This is a unified CyanogenMod 13.0 ROM that works on both the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. It is based off of the stable CyanogenMod branch instead of the nightly branch, with the main goal being stability with an overall good user experience. This ROM comes with a highly-customized kernel, as well as some other very custom modifications.

Custom kernels are not compatible with this ROM. I will NOT provide support if you install a custom kernel.

Changelogs for each update can be found in the 2nd post of this thread.

ROM features:

Based off latest CyanogenMod 13.0 stable (ZNH5Y) sources (root access is

Improved GPS speed and accuracy

Custom camera app featuring:

-Photo quality comparable to OxygenOS

Many other misc. performance and stability improvements under the hood

Installation instructions (for first-time installation):

First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, SuperSU if you want root access

(ONLY v2.65 OR HIGHER)

, and then reboot.

If you get an error when trying to install the ROM ("You do not have the correct firmware installed!" error), then go to the Firmware link in the Downloads section and flash that zip file. Once you flash the firmware zip file, you can install the ROM.

Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):

If you are already running my CM13.0 ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything.

HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.
