Suggestion for kernel - Developers,please take a look here ! - Galaxy S Advance I9070 General

Hello! Recently,i checked phone name OnePlus One. One of the things which i like at it,is that gesture which launch camera by drawing letter "C" while screen is off.I will like to see this feature in kernel for our device.Let me explain my idea:
1.Implement gestures in kernel (gestures while screen is off).
2.Make a "section" in Novathor Settings named "Gestures".If is possible,in this section will be great options like these:
a) Choose a gesture: we draw it (only letters).
b) Assign to that gesture an action: we choose that action (actions like: launch an app,put alarm off/on etc. or even support for Tasker).
I know that:
-this feature will drain some more battery,but personally i dont care about +/- some mins.
-is hard to do these.
-you developers have a life and you are busy,but if you have free time,maybe you accept my "challenge".I think a feature like this,will give all Galaxy S Advance users a better experience.Thank you to all developers which done and still doing awesome things for our beloved phone and i hope we can see this feature one day.
If you will do it,please let us know

Up... I just want make sure that all developers saw it

Kernels for KK
There is only 1 kernel for kitkat and that to for AOSP rom
Please provide with more kernels for kitkat for more custom roms
and please do take care for the BATTERY LIFE

Please, tell us why you need a wide choice of different kernels..

Because the stock kernel drains the battery a lot and the custom kernel (for KK) is only available for AOSP rom and i use carbon rom

Why not ? Another kernel means another people, another people means another ideas.

@mkaluza : Maybe you are interested in this.

Are you sure it's because of the kernel? I installed Carbon once and I like most of it except that it had a bug in surface flinger that caused it to spin and drain battery, so I dropped it. Connect the cable, log in with adb, turn the screen of and start top is you see surface flinger taking more than a few % of cpu time than it has this bug. Anyway - I use Vanir now and it's near perfect, even on stock kernel. Once we figure out the problem with wifi, you can also use my custom kernel - just follow this thread

This mostly means more mess... More unfinished, unstable kernels and a total chaos for a newcommer who just wants a stable non oem fw/kernel.... That's what I always found when I came to xda after some break and with no time to do a Phd on this stuff and it always ended up the same way (that is building my own kernel and a lost week of time :/) There's too little cooperation and coordination betweend devs, but that's a completely different story.

I'm not interested. For me it's just a gimmick worth more as a marketing feature than a usability thing. Though - if it's on OnePlus than probably implementation of this can be found somewhere in CM sources.
Anyway, my pc can't build aosp, so even if I wanted, I couldn't. I'm busy with project zen and this will keep me busy for another 6-12 months (because I want to do it well and try to push it to aosp kernel), and if I ever get a life, this period will get even longer ;P
And you know - it's open source, which means that if you want it - do it Most things that most devs in OS world do is because _they_ need it, and if they have time and mood,they package it up, so that others can benefit as well. But in real life most things that have a wish list, also have a price list - that's just the way it is.

A ROM with all the following

Ok Guys, Its my first post here but I have been lurking around here for quite some time, so I wont be as annoying as most noobs I guess
Anyway, I've tried many different ROMs on my captivate and I find all of them to be pretty good but I am yet to find one which packs all the goodies I want. They are not too much to ask for IMO. I need your advice and suggestions on this.
I want a ROM with the following in it:
-Extended Power menu(Recovery, Download)
-Touchwiz4 or Touchwiz4.5 launcher
-Gpsfix
-SuperUser Enabled
-ICS boot animation
-ICS themed( but wiht TW4)
-Some Tweaks for more battery life
- Some cool lockscreens(Preferably the ICS lock should be there)
- Shouldn't scoop up too much of memory( In some roms I couldn't get more than 120mb free RAM even in idle state. I want at least 170mb free)

Unfortunately, no one can tell you whats good for you. The only way to go about this is to read. From your questions, it appears that you dont appear too noob So, read the OP and last couple of pages of the threads. They should give a fair idea if anyone is facing any particular issues.
On side note; it appears KK4 source code has been released. So you may want to wait for some time before the magicians (Read: developers) wind their magic for ROMs and kernels.
If none of the roms have all the features...find one with the hardest to do (lock screen for example) and then add the rest in yourself.
This is xda...a place not only to download cool stuff..but also a place to learn how to do things yourself.
Like saying it needs to have a certain boot animation and launcher, that is EASILY changed.
I have found Fasty lll a real nice rom if you haven't tried it yet give it a shot. All you can do is try them to see if you like them.

I've flashed MANY different ROM's, and not a single one has given me exactly what I wanted for features(Quite frankly, it's not the Dev's duty to fulfil my every wish). So what you end up with is, find a ROM that has as many of the most important features for you, that aren't apk related, load it, and modify it to suit your needs.
Truely, that is the best you're going to get. There are SO many different options available that it would be near imposible to find one that hits each and every thing on your list.......UNLESS you build the ROM yourself, and you can then cook it to suit your needs
No single ROM can fulfil your every desire...every rom has its highlights and low points but miui is better but u need to look for a touchwiz apk and install. On the bright side miui has customizable boot screen and lock screen

[Q] Big Fonts - Stable ROM: What's Ideal for the Know-Nothing User?

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...

I am proud to present to you BeanStalk Builds put together by myself. This is a build composed off of the CM builds and i have added alot of features on top of it. So you get speed, stability, and ultra customization ability. Many of the additional code additions came from slim ROM and also Derteufels build and have been modified to work with my current setup. A huge thanks to Derteufel and the Slim ROM guys for their work and dedication. Also a big thanks to everyone involved with CM as that is the building stone in this project. Thanks to skyliner33v for the bootanimation and upcoming wallpapers!
I plan on updating this and adding features on a pretty regular basis, so if you happen to like this, keep checking back.

Yeah, I've been seeing gradual decreasing support for MDPI devices. Hopefully I'd be adding back most of the 'resized' drawables (which would fix any FC's that you might face), but till then, please stay put (or gimme a hand in resizing them drawables )
Also, I've fixed up two lines in BoardConfig.mk (thanks to galaxyfreak), which might have been causing the "Can't connect to camera" error randomly.
And, reverted back two commits in kernel disabling lpa audio. in case lpa audio was causing the call issue
Anyways, this is a discussion thread. Please feel free to report such issues.
Rom & gapps can be on nand? I don't wanna use any script on startup. I just use mount2sd & move App+dalvikvm but not the data of the apps for speed purposes.
Btw I'm once again hoping great work from your side. :good:

same opinion with u。Number is not so important in roms as a fixed quality rom.

I agree with yu both... Bt these bugs may take a lot of time to solve...
And users can try different roms instead asking ETAs and all and each have its own features... Am not opposing anyone... Just telling what i feel.. :thumbup:
And gud luck bro... Love your work bro.. . Pico now got a lot 4.4 roms..

I remember my first work, around 7 months ago, which I released on XDA (before that I was just working on some random tools, scripts and stuff, making custom themed CM ROMs, naming them "Zeta ROM" etc), which was Cyanic Sense. Before that I had my first experience "making" a kernel. It took 40 minutes on my pre-pentium 4 processor. I remember Rishik999 who I worked with. I remember releasing a flashable zip for the Stock ROM v1.43.720.2 with the combined efforts of me, rishik and racerroney, with help from explorerman.
Back to cyanic sense, Though it was just theming, it was difficult, for I didn't know where to start. I quit that, because of two reasons.
1. stock, was buggy, and slow.
2. there wasn't any "real" developing that I was doing.
2.5. I had got a new computer, so, no longer did I have to wait for ~40 minutes to get a kernel compiled.
Now, looking back to about two months ago. The end of october. Cyanogenmod ICS was the first ROM that I compiled, just to test the specs of my pc, build times, etc. Still, I was making builds at the rate of a build per hour and half, or so. Looked at MiniCM, there was great potential in there, for it. I was starting to learn things.
MiniCM was THE greatest project (IMO, until now) ever that I worked on, that I can be proud of (till this day), just because I did it, and It was my first work. No matter, I decided to "stabilize" the ICS ROM with k3.0.101. I remember that day, when @rcane had released a flashable s2w zip update for it on the thread. I flashed it, didn't work. Decided to make it work, and voila! That was the first build, with very few changelog.
First, started out with cherry-picking, (too many of them), most useful ones had been abandoned by them cm-gerrit, just because ICS was outdated. decided to create repos, and implement some real useful features into ICS, making it "rock stable", and stuff as you'd say it. User suggestions started flowing in (those who did care for ICS). Had a hard time keeping up with all the features that the users requested (not many, as only a few used ICS). I wasn't able to fix up all their requests, but still... Anyways, I was still learning. Collaborated with Umair (omerjerk), and went on to add toggles and stuff... Finally, went on to create CodyROM, (with some more great collab, with Vaibhav (#Superuser), and Dhruman (dhrumangajjar)) just because of two things:
1. It was over with the MiniCM brand name, as it limited my functionality.
2. Users really didn't think any different of MiniCM, and i was just the guy, providing builds, and they neither do that now, either.
I also did a few builds of cm10, cm10.2, but never really released them. just because there wasn't anything that I added or so :\
Did anyone bother? Nope. Except the ones who used ICS? Nope. Did I bother? Nope. Because I knew I was outdated, and Kitkat had released too, so none really bothered. Did I care? No. Because I was learning. That project gave me both the headstart and confidence, experience and a little knowledge about the android build system.
Without it, I wouldn't be what I am today.
Finally, went from "I" to "we". Then, there was quite a some pressure from "people" regarding, "ICS is outdated", "move on", and so on...
So, decided to work on my first kitkat ROM, Omni. Thanks to the experience that I gained from MiniCM, and CodyROM, I was able to get it booted at first attempt (using the really outdated device tree at picokat) (the tree's still the same way).
Ok, so Kitkat booted. Problems: audio not routing. RIL didn't work. black screen in browser. dang outdated, because pico was using ION. and mainly: incompatibility of sources. AOSP doesn't simply make sources compatible. Even now, for CM, we use a hacked display-legacy, media-legacy, and frameworks/av. hoepfully, there were certain commits in the gerrit of omni, that helped me along the way. I'd like to thank sachin thomas for helping me get ION booted in pico, and cute_prince for enabling ION in the pico kernel. This fixed some of the issues. Also, few others like Nihar, and galaxyfreak helped, and RIL, camera working. That was Omni, for Pico. That was the ever first release of TeamCody, in kitkat.
At this point, i'd take a timeout to say how the ROMs itself are made:
First they add the features (keeping in mind to add compatibility later)
ROMs are compatible for nexus, voila! great! bravo!
And, at some point of time, it slips out of their mind that they have to add compatibility too.
One common example of it would be missing drawables. When adding new featues, mostly these are tested in XHDPI devices, like the Nexus? So, another problem faced: I really wouldn't know what's missing, until I boot the ROM, and get hell lot of FC's.
Meanwhile, ROMs were releasing in the Development section. Ported ROMs. I was never with the idea of ported ROMs, because I have a blind belief that ROMs built for the device would be stabler, and bugs can be more easily fixed that way. (not that I don't use ported ROMs. I do use them, in cases inevitable, or when I don't be able to build them from source)
So, decided to make them ROMs, so that I could fix bugs, along the way, thus helping the community back, and in the course, learning more. If you'd have seen, Carbon, AOSPA, Beanstalk, AOKP was already ported. I'd done only Evervolv, and Omni.
AOKP was a request by Amal, who said that he couldn't get AOKP booted with ION by porting... Evervolv, I did it for the legacy support (they're teh best at that). Beanstalk, I had a strong feeling to get this one done. because of the customizations available. Carbon, had to be done, because its another great ROM. Omni, was my wish to do.
Now, there's one thing that *most* of the custom ROMs lack today. Legacy support. I decided to use AOSPA-legacy repos, just because one can't build from the official AOSPA repos for older hardware. its built FOR nexus. Carbon, NVM, had a tough time cherry-picking commits. AOKP, was equally difficult. Omni, please. They said that legacy support would be their prime aim. now, all that vanished into thin air.
On the other hand, Cyanogenmod, says you. Great! Functionality at its best! Reason: solid legacy support! legacy support at its best. ALL phones are likely supported. You just need to hack device specific repos that are hardware oriented like media-legacy, display-legacy, and frameworks/av to get it working. Its easy to just sync the cm repos, and make fully booting, working ROMs, "without any bugs", as you say.
But, that's not the case with all other ROMs, both cm-derived and otherwise.
It takes time to find, merge support for legacy devices like ours.
It takes time to find missing drawables.
It takes time to hash out all changes that are "device specific" breaking builds, or so.
It takes time for me to build kitkat. 3 hours, for the first compile, with ccache, and a hour and half the next time. Not to mention, 3 hours, if the build doesn't break. and the build doesn't boot? then, derp around with frameworks, and hardware repos a bit more to find why it doesn't work, and how to get it working.
I don't have a build server that churns out builds every half an hour, so that I can test it, rebuild with fixes.
Beanstalk's frameworks/av was almost not synced with CM's for the past few days.
Also, Beanstalk had missing drawables, as said earlier, just like Carbon did. Sorry, if it seems like I'm repeating stuff.
And yes, users seem to be very very biased to names, ROms, and otherwise.
Cyanogenmod, yes. A build by a "recognized person", yes. I remember joilaroi, the person who was responsible to making a very stable cm-10.2, was first recieved with "doubt" when he said that he'd fixed them bugs.
Ok, this post's gone too far. Spoke too much.
I ain't saying that I am a great developer or anything. The real great people are the poeple who work on the ROMs, and its features. I am still learning stuff. just that it's taking too much of a toll on me, my health, and my academic life.
I've still got a lot to learn, and won't be *not* doing it, just because people say so.
Finally, I quote scott again.
I am doing this for fun. It is my CHOICE to share my work with everyone. If you decide that you do not like my work, good for you.. Move on and flash something else. I will not tolerate ungrateful people in my thread.

Don't like what I said? Go on, report this post. Report me. Just to let you know, that I don't give a damn.
so long the post。Thnak u 4 your efforts first,and then your work。
some people ask for the roms to be fixed mainly because they like it,with eager。
they can ask for the work,but cannnot ask u to do the work。
if tired,just take a break。
it is really a outdate device,but it has to be the goood one with the effort of “the android masters” 。
it is a miracle itself just for the Roms。Thanks for all people who work hard on it。

same opinion with u。Number is not so important in roms as a fixed quality rom.

Ok, let's quote scott.hart.bti here.
I remember my first work, around 7 months ago, which I released on XDA (before that I was just working on some random tools, scripts and stuff, making custom themed CM ROMs, naming them "Zeta ROM" etc), which was Cyanic Sense. Before that I had my first experience "making" a kernel. It took 40 minutes on my pre-pentium 4 processor. I remember Rishik999 who I worked with. I remember releasing a flashable zip for the Stock ROM v1.43.720.2 with the combined efforts of me, rishik and racerroney, with help from explorerman.
Back to cyanic sense, Though it was just theming, it was difficult, for I didn't know where to start. I quit that, because of two reasons.
1. stock, was buggy, and slow.
2. there wasn't any "real" developing that I was doing.
2.5. I had got a new computer, so, no longer did I have to wait for ~40 minutes to get a kernel compiled.
Now, looking back to about two months ago. The end of october. Cyanogenmod ICS was the first ROM that I compiled, just to test the specs of my pc, build times, etc. Still, I was making builds at the rate of a build per hour and half, or so. Looked at MiniCM, there was great potential in there, for it. I was starting to learn things.
MiniCM was THE greatest project (IMO, until now) ever that I worked on, that I can be proud of (till this day), just because I did it, and It was my first work. No matter, I decided to "stabilize" the ICS ROM with k3.0.101. I remember that day, when @rcane had released a flashable s2w zip update for it on the thread. I flashed it, didn't work. Decided to make it work, and voila! That was the first build, with very few changelog.
First, started out with cherry-picking, (too many of them), most useful ones had been abandoned by them cm-gerrit, just because ICS was outdated. decided to create repos, and implement some real useful features into ICS, making it "rock stable", and stuff as you'd say it. User suggestions started flowing in (those who did care for ICS). Had a hard time keeping up with all the features that the users requested (not many, as only a few used ICS). I wasn't able to fix up all their requests, but still... Anyways, I was still learning. Collaborated with Umair (omerjerk), and went on to add toggles and stuff... Finally, went on to create CodyROM, (with some more great collab, with Vaibhav (#Superuser), and Dhruman (dhrumangajjar)) just because of two things:
1. It was over with the MiniCM brand name, as it limited my functionality.
2. Users really didn't think any different of MiniCM, and i was just the guy, providing builds, and they neither do that now, either.
I also did a few builds of cm10, cm10.2, but never really released them. just because there wasn't anything that I added or so :\
Did anyone bother? Nope. Except the ones who used ICS? Nope. Did I bother? Nope. Because I knew I was outdated, and Kitkat had released too, so none really bothered. Did I care? No. Because I was learning. That project gave me both the headstart and confidence, experience and a little knowledge about the android build system.
Without it, I wouldn't be what I am today.
Finally, went from "I" to "we". Then, there was quite a some pressure from "people" regarding, "ICS is outdated", "move on", and so on...
So, decided to work on my first kitkat ROM, Omni. Thanks to the experience that I gained from MiniCM, and CodyROM, I was able to get it booted at first attempt (using the really outdated device tree at picokat) (the tree's still the same way).
Ok, so Kitkat booted. Problems: audio not routing. RIL didn't work. black screen in browser. dang outdated, because pico was using ION. and mainly: incompatibility of sources. AOSP doesn't simply make sources compatible. Even now, for CM, we use a hacked display-legacy, media-legacy, and frameworks/av. hoepfully, there were certain commits in the gerrit of omni, that helped me along the way. I'd like to thank sachin thomas for helping me get ION booted in pico, and cute_prince for enabling ION in the pico kernel. This fixed some of the issues. Also, few others like Nihar, and galaxyfreak helped, and RIL, camera working. That was Omni, for Pico. That was the ever first release of TeamCody, in kitkat.
At this point, i'd take a timeout to say how the ROMs itself are made:
First they add the features (keeping in mind to add compatibility later)
ROMs are compatible for nexus, voila! great! bravo!
And, at some point of time, it slips out of their mind that they have to add compatibility too.
One common example of it would be missing drawables. When adding new featues, mostly these are tested in XHDPI devices, like the Nexus? So, another problem faced: I really wouldn't know what's missing, until I boot the ROM, and get hell lot of FC's.
Meanwhile, ROMs were releasing in the Development section. Ported ROMs. I was never with the idea of ported ROMs, because I have a blind belief that ROMs built for the device would be stabler, and bugs can be more easily fixed that way. (not that I don't use ported ROMs. I do use them, in cases inevitable, or when I don't be able to build them from source)
So, decided to make them ROMs, so that I could fix bugs, along the way, thus helping the community back, and in the course, learning more. If you'd have seen, Carbon, AOSPA, Beanstalk, AOKP was already ported. I'd done only Evervolv, and Omni.
AOKP was a request by Amal, who said that he couldn't get AOKP booted with ION by porting... Evervolv, I did it for the legacy support (they're teh best at that). Beanstalk, I had a strong feeling to get this one done. because of the customizations available. Carbon, had to be done, because its another great ROM. Omni, was my wish to do.
Now, there's one thing that *most* of the custom ROMs lack today. Legacy support. I decided to use AOSPA-legacy repos, just because one can't build from the official AOSPA repos for older hardware. its built FOR nexus. Carbon, NVM, had a tough time cherry-picking commits. AOKP, was equally difficult. Omni, please. They said that legacy support would be their prime aim. now, all that vanished into thin air.
On the other hand, Cyanogenmod, says you. Great! Functionality at its best! Reason: solid legacy support! legacy support at its best. ALL phones are likely supported. You just need to hack device specific repos that are hardware oriented like media-legacy, display-legacy, and frameworks/av to get it working. Its easy to just sync the cm repos, and make fully booting, working ROMs, "without any bugs", as you say.
But, that's not the case with all other ROMs, both cm-derived and otherwise.
It takes time to find, merge support for legacy devices like ours.
It takes time to find missing drawables.
It takes time to hash out all changes that are "device specific" breaking builds, or so.
It takes time for me to build kitkat. 3 hours, for the first compile, with ccache, and a hour and half the next time. Not to mention, 3 hours, if the build doesn't break. and the build doesn't boot? then, derp around with frameworks, and hardware repos a bit more to find why it doesn't work, and how to get it working.
I don't have a build server that churns out builds every half an hour, so that I can test it, rebuild with fixes.
Beanstalk's frameworks/av was almost not synced with CM's for the past few days.
Also, Beanstalk had missing drawables, as said earlier, just like Carbon did. Sorry, if it seems like I'm repeating stuff.
And yes, users seem to be very very biased to names, ROms, and otherwise.
Cyanogenmod, yes. A build by a "recognized person", yes. I remember joilaroi, the person who was responsible to making a very stable cm-10.2, was first recieved with "doubt" when he said that he'd fixed them bugs.
Ok, this post's gone too far. Spoke too much.
I ain't saying that I am a great developer or anything. The real great people are the poeple who work on the ROMs, and its features. I am still learning stuff. just that it's taking too much of a toll on me, my health, and my academic life.
I've still got a lot to learn, and won't be *not* doing it, just because people say so.
Finally, I quote scott again.
Don't like what I said? Go on, report this post. Report me. Just to let you know, that I don't give a damn.

the rom is too buggy , mp3 files doesn't play in any players , then the call distortion bug ,
thats it other than that this is an awesome and smooth rom
pls fix it...
:good:
Call audio Bug fix
Download patch_callaudio.zip from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49483706&postcount=23
This should fix the "user at other end not able to hear your voice properly" bug
If it doesn't work, reboot once?
p.s. This *should* be flashable on all of my kitkat ROMs, but I need testers for them all.
Hey @thewisenerd these are some bugs I faced in this rom
1. Okay frankly speaking the ROM is damn laggy I know cuz of many customization options.
2. Video recording not working ( I didn't use the cam fix cuz u said it deteriorate the image quality )
3. When playing the video in hw mode the video controls disappear but video plays fine and in sw mode everything is good
4. Sometimes the Google play music doesn't play music after reboot but other music players work just fine
5. Screen recording gives reboot
Other than this the rom good for those who love customizations but can do with a lag
I hope you update this rom soon

1. idk why or how, but might be due to its laarge size and many many features
2. dunno why
3. upstream derp
4. idk... apollo's working fine
5. screen recording ain't completely supported for our phone yet.
6. see below:
Beta 2:
Changelog:
upstream changes
fixed apollo
fixed in call audio
fixed games
fixed memtrack spam in logcat
fixed some other randome shiz (see, i don't really remember all of it now )
bugs:
video recording doesn't work (lemme first find a way to get logs first)
see, the motive of this forum si that people report bugs, and there's interaction. this is a forum. not a place where one just keeps talking to themselves. if ain't gonna get bug reports/logs, that bug is probably not going to be fixed. also, know about the kind of bug. if its an upstream bug, probably just wait for them to fix the bug.

[Reviews] [Feedback] Comparison of the different CUSTOM ROMs (features, exp, bugs)

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:

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.

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.

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

- 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

Sure thing! I'm searching for a custom ROM with good battery, features and OOS cam. I only used LOS for the past 3 years but I really want the OOS cam

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

Just noticed my favourite ROM was dead for more than a year. What to choose?

I just noticed the ROM I have installed on my phone (Bootleggers) most likely died (their website isn't up anymore, there's no new threads about it, their GitHub/Sourceforge didn't have any recent activity at all etc.). I chose this ROM because of some neat features it had. And, that's the reason I'm asking this question today.
The features I want to have might be stupid for others, but they make me choose a ROM over another one and since I don't really have the time I had before to go through every ROM I see with support for my phone, I am asking everyone for their personal preferences.
A ROM for me must have (from the most to the least important):
- Must be de-googled/have a de-googled variant
- Support for signature spoofing (this is needed because I will use microG to actually keep getting notifications on my phone)
- Include as little proprietary programs as possible (yeah, I know Bootleggers didn't really do that), preferably only include open source apps (I don't care if they're fully free software or something, they can be anything open source and a little bit more privacy-minded without tracking or anything than others, I am willing to make some small sacrifices but I want to use as many open source programs as possible)
- Over the air updates (I think all have that but I'll still specify)
- Must be the latest version of Android
- Work profile/Shelter support (but I think that absolutely everything nowadays has that)
And now come the least important things, but ones that will still make me choose a ROM which has them over one which doesn't:
- It would be nice if the default apps looked modern, and maybe also had consistent theming, preferably one that syncs to the theming you do in the Settings app
- Smart Pixels (turn off a certain percent of pixels to save some power/reduce brightness even further to some degree)
- Always on screen
- Changing colors, fonts, QS tile styling, theming in general, the more the better, and here come the things I really really want:
- The 'CRT' lock screen animation
- The 'Type' lock screen clock (the one where instead of showing 10:19 it writes 'It's Ten Nineteen')
So, yeah, I'll be glad to hear all of your suggestions! Or, if anyone still knows anything about what happened to Bootleggers I'll really want to know
You can try Dot OS with similar features. I am sure you will like it.
