So I bought this device in order to switch ROMs like I did with my OPO, and then I discovered I won't get the high quality camera if I switch ROMs.
Problem is I get bored without flashing anything...
So I thought about flashing some OOS based nougat ROM but then I'll lose Xposed.
What did you do?
Did you stay on stock mm like I did?
Would love to hear suggestion and your opinion, maybe I'm missing something

I made the switch to nougat from having xposed framework , i had all the best mods and i thought I'd regret it moving to nougat but it's honestly not that bad for a start if you still want to block YouTube ads then you can install a patched version of adfree YouTube for nougat and for the visual UI mods there's substratum which is very decent there's also adaway for adfree browsing which again still works perfect on nougat and the doze mode has been improved alot but as always the choice is yours but I'm glad i switched and besides the Dev of the xposed is working on nougat in his spare time so we will get it eventually , i hope this helps your decision ...

Thanks! this is exactly why I asked this question, didn't know there are patched versions for nougat.
You convinced me to at least give it a try.
Your favorite OOS based ROM? Stock?
There's actually an adblocked and background playback-enabled YouTube app now. You can find it here. Alternatively, you could always give dual booting a try.
Xposed will come next year, forget about xposed on sdk25 this year.
Still on stock mm
Can't live without xposed
Cheers

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

Hello Everyone, First sorry for my Bad English
I created this topic for discussions about the available ROMs for Addison...Cause like me, I think other's users are looking for a good ROMs, so in this place the users can give their opinion and recommendations.
Yeah I'm looking for the same, they're no official/stable roms available currently to use as daily driver
Just rooted retail global 7.1 is good for me.
Cause I can't find an aosp roms support moto display feature.
try xperience 11. it supports mods.

My strong recommendation is OMNIROM 8.1.0 !
Installed ~3 months now, no crashes, good battery, quick action. Additional I ve got Magisk for Root, Viper4A and VoLTE.
Based on Motorola releasing Official oreo somewhen in 5634 a.c. .... I can tell 4sho i dont care anymore. . got these custom settings by myself and system is running in almost perfection....
Lineage 15.1 latest build June.
No other Kernel....just Vaches Lineage.
Gapps Oreo Nano latest build.
Arnova8G2 Camera...whatever works the best for you...my case v6.
Titanium Backup...for that of saving Apps with settings only not rom settings.
Magisk v1604 with Safetynet working perfectly.
TWRP 3210.
My pals....this is working just amazing no issues battery performance outstanding....overall performance etc....and let me tell ya I got back device from brain dead....black screen full hard brick not being able to install any stock rom anymore but....the same....i dont care anymore it is working amazing!!!

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?
Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA
Well here I am just giving muy very own personal opinión on the Best Custom Experience I have with Oreo 810 cuz roms and apps.....list is as follows:
TWRP 3210 Advanced Wipe and Select everything except of course External Sd Card...erease everything including internal Storage..we want dead that also....then select FORMAT DATA...to make sure everything is gone....
install Lineage 15.1 July Build.
OpenGapps 810 64 bits nano.
Restart and Initiate Oreo basic setup.
Install Magisk Manager APK restart to Recovery.
Install Magisk 16 Stable restart into Oreo make sure Magisk Manager does recognize Magisk 16.
Click on Vaerify Safety Net click on dowload script and validaty...it will give fail...restart to recovery.
Flash universal-safetynet-fix-v2-beta-5-magisk-v14.zip this is the one FUNCTIONING 100% TESTED BY MYSELF....restart into Oreo now.
Now if you do have corruptable App like titanium Backup install those apps and run any Backup.
Finally flash Alizee Kernel v14 for Non Treble.
For camera I have Arnova Mod test any u want works for me v6 latest Stable.
Below you can attachements as proof. Thanks!
My Oreo working Flash Perfect no Issues.
nice guide! Just wondering if the vendor image message still pops up? This usually happens after flashing the safetynet fix. I know it doesn't do anything and everything still works fine. But, for some reason it always bothered me with lineage os because, it never happend on other roms.
Yes bro it happens keep giving that vendor image error message but as you said already its fine not giving any issues at all.

Weird that it doesn't happen on other roms. Lineage seems to be the only rom having issues with magisk and safety net. Atleast it works fine even with that message. But it still bothers me for some reason. But i'm gonna save this guide because, I might need it someday
For me the best combinatiom for both performance and battery life

hi guys
do you think once official oreo will be released we will have more improvements on 8.1 roms? to which degree?
i waited to update until now, seeing a lot of concerns about camera and various random bugs, (been flashing lot of nasty roms quite happily, but now i feel just a tad more prudent )

As Motorola will most probably release the kernel sources/source code for our device short after the Oreo OTA it will help the developers a lot to fix all this device related bugs. So yes, it makes sense to wait for it.

i believe yes, it will improve. I'm personally waiting for some dev to port the P GSI specifically for our device, like other devs did with the MI A1.
So, I was tired with RealmeUI and decided to do some experiments with my phone. For the last few days I have been flashing numerous custom ROMs. I'm gonna share my experience with these ROMs. Hope it helps someone decide which one to flash. Earlier this post had some other ROMs mentioned too but I removed them as they were updated recently and I haven't tested them. So, can't provide my review without flashing them.
1. PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS & PIXEL EXPERIENCE
This is by far the best custom rom available for this phone. It's been one week and I'm still using it. The UI is buttery smooth. Gaming performance is awesome and battery life is good. The only downside of this ROM is that it doesn't have extra features like the other ROMs. This is purely STOCK. And damn I miss the OOS recorder from Derpfest. I know there's a Magisk module to get the oneplus apps and I did flash it. But the screen recorder was just not there. I tried installing ported apk. But the apk wasn't installed. So I used a app from the playstore- "SCREEN RECORDER". From my point of view this is the best rom for non gamers! I would recommend Evolution X for the gamers out there. I did install only two modules on this ROM - AML and Dolby Atmos!
2. EvolutionX
This is my daily driver now . The smoothness and performance is as good as PE+. But this rom has some extra features which is very essential (to me). If you game a lot and do screen recording, this is the one for you. There's a dedicated gaming mode which turns on automatically when you open games and oos screen recorder. It's a very feature rich rom. The latest version of EvolutionX needs RealmeUI firmware. So flash it first if you're on COS.
3. Havoc OS
Used this ROM for almost two days now and I can tell this is a good ROM. I didn't do gaming though. By the looks of it, I think it will handle gaming just fine. The XDA thread of Havoc is outdated. Join the Telegram Group to get the latest version(which is 3.8). And it needs RealmeUi firmware so flash it if you're on COS.
any bugs in Pixel Exp Plus or should I stick to Realme Ui
I can confirm. Been testing all the three and while I loved them Pe and pe+ are far the best in basic functions like speed, ui, battery, performance. Yet it is true it's very stock android like and missing some extra features but I don't mind for I'm a purist and you can always add extra content, apps, features by downloading and on a rooted device there is no such thing as completely impossible ?
Is there any properly working call recorder in pe+?

Actually, there is one impossible thing- " you can't install the OOS screen recorder (I couldn't). Tried the ported version and the magisk module Oxy-ify. The app just doesn't install.

You have to sacrifice some things. The private safe of realmeui isn't there. You have to use Gcam. Stock camera features(48MP) won't work. Slo mo does work but is kinda useless. The secondary lenses work but the macro is pretty useless I guess.

Well, there will always be stuff that won't install on different ROMs. I tried so hard to get 48 mp on custom ROMs but found out that it's kind of faux yet a good 12 mp gcam shot can be just as sharp and detailed as an oversaturated stock 48 mp shot on stock ROM. So I gave up on it and I don't mind. There are some stuff you can't install but if you're creative enough you can get around them. I'm sure there are good enough screen recorders out there ?

I never cared for the 48MP mode. Even in stock rom I used it only twice. Normal 12MP images turns out better than the 48MP images.
I know there are screen recorder apps available out there. But none of them were as good as the OOS screen recorder so I shifted from PE+ to EvolutionX.!
Best rom, lineageos. But it seems nobody is developing it anymore... But still using it and it's great
Let me use this thread to ask this: is there any custom rom being actively developed, that does not have gapps included? Thanks.

1. DERPFEST
The initial impression of this ROM was great. Performance and battery life was way better than the stock ROM. And the games ran very smoothly(including cod mobile and pubg mobile). And it had great features too e.g. - OOS Screen Recorder. You can't find the app anywhere on the app drawer. It sits quietly in the quick settings. If you don't see it just add from the tiles. But after two days to usage ROM started behaving weird. Occasional lags and stutters in the UI. And some apps were crashing. And sometimes the will go to a bootloop. To get out of the bootloop you have to go into TWRP and flash caches. It is not a solution though as the bootloops would occur again. So I decided to dump this ROM. I didn't know what the reason was. I posted a comment on the post of derpfest but I got no reply. Well, I had installed too many magisk modules, which were useful actually. Viper,ICE sound, Dolby Atmos, Audio Modification Library. Can this be the reason?? Is there something called "Module Overload" exist?
2. POSP
Here I only didn't face the bootloop problem but faced others mentioned above. So I got rid of it before it begins the stucking in bootlogo problem.

Evolution X has also a bug, the ported screen recorder doesnt support internal audio recording but great recorder because of 60 fps reolution. Only the default recorder works.
Anyone tried havocOS?
Hi, I was considering installing Pixel Experience plus on my phone. Do I need to have coloros or any specific version of realme ui to install it? I'm currently on Realmeui v11_c.05. I haven't rooted/flashed a recovery yet and plan to do it tomorrow. Should I download coloros before trying to flash this rom?
P.s Thank you for your detailed post, I was quite confused between PE/PE+, evox and derpfest.
