Any hope of porting Paranoid Android? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

So Paranoid Android is back and I really feel a ROM like that is what this phone needs. It would be really great to see it ported to this phone and it would give us more options and the community a much needed boost. Is it possible to port it over and if so is anyone willing to attempt? I would try to do so myself but I don't even know where to start and unfortunately my computer just took a dump so I don't have anything to build on.

Most overrated ROM ever. Nothing better from other ROMs.

Completely irrelevant the shape this phone is in when it comes to modding is absolutely horrible, we could surely use another and more well known ROM such as paranoid, take your negativity elsewhere.

Really man. Nothing better other ROM. Most of customization options of PA are just for official builds like color palette.

I'd prefer MIUI or Flyme maybe... There are a bunch of roms that seem identical to me, like AICP, RR, NucleaROM, AOKP

^ This. I have scrapped the web for a single hope of MIUI or Flyme. Na-da. It's very sad. Those are some of the most beautiful-looking ROMs you can grace your phone with. Posted requests on MIUI and Flyme forums a while back. Nothing D:
It's sad, really. I know the devs are really doing their best with updates, and we appreciate it, but the slew of same-looking ROMs is fast becoming stale, imo.

Tbh I never used MIUI or Flyme even though I think there was a MIUI port on my previous phone, thea. But I hoped I would be able to try some day.
And the people that are trying to do stock-based ROMs just delete some stuff and add a couple of features, maybe change the UI a little bit... I'd love a stock based ROM with a different quick settings drawer and stock Android icons, plus NO ONE is doing any kernels for A2017G stock, literally NO ONE

Lol, let's hope a Dev will be kind enough.
I had Flyme on my One M8 last year. It wasn't a very good port, kernel-wise; battery consumption was over the roof, but the UI alone made me use it alongside S-Rom.

The stock rom provided is just plain bad and not a good base to work on.
The other choices are asop based or lineage based with add this feature or remove that feature, how much can you really change?
As for MIUI to iphoneish.
I think everyone should be glad that you even have choices. IMHO
If you really don't like what is available research on how to build your own.

I saw a DU v12 build on afh awhile back. Built in March. Never did download it, hoping to see a later version pop up.

Saw it too, I think it was from a Turkish dev. Unfortunately it was a nougat release.. Pls guys, more Gud ROMs

V11 is Nougat, v12 is (should be) Oreo. I used to use WesTD's Nougat build. If it wasn't for the video playback issue I'd probably still be on it.
Anyway, DU 12.1 is their current version I think.

[Q] No Oxygen based Custom ROM Development.

Why are not we seeing Oxygen OS based custom ROM development like those seen for Touchwiz etc? Till the time stable CM comes out for OP2, Oxygen isn't that bad. With xposed you can get enough features of CM. But the one thing where Oxygen lacks is that it doesn't have all the commits for proper functionality of RRO layers themes. May be developers can add those commits.

Still this does not answer the main question. Why there are no Oxygen based Roms? There are bunch of ToutchWiz or Sense based roms and they are really great, in some cases even better then CM,AOSP,AOKP .. like i had HTC One X, every Sense ROM had better camera performance and even battery life, sound quallity and so.. Like Android Revolution HD.

Because there are no oxygenos sources out there.
They've released only kernel sources, not ROM sources, like most OEMs do.

OXYGEN OS IS CLOSED SOURCE! GOOGLE IT, rather than start a thread.
I think those Samsung and sense roms are "kitchen" roms someone modified from stock firmware images, oneoplus hasn't release firmware images

Too many roms, which one should I choose ? Which one is the best ?

I browse XDA everyday and these days there are so many new custom roms for OPX. I'm so confused choosing the one to be flash on my OPX (E1001). So I would like to make a vote so that everyone can share their experience about custom roms choosing. For me, After tried several roms I'm now back to OxygenOS since it's stable. Bluspark kernel gives me a smooth UX and fine performace in gaming. I got 27-29 fps playing Hearthstone on my phone.
Try them, read the forums and decide for yourself. Best rom threads aren't allowed on xda.

Yup. That's the best way. Just try em all. I don't even have a favorite. Some are better in different ways. Right now I am running Oxygen though. It's the only ROM supported by the Boeffla kernel right now
I means I just want to find a rom which has good battery and bug free for daily use.

Bro you can use boeffela kernel on h2os also I have flashed boeffela 7 for oneplus x OOS on h2os and it is running smoothly no lags at all and on benchmark it is giving a score of 68k to 69k by doing some customization by boeffela config app
I totally understand this poll.
Following OnePlus X development thread for some time now, it is quite difficult to choose one of the ROM.
For those saying that we need to try them ... I tried most of them and can't figure out why using one compare to the other ...
Most of them are CM based or include exactly the same feature.
I remembered using TeamEOS ROM and this, was completely different (in my point of view). Some extra goodies included but all from them, with some differences (gestures instead of navbar).
I don't want to be rude dev, but except AOSParadox, all are quite similar for "normal" users (not developpers I mean) and when using one, you tried all of them ...

The biggest thing for me, that there are no bugs. No wifi bug, no invalid number bug, build in superuser works, so no need for supersu etc.

Just tried it myself. No crashes here. I'm running with bluspark kernel 104 BTW.
I tried some custom ROMs but battery life is nothing like OxyOS..
I found screen on time 5.5-6 hr in oxy os & it's great...
So I am Desperately Seeking
Is there any Custom OS based on OxyOS/H2OS ?
yeah i would like a h2os lite version but not holding my breath for it. h2os with boeffla kernel flies. 71k antutu score.
also this vote will only show how many users r using their preferred rom. it will not show the best rom.

I am working on a custom oos rom. Will release when its ready (think about two weeks from now). And I'm still pending on permission from a few developers to use their source.

That's the very good news....
Custom H2OS may be better ..
Any way ???
So for me it's either ashwins cm13 or purity. But what all custom ROMs currently lack is encryption.
That is one thing (I know it is hard to implement) I really would like to see in the next builds as it is for me an essential feature when you are using a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader. I hope there will be some focus on it within the next weeks.
The only option for now is: stay on stock

Smoothest rom overall?

The main thing for me is smoothness and snapiness.
Im asking a real g33ks who have tried alot of rom.
i'm not using XDA daily but i'v tried roms before & all i can say is that each rom is good in some areas , So go to Developer Section & try some yourself & see what's best for you.
I personally like Sultan's Rom for Battery & Smoothness
For me AICP is the best

AOSPA by far. It may have a few bugs, but in terms of smoothness it's the best one by far. Also for me it's the most stable.
Definitely AOSPA

But even the smoothest rom is subjective imo...for me the smoothest is really aospa. I have seen some users praising rom x or y for being the smoothest rom only to get a bit disappointed when I went to try them. Aospa is really awesome for me. It still lacks a few features but it's cool=p
With amazing kernels like boeffla and blu_spark any Rom can be smooth like butter.
AOSP caf roms are best in side of performance
they will perform better than CM based roms
But I prefer CM based roms because of battery life
I am using Sultan rom its one of the best in side of performance which based on CM and also have a great battery life
After tried various of custom ROM availables for our beloved OPX, I came to the conclusion: OOS + BluSpark kernel is the smoothest for me. I'm stopped flashing custom ROM and just stick with OOS + BluSpark
I gotta say hydrogen os is the fastest on my oneplus x with blue's kernel. However its not for everyone as its heavily themed

Sultan's CM13 or Krexus for me.
H2OS feels like the software made exclusively for the OnePlus X hardware. Tried Oxygen and CM and somehow it always felt like either on a ported ROM or a beta one.

My favs are Purity (I'm using it right now, and you can find it on g+) and Aospa (is in early stage for now).

Building Stock AOSP 7.1.1

As the title says, I'm going to under go changes from LineageOS to stock AOSP. So hopefully I can successfully build stock AOSP 7.1.1 for the v20 US996 and hopefully more. I will be needing testers once I'm finished with the device tree and kernel.

Thanks man I love that your my tester, and I wanted to try something a bit different mainly to test my skills throughout. I actually just synced RR repo and left it to build but I won't know the outcome till I get home from work. But I really wanted stock AOSP on the v20 with a working second screen, seeing HTC just announced there HTC Ultra with a second screen I hope they release the API for it so it can be reversed engineered to work with the v20, you know how cool it'd be if the v20 had stock AOSP 7.1.1 with the second screen working and having substratum theme engine onboard... It's a dream bro. But definitely will build for your device once I get everything working.

I'm with you man. I've always been more of a pure Android based ROM guy myself. Never been much on the OEM stock ROMS once the AOSP, CM, etc. Based ROMS got stable. Someone definitely needs to figure out some sort of solution for the second screen on this thing though because the current solution isn't a very good one.

Yeah I think someone mentioned that they were going to create an API for the second screen, I wish them all the best and hopefully it goes through. But I rather stock AOSP than CM/LineageOS ... I might also try to build AOKP just to see if that builds...

If you're looking for a 7.1 ROM, try out dirty unicorns. They are not on XDA, but they have a Google+ page and a website with downloads for Clark. It is one of the most stable ROMS right know for this device. If you wanna stay on marshmallow I'm pretty sure Tru pure is still a great ROM, and you probably wouldn't wanna change.
I've gone back to stock with this device as every custom rom that I have tried has had some issue or another, making them unstable. The Brazilian stock nougat TWRP backup that is available on this forum is working surprisingly well on my device, an XT1572 being used in the UK.

None of the ROM'S do gestures as well as the stock gestures work, such as waving hand to wake the phone..etc..but they still work fairly well. Dirty unicorns also has the other moto gestures such as flip the phone to silence among others.
+1 for dirty unicorns. I'm running on their latest official release and its pretty good.
The latest build of stock 6.0.1 + Root + Xposed.
Stock... pure, untouched stock is the best for stability and speed, no doubt about it.
If you mean what CUSTOM rom is best, BrokenOS for MM or Dirty Unicorns for Nougat... Both are good, but neither one is as stable as stock.
