Noob to this.
So I let me try to understand this:
When I flash a ROM, for some reason, everything pretty much works as intended aside from the CAMERA?
Something about camera blobs?
Why isn't the camera being copied from the stock (official / factory) ROM?
Thanks!

Maybe you can help us understand more by giving us more information like:what's the error with camera? which rom?

I am running official LineageOS.
First, camera will force-close if I use HDR.
Second, the quality seems to be pretty lacking compared to what I remembered from the old days of using the 1 (see here also: http://bit.ly/2AhBe5T)
Third, as I try to read and learn, I came across this "camera blobs" thingy/issue. What is that? Is this because the OEM won't release camera source code? So devs have to build their own (which is not as good)? Or am I way off?
Thanks again!
yeah you're right they're usually closed source but the opos one is made by cm so linage is using the exact same. The color os blobs is what the Chinese version used which is far more superior also sultan has a modified oxygen os one. My personal favourite is the color os one by miles because the front camera on snapchat isnt soft/smudged looking. I cant use Anything with the linageos/cm blobs/hal, its such a downfall for me personally.

Good explenation.
Let me ask: is it not possible to get the official OxygenOS camera on my LineageOS 14.1 ROM?
PS - why do the OEM not allow this? Why do they close the source code? To keep their intellectual property since they developed it)?
Also pinging the helpful @Mr.Ak

They can't release it due to copy rights i think? I'm not sure, and theres 3 oxygen os drivers. The first one which was open sourced (the one sultan uses), the 2nd which is pretty much ignored and the 3rd from the oneplus X port (nearly everyone prefers this one).
I dont like the port one due to lack of 4k in recording, the laggy view frame and i cant notice any quality difference between that and the color os one.
And for your question, there is a way after flashing things but personally i wouldnt do it due to linage not being coded for it.
My honest and best solution is to flash AEX sultanized : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195923064
It's a very well built rom, fluid and everything works great and was my daily rom until i switched phones. Its very well rounded, not exactly the best at EVERYTHING, but its the best well rounded rom.
But if you want color os then go with ommi but i dont rate that rom personally, quite sluggish and plain, doesnt offer much except from the camera.
And if you wanna try the oxygen driver from the opx port then XOS unofficial will be your best bet, ill give it to them that rom has by far the best battery by miles BUT the performance is a major hit.
I'd suggest sultans rom too but AEX is more fluid and offers much more features (if you're into it, i wasnt but i did find some useful stuff)

price was VERY similar +i get 12 months proper warranty + i get to examine the phone before buying, burn in was a big concern for me so this was a huge benefit.
And honestly its such an upgrade in every single aspect except from the speaker (single)
Youtube videos dont do it justice, its unbelievably good
Confirmed by Nokia at Nokia 7.1 Plus reveal at London. Can't wait !

Someone who likes to tinker with his phone this phone is abit useless to me considering there are no custom ROMs existing. Not only that there are still quite options that the current version is missing such as the ability to be able to actually have stuff on Glance. I'd rather have Ambient Display. Pie in general is useless but in this phones case I'm hoping it brings the changes I need

Yeah that is certainly true what you say, ambient display been able to function in a custom ROM is quite useful indeed. I hope it too, to have custom ROMs available to flash and use. It would be awesome.
My point was just about there is not real noticeable change from pie over Oreo.

Well if 8.1 was perfect then they wouldn't have needed to make 9.0
But then 9.1 will likely be out a bit after 9.0 so 9.0 is already assumed to be imperfect (but then nothing ever is truely perfect is it ).
The assumption is that each update builds and improves on the previous one. So if there is something new that the teams of people who develop android have built and I can get it for free then why not have it?
But I do get what your saying, it's not like there's anything wrong with 8.1 on our device at the moment.
It's hardly a big deal If we get it in 30 minutes or 30 days... we're still getting it :laugh:

With the Changes of Pie they could just say 8.2.
But that wouldn't sell "that well".
They are lifting the major version insanely quick for very little features...
Back with Android 4, they did just add .1, but 1.
Damn annoying of you ask me.

Hello,
I'm new to the Oneplus 7 Pro (not new to rooting) and I was looking for the best AOSP ROM. Would like to know people's opinion which is the best one with no (huge) buggs.
Personally I prefer Havoc OS. I've tried PA quartz 2 and PE ROM but the automatic brightness didn't seem to work for me properly on either of those. Not sure if it was the ROM itself or something I had done incorrectly
New PA Treskmod is out and incredibly stable and has had the best battery on any ROM I've tried. I've used most AOSP and Omni ROMs and have to say this has by far been the best in terms of smoothness and battery. Paired with Neutrino kernel, it's been quite nice. Search in Telegram if interested in viewing the discussion thread for it.
Only 3 builds deep thus far, but haven't encountered any bugs or issues.

It's good to know you can run it. I'm surprised it is so fluid. In my experience even Pixel 3a is a bit slow on the latest Pixel UI.
I honestly think Samsung's UI, or Pixel's Android 11 UI is better than Pixel Android 12/12L/13 UI (especially the quick action and lock screen layout), so I wouldn't try this.

if those work for every A53, great. if not, it would take maybe 24 hours for the others to be uploaded if tickets were created for either.

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

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!
