Dear all, I am wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to which third party A11 rom is most stable.
I am not looking for a lot of features, just basic stuff similar to Oxygen OS, which is stuck on A10.
It seems that DerpFest is the most active one, is it stable though?
I used PixelExperience for another device, it was OK with minor bugs, wonder how stable PE for Oneplus 5T is.
Thank you all! Much appreciated!
I have used DerpFest A11 for a while. Haven't had any major problems with it. Calls, Messages and Mobile Data were working fine. Battery life was perfect. In my opinion, that's the most stable one for OP5T atm.
Thank you for sharing it!
Although I have to say "Calls, Messages and Mobile Data were working fine" is such a low bar to set...
Any minor issue you have encountered?
Update for anyone who has similar question:
Just stick with OOS. None of the third party options ever come close to it.

try DerpFest 12, you will never return to oos again.
even I had same opinion like you before trying it, now even if volte is broke idc.

Volte not working is a deal breaker to me. Beside I heard that dual-sim is not working.
I mean, to each of their own, but these all feel like fundamental flaw to me and you cant put a "stable" label on it not matter how much you like it.
I have tried derp11 and instantly returned to OOS, it is not where near polished as OOS.

It's just been 30hrs I'm on PIE and i already miss xposed lol and wondering whether i can't survive without it or not, given that animations are really smooth and i like them and battery life for me has improved since no ' Xposed ', so I'm still in a doubt what to do
Why did you guys switched back to oreo?
I didn't yet, but basically i hate two things:
Chrome cannot be downgraded to version 65 and so I'm unable to use address bar on the bottom;
Recent apps view. That thing makes me wanna smash the phone into a wall around 5 times per day. This is by far the most annoying so called feature ever. I hate it. Hate it.
The Split screen was also ruined by ****ing recent apps view.
What i like is the magnifying cursor and the new screenshots editing function, which is really cool.
And the sound controls I don't mind.
By the way, is there any chance to have the latest security patches if i go back to Oreo?

If you go back to July 8.1, your security patches are likely done since google is now on 9.0. As are the kernel and rom developers.

Oh you will most definitely have to do a clean install and wipe to downgrade my friend. Hahahahahaha...I bet you'll be backing your device up once a week after what happened the other day. That's not a bad habit to have though :good:
I try not to flash backwards Plus a like the taste of Pie!
Just to add, I've not yet decided to upgrade to Pie as I just love RR at the moment too much to want to give up this rom, with all its features and my current setup! I've got it running so smooth, doing all the things I like, with all the little features I need, with a battery life that keeps up with my demands. So given I'd only but lose out with some features, it ain't worth the upgrade for me right now.
Plus indeed this new recents app sounds horrible! Can it be reverted back to the old one, is it compulsory??
When RR Pie gets released, with all the current Oreo features and fully working apps/theme etc. THEN I may be temped to try it out...
My 8.1 OS had trouble booting, bootloops, and messages of corruption. So I upgraded to 9.0 and things have been pretty good except for a WiFi tethering bug with my PS4, other devices connect properly but multiple PS4s either drop connection and get just a few kbps. Probably going to downgrade because of that
I switched because I need to have Viper with Dolby

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which rom you are using and the reason behind it.
I am using xiaomi.eu 10.2 stable, I am basically using it because of stability. I previously used pixel experience for a while, it was a bit of a hassle to boot it up.Since the dev was inactive and the rom had some bugs I had to use miui which I am not a big fan of.
The goal of this discussion is to find out if anyone is using stock android like roms without any issues.
Thanks

Only downside is the security patch is not up to date

I have the Chinese device, with the Chinese developer vendor image. Installation was just the usual, flash vendor image, flash rom, format data, flash Magisk.
Stock global, because I think MIUI is cool, and I bought this phone for that.

That's about where I was, other than the notification nightmare which made it close to unusable for me. I just couldn't see the point, my conclusion being it's designed for people who like themes, which aren't my cup of tea.
Yeah notifications are a disaster. I thought MIUI was cool and I have all the pixel XL devices too, so I have choices.

There are a couple apps for which I get notifications but no sound, most notably Google Keep and Settle Up. Other than that, I don't have major issue with notifications since 10.2 update.
Stock Chinese ROM with Nova Launcher Prime for me. I like the lack of Google trash, like Chrome, not being needed to use and access the Play Store. Literally the most bloat-free experience after uninstalling the Chinese bloat that isn't needed.
Dev eu rom. Since the first release. Happy with it. No problem at all.
Cn device with global Rom, I like MIUI battery management last all day with heavy use.
Xiaomi.eu weekly with Nova prime on top.
I really like it and notifications work fine it is just a little bit annoying that you have to set app specific settings for them to work properly though.
Guys what's the notification issue you're talking about?
Im on global miui too but i dont know exactly what it is?

Which messaging app are you using? For me, I could never get notifications to work properly with Google Messages, and with the native Messages app, group messaging didn't work, nor does it have a desktop interface. This may have improved with the more recent releases, but Pixel Experience was so good I have no need to bother trying MIUI again (the other big thing it was missing is the smart unlock functionality).
The only thing I'll regret in stock android is the full screen gesture. I love it in miui

Hi everyone.
I am fairly new to ANdroid phones.
Recently I purchased the 9 SE and received yesterday. Absolutely love the form factor and feel as well as the HW but the Xiaomi SW is shocking.
The issues I have are:
1 - Waveup does not work (wile I understand there are inbuilt alternatives DTTW etc, I like using WaveUP)
2 - Unlock with bluetooth (will only work with Xiaomi devices)
3 - Notifications disappear
4 - No LED to nofify of incoming items
5 - Much Mi bloatware that cannot be removed
I am considering flashing XenonHD + Okita Kernel.
Can anyone advise if this will resolve any/all of my issues?
Thanks a million
Basically, yes. But there are other bugs in the aosp roms. Also we have no led light so nothing will fix that.
I would suggest xiaomi.eu 11 it's the fastest and most stable ROM without bloat right now
Either way you need to unlock the bootloader which can take time. I would start that now.

My main gripes are the bloatware and bluetooth at the moment.
Yeah, read about the LED and am a little surprised as this is a very useful feature.
Also the weird way notifications are handled are well, just weird....
While the handset is really nice and sleek the OS is not great at all

Stock Miui 10, I agree with you. All those issues are fixed by xiaomi.eu 11 beta
Bloat removed, notifications working well, generally closer to stock than Miui has ever been

I have updated to 11 stable but unfortunately it has not resolved my issue with smart unlock.
I have a Garmin Vivimove HR and no matter what I do, I cannot get the phone to allow the watch to unlock the phone.
Actually, the phone will not stay connected to the Garmin watch at all.
Very frustrating
Help with Bootloader unlocking and ROM selection
So finally getting round to unlocking Bootloader as I recently bought Sony WH-XB900N and cannot get the phone to make calls via the headset (apparently something to do with (selecting HFP or HSP for the profile - can't find it anywhere in teh settings) and, along with some of the other issues described in my original post, I've had enough of this ROM (MIUI 11.2.0) and Xiaomi believing they are entitled to control how I use a device that I own (Xiaomi are worse than Apple at this point)
Was about to do it earlier with the miflash_unlock tool and received the message "unlock will erase user data" which I didn't realise would happen.
I discontinued the operation.
Will unlocking the Bootloader on the Mi 9SE erase all my data? - If so can anyone advise the best way to proceed?
Also, is there a ROM that will address:
1. Unlock with bluetooth (will only work with Xiaomi devices)
2. Much Mi bloatware that cannot be removed
3. Allow calls from Sony WH-XB900N wireless headset
Thanks for any help.

In the "touchMultiTest" tool, the touch sampling rate remains 0, untill the finger is moved quite a bit, the resultant feedback is abrupt and inaccurate.
Noticable while sniping in PUBG and scrolling slowly.
This is an extremely annoying issue which was nonexistent in Android 11 older 0xygen OS
This problem is present in all the Android 12 builds of OOS/color OS.
Can others confirm this and bring it to OnePlus' attention?
What can i do to let OnePlus know about this on their "community" app?
Quite possibly the app needs to be updated for the feature to work with newer API

Not an app specific issue.
1. If you have a thick case on that doesn't let heat out your SOC might throttle
2. If you have a screen protector /tempered glass on, try without it or try RMA

Tried all that, i can confirm that this is an issue with OOS 12 and Color OS 12.
All the other Android 12 custom ROMS that I've tried, does not have this problem.
Its an issue specific to OOS 12.
This problem has persisted from way back, since the DP2 (Developer Preview 2) release.

Upon further investigation, I think it has something to do with the kernel used in OOS 12 builds
Switch back to OOS11 if it's a problem.

yes, I have resorted to 11.2.10.10 build, but before I did so, I captured and sent OnePlus a log of what I was facing through the feedback app.
lets see how they respond, they asked me to be patient.

I experienced a whole lotta jank on all of their A12 builds. I never got around to installing OB3, but I did install the build that apparently broke everyone's data (oddly it didn't break mine). I think OB2 was by far the most stable build they put out for A12.
I tried PA for a bit but I'm a features guy and went back to OOS11.

What is "monet" ?
Also im currently on the C.44 build of OOS 12 on my LE2125.
Idk what OnePlus did, but the touch "deadzone" issue is non-existent ONLY in PUBG mobile.....things are perfect there.
But its present everywhere else and in all the other games ( PUBG New State, COD Mobile, etc) ...
The touch "deadzone" issue is undeniably apparent now...
Easily observed when switching between "PUBG New State" and "PUBG Mobile"

I was having the issue in the launcher even. In c.60
Even using Facebook and all other apps. During scrolling and holding the scroll with a finger
The problem very well does still persist throughout c.61.
By "system fluency", OnePlus probably means animation improvements.

Hey guys
Running latest PixelOS alioth 12.1 on my poco f3
Sometimes - i dont know why or how my screen will turn off (as per usual) and then it wont turn back on
The finger print sensor implies its still on because of the haptick feedback and the phone is still functioning, except the screen doesnt turn on
Holding the power button resets the phone and then its fine - but i dont know why its doing this
Anyone experience the same or have any info?
Thank you
I'd say seems like an issue with that Custom ROM. You could try asking that question to the specific ROM thread...
Same ROM here and same problem. Also PixelOS is no longer maintained so I'm trying to decide which ROM to switch too.

I'd think Pixel Experience Plus is similar. Altho haven't used either. I use ArrowOS, but that's not a Pixel ROM
I want to take this phone, is it worth it? The reviews on it are both positive and negative. I can't make up my mind.

Now I switched back to Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM because I was missing MIUI Cam & Dolby, but I had a similar issue.
Sometimes while I was on ArrowOS, when I try to turn on the screen it would take 2-3 seconds.. It was a tiny bit annoying
