Hey guys, I've been searching around for a rom that is compatible with the Sprint variants of the G920/G925. I've been having lots.. and I mean LOTS of trouble finding a rom that works with my phone (I have a G925P). An answer to this would really help me out ^^
I do have a list of what I want in roms as well, I'm looking for the following:
Rom is running Android 6.0.1 and beyond
Currently being maintained
Debloated and De-Knoxed
Compressed Size
Have apps like Android Pay to work (Apps using SafetyNet)
Has option to keep stock kernel for Magisk and Systemless Xposed
Multi-user Support
Battery Friendly
Allows for lockscreen customization/custom lock apps
And there you go, that's mainly what I'm looking for. Now, if it's an entire OS like LineageOS, I'm willing to try it but, it must fall within the lines of what I'm looking for (or as close as possible). Any answer would be acceptable IF it runs on my phone without any problems (basically, just throw out any answer you have).
Also, here is a list of ROMs I have already tried/searched:
Renegade v7 (No longer being maintained but I am currently using it)
LineageOS (Someone else confirmed that the kernel isn't compatiable with the G920P/G925P)
Mostly Stock for Samsung S6 Edge (I actually plan on trying this one again, as it is debloated and looks more like the stock so I can use more Xposed Modules)
CarRom HD (This bricked my phone after flashing the kernel, data didn't work when I had gotten it to work BEFORE I bricked it)
Alexis ROM (Doesn't work with Sprint variants)
I'm currently using Big Daddy PL3 Aroma V1.x which works great. I haven't been able to get magisk to work as of yet, but everything else is great.
We have all tried many custom roms on our device, we have had many roms available for Nougat but now we have Oreo arriving on our devices, thanks to the devs we have many stable custom roms for oreo too.
We all know that not all custom roms are available here on XDA forums for various reasons, i would like this thread to mention all roms available for S8 exynos (g950f-fd ) OREO.

Hey!
I recently got an S8 (exynos) with Oreo that i have now rooted using magisk and TWRP.
I'm looking at custom roms but its hard to find the right one.
By browsing through threads here at XDA i usually just see the problems people are having, rather than positive experiences. (Since you are more likely to write when you actually have a question or need help..)
If anyone is using any custom rom now on S8 based on Oreo, please share your positive experiences and let us hear the downsides as well!
I'm mostly looking for a way to completely rid my phone of all bloatware, trackers and so on. I basically just want an empty OS with the normal apps for calling (contact book for example), and google play so i can find new apps there if i want to.
Facebook, gmail, google, samsung apps i would prefer to never see in my phone.
If the rom can be installed using TWRP thats the best for me since that's all i know so far.
Thanks for any tips you might have!

Most of the Samsung apps have been taken out, and replaced with Google alternatives. What you're left with is a noticeably faster and smoother experience. My battery performance has improved also. Well worth checking out if you want a 'Barebones' 'Google like' offering.

Alright! Great stuff thanks for the tip!
I installed renovate ice on my s8 this weekend and so far its perfect for me. I was able to remove basically every single app from samsung and google, leaving me with what feels like a really clean phone.
So far i have not encountered any single issue or problem with the ROM. I will post here if i do or if i decide to try another one in the future.
Is this compatible with G955N?

If you mean renovate ice then yes. Im using it on my s8.
I've been using CarHDRom for many years.
Many possibilities to customize the Rom and 1A support!

I'm looking to replace my stock rom on exynos. One that could improve battery life.
Still few options (comparing to Snapdragon versions), sadly.
Hey man, how is your experience so far with renovate ice? Any noticeable issue with it? I'm considering using this rom but im seeking for advices first. Thanks

Hi.
I am checking back after quite some time. Just wanted to know if UPIs such as BHIM, Google Pay, PhonePe are now working on Custom Roms or not ?
Thanks
If your question is do those work on a rooted phone, the answer is yes, using MagiskHide
Hello Members.
Im new in this Forum. My Name is Danny From Germany and i got a Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro in new for only 199$. After 2 Weeks of using, i really dont like the Xiaomi Stock Rom. It is full of bloatware and crappy ad´s. I followed some instructions and deactivated some of the Ads, but i still get some of them.
I already unlocked the bootloader 1 week ago, because i wanna install a Custom Rom and get rid of that data stealing nonsense crap of Xiaomi. But now im at a point, where i dont wanna make a mistake. My last time flashing is like 10 years ago on my Xperia Play.
I followed the Unlock instruction of this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-0-rom-and-root-xiaomi-poco-x3-pro.4267623/
I stopped at 2. Because i have seen, there is now Android 12, that orangefox doesnt work for OTA Updates and i dont get the part how to downgrade from MIUI Global 12.5.4.0 Stable. Or is there maybe a way that i can flash now directly without downgrading?
Could someone pls help me with the decision which custom rom is the right one for me and help me with downgrade it? I read the instruction theme complete, but the last comments were written a long time ago.
The most important things for me are battery life with a good performance and the decision which Apps i want. I would love to have the Playstore and Google Maps, but not the other google apps.
My Poco X3 pro is running AICP 16.1 (Custom ROM) and its working fine with Orangefox (R11.1_0 Stable). and OTAs (every friday) ... as i understand it, there is not spoken of Android 12 but of MUI12, what makes a difference
Thx for the answer. Do i Need to Downgrade MIUI or can i Just flash the Rom? How about Banking? This Phone is gonna be my Daily.

Banking apps working fine with magisk hide.
POCO x3 pro is great with custom roms.
Am using spark os and it's working fine for me.
The only thing you may miss is the xiaomi cmera app, but there is alot of alternatives.
Ich hoffe, dass ich dir geholfen habe.
I was in the same situation as you, it's my first Xiaomi, I advise you to flash a pixel experience rom, you'll feel like you've got a new phone, I flashed pixelextended

Banking apps work fine without Magisk or Magisk Hide. Root is not needed unless you want it for something else.
CrDroid 7/8 are working very well too.
Stable and banking apps are working (inkl. german DKB TAN2GO) !
MIUI CAM is included
Absolutely Custom ROM.
I use OrangeFox recovery on android 12, and no problem here for OTA or storage in recovery mode.
I'm using Latest CrDroid 8.1, just follow the instructions there, and you're good.
Magisk 24 is now working on Android 12 if I'm not mistaken, or you can use the Alpha one.
So far this is the best one for daily use, gaming, and other stuff for me.
Cheers

1- right now no custom recovery can decrypt internal storage, so no OTA update works (only manual via adb sideload in custom recovery)
2- you don't need to downgrade del 12.5.4.0 (that was the latest stable update when op publish his work)
3-twrp (3.6.0_11) is now a stable recovery for vayu.
4- arrow os 12 work great with out root (well, at least my banking apps), but if you need root, there is magisk hide or zygisk...
5- you can flash Vanilla version of custom roms +open gapps pico to have "google playstore" and then install only what you need.
6- battery life is always up to you and your use... there is no magical kernel to give out 87 hours of screen on time...

You can use dfe to keep dencrypt or move files to sdcard\usbotg to flash. If you have a compuer you can also use adb sideload. AOSP recovery should be able to install OTA update. Just flash the .img file in twrp\ofox to recovery partition.
Thanks i will try it tomorrow and give a Feedback.
How warm does your devices get? Mine gets very warm when charging it and even when im using it, it goes Up to 38,5 degrees. Is that normal??

Fast charge will heat up the phone.
Your room temperature will also need to be considered.
Wifi, LTE and video playing/moving gif will heat up the phone as well.
Follow this guide to update ROMs:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4288121/post-85137963
Note that the dirty flash update of ROM in the tutorial only works with Android 11.
All custom recoveries cannot decrypt Android 12 at the moment, so you cannot see internal storage with custom recoveries on any encrypted Android 12 yet.

Haldi's Benchmark Thread for Testing & Fiddling with the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro
Sup people, I've made it a tradition to create a Thread where i keep all my research an benchmarking together in one place. I've done so for the Sony Xperia XZ2, HTC 10, Sony Z2, and Z. The first Android device i used was the Sony Xperia X10i...

If you use it while charging it might even go a little higher.
