I believe PixelDust and AOSiP ROMs both come with this feature if you aren't opposed to a custom ROM. Otherwise, I have no idea how to help you on stock.

I use WETA which I guess is a modified debloated stock. Get to keep the stock lg camera and second screen. Have magisk and xposed working too.
Although I'm probably switching to a AOSP rom like Resurrection once the 2nd screen api is more stable to implement.
Missing the smoothness and customizations from my 6p ROMs without having to a use a bunch of xposed modules.

Version 87 api 24. Haven't tried the systemless one so my safetynet fails.

List of GSI roms

Just a list of GSI roms, theoretically these roms should work for our device.

I have this problem with the resurrection rom. Every once in a while it will boot normally. I just reboot maybe 2-3 times and the bug resolves itself.

Most stable 8.1 rom for A2?I mean...i want 100% working camera...like in stock.Is stock camera working in custom roms.
I installed pixel experience P, everything it's working but the led, and i can't find adaptive brightness.
Is it the same way on other gsi too?
Guys I recently bought Mi A2 and I'm new to this A/B Partition and GSI roms. I was wondering if there is good 8.1 GSI rom for our phone which can be used as daily driver. I'm ok with minor bugs.
Thank you.

I switched to RN5 AI 4/64GB.I wait to unlock bootloader and try roms and mods.I didn't try nothing with A2 becuse of A/B partitions.RN5 is better for moding and flashing.Camera is slightly better on A2.RN5 is battery beast and performance are similar.
Hello Before I will do this can i have some questions please
I have Samsung Tab a T295XXU4CUK4
What Partition I Have ?
What Rom is the best for tablets?
Will it possible to flash without root?

Custom ROM

Hi, which custom ROM is the Best an why? And which kernel? I have stock open beta with stock kernel and magisk. Thanks

There is no best ROM. Just install the one with the specification that could please you. Same for kernels.

No matter what rom you try.. fingerprint doesn't work yet
As someone who has tried them all, the treskmod omnirom by max tresk is by far the romkiller. It's the best period. Not on this forum. Google Fu it.
I preferred stock after trying a few AOSP ROMs about a week ago. The battery life and stability of stock alongside having a working FP scanner and the nice screen-off gestures were enough to keep me on stock. At least OnePlus's OS is very close to a stock Android experience.

A few of us would counter that tresk mod on this device operates smoother than stock. Gestures included, in built theming. And no fingerprint, but I don't ever use it anyways. I get 11 hrs sot.
Tresk Mod is pretty good and the in built kernel is really good. No need to use another one. There is also an official Dirty Unicorn Fajita built. Both you will not found on XDA....

Hi, just a quick side question. Does this ROM come with a custom kernel? And if so, is it RedFlare? Because i have heard about RedFlare kernel and not sure if its the same that comes with the ROM.

I haven't tried many ROM's yet but I'm really liking Havoc. It's loaded with options and runs smoother than Stock. I actually really hate OOS which is why I finally decided to root and install something else after over 4 months on OOS. Most overrated phone OS in history.

Hey Guys!
Is Face Unlock included in custom roms??
I think i can get past the FP not working. But then Face Unlock does have to work.
Thanks..... Cheers, Matt.

Stock vs Custom rom

I was thinking of switching to a custom rom (Mainly RR or POSP), but I don't know if I should install a custom rom on 6T.
Any thoughts?

Stock or Stock Beta with EdXposed and some Magisk modules.
Let's you do almost anything you can with a custom ROM.
Until recently custom ROMs didn't support the FP scanner.

I tried EdXposed and it is unstable AF and magisk modules just fix some annoyances.
If you are on Verizon, as of now 4-23-19, no custom ROM appears to support MMS. Except for Havoc, and even then, crappy picture quality has been reported.
So I'm going to go back to oos9013. Which is a major pain in the butt because I have to format my internal SD and use a USB drive to revert to the March security patch...

Interesting.
I'm using TWRP 3.3.0, Beta 8, Magisk 19, ElementalX 3.15, Riu Core and Riu EdXposed 0.3.1.2 and my phone is very stable.
I'm also using Nova Prime as my launcher.
I get 0 force closes. No random reboots.
Currently my phone has been up for 2 days and 10 hours.
My phone only reboots only when I manually reboot.

Used the exact same setup and it was stable (however it was like 2 moths ago)
I was (and still probably am) a ROM flashaholic, but for the first time I've been very happy with stock OOS.
I may install a custom ROM in the future (probably Omni or Havoc) but users always seem to report some bug, whether it's big or small.
I haven't had any issues on OOS so I could very well end up sticking with it. Only downside is having to reboot to see Substratum overlays, but no where near a deal breaker.

Nope! And this is coming from a retired ROM Dev. I would keep stock and root it. If I were to make a no nonsense ROM it would be pretty identical to the stock ROM.
And this is not a dis to any ROM Dev either.

Who uses MMS? That's so 2010 ?
No for real, is that still being used? I live in the Netherlands. Nobody uses that anymore since there are much better apps for that nowadays....
I'd rather keep the OEM developers of the phone updating my stable stock firmware well over some stranger online that does it as a hobby.
Pros and cons of custom rom on 6T
Pros:
- Slight interface change (OOS is very similar to AOSP)
- AOD
- Volume rocker music controls
- UI customization
Cons:
- Jagged rounded corners. OOS has a slight border that's smooths the corners/notch. Every custom rom does not have this and will leave you with choppy corners on the screen.
- FP reader isn't as good. It just hit custom roms and is buggy
- AOSP gestures are 100x worse than OOS
- Only a couple of stable roms. If you want a feature packed rom it will be unstable. If you want a stable rom it will only have 1 feature. There really isn't an in between rom.
I would stay on OOS. Custom roms are slowly dying as stock systems have implemented all the old great custom rom features. You're basically adding a few things to your phone while sacrificing stability honestly.

I don't recommend either.
I was on stable ROM and decided to go to Beta based on what I've heard about stability.
I've found my current combination very stable. I've been up 4 days with no unexpected reboots.

Agreed with what he said. I'm perfectly content not changing ROMs.
Everything "works" on OOS.
Battery life is stout.
Volume Rocker can control music both with and without root (easier with) with simple app (Button Mapper). He's a dev on here.

Good luck having a working finger print reader on any custom ROM. I don't see the point of swapping out the ROM on this phone. I definitely see the points to root vs not root (despite initially not rooting this phone the first few months of ownership).

lack of development

Just picked up the pixel 4 And hopped in here to see what's going on. It seems like there is a serious lack of development. Am I missing something? Last pure Google phone was a Nexus 6. I've been with OnePlus for a while. Not hating just curious if I'm just missing something.

any roms cross device? i know we have pixel dust, just curious anything else.
I've seen it mentioned here on XDA that some Project Treble GSI ROMs are working with Pixel 4.
I tried out flashing some Project Treble ROMs to my Pixel 3a, and sadly, everything seems to work great except there is an issue with the RIL. So that means no SIM card recognition and no WiFi. This seems to occur with only a handful of devices.
I would 100% try it out. Its actually super easy and quick to install with fastboot, so I would give it a shot before giving up hope. I'm thinking about picking up a Pixel 4 just so I can have a daily driver with some AOSP ROMs on it!

Here is a list of Treble ROMs:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
It would be worth looking through the threads on the ROMs you are interested in. Some devices are reported to work great with Treble ROMs, and others may have limited compatibility or stability. I've seen reports where users on many phones had no complaints.
Here are just a few links to guide you through the installation:

at first i was sad for the lack of development on this device (as someone else mentioned lack of TWRP surely accounts for some of the reason). but then it's not so bad just getting little familiar with basic adb and fastboot commands. then we have some great kernels that work with our P4 (i prefer freak07's kirisakura). i can get pretty much any features i miss from custom rom's through either magisk modules or installing edxposed and xposed modules and gravitybox. this guide from the 4xl forums worked perfectly for me to install xposed and keep gpay and safetynet passing (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/xposed-discussion-thread-t3992607). still a little sad the regular 4 doesn't get as much love as the XL version, but i'm actually very happy with stock rom modded!
