[ZIP][Firmware/Radio][Baseband] Recovery flashable firmware and radio [2.2.1-X-0] - OnePlus X General

Code:
Disclaimer:
I will not take any responsibility for anything bad that may happen to your device.
Use the ZIP at your own risk.
This is a flashable ZIP containing all the latest firmware and radio components from official OnePlus OTA updates. Notably it contains the baseband. This is meant for those using custom ROMs, but still wishing to update the baseband and all the other extra partitions (custom ROMs only cover /system and /boot).
NOTE: This is no magic tool which fixes or improves anything, it simply updates the baseband and other extra stuff to the latest version from official OxygenOS.
It is tested with the latest official TWRP and Sultaxda unofficial CM13.0, but it should work fine with any ROM.
Please report any issue you may have and whether it works for you or not (meaning you were able to flash it and it did not break anything).
Instructions: Download the ZIP from the link below and flash through recovery.

Thanks a lot, this will be very useful. Just the other day i had an issue with the touchscreen (ghost touching when writing fast in swiftkey) that i thought was hardware and turned out to be software because i flashed back to oxygen before flashing the custom rom again and everything worked good again. Probably something got messed up because of flashing several custom roms and flashing oxygen probably fixed it because it flashed back everything like it was supposed to be

SO basically this can be flashed on any ROM and is an enhancement to the baseband right ? Should be helpful for me as i have never gone back to Stock since OOS 2.1.3 lol

Did it work? Earlier i extracted modem from 2.2.1-x and flashed but nothing was changed. None of the ROMs are wiping modem partition, so if someone has ever upgraded to 2.2.1-x,he shouldn't need it. We have yellow line for network connectivity in almost all MM Roms and I thought it might be something related to marshmallow. If it works, that would be awesome. If you have any explanation for this, please share.

More than an enhancement it's an update of baseband and other firmware stuff (all official, nothing custom made by me), useful in cases like yours. It should work with any ROM indeed.

..Ok someone hast to be the first to ask stupid questions =)
What's the use of this .zip? What benefits do I get out of it?
Concerning radio, on Oos I noticed in Battery detail I always got a solid green bar at signal strength. On sultan's cm13 it varies, but mostly yellow or worse signal.
I thought this also means worse battery life, battery drain. I asked this in the corresponding thread and someone answered that it's just a cosmetic thing, radio isn't changed with custom rom or essentially the same so there won't be additiional battery drain.

dont remember if it was me that said it was cosmetic (i said it, but i think it was on cm13 official thread,not on Sultan's) and it really is. I get like 1% battery drain on cm13 which would be impossible if my cell reception was equal to having those orange lines when the phone is deep sleeping. And you can easily check that by turning the screen on after a period of inactivity, just look at the cell icon on the statusbar right after turning the screen on, it will be at full signal (in my case, because in my house i have full signal) even though it shows orange lines on battery stats

Ok.. I generally get more battery drain overnight. I read in many posts normal drain would be around 5%.
What bothers me is that the battery drain is kind of unpredictable for me..I don't know.. I'm always careful with apps and functions that drain battery. I also use greenify.
Flashed nano gapps. In Profiles tab I disabled sync for most stuff.
Now mm has this new doze mode...Is it equal to deep sleep? Also tasker app told me it would be a bad idea to enable doze for tasker, so I disabled it. Does this mean my phone can never get into doze, deep sleep just because of one app that's not optimized?
Also under Apps i can't find a way to get all currently active apps in mm.

I think most people here are very obsessed with battery life and use stuff that has to be very well configured, otherwise it may cause extra drain (im looking at amplify for example). I dont use any battery saving apps and have excellent standby time. But i think its mostly because i have very good cell reception. Cell reception has a major impact on this phone. And at night i turn off wifi and data (i see no use in them being on, i just turn them on when i wake up). Just today, on 8 hours of sleep i lost 1%. But i have seen people with bad cell reception have really bad battery life

You can use Better Battery Stats to see whats draining your battery and to see if your phone goes into deep sleep, when it goes and so on.
Well, I flashed this firmware/baseband, will report if I see any changes. :cyclops:

I let tasker handle these things. I scanned "cell coordinates" while at home and told tasker only to switch wifi on if these match.
So if I'm not at home wifi is deactivated. Signal scanning is going on anyways so there's no additional drain like it would be if I relied on gprs location.
Data is always off, tasker only activates it if I start certain apps like browser and gets disables it if I close the app.
One thing that's always on is bluetooth...maybe I should make a routine where it gets deactivated overnight and activated again in morning.

I tried that and got strange behaviour. App tells me it has to be installed as privileged app but the auto install routine failed. Somehow it seemed to work anyway as I was able to enter the app and got some stats.
Now ofter May 17th update I only get to auto routine install screen. It also says I can copy the .apk in /system/priv-apps...Looked in there and better battery stats apk is already in there.

About this thread
Ok, I updated the first post to try and clarify a bit what this flashable package is for, since I think there is/was some confusion.
To quickly answer doubts like "what do I gain?": if you flash it, it updates your baseband and some other firmware stuff to be on par with the latest OxygenOS version. You may want to do this for many reasons, but it will not magically fix any data issue on MM ROMs (still you can try if you feel it may help).

So, files on this thread are from last version 2.2.1-X.
Maybe it's not the right place to ask but once radio is updated, is it permanent ? If i flash full 2.2.1 rom from here : http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/ will the radio change or it allways keep the lastest ?
Thanks

Will this fix the CM13 T-mobile cellular data bug? (On CM13 roms, when leaving Wi-Fi, cellular data does not connect. Instead it shows "LTE!" and cannot be fixed unless I manually turn off and on cellular data or airplane mode, or restart the phone.) Additionally, does this change any settings related to bluetooth? I was having poor bluetooth connectivity on CM13. Switched back to Oxygen OS and everything works perfectly. Would like to go back to CM13 though for MM features. If anyone has any info please report back. Thanks!

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for...
But what should the baseband version be after flashing this, as I'm pretty sure mine didn't change?
(can't remember what version of OOS I was on before moving to custom roms as it was a while ago now)

Will always keep the latest from the last oso you have installed just before you current custom rom.

If you flash stock ROM it will overwrite the radio since it contains everything. This is actually based on the official OOS zip.

This is not a fix for any bug and I saw no clear report of improvements after updating with this ZIP or flashing stock prior to custom ROM, but you can try, it may help. Honestly I am not sure if any of these firmware pieces contains anything for bluetooh, but again you can flash it if in doubt.

I didn't check either before flashing latest stock, but now you should have .4.0.1.c7-00013-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

[Q] Battery Drain in slimbean

Hello
I recently installed my first rom - SlimBean 4.3.1 bulid 2.2
The rom works fine but after 1 week i noticed my battery start to drain very quickly.
I check with GSam Battery Monitor and i found out that *kernel* eat most of my battery.
I want to change the kernel.
which kernel will save my battery in a better way?
My current kernel is: 3.0.80+

Dan,
Can you give a little more information? Type of phone, which version of Android you upgraded from etc?
I can't say that I've encountered any battery drain issues with Slimbean in the past..... it's only ever helped things.
The only question I'd ask is did you follow the correct instructions when flashing? (deleting / formatting all of the cashes etc don't just do a factory reset). Your probably a very clever guy who did everything correctly - but it's the only thing I can think of.
I'd try re-flashing following the instructions on the slimbean website to the letter......
Hope this helps

He didn't say that. He was asking Dan did he correctly followed the installation procedures or not, because issues sometimes caused from previous rom installations leftovers (not properly wiped).
And to your question, custom kernels is just a matter of individual preference. You may install any kernel as long as they are compatible with slimroms.
Although any issues caused by other kernel shouldn't be discussed in slim threads. But if you're using stock slim kernel and having problems then you may report to the devs, but make sure that problems aren't listed on the OP's Known Issues, and also provide feedback support files such as logcats or screenshots so the devs could identify the problems right away ?
Battery drainage issues
Hello,
I have recently installed SlimBean 4.2.2 on my Xperia S.
This is my first custom ROM and my previous OS was Stock 6.2.B.1.96.
Needless to say I've rooted my phone (using DoomLord's Technique), have CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 and Unlocked the bootloader.
I had cleared data, cache, dalvik Cache before flashing the Slim-nozomi-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.zip and Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.8.zip
Issues:
Heavy battery drain - I left my device overnight with all radios off (Airplane mode) and the device registered a loss of 10% in battery level [ 2 Screenshots attached ]
The GSM network radios doesn't turn on when I change the Airplane Mode toggle in Notification Bar
Unrelated - How do I use the AIO_Addons.zip and AIO_Aroma.zip?
Unrelated - Does flashing a Custom ROM mean that Google Apps won't be updated via Play Store? ( Tried once - got invalid signature error )
Steps taken to remedy this (Beginner level):
Installed WakeLockDetector app to find what's up with the ROM. Turns out Google Search had maximum wakelocks [ Attached Screengrab ], despite me Greenifying the app.
I've greenified Google Search app and couple of other network accessing apps (like feedly, pocket, FalconPro (twitter client) )
Dear XDA-ers, kindly help me remediate this issue, as I truly like the ROM..but I'm sure such issues can be solved. Otherwise It wouldn't be the stable ROM that it is.
Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.
First post here, apologies if I may have offended anyone's sensibilities.

[XT1033 INDIA] Issues with 5.0.2 solved in 5.1, as Tested by me

A. Phone, Router & Firmware info:
1. My Phone : MotoG XT1033 Asia [Nov 2013 Model INDIA]
2. My WiFi Router : DSL-2750U_ADSL_Modem (U1, IN_1.08)
3. Root/Mod Status : No Mods, Not Rooted (Normal)
4. Old Firmware : Lollipop 5.0.2 [220.21.28] Stock
5. New Firmware : Lollipop 5.1 [221.21.56]
6. Update method :
a) File "Blur_Version.221.21.56.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip" downloaded in PC. (file md5-checksum = 94856deaaa3f23a1163120b362cbaef10, 208.7 MB )
b) File copied to phone's sdcard/Internal memory.
c) "apply update from sdcard" thru phone's BootLoader/Recovery menu.​effect same as update thru OTA file, but safer.
7. Updated Date : Sep 12, 2015.
8. Status : Update successfully installed.
9. Post update actions : wiped cache partition (thru fastboot & recovery menu)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Issues with 5.0.2 solved in 5.1 (Sep-2015), as experienced/Tested by me
1. WiFi re-connection issues after disconnect, with Channel-13 or auto-channel, earlier in 5.0.2.
(eg: when enforced WiFi disable/enable or by moving out/in of Wifi range).
These issues are solved in 5.1, even with Channel-13 selected (either manually or auto).
2. When an incoming call, is not picked-up even after screen timeout time (say 15 secs), then ringing stops, & display switches off. Accepting the call after this is very difficult. This issue is solved in 5.1
3. Gallery Application fails/ Misbehaves.
Albums/Videos, shows blank squares/Tiles. Problem temporarily solves on reboot, but only for one invocation. This issue is solved in 5.1
4. Two Photo icons in App Drawer. This issue is solved in 5.1.
5. The phone lagging response issues seems to be improved, if not altogethor solved.
At least it is more responsive (response time faster), and smoother to operate, than in 5.0.2.
But the final verdict on this can only be provided after some extended time of usage (say few weeks or more).
Earlier with 5.0.2 it was horrible, especially as time went by, and I was planning to revert to stock Kitkat-4.4.4.
So I want to know others experience regarding phone resposniveness w.rt 5.0.2 in 5.1
6. I am not facing any early Battery drainage issues in 5.1 w.r.t 5.0.2, as reported by some others.
In my opinion, if only it is better. But not sure (feedback only with couple of days usage)
Anyway surely not very bad than earlier.
7. CPU SpyPlus now reports 300 Mhz as min scaling freq, as against 787 Mhz in 5.0.2.
I am sot sure how significant this is. But some people reported this as a problem in 5.0.2
The highest reported freq is 1190 Mhz.
Incidentally some people are referring to this update as 5.1.1 instead of 5.1, here in these & related forums.
I am only seeing Android Version as 5.1 in : Settings --> About Phone Menu.
with Baseband version = MSM8626BP_1032.3116.98.00R and
Kernel version = 3.4.42-g89906d6
So I dont know whether Motorola is released or releasing any newer version 5.1.1 other than this one.
I think people are confusing this with 5.1.1.
I would like to hear other experts comments regarding this.
Even i updated my moto g XT1033 (India) model yesterday. Was running on CM12.1 before so had to flash 5.0.2 stock and then got the OTA update directly.
The changes are minor but what matters is performance and RAM Management and Battery Life.
1. The performance as mentioned by the OP has really improved. Device feels snappier and more usable then 5.0.2
2. I see many people even after updating to complaining about memory leaks but personally in my device i have 300-400mb of memory free (I have downloaded and updated all the apps and many apps like facebook whatsapp etc are running in background)
3. Another major change that i was able to notice was the battery life has improved (comparing to both cm12.1 based /AOSP based/ 5.0.2 stock) specially the stand by time went to bed with 90% and woke up with around 84% (where in cm12.1 it was used to be 70%)
am personally happy with this update even though it was too late. I'd appreciate if motorola could push the 5.1.1 update too since that does not contain any major changes (security patches).
PS: YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL GET UPDATED TO 41:1A this doesn't mean you cannot flash or root. You can flash and root by the same procedures but make sure to use the latest TWRP AND SUPERSU ZIPS.
Hey OP thanks for the post.
Can you also check if the Screen going completely black issue has been solved as well?
If you check Adaptive Brightness in
Settings>Display and reduce the brightness via the slider the screen goes black. It's like the phone is off, but it's really not. (be careful, don't forget where the slider is so you can crank it up again).
Can you confirm if this is still present in 5.1?
Thanks a lot!
Do you experience any battery drain bug such as Google Play Store or the infamous mobile standby drain ? Would love to hear your feedback about this. Last time I've tried some 5.1 custom roms they had this bug, which prompted me to switch back to 4.4.4.
Thanks.
Hi guys, thanks for your reports.
Could you please comment about the "mobile data active" issue? Is it solved or, at least, mitigated in 5.1?
Thanks!

You only need to install TWRP on your device and enter recovery mode.
Once there, you go to "Reboot" and then "System", TWRP will ask if you want to root and will run SuperSU script.
When you boot to Android again, TWRP will update itself over Play Store.

3. Another major change that i was able to notice was the battery life has improved (comparing to both cm12.1 based /AOSP based/ 5.0.2 stock) specially the stand by time went to bed with 90% and woke up with around 84% (where in cm12.1 it was used to be 70%)
am personally happy with this update even though it was too late. I'd appreciate if motorola could push the 5.1.1 update too since that does not contain any major changes (security patches).
PS: YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL GET UPDATED TO 41:1A this doesn't mean you cannot flash or root. You can flash and root by the same procedures but make sure to use the latest TWRP AND SUPERSU ZIPS.

Wow! I was worried that when the next update will come I need to flash stock recovery.
I don't know why but my Moto G with 30-35 apps installed (Facebook,messenger, swiftkey etc...) sometimes it's just freeze for like 10-15 seconds and that wasn't happend in 5.0.2.

Hey OP thanks for the post.
Can you also check if the Screen going completely black issue has been solved as well?
If you check Adaptive Brightness in
Settings>Display and reduce the brightness via the slider the screen goes black. It's like the phone is off, but it's really not. (be careful, don't forget where the slider is so you can crank it up again).
Can you confirm if this is still present in 5.1?
Thanks a lot!

It has been fixed in 5.1 for me. I put slider to the extreme left and there was flickering it screen going black at all.

OREO ROM DISCUSSION (Please Share Beta ROM here;if available)

<Mod Edit>
Thread closed.
Any final version release date announce?
Since Oreo official release is somewhat obscure, need some enlightment before flashing this :
1. Kindly confirm I will not lose any data
2. It's WW/Global version
3. In case the official ROM becomes available, can we use the same recovery method to flash it.
All those who are eager to try out this rom but are skeptic as how will it work ,and the the bugs.
To them i will say that go ahead and flash this rom & u will never regret.
No whatsapp bug encountered,its fixed.
The rom is perfect without any bug, no lags infact it is quite stable as an official rom.
and yess the battery backup is better than any of the roms i ever installed on this device,let it be marshmallow or noghat. i usually on my usage would get around 5 hrs sot on noughat, but on this i am glad to inform that i get aroung 6 hrs of sot.
this rom doesnt seem to be a beta.........it is perfect to release officially.
Go ahead and try out the rom guys, and you will thank me the for the advice.
Just installed, seems to be ok for now
Thanks

1) On this new update, please backup all of your data because you will lose it.
2) It's WW version (CN,TW, JP will NOT WORK)
3) I will suggest you to downgrade your phone to Nougat (WW 14.2020.1712.85) and upgrade to Official Oreo ROM by ASUS; if available)

1) The battery backup isn't great on this Oreo ROM (because it overheats our devices). Marshmallow is way way better in terms of battery life. Nougat ROM is pure sh*t.
2) This ROM contains bugs (for example OIS stabilization, overheating, 2nd row of status bar touch problem (hit or miss), APK installation problem from Telegram etc. So it's partially stable I would say.
Has anyone else realised that battery lasts longer with data saver on
I did not lose data when updating... Even my chrome tabs are there

Well thats wierd because i didnt encountered any of the above problems you have listed.
my phone doesnt gets heated even on heavy usage. battery backup is great (3 cycles with 6 hrs sot each)
no apk installation error i got, even ive installed telegram.
only one bug i encountered was while using twin app feature for whtsapp, the twin whatsapp profile pic was not able to upload, but thats nothing.
i love the fluidity of the rom.
The lock screen clock is the worst looking clock I have ever seen on Android. Is there a way to change it?

Treble ROMs and sh*t battery life: suggestions to improve?

Right now I've testing Phh Treble 8.x (based on pure AOSP) for the past 2 weeks, and I'm mostly liking what I see.....except the battery drains too fast. I'm getting about 4 to 6 hrs SOT. Drain when idle/dozing isn't too bad, except when my 4G LTE signal gets weak in certain areas.
Some basic info:
Kernel: Schwifty v5
SELinux always permissive (by unpacking boot.img with Android Image Kitchen, making a few edits, then repacking)
ROM is pre-rooted with Phh's Superuser (already built into ROM, not by me, I wont touch Magisk)
ROM is deodexed, I did this manually with SuperR's Kitchen, the GSI as provided is odexed by default
Xposed installed, with 2 modules (ForceDoze for doze parameter tweaking, and GravityBox O)
Data/cache are ext4 (I gave up on F2FS after getting some extreme corruption/instability on other devices I own)
Bootstack: I have tried @Oki's modded B12 bootstack, as well as LOS 15.1 bootstack
Modem: LOS 15.1
boot.img/vendor.img sourced from LOS15.1
No GApps package/components are installed (I do, however, use MicroG, Play Store, and F-Droid for apps)
I currently charge twice a day, I use Battery Charge Limit to limit charging to 80/85%, and start charging between 10 to 20%. I dont charge in between at all, except maybe for short emergency sessions when I cant afford risking the battery dying. I use the ZTE stock power supply and a Anker PowerLine braided cable (original ZTE cable shorted out months ago and couldnt reliably transfer data to/from PC). Ampere shows my battery capacity to be 3100mah, which I believe is normal and healthy for an A7.
I have tried with the stock boot.img (patched by Schwifty), and my modded img that sets SELinux permissive, no difference in battery life. I need it set that way because my dalvik cache directory doesnt populate after deodexing, SElinux blocks something when enforcing, making for long boot times (up to several mins). I have also tried without Schwifty. I tried Hellsgate as well but there are too many app forced closed that does not occur with Schwifty.
I deodexed the ROM because I use MicroG, it requires a patched framework.jar for signature spoofing support. But you cannot patch an odexed framework.jar.
In regards to bootstacks, there seems to be no discernable difference in battery life, regardless of whether I'm using modded B20 BS or LOS15.1 BS. It is said that B12 BS isnt battery efficient, but LOS BS doesnt seem to be any better.
As for the modem, maybe I will try with B12/B20 stock A2017U modem instead of LOS, I personally believe that the modem may be playing a role in this, since battery seems to drain much faster in low signal areas.
I chose LOS boot.img/vendor.img as the best choice, because they are updated regularly, whereas our other devs dont update these images (required by Treble ROMs) very often. ZTE never blessed up with official Treble support, so the onus is on the dev community to carry the mantle and keep these up to date.
At this point I am about ready to go back to AOSP Extended Nougat and call it a day, SOT there was much better with Radioactive kernel. But Phh Treble is smooth, stable, no lags or crashes, and I have found alternatives/workarounds for all the functionality I need. I am a minimalist by philosophy, I dont like to install lots of apps or unnecessary stuff, preferring to keep things to the essentials. But I would like to continue testing for awhile longer before turning back.
I started this thread to solicit suggestions in regards to better battery life on Treble ROMs.
A few absolutes:
1. I will not use Magisk under any circumstances
2. Pie ROMs wont be considered, since Xposed doesn't support Pie
3. I will not use LOS as my ROM, because it gets too many OTA updates (almost every day). I like to make direct changes to the system partition (no Magisk systemless mods), frequent updates mean I constantly have to undo/redo my changes. Phh Treble gets updates once every couple of months, I can deal with that cycle.
Thanks!

Did you try raystefs new crDroid build?
What has a other build to do with battery life? Change your Battery lol.And 4 - 6 hours sot is good,not something to complain about i think.And maybe check your fuel gauge as more people report they gauge is of
This thread makes me laugh very hard. Thank you for making me live another day from laughing. ?
@EBeatFLA: crDroid, while being as good as any other 8.x ROM for the A7, has one major flaw:
It is only rootable with Magisk. I tried rooting it by flashing SuperSU, the standalone versions of Phh, and the Treble flashable Phh root zip, none worked. All of these are supposed to patch sepolicy, normally located in the ramdisk within boot.img, but it seems that with Treble sepolicy has moved elsewhere, probably to /vendor. With Treble these zips cant patch sepolicy since it isn't in the expected location. There is also a LOS su addon which might work, but many of my root apps dont work with it, and it doesnt support automatic script execution on boot. In short, I won't use a ROM that locks me into Magisk as the only root solution.
@Predatorhaze: Have you been using Android very long? I have, since 2009. That is long enough to know that what ROM you choose will have a major impact on battery life. Some ROMs are good for this, others not so much. There is nothing wrong with my battery, 3100mah is normal for our device, and I've verified this number with several apps. In fact, ZTE returned to me a refurbished device a little more than 2 weeks ago, so I assume the battery is fine and not degraded. Refurb means, basically, a used device that has been tested and is certified to (theoretically) work as well as a new device of the same model. 4 to 10 hrs SOT isnt very good, not to me, not when I was previously getting 8 to 10 on AOSP Extended N. Besides, the battery drain issues with Treble have been voiced by many others, I'm not the only one.
@SaintZ93: I have to ask what you find funny. I start a serious discussion, you drop in with a 2 sentences post that offers no useful info and adds nothing useful. It's too bad there isn't a dislike/not thanked button below every post, because I would be clicking it right now.
I'm currently testing Resurrection Remix 8.x official GSI, under similar conditions, battery life is a bit better, but not by much. One thing I have noticed with both ROMs is that when the % drops, oftentimes it will be more than one, like from 85 to 83 almost as soon as I unplugged it, with the device idle on home screen and not being used.
You want info? SuperSU is way old and out dated so you have no choice but to deal with magisk.

i have these same problems with battery %,and my battery from 1 year old still sits on 2800mah.Everyone has the same problem

Recommendation

NEED rom Recommendation Battery+Performance+Customization (if possible)
Doesn't matter if its oreo or pie based
Currently On Stock Oreo January Security patch
Performance is Not Good,Battery hardly survives
3hrs on screen Time
3 hours screen on time - battery needs replacement. Its just 10 bucks. Get a new battery for 10 bucks and swap it or get used to run everywhere around with a powerbank connected to your phone.
I got 2 days with fresh battery and latest stable LineageOS image clean installed (with ./flash-all.sh and TWRP)
@abdullahk6809
Alright, so i figured it would be easier to post via my computer rather than my phone.
TLDR : If you don't want to read all of this then stick with 8.1 roms for the best battery life and no issues. Cr droid and Resurrection Remix both posted their final 8.1 builds and both have run flawlessly for me. The same goes for AICP and AFAIK they are still merging up stream changes though minor with their weeklies.
As far as 9.0, we do not have official support, so it's still being worked on to get the best experience/no issues. AICP 9.0 has worked out the best for me with 9.0 then followed by Resurrection Remix.
There is a huge thing you need to be aware of if you're not already, that being our 9.0 roms currently use two different types of encryption. AOSIP, AICP, Resurrection Remix, CR Droid all use full disk encryption. (FDE) which is the same encryption we have always used. For that you just use the offical TWRP. All of the 9.0 stock roms currently are using file based encryption(FBE) and for that you need to use a specific TWRP that was made for it, and if you are currently on FDE (which you are) you need to format data after flashing the rom, meaning you will WIPE ALL OF YOUR INTERNAL. IF you decide to go back to an 8.1 rom, or try one that uses FDE, you will need to do the same process. Switch back to the offical TWRP, and format data after you flash the rom. If you go to FBE and stay on it, then you do NOT need to format data/switch twrp going one from FBE rom to another FBE rom, or updating the current rom.
So when choosing what to flash, you need to read the OP of each rom and know which encryption it uses, or it will not boot. Roms that run FBE AFAIK always have the twrp needed linked in the OP.
With 9.0, as i said, it is still a work in progress since we have lost official support. So if you read the threads some people are reporting issues with calls, Volte, issues with whatsapp etc.. So read the threads at least the last 15 or so pages to see if people are currently having issues. Like i said previously i could tell you to go flash x rom, because it works the best for me. But then you have issues because you use whatsapp and can't send voice messages or w/e and i don't use it. With people using the device for different reasons, you need to take time to see what works for you versus just a one word answer that will work for you.
A lot of people are having issues with 9.0 because of battery life, but I do not see a huge decrease in battery life, but i don't use battery killing apps like face book, whatsapp, or play games or anything. If you really are only getting 3 hours SOT you might want to see what is using your battery via better battery stats or gsam, because it's possible apps could be doing it, and no rom will change that. If you find out that no rouge apps are really killing your battery, as was just stated, depending on how old the device is, you might need a new battery. This phone is a good device but they used pretty ****ty components on it, thanks China. I myself have not had battery issues but i bought my device like three or four years ago, some devices are older.
Anyways, that's about all i can really offer for advice, i don't spend nearly as much time on this forum as i used to because i end up getting into confrontations with people that spread misinformaation, or refuse to follow simple courtesy that are not rules such as asking for eta's etc..
If you end up having any questions i might be able to answer, send me a PM. It might take me some time to respond as i don't use the app as much as i used to, but i'm always willing to answer even the dumbest question when asked via private message.

Hi Lawlrus, I'd just like to have a stable rom. Like you said 8.1 rom might be my best choice, but RR has stopped updating the 8.1 version so what I worry about is it's lacking security patches.
So would you suggest some roms that's stable and and getting updates as well ?
What I might need is :
1. dark theme 2. night light (blue light filter) 3. probably fling nav bar
