[OnePlus 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] AlkaliV2:
First, this is a development thread; not a place air your grievances with the state of the ROM. That means that only certain types of posts go here:

1.) Bug Reports (With logs and/or steps to reproduce them)

2.) Feedback about ROM usability

3.) Fixes/workarounds for users encountering bugs

4.) Reporting all other

useful

information

The simple fact that we have an excellent and stable alternative to OxygenOS this soon after the device was released is not only a testament to the skill of the developers who are working on this device, but also their dedication to getting it working as quickly as they did. If the developers aren't able to fix a bug, it is because it isn't being reported in the correct way. There are a few times, like with Sultanxda where the framework of CM gets in the way of fixes, but I think just by reading his post HERE you can see he has put immense work into it. I can't imagine the effort it takes to track down reported bugs and differentiate between real bugs and people who instead of installing ROMs properly do things like: Flash CM13 over OOS, Flash CM14 over CM13, and don't know anything about firmware. Reporting an issue isn't saying, "I have a bug" and waiting for them to find it and fix it. It is up to the user, who puts the software on their phone for personal use, taking the time to help make it better. Cyanogenmod is community driven software. That doesn't just mean a community of developers, it also means a community of testers and people who want to improve it; not just seek to serve themselves.

So if you're not happy with the state of the software you can take it upon yourself to help the developers through testing or use OxygenOS instead. Learn, troubleshoot, develop, and help--those are the things we do in development threads. If you aren't here to help then you have no reason to post here.

*Look at the amount of commits (in green and red) that have been added and removed by Grarak for just our device tree. That should give you some idea about how hard they are working.

There is not a single official release of CM14 to make a comment of quality on. You and I both know these unofficial CM14 builds made in other threads are just CM14 at the core with whatever cherry-picked commits will fix phone calls, fingerprint sensor, wifi, and all the other complaints being passed around through non-official channels. They are in no way indicative of the work done by the CM devs and definitely do not speak to the quality of CM14 as a whole. When official nightlies do start developers are going to need members who know how to test and provide proper bug reports in these threads and you've done that before. Hopefully you will continue to contribute.
