Hello Mates,
i flash since many year custom roms to my androind phones. Now i have a Oneplus 6 and it is o fast and have a good battery life.
Why should i flash a custom Rom to my Oneplus 6? I would like to know your opinion….
Thank you in Advance

For the same reason as on different devices. Even though OOS is probably one of the best Android flavours, there are many more UI/Performance/Battery tweaks on Havoc for example, which is probably the best custom ROM right now. If you don't want always-on-display, advanced UI tweaking, or you don't need extra features like Smart Pixels, different kind of navbars and recents layouts, you should probably stay with OOS.
They way we interact with our phone is kind of just personal preference. Different ROMs have different layouts/options. I like how when you go to recent apps with OmniTreskmod it also displays recent apps that you can quick launch.

That has nothing to do with omni treskmod though. It can be found on almost all custom roms, including Havoc OS.

My point is that we use custom ROMs to interact with our phone in different ways, and that the ROM we choose is personal preference.
With that said I've tried 4 different ROMs, Havoc included, and I didn't experience the recent/home/appdrawer interaction like treskmod uses. It's the only ROM i love to use the android pill navigation gesture with.

I get what you are trying to say, but could you show me what exactly you meant by recents app drawer, I just don't know what you mean by this at this point.

Pixel Experience is awesome too, regarding pill navigation !
It's my favourite, just because it's a different experience, and, to answer the OP, this is why you flash ROMs AOSP ROMs can be quite similar to one another, this one stands up from the crowd in my eyes, and it's still balzingly fast, with battery backup similar to OOS, and Pixel 3 features, love it.
In the end, i fully agree : You flash ROMs based on personal taste, to get the experience you want from your device. Be it having tons of options, performance, or something different.
Can't wait for Paranoid Android though ... Last time i used it, they were inventing Heads-Up notifications, floating windows, and Card Style recents, before Google even thought of it ... And i miss Halo, this was so ahead of it's time, just like Pie Gestures

@Gionikva is right haha, this is not specific to Treskmod, it's related to the fact it has Pixel Launcher installed as the main launcher
Pixel Experience is the same, LineageOS can be too, any ROM in fact !
But I'll agree this is awesome, and above all it's how these gestures are supposed to be used.

I use to think the same way. After flashing AOSiP I regretted not flashing a custom ROM earlier.
There is far more customizations that can be done to your phone in terms of theming and functionality. For example I can now finally long press my volume key to play the next track for a song.
Overall look and feel of the phone software is much more sleek. Animations are much smoother and it feels very polished as if I'm using a pixel. Latency appears to be great as well but I'm not the best at calculating such.
Battery life use to be bad on custom ROMs but now they're all just as good as OOS if not better. In my case it was better. I use to sometimes be at 75% left with only one hour SoT. Now I can be at almost 2 hours at that point. Same kernel on both.
Overall for me personally it completely enhanced every little thing about the phone. It's no different than what it was back in the day when it comes to reasons. Although OOS is pretty dark good as it is, not to knock it down from this post.

I've tried Pixel experience ROM and it didn't behave this way. I've also tried the xXxNoLimits ROM with Pixel Launcher enabled by default, and it also didn't have this. They both had their "recent menu" identical to stock OOS. Do I have to enable some setting? I would like to use this feature on other ROMs!

Strange, Pixel Experience behaves like, well, a Pixel phone ! It always had and still has the drawer integrated into the recents screen.
About xXx, it's normal. The launcher needs to also be the recents provider for the system, so either it's the system main launcher, or you can use a Magisk module to change this.

I use AOSiP also known as Android Illusion Project. It's not the most feature rich but it's very fluid and I see no reason to jump off of it for now.

Ok, thank you for your answer
When I bought the phone, I was very happy with it, because stock OOS is smooth and stable. So I just flashed magisk. After a few months I missed the features which custom rom brings, but I also wanted good camera and battery life. That's why I tried almost all ROMs and Ports for the OP6 and now I'm back to treskmod. This is definitely the best ROM in my eyes. It's very stable and smooth and battery friendly. It has the costumizations I wanted and looks like Stock Pixel. There is one update per week and that's cool. I'm a flashaholic and need at least one update in week, lol ^^

hello guys...
Just wanted to know why nexus 5 doesn't have special features such as camera effects, special effects for home screen or so on..
That's because Nexus line of devices come with pure vanilla android!
If you want those effects, there are tons of apps available on the playstore
You do realise what Vanilla means right?

As stated its because we have pure "vanilla" android. It's a bit boring to some but its exciting for those that want speed and love to hack/modify.
Think of it this way. The Nexus 5 is like a Lamborghini (uncomfortable to drive, but very fast), phones like the G2 are like a Mercedes still pretty fast (not as fast as the Lambo) but its more luxurious and packed with features.
The main feature exclusive to the Nexus 5 is timely updates straight from Google.

Yeah http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_software
Anyway the reason is of course that the software is built from aosp with Google addons, while this is also the case for any other device, except those have their respective customisations on top of aosp and Google addons.
So nexus 5 has plenty of special features, they are just not exclusive, as Google is about software and makes money from all android devices, and allows all OEMS to use these features, while the OEMS want to keep their features exclusive in order to attract customers to their devices.
So every time Google adds new features, its also rolled out to all other android devices.

Welcome to the forum!
The features you mentioned are really easy to add if you are rooted. BEFORE you root, however, I strongly suggest that you read everything you can about the phone to become familiar with its native functionality (e.g., the sticky threads at the top of this forum) as well as the N5 Apps and Themes forum to get an idea of how you can mod (Browsing the Play Store and trying out apps is also a lot of fun). ONLY after you have read thoroughly everything mentioned above, you can decide if you'd like to root (which I recommend, because many great apps and mods require root) and, perhaps, try flashing some custom roms and kernels.
I'm familiar with Google play and have installed many apps from there, but I've not owned another Android phone. So I don't know what capabilities other high end phones have that are missing on the N5.
What are some of the better customizations some high end phones have that I could add to the N5 using which apps? I am rooted but would prefer to remain with stock rom 4.4.2 rather than flash a new rom.
Thanks.
Actually, we're still slightly modified from vanilla aosp. We have Google dialer lookup and photosphere.
Nexus 5 is developers phone and built on a budget

Yeah that's right. AOSP also has Browser by default (not Chrome) and many other things...

Since you are rooted, I would suggest perhaps looking into xposed framework and the gravity box module, since it's essentially made for phones this close to stock android. You can enable a ton of useful features from there, all on the stock ROM. There are also kernels you can flash to attain certain features, such as the knock on screen to activate thingy that comes with the LG G2. There aren't really a tone of features that other phones have that the N5 doesn't, The base functions are essentially the same, they just present a ton of different ways to go about it. With gravity box, for example, you can make it so when you tap on the status bar the phone goes to sleep. You can really do anything you want as far as customization, but all smartphones essentially do the same thing ie:internet, phone calls, camera, bt, music etc. Since you went ahead and rooted, research custom recoveries and start going to town exploring options. There are a ton for a phone such as this, it's just a matter of sifting through all the option until you find exactly what you want. You can google the highlights that other OEMs provide and find a close-as-possible match for that feature, whether it be a module, rom or kernel. There are A TON of options, so don't get overwhelmed and have fun brother! Modding a Nexus is, in my opinion, more about the journey of exploring the possibilities rather than searching for the perfect set up. Welcome to the best phone out right now and if there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to PM me.
Thanks for replying. Because I've never used one of the other phones I just didn't know what I was "giving up" by going with Nexus.
I've been a user of Xposed Framework, Xgravity, Xprivacy, and Boot manager for some time and love them. Also greenify, titanium backup, Nova prime, and TWRP. I'm delighted with the phone but had no previous experience to compare it with which is why I asked the question.
For instance I've heard some users rave about their MotoX interface but I don't know what made it so special. Do you know?
(Still scared to go into kernels and different roms because everything is working so well and I don't want to mess things up).

The 2 biggest aspects, as far as I understand, to what makes the Moto X so unique is the "always listening" feature, which we have with ok Google and the active display lockscreen, which shows messages and content from the lockscreen using a black background. Since it is AMOLED, that uses less battery than actually turning on the phone to look at the message. There are a couple app that can perform this function for any phone (AcDisplay and Dynamic Notifications.) While they are certainly cool, doesn't do us much good battery-savingwise because we don't have AMOLED screens. Moto X also uses its core in some way that is supposed to be more efficient...but I honesty haven't looked into it much : ) I completely understand about be wary with kernels and ROMs! I've been flashing assorted mods for a couple of years, but it took me some time to commit myself to doing it and I read and read and read because I didn't wanna jack anything up. Inevitably I did, but it was a learning experience. I completely understand about the stock ROM as well. I have tried a few ROMs and kernels on this phone and decided that I was perfectly happy with stock. I'm not even rooted anymore and I locked my bootloader back (shameful, I know. and though this kind of contradicts what I was saying about experimenting, stock is where I am the most satisfied...I've tried plenty of other ROMs, but I've found I crave true stability) This phone is a beast as is and the only reason I would ever root is just for gravity box, but I'm content for now. There are some bugs with stock, but Google is working on them and there should be an update in the near future.
Thank you.

@parra
You should've bought another device.
There are sounds and animations by default in cyanogenmod too, as on any other smartphone.
Latest cyanogenmod 14.1 (lineageos) doesn't even have support for theming yet.
That's everyone's issue with emui. Use these theme in this thread. Download and change .Zip to .Get then put them in local > theme
Open themes app and apply
Has no effect on location of buttons and layout
The sounds and animations are possible to be disable in every ROM! And they come active by default in every ROM!
So that's a "no-question"
The performance of the device, by default, is very good and you shouldn't have complains on that, specially if you come from an older device.
The battery is also pretty good, normally it lasts me a full day with some heavy use (not a lot of gaming, but there is no phone in the market that lasts long playing games!)
Besides the nice battery, the fast charge is great and very usefull!
But indeed, if you like to try and change ROM's, you bought the wrong device!
wait for emui5, you will love it..

Here is what I have to like about EMUI. While it is customized over stock android, it is also optimized very nicely to work with the Kirin processors and not to mention the dual-lens camera. From my experience, it is better than TouchWiz as TouchWiz gets slow as usage increases while EMUI is fantastic so far for me.
The sounds and personalization is in every stock ROM. If you wanted clean android, then you may have to pick Pixel but then again, Google themselves have said they are using a customized version of android in Pixel unlike Nexus. Again, that is a good thing as that helps OEMs (even Google) to optimize for the device.

Three thing I don't like about EMUI 4 is the notification shade, non sensical setting menu and no app drawer.
Luckyly I just got EMUI 5. It has nougat style notification, app drawer option and better setting menu. Last one still bugs me a little as a few setting still hidden under pile of menu.

EMUI 5, saved the day, it a realy nice android phone without the need for unlocking and rooting just to be able to use it. ill stick with the EMUI5 for now and use a samsung s5 and virtual machines in vs to run code. nice to have a phone thats actually a phone for a time and not a android andset thar sometimes can be used for voicecalls like it usualy endsup when tje modding goes overboard.
Im on tresk now but whats better whats the difference?
Difference is you can choose what gapps you want installed with Omni. tresk has gapps already and so on.. also you could choose not to use gapps at all and go micro g.
Another thing is Omni has support on XDA.

You get better performance than omni with tresk, you get some pixel UI and experience. Nearly you get omni with some added features and modifications. The Google apps included in Tresk is so minimal, and it's always updated. There is no point in gapps.
You can also use Omni recents with Omni, not available with Tresk. Red flare Kernel (tresk) also have some RZ commits (although you could easily flash red flare to Omni if you want so, I'm using Smurf though, which work best for my use). In any case, both ROMs work really good. I prefer Omni at this point, but both are stabler than OOS
I've tried them both and both are great alternatives to stock. My only issue has been battery life, nothing I've tried comes close to stock battery standby. The performance tho I feel is better so if you are willing to trade standby battery time for performance, either could be a good alternative. With that said, battery life can often be subjective so it might be in your best interest to try them each a few days and see what works for your particular set up.

I returned to the Pixel line after several years with OnePlus, wasnt happy with the 9 pro at all. I know ROM development isn't as big as use to be to be across the board for all android devices but I remember running some sweet roms that had awesome features on my OG pixel.
How was the ROM development for those who came from the pixel 6 / 6 pro?
Sadly it's no longer what it used to be like.
6 series had 3 or 4 custom ROM and two were just secure version of aosp so no customizable

Yeah I figured that was the current trend. Hopefully we get one or two good ones to mess around with
I'm really pleased with the magisk module AOSP Mods, along with Repainter and Project Themer.
These enable many mods & themes, making stock feel like a custom rom in that sense, though without any of the potential bugs. Certainly keeping me happy until a custom rom option becomes available, but having a stable stock rom with the tweaks I'm used to is a nice setup.
Look at all the development for the Pixel 6 Pro (obviously, the Pixel 7 Pro just came out, so only one development thread so far).
+1 AOSP Mods
Pixels don't really get a lot of ROMs because there's not as much of a need. Pixels don't have a bunch of bloatware that people want to get rid of and the majority of custom ROMs for other devices are already pretend Pixels anyway using Pixel style launchers and spoofing Pixels to get their features like Call Screen besides the AOSP variants like Lineage or the privacy/security AOSP builds like Graphene and Calyx.

I returned to the Pixel line after several years with OnePlus, wasnt happy with the 9 pro at all. I know ROM development isn't as big as use to be to be across the board for all android devices but I remember running some sweet roms that had awesome features on my OG pixel.
How was the ROM development for those who came from the pixel 6 / 6 pro?

Development takes time and for Pixel phones that can be a while because they are the first to introduce features and standards that Google is rolling out for Android. The methods and procedures have to be updated and that adds on to the time.
The Pixel 1 was absolutely barren in the beginning, it had many underlying changes to how Android works, the ROMs you remember were all coming out towards the middle and end of the phone's life. It didn't get LineageOS official until 16 almost released, it took unofficial ports of 14 and 15 to work out the problems.
Same thing is happening again with the Pixel 6, and again with the Pixel 7. The scene was lucky that between the Pixel 3-5 there weren't that many large changes and development was rapid. Things are finally starting to pick back up for the Pixel 6 after Android 13 released, but it's still a work in progress. The Pixel 7 isn't that large of a step past the 6, however it's still going to take time to bring things over, probably a few by the end of the year and most others within 6 months.

I'm really pleased with the magisk module AOSP Mods, along with Repainter and Project Themer.
These enable many mods & themes, making stock feel like a custom rom in that sense, though without any of the potential bugs. Certainly keeping me happy until a custom rom option becomes available, but having a stable stock rom with the tweaks I'm used to is a nice setup.

I'm also curious about these, I'll definitely look them up. Are all three mods magisk modules?

Just search on Google for the following tweaks/mods app:
AOSP Mods github
Search Play Store for the following theme apps:
Project Themer
Repainter

Got it thanks. loving AOSP mods.
Because of how similar the 7 is to the 6, its actually off to a much faster start. It took a while for anything to come available for the 6, and in fact, I was the first to share a pure AOSP build for the 6pro. It took several weeks before GrapheneOS was available for the 6. It took less than ONE week for GrapheneOS to have first builds available for the 7 (go get it!).

If you use Pixel Launcher, you can look over at TeamFiles on Telegram. There's one module that allows you to select what themed icons you want to use as well. You can view some different styles below, the TeamFiles variant is close to Google's version and has 1000+ themed icons.

Can anyone confirm if PixelLauncherMods by KieronQuinn works on the P7 series? https://github.com/KieronQuinn/PixelLauncherMods
Thanks.

I am using it, but only to change the icons and it is working for that. Can't speak to the other features/modules in it.

I don't see why it wouldn't be the same as the Pixel 4 XL Android 13 experience, but yeah. Changing the icons worked fine, I didn't try replacing my Google Search widget, but I know changing the tint of the recents background didn't work either. If it does work, then make sure to turn off 'window-level blur' in developer settings otherwise your live preview of your current app would just be a blurry mess, lol.
Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?
One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.
it does on pixel phones, its just placebo
Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

Do you even have pixel features like the music search or lens/select text and images in recents?

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong
Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.
What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

Call screening works if you install Google Phone app. Works flawlessly.

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?
Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?
Guys help
installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).
Any suggestions?

Thank you. It's been a long time. I've been on stock for a long time thought I would pull the trigger. But now I'm having trouble with Platform Tools. Hey I do have a question I know this is off topic but what version of platform tools do I need to use?
