Why no custom STOCK roms ? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I don't know if it's a question or just a complaint.
Looking at all threads, I see a billion ROM based on CyanogenMod or AOSP. But for stock, there's one thread: The one from Lost101. Fortunately, these are good quality ROM, with the essential (debloat, little bug fixes, some optimizations, root).
But it's too bad there are not others ROM, which add some customization: statusbar icons/clock, LED notifications settings, volume key behavior for example. These options are available in CM indeed, but CM is not usable for everybody because of some bugs that only power users can deal with. Stock ROM is more stable and uses less battery, several reports confirm this.
I know there's a module called Xposed. But I'm not convinced I should add another libraries layer (Linux layer + android layer + Google layer + Motoroga layer) just for some optimizations.
So why nobody (I meant developer/cooker) wants to personalize stock ROM ?

This is the reason why I started the Stock ROM Collections; for people to use as a base for their own ROMs.

because there's no source code available for stock motorola rom. It's very hard to modify code that already has been compiled. But still some guys do this for example @xpirt and his gpe modpacks are contain a lot of modification in addition to stock gpe rom.
But customs aren't so bad if you find stable build. I've been for a couple of months on euphoria rom and now I've flashed CM 12.1 snapshot and it's incredibly stable in my opinion. No bugs I found so far. And it's definitely better then stock one. Battery life the same, performance is higher. I had always face google start launcher redraws and music playback stopping when using chrome on stock 5.1 roms. That's the reason I moved to customs.

Xpirt mods look nice indeed. Too bad he did not do that for stock roms (no GPE).
I remember of my Galaxy SII, based on stock, despite being already compiled, there were a lot of customisations.
For CM, I already tried it, without success.

It's possible to port Timescape (Xperia UI) to the Moto G 4G ?

What would be the point if opportunities exist to build a ROM from source code?

Because stock ROM = stable + good battery = good for grandma
CM or AOSP = some problems + less battery = NO good for grandma.

You missed out qualifiers...
Code:
[Some] stock ROM = stable + good battery := good for grandma
[Some] CM or AOSP = some problems + less battery := NO good for grandma
There also exists..
Code:
[Some] CM or AOSP = stable enough + good enough battery := good for grandma

Build info from the original build.prop. Stock rom here (not recommended for normal users).
I removed some stock apps & Google apps. Updated the market. Redoxed & resigned. Rooted with latest chainsdd superuser. modified dta2sd. CM7 libm.so (antutu floating point fix). CM7 bash. CM7 openvpn. CM7 keyboard. CM7 gps shim. CM7 apns. Added CM7 Magic Smoke live wallpaper. CM7 Contacts, messaging & dialler. CM7 DeskClock. BusyBox 1.19 - official armv6 binary from busybox.net here. Gen1 & Gen2 compatible. Cache on tmpfs. Few small tweaks.
Custom 2.6.35 kernel with overclocking, lots of cpu governors & i/o schedulers, led notification fix, cifs, tun.ko (module), ext4, undervolting, tweaks & fixes, etc. Thanks to Burstlam & Tom G for lots of code for that. Source code here - https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35
Most things that you'd expect seem to work. Please report any bugs. Some bugs may be ZTE's fault & hard to fix due to no source code. This is a basic stripped down modded stock rom, with few custom features, it will stay that way. Don't ask me for extra customisations, make them yourself & release them as addons in your own thread, or just use CM7.
Usual disclaimer applies, no guarantees, I'll just laugh if it breaks your phone, etc.

Cool - the story called "GSF" still goes on - I'm impressed.
After several weeks of being completely satisfied with Elitemovil's ROM, I wanted to try yours. And I have to say: well done. Everything seems to work as it should.
Calls, Sensors, WLAN, USB are working. No bugs so far.
The GPS fix lasts some time but that seems to vary in general - just a first impression.
Stable and smooth from what I see.
Thanks for sharing this new version of GSF.
Edit: Hmm, no overclocking? Didn't you say kernel with oc? And Antutu's Benchmark gave 200 points less than standard Moldovan or Elitemovil. Do I need to change some configs?
There is overclocking support in the kernel, you just need to use an app like nofrills cpu or setcpu (not included) to enable it, or edit a config file in /system/etc/init.d
Antutu & other android benchmarks are poor, not really worth paying any attention to. It might even be a feature that improves the overall performance of the phone affecting the benchmark, like autogroup scheduling. It could just be that you're comparing results at stock speed in this rom vs overclocking in other roms. I can't see much difference, I just got 1600 at stock speed in antutu & 1708 at 672mhz, which is about what I'd expect. It can vary randomly between different runs too.
Maybe it is one of the ZTE libs, I only replaced one for performance reasons in this (libm.so, compiled from cm7 source), I replaced more in the old gsf. libm.so from the zte rom appears to be compiled to use software floating point emulation, despite the cpu having hardware floating point (vfp)... that reduces the antutu floating point score drastically, although it doesn't have much effect on performance in reality... probably some other zte built libs were compiled with sub-optimal compiler optimisation flags too. I think most apps & games where performance is important will probably have their own optimised libraries, so it wont make any difference.
I don't want to replace too many files in this rom for stability reasons. I don't have the source code for this rom, it's closed source, we don't know what modifications zte has made. If I start using too many library files compiled from CM7 source then it could cause problems due to Cyanogen & ZTE both modifying the code in different ways. There could be some unexpected & hard to track down bugs caused by it.
Updated.
r2: Updated Market. Removed extra apps, fonts & ringtones, added them as separate addons.
Hi mate, grate rom
I'm having problems with the proximity sensor, the screen got black after a call and none of the buttons work, I simply have to remove the battery.
Is there any chance that I can regulate the sensor?

Calibrate your proximity sensor using the dialler code *983*0# or zte emode helper app.

Any new rom will seem to use more battery at first (or less, then suddenly drop), it takes a while to build up accurate battery stats. It seems similar to the old gsf for battery life to me. It's really hard to compare battery life between different roms & test it properly, you certainly haven't had time to do it yet.
There will be a few small improvements that should increase battery life in the next version, like under-volting the wifi adaptor & a few optimisations to make things a bit more efficient.
I see. OK then let's give more time to the rom. Tanks mate!

Overall CM7 is better & always will be. However there are still a few bugs in CM7 which are different to the bugs in ZTE 2.3.5. The camera works better in this (hopefully works on the Libra now too, but I can't test) & the battery might last a bit longer. Some people prefer the ZTE dialler & apps too.
So I just made it to broaden the choice of roms available, some people prefer the bugs in this version compared to the bugs in CM7.
Also, if I get time, I want to get Dolby Mobile working in this, taken from the skate. It might be a bit easier to get it working in a ZTE rom than CM7. That's the real reason for the rom, but I might not get time, it might never happen.
The goal is to make it as small, fast, low power & stripped down as possible to provide a base for developers to add things to & test. Also to test out & demonstrate kernel patches (mainly from other people) & other small performance optimisations that might not get accepted in to cyanogenmod, I'm trying to keep it stable & close to stock at the same time though. It's good to have a variety of roms available & it might help or push the cyanogenmod developers to fix some of the bugs which aren't present in ZTE roms. It's easier to compare with a stripped down rooted 'gen2' converted rom rather than a full gen3 stock rom, especially as the main cm7 dev for the blade has a gen1 tpt updated to gen2 phone & doesn't use windows, so can't update to gen3.
It might also be suitable as a daily rom for somebody who just wants basic stable, fast rooted Gingerbread with decent battery life & camera, if they don't want all the CM7 customisations.
As usual, great work wbaw... Will try it out tonight while at work!

Thanks for letting me know it works. I can't test it, my camera always worked.
There are different camera sensors from different manufacturers in different versions of the Blade & Libra.
Full source code for the kernel driver for the new camera in the Libra hasn't been released by ZTE (illegal, gpl violation!). Burstlam & Tom G had to piece together the code themselves. I was just using Tom G's patch before, which works for CM7, but it needed another extra patch from Burstlam to get it working for ZTE roms with a custom kernel.
First of all good to see you back and developing roms wbaw!
i decided to to give this rom a try becouse i like roms that are more like the stock one, and this far i love it!
I made a quick percentage batteryicon and black statusbar/notification for who wants to give it a try: http://www.multiupload.com/ATUFNMSZL1

[ROM][AOSP][5.1.1] Slim ROM Beta 0.14 #Back2Basics [Unofficial][2016-January-13]

First of all - all credits go to cordell and Slim Team. After will left the hlte slim scene, I found great gap when it comes to light and functional roms. Aim of this rom will be to stay close to Slim principles, but optimised with various toolchains and adding few features that I deem necessary.
This is the worst OP ever.
At this stage, it is still early to add or request features, as Slim just started developing again. When the code settles, I will have my own take on this rom. It will stay small, fast and stable above everything else.
Slim is back! Getting better with each release.

Remember this kind of ROM is not everybody's cup of tea. Not many features, but boy it feels light.
Then it's my cup oft tea. After searching for more and more features since Note 1 I settled down a bit and search for a stable slim rom.
Btw. Will is back in the building game for hlte but only with a slim cm build.

FANTASTIC !!
MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK AS WELL AS FOR STARTING THIS THREAD !!
Have used (and really enjoyed) ROM intensively at work for the last three days or so.
Very - very light, smooth, rock stable and lightning fast !! (windows open after you think and before you click !!).
Love this bare bone feeling !!
Appreciated very much the save photos to sd option as well as the enter instead of emoticon in keyboard (no need for x-posed modules) and the volume buttons moving cursor options (I think both are missing in AOSPA - also an EXCELLENT ROM !!).
Lovely grey signal bars for 2G turn white for 3G - LTE.
Quick boot option is there to activate but shut down function in advanced power menu doesn't actually shut device down, therefore unable to confirm that it works.
Minor issue: after boot, ROM hangs for quite a while (I haven't timed it but I'm getting the impression it takes quite a bit longer than other 5.1.1 ROMs to boot up) in home screen before lockscreen is activated (therefore danger of shortcuts getting accidentally pressed in one's pocket etc).
A cupple of functions I could definitely live without but which would make (my) life easier if present:
Phone keypad T9 localizations.
Symbols for long press in AOSP keyboard.
Battery percentage (instead of icon) option for taskbar (I COMPLETELY ADORED the semi hidden -like easter egg- function when pressing the little battery icon in AOSPA's battery settings).
Another small thing: I think missed calls appear as received in call history.
And possibly no more than a cupple more (almost not worth mentioning) I don't remember.
My hardware buttons workaround is currently "gesture navigation" x-posed module that does an excellent job once one gets used to it (I will probably use it instead of buttons from now on).
Currently trying AOSPA daily at work (this, to me, is the only real testing) which gives me a very good feeling of fluidity, smoothness and stability though without the imediate responsiveness that Slim does (often reminds me of "Broken" which, after all is a Slim on steroids). I will post in the appropriate thread (many thanks for this also) when I'm done.
All the best.
Yours as always

Many thanks again encho.
Excellent ROM overall.
Enjoyed and still enjoying. Using since yesterday afternoon (24 hrs) <-I too always come back to Slim & have a tendency to stay->.
Really fast and light feeling even after having lived with Broken for 24 hrs so:
speed & snappiness 990/1.000 (agreeing that the latest version of Broken is always the standard for speed & snappiness ie 999/1.000 unless stated otherways).
No lack of any feature I would consider essential or find hard to live without. This said, hardware button mapping preferably with ability to assign app or shortcut to long-press and/or double press (excellent workaround for this is Gesture Navigation x-posed module), phonepad button T9 localization and long press phonepad button speed dialling would definitely have made my life easier.
Slim Launcher integration is very welcome and the addition of Personalisation>Interface in settings very promising for having one or two more features in future builds.
QuickBoot mode in Developer options an excellent addition - but Power Off command in Power Button long press menu doesn't work when QuickBoot mode is activated (works fine otherways but then there's no QuickBoot- haha) so let's say:
features 900/1.000 (agreeing that the latest version of BlissPop is always the standard for features ie 999/1.000 -or maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this at all -LOL- going to try latest version imediately after this)
Stability now is 999/1.000 since all basic settings and built-in applications work fine (QuickBoot mode is more of a feature than a basic setting so it doesn't count). And which ROM shall we agree is setting the standard for stability ? Probably EOS I should think.
Anyway, this was a first try -hopefully will mature over time (& get shorter and more juicy). I will try and post every time I have tried a new ROM / ROM version, either for a very short time (ie flashacholic's curiosity to see what's "inside the box") or for a longer period, at work etc. For anyone who happens to read this: please feel free to suggest anything and always remember that this is done purely for fun.

Great review, people will know what to expect before flashing. :good:
@encho thanks for the update and your hard work.
Are you planning to make this rom compatible with other custom kernels like arter97's or temasek's?

[Help me to decide] I want PIE, let me know ur experiences with that feature!

Hi, im looking for a nice Lemon Pie and i want to my N5 to gimme it, how can i get it? =P
Nah OT:
I'm searching for a rom that have those features, PIE and the option to disable Navbar (most roms have that one but no PIE), the other things is that i most prefer CAF over non-CAF but i think i've tested all the CAF based roms with PIE feature and except Temasek's CM13 CAF that has a horrible screen on battery drain in the last build, that have all the features that i want but that problem, all the other roms let me feeling that they can be better.
So ATM im feeling a bit dissapointed with that feature and thinking over switching to non-CAF roms (the other option is introducing me over rom compiling and make my own Temasek CM13 with blackjack and hookers )
SO, TL;DR
Im trying to categorize the most featured PIE roms from better performance from worst, i've only tested CAF so my non-CAF list is almost empty, do u recommend me anything to start compiling my own roms with my own cherrypicked features? i only want to get features from one rom and put it in the best base i can get, its acceptable for only a "power user" like me or do i need something like years of experience compiling things? ive never ever compile a single thing knowing that im compiling anything xD)
CAF:
Temasek CM13

almost zero bugs trying hard to concentrate on performance with out compromising battery
my opinion: keep the rom updated with the latest builds of miui
as u hav added too many languages it will increase the size of the rom. poll it for the language required for the users
i have heard redmi note 4 has a slow motion camera .. so is it possible to port it ?
ram optimizing is must
instead of changing the default font y not including the font changing feature from china dev rom ?
include this multiwindow feature : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...trick-add-multiwindow-feature-miui-8-t3568148
(as i didnt tried this rom im giving suggestions blindly so u can bear with me )

Thanks for your valuable replay. .. due. To hardware limitation. We cant get slow motion video recording in your device. ... And my point is that to provide a rom with useful features. The. Point you mentioned abouve is a x posed module. If i install xposed prebuilt it will affect the. Over all stability. Becouse our device is. Having. aSystem less root. It will mess up the. Installation script to.. am stress testing the. Moded firmware.. in. Many ways.. to ensure its. Stability... Will try. My best to provide you a best. Daily driver with. Zero bugs

One thing ypu mentioned here about the font will try to update it on the 2nd build thanks for the. Suggestions
If possible Just need the maximum performance dude. I tried octos rom tweaked with kernel auditor to provide max performance. Which is far better scores than stock giving 45k(octos) vs 40k(stock).
Though secondary or optional Substratum/layers & DT2W feature.
i hardly belive that those synthetic bunch marks can only be written on papers
reallife perfomance is entirely diffrent from those in papers.. we may get 50k score but real life perfomance of miui (38-40k) may far far far better than 50 k

Everything is great I just needs updates
Can you please make it like Epic rom which has inbuld options in settings and has a great ram management
1) Make sure there is no problem signing to mi account.
2) Latest update could be better.
3) Please include this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342
4) Having multi window could be better.
5) If possible include option to change network band.
6) Latest Gapps.
7) wallpapers from Windows 10.

When will it be uploaded?
any exfat support?
Waiting for it!!!!!
Will just request two feature apart from all these what you are compiling:
a) Don't include viper arise or viper atmos, as it then crashes the miui default audio and headphones settings, which is much better than both of these IMO, instead just let it be default and give link for dolby atmos as it works perfectly fine with miui default equaliser.
b) Can you please include chinese rom package installer, not the google package installer as found in global rom, as chinese one is more beautifully themed, also like globe rom, can you please add Xylon animations in your rom?
Hope you will consider both these request of mine.
when u give the new build .. bro waitting lots
I think dev just uploading rom for days

[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:
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.
Enjoy!

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

But is it easy to use the profile?
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
Original post updated with my first impressions on AOSIP.
I'll follow your first post
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

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.
