I've been trying different ROM and each one seems to have their own unique hiccups. I'm looking for a ROM that stable and have all the features as a stock ROM. So far the closest to that is Aurora Full Note7 by Lanc-City. The only issues I'm having is that it sometimes it lag, mms group text doesn't work, and charging does not charge right.
[ROM] Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2 (8/24/16) [910T/910W8/910T3] has been good, however, the dev has moved on so there is no continued development on it.

If you want everything working then go stock, root, install xposed with your favorite modules and get a good launcher.
I go back and forth between stock and project L ROM by Lanc-City.

I was using EPJ2 for a while and it's the best stock update so far. Had no issues with barely any lag. But I rooted I am now using Aurora 3.1 since I miss my note 7 lol. I had to use Textra since group messaging isn't working and no wifi calling. It's so far filling that void. I'm sure a lot of ex note 7 users can relate.
AICP and Broken are amazing
My daily driver, seemingly forever, will remain Emporia ROM (AKA Rapture ROM) on 5.1.1 Lollipop
I don't have an explanation why, but this ROM is WAY more fluid in every single aspect of the UI than any other ROM on marshmallow or Lollipop, and I have tried them all. Yes I am aware you can set animation speeds to be faster, etc. But even with them set to the default speed of 1x (I default use .5x for most), the entire ROM is more FLUID. Each transition is more smooth, every app opens faster and without lag, scrolling in every single app is WAY more fluid, etc. I actually noticed a huge visual difference between this ROM and stock or custom MM. The user experience is just way better in every way than Maximum Overdrive, Stock MM, Stock LL, etc.
Battery life is approximately the same for me on both MM and LL using Greenify on both. Doze doesn't seem to make a difference at all for me, when using greenify on both versions of Android. I get within 15 minutes of SOT on either one, so battery life is practically the same.
Finally, Lollipop still has all the features that Samsung so foolishly removed in MM! Namely, Smart Select is still amazing, it still has the engine for optical character recognition that is missing in MM, it still can select multiple things, and it can still open apps if it detects and address/phone number/etc!
So, basically, Emporia is the best ROM for me, and I have literally tried all of them. I do miss the full screen action memo's of Lollipop, but the extreme speed and fluidity throughout the system, never encountering a single bug, and the amazing features still present in Smart Select beat out all the insignificant improvements of MM.
Plus, I ported an AOSP theme for the notification area to Emporia ROM, that makes it a much more lovely experience.

My daily driver is the N5/N7_6.0.1_port V1 and I use Nova launcher, a dark icon pack, dark wallpaper and (Google-inspired) Material Design dark from the samsung theme store. Basically looks like clean, dark AOSP on top and has all the Samsung features underneath.
Everything from the font and theming is smaller and more refined in the Note 5 which makes a huge difference to me and really is a big reason why the Note 5's screen looks more nicer than the Note 4 screen imo (they're both 1440p!).
Everything is quite stable but the stock camera app doesnt work (for me, I dont know abt others) (I use a third party app) and I also use a third party app for video playback (I cant find the stock video app). Keep in mind this is a chinese n5 port and there is some chinese characters next to the time and date. Time to brush up on some chinese I guess. (I havent seen any other chinese on it thou lolz)
Its pretty good for a port though based on fluidness. And yes I tried the Emporia ROM recommended earlier. I loved it and everything WaterMan said was true but the Note 4 default theming and fonts are too big imo for a quad HD screen. Also that's where I got my inspiration to get the Material Design dark theme so my notification bar and settings look like stock aosp (Thanks WaterMan!).
I also use a snapdragon-optimized chromium browser so its more snappier.
And that's my daily driver, for now. Lolz
PS: be sure to upgrade to EPE3 (6.0.1) before flashing.

The stock camera was working fine for me...the sports shot, food shot, etc. extensions weren't.
Can you post some screenshots of your setup? ?

I've never used those features before Now I want them!
Here you go!
The red icons are purposely not coherent (egg).
For a minimalistic dark setup, simplistic dark black and/or grey icons maybe some sophistication but very minimal and clean.
I took pics of Material design dark and Material design black themes. (Disclaimar: black theme is $1)
Wallpaper from 244 Quad HD Wallpapers for Galaxy Note 4 collection on XDA.
Material design black
I'm using CM-Remix but it's giving me mad problems. Mainly, the Google app keeps crashing and it locks up when rebooting, sometimes requiring 2 or 3 reboots or wiping cache. It's godawful annoying but my hatred for TouchWiz is the only reason I torture myself with this ROM.
I'm looking for a new ROM myself. Looks like a new build of DirtyUnicorns is coming very soon. I may give that another shot.

Weird because I'm using it and I don't have any problems!!
I've been on AICP for several months, very stable. Resurrection Remix is getting close to being pretty stable, it crashes the phone when uninstalling apps - only problem I found that prevented me from dailying it.
Gonna try going back to TW for a while for better camera usage, will be flashing Overdrive 6.0.1 for the first time.

Looks like it but mine was done via OTA before I decided to root.

I have no clue what's going on with my phone as every ROM I tried is either lagging, freeze, or randomly reboot. I'm thinking about going back to stock. When I was on stock it would lag as well but not as bad as what I'm experiencing now. I'm currently using my phone without my microsd card to see if that is the culprit.
For many of us, OnePlus 5 could be an upgrade and for many others this could be their first OnePlus device! Either way, here are some of the best tips and tricks to master you OnePlus 5.

I for one am quite enjoying my OP5 and love the dual camera setup.
What are your favorite OnePlus 5 tips?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
Interesting video. While checking that I had "Pocket mode" turned on I discovered a way to do a nightly reboot which I previously did through a crontab script. I will say that I'm fairly impressed with which "dev" features they chose to bake into OOS4.x.
What I would have liked better is if they fully supported the Substratum theme engine. OOS capable Substratum themes are on the Playstore and some theme GAPPS without the need to replace those apps with theme ready versions. I'm currently using the Swift Black theme.
Despite the dev commenting that they haven't tested it on the OP5. All I needed to do was update to the beta Chrome v59+ and Substratum Swift Black themed everything without error. There is a slight variation of that theme called Swift Dark.
Substatum enabling in OOS would save OnePlus development costs and open up a much wider world of theming. Their built in theme capabilities are limited compared to what the various Substratum themes can accomplish. Be aware that not all Substratum themes support OOS so do a search on the Playstore before buying any Substratum themes. To use SubStratum you need to be rooted that is why it would be more convenient if OnePlus had it integrated within OOS plus they could provide a few "OnePlus" exclusive themes.
I'm running freedom ces. It's super smooth it's just missing customization lol. I have tried a few themes but they didn't turn out great. What's some of the stable oos/legacy themes out there? Also do the font substratum packages work with oos?

you could try out spectrum or swiftblack and it depends on what colors you are opting for.
Using Swiftblack here, and it works perfect. And very fast updates after app releases with graphical changes
I am using Andromeda and Substratum for theming my Oneplus 3T. Currently Flux Theme works quite good but wanna know what other themes works good with Oxygen OS. I tried a couple of themes but some of them didn't worked. So asking everyone to share themes they know works.
Also does anyone know how to make Quick Setting Background complete black?

I have found that Swift Dark, Swift Black and Ozone are the only full functional themes for 3T. Currently, I am using swift dark theme. It works flawlessly.
transparent oreo/oxygen/nougat theme work on op3t
and Valerie
Which do you prefer and why. I have used both and can't figure out which one I like better so I'm reaching out to the community for their opinion lol. If you say substratum what is a good theme for Substratum?
i like them both, and often do a mix up with the 2 of them!
I like linear and Victory right now..

glorified nova prime launcher. I have no desire to implement another UI look than stock or nova.
I like the theme store better. For one I am not rooted and that makes substratum inconvenient to use. Even when I had a rooted Pixel and Pixel 2 most of the themes would never apply correctly. Maybe that's more to do with the theme developer than substratum but either way that's my experience. With Samsung themes I have had little to no problems with themes applying correctly since I started using it on my old Note 5. My only wish is that Samsung would allow for apps to be themed instead of just the system itself.
Thread cleaned.

So I was actually talking about the app Theme Galaxy where you can do a lot of customization like substratum.
