Are there any particular reason to flash into RevoHD or LeeDroid or any other custom Rom, beside the factor of being able to o/c the cpu?
a list of reason would be nice.
Virtuous because of the advanced quick settings and ram optimizations. You have the option to turn off auto rotate, adjust screen brightness, media volume, and ringtone volume all from the status bar. Can't tell you how much of a time saver it is for me. It's stable, and they are always developing new kernels, though stock will be your most stable option until source code is released. I'm sure this thread is about to flow over with other opinions but if you are looking for speed and stability in a Sense ROM, you should atleast give Virtuous a go.
Likewise with Android Revolution HD.
Speed is much better than stock, no stupid bloat, the option of a 'sense-less' install (not exactly stock, but an alternative nonetheless), in-built auto OC (if you're into that kind of thing) and forced GPU Acceleration (smoothes some animations), as well as very good battery life.
Coupled with the UNITY kernel, I find it a good combination for everyday use.
I sincely don't mean to ask "What's the best ROMzerwow!?" But here's the details anyway, (sorry); I'm looking to help out my old man by making his phone last just a few hours longer which means: Teaching him to use the power switches for wifi & Data, etc. That's my end. but what I cant do, I need to find which is:
• Debloating the phone
There's a lot of crap he doesn't need, let alone use!
• Adjustable Font Size
Most key is a ROM/MOD that allows for LARGE font sizes as sight isn't his strongest point anymore.
• Stability
I understand I'm asking for perfection but I'm not expecting it. That said, which ROMs are the most stable for the Charge? from what I've read, Tweaked ROMs seems to be popular but what seems to be (even an outdated one ie CM7-like, Gingerbread etc) are fine. I want to be able to install and customize the settings for the ol' man and never touch it again to keep things simple and pain free for him (and me).
If I am asking much feel free to point me elsewhere. I came across Odin Flash Guide So I'm assuming this will make it as pain free as possible once I can settle on a ROM or two to experiment with. Just remember to tell me which Build of the ROM you're suggesting
Thanks for your input! Cheers.

right now, Tweaked is the only game in town - and it's quite awesome! tweaked will debloat. as for font size, I think installing GO launcher allows for customization of that.
regarding battery life, not much aside from minimizing number of apps installed and accounts synced. for me, I found that juice defender works best.
There is also options in Accessibility menu...

We've got the fonts already on large but because of my inexperience outside of Moto Defy roms, I'm just making sure it'll be Large no matter what. Thanks!
Hi,
don't kill me! i know that someone should choose the rom looking at his needs. But i have to clean a p500 of a friend and i need a suggestion on a rom.
- I've seen that there are many ICS\JB roms, but the P500 can handle one of this without becoming incredibly slow?
- Indipendently from the andorid version i need a lightweight rom, that dosen't take too much memory (since it is not much by default) and with a low battery drain.
- I prefer something fast and stable instead of something with more features but slow and full of bug
- The owner of the p500 had until now the stock rom, so he don't really need extraordinary customizations (so considering the point above i want to avoid the cyanogen roms)
have you any suggestions?
You should try SlimBean by popdog123. I really like this rom, and I'm looking forward to future updates on it.
If you prefer to have everything working, you should use CM 7.2 or CM 9. JB is good, but it lacks of wifi tethering and occupies too much space, so you need to use a ext partition on your SD card.
Original development section seriously? Mod plz move the thread.

Yes, my suggestion is to read through the OP's of the ROM's and pick one based on the criteria you have laid out above.

Hello,
We don't own the device so it would be difficult to recommend you a ROM.
I'd recommend you to have a look at S4 Forums and find a suitable ROM for your variant.

LAST UPDATE: 04 March 2019
Hello guys,
Note: This thread has evolved a lot and now I don't feel it's about my personnal experience anymore. So I've just removed all the bits about myself as they are not relevant and appropriate. You'll have way enough information from the Google sheet as well as the summaries made by the community and myself.
Here you can find a nice spreadsheet made by @Macusercom and improved by @blinkin, the community and general and myself
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OKpuzMbvMLZ8qtyDmbxMUCayUKM3nkuWhH00fRQqfcs/edit?usp=sharing
The spreadsheet is now in read only mode since some funny guys had fun messing with it. If you want to add something to the spreadsheet, just send a message on this thread and I'll add it myself. Don't waste my time / Macusercom's time sending PMs about getting the rights to edit it. Thank you for you understanding.
CAUTION: most of the following is outdated, and while it's usually still true, most ROMs are mature enough to be very similar in terms of performance, battery life and even features. So even more than before, it's mostly about personal preference. The spreadsheet should still be useful however, as long as it keeps being updated.
Lineage OS:(thread link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3839750 )★ Positive things
-Great performance
-Great battery life
-A few interesting features not available on other ROMs except HAVOC.
-Only custom ROM where Android Auto works.
-Privacy guard now works
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
-No signature spoofing
-Not as many features as other ROMs
AOSIP (Android Open Source Illusion Project)(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-android-source-illusion-project-t3855343 )★ Positive things
-Great performance
-Good battery life
-A lot, but not too many, useful features well ordered, so easy to find.
-OOS camera is included, as well as OnePlus gallery.
-OTA updates
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
?
Havoc OS:(thread link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-havoc-os-t3817805)Feedback from @Macusercom
★ Positive things
- Currently, the ROM with the most features on the OP6. Period. (LiquidRemix has about the same amount of features).
-Stable
- OOS cam with portrait & night mode
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
?
Pixel Experience(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3856643 )Feedback from @elmu
★ Positive things
-Great performance
-overall working well
-Low ram usage
-Bluetooth+bullets wireless work very well
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
-Dark theme not working properly?
-Some apps crashes/freezes?
-Camera crashes/freezes?
-Battery stats recording ambient display in your sot alltime (i hope you understand what i mean)?
OmniRom TreskMod(https://www.treskmod.ru/ )Feedback from @dante_nfs
★ Positive things
-Great performance, latency is very good with redflare kernel
-Great battery life
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
-No XDA thread, so hard to follow updates and feedback
-GAPPS included
OmniRom(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-omnirom-oneplus6-t3841813 )★ Positive things
-Great performance
-Feature rich
-Leading custom ROM when it comes to fix bugs etc.
-Great battery life
-OTA udpates
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
?
LiquidRemix(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-liquidremix-t3840206 )★ Positive things
-A LOT of settings and features
-Great performance
-Good support for MicroG (better than OMNI in my experience)
-Privacy guard is useful for privacy and it's working! You also get advanced permissions control (AppOps) which is neat.
-OOS Cam included
-[Official] so you get OTA udpates
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
-Lots of settings but they are a bit messy, you never know if they will be in /settings/display or /settings/liquidsettings/display for example.
-The theme is a little different to stock Pie. I don't like it as much.
-Fingerprint stops working randomly and the only temporary fix is to reboot device, until it happens again. It hasn't been reported lately so maybe it's fixed.
ArrowOS(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-arrowos-t3869015 )★ Positive things
-Very unique experience as most advanced settings are integrated in already existing menus. You won't find anything like "ArrowOS extra settings" and I think it's much easier to find options like that. Also, all custom settings are listed probably when using the search bar.
-Great performance
-Great support for MicroG (similar to Liquid, better than Omni)
-OOS Cam included
-[Official] so you get OTA udpates
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
-No vibration strength control
-Battery drain in standby is important (11% over a night). It migtht be fixed?
I will try to update this post with different feedback and will let you know about my experience on other custom ROMs.
Enjoy your OP6 and our wonderful community of developers, cheers! :good:
I feel like this thread is more about discussion than asking a particular question and expecting a specific answer. If you want, I could reformulate my thread as "Discussion about custom ROMs".

I agreed with you that this is more like a general discussion of ROM, hence it belongs to General Section.

Thank you for granting my request! Hopefully, more people will be interested by the thread. I'm going to try to test other ROMs to see if this thread can get any momentum, when I'll have some time for it. :fingers-crossed:
I use stock with xXx module run into on top of it. The stock ROM has the features I need out of the box and the module on top helps supplement the experience. I'm shooting for a reliable stable experience which is why I'm not going to branch off to anything AOSP like.
The OnePlus 5 and now the OnePlus 6 for me have the been the only 2 phones I've never felt the need or want to put a custom Rom on them. The OOS has had just about all the features I used to put a custom Rom on a phone. What I don't get from the OOS Rom I get with ex kernel manager (increase vibration strength, increase max sound and in call volume). The one thing I miss is separating ringtone and notification sounds.

Sorry for the OT. But I'd like to know how do you flash it? The module of xXx. I'm very interested in that. Also, what you say is right, OOS gives to us the features that we need

Nothing special. Just make sure you have Magisk setup and then you flash it through TWRP. The only hard part is making use of the profile file that is needed for making your individual selections. Most people overlook it and then complain because it's using the default profile which gets rid of most things

Awesome thread idea as I've been meaning to try out some custom ROMs or kernels. As a side note, this is my first OnePlus device and coming from primarily Samsung devices this is the first device I can happily say so far that I haven't felt the need to install custom ROMs on as the experience has been fluid and updates have been quick.
I'm mostly curious about one feature to know whether it is available in either ROM or kernel format. On previous devices Resurrection Remix was my ROM of choice as it offered the customization and performance I needed without much compromise. One feature that I loved having the option for in RR that I sorely miss in OOS was enabling the volume rocker to skip or play the previous track by long press.
I know this is available in the OP6 Resurrection Remix ROM, but I've seen too many bugs reported to consider it a daily driver. I've also heard good things about the Havoc ROM listing it in its description, but from the videos I've seen it doesn't seem to have the fluidity that I love in OOS.
I'm curious if anyone has tried either a different ROM with similar fluidity too OOS with this feature, or if there is any kernel available that has this option. Any information would be appreciated.

Super easy if you can grasp the concept. It's just setting a bunch of 1s and 0s for things you want and don't want

Hi, thank you for your post. I'm actually using this feature on LOS. Apart from the few bugs I've listed, this ROM is very solid. Amazing performance (I can tell you, you won't be disappointed) and good battery life as well. You should give it a try, as long as the bugs don't affect you too much.
The HAVOC Rom seems very well maintained, unfortunately, I agree, there are too many features for my simple needs and it probably affects performance as well.
Using the stock rom with francokernel installed, I love the extra features and to have a awesome look I am using the AOD coupled with viper4Ndroid, lawchair launcher,lawnstep and Google framework.

Well, it actually happened to me once. I've tried since then to use my camera and never got an issue again. Also, in between there's been an update and since the update I didn't have any bug. So maybe it's fixed, I'm not sure.
If the bug is still present, it's not ideal obviously, but it's ok as far as you don't have to take an "instant" picture (i.e. something you have to take on the moment and not two minutes later).
Also, I don't know if that's related but I didn't have any issue since I've been using the OP6T apk.
So, to sum up, I don't know if:
1) I'm lucky
2) it's the 6T apk which works better
3) it's the last LOS update which fixes the issue

About Havoc OS: (thread link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-havoc-os-t3817805)★ Positive things
- Many features even border radius of the screen corners
- Stable and no crashes
- OOS cam with portrait & night mode
- Almost all bugs gone if OB6 is used
★ Less-positive things (i.e. "bad" things)
- Notch hide will return on next build (currently not available)
- Battery life (3–4 % standby drain per hour)
- Security patch says September 2018 but I assume it's from vendor and not from the ROM but I can't tell

The OOS cam is available on AOSIP, you should give it a try. I can't tell about battery yet though.
