I've been thinking about trying out freedom OOS but I'd like to have a clear way of returning to stock and I haven't seen a good guide on it

Replacing the phone app has nothing to do with FreedomOS. The Google phone app which is what was discussed with Aroma in the same sentence. OpenGAPPS has an Aroma installer available, and within that is the Google Dialer.

I'm well aware of that, it's a side point to what's required to use custom apps like Google dialer. Is there a return to stock guide?

Sorry about that. I probably came across weird there. As far as a return to stock guide, do you want, A. to return to stock with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP with root / no root or B. completely stock with the stock OnePlus recovery, OOS 3.2.2 and locked bootloader? If you want choice A I think there's a guide somewhere in XDA and also the OnePlus forums. If you want choice B I wrote up a guide for it. Here's the link for choice B:
[GUIDE] How to Unroot your OnePlus 3 and go back completely to stock

I am also interested in using google phone app. Couldn't install it from google play. I have oxygen os Lite custom rom. I will give it a try for installing it from aroma gapps.

thanks for the link, I'd seen the full guide to unlock but hadn't seen one to go back to stock yet until you linked it here. I may do this when I have a bit of time.
unrelated, are you running just stock OOS w/ root or a specific rom? what are your thoughts on the ROMs available so far?

Right now currently I'm running stock OOS 3.2.2 with root and XPosed. This thing is a beast on the stock rom! The last couple of days were spent trying 3 different roms.
The official CM13 nightlies are pretty good and stable, but are subject to the standard nightly quirk of suddenly stopping working due to the fact that they're nightlies.
I also tried the official Resurrection Remix 5.7.2 "stable" rom. That was also pretty good but is based on the CM13 nightlies so it has the same quirks. If you try this make sure you read the OP first as there are multiple versions of this rom and it can get confusing pretty quick.
The other one I tried was the unofficial Dirty Unicorns 10.4. It worked fine except that it constantly had issues with Google sync. I tried adding, deleting and re-adding my account to no avail. It would only partially sync. That was a dealbreaker.
I tried FreedomOS 1.3.1 twice yesterday but the installer is messed up and doesn't install the apps you choose, otherwise it works. If you want that one I recommend watching the thread for an update before you go flash it.
Also forgot to mention on CM13 and Resurrection Remix there is a notification bug far worse than the OOS one. You can receive the first notification with sound, the rest don't sound off. It has been reported to the devs. All of the devs on these roms are cool and work hard to make them pretty bug free.
The rest of the roms on there I haven't looked at. Most of the rest of them are similar in features to the above ones. I was going to try Slim6 but it's in alpha and as far as I know still doesn't have DASH charge capabilities. Roms that are in Alpha are a big no no on my daily driver.
I hope I've been of some help!

thanks man, this is all pretty helpful. coming from the N5X I'd been mostly looking at freedom OS since i'd heard about the issues on other roms (mostly the photo quality stuff, but that notification issue would annoy me quite a bit) and the stock N5X android M has little customization.
That being said, in this case since OOS is great and customizeable as is I may just do the same as you. Most of the removed system apps on freedomOS don't have any effect being present, I don't mind not having layers, and i can make most of the remaining mods myself.
What xposed apps do you use if you don't mind me asking?

Don't mind at all. Here's what I have at the moment:
AdBlocker <-- blocks ads in free apps, works great and better than MinMinGuard!
FingerprintEnabler <-- Removes the Android 6.0.1 restriction on using a secondary unlock with every reboot, just lets me use the fingerprint all the time.
Hide VoLTE Icon <-- A beautiful mod. Removes the ugly VoLTE icon on 3.2.1 and higher.
Lockscreen Album Art Remover (not sure if this is working properly or not)
RootCloak (so I can use my banking app)
YouTube AdAway <-- Removes the ads in YouTube videos. I tried it on one video and it seems to work nicely.
I'm still looking at some others. But for now this is functional. I'm also using AdAway downloaded from F-Droid (an open source app installer for Android) to block ads elsewhere.

With the doze issues the OP3 has had I've been hesitant to use Greenify. I looked into Amplify and I'm still in the fence about it.

i've seen doze issues myself on my OP3 as well (pandora stop playing, and email/message notifications are delayed), so i get what you mean. I do use greenify's aggressive doze with Doze-on-the-Go enabled via ADB though.
I just get annoyed by google play services wakelocks (and i don't even have google now or location history enabled)

The OREO rom you prefer and why

with the recent new Oreo roms i am finally thinking of changing to Oreo build roms but i cant make up my mind and i dont have the time to test all of them intensively as i take very long to have my setup in new OS and it would be very helpful to know opinions from you guys
what i am looking for is a rom with regular updates, good camera and stable performance

A lot of them are quite good. At this point, I just want one which will provide me with a stable experience that will keep my device up to date with security patches. Therefore, I am waiting for official lineage but in the meantime I'll stay on RR which is quite good.

With WiFi but without it, there appears to be quite a lot of drain, for me.

Many of the rom are similar, i liked aopsextended the most. But there are common problems to all 1. Receiving call with dialer button swipee is too difficult 2. Delay in connection with hidden network. 3. Problem with using share it or any apps using wifi 4. Some random reboots. I found good battery life in most of them. I got back to nougat.

Alright, thanks for the help Thanhtho!

CrDroid & Resurrection Remix ROM are by far the best, fully featured & user friendly builds at the moment. In the flashaholic forum section I ran down the best 5 Oreo builds (in my opinion).
Take a look and test drive a ROM yourself & agree (or not) with me!

+1,especially when you're in a place with bad network.

Is there any 8.1 rom as of yet that supports camera shutter speed ? (oxygen os blobs and oxygen os camera hal required)

You can test by using this app. If the pro mode shows up and you can set shutter speeds pls report back.

There are not announcements on this version but if you check the download links in their website in Stable releases you will find the link posted here. I guess this is based in China ROM. What´s the difference? Language only?

I been using it with blackbox 1.5 kernel, everything's great. It does support third-party themes, Gcam's working fine. the problem I'm having is the low sound output from the headphone jack, I've tried viper4android it did helped a bit but still lower sound compared to any other custom roms like Aex, Ressurection, Havoc, even the stock miui 9.6.4.0.
Another problem is with kernel auditor app (battery optimization turned off, Auto start enabled) My customized settings keep coming back to default values. any solution to that??

Best Camera App (/mod) for Lineage OS 15.1 Oreo 8.1?

Hi, i've installed the last update of Lineage OS (8.1), but the camera app is too bad. I tried with some porting of Google Camera etc, but most of them crash for different reasons and I did't find a good solution.
Is there a camera app, or a zip mod that I can install by recovery, to get a better shot (or at least, like the stock app of the Samsung Experience)?

For video recording you will have to select camcorder.h265 in developer settings (settings -> developer settings)

Can't seem to find one that will open
Hi
I yesterday installed lineage 15.1 on my s7 Edge.. What a fantastic rom. It feels so much faster and smoother to me than stock oreo.
I have installed it with no gapps and have rooted . I wanted to use Google camera as a replacement but every one I have tried force closes immediately (must have tried 20 or more based on recommendations here, in reddit and elsewhere).
Any suggestions on how to get this working? What puzzles me is that others seem to have it working. Maybe because I haven't flashed gapps?
Thanks in advance

Whatsapp and Instagram camera issue - bad quality
Semi OT: is there a fix for the bad processing and quality of the Whatsapp and Instagram (specially with the Stories) camera?

With android oreo you need to have the "google service framework" apk installed for google apps. You can install the attached app or you can search for it on apkmirror. After installation you can freeze the app with titanium backup.

I think not, as of for now, but the dev had already found the problem and made some improvement, but still in progress, hopefully in the next LOS update there will be good news for camera.
-update-
The update for LOS is done already, you might wanna try do dirty flash over existing build. and update here for the result (i can't update right now).

I yesterday installed lineage 15.1 on my s7 Edge.. What a fantastic rom. It feels so much faster and smoother to me than stock oreo.
I have installed it with no gapps and have rooted . I wanted to use Google camera as a replacement but every one I have tried force closes immediately (must have tried 20 or more based on recommendations here, in reddit and elsewhere).
Any suggestions on how to get this working? What puzzles me is that others seem to have it working. Maybe because I haven't flashed gapps?
Thanks in advance

I don't think that's the problem, I flashed gapps and there isn't any camera app in app drawer. So, I am not able to use camera app and flashlight.

[G930F]Best PIE for battery saver and stable ?

As mentions like the title, which PIE rom is the best for battery saver and stable for G930F / G930FD in your opinion?
LineageOS 16.0 ?
ALEXNDR] DevBase v7.3 ?

I've been using LightRom for ages which is very stable and has lots of stock functions that I want.
Battery life is very subjective and there's no difinative answer to that one. Very much depends on how you use the device.
I was using LOS for a while (and I've used loads over the years) but battery life is never exceptionally better with one over the other.

Well... My usage of the phone is for daily use like watching youtube, playing mobile games and handling banking apps...
I am somehow worry about the security problems and then I cannot use the banking apps... and google pay.
However, I would rather buy another phone doing banking apps is fine. The most important is the battery life and the smoothness.
The battery in stock ROM oreo is terrible. I have 2 G930FD. One staying in Nougat, the another upgraded to Oreo...I am so regret.

You're right. I had exactly the some. Sold my second S7 with bootloader u5 (Oreo), due to terrible baterry life. Second one is on Nougat with bootloader u2, NFE.PIE rom v4.0 and Helios Kernel plus brand new ExtremeCells battery. Now I usually get 1day 10h with SOT 4-4.5h (best SOT 5h - had on BlackDiamond N8v7 Rom)
BTW my banking apk is very strict and ONLY works on this kernel :good:, no patches, root hide in magisk works etc.

So... which ROM are you using for daily use so that you can use your banking apps?

Using LightRom V20 as a daily driver. Battery life is very similar to latest Oreo (LightRom Oreo). Getting 2,5h SOT over 17-28h standby time, differs on when i charged my phone. Idle battery consumption on v20 PIE is without problem. Oreo rom seems smoother in some cases but PIE OneUI is much nicer. With darkmode i want to use OneUI instead. But I still want to give a try LOS16 latest build. I think last build would be really close to OneUI ROMs.

Excuse me, the SOT is only 2.5 hrs...?
What apps you are using when SOT?
2.5hrs is so short.

BLACKDIAMOND NFE v4.0 with heliosKernel
SOT around 4.5h.

It looks good. Do you have root?

And downgrading bootloader even with Odin isnt possible right?

I'm afraid it's impossible even with patched Odin. You can always try BlackDiamondN8PieV7. It is designed for newer bootloader. You should get better SOT. also check condition of your battery with accubattery.apk. perhaps it needs to be replaced.

Not for now. I removed root due to problems with my banking apk. But from time to time I install magisk if needed, and then uninstall it after a while easily.

but if you root, then I guess you cannot encrypt the device

On xFire I'm getting ~7 hrs SOT.
On LightRom I only get ~2.5 hrs or less

How old is your battery?

Hi I have a S7 flat (G930-F) with approx 6h screen on time:
ROM: Lightom Pie [v20], as a daily driver.
this kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/kernel-elite-kernel-samsung-s7-t4022803, with so called "Energy Aware Scheduling"
and this replacement battery from Germany (6 months since installation):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polarcell-...851075?hash=item4d91fe68c3:g:94wAAOSwS0teh2Wq
In addition I have Magisk root and the following tips and tricks with it:
1. Magisk modules:
Sysconfig Patch and Universal Gms Doze.
2. L speed apk
https://apkpure.com/l-speed-gaming-battery-saver-performance-root/com.paget96.lspeed
I am using the battery profile.
3. App Ops - Permission manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.appops&hl=sv
Deny Wakelock and Strict Restrcition in Background for
Google Play Store
Google Play Services
Framework for Google... (something)
4. Greenify
Hibernate some apps. Just works.
5. Naptime
Puts your phone in doze mode fast.
6. Underclocking the CPU. *Debatable*
ThunderTweaks | FKM | Smartpack | MTweaks
Big CPU max suggestion: 1040 MHz
Little CPU max suggestions: 1066 Mhz
Governor: schedutil
7. Medium Energy Saving Mode
- HD resolution, not FHD!
8. Use dark mode
Hope it helps!
