That's A. A installs SuperSU at install. B is 6.9.8 and hasn't been updated since.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
Ok, I got almost everything..

Just one question now, does it includes oneplus camera ?

As I read, rom B includes miui camera not A.

So, last doubt
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
A has OP3 camera, though the flash is screwy, especially in dark situations. B has MIUI camera, but it's missing a ton of features. I haven't used B in awhile, so I can't say how quality is.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
Flash issue ?

Yeh, I know, it's same cm in 3rd party camera.

Whenever you take pic in dark areas flash used for focus but picture taking timing is wrong, so it's becomes white.

Right ?

This issue is actually hal3 issue in camera HAL.

In oos 3.5.2, it's fixed, so there is hope for for it if we replace camera libs from 3.5.2

.

I will try this tomarrow.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
Yup, you go to use the flash, it flashes, but doesn't take the picture for at least 10 seconds and makes the photo "white" so to say. I haven't tested CM ROMs, so I don't know. B ROM doesn't have this problem, but it lacks a lot of features in the camera itself. No slow mo, or other modes.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
Will you please try to replace this camera.msm8996.so on system/lib/hw

.

This is camera HAL from oos 3.5.2

Maybe it will fix flash issue...

Just take backup before doing this..

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
Didn't work. Broke the camera, and Xposed oddly enough.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
Oops, sorry, my bad then.

Thanks for trying though.

I was able to restore the file, so it's k. ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
This is very interesting. There's the ability to build a ROM for the Nexus 6P, but I honestly have no idea how to make one for OP3, even though the instructions don't really make much sense for other devices.

*edit*

After looking at this a bit more, I may have an idea of how to build for the OP3. I'll do some more testing when I get home. I'm going to try to build off OOS.

For some reason on the latest OTA if you do update from the op download it will not allow you to download Google apps. Way around this is flash op build install the Google apps from that build and once your done take the otas. I'd not Everytime you use Google installer it will get stuck at 4%
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
6.9.29 doesn't have VoLTE at all (unless I honestly missed it in the settings). I also tried flashing SuperSU and Xposed, but got a boot loop. I restored back.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Glad i didnt waste 2 hours downloading it then lol the only build that has volte for me is 9.27
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
It wasn't even in the settings to enable at all (unless I clearly missed it), and the issue I had with SuperSU and Xposed made me restore. But more languages were supported and the MIUI camera was back.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabioplata:
Anyone can upload on MEGA or Drive? thanks

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

MIUI camera was back? any features "mods" ; one hand mode works? read mode schedule?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
I already restored back. MIUI camera was there, but the modes were the same as B ROM. I didn't test one hand mode, as right after I saw VoLTE couldn't be enabled, I restored back.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] siankatabg:
Anyone tried patchrom? I can only get it to bootloop and there is no adb :D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
If you're referring to 6.9.29, then yes people have tried it and have written their experiences. If there's another version you're referring to, I don't think we have then. I was trying to spin up a Linux VM last night to try to build, but Hyper-V was being a PITA, so I couldn't get to it. I'll keep trying, maybe switching to VirtualBox instead or something.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabioplata:
I back to 6-9-8 "B Rom" most part for the camera, I would like try this room because in my country dont use a VOLTE, it the only bug? problems with GAPS?

But I wait for a mirror because I don't have baidu account.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] siankatabg:
Ahh, yeah. I'm referring to building with the newly released patchrom. I've tried with 3.2.6 oos as base, but I'm new in this and I'm sure the makefile will need much more work than what I did.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
I can get it to "build", but with Angler (Nexus 6P). I need to grab the ROM from recovery using Linux. I tried building in Windows, but Git was being a PITA as well and complained about some stupid Python module not being on the system (which doesn't exist on Windows). I got everything working using Linux on Windows, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get Linux on Windows to see USB connections. :( I'm of course going to keep trying. I think it was just Hyper-V being a butt, so I'm hoping VirtualBox will give me better results.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] siankatabg:
I got it builded(fullota.zip) with slightly modified angler makefile, but I get bootloop and I can't get adb to work and I can't see what's happening and where the issue is. I'll try someday again and yeah this pulling in recovery was epic(I get few errors there), but patching was easy with only 2 rejects :)

Note: in the 6-9-29 apear a radio FM app but dont work.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Note: If for any reason you make a system wipe, you can't flash 6-9-8 "i don't know why" you need flash 6-9.-20 first, after that you can flash 6-9-8 using a dirty flash.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
So it must have been Xposed that caused the boot loop.

can somebuddy install latest build on gdrive plz
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shafi31:
if your are in 3.5.3 you must be on modified recovery?

1. Flash official recovery with flashify app or fastboot

2. flash 3.2.4 firmware from here(46mb), you are good to go.

3. flash this ROM

if 1st step doesn't work flash firmware and ROM(using modified recovery) then flash official recovery

Note: it is bit complicated to revert from community build

Hey guys so I'm really digging this ROM, I just have a few questions about it because there seems to be a lack of information in English

1. Who actually makes this port, and is there any source code available?

2. What's all this about A and B Roms? I get that one of them is stable and the other is developer, but how do I know if what I'm downloading is A or B?

3. Why is the touch boost insanely high? I turned it down in EX kernel manager and instantly got much better battery life

There is a new build on baidu from Wuxianlin. I will share using my account.

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8rTAsy or you can browse via Wuxianlin baidu account http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mhKK1te

Information that i got from china forum, the update is just patchrom or something (Google Translation is pretty bad LOL). Means bug still present.

Anybody knows what the best build? I have been test 2 MIUI ROM. That is 6.9.8 from Wuxianlin and 6.9.27 by another person. I find the 6.9.8 from Wuxianlin is the best one. But it have the old build means new feature doesn't implemented yet.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
Still cannot use this ROM as much as I'd really like to. I've asked the dev over on the MIUI forums but he/she is yet to respond. I've tried removing the setupwizard.apk and it did nothing. I just need the initial setup process removed so I can use the ROM, add my own account and disassociate my device with this mysterious account. Or someone with the A3003 to make a backup from a fresh install, skipping through the setup process and upload it so that I can do the same as mentioned above. Easy money if you fancy a donation?

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kickassdave:
What do you want from MIUI if you don't want to use MI account?

The themes and UI in general are what makes it fun to use. Same reason CMTE and OMS are so popular. People want to customise. You can't do any of that without MI account.

And you'll probably keep getting pestered to create one if you manage to bypass initial setup.
