I pulled out my old Nexus 6P to use for a day and was shocked and disappointed to find that the 6P runs noticeably smoother than my OP5 despite being an older phone, having a slower processor, less RAM and the fact that I'm using balanced kernel settings on the 6P and more performance oriented ones on the OP5. I'm guessing this is a software issue because based on specs there's obviously no reason the 6P should be smoother than the OP5.
I'm wondering if there are any custom ROMs that people think improve the performance of the OP5 over stock OOS. I am specifically looking for very smooth and fluid performance. I don't care about a bunch of custom features. I'm already using a performance-oriented custom kernel (Blu Spark) that was designed for stock OOS but at this point, I'm considering a custom ROM if that might improve the user experience.
Not sure what kind of setup you have on your 6P but it must be something performance oriented for sure, if you feel you are getting better performance from it, compared to the 5.
I'm on PureFusion with blu_spark custom, and fastlane enabled with threshold set to 35.
That combo has given me incredible performance, better than my 6P when I had it, that's for sure.

It's not performance oriented at all. I run Dirty Unicorns with the ElementalEx Kernel and the kernel governor is interactive. If I use the interactive governor on the OP5 it results in a very noticeable performance hit. I'm thinking of trying xXx NoLimits ROM but I don't know that it will make a difference. The slight lack of fluidity might be how I perceive the jelly effect in the display --in which case changing ROMs won't help. But NoLimits is OOS based, performance oriented and users generally seem to like it so it might be worth a shot.
I'm back to using the OP5 now. It doesn't really feel laggy at all--but it feels less smooth than my Nexus 6P or the Pixel XL I previously had. It's hard to explain but I do perceive a difference.

Interesting that you see a difference, I would probably be of more help if I was having similar issues, but my 5 is ridiculously smooth and snappy.
Maybe give the setup I have a try, if you don't mind straying away from OOS-based ROMs, I'm getting really great fluidity with it!

What are you running?
I tried NoLimits ROM. I didn't notice any performance improvement at all which is strange because the entire purpose of the ROM appears to be improved performance. I ended up going back to stock--putting up with the little things that didn't quite work right was pointless if the ROM wasn't at least going to boost performance. I think the dev through too much unnecessary stuff into the ROM--some of which didn't even work.
Try Blu Spark kernel for performance. RX kernel for stability and battery.

Refer to my first post in this thread to see what I'm running.
I also tried No Limits and it was pretty snappy, however it didn't offer as many features as the ROM I am currently on, and that's been the case for anything OOS-based for me.
Not bashing OOS at all, I just find other options available to better suit my needs, feature wise!

I'm using Blu Spark. It does definitely improve performance over the stock kernel. I was hoping to get a little more of a boost but Blu Spark may already provide the best performance I'm going to get without using crazy kernel settings that will eventually burn out the phone. That's one of the secrets to the smooth performance on the Pixel that gets ignored --the CPU is maxed out constantly which provides super smooth performance but also makes the phone run very hot even if you're only looking at emails . And there's nothing you can do about it. There are no alternative governors you can use or settings you can tweak--the phone is intentionally designed so the hardware will burn out.

I'm going to look into Pure Fusion. Thanks for the suggestion. I know there's no support for custom ROMs so it's good to hear Blu Spark works well with that one.
Try freedom os and any kernel you wish....custom roms will give you better battery life and more featured....more performance ot not than rooted stock...that's Is debatable ...honestly the op5 stock is too optimised and one for the best choices at the moment ...

I tried flashing Blu Spark Custom on Pure Fusion and my phone wouldn't boot up. It got stuck at the 1+ Logo. Is there some added step that I'm missing?

Strange,
1. Are you sure you downloaded the custom ROM version?
2. Are you flashing over another custom kernel?
3. Try clearing the data from any kernel manager app you have and try again

I got it to work but it didn't ultimately matter. Pure Fusion didn't work well with my carrier MintSim. On stock OOS or No Limits I always have full bars everywhere in my apartment. On Pure Fusion I had 2 bars. I clean flashed the ROM twice and triple checked the APN settings but I couldn't get a good phone signal. Everyone I talked to was complaining about the poor call quality so I had to switch back to stock OOS--which is still on the July security patch. Pure Fusion seemed like a good ROM otherwise in terms of being fast and smooth but I couldn't get my phone service to work right for some reason.

That's very unusual.
Sorry you couldn't get to work because it is indeed a great ROM
I think you have received a defective unit ??! Please contact the customer service and get it replaced maybe ? This phone is extremely fast, I meant the performance is so blazing awesome !
Uhm, this might sound strange, but try to set the animations twice as slow on your OP
The 6p's animations were alot slower than the OP5's.

If you want best performance FreedomOS is the top, but if you want best performance+customization so PureFusion is the top of the top imho
My stock +5 runs smoother than my rooted 6P by a mile.

Would that have any effect on the smoothness of the scrolling on the OP5?
Hello guys,
So I'm rocking OxygenOS Open Beta 4, coming from Stable 9.0.12. I find OxygenOS to be very fast, but not that smooth as animations are often choppy. I've wondered which is the smoothest ROM (with 60fps animations all the time if that's possible) and kernel if it can change anything. Thanks in advance for answers.

If it's that serious for you...simply increase animation speeds to 1.25x or 1.5x. It'll be "smoother" if that's all that you care about...
None of the custom kernels out there make the phone any smoother or perform any better than stock...their improvements come more from the added customization and features they offer. Anyone seriously suggesting otherwise is bullshitting IMO, at best you might get a few extra points in some synthetic benchmark and marginally better battery life.
None of the custom ROM's I've tried (personally) perform any better than stock OOS, and most are buggier and less stable anyway. My experience at least...
FWIW, I have an iphone 8 Plus and an XR I also use daily. Putting your Oneplus 6T's animations speeds to 1.25x will have it opening and closing windows very similiarly to stock IOS 12+ animation speeds.
LineageOS
Kernel holydragon.
I'm using posp rom and really happy with it. Really fast, stable and good battery life.

And you also notice iPhones are smoother ? I don't want slower animations, it's just they often drop below 60fps which I didn't see on iPhones. As I said phone is fast, but animations could be much smoother.

Did you try setting them to 1.25x or 1.5x yet?
If that doesn't work for you, just use a 3rd party launcher and customize the animations to your satisfaction...
Again simply setting the animator durations from 1x to 1.25x on all three animation settings will likely give you what you're looking for.

I think I might need to turn them off completely or get used to it. Today I tried iPhone XS Max and with very fast app switching I was able to capture animation slowdown. Maybe there's no phone without 0 lags at all and that's just it.

LineageOS is super smooth, and I know what you are talking about with animations. Lineage is super smooth and 0 animation lag. Personally im waiting until fingerprint to go back to it, i suggest giving lineage a try.

You're right there is no thread and probably never will be. There's a telegram channel though. You can search it within the app and will find it easily. Don't know if I'm allowed to share it here, that's why.
But it's reaaaally smooth and fast. Battery is awesome as well but I've only been running it since 12 hrs so let's see how the battery will even improve more.

No such thing as a best ROM. And what works best for me doesn't mean it will work for you, so this question is moot.
Go to the ROM threads, and read them/their op and see what features they have that you want. 95% of the ROMs are built by the same guy/group, so that really slims down how many ROMs you need to try when it comes to figuring out what works for you feature/battery wise.

I use RR if that helps..
Aosip(derpfest or without derpefest Version),,, Resurrection Remix,,, Carbon Rom,,,Pixel Experience Plus,,,,Aosp beta @winxuser have done some magical work with its kernel if Customization isn't your concern then this rom is battery friendly(plus overall well balanced Rom),,,,there aren't any night and day difference,,,For me Every Pie Rom is Stable plus there aren't any big difference in battery life,,,Sd810 sucks ,,,You can't expect anything from that junk in terms of performance or battery life its one of the worst Soc Qualcomm ever made..
Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory. Which ROM do you advise based on its smoothness and battery life? I'd like to keep the rom for a long time, so I'd like ROMs that continue to be supported in time. Thanks!
In my experience (tested global 11.0.0.1, eu stable 10.0.6.0, eu beta 9 12 12) and the last one was the smoothest, best working in performance although battery life is not that great as I wish).
The worst was stable eu 10.0.6.0 dont know why...
Pixel Experience (Official) with hasty kernel is good enough for me.
I would like to know as well

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/development/unofficial-pixel-experience-t4005213
In my experience, the difference in smoothness and battery life between different roms of a similar base is negligible, however, stock roms tend to be slightly better.
I've tested lots of phones and done a variety of tweaks and the OnePlus 8 Pro running Android 10 is still the smoothest experience I've had with any Android device. Having tried Android 11, I experienced random stutters and lag, so I downgraded back. It's almost a placebo effect with Android 11 on both OnePlus and Samsung devices where they seem faster at first, but get choked up when running multiple tasks or even doing basic tasks. This is possibly poor memory management? I've compared the OnePlus 8 Pro to the Note 20 Ultra (which is blazing fast) and still it manages to run smoother.
I know with many enthusiasts, being on the absolute latest Android update is a badge of honor, but when the newer software is more weighted down with overlays, it's not always a better experience. OxygenOS 10 was a perfect balance of a clean AOSP build with useful customizations. For those that are curious, it is possible to uninstall the Software Update feature to remain on the last Android 10 build.

Does that include custom ROMS? I run AICP which is Android 11 and it runs super smooth with great battery saving capabilities.
Have you tried Evo X?
There's nothing I've tried in my life this smooth..

I went back to OOS10 through msm tools, and I now understand why people hate oos11 so much. 10 is better in many ways; battery life, dark mode, smoother... I will be remaining here until oos12 is released.

I always stuck with stock and still do.
Lower you peak CPU speed on each cluster and your minimum on the small cluster to 300.
Then disable zRAM, thats a massive performance boost, just be sure to close apps after as you'll max out your RAM if you're not careful
Android 11 also disables Overscan, so 10 is your limit if you're using it to hide the curved portions of the display.
