Hi,
I currently main an S10e besides my "project phone" Mi Note 10. On that phone I just installed az AOSP-based custom ROM (Android 13), which I really do like. So, I am thinking on flashing the S10e (Exynos) with a custom ROM too (PixelExperience 13).
My question is that is there anyone who flashed custom ROM instead of the OneUI 4.1 on the S10e? Is it better performance, battery and features-wise (under features I mean e.g. Cameras being most important.)? Can it be used as a daily as well as OneUI?
Thanks for the answers.
P.s. sorry for my bad English.

Performance will definitely be better. I ran Lineage OS on my A52 4G for a little while, and it was much faster than OneUI 5. Also, many custom ROMs don't come with nosy Google apps pre-installed, which is a plus (although you can install them yourself if you want them). Some things to remember are that the camera support will not be as good as stock (so do your research on how good support is for your device), and that phone calls will not work with custom ROMs on any Samsung device. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

VoIP doesn't work. Normal calls do just fine.
@somatoth You might want to have a look at
OneUI 5.1 for Exynos Galaxy S10 series.

Yes, sorry. I should have clarified, I meant that VoIP doesn't work, but depending on where you are, it could mean you won't be able to call at all, because many service providers have recently stopped their service with devices that don't have VoIP capability. So here in the U.S. I essentially can't call at all, because no major carriers here work without VoIP. But it all depends on where you are and what carrier you use.
EDIT: Read this thread page for more info on this (many posts talk about VoIP and calling support).

Lineage OS has probably the best camera support of any custom ROM at the moment, as they just recently released version 20, which featured a brand-new default camera app, Aperature. I have used Aperature before, and compared to alternatives such as Open Camera, It is much better. For example, the camera apps that most custom ROMs ship with, including Lineage OS 19, don't even support all of the cameras, only the main shooter. Also, the overall quality of the photos are better with Aperature. That being said, the camera quality will still not be as good as stock. Currently, if you want to run Lineage OS on your device, there is the official Lineage OS 19 version (based on A12): Lineage OS page, XDA thread; and the unofficial Lineage OS 20 version (based on A13): XDA thread. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them.
Thanks! Do you know by any chance, is there a good Gcam port for Exynos devices? On my Xiaomi phone which I flashed with OctaviOS, there are lots of available but that is a Snapdragon model... And the only thing (besides that I am new to flashing on Samsung) is the camera (which is absolutely fine) and battery performance (which already sucks a bit on the S10e) that keeps me on OneUI.

For the Gcam port look here. Yes, battery performance will definitely be better with a custom ROM. Let me know if you have questions about flashing it, as I have an A52 4G that I flashed Lineage OS to and then re-flashed OneUI to (because of VoIP, otherwise I would stay on Lineage OS 100%).
Thanks. It's sad that this camera isn't as good as the stock one, so I might stay at OneUI as you have flashed back.

You can see a comparison between the stock camera app and Gcam on your device here. The results from Aperature, if you install Lineage OS 20, will be the same or better. Like I said, the only reason I switched back was because where I am, I need VoIP. Otherwise, Lineage OS was much better than the stock OneUI, and I can't wait to go back to Lineage OS again after I get a different phone for calls.

So in about 15 hours I can unlock my phone finally. First thing I want to try is to install an AOSP Rom from the Treble thread. Did anyone already did this if so how and is everything working well?
I'm going to try it tommorow, if anyone is willing to upload the stock camera app I would be very grateful. So I can try if that app works on a stock Android Rom.
I did try it and mobile data didn't work for me, so I didn't test any further. Also the screen flickers sometimes.
you guys should know that treble is intended towards OEMs and not end users. Treble is nowhere near stable and oyu will have to wait for xiaomi to fix it.
and also you need xiaomis framework in order to use any of the miui apps. Since it is closed source you wont be able to use the camera ever on a custom rom.

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you said that the camera won't work on aosp based roms at all... This is why I was curious because I was sure I saw mi mix 2 phones with a working cam on aosp. I never owned a xiaomi device before, is the camera quality really that much worse than with miui cam app?

Well normally the biggest downsides of custom roms is inferior camera quality (for the reason stated above). Especially on custom roms for xiaomi phones since they hardly released any sources. Nowdays it changed a bit, google camera port delivers (sometimes) better quality photos if used right.

Ok, thanks for the explanation, in 4 years with the 1+1 camera quality never was important for me... let's hope the best for a good cam quality on custom roms for the 2s, if there will be any...
which other hardware features would we lose on an aosp rom on the mix 2s?
would the fingerprint scanner still work to unlock the phone?
what about pulling the status bar down with the fingerprint scanner?
and face unlock?
camera quality is usually the biggest drawback when switching to custom roms though. when I first heard of project treble I thought that this issue would be gone! i got the impression that the hardware drivers would stay in one partition and over it you could install an AOSP rom. sounded like the best of both worlds! running an aosp rom but still having the same camera quality!
I'm pretty sure that's not the case though. as soon as you flash an aosp rom on a treble device you're back to the point where we've always been. it's just like running a custom rom a year ago. you lose the features, drivers,...
correct me if I'm wrong!

Well, these features are mostly implemented in system software. If the fingerprint gesture is present as a default feature in AOSP, you will have it when you flash a treble rom. If AOSP supports two cameras, you will be able to use them by default in treble etc.
The features generally depend whats implemented in AOSP.
(Assuming that xiaomi implemented treble in the way which is specified by google)

what would you recommend to a western user to get the best out of the camera? To use it default's OS?

You can just flash global rom or xiaomi.eu Rom, it works just fine for me (I'm from Germany). Camera quality is the same as it is with China Rom. If you buy Chinese version and flash global rom there is no real difference to buying global version (except some Lte bands you probably don't need anyway)
Edit: just saw in another thread that you said you need band 28, I think only 256gb Chinese version or 64gb and 128gb global version have Band 28 so you either have to get the 256gb version or buy a global version

Nope, I didn't report it as I went back straight to MIUI so I couldn't have provided any additional feedback to the dev. It wasn't a huge problem for me though as it flicks between min and max brightness only once or twice and only during locking/unlocking (during the usual AOSP screen fading animation). Might report it one day when I'd be in mood to try it again.

screen issue was fixed in v21 and it's very stable for daily use now(used for 1.5 days)
I've been using my Galaxy S7 for the last year and half or so and I have been considering flashing a custom ROM on it. Years ago I did have a OmniROM Galaxy Note 1 then flashed CyanogenMod on that same phone. It died due to battery problems.
I'm curious as to how far custom ROMs have come since then and whether its worth going the Custom ROM + Root route on my Galaxy S7 to get some additional features and that stock Android feel.
The phone is still receiving updates though so I'm not sure if it's worth flashing yet.
Would love you hear what your guys think.
Cheers
Both the TouchWiz ROMS and AOSP ROM's are pretty well developed and supported. So really it's personal preference more than anything.
If you don't like custom ROM's, you can always flash back to stock using Odin and go back to getting OTA's.
Just note it'll trip knox, so you'll lose some Samsung app functionality.

I've heard of issues such as camera quality, metallic sounds when taking calls and HWC issue, do you know if TouchWiz and AOSP have these issues?

Camera quality is worse on AOSP because the camera uses proprietary drivers built into TouchWiz. If you go with a TW based ROM you shouldn't notice any difference.
Otherwise the vast majority of other issues tend to be user error / caused by dirty flashing. Nougat ROM's are all pretty much final and have been bug free for a long time. Oreo is still somewhat new, but still pretty bug free.
I've been using SuperMan ROM for about 18 months, haven't had any issues and use it as a daily driver.
Not sure about 9.0.

I did try Lineage 16.1 on my G930F. It seems pretty stable although the functionality is pretty limited at the moment. I would wait for a stable release with more features etc.

I hated the bloat and nagging of the latest Samsung update to Android 8, so I installed TWRP, made a backup of my stock system, and then installed LineageOS. I ran that for a month and loved the UI and minimalism, but I hated that some hardware drivers were buggy and that the camera would NEVER perform as well as Samsung designed. So I tried SupermanRom, which is the Samsung Touchwiz Android 8.0.0 but debloated and lots of nice extras. I gave it a black Substratum theme designed for the S7 and run it with Nova launcher, and it is the BEST OS I've ever run on a phone. Very polished, fully functional, and great battery life. The csc installer tool by the same developer also made my S7 Exynos/international variant work as intended for USA TMobile, with wifi-calling, VoLTE, and video calls. I'm running it with TGPKernel.
OK so I've had the P20 Pro for just over 3 weeks and really the the unit ( CLT-L04 8.1.0.120(C792 - Canadian). Had the Nova Plus previously. I used to flash my Samsung phone often years ago but haven't had the opportunity until now. I have flashed Lineage OS 15.1 and back to EMUI - usually once a day - sometimes twice!
Things that make me stay on LOS;
- Privacy Guard
- less bloat
- stable
- individual notification tones for different contacts !!!!!
Things I miss from EMUI;
- motion sense - phone wake / phone call
- panorama in the camera ( not in the B131 camera mod )
Way looking forward to Lineage OS 16 !!
You need to turn you L-04 to C432 for faster updates, after that I don't think you need other custom ROMs once rooted you can remove all unnecessary software
Things I miss from Emui:
- Dual Speakers
- Ir
-type C Headphones

Yea there are some issues, predominantly the same ones as lineage but they also have a lot of features which lineage does not.
Personally i'd say AOSIP. But any Oreo 8.1 will work on the Pro.
Just not PIE for the moment.
fingerprint gestures works on AOSIP, but you need a prior version 20180503 which is an old version it seems but there are no differences between this and the latest which is 11/01
NFC / Stereo speakers i believe are the only issues.
Beyond that it's really customizable and absolutely rapid.
Does it mean that ROMs for Honorary View 10 are compatible with P20 Pro?

I've actually gone back to emui, I had to take some selfies for work (security pass)
And for everything I tried, it simply would not save any selfies, which it used to do. Plus I wanted to check if there was an update for emui / android, so reverted back via eRecovery ( All folders kept on memory )
There was an update to 161 which installed, can't see any difference in the system at all, no quicker, no extra features, no performance or stamina gains.
EMUI is absolutely vile, can't install the modded pixel launcher and all other launchers have a slight lag in comparison which I notice having lived with AOSIP for so long and it's fluidity.
Plus, theming is basically half arsed, so much is badly themed, so much is glitches, ie: white text on white background. Plus even after cleaning up bloat, there's still a tonne of system services which are required.
I think to summarise and to the OP, EMUI is a ******* abomination which I would put on par with touchwiz on a galaxy ace, it truly is horrific.
The only problem is LOS / AOSIP type ROMs have faults, NFC, stereo, camera, gallery, selfie saving etc. Plus other glitches, plus it's not as well optimised as it could be, plus it's for a different phone lol
I'm hoping @FluFlu can work his magic and make a ROM that literally saves this phone, it really does deserve it, i only wish I knew more about this type of stuff on a code level.
If you can put up with the bugs, the rest of the ROM is phenomenal and dances all over EMUI.
Rant over, :good:
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
I wonder what is the best room for performance in OP9 even optimization?
There is not a huge difference it's all personal preference.
Stock rom
Debloated OOS and some magisk mod tweaks.
I've tested custom rom my choice is Syberia
Stock or AOSPA imo
OOS
*Syberia is the most customisable and so far seems very snappy.
*Elytra OS The most aesthetic UI and fast kernel
These two ROMs are my choice for #bestROM.
*Pixel extended is the perfect Google experience
*CRDroid is also another one worth mentioning and the Dev is very friendly.
*Stag OS was the first 13 rom and is very stable also
*lineage OS is the most basic Custom rom and easy to flash.

Exactly this. They're all pretty great.
For A12, any ROM with OOSCAM and a current security update is amazing.
For A13, ElytraOS is very impressive, and the maintainer is very active in what feedback is given. StagOS As well, but that maintainer is/was supporting A12 and 13 while ElytraOS came in on A13, so has just had more time to focus just on it. Both are great.
And now with Syberia (one of my favorite OP6 roms) on the scene, It seems you literally can't pick incorrectly, all are winners.
All my issues have always come from incorrect OOS update prior to flashing a ROM (see: PEBKAC), Android and/or its various changes itself effecting the Apps I use itself or an underlining bug that's from lineage (that all start with as a base, at least on every OP devices I've run with an android OS) that's out of the maintainers control.
For now, I'm back on Pixel Experience A12, but will return to A13 ROMs once it matures a little further and apps stabilize on it (preferably one with Google AI call screening enabled by default.)
I'd also take note of the few ROMs that offer vanilla builds that allow you to manage your own exposure to GApps, or none at all (ex: CRDroid)

OOS13 is so damn beautiful but hate the idea of trying to root, remove bloat/spyware, optimize it all while in Beta.
