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.

The title is self explanatory.
I'm selling my beloved (and sometimes behated) Oneplus One that has obviously been modded since day 1.
Unfortunately I never tried stock Lineage OS so I'm asking you guys if it is stable enough to be flashed instead of the stock and obsolete COS13.
Thanks!

I don't think it is as stable as cos13,but you should sell the device with nougat.
My suggestion is Flash sultan's lineage os and sell it.
The camera crashes in panarama mode. Otherwise solid is. Oneplus has the oxygenos for this phone but its version 5.1 if you want rock solid stability

There is OOs 3.1.4 port which is stable as well.
Some OTa updates install the factory camera back on..
I ended up locking the bootloader and reinstalling COS13, mainly because some banking apps and Netflix don't show up on the Play Store with an unlocked bootloader.
It's been almost 3 long years of flashing and modding, now I'll try so stay stock with no root as long as possible with my new Redmi Note 4
Thank you for the advice, cheers guys!
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.
Hi!
I'm an owner of an OnePlus 7. I upgraded to Android 10 a while ago and the new OxygenOS looks and feels amazing.
But I also wonder if a custom ROM is still needed or preferred over OxygenOS?

Yeah... I'm still for having custom roms... OnePlus right now offers bimonthly updates, so people who want to run the very latest version of Android have to use custom roms.. also OnePlus may not have some features which users who are coming from a custom rom may miss..
Hello, this is my first time owning a xiaomi phone, coming from huawei, i want to ask about the problems of installing custom roms in Xiaomi ( what to do in order to avoid bootloops, bricks...) and if it is safe to install them on xiaomi phones.
Just follow the instructions in f2 pro development forum. Never forget to backup everything before flashing any rom.

The biggest issue is the ridiculous wait to unlock the bootloader.
If not already unlocked, plan on waiting (at least) a week before you can do anything custom with your phone. [ You may find "alternative" unlocking programs online, but each time they are released, Xiaomi seems to quickly patch the "vulnerability" rendering them useless. ]
Once unlocked and MIUI is removed (which I personally feel is among the worst of all Android skins + bloatware + privacy invasion + advertising), Xiaomi phones seem almost universally impressive.
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).
