I bought a OnePlus 7 (GM1900) China Version. But, when it was sold to me. It already had OxygenOS on it with Google Apps. Now, I want an OS that does not have Google Apps. I found the official HydrogenOS at https://www.oneplus.com/cn/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574150159914. It is Android 11.
I was wondering if there is a collection of the different official Hydrogen builds. I was not wanting Android 11. I was thinking of trying to stay with Android 10.
I know that there is a LineageOS 17.1 for this phone as well. Any thoughts as to whether to use LineageOS or HydrogenOS are greatly appreciated. My main thing is no GAPPS.
I am also interested in call recording too.

Curious as to what you found out about Hydrogen on your OP7. I'm looking into this for my OP7Pro. I too don't want Gapps and will use MicroG instead.
I didn't do anything yet. It still has Oxygen on it with GAPPS.
But, I did get a Pixel 4XL with LineageOS 17.1 (Without GAPPS) on it. I got it from Brax.Me
It's pretty good. I just think a Chinese phone with the original OS, shouldn't have GAPPS on it.
I guess I could flash this Hydrogen ROM to it and see how it goes.
I think I would also need root access too. Because, I want call recording.

So I've gotten an Mi 5s Plus for my wife but she wants a more up to date version of Android than what Xiaomi is releasing (current is MIUI 8.5/Android 6.0.1) as they take forever to update.
Obviously I don't want to be tech support moving forward, and I'd like her to be on the latest version of Android. I just really want this to be a set and forget sort of thing, so assuming it would need to be a base ROM of some sort from a major releaser, hopefully there is something released with everything working.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what ROM i could use on her phone so that she doesn't have to worry about updates as she will just receive them OTA?
As with myself she also will require the phone to be NON-ROOTED for her work, along with banking apps (which I'm assuming you can always remove root/lock the phone after installing the ROM).
I don't mind if its a version of MIUI or not but I'd like it so that all the features of the phone still work which I'm assuming would be MIUI.
Thanks for any help.
I think Xiaomi.eu weekly ROMs have OTA, but I'm not sure.
If not than maybe Lineage OS.
Ressurection Remix definitely has OTA.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
Have you tried the global developer ROM? It is quite stable from my testing and is updated nearly every week. It is Android 7.0.
Are these OTA updates?
Is the global developer rom certified so that Android Pay works?
Also I'm assuming the updates to this are OTA, if I miss a couple weeks can you just update to the most recent one?
Ressurection would be interesting, thanks. Does it support Android Pay?
@umirza85 Not sure. I'd try but I've rooted it.
Is there a package that is Android or Linux based that will work with the OnePlus 8t yet?
I have a OnePlus 8T popup unlocked version.
Thanks.
The chinese version of the Rom hydrogen OS comes without any google services what so ever. But probably have some chinese bloatware instead.
When checking the https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/oneplus-8t-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-deve.11587/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-kebab-11-lineageos-18-1.4192751/ claim that
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.

Thanks for the reply. I see that LineageOS is probably the way to go. Would you wait for the official version to be compatible with the 8T or give the one posted by LuK1337 a shot? I haven't done any rooting or modding since 2012 or so.

I haven't done any custom roms on any of my devices since 2014-2015 so can't really give you any advice there. Unless I needed a super stable phone and would be reluctant to wipe it and start over any time soon. I would probably give the unofficial one a spin for a few days and see if I find it stable enough for use. There is no way to know when a official one will be released.
The oneplus phones are almost imposible to hard brick though. As there are official unbrick/MSM tools avaible in case anything go wrong. So in worst case you can just roll back to oxygenOS again (but it will wipe your phone completely)
There might also be other alternative custom roms that might be google free. Even though there isn't much custom roms released for the Oneplus 8T yet.
Rooting is a most for me (I used the oneplus 8T unrooted for 2½ day, which is a new record for me. Can't really live without the possibilities that root gives me).
I am using a Google Pixel G-2PW2400. In this forum, there already exists a thread that deals with this kind of phone.
First of all: Is it possible to root it at all?
And second: What kind of ROM would be suited for it? It is currently running on Android 10 but I would like to upgrade it to Android 11.
I would prefer to use LineageOS 18.1. Could this version of LineageOS 18.1 run on this device? And what TWRP version do I need?
The model number you entered doesn't exist. I'm assuming you're referring to G-2PW4200; the international Pixel XL version?
Yes, it's possible to unlock your bootloader and root your device. Unlike other devices, all custom ROM's are compatible with USA and international Pixel's. Just be sure to download the version that's specific to your device (i.e. Pixel (sailfish) and Pixel XL (marlin)).
It comes down to personal preference when it comes to choosing ROM's but it seems like you've already answered your own question. I don't have much experience with using other ROM's besides LineageOS and Pixel Experience but I think LineageOS feels more stable.
I would recommend installing official ROM's over unofficial if you don't want to loose any functionality and want stability, LineageOS 17.1.
It's the first time since i bought Oneplus 8T that i haven't installed custom rom + root day1. I have the phone since summer. I want to know if it's worth to install a custom rom or not, and why?
Also, can you install most custom roms without rooting?
I guess i need a unrooted phone cause i use many banking apps.
Last question. I don't see many posts at this thread. It's cause people nowadays don't playing with custom roms as they used to be, Oneplus 8T maybe it's an old phone, or people talking about custom rom to other places like telegram?
I remember the Oneplus 5/5T topic was full of posts.
1. Depends on what you want. If you don't care about oos cam.
2. Yes there are Custom Roms that support banking apps.
3. You can also use magisk if you want root and also use banking apps.
4. Yeah most discussion ls are on telegram.
What's oneplus 8t telegram?
Have been using my 8T with custom ROMs since pretty much day 1. I had the best experience with the official LineageOS 18.1 build. Works like a charm, doesn't come with any Google spyware and can of course be used without root. I recently switched to the new Android 12 crDroid, which looks pretty stable too. Again, no Google and nobody is forcing you to root there.
Hello. I have a OP9 LE2117 USA version. Android 12. I've searched the forums for days but didn't find this solution. I get the TWRP loading screen but then it goes to the Crashdump screen every time.
Is this because of android 12?
If you can point me in the correct direction I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

This is an unofficial build of TWRP, based on the Android 12.1 branch, that supports encryption used by Android 12 and 13 ROMs. This build is tested on OP9 pro, but it was confirmed to work on regular OP9 too. As always I'm not responsible for...

Did you use this twrp?
I didn't know about this twrp, thanks. But last night I learned that lineageos doesn't support my model so now I have to find a different supported rom
Also used this version of TWRP with success.
Although lineageos doesn't officially support the tmobile versions, you should be able to make it work. I was able to get the tmobile 9 pro going with the help of another thread on the forum. Have you had time to look through the recent threads?

LE2127 OnePlus 9 Pro Custom ROM (T-Mobile)

This is for the 9 pro so it won't directly help you, but at least you know there are options out there.
