In comparison to Xiaomi's MIUI how is the Oxygen Os?
Does it have...
Call recording option in dialler without any third party software.
Something like a security app to clean cache, scan for virus's and grant permission for apps.
Inbuilt backup and restore option which backup all user data plus apps user made data to cloud.
Power options to change power saving profile according to time and restart the sevice automatically at given time like 6am.
And if you have used both MIUI and OOS... who do you think is better?

Get a Mi phone for all those features plus a mi phone will have better support for miui roms. Oxygen os is close to stock with some little functional tweaks. it doesn't have anything fancy like miui. But if you would ask me which rom is better i would say oos. it's simple clean less gimmicky. Hope this helps you.
Hi,
If you want to try MIUI, I suggests, buy Mi5... A MIUI port won't stable than an original one.
From my perspective: MIUI is really beautiful... If you see the screenshots.... You should try it. I think, everyone tried at least once... But for daily driver? No way. If you ever used AOSP based roms (oos, cm, etc), you won't use MIUI. I'm 80% sure, that you'll replace the original launcher. Than you'll sick some annoying incompatibles... Just look at MIUI forums. Problems with pop-up windows (for example Facebook messanger), problems with Android Pay, etc, etc.
I was ordered Mi5 (4/128G), but it went to out of stock, so I got refund... That was my luck. Now, I'm a happy OP3 user, and I don't need MIUI... That's my opinion.
As someone who previously always used stock or near stock ROMS, I currently own a Xiaomi Mi5. I ran with Miui for about a few weeks, but it really frustrated the hell out of me. Yes it looks nice, but I was always finding background apps just randomly stopped working or you had to allow extra security settings. I tried Google Now Loader on it, but that randonmly stopped working. In the end, I've flashed CM on it. So much better.
Going from a stock or near stock rom to MIUI is like going from Android to Apple. I will be returning my Mi5 to stock and selling on, as I now have a OP3 on the way.
Another reason - community support for OP3 is already strong. The Mi5 support thread is a joke.

why dont you try the hos
for me OOS is better than miui. as i prefer stock android ui than heavily skinned miui.
MIUI 8 is cool- looking, feature-rich, but i just dont like the ios lookalike UX.
I have bad experiences with Oxygen in OP1 and 2, always uses CM or H20 ,
but if you are wondering about phones which running those 2 OS - Xiaomi mi5 and OP3, i think i should go for OP3, MI5 looks cheap with white color,and huge bezels
All the features you mentioned are available in the Chinese rom for OnePlus phones. Call recording is there, extra app permissions lockdown, etc. You'll have to install GApps manually if you need it.
The OP3 isn't on that page yet but should be soon.
Hope to See a miui rom for the op3 soon. Now using the mi launcher on it.

I think both are not compareable. They try to reach different goals (MIUI feature rich and pretty colorful while OOS wants to add some features but stay close to stock). It depends mainly on the user.
I will be happy with tweaked OOS once my device will be delivered while you can count on custom ported MIUI roms. There's not that better one imho

It mean "call recording" is not available in Oxygen?
I expect your answer to flash Oxygen. My OP3 is running H20 and if it isn't "call recording", i will not flash.
all oxygen is is stock android with a few apps from oneplus. plus it supports layers themeing. so yes IMO its almost as good as getting a nexus and much better than miui.
OOS on a Mi5?
I'm not sold on the aesthetic and a couple aspects of the OP3, I quite prefer the Mi5. I'm strongly considering attempting to load OxygenOS onto the 4/128gb Mi5 as my next phone and it sounds like people in this thread might have direct experience with this setup.
Any thoughts/tips? I unfortunately can't wait for the new Nexus phone(s) but I'm also considering a couple phones from ZTE & Huawei...
Thanks
Porting OxygenOS would be hard and pointless at this point, because Mi5 doesn't even have kernel sources and a working AOSP ROM. If you really want iOS lookalikes, I would recommend OPPO phones. They didn't release flagship for a couple years, but at least they know how to develop software well. R7 Plus has even Cyanogenmod 13, I believe.

Thanks but I specifically don't like iOS and wanting a phone that doesn't look like an iPhone is part of the draw towards the Mi5. That R7 Plus is an interesting phone, but for me the screen is too big and the CPU & GPU are quite subpar.
No one who makes a smartphone for the US has made one with the specs I'm looking for. OP3 falls short, the Nexus 6P is too far behind now, I find the Galaxy S7 to be hideous, the G5 was a disappointment. The HTC 10 is the closest bet but it's battery life sucks probably due to its pointlessly 4K screen.
The Huawei P9, Honor V8, ZTE Nubia Z11, and the Mi5 Pro are my top contenders at the moment, but there's no way I'm using their own OSs.
IMO Samsung is a big disappointment, because of their weird things like Knox.
boy i hate miui.. its known to bring gingerbread memory leak issues to marshmellow ! hahaha on the mi5 it restarts apps unnecessarily lol
Gingerbread didn't have memory leaks... or I've not experienced them while I was using it. In comparison, lollipop and above always had them on my Z2. That's why I started porting SailfishOS

I'm using the Mi launcher too. The look and feel of Miui and the best of OOS or Exodus Rom
OOS is great out of the box - stock Android with goodies (and useful goodies at that). Really stable and fast.
And since it's very near to stock Android, many Xposed modules work, so you can customize it much very easily.
It is beyond me why someone could prefer MIUI over that.
I do not have a lot of experience loading custom roms. Is this pretty easy to do? Last time I tried this was with the original Motorola Droid (the one with slide out keyboard).
Does it make the Nexus 7 run much faster?
I have not been keeping track of the benefits of Android 7 vs older versions, are there compelling advantages to Nougat?
It seems like a good idea to try before upgrading to a new tablet. Lots of people seem to think upgrading the 2013 Nexus 7 to Nougat is better than getting a new Android tablet.
i think that, if you dont really use the nougat features, like double tap the recent key to switch to a recent app or split screen, youre better off with stock MM. I really like nougat but in order to make it work smoothly i have to install purenexus and elementalx kernel. Otherwise it would lag

I've been running LineageOS Nougat on my WiFi Nexus 7 for quite a while, and I really like it. I found it super easy to install, and really haven't had any issues. I'd say I'm intermediate in my Android knowledge, and this is the only device I've played around with custom ROM's on. Other than the OS itself, I haven't had to install any other addon or separate kernel, except I install SuperSU for root.
It is faster for me, almost certainly, and I know the battery life has been a lot better for me than MM. Some of the Nougat features are really cool - I like the finer-grain notification control especially, and the greater start-up control.
My experience, it was dead slow, had to wipe cache weekly to keep it running.

Interestingly enough, I find the same is true on my galaxy S7 edge since the Nougat update. A weekly cache clear to keep it from lagging. Makes me wonder if Nougat is actually a nugget.
Does LineageOS Nougat work with the LTE 4G version and is that the only reliable N version available for our device?
Id like to stick Android N on this thing, its such an awesome bit of kit and still serves me well, everything about it is still great for me.. Its still used daily, all throughout the day..
probably screen-on time. On 6.0.1 purenexus i had 6/7hours sot watching yt videos. On 7.1.2 purenexus i have close to 5 hours sot.
better off staying on mm with dirtyunicorn or PA
Heya there,
This question would fall on both performance & battery, what ROM do you guys prefer that hits both keys decently?
I'm looking for one that is beyond the default 4.2.2 Android because of incompatible apps with that version.
Max
From XDA, I only tested lineage 14.1 and viper 2.1, and both perform really good being viper the one which I felt was the fastest and lightweight and with some stuff fixed over lineageos (usb thetering, wifi hotspot, some minor crashes, etc).
Being those two the ones that are most up to date and both are on android 7.1.2
Cosmic OS , android 4.4.4

It gives the best performance so far out of any custom OS , you can also try AOSP 5.1.1 by pawtip. Later android version make the phone very sluggist in a week or month.
I have tried Pie roms but they are not as stable as Oreo. Especially in games like PUBG where there are glitches.
Anyone else on a stable Oreo rom? Which rom and why? (Do mention Android version to avoid confusion.)

I'm on bootleggers 3.0 last oreo build with derp 2.8 Kernel i tried almost all ths oreo ROMs and this one is my favorite , you should try it once :good:
yes,
I am using Cardinal AOSP and pretty much happy with this ROM ! :fingers-crossed:
you can try it
Yaps i still on orea , i have tried most of pie rom available for our device but all of them has some kind of glitches and not enough customization as in oreo ,so i will stay in oreo untill pie rom as stable as oreo and has enough customization.
yep, still using aosip oreo rom, it's the first rom i flash after unlocking bootloader, pretty much stable for my daily use
I'm still on AOSiP Oreo, pretty much since I've bought the phone back in June (used RR for some 10 days maybe), and have briefly tried Pixel Experience, but back when it just came out.
Oreo roms are still more stable than Pie, although for my kind of usage I could even go for Pie, but I don't want to give up Xposed just yet.
It would be nice to have another update for Oreo roms with updated blobs, but I guess exactly 0 devs share this opinion so there's that.
@Cirra92
What"s wrong with AOSP PIE roms ? I"m using PE right now. Apart from "not perfect" standby battery drain, broken manual network selection, broken 5GHz hotspot and that time when MIUI camera refused to record a video (fixed it by rebooting the phone) there isn"t much to complain about. PIE roms seems stable to me

Well I didn't state anywhere that they are unstable, I have just said that Oreo roms are still more stable which means more refined and bugs (mostly, or at least the major noticeable ones) ironed out. You have named couple of bugs already, there are also couple of bigger ones, not supported SD card formats, unstable network handoffs (4G->3G->2G), some roms have WiFi bugs. And that's normal, count in the time put in Oreo roms, and on the other hand Pie roms, as with each major Android release, new bugs arrive, some harder to fix, some easier.
And another note I want to make (mentioned in previous post) that for my particular usage, Pie roms are probably suitable enough, though it depends when will I decide to switch and give up on GravityBox and XInsta (mainly the latter).
Pie roms are certainly getting polished, and are already daily driver material for most people, but still, not everyone.
Revolution OS in combination with latest Deep Kernel.
Perfect for me. Smooth, no lags, fast and awesome battery life
What do you guys think about android 11 right now ?
Still too early or fine for daily use now ?
What's the most annoying bug you found ?
In case someone can recommend me some rom that met my requirements. I just need some basic stuff.
Must have
- Call recording
- FPS info
- Built in firewall
- Home screen apps protect and hide
- Vanilla Build
Extra bonus points, nice to have / not so important but cool if they got these feature
- Clipboard notification toast
- Built in screen recorder
- Signature spoofing
- Wakelock blocker
I am not into modification, so no comment about those, just need some features above.
So far based on android 10, my fav rom that have these function
-Havoc OS
-Crdroid
-Nusantara
Still waiting those roms get stable android 11
Impressed by android 11 privacy features :highfive:
The best with all those features have Evolution ROM for Android 10. They released the first Android 11 ROM this month so far it's good but it's lacking a lot of features so it will take time maybe 3-4 months to get a good stable any ROM with Android 11.
