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.
Hello guys,
Here is a simple video to show benchmark scores in Antutu between four devices:
- Nexus 7 2013: CleanROM 3.5 (Kitkat 4.4.4), ElementalX kernel
- Moto G Gpe: Stock rooted 4.4.2 Google play edition, stock kernel
- Xperia S: Stock 4.1.2, stock kernel
- Nexus 5: Stock 4.4.3, stock kernel

Thanks, right back atcha!! I think I'm the first S5 to break 42K, if I combined all of my best individual catagory scores, I would break 44K.. Got some work to do, got a bunch of tweaks lined up that I haven't tested yet, I think I'm gonna wait for some others to catch up.. or until I get bored again!!

The settings that I use on my overclock (OC) are borderline stupid dangerous. And the settings I use to bench are straight up dangerous. For this reason, I will not be sharing them.
HOWEVER, You can find my non-overclocked faux settings here:
https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13tu3aq0krxchnnv234jdkbrnzrvlpcq
These settings scored 38256, no OC, AEL Kernel controlled by fauxclock.
Note: What we are doing here can result in you frying your snartphone- not worth it just to get a ranking.
For me, I just can't help but to experiment and push my device to it's limits. HOWEVER, my benchmark settings differ from my daily use settings, slightly (for stability) because I love my S5 and would possibly cry if we were to have to part!!
I'm going to share some of my best benching tips (no "tricks" just my observations)
1. Make sure that your Kernel control app has a boot delay of at least 20 seconds. (Mine is at 30 seconds, remember-patience is a vitrue!!)
2. Completely dim your screen, put your phone into airplane mode, disable any motion gestures.
3. Turn phone off for 5 min.
4. Boot your phone, but don't touch it, just let the lockscreen time out, wait 2 minutes, unlock the phone and let it sit for another minute.
5. Do not flip screens or pull the notification bar (we want to NOT trigger any background processes, so turn off any motion gestures- because they are using the CPU while monitoring your sensors and be sure to leave your default homescreen free of widgets).
6. Open Antutu, wait about 30 sec..
7. Click Test Again then uncheck Optimize Memory (your ROM should already have optimized memory and I assure you thay Antutu doesn't know your device better than the OEM or Custom ROM devs) Now, wait about a minute and a half..
8. Click TEST then don't touch/move your phone until it's done..
More Notes:
Make sure that you only ever change one parameter at a time and be sure to run a CPU Monitor when you do, to see the affects of each change..
Reboot inbetween every bench and turn your screen brightness to MIN before you reboot to bench..
Also, I recommend to try running a CPU Monitor once or twice while you run a bench in antutu so you can get an idea of how long it takes for antutu's CPU use to chill out, (same can be done after boot to find out what your device likes, since I've never had any samsung bloat- as I rooted and flashed custom ROMS and Kernels the first day I got my S5- I literally have no experience with Stock)..
Also, running a CPU Monitor when you are getting low benches will help you see if it's being thermal throttled during a bench (throttling has caused me to score as low as 32K) and it will give you the best idea of what may be going wrong and where.
I actually know very little about Kernels, I am just patient, never give up and trial and error sweetspots until I get what I want..
Extra Note: Sweetspots vary from each individual device, so ya just gotta keep at it!!
P.S. These tips should work/help with any benching app.

Thank you for sharing your configuration !
My Nexus 7 2013 configuration:
- ElementalX Kernel (1,7GHz CPU, 490MHz GPU and a small undervolt --> Perferct for daily use)
- Rom CleanROM (just with Forced GPU 2D rendering in Developer Options)
Score between 26k and 27k
EliteKernel M9 150829 (F2.10)
Run cool without hassle.
Tested on international HTC One M9 only.
This experimental kernel is a tweaked version of ElementalX by flar2, all credits for the base kernel go to him, I also recommend you buy his kernel settings app to show appreciation.
EliteKernel aims to:
- optimize performance on lower frequencies
- reduce frequencies / cores optimally for daily usage and medium weight games
- decrease heat under sustained heavy load
- optimize CPU, memory, I/O and native performance
- better battery life
Be aware that I made this kernel primarily for myself, I may go to extremes to achieve my goals and that might cause issues with some devices. I guarantee no support whatsoever and any modifications you make to your device are solely your responsibility.
Usage:
1) make backup in recovery
2) copy .zip to phone
3) flash in recovery
Uninstallation:
- Restore a backup (system + boot should be enough)
- Or reflash your ROM, then any mods you use and flash different kernel on top of it
NOTE: This kernel is experimental, it is only 100% tested on latest compatible ARHD. It is essential that you backup your ROM first, just in case.
Do NOT use Antutu benchmark, it wreaks havoc on the CPU settings until you restart the phone!
Many thanks to flar2 and all the great devs of various parts and modules that made this possible.

Amma test it right now but am on viper 2.3.1 with latest 2.7..... Firmware would it work ?
From what I read in ElementalX thread, it would boot in 2.7, with some issues like camera not working. Personally I would stay on stock kernel until the new source and next time keep old firmware until there's full kernel support, it's rarely worth it otherwise.
Is it work with 2.x firmware (android 5.1)?

Same here ...
Heh I don't know about *ice* cold, but it takes a lot longer in Hearthstone to reach high 30's. Used to be at 43°C+ in a blink of an eye.
Someone should confirm, but it seems like the core affinity works (I hope) and power saving makes very little difference in games. Basically it should prefer to clock up the 2 big cores on high load and keep little cores at 768MHz and lower. Looks like the little cores heat up considerably more at frequencies over 960MHz. I was experimenting with a 2:2 core setup but it was actually worse due to the need for higher average freq.

what about a 6 core setup? 4 and 2. 4 at 1.2GHz and 2 at 1.8GHZ?
When the little cores are clocked that high, they can run as hot as the big ones, with far less performance. Performance wise extra core makes no difference. But don't take my word for it and try for yourself. Everything you need is in /elitekernel folder in the delayed script. Copy over the lines you want to change to /data/local/userinit.sh the more people experiment the better
What kind of battery stats are those of you with 2.7 and this kernel getting?
New version
EliteKernel M9 (5.0.x) 150629 is released
Changes:
- synced the base with EX 1.02 (still no gestures, will get to that later)
- minor memory tweaks
- more core affinity tweaks
- activated KMS by default in conservative mode
Enjoy
5.1 version
Hi and many thanks for the effort.
Do you have any ETA for the 5.1 version? Looks like it´s running smooth, but just to know before stepping in. I´m currently on ARHD 10.0 and complaining about heating issues.
BTW, is this kernel related to Buckmarble´s Elite for M8? Best one I´ve ever used.
Nope this is related to EliteMod for DesireZ and EliteKernel for One X+. Pretty much the same idea, X+ was overheating like a **** before I got my hands on it
You only need so much power in real life scenarios, but try playing your super-smooth games when you can barely hold the phone with your sweaty hands. My goal is to fix that without excessive real-life performance drop. The sweet spot is keeping the phone below 40°C. Also keeping the temperatures low prevents artificial throttling, which has much worse impact than lower but steady performance.
The 5.1 version will come out shortly after HTC releases the source, it is out of our hands now. I'm pretty sure flar2 is sitting at his desk looking at htcdev.com and pressing F5 every minute
For future reference it is a good idea not to upgrade firmware/ROM until there's a kernel source to support it.

Every base we have to wait for htc to release source since 5.1 is leaked/beta have to wait for official ota then maybe up to a month after that source will come..
Really like this kernel. From its idea to its execution. Solid work. Though I have one problem: The Camera doesn't work.
Htc One M9, running LeeDroid 7.6.1 firmware version 1.40. Flashed LeeDroid v3.0 kernel and camera works fine. Is this a kernel specific problem or did something simply get screwed up during flashing?
I'm not aware of any problem with the camera unless you are on the latest 2.7 firmware + 5.1 ROM. Does pure ElementalX work?

ElementalX works as does the LeeDroid v3.0 Kernel. I'm currently running 1.40 Firmware on a 5.0.2 based ROM. I went back and flashed ElementalX, the camera worked perfectly. Then I flashed this kernel and the camera launched but lagged immensely. I restarted the camera app and then it completely stopped working. :/
UPDATE 10:12PM EST: If I bump the maximum CPU frequency up from 960mhz to 1555mhz, the lag while using the camera is largely diminished (though, not gone). In Google Messenger, attempting to attach a photo is also extremely laggy. The gallery in the screenshot below lags like a mofo when scrolling. This lag is not evident on other Kernels.

Oh, I see what you're describing, I didn't use HTC camera app in ages so didn't realize the image preview lags like that. Google camera app has no such problem though, that's ridiculous to require this much power just to shoot stills .
It's not as bad for me as you describe, I get occasional 1-1.5 second lag in the preview, suppose it would be much worse in powersaving.
This explains why on stock ROM, using the camera app force disables power saving (yes HTC, I noticed)... it's easier than to fix their code
Honestly I am not sure what to do about this, there's currently no way to do exceptions like that. It would require an app that would assign CPU profiles to other apps, specific to M9. I will experiment with this more when I have some time, we need to determine the least possible amount of power/cores required to run it smoothly.
AD: Decreasing image resolution to medium in camera can make most of the lag go away, still it's not quite gone.
Hi to all die hard S4 users,
The S4 is a phone with great performance but after testing latest lollypop I9505ZHUHOK2 on the S4 i come to the conclusion that lollypop will never run as smooth as kitkat XXUGNK4 and have the same battery use, i still read that many users have the same experience as i have and are also saying goodbye to lollypop, the reason i open this thread is that lots of good kitkat mods and info is very cluterd around and i would like to exchange info to let the S4 running at his best with Kitkat, i am very close in doing that but maybe i missed some good tweaks or mods that gets the most out of the S4, hence i will post my config and mods and running rom hoping other users do the same so we can all use the S4 at his best.
Rom : Goldfinger Kitkat V9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/moving-please-post-t2864816
Kernel : AELKernel v6 5B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711416
Tweaks : Skynet http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796
Xposed and wanam Well known so no need for link
I have installed every kitkat rom available but always returned to Goldfinger rom because of its stabillity and S5 layout, i have undressed the rom to bare minimum, no google and no samsung apps or services other then samsung health app, for email i use exchange push and samsung browser for internet browsing and i have a total of 41 apps installed.
I am trying to keep all at minimum what i need so no apps to control the kernel settings or other tweaks as they use resources and memory, i have modified Skynet mod to control all CPU and GPU settings and S4 related kernel and system tweaks and mitigate just to one script and that works flawlessly.
Tweaking the system to it best (i think) with antutu benchmark score of 31250 and a great battery life of 6+ hours of movie watching and 5+ hours of normal use with wifi on or with LTE on, this is done by fine tweaking system without restricting the CPU (162 - 1890 MHZ) or GPU (128 - 450) other than under volt CPU, GPU and under clocking the CPU.
This log tweak list comes from the script when it is executed so you see quick overview of setting, i can’t put it up the package for download but i can put up the file you need to replace after installation of skynet.
Download and install skynet from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796 and replace after installation the init.d script file skynet2 from this post and remove all scripts except control, skynet2 and supersudeamon script.
Tweaks and settings are done on the mentioned kernel and rom above, use it at your own risk.

I am not at all responsible for inventing or creating these tweaks i just collected them and spend lots of time changing, testing it and implementing it on the S4, all credits goes to k1ks for his skynet project wich makes your phone fly on less fuel and makes it fast and smooth as butter.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

twrp backup system, put this file on your sd card twrp backup folder and restore system, clear cache and dalvik cache and clear data, wait for first boot and let it settle for 30 seconds then reboot to execute the scripts and your good to go. when you clear cache someday you need to reboot after apps are optimized or else init.d scripts will not be executed they will after second boot. (This happens only when doing so, normal boots or reboots are fine.)

I'll give a try tonight. I read about that kk is better than lollipop but i didn't find all these settings. You got 6h SOT?
Then is worth trying your settings! Thanks a lot!

As you can see from the attached screen shot 50% battery use and almost 4 hours screen on in 11 hours of use, this means at least 6 hours depending on what your doing with your phone like browsing and or social or what ever, i guess when gaming you will get 5 hours gaming time but i dont game other then backgammon or chess and you will have 8 hours of movie watching. (my screen backlight i have set to -1 )
I have also migitate system software so i use bare rom without google and samsung and all other for me useless services.
If anybody like to have it, i can make a TWRP system backup file available which you can restore on your phone, i use new modem version XXUHOF2 which is also better in battery use then kitkat version of the rom build i use.
Cheers

It would be nice to have a backup. Also can you point me to gnk4 modem and bootloader? I have only gnk2.
Thanks!
Thank for sharing.
I have a 9505 since september, and battery's life is very horrible on this device...., but your right kitkat is a way better for battery (5 hours SOT for me:100% to 20%). I talk about CM11 between CM12, because i hate TW (personnal feeling). Did you ever try Cm13, there are a lot improvements specially for battery and speed....
But i check your "build.prop" and i never tried this settings: IPV4Tcp mem, rem, wem,...; net core max...; keepalive intvl, etc, .. in /proc/sys/net ( i always tweak manually, no offense). Did them improve your speed bandwitch, and battery when you stream (my principal use)
Thank in advance.

Hi,
Yes i tried all CM versions but i dont like cm as you dislike tw your right about tcp settings every connection is different but in general its good, one setting is good for internet download and so on and other setting is good for ntfs network browsing what i do a lot, the settings i use are good performance between those two i use.
If you have settings you are using and they are top performing your welcome to share.
Cheers

My tweaks are not so complete like yours and i have to test, first: "net.tcp.buffersize" and "/proc/sys/net/"
But my "best" tweak was to live without the Service Google Play. A MUST :good:

great let me know if it works for you, i agree on removing google play, it save you a lot of battery and privacy, that was the reason i stripped the rom down to bare metal with privacy and battery savings (and fun fiddeling on the rom to gain performance).

Strange, did you had a clean data install? What you can try is to install a fresh install of a kernel.

I managed to install the rom flashing alucard kernel. The rom however has lag when opening apps, also from 100% to 80% dropped using 44 min SOT. This rate I have on stock lollipop firmware, so i didnt see any major changes.

With standard install of the rom you have at least 4 hours sot (without tweaks) so there must be something what isn't correct, if your phone runs only on alucard maybe there are other files from previous kernel or something left on your phone that drains your battery and you cannot boot with other kernel, look for cleaning script of kernel leftovers. Many kernels dev's uses different files what they install on your system.
I've tried this ROM (+AEL kernel + Skynet tweaks without Qosmio's ones) . I've just got my GS4 si I can't compare)
1) I don't have "LED notifications" menu. I think it's due to Goldfinger ROM.
2) If the battery is good when screen is off, I'm quite disappointed by this device when screen is on. One of best way to judge battery drain is this app (for me): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain
And look when screen is on (ok I was using GPS, but it's always like that): As soon as I use screen, -30% by hour.
Can you install this app (clean, no battery drain, no strange permissions, no ads) and report your finding ?
I'm afraid it's just the side effect of Amoled + 1920x1080.
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

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.

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.
