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)

Xposed Module on Oneplus 8T

I tried both the methods (Sandhook and YAHFA) after installing the core and my device went into a boot-loop. I've reset it using msm 5 times now. Has anyone been able to install the Xposed module to their device without the eternal bootup animation? Moreover, is it me, or does rooting this device make it sortof unstable? (Apps crashing and general UI lag)

Only the canary version (v0.5.0.6-android_r) works on Android 11, which version number are you installing?

Oh, I didn't know this. There is a canary version of the Edxposed? I have (had) the canary version of magisk installed but I don't think I a canary version of Edxposed among the downloadable modules in magisk. Have you tried it and does it work? I have come back to android after 5 years so it's quite confusing for me, last I flashed SuperSU using TWRP on OnePlus 3.
Could you link me to the guide for installing Edxposed through Magisk for Android 11 devices?

To download the canary version you need to install Edxposed manager app first and then head to the canary tab and download either YAHFA or sandhook.
Afterwards you flash that zip file with magisk via internal storage

Seriously i don't know why you want absolutely install Xposed on a 8T, Xposed is dead from a long time, actualy it's just the last old version ported/fixed by chinese dev for be compatible with new Android version.
But be sure when you said "does rooting this device make it sortof unstable? (Apps crashing and general UI lag)"
1/ NO it's not the ROOT making your smartphone unstable but it depend of your apps and usage
2/ YES for sure Xposed will create unstability, Xposed golden age was on Android 5/6, now it's finish

What do you suggest for usability? I, too, have been out of the rooting game for some time. When last I was rooted Xposed was the bees-knees. It offered so much usability as far as tweaks and mods.

Xposed died, now it *sorta* survives through edxposed BUT it's very unstable even on a good day and completely breaks safety net....
Edxposed is a newish kind of Xposed but barely works
If you can move to the eu or global firmware, use renovate ice for tweaks, it's basically the same thing as gravity box

Question OnePlus 9 Stock Camera app for custom rom

Alright, so I installed Evolution X, and everything works properly, BUT, I can't get the stock camera app. All guides I found on the internet (advising me to use systemizer + apkmirror), (yes, i have root), didn't work, with the app either insta-crashing, or blank screening. Please help!

Oos cam on aosp is exactly what it is a wip. Still not available . Must use g-cam and they are horrible on the 9 series. This is main reason I have yet to flash anything.

Alright, gcam it is. Is open camera worth considering?

this wont work or happen unless the person providing the custom rom includes the correct vendor blobs /files to make it work on custom roms until then your only options are using the built in camera with said custom roms or using gcam

Question Stock camera app?

I've switched to a GSI, and I have been using GCam just because I liked how the UI and app icon looked. I didn't really like it, doesn't work well, slow, and the photo quality is mediocre while the file sizes were outrageous. I just want to go back to the stock camera on OneUI, without going back to OneUI. It worked well and the photos looked good. Where can I get the APK for it? And would it work just by installing it normally? Also I'm not sure if it's allowed but sharing the file here would also be nice.

I did have the same experience. However the ONEUI APK didn't work on the GSI and gcam also had issues. There seems to be something wrong with the frame buffer.

I am using the stock One Ui 4.1 with Google Camera and photos are really better with Google Cam. I'm using "Shamim's SGCAM_8.4.400.42...V35" from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-shamim/. I've configured a bit the options and pictures are really better than the stock cam. However, I think using the Samsung Camera on GSI is impossible because it uses some closed-source code which is only on the One UI.

Thanks for the answers. I've just been using Open Camera and it's exactly what I need, not sure why I didn't switch sooner.

Can I ask which GSI you’re using?

Hello,
I also use Open Camera on my phones, no bugs, many options and compatibility with all manufacturers
