I know that the OnePlus 1 (originally) came with Cyanogenmod but then Cyanogenmod shut down, branching into LineageOS and OnePlus made OxygenOS. However, I don't know which features LineageOS has that OxygenOS doesn't and what LineageOS doesn't have that OxygenOS has. I'm not sure if I should switch from OxygenOS to LineageOS. Could anyone tell me the pros and cons of each and their recommendation?

I prefer the customisation and feel of aosp, it's just my preference, there is no best rom or OS, the problem for me and many more with aosp and Los is the inability to use the camera as expected.
Fusion is probably the best rom as in non OOS but has the camera from it which works nearly perfect
Your best bet is to use stock OOS long enough to get a good feel for it then make a nandroid backup and flash Lineage. That way you can decide for yourself and it just takes a few minutes to go back to OOS if you decide you like it better than Lineage. I've tried a number of custom ROMs but haven't found one I liked better than OOS + Blu Spark yet. A lot of people like Pure Fusion but I couldn't get even a decent phone signal with that ROM. It seems to be incompatible with my phone carrier.
How is the OOS-camera-app with AOSP-roms?
I see there is magisk-modules for custom roms you can flash via TWRP.
Is the the same quality compere to OOS?

Imho, nothing compares to oos stock camera, not even the modified Google camera. It's coming along but I was using it on lineage for a few days and felt the picture quality was definitely lacking.
As for the OP, the best advice has been given, play with OOS, tweak it to your liking and then back it up and go try it with lineage. I went back to OOS From lineage because lineage is still very new for our device and it has flaws that I didn't want to deal with on my daily driver. In time, I'm 99% certain I will jump to lineage because I think it's great; but for now on my op5 it's oos plus blu-spark.
(Plus I'm hoping @eng.stk will make a LOS kernel (don't kill me man lol))

Don't want to go OT, buty blu_spark custom is fully compatible with LOS ( I even merged in r36 the swap key keycode from LOS that was missing ).
LOS is where I usually test my custom stuff.

If you wanted the OOS camera, you could use an APK Extractor and back up the APK and install it after installing a custom ROM.

What exactly is BluSpark? I've used BluSpark TWRP and it looks different, but I can't tell any differences.

Feel free to use the search button on my thread.
I am a long time custom ROM flashoholic, and had custom ROMs on every phone I could.
OOS is the first stock OS that satisfies my needs for customization, features and the lack of bloat.
I recommend using stock with Magisk, as you pretty much have all the features from OOS and all the possibilities from a custom ROM.
The only thing lacking for me is the "long volume press skip track" feature, but I have that on my headphones (just not on the phone itself).
Benefit is that you still can receive updates (just reflash Magisk) and camera quality stays.
I cant really give any valid reason for switching to a custom OS besides dropped mainstream support, and I think that shouldnt happen for at least 2-3 more years. (In which time you will probably get a new phone )
In short: LOS is more up to date, and better battery life but slower app openings, and maybe more bugs (i didn't notice any yet)

Doesn't work quite like that, when you extract the camera and try to use it outside oos, it fails; unless someone has a find a way to do it.

No, you can make Apks that depend on device specific framework libraries. They'll only work if the libraries are there.
Now you can copy framework libraries, but in the OOS camera case, you also need modifications to the kernel and to Android to make it work.
In short, your ROM has to support it.
The only ROM I know that kinda support the OOS cam is PureFusion. And even, the smile capture and a few other minor things still do not work.

As mentioned, APKs may depend on specific libraries or frameworks. Some apps don't need specific libraries or frameworks. OOS Camera does. Try extracting the APK and install it on your Fire.
Try the Google Dialer. Try Google Camera.

Hi everyone,
I have a really crazy idea and like to hear your opinion about it. But first let me introduce the topic.
First, let's take a look at what is going on when upgrading from one major Android version to a newer.
The boot and system partition are filled with new content.
Beside kernel adjustments, this is only related to Android, not device specific stuff, right?
Then we have more stuff like the recovery, closed source drivers for the modem, etc. Several times I read about the "firmware". I'm not sure what is meant with firmware exactly in case of a smartphone and how much device specific it is.
How much is this further stuff related to the Android version running on the device?
Summarizing, what is done by a manufacturer when upgrading a device from let's say Marshmallow to Nougat? What needs to be touched and what is not?
Now to the crazy idea. What about downgrading from one major Android version to an older, espacially when there is no older version by the manufacturer? What would need to be touched in this case? Did someone ever try this?
Finally I come to the real question:
Is it possible to port Android Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5?
The reason for this crazy idea is that I can't live without Xposed. But the Xposed Framework isn't available yet for Android Nougat. And to be honest, I'm not sure anymore if it will ever be.
I'm a developer, but I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to help porting Xposed over to Android Nougat. I would if I could, but my time is limited also.
In contrast to porting Xposed to Nougat, porting Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5 might be easier for me or us, the people who would like to have a OnePlus 5, but can't live without Xposed.
I'm curious about what you think about this crazy idea.
What about Magisk? I've heard that Magisk simplify everything
I actually like the idea! It would be great to have "retro" ROMs, like Android 5, 4.4, or lower. I know it's a bit stupid, but that would be cool in my opinion
I would love it also just because of Xposed,nothing else really

Magisk is a great tool, but it doesn't have the capabilities of Xposed. So this won't help.
But let's talk only about Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5 here, not about alternatives.
I would absolutely love if OP5 had a Custom Marshmallow port.....I also cannot live without Xposed.
I heard Xposed was ported on Nougat Rom with ARM architecture

Just curious, but why? What do you use in Xposed you can't live without that root and custom ROMs don't offer?
Due to the fact you would have to literally write a kernel for MM for the Oneplus5 as there is no existing one, it would be more worthwhile to put all that time into geting Xposed working.
It's probably possible but the mammoth effort to get an older OS on your device would not be expedient...

I am currently using the Oneplus 5,
do you think there could be any way i can use Xposed?
The reason I prefer Oneplus is for being so open and easy to root together with Xposed personally.
1. Technically it should be possible, you just need drivers that would boot Marshmallow on SD 835.
2. Older systems usually have simpler/less API than new one, so there would be no "unsupported" system features.
3. Easiest way would be to port a kernel from a device that shipps with SD 835 and Marshmallow, for now I saw some on benchmarks, but they will probably ship with N onboard when released.

We don't discuss this here. You can believe me, when I say I can't live without it. Xposed's capabilities go much much further then custom roms.

Not possible currently without Xposed. Have not seen an app able to do this, have not seen Tasker or Tasker Plug-In able to do this.....nothing does this function. Very useful!
@geoff5093 OK, if you really want to know, I took the time to create a short list:
YouTube AdAway is a good example. It removes ads from the original YouTube app.
YouTube Background Playback adds what you usually only get when you pay for YouTube Red.
XHangouts adds certain stuff to the Hangouts app, like moving the call button to the manu, so that you don't accidently press it.
Amplify can extend your battery life.
Greenify works also only with root, but better (more capabilities) with Xposed.
MinMinGuard removes ads from apps.
App Settings, a classic module by rovo89, the developer of Xposed, can do several configuration stuff per app.
GravityBox is an example, that offers functionality that can also be done by using a custom rom, but selected features are only offered by this module.
I do even more with Xposed, almost everything isn't possible using only root and custom roms.
TL;DR
A custom rom can only add/change functionality of built in stuff, not apps. Xposed can manipulate also apps.

Thanks for the list. I used to use many of those as well, but the benefits of greenify and amplify are pretty much moot when you have to sacrifice the significantly enhanced performance of doze in Nougat.

It seems that not many people are interested in Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. This is comprehensible, at least since we saw a first unofficial release of Xposed for Nougat here on XDA.
For everyone participating in this thread, Xposed is the reason why we would like to see Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. Once Xposed for Nougat is out, the idea get's obsolete.
Let's see when we will get Xposed for Nougat, hopefully rovo89 is successful! :fingers-crossed:

Hi all long time xda member since mytouch 4g days and have owned and modded everything Samsung phone since the note 2. So now moving along, I'm now a A2017u owner with bad boys Rom. Actually I've been stuck on it since it was released. I wanna download los but I'm worried about losing the Dolby Atmos, Dac and the ability to use the the internet while on a call. What los rom can I download that. Can help me keep that? I know about Devine beats but is it really as good? Also I just can't do the whole magisk thing. It just doesn't work for me. Just going I can flash files and get a nice stock system while preserving the perfect audio going. Also I have the phone working with Verizon and world like to know how to make calls and surf the net at the same time.
Thanks for all.
We're in April, I hope the Oreo Update will fully benefit the potential of our DACs.
Stock software rather than custom ROM?

Basically every custom ROM has that xd. Nougat and Oreo. I don't get why you say you can't get Magisk going? Have you tried a custom ROM at least?
Basically you have to format data, flash bootloader and modem (or bootstack), flash the ROM, Gapps, Magisk. Once you have all that installed just reboot and install the Dolby Atmos magisk module, or if you are on Oreo there's a flashable zip with the newest Atmos zip.
Though I don't know why you would use Atmos on headphones? The real deal is Viper4Android since it doesn't add a crapton of noise...

of course the fp sensor does. You know, there's a list of broken stuff on every ROM thread, you don't need us to figure what thing works and what doesn't. And for theming a ROM you can use Substratum, though AEX 5.3 (the Oreo one) has a theme engine that themes the UI (not apps)
Wow bro, thanks.

Hi all!
I recently switched my OnePlus 6T stock rom to LineageOS but the camera is all buggy and it's quite awful to use.
My main idea was to limit the number of Google Apps installed on the phone and that was most of all.
I tried to search the roms available for OnePlus 6t, found a few of them, but they mostly have a tons of other changes that I'm not interested in.
So I'm hoping that you'll recommend me a - well-working on my 6T - ROM without Google Apps and the original Camera app.
Thanks !

Here you go no gapps
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
I had a similar experience with Lineage. Did not like it at all. My solution was to go back to the factory rom, root, use Titanium to go in and delete all the google stuff I can get away with. Unfortunately I have several apps that will not work without googleplay, or google services. I also downloade app opps app and used it to limit what apps can access and do what. Amazing how many apps want access to contacts, location, phone state, etc without user permission. I still have google on my phone, but it is limited and restricted. I downloaded all my apps through apk mirror, aurora store, and apk updater, never logged into my google account so I look like an anonymous (kinda) user. Maybe something here that might help you get where you want to be.
Thanks for the reply everyone.
I was hoping to find a rom really close to the stock one with just the gapps (and the OnePlus app) removed.
But since it's apparently not available, I noticed the Syberia Rom that might be interesting (OTA, have the Oneplus camera app)... maybe worth a try.

Most of custom ROMs come without gapps, or should. You should search for a ROM Micro-G compatible to be able to get rid of gapps and still use some Google applications.
Pure 'stock' ROM doesn't exist anymore as people rarely agree to use a pure AOSP without additional features. What is the most close to that are the 'Pixel' like ROMs.

I just switched from OOS 10 to PiXeN OS, because of notification issues. Everything is working great now..... But I don't like the Pixel Launcher and tried running OP Launcher with Quickswitch and it wasn't adapting to the dark mode and it was glitching.... Kept going back to defaults layout after I restored it with my backup.
If I could get OP Launcher working.... It would be great.
Was able to learn how to get the OP Launcher in PiXeN OS. The latest patchable version QuickSwitch is able to patch is version OnePlus Launcher 4.4.8. Its stable and it has Google Feeds automatically. So far its stable and everything is working as it should....... Cant ask for more, Stable custom rom with stock OP camera, gallery and now OP launcher.
I've been using Bliss Rom for about a week and i'm pretty happy with it.
It has the OOS Cam as well as GCam, and both work well.

I flashed Pixen yesterday and op launcher didn't work for me. The only reason I did it was because I had read that it worked. Wiped and went back to stock. If only I had saw this first!
And away we go again lol. Round 2.are you using latest quickswitch and is that a modded apk for launcher or can I get it from apkmirror?

I found the solution here on Telegram {Mod edit}.... The Shady Mods OP Launcher 4.5.9 works perfectly without having to patch it with QuickSwitch. I installed the QuickSwitch that was on the Magisk module search and it was v3.1.6. I always use Titanium Backup to make the switch between Roms easier. I only restore apps and not the system files... Some apps you still have to setup again, but the majority Titanium Backup restores the data specially for games.
Basically you install the Systemless_OPLauncher-v3.0.zip with Magisk and use QuickSwitch to set OP Launcher as default (Select No when it ask to patch). Done. Works perfectly. I am on the latest OP Launcher. No issues and was able to restore my layout with my OOS backup. If you have a backup from OOS of your OP Launcher, you can use it to restore the launcher layout. You just unzip the net.oneplus.launcher.tar on the opbackup folder and copy it to the root /data/ data

I did try those steps and everything worked perfectly. However after I did that, I stumbled upon this regularly maintained 7t port. Currently based on 7t open beta 16.
Going with this instead. Pixen is an amazing ROM, but I just prefer stock oxygen with root.

I was going to give it a try and then he just posted that he was leaving to India and was not going to be providing anymore updates. All ROMs will be dead. He is not completely sure, but I still accessing the risk. Don't want to switch to a Rom that won't be updated.

Give it a shot. I've been using it for the last 3 builds. From what I've seen in the 3 months I've used it, he says this often because people ask about 6t updates. There's usually only one when a 7t beta is released. Other than that there are none in between. But he has explained that his script he runs, builds all of his ROMs in less than a minute so he was going to continue updating.

About notifications, I couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about because I never had this problem. I had forgotten that I wasn't on stock 6t ROM.
So it's possible that this port doesn't have the issue because I get all notifications.

Thanks for all the information. I will wait and see if he does keep updating it. He said he has too many things going and I think their may be a possibility he could stop. I am just going to see if he keeps supporting it.
Any bugs that you have notice with the Rom port?

Not a single bug so far. In 3 months. The only thing is that you get the internal device error when you start up which is not an issue. And you get all the features of the 7t and 8Pro.

PiXeN is really stable. Had only two strange thing happen. One was while I was on a call and could not access anything while on the call screen..... Basically I was stuck. It hasn't happened again. I also did notice the camera lag opening.... But not sure if it was due to the Rom being recently install.
Both issues have not been duplicated. The big benefit for me was, being able to use the OP Launcher and being able to transfer my launcher layout. Battery life is very close to stock and performance is very fluid.
From reading the OP 7T Port Beta 16 in Telegram.... There seems to be people having some issues with the ROM. Didn't read much, but it seems not to be as stable as PiXeN. For now will stick with PiXeN... Already getting use to swipping to the side gesture to go back.... I was used to swipping up at the bottom corner to go back. I did have to adjust the area where the side back gesture was, because some menus you side gesture to bring menu out. So I moved it to the lower side.

Well im going to try it out. I didn't really even set it up up so I didn't give it any real chance. But I'm going to flash it now and see. Just in case he does drop maintaining that port. I'll be ahead of the game. Lol.
Might be time for an upgrade.

I know many users in the OnePlus 6T Telegram group are using PiXeN and have confirmed it to very good and stable. So far it has been true. Plus Gapps, TWRP are preinstalled. It also passes all the safetynet securities in magisk without having to install any magisk modules like I had to do when I rooted stock oos.

Hmm, courious to know what modules were/are needed on a stock rom in order too pass safety net , was it something in order to pass a banking app ect...
As I am currently rooted (lastest version) , exposed installed for a few things, g-pay and banking apps working fine without and modules or scripts..all on a stock rom and kernel..
Can get 8 to 10 hrs. sot and make it through the day without a charge.. though I don't play games... Battery pic is a bit off as I had a lazy day and slept in yesterday ..
What's your preferred custom rom for F2 Pro? What are the advantages or the disadvantages of it over other roms or over the stock rom?
You have to use roms to see the advantages and disadvantages
I use Xiaomi.eu weekly and it better than stock. No adds, bloatware and other stuff..
MSM-Xtended is the only one I can suggest as it's the only non stock rom I've used. Everything is smoother with safetynet passing and widevine L1 out the box. Highly customizable and better battery over stock.

Thanks for the answer. I'd like to ask what's the deal with Widevine L1 in Xiaomi phones, does it come with the ROM? I have a LeMax2 and I've reflashed it in EDL and lost the L1 capabilities - no way to restore it also.
I remember the Sony days, unlocking bootloader would erase DRM.

As of now only the main and wide angle work. I think the same applies to all custom roms.

To be honest I couldn't tell you. This is my first xiaomi phone and the only phone I've ever owned that didn't permanently lose L1 after unlocking the bootloader. If I had to guess, I would say this is so because Miui is infact a custom rom posing as stock
EU 12.0.8. I used to be a huge AOSP/LOS fan, but Control center and Floating windows in MIUI 12 are too convenient for me to ever consider going back that way.

I switched to crDroid. It's a very good rom, overall. No problems, the battery lasts much longer than with the stock ROM.
But I also find that these features are missing, especially the floating windows.
I'd like to find a way to get this feature on AOSP !

The latest gcam from Urnyx05 has all lens working plus 4k 60fps on the wide angle lens.

The drm info for the widevine l1 is stored in persist partition. If you lose the content of this partition, which is unique to each motherboard, you lose widevine l1.
So, my recommendation is to back it up before playing around with roms because some roms mess it up.
So, if the drm info is still intact in that persist partition, xiaomi allows you to hace widevine l1 even after unlock the bootloader. And using magisk with hide option, you should be good to go.
I just tried new OneOS from Spanish dev team. It seems this ROM is very perspective! Supports many languages including English.
Unfortunately, currently I got wiped TWRP after flashing this ROM, and when I tried to flash TWRP again, then ROM started bootlooping. The only way to fix is to flash China Stock ROM using MiFlashPro utility and then start over with installing TWRP and Root, etc.
But ROM itself works fine! With Magisk Canary and PropsConfig module configured for RedmiK30Pro I have passed SafetyNet.
It's bad that some devs don't show their work here on XDA and support for this phone is so fragmented over the internet, eg TWRP Pitchblack Recovery 3.0.0-UNOFFICIAL on 4PDA and ROM OneOS

I've been playing with Urnyx05 Gcam the camera works well, except the 64 megapixel camera doesn't seem to work. Otherwise it's pretty good. ANX Camera is also great, but found the pop up camera doesn't work for photos, but works for video and the wide angle doesn't work. So far I've just been using both cameras as between them everything works, but would be great if could get one app that works correctly with all the cameras.
I'm a fan of LineageOS, but I like changing the battery status bar and force back button kill app. CrDroid and a few ROMs based on LineageOS are pretty similar with a few addons. So I've been trying CrDroid and it works great. I've never used floating windows in MIUI and much prefer an open source OS.
I had MicroG working perfect on MIUI with the Play Store, but having issues getting it to work correctly on CrDroid. For privacy and better battery I'd definitely recommend looking at MicroG, though adds another layer of complexity.

I feel you Bro. We can't have it all but we have one hell of a start. If the stock camera app gets ported to lineage based roms that will be a huge accomplishment(8k) even though gcam has its advantages. I'm sure we'll (community) will find a work around for MicroG.

it's funny how everyone here claims that custom roms have better battery than stock, but for me, stock give me two days and a half, sometimes three days in a row... so, i hard to believe that claim
