An update to the H2OS out after a long time. The alternative ROM for the OnePlus devices is now updated to the version 3.0. The Hydrogen OS is mostly designed for the Chinese variants of the Oneplus devices. However, the H2OS 3.0 can also be installed on a regular or international variant of the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T. The ROM brings many new features.
As the Hydrogen OS is a firmware for the Chinese variant, it doesn’t come with the Google Apps pre-installed. You will need to install it separately. Fortunately, we already have a Google play store installed APK which can easily install the Google Play Services onto your Android device.

Thanks dude ! Appreciate it !
Will all the US bands be enabled with Hydrogen OS?
Hi, can anyone using a US OnePlus 3T confirm whether the US version of OnePlus 3T with Hydrogen OS will have the exact same bands enabled as the US version using Oxygen OS? I want to be as Google-free as possible and starting with a manufacturer-supported Google-free ROM like H2OS sounds like a good way to go.
I'm open to other ways to accomplish this but simpler is better for me. Finally moving away from Windows Phone, and yes I know, why would you want Android if you don't want Google? Answer, pathetically trying to cling to ownership of my personal data and can't afford the next best OEM privacy option, the iPhone (which isn't a great privacy option either). Thx!

I've been down this path too many times. It's doable but not easy. First, scrap H2OS since Playstore is preinstalled. I'd go with either a lineage based Rom or Freedom OS (OOS with the option to leave all google and OP Apps out on Installation). Just don't flash Gapps after the Rom.
But thats really the easy part. The hard part is the setup. First, you'd need to sideload at least a browser. Get the browser apk of your choice from a reputable source (xda labs is great. It even manages Updates for you). Depending on the apps you need, you'll need some playstore alternative. Some things can be had through xda-labs. If Open Source is your thing, f-droid is great too. Just don't download apk's from somewhere on the web. Your privacy might be more at risk than with google on it.
Also, get a vcard backup of your contacts (or run your own carddav server). Finally, some apps simply won't run without google framework (that's why it's back on my phone). For example "Bring", a shopping list, won't run without google framework. Don't ask me why. But i need that app. Just be prepared for some major inconveniences, and having to find workarounds... :good:
Thanks for the great input domsch1988. You've given me exactly the tips I need to get started. One question though. You mentioned Playstore is preinstalled on H2OS. I was under the impression the main difference between H2OS and OOS was H2OS's removal of all Google specific stuff to meet China's Google restrictions. I assumed that included Playstore. Are you sure it's in there? I only ask because I'd rather start with a OnePlus supported ROM if I can but if that's not the case I'll take the leap and go with one of the ROMs you suggest. Can you recommend a lineage-based ROM I can start with? And, do you have an opinion on microG as a Play framework replacement? It seems like a good idea in theory but the way it's implemented gives me some security concerns.

OP stated that PlayStore APK is preinstalled. I have not tried h2os, so can't say for sure. You could give it a try. And with root you can always uninstall system apps.
I never tried microg myself. For me it was always no g at all or the pico Gapps package.
As a lineage based ROM, on my note 4 resurrection remix was great. On the 3t I'm on stock oos, so not sure.
Play store or anything Google is not installed on H2OS
i am using it currently tried to go without play store and other apps for one day but couldn't deal with all the Chinese apps so, installed OOS although everything could have been installed on H2OS also.
Ok

Hi, there's some couple of questions I have with some comments on some of them.
First of all, I have heard that installing customing OS is the same for Oneplus 6 and Oneplus 6T. Could it be possible to install LineageOS on the OnePlus 6T?
Is there something missing? Something about the A/B seem to hint that there's probably something I should be aware of.
That's pretty much the few question I have. From what I see so far, it doesn't seem to be possible to install LineageOS on the OnePlus6T.

You may have missed the AOSP thread here in the 6T section. Yes you can install the OP6 Lineage to your 6T, the fingerprint sensor will not work. I ran the OP6 Lineage for a few days, and everything else for the most part just worked. You need to follow the directions exactly in the AOSP thread.
You will have to use the Bluspark OP6 recovery, the 6T recovery will not work. Then install Lineage. I did not have any sound from anything at first. In fact even apps that tried to play sound like VLC would crash, not sure why, once I installed a custom kernel, everything was good to go.
Here is the AOSP thread
Also note there has been a successful test build for the 6T. It's not been released yet though, so Lineage is being worked on. Just give it time, this is still a new device.
So what the Title tells...
MIUI for the Pixel 2 XL (And maybe other Pixels). I want to Port it and to deliver Monthly Updates! I tried various things to get MIUI running on My Pixel 2 XL but i had no luck till now. Is anyone willed to work with Me to get a working Kernel Image for MIUI? I'm not good in Kernel Things and i think there is stuff in our Kernels that prevent some Systems from booting fully up. MIUI does or did also need Kernel Patches to work and i'm the Guy for System Stuff so is there someone with the right Skills? I would really appreciate help to get everything working, so i can continue with a Installer and Monthly Updates... I'm of course talking about Pie MIUI running on a Pie Vendor. Thanks in advance to everyone who will help!
Thanks for your contribution.
There is an interesting saying in China that everything is based on MIUI（万物基于MIUI）,which means the arrogance of Xiaomi.
Hello!
For couple of days I am looking for copperhead OS for Nexus P6, can't find anything. I tried to build but can't even find the source. I am following tor project instruction "Mission Improbable: Hardening Android for Security And Privacy". And I need factory image for Nexus P6. Maybe you could help me out? (official downloads are down)

Copperhead is dead.
Search reddit for the drama.
The good news is that the project was rebooted https://old.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/
The bad news is that there is no Nexus support. Only Pixel devices.
I suspect you're better off with LineageOS because it will include the latest upstream security patches.
Do you think I can substitute LineageOS ROM in this "mission-improbable-hardening-android-security-and-privacy" ? It's a tested system, not sure if the security updates gonna make any significant difference in solid TOR gated device.
I am still looking for a CopperheadOS angler(Nexus P6 compatible) ROM, maybe someone could share, if they know where to get, or have a copy around somewhere?

I don't know the answer to that since I don't understand the implications in regards to TOR.
You might want to drop the question at the GrapheneOS reddit on what they would suggest or if there if any chance for a Nexus 6P rom.
You might also consider buying a second hand Pixel.
Forgive me if I post this in the wrong place, move it if necessary np.
Xda has been my go to for many many phones over the years. Many years. But recently I've grown a little deeper interest with the phone I currently own.
I need some clarity if anyone could please.
I've got a OnePlus 8 pro IN2025 on lineage 20 (whatever latest build in relation to the date on this post) and rooted with magisk 26.1.
Everything is running awesome. Even been able to remove a few Google system apps I despise.. this setup is reminiscent of a couple phones I've run on CM.. I thought those days were over.
So much appreciation to those keeping development alive. Much love.
To the point:
I'm trying to run as much of nethunter as possible without flashing it (and maybe I have the wrong idea so please correct me)
To my understanding, nethunter will require me downgrading to Android 12 with some other ROM - crdroid etc..
Flash twrp\ nethunter - then I have the nethunter ROM installed.
Problem is, I'm still a little attached to some Google stuff. I limit it, but there that is.
I've got the Kali app store installed and a few toys I can play with -
Question is, when I flash nethunter, is it like flashing any other ROM? Thats it. Or is there an equivalent to a "USB live version" that's temporary.. have I gone as far as I can without flashing?
I'm not interested in getting rid of lineage in favor of nethunter.
Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome!
