Question Lineage OS 20 makes Pixel 7 Pro a much better phone(especially with Nikgapps, core, or basic) - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?

One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.

it does on pixel phones, its just placebo

Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

it's not included in any package of nikgapps but you can download gcam directly from playstore or telegram (modded version)

Do you even have pixel features like the music search or lens/select text and images in recents?

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong

Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.

What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

Call screening works if you install Google Phone app. Works flawlessly.

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?

Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?

Guys help
installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).
Any suggestions?

Thank you. It's been a long time. I've been on stock for a long time thought I would pull the trigger. But now I'm having trouble with Platform Tools. Hey I do have a question I know this is off topic but what version of platform tools do I need to use?

[Q] Trying to understand the camera issue with ROMs

Noob to this.
So I let me try to understand this:
When I flash a ROM, for some reason, everything pretty much works as intended aside from the CAMERA?
Something about camera blobs?
Why isn't the camera being copied from the stock (official / factory) ROM?
Thanks!

I am running official LineageOS.
First, camera will force-close if I use HDR.
Second, the quality seems to be pretty lacking compared to what I remembered from the old days of using the 1 (see here also: http://bit.ly/2AhBe5T)
Third, as I try to read and learn, I came across this "camera blobs" thingy/issue. What is that? Is this because the OEM won't release camera source code? So devs have to build their own (which is not as good)? Or am I way off?
Thanks again!
yeah you're right they're usually closed source but the opos one is made by cm so linage is using the exact same. The color os blobs is what the Chinese version used which is far more superior also sultan has a modified oxygen os one. My personal favourite is the color os one by miles because the front camera on snapchat isnt soft/smudged looking. I cant use Anything with the linageos/cm blobs/hal, its such a downfall for me personally.

Let me ask: is it not possible to get the official OxygenOS camera on my LineageOS 14.1 ROM?
PS - why do the OEM not allow this? Why do they close the source code? To keep their intellectual property since they developed it)?
Also pinging the helpful @Mr.Ak

They can't release it due to copy rights i think? I'm not sure, and theres 3 oxygen os drivers. The first one which was open sourced (the one sultan uses), the 2nd which is pretty much ignored and the 3rd from the oneplus X port (nearly everyone prefers this one).
I dont like the port one due to lack of 4k in recording, the laggy view frame and i cant notice any quality difference between that and the color os one.
And for your question, there is a way after flashing things but personally i wouldnt do it due to linage not being coded for it.
My honest and best solution is to flash AEX sultanized : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195923064
It's a very well built rom, fluid and everything works great and was my daily rom until i switched phones. Its very well rounded, not exactly the best at EVERYTHING, but its the best well rounded rom.
But if you want color os then go with ommi but i dont rate that rom personally, quite sluggish and plain, doesnt offer much except from the camera.
And if you wanna try the oxygen driver from the opx port then XOS unofficial will be your best bet, ill give it to them that rom has by far the best battery by miles BUT the performance is a major hit.
I'd suggest sultans rom too but AEX is more fluid and offers much more features (if you're into it, i wasnt but i did find some useful stuff)

price was VERY similar +i get 12 months proper warranty + i get to examine the phone before buying, burn in was a big concern for me so this was a huge benefit.

Youtube videos dont do it justice, its unbelievably good

Omirom or omni treskmod?

Im on tresk now but whats better whats the difference?
Difference is you can choose what gapps you want installed with Omni. tresk has gapps already and so on.. also you could choose not to use gapps at all and go micro g.
Another thing is Omni has support on XDA.
Ah ok cool ty
kevinireland11 said:

You get better performance than omni with tresk, you get some pixel UI and experience. Nearly you get omni with some added features and modifications. The Google apps included in Tresk is so minimal, and it's always updated. There is no point in gapps.
You can also use Omni recents with Omni, not available with Tresk. Red flare Kernel (tresk) also have some RZ commits (although you could easily flash red flare to Omni if you want so, I'm using Smurf though, which work best for my use). In any case, both ROMs work really good. I prefer Omni at this point, but both are stabler than OOS
I've tried them both and both are great alternatives to stock. My only issue has been battery life, nothing I've tried comes close to stock battery standby. The performance tho I feel is better so if you are willing to trade standby battery time for performance, either could be a good alternative. With that said, battery life can often be subjective so it might be in your best interest to try them each a few days and see what works for your particular set up.

Oneplus 7 Pro best AOSP ROM

Hello,
I'm new to the Oneplus 7 Pro (not new to rooting) and I was looking for the best AOSP ROM. Would like to know people's opinion which is the best one with no (huge) buggs.
Personally I prefer Havoc OS. I've tried PA quartz 2 and PE ROM but the automatic brightness didn't seem to work for me properly on either of those. Not sure if it was the ROM itself or something I had done incorrectly
New PA Treskmod is out and incredibly stable and has had the best battery on any ROM I've tried. I've used most AOSP and Omni ROMs and have to say this has by far been the best in terms of smoothness and battery. Paired with Neutrino kernel, it's been quite nice. Search in Telegram if interested in viewing the discussion thread for it.
Only 3 builds deep thus far, but haven't encountered any bugs or issues.

There is not much to see. Google how Android 11 looks and that's it. There are no extras.
I wish this was the Android experience Xiaomi offered for all their phones (of course with the bugs fixed), albeit some of their features are cool.
I was not able to install any apk outside Google Play Store for some reason, the Camera app is limited to the 64MPx and Front 20MPx, UI is not adjusted for the rounded corners so some text overflows behind that and I was not able to root the phone either. But still not bad and works fine even for a daily driver.

It's good to know you can run it. I'm surprised it is so fluid. In my experience even Pixel 3a is a bit slow on the latest Pixel UI.
I honestly think Samsung's UI, or Pixel's Android 11 UI is better than Pixel Android 12/12L/13 UI (especially the quick action and lock screen layout), so I wouldn't try this.
