[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Hi,

After my personal research I have narrowed down 'my' preferred roms to these two roms,

ParanoidAndroid by [MENTION=5986135]TheCrazyLex[/MENTION] and team

PureFusion by [MENTION=7052346]INT3NSE07[/MENTION] and team

Please discuss and help users to understand the better ROM for their devices and I think it will be more beneficial to understand how these roms are better than stock OOS too.

Thank you both the teams and all wonderful [MENTION=507649]devs[/MENTION] of "all roms" :)

I think you have not tried Dirty Unicorns, have you?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Nope, and actually none yet...

but you can share your views as said in the OP like

-camera quality(low light)

-network stability

-CAF based or ...? whats the advantages etc.. whatever you know and feel like sharing it here...

-RAMconsumption

-Charging stability

-System fluidity/stability "after long time"...

-substratum support

-call/music quality

-idle battery drain
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] standbyme91:
with me viperos is best rom for 3T
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Siddk007:
Ok, so Dirty Unicorns is a AOSP/CAF based rom has all the features that you would expect from a custom rom. Every thing works solid.

But the most distinguishing thing for me is this rom supports fully working OOS camera. Yes, fully working which i have never come across in any other roms so far.

You can download the final nougat build from here as the developer has already started work on Oreo. I'm sure you wont be disappointed. Many people dont know about the rom because they dont have a xda thread.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] redpoint73:
You already have it narrowed down to 2 ROMs. Just flash them both, try them for yourself, and see which you like better. In the hours you waited for responses to this thread, you could have already done this, and made the decision on your own.

It's pointless asking strangers (who have different preferences and usage patterns) which is better. In the end, what you think is "best" probably has little orno bearing on what others think/prefer.

DU seems very interesting ROM...I definitely going to try when 8.0 builds starting to drop....

But where is a nice active forum to discuss about this ROM?

Google +
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
You exactly had same preference as mine..I prefer PureFusion as there is active community who listens to you and provide necessary fixes at earliest...PA is smooth too and has excellent battery life...
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Yes, obvious reply but I am rather looking into technicality of these roms...

for any product if you know the process it is built with you use it wisely... ?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Yea, I have already joined that group and even enjoying it :)

but I think I opened this thread with other intention and "I think" people are not getting my point

my point here is this

say when you compare stock android(AOSP) vs say MIUI (heavily modified AOSP with bloatwares)

so most of people know this and will choose AOSP for good performance

NOW, PF vs PA both are AOSP/CAF based roms, so what "you guys" think(or have experienced or I missed) what are the main points which anyone of these ROMs have over each other?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] JunpeiManaka:
As a long standing paranoid user I can just recommend this ROM again and again. Everything works, you basically never encounter a bug and you are not swamped with useless features. The battery life hasn't let me down so far and paielred with the modded gcam you can get photos comparable to stock oxygenOS (maybe even better)

#StayParanoid
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
I would suggest AOSPA Extended over PA
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Laapander:
If you want that everything(i mean everything) is working and no fc:s, go Paranoid. I get almost stocklike feeling using it. Customisations are minimal. My stream provider app is not working on custom roms and that is deal breaker for me most of the times.

OT. OOS is light and good stock. You almost dont want to flash custom roms. Novadays i prefere stable beyond customisations. (too old?)

PS. I dont have any experience of AOSPA Extended
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] JunpeiManaka:
I'd disagree as AOSPA Extended isn't what PA is all about. PA is all about refinement to the last little detail. If you have PA and tell someone that this is the stock system, nobody would think otherwise (except us people who know XDA)

That's the beauty of it. You don't have many features, but the ones you have make perfect sense and are implemented so seamlessly, that you could miss it for a stock Android feature.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
I would need some features which PA doesn't have like vibrate on call, de-link ring and notification volume...

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] redsmith:
I don't know about that. As far as I remember, Dirty Unicorns does not support RAW, which is one (huge) feature of stock OOS Cam. PureFusion, on the other hand, has a fully-featured OOS Cam. Same for Zenity and NucleaROM.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Thanks everyone for sharing their views, finally I could try both and here are my point of view;

PureFusion OS(1004 build)

1. VoLTE call issues :D

2. NO night color temp. control bar

3. built in "logcat" for faster dev/support :)

4. could not find built in doze/hibernate app like OOS

PA 7.3.0

1. VoLTE/call works great

2. Love the built in theme engine

Possible to add built in font chooser as well?

3. NO night color temp. control bar

4. first time front cam crashed, later worked fine

PA cam quality is better compared to PF built in cam

5. should include stock OOS cam

6. while charging felt the device getting heats up :/

7. could not find built in doze/hibernate app like OOS

Both ROMs are just great, I personally preferred PA may be due to VoLTE, built in theme engine etc.

I personally think people are now getting to like

1. more stock,

2. 'may b' less tweaks,

3. more stability

4. more per app control,

5. more hardware control like DCI-P3 etc. vibration strength control?

6. Camera will be better with time

On top of all of this I still think people would really be interested to experience the pixel like feel on their OnePlus devices(which I feel have not experienced on any of the ROM, like quick menu etc.. I know it is TOO MCH to ask :P, I also know there is such ROM already but you know what I mean )

NOTE: I am back to Stock OOS 4.5.0 atm
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
After all this, just wondering why you are back on Stock?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
1) stock is "Stock" best stable version out there

2) I do lot of photos, though stock cam quality is not great but RAW could be modified as per our needs

3) If other roms have more may be battery friendly, in-built hardware features as mentioned in my prev. post I would definitely use them as my DD.

My main personal preference is to see PA giving full pixel phones like experience <3
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] phoberus:
I think you sjould also try VertexOS or if you need much features then try ZeNiTy

In my opinion the best roms beside stock
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xuser_:
Thanks!

Currently on OB16 and battery is hell awesome, the idle drain is dead amazing for me(turned off all the AOSP **** like notification, background data usage etc...)

Apart from this stock thing(no root/no magisk) I just wish to have customization of 'status bar' only, would prefer ios like status bar, rest no customization

so in future if they some status customization options that'd be great or will try your suggested ROMs.

Hi, i have a Note 8 N950XU with Snapdragon, it worked fine with the pre installed Demo ROM, but i installed the N950U Firmware and since then it shows me Security Error: Unauthorized Software has been flashed bla bla bla, as you can see on the attached picture. I even got the original N950XU Demo Firmware and flashed it, but still shows me the same error! Anyone knows how to fix this ?

BlueFox's thread:

I believe you would have to use Prince's Odin to so which is also in that thread.

Looks like your just trying to flash another carrier's or other official firmware. Don't need unlocked bootloader or oem unlock for that. Don't know if your version has an unlocked bootloader but I am curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Not gonna work on N950XU, that's what the OP is about. These are retailer demo units and you can't just flash other models' firmwares onto it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Do they have working radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
I believe they do, but they also have the security check which was tripped by the OP when he tried flashing 950U firmware. The question is whether there's a way to get around it, which I am not qualified to answer. But I am still wondering how these retailer demo units are ending up in private hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Right. Probably ex demo units that get sold off before too much screen burn occurs. I don't know to be honest.

I remember reading somewhere the radios don't work on them hence they needed a new main board to function fully. But that was just a random post I'd come across that I recalled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
I actually recall reading something similar. But I also remember being able to make a call with demo units, could be wi-fi calling though, so I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I was going by this thread? Maybe there is two versions, demo and live demo ? I don't know to be honest.

Discussing ways of bypassing certain security features has been deemed by the moderator group to be providing ways for thieves to benefit from stolen devices. This is admittedly a grey area, but we don't want to facilitate illegal activities.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Someone that bought the device from "Letgo" is clearly not a store owner. Even if they were, the devices are not meant to be used other than for in-store demos. Hence why they cannot successfully flash non-demo firmware onto them. Shady crap like this is why we have to deal with more and more restricted hardware from the manufacturers.

Live Demo Units

Yes these "Live Demo Units" can be used to make and receive calls. All you need to do is have the demo mode disabled.

Once demo mode is disabled you will be able to use your LDU device to make and receive calls.

The demo mode can be disabled by the retail store in which the demo unit was obtain or if it was purchased from Ebay or any other online store, samsung need to be contacted to have it disabled. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
If the phone was obtained legitimately, shouldn't these stores be removing the demo mode before sale? Otherwise, buying a unit thats not intended for resale seems like a red flag.

UPDATE: I now recommend FULL firmware and not modem only firmware. I have links to then on my LineageOS 15.1 for X2 thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577/page24

Use whichever feels best. Some say Chinese 28s, some say developer 466D so it's up to you to decide for your device.

Original post:

So after some testing? I think that Chinese 28s modem firmware might just be the best one of the bunch.

I get the best signal strength I've seen yet plus the fingerprint reader speed when the device is asleep is still darn good! :)

Usually, at my kitchen table I get two signal bars but meow I'm getting this just like the attached picture

Otherwise? Developer 466D is also really good some have reported. I'd recommend people test this if they find Chinese 28s not to their liking
