I'm giving a new Honor 6X to my father in law, and he needs something that's reliable and everything works. He lives several hours away so I won't be there to help him, and he can't tinker with his phone.
Phone is unlocked and rooted, and I installed twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin recovery already. Android version doesn't matter, this just needs to be 100% working and reliable. Even a stock debloated ROM would be fine, but I can't find anything like that and it's a PITA to manually debloat the stock ROM.
What can you suggest please?

So best to leave it stock and manually debloat? There's no debloated stock ROM (or any ROM) that's 100% working?

U can give Elite ROM 7.2 a try.....but it isn't perfect in terms of magisk, permission manager etc minor bugs- better performance than stock
LOS, AOSP have performance issues imo
I tried almost every ROM and finally settled with stock if u want most stable and everything working accepting poor optimization of RAM and performance of EMUI 5.0
Here's a guide on bloatware safe to remove made by me https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-list-bloat-software-emui-safe-to-t3700814 - it could sound boring, but manually remove bloats on EMUI is the safe way to achieve a "clean" rom (stable the most, overall) for your father in law, actually. Hope it could be helpful.

Its best to stay with stock. Ive tried most of the ROMS on the US variant and all had various issues.

Yes, this seems to be the consensus. Can I stay rooted on stock without the bootup nag screen? Or can I remove the bloat without being rooted? I don't think system apps can be removed without root.

I am pretty happy with Oos on my 7 Pro, it's complete, stable and super snappy, but the one thing I want from Aosp roms is the AOD. I don't know if any of the custom roms is stable enough, bugless and as fun as Oos? What are your experiences and did you return to Oos or sticked to one of the custom rom?

I really enjoy custom roms, like HavocOS for examples, however I and a small number of others experience a WiFi connection drop out issue, which forced me to come back to OOS.
However, running xXx magisk rom, xposed (for gravitybox to get features back) and a custom kernel (Arter or Bluspark for example) is absolutely the best for me right now. The phone is nippy fast, everything just works.
And this wifi bug occurs with all custom roms?
If only Mwilky can integrate AOD to his magisk rom....

Ye wifi prob is almost in all ROM expect carbon ROM at least for me I didn't face any issue...
I for one never had the wifi issues on AOSP. I thoroughly enjoyed the customization, battery life, and quickness of AOSP roms but had to go back to stock because I kept deleting all my data by not flashing DM Verity to stay decrypted. Had to protect myself from myself lol.
I just replaced my Mi 8 Pro - great phone - too rare to get any real community support - was running Havoc on that and it was a great zippy setup (SD845, 8GB RAM etc) with the OP7Pro. My reason for doing so is it's the only (bar Android One and Pixel) phone mantufacturer (read Android distribution) that I could envisage running wihtout unlocking the bootloader. and flashing a ROM. I need a clean (locked bootloader and not rooted) device for reasons I wont go into in this thread, and Oxygen OS was the only choice for me really. Love it, and have been using it since the rocky beginnings on the OnePlus One after the Cyanogen bust up.

Sorry for being noob here, but this will make things easier to go back and forth between custom roms and oos or the opposite?

Does it worth the trouble to try aosp rom or not?

Me I am still hesitant, it's all for having an AOD that doesn't eat 5 to 10% of battery. I am using Taichi on oos but it's a battery eater

I would forget sometimes tinkering while intoxicated. If do decide to go back to custom roms I'll just stay encryped now that I got a fill of which roms I prefer.

Its well worth it Bro. MSM Xtended has the most features and Bliss Rom is my second favorite due to the extreme amount of SOT i would get with and both are just overall better in every aspect in comparison to stock. The only feature I missed from stock was the app lock.
Hello guys
I decided to root my device and if already I'm doing it I decided to have a custom ROM since I read people like it more than the oxygen OS.
Now I don't know which one to chose?
xXx NoLimits or Havoc-OS? And why?
I'd really appreciate it if you help to decide!
Thank you in advance!
is this Havoc-Oos rom based on stock?
No limits is not a rom itself. It's a powerful tweaking module for magisk with MANY options
I would suggest reading up on it before flashing that or anything in that case

So can I install havoc OS and on it no limits? Will be there any problem?
No limits is good as is Renovate ICE. As far as custom ROMS go, crDroid and Resurrection Remix are the best with crDroid having slightly more options. The Devs are very active and are very good at squashing bugs quickly as well.

I'd certainly try ResurrectionRemix. I had the WiFi drop out issue on havoc and other custom roms, but RR is running perfectly! No issues battery life, as for me, its farsuperior to OOS (6hrs SOT vs up to 8hrs - though your usage, app installations may vary such battery consumption) and its full of settings/tweaks. Plus updates are super frequent, like every other day and the dev/maintainer is responsive to queries.
The only thing I've found is USB File transfer isn't currently working for me, but not a deal breaker by any means as I just reboot to twrp. Plus its working for others.
So yeah, give that a go I say!

Neither one both suck. The only thing worth flashing on this device is bliss but not the official version. And these people telling you that cr or havoc has the most features don't know what they are talking about. Bliss is the rom with the most and best features of all android 10 custom roms for any device. And if you want customization on oos then you should use rice. xXx is just a placebo that doesn't actually do anything. Come on now... Increase Network speeds..... With a magisk module haha that's not even possible. And everything xXx does anyone else could do in their own without an automated script it's basically just all build.prop changes which is super easy to do by yourself with a text editor and you can debloat anything you want from the file system with a root file explorer. Flash bliss or rice is you're staying on oos. xXx literally does nothing it's just a placebo.

I approve this message. Bliss is overall the best Rom with the best battery but it doesn't have the most features because MSM Extended does and there is no debating. Bliss and PA are the most stable. Right now I'm Stock with Renovate Ice. I find no limit overrated because there really isn't much too gain as far as performance on stock and I actually enjoy debloating, side loading apps, and tweaking on my own.
***edited***
go for crDroid. You wont find anything as smooth and power efficient while having tons of customisation.
I think the take home message OP is to give them all a try and see what suits your needs.
You may want all the features that some custom roms offer, you may not experience any of the issues, or you may not need any features and encounter bugs.
I definitely enjoyed havoc, but the WiFi drop out issue was a deal breaker. That's non existent, for me, on RR and so I'm here to stay.
So just give them a whirl yourself and you'll find what's gonna work best for you ?

Haha and what msm builds are your referring too. Cause it doesn't have now features than bliss no other Android 10 custom rom does. I know this for a fact cause I've built every rom there is out and isn't out for this device. Msm is no comparison by a long shot.

Haha it's funny how people always speak without actually knowing. That's the crappy official version.

There is debating if you are telling a complete fallacy. Unless something drastic has happened in the month or so time since I've used Bliss my statement still stands. Evolution X and MSM trump Bliss in the feature department

No you're just wrong msm never had more features than bliss ever maybe you should actually flash them both. I've built both and still build Bliss. I built msm way before it was here on xda before anyone else did. MSM DOES NOT HAVE MORE FEATURES THAN BLISS! This is discussion is over.
I know these threads are frowned upon bc everyone has their own preferences but I'm just curious what roms y'all are running. What is the smoothest ROM right now. I live bring to customize with fonts and colors in the status bar and what not.
I'm on Resurrection but just wanting to change it up. I wish dirty unicorns was on here I used to flash that back in the day and loved it!!!
Ive tried Bliss and ParanoidAndroid but went back to stock with custom kernel as I have way better battery life.

is it possible to have custom kernels with unrooted device and stock os? also, what custom kernle are you using if it's not a secret?
I've been on Havoc and then Omni Treskmod but both had certain issues (battery life / banking apps / default camera not working etc.) so I'm really thinking of reverting back to stock and unrooting the device. But I also enjoy some of the custom kernel features that are available out there so was wondering if it's possible to get best of both worlds

I dont believe that is possible. I use Elementalx and have no issues like that. Banking app is probably just because of root.

It definitely is because of root but I was unsuccessful in trying to hide root with Magisk... So seems like the only way to go is to revert back to stock without root...

Seems like it. Although, when my banking app had tap to pay built in, I was able to hide root and use it. Now I'm forced to use google pay and I can't get it to work while rooted.

My favorite has always been elementalx. It's great on every device I've had.
What about resurrection vs crdroid? I Ave been reading on both and both seems stable and good.
I've tried multiple custom roms but keeping coming back to stock, every rom seems to have some kind of functionality missing that the stock rom has, it's not worth it to lose base functionality just to have something different looking.

Yes, you can use alot of custom kernels unrooted. I have used Weeb and blu_spark unrooted without any problems and with Safety Net passing. If they are designed to work out of the box without any configuration with root apps and have CTS check bypass (kernel level) it should work without a problem like stock/unrooted, little research might be needed tho. Good luck.

Thanks for your input. I have actually unrooted my device and with a little bit of debloating I am getting the best battery life I have ever had (compared to quite a few custom roms & kernels I have tried out) + I was also able to get GCam with aux lenses, Youtube Vanced and get all the customization I need using Nova Prime Launcher. Really don't see myself coming back to any custom rom, as they tend to have bugs here and there, or have something that simply doesn't work the way it should. Stock everything gives me everything I need from this phone :good:
It would be nice to see a stock oos rom with a few added features or one with magisk baked in instead of seeing all aosp roms. idk just a thought, i love the oos rom and dont want to move to aosp.

Well, thats where magisk comes in really. If you cant find a module or root app that foes what you want im sure theres some devs out there who might be interested.
I agree. Id love to see more options android 12 betas, coloros, realmeui, nord2 oos or even gsi roms. A fix for my 4g/5g issues losing signal would be awesome too.
