On Official Cyanogen OS 12.0. Next is what?!

i got around to installing cyanogen os 12.0 without any hitch. but, i want something that has a lot more customisation options.
been reading about a few reputed rom brands viz., PAC-ROM, BlissPop, SOKP, FlexOS, VanirAOSP..... that already have 5.1 releases for yu yureka.
does anyone have first-hand experience on any of these roms (ideally more than one)? which do you think is stable enough for use as 'daily driver'?
thanks in advance for your opinion/comments.

Oxygen Os for MXP

Is there any way that developers can port OxygenOS on to MXP.
Even though many other custom roms has all the features and even more that Oxygen.
Flyme Os is another Rom i am waiting for a long time, but the developer stopped working on that. It would be great to have one of these to have on our MXP, knowing that lenovo is not going to give us anything other than stock android.

Custom OOS based ROMs Vs. Custom AOSP/Lineage ROMs

Can anyone tell me what is the reason to flash AOSP/Lineage Custom ROMs for OP5 when there is ROMs like xXx no limits that based on OOS that lets you customize anything u want.
During the era of OPO, OOS doesn't exist, so it is understandable to flash AOSP/Lineage customs ROMs.
Just curious. Haha

AOSP and Lineage are way closer to stock Android than OOS which is heavily modified. OOS hasn't been close to stock Android since Marshmallow. OOS Nougat and Oreo are coded 100% by the Hydrogen team in China and are basically the Chinese operating system with Google Play Services added. OOS is also very badly coded which is acknowledged widely outside the safe confines of XDA and One Plus has been caught multiple times putting spyware in OOS which is completely normal in China but not in the West.
xXx is also notoriously buggy if you stray too far from OOS in the Aroma installer because OOS reacts unpredictably to mods that normally work on other versions of Android. Something as simple as installing the Google dialer or camera has caused problems where xXx won't boot up or will go into a bootloop.
Go onto the One Plus support site after any OOS update. There will be a ton of people (mostly from India which is the biggest One Plus Market) encountering bugs that the phone owners are not equipped to deal with because OOS is programmed like a custom ROM rather than a stock operating system.

Wow... Thanks for the detailed explanation.
What do you mean by heavily modified?
But in terms of customizability, it is same as AOSP/Lineage Custom ROMs right?
Isn't it good if OOS is programmed like custom ROMs instead of stock operating system?

I mean OOS doesn"t use standard Android code. Their version of Oreo is a Frankenstein mix of Nougat and Oreo code which has been written about pretty extensively outside XDA. This creates unpredictable behavior because Android apps aren't designed to work with such sloppy coding.
By comparing OOS with a custom ROM I'm referring to the fact that it isnt't rock solid flash and forget like the stock ROMs on any name brand Android phone. OOS updates frequently create problems that require user intervention like clearing the system cache and sometimes doing a full factory reset. People who use custom ROMs know to expect that kind of stuff but stock ROMs should be way more stable than that. The average phone consumer with no flashing knowledge is in trouble if he buys a One Plus phone.

Do I need a custom ROM for a rooted device?

Hi guys!
Just a quick question - do I need to bother with a custom ROM on a rooted Oneplus 5? Or I can achieve all the modifications using additional apps with root access?
And if so, which custom ROM brings the most atop the already rich customisation options of OP5?
Thanks

You can do a lot of modifications with root using third-party apps such as substratum, xposed, etc.
Yes, with a custom rom you can make many more changes, I recommend you resurrection remix.

Thanks a lot for your opinion!
How does the Resurrection compare to LineageOS? I'm quite confused about all the options

Lineage OS could be said to be a kind of AOSP with minor modifications. From lineage os, developers create their own roms based on it, usually, there are exceptions. Resurrection Remix has taken the best of these roms: "CM team, Lineage, DU, AICP, OMNI team, SLIMROMS", thus allowing the user from a menu in settings to make a lot of changes. I do not know if I explained well.

Your explanation is very good, thanks!

Why no official custom ROMs

Hi guys,
I have question about the custom roms for k20 (mi 9t) there is lots of roms for k20 pro (mi 9t pro) but why our k20 developing slowly, no official rom like pixel experience, aosp extended, dotOS, etc..
Sorry for bad english and someone explain me about this situation.
Thank you.

There will not be too many teams working on our smartphone. It is the only possible answer. Official groups create roms for the k20 pro and small groups and single people porting the rom for us.
K20 pro is more attractive for make roms.

because to get official status e.g. with LineageOS it has to be fully opensource and have no major bugs and fulfil some other requirements too. Majority of the ROMs here are using MIUI vendor image, not custom aosp, which is the main issue. And even the ROMs that are fully AOSP are not maintained up to the required standards. It requires a lot of additional effort and the devs would need to accept certain aspects they do not want to accept or don't have the capacity to do so. I wouldn't expect official custom ROM anytime soon, maybe 6 months from now once Android 10 ROMs would become somewhat stable and the vendor image will be perfected to the point it won't cause random battery drains, popup camera, display flickering etc. problems.

The guys said it all.
1, our device isn't too popular, K20Pro is the one most got.
2nd Xiaomi isn't 100% opensource.
