it, I really wanted to have the stereo speakers, water resistance, great camera and fast updates.
So indeed, what roms/kernels do people suggest? I'm thinking Nitrogen OS will be my first rom...

I alternate between stock and DU atm. After the March security update, I'm going to try Nitrogen. It was my favorite rom on my 6p, and Nittin, the maintainer, is very good at fixing bugs and offering support. As far as kernels go, it's tough to beat Flash. He updates that kernel shortly after upstream changes are posted. Having said that, Snoke and Ex are also very good if you want to stay close to the stock Google kernel. And that's my 2 pennies worth ??

Yeah not taking anything away from Current ROMs, it's just that the stock ROM with just the right ingredients suites me better :good:
Yes there is a Magisk mod to customise the squeeze, haven't used personally yet though.
I really don't like having Xposed but chose to install for Flat Style Bar Indicators
Flash Kernel .....Just Sublime
Substratum to. change the nav keys
Then just a few Magisk mods as below

Yeah that could be how I end up to be honest! Am I right in thinking that Nitrogen OS is essentially a stock rom but modded? As so opposed to Lineage based or anything like that?
What I most want from a rom:
- stock camera quality/performance
- be able to swap recents/back button
- long press actions (eg back for kill, recents to last app, home button launch torch)
I'm not too bothered about many other mods

How to u alternate du and go back to stock, Everytime I flash du and go back to stock it using script to flash stock to both slots I lost my data because it ask me to factory reset all the time

AquariOS has been my DD going on a month now. Solid and has most everything you would need. Great ROM??

I think i agree with the most of pixel users,
Stock with a personal ingredients on top, that always work best,
My current setup is
• Feb Stock
• Flash Kernel/Kirisakura (am juggling between version)
• xPosed for Instant Face Unlock, Flat Style Status Bar, SudoHide (stop that app update notif in playstore, hide the app from it), and Exposed Edge
• using screen gesture & fingerprint scanner gesture control to do everything (back, home, recent, app cycling, shortcut, you name it). There goes the annoying on screen nav bar. And here come the fully immersive screen, all the time !
• Viper4FX + Dolby Atmos through Magisk
• Nova launcher with icon pack & google companion
• Substratum
• Adblock + WireGuard
• iYTBP - Just like how YouTube supposed to be. Background playback with no Ads.

Simple. My stock rom is on slot A, and my DU is on slot B. When I want to switch, I go into twrp, change to the slot I want to be active, then do a twrp factory reset, then restore my backup and that's pretty much it. I've probably done that half a dozen times in the last month ??

Yeah not taking anything away from Current ROMs, it's just that the stock ROM with just the right ingredients suites me better :good:
Yes there is a Magisk mod to customise the squeeze, haven't used personally yet though.
I really don't like having Xposed but chose to install for Flat Style Bar Indicators
Flash Kernel .....Just Sublime
Substratum to. change the nav keys
Then just a few Magisk mods as below

I alternate between stock and DU atm. After the March security update, I'm going to try Nitrogen. It was my favorite rom on my 6p, and Nittin, the maintainer, is very good at fixing bugs and offering support. As far as kernels go, it's tough to beat Flash. He updates that kernel shortly after upstream changes are posted. Having said that, Snoke and Ex are also very good if you want to stay close to the stock Google kernel. And that's my 2 pennies worth ??

I've been loving nitrogen and flashk. Has been running great since day one. Even with... Xposed installed. Lol. If i need my squeeze fix i go to stock for a bit ?. Never thought squeezie phone would be useful. Ive ran du and AquariOs also. There all great roms, very happy to have as much development as there is for the xl2. As far as kernels ive really only used flash. But all of the a available ones are from great devs and worth trying.

Ever since my first Android device (Nexus 6P), I've mainly run PureNexus. Got a Pixel XL and had PN on that too. Switched to the OnePlus 5 and had PureFusion on that as it was basically PureNexus for the OnePlus 5. Got the 5T and it kind of felt like a downgrade. Vibration motor felt "loose" or weak to me, and initially there was not much development for it, including the lack of PureFusion. Development kicked in eventually but I just wanted to come back to Google at that point.
Found someone to trade my 5T with, and now I'm the happy owner of a 2 XL My setup is:
Stock Feb update
Magisk 16.0
Xposed for Oreo
Using GravityBox to fill in the empty spaces stock leaves. I've always used custom ROMs in the past and this is my first time being happy with stock, and that is mainly because of the customization GravityBox offers!
As for kernels, I use flash because he was super helpful back in the 6P days, and is an awesome developer in general, so I want to support him! Also, he updates so frequently and I'm a total flashaholic (no pun intended:laugh so it's a win-win.
Whenever PureNexus drops, I'll definitely making the switch over, and I may play around with DU if I get some spare time to do so; seems like everyone is really loving that ROM as well
Sorry for the long post/unnecessary backstory of the devices I own, just thought I may as well include that bit in

Need a new rom

I'm on the latest android Q (i think its called that?) My OS is pretty jacked up most likely from not having a full clean install in a long time (setting app has a bizarre name and wifi and bluetooth having odd glitches.)
That being said I'd like to try something new and would love to give AOSP a try or a custom OOS based rom, but I have concerns.
Face unlocking working? I would prefer to keep this feature. (AOSP)
Wifi calling working? I have bad connection around my apartment.
Hows the bluetooth in either custom or AOSP? I get a lot of audio output issues.

Paranoid Android Quartz 4 is my daily driver

So far I tried
paranoid <pretty stable but is to basic for my taste, and no face unlock,
Resurrection remix < great but a little but laggy
Havoc < good stuff recommended
But by far the best is pixenos, man this Rom runs so smooth and has a build in updater!
Gpay works out of the box, It did not need magisk, even tho I installed it for quick switch and lawnchair.
Super easy instalation as well!
I can't stress enough how smooth this rom performs!

Pixel OS just made my list, would like to know a few details though.
1. Is it safetynet passed ?
2. Does it support VoLTE and VoWiFi ?
3. Face unlock and FP unlock works alright ?
4. Any Bluetooth connectivity issues ?
5. How is the audio quality ?

1. Is it safetynet passed ? Yeah, I use magisk, but If I recall correctly it works right out of the box, even without magisk, my banking app and gpay work just fine
2. Does it support VoLTE and VoWiFi ? Honestly I don't know, I guess so, never need to think about that, I just call and it works haha
3. Face unlock and FP unlock works alright ? Yeah, never had a problem with it, it's fast and reliable, I mean for custom roms, I have the feeling that with oos its a tad bit faster, but nevertheless, it works fine
4. Any Bluetooth connectivity issues ? Nope, using Sonys mx4's, Google buds and Samsung buds plus, all work fine
5. How is the audio quality? So far so good, I use viper over magisk to enhance it a little, but for me it's fine overall, but i am not an audiophile... [/QUOTE]

Does any of the rom have dual space like in OOS?
I would like to make leap from OOS but this dual space feature doesn't allow me to do so. As my 2nd whatsapp is very important for me
If there is any other way to get 2nd whatsapp(not whatsapp bussiness) running on same device.
Thanks.
