CarbonRom vs OmniRom [8.x/oreo] - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Do you prefer (why?) CarbonRom or OmniRom based on 8.X/Oreo?
Thanks

The OmniROM has a very annoying brightness issue. I'll try the CarbonROM

Feature wise, they are quite on par (for what I use). I mildly prefer CarbonROM for it's more AOSP appearance, though I have to admit Omni has better battery life and is a bit more stable.
But hey, Carbon has only been released and Omni hasn't been around for long either. Surely both can/will improve. Anyways, it's nice having 2 Oreo roms and many active developers.

is there any other difference now for instance is the camera better on Omni or in CarbonROM and some things like that?

I've tried both and faced frequent call drops on both ROMs. Reverted back to stock .291. Since, then no such issue. Have anyone faced call drop issue on Oreo.

What custom ROMs are available for Droid Turbo?

I tried Computer Freak and CM 12 Nightly. I like CM but when taking videos it buzzes.
What other options are there?
Resurrection Remix, and Mokee.
I've had no trouble with CM12.1, so I have stayed with it. Resurrection Remix has gotten lots of praise.
RR is basically a combination of a ton of ROMs, including CM. I've been using RR for two days now, and I can vouch for its stability. It's a lot smoother for me than stock ever was, and the battery life so far is impressive for a custom ROM.
The best is computerfreek's latest. Absolutely no lag ever. Awesome battery.

TL;DR: The three CM-based ROMs are all very similar. They aren't as smooth as a stock-based ROM, though tweaking kernel settings can help. Computerfreek's ROM is the smoothest, but lacks much of the customization of a CM-based ROM, though Xposed and GravityBox can help.
Computerfreek's is by far the smoothest of the bunch. You can get the CyanogenMod-based ROMs to a similar level of smoothness if you tweak the kernel settings a little, but they're still more inconsistent than Computerfreek's. I also find that the CF ROM to have slightly better battery life since you need more aggressive kernel settings to get a smooth experience on CM-based ROMs. On the other hand, CM, RR, and Mokee are much more customizable due to their CM base. Much of the customization can be replicated on the CF ROM using GravityBox, but I find that the native tweaking works better and there is no replacement for the excellent CM theme engine. The ability to install baybutcher27's kernel and tweak those settings on CM-based ROMs might also be enticing. As for which CM-based ROM to pick, they're all obviously very similar. CM is great; stability and smoothness are pretty solid. I prefer RR myself since there are a few extra options and performance seems similar. Mokee is my least favorite - the other two seem to run a little better for me and some customization features are missing here, but you can't go wrong with Mokee either.
Personally, I've spent the past few weeks switching between ComputerFreek's ROM and RR. I love the buttery smoothness and consistency of a stock ROM, but the customizability and theme engine of RR just keep pulling me back. I'm on RR right now and hope to stay there until Marshmallow, but who knows.

Few questions concerning Resurrection Remix

Hi everybody,
as I'm new to all these flashing custom ROMs stuff, I would like to get answers to some questions concerning Resurrection Remix and the OnePlus 3T.
First of all, how stable is this ROM on said Smartphone? Comparable to Oxygen OS? Maybe even better?
Is the camera-quality as good as stock Oxygen OS?
Are OTA Updates provided or do I have to manually update new updates of Resurrection Remix?
Do I have to pay attention to something when flashing it on my vanilla OnePlus 3T (no root, just out-of-the-box)?
Thanks in advance!
The RR rom on the OP3T is awesome. Very stable, more than stock I'd say. Definitely feels smoother and faster. I made the OP3T into a near identical pixel experience (I had one). Battery life anecdotally seems to last longer. Like I said, it's awesome.
Camera is simply not as good and if you prioritize the camera this ROM is probably not for you. Photos are clear when gotten just right and the image quality is there after a separate file you need to flash, plus you can get the stock OP3T camera minus a few features (HDRa) and HD video recording at 60FPS I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But focus and shutter speed suffer, a lot.
I ran into a few apps that would not work properly, like Duo and a few others plus other XDA members mentioning apps don't work. This for me was a deal breaker. Had it not been for Duo, I'd still be on it. My family uses this extensively.
But.... This has to be expected. It's development after all. The customization options are amazing. I really like RR rom on this op3t. I'd say try it out.
RR is my favorite ROM on OP3T - it has tons of features and always works reliable. I update about every two weeks.

I tried today ZeNiTy-Resurrection-Remix-N-[EAS]-[OMS]-[Optimized]-[3/3T] by ZeNiXxX, i think it's better for camera (OOs camera)
Reliable? Yes. As reliable as stock.
Camera? Eh, no. You lose slow motion video, HQ and you kinda lose HDR.
Ota? No. You have to flash. But you don't have to lose your data, you can dirty flash updates.
There are tutorials on how to flash stuff and what to look out for.
With the exception of the camera, the RR Rom is awesome and has tons of customization options. My favorite is the ability to even customize the carrier logo and battery status indicator. Super stable and buttery smooth.
Thanks a lot for your advices! Think I will stay with OxygenOS as camera-quality is pretty important for me.
Camera quality is important to me as well, so I tried out Oxygen-based FreedomOS. It's a great compromise between stock OxygenOS while still having some custom features. You don't get all the customization that you get with Lineage or RR, but you do get a few nice things, plus you can get uninstall OxygenOS default apps if you plan on replacing them with Google Apps. So far it's been my go-to.
I would personally say CM 13 is better than RR, CM 13 is MM based rom and all the apps including xposed are supported and theme engine is also available. unlike RR, camera is also good in CM13, battery life is also excellent about 7 to 9 hours of Screen on Time can be expected. I used RR for couple of weeks, there are of course bugs which will irritate us, you can opt CM13 in my opinion. If you want Anddoid N for the sake of having latest version, you can opt RR.

For nougat it gives max 3-4 hour SOT, because my battery has ruined without no gaming, only mobile data, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, Facebook. With total time on 16 hour.
For OREO it gives max 4-5 hour SOT, because my battery has ruined without no gaming, only mobile data, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, Facebook. With total time on 21 hour.

I haven't use Cosmic - OS so I can't compare with it.
Currently I'm using AEXmod OREO by DennySPB. It really stable as daily drivers and get routine weekly update, some people report that this ROM doesn't have VOLTE support, I can't verify it because VoLTE not supported at my place.
Sorry for my language too amazing for understanding. [emoji28]

JDCteam 7.1.2 wins hands down as far as speed (and stability) go. I've tried several other roms and always kept coming back to JDC. It's the fastest and most fluid rom by far, and it's bug free. There is also oreo beta version that is equally fast and fluid, but it's still beta and doesn't have all the features so I'm sticking with 7.1.2 as a daily driver. There is also bb kernel for JDC which I have tried but didn't notice a big difference in performance or battery between stock kernel that comes with JDC rom, so I am using stock. Newer firmware as well (v7.12.14 currently).
I am surprised that people here often recommend some roms that either are not fully functional (PA 7.3.1 doesn't have call volume adjuster for example), or that are utterly slow (latest AEX 7.1.2 for example, very laggy). I don't mean to bash the mentioned roms, I respect the people that develop them, but I wouldn't recommend them as daily drivers.

Whats your opinion on LOS? I have used LOS several times and briefly Mokee Rom. But I kept coming back to MIUI Developer. Is JDC better than LOS at present. I use only one phone so stability is a huge concern.
Great if you can share screenshot of this rom for comparing to the stock one.

Yes. From my experience JDC is more fluid than LOS and LOS based roms, and I have not experienced any instability so far.
I always do a clean flash, currently on last JDC 7.1.2 / Gapps pico / v7.12.14 firmware

I almost forget with JDC Nougat, it's been long time since I open xda for searching ROM, it's good nougat ROM with minimal costumization.
Yes the latest official AEX with stock kernel not so good, try with Nagatobimaru kernel and you will get good performance.
What I mean in my post is AEXmod by DennySPB, It does not release at xda but at telegram. Maybe you can try, for first time reboot it little bit slower because app optimization, but after reboot it gives me good performance and battery life comparing with nougat based ROM.

There's official version of RR ROM in xda, but it is final version, so won't be updated anymore. Here is the link :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-v5-8-0-t3508390
In my previous post, it is unofficial version. The developers still maintain the ROM and update it if there are any changes on RR base.

last time I used PA ROM, I didn't noticed any annoying bugs, it's stable for daily use.
But it only has little costumization.
For battery life, any nougat ROM have almost same battery life, just little difference 30 minutes SOT usually.

Which ROM do you suggest for battery life? My Mi5 is a year and a half old and the screen time is only 4h on LOS, on a youtube video of 15 min the battery discharge of 5%, is that normal? PS. The bringhtness is set to 30%
I just tried dot os, and im in love with it!! It almost as same as jdc in term of speed, i hope it got a final update where the bugs is all gone, i found a tiny bugs that is not affect performance such as cannot change user's pic, setting in dot extras forced closed when tried to turn off camera sound, and many settings that require to be turned off and on before it works properly, but this is the best rom since JDC in my opinion, hmmmm, havent tried that rr tho, is it so different from that laggy official one?
What I can say, since I want a light but full working ROM, is to go with Xiaomi.eu ROM which has all Miui functions without unnecessary app and battery life, speed, ram management are way better. Unlike other ROM you have not to fix many things not working and set stuff. For example many roms got problems with camera (front or back) so you have to find a solution and since I want things already working I put Xiaomi.eu ROM on my phone and I can be safe.
But actually I'm thinking to try Miui 7 last version because it was the fastest and with better battery consumption. It misses a lot of new features which slow the phone.

I should say that I agree with you. Best ROM considering speed and stability is the xiaomi.eu rom. But LOS and JDC Nougat ROMs are also stable and bug free. If you want a near stock android experience you should try one of them. LOS is better imo as they provide weekly builds. otherwise better to go with the xiaomi.eu ROM.
I have a bad image retention with my display so sadly I'll have to stick with LOS for the rest of the future of my mi5 ....

What rom(Pie) do you guys use as a daily driver?

Hey guys, can you recommend me a custom pie rom for Oneplus 3T? I have been reading about Pixel Experience Rom & LineageOS. I'm unsure about which one to go. I mostly use my phone for messaging, calls and reddit/instagram/quora and stuff. I don't use my phone for gaming. So, what rom would you guys suggest for a daily driver.
Thanks!
For a long time Msm Extended. Stable and full of customization.
I'm on SkyDragon and quite happy with it. Very fast due to chip specific optimizations, has enough customization options, no apparent bugs at this point.
Tbh any ROM will do if you're not a demanding user so just try something

Well honestly I like simpler interface that's why I mentioned Pixel Experience and LineageOS. Who among them would be a better choice?

Well, apart from ROM specific customizations menues (which you can simply ignore if you don't wanna tinker with it) they all use stock AOSP interface, so they're all pretty much the same in that aspect.
I haven't personally tried (yet) those two that you mentioned, simply because SkyDragon was first Pie ROM that I tried after a bit of research and then I didn't feel the need to change it. I would assume however that LOS can't be a bad choice; I've used it before (older Android versions) on multiple devices and was always satisfied with it. It is still in beta though so some minor bugs are to be expected.
HAVOC, SKYDRAGON, MSM(next release)
I would highly encourage you to use NLOS 16. It's a stock LOS 16 build with developer's cherry picks to add more stability. There no extra gimmicks or customization than what you will find in a LOS build. Instead, it's more stable and bit better on optimizations that stock LOS build. I would highly recommend you to try it if you want to chose from LOS and Pixel Experience.

Is it stable? - Yes, during my 1 week usage with it, it was a stable ROM.
Battery Life - Your usage is different than mine. No one can answer this question for you. You need to flash and try and then see for yourself if the battery life is good for your usage. Someone who watches a lot of netflix or youtube can have 6 hours SOT and will call the battery life great. On the other hand, with 4G 100% time connected, and lot of location access, phone calls, high brightness usage, i am lucky if I have 4 hours SOT at the end of day. So, rather than asking battery life questions, just try the ROM and see for yourself. It has all basic functions working so you won't lose on anything. It's the beauty of custom ROMs. If you don't like one, switch to other one of use stock till you find the one ROM that works for you.
AOSiP
I have tried every pie rom , nothing can match AOSiP in smoothness and stability
Havoc Os, the best pie rom ever...
Using closed beta. Bugs are present
I use LineageOS 16, and it's the best of ROMs for me.
I like AOSP style OS, and I have ~5 hours of active screen.
DU -> Havoc -> Closed Beta ... I can not decide and jump between this 3 roms...
Currently NitrogenOS...no bugs, very smooth, great battery life

omnirom support

omnirom is the best smoothest rom ever seen and probably one of the most stable
it combine the best of all rom( the smoothness of aosp and nitrogen, the low latency of mokee/lineage os and it maintain performance over time)
hope it get some builds
i tried for years lots of rom . i can say omni is the best of all. on op5t omnirom is the smoothest rom, even codename proenix is smooth but discontinued
i tested a lot of devices. omni is very well made custom rom. pixel experience is ok but over time performance degraded like los
