Hi , i stopped changing Rom when I bought the 8t coming from 6t , but now I am bored and I'd like to try a new rom , which is the best custom ROM for 8t ?
Most important things for me :
Stable and fast ( fingerprint also fast)
Good camera (like stock one )
Good battery
Thanks if someone wants to share their experience on multiple custom roms I'd be glad
Of course rom choice is a individual preference but mine is AICP. Good stable, smooth with a few customizations. Can be used with a couple of the custom kernels out there. Not strictly Pixel based. Updated weekly for all devices supported.

had the same thoughts this friday and spend the weekend trying ROMs and twrp
long story short - stock is better for this phone
I was using custom ROMs for years on different phones (starting OnePlus One and Cyanogen mod by Sultanxda), so I know exactly how a good custom ROM feels and works
for this particular model I'm kind of disappointed and "forced" to go back to stock
off course, you can say that you don't use autobrightness or you are ok with how the fingerprint works (or don't use other stuff I've noticed), but for me stock is much better in a daily driver perspective
if you are really bored and have enough free time, it's better to try yourself and make your own opinion about it
only problem is that the stock rom is less trustworthy than even having google up your phones you-know-what

Hey guys i've had my S7 since last july, never rooted the phone. Now i am getting a bit bored so i might root it and flash a custom rom.
So what is the best custom ROM around, with full support, snappy, stable (don't mind minor bugs), battery friendly (my S7 on stock tw Rom lasts me a full day of heavy usage and almost 2 days with light usage, )... can anyone sort me out?

Best rom IMO. I flashed it on 3 phones in my company. Stable, solid as a rock. Fast and beauty

This is the best out there.... great battery life, and fully working s8 port. You should look no further
I recommend the paid app for a full experence.

I checked it on youtube, looks pretty good!
Thanks!!
I reckon official slimrom 7.1.2 would be best, it's what I have currently, along with opengapps aroma installer with Google assistant and everything installed
Hey everyone,

There's no stable custom roms for H8 at all. A lots of bugs, like cameras not working. You should stay on stock

As they said.
I've tried almost all of them and the closest to stable i got was AOSPA which crashed and rebooted randomly when using the GPS.
The Remix Resurrection/Lineage based ROMs would lock me out whenever I had a passcode turned on. What ever it tried to do after unlocking would crash and spit me right back out to the lockscreen.
Hopefully, the Oreo update comes soon, and, hopefully, it comes with Treble so that the Devs will be able to get the ROMs working flawlessly.
I don't know what these guys are talking about, but I've been using CarbonROM as a daily driver for several months now. I have working Magisk, working cameras, working basically everything - except for VoLTE. Though I've heard the VoLTE bug is only applicable for my model (FRD-L04), so you might not even have that. Give it a shot if you want, it's worked fine for me other than the VoLTE.

You failed to mention the camera is sub par on that, and every single custom ROM because it only uses one of the back cameras. All the nougat ROMs have simple bugs that the "developers" have failed to fix because they give up.

Well yeah, it's a custom ROM - of course the devs don't have access to Huawei's proprietary camera drivers. That's not a bug, it's just the nature of custom ROMs. If OP wanted the best of the best camera quality, they would stick with stock, but since they asked for the most stable ROM that people knew of, I recommended one whose developers had indeed worked out the majority of the issues to where I could only identify one minor one from my months of use.
I used customs roms for the shortest amount of time as daily drivers because the battery life really was bad, sound quality didn't flash me (not even with V4A) and the camera is truly sh*t on custom roms too.
If you aren't one of those people who really can't live without stock Android then stay on stock, we'll probably get Oreo or at least EMUI 8 soon.
Hello,
I've decided to try out a custom ROM, not because I hate OxygenOS11 but just looking for a new experience. Once I got the phone I upgraded immediately to Android 11 but then I saw (and still see) a lot of people swearing by OxygenOS Android 10. Is it worth it to downgrade? What would I lose from V11?
And my main question is for those who tried them, which custom ROM is best for you and why?

I've used Oxygen OS for like 6 months after I got the Nord. Then I moved to Pixel Experience Plus based on A11. Worked fine, but it is discontinued now and they have started with A12. Used it for a while, everything worked fine, some minor bluetooth issues (not sure why), small bugs which you won't notice initially and they aren't a deal breaker.
Now I've switched to Proton KnockOff ROM, everything is fine. Minor UI jitters while locking sometimes. No major bugs faced so far. Also tried Project Radiant Unofficial Build (works fine though).
My final thoughts:
If you want clean pixel phone feel and no customization then Pixel Experience A12 is the way to go.
Plus, this ROM has OTA updates enabled.
If you want some customization and overall good performance and you don't mind unofficial builds then Project Radiant is worth trying.
If you want good performance and tons of customization then I'd say Proton will be a good idea.
NOTE: All the ROMs above are A12 based, I used them without root and the same Kernel it came shipped with.
Try different GCams because some of them lag and even crash many a times, I'd say go with BSG GCam or Urnyx05.
Thank you so much for your comprehensive response, much appreciated. I'll also post here my own findings after testing.

Did u tried? I'm interested at your experience
Hi guys,
I’ve been using google pixel devices on and off over the years and finally got a second hand Pixel 4a last week. I immediately flashed latest stock 12 thinking that it’s the best with battery life which is apparently not. So I’m thinking of flashing a custom ROM or downgrade to different stock android version. I’ve seen that stock android 11 is overall good for 4a. Is it true? Or is there any good stock/custom ROM that is good with device? As I said, I don’t mind downgrading
TIA

To each there own when it comes different ROMs, I just started using this phone and I stayed on 12 so I've used all the 12 ROMs available, some have a lot of features available and others not so many, u can usually tell from the op post what your getting by reading the description,, iam currently on lineage 19 which I like for its simplicity, ,( i dont use alot of the features) you will probably find your own bugs in each ROM, everyone's different it seems, so my advice is to try them all,

Not really, to be honest some ( not all ) are bad as far as response , smoothness, gestures. But most are quite good. I think the biggest selling point is the vast amount of new features they offer such as CR Droid. What makes it for me is if I get bored with one I can switch , right now I am on beta 3 and it's pretty good. Once again the only way to know is to start flashing. Hth
Just got this phone a week ago and the current rom it has (android 9 pie) feels outdated... there's tons of custom roms here but i just want to hear everyone's opinion on which to install. i'll be using this phone as a secondary phone so i just want something reliable and new to my eyes. Thanks to anyone who will comment...
