then you do something wrong but should not spread such non-sense, newcomers may believe it.

OP6 stock rom is one of the very best if not the best stock rom i've seen and those who know me know that i know what i'm talking about. many hundred roms on over 15 top-devices run over many years, starting with windows phone in 2004.

further the device is rock stable, anyways the device is hardware and the OS/ROM is software, which part is not stable IYO, for me hardware as well as software run trouble free from day 3 (1st day i had to learn A/B thingy)

if already you make such bold and false statements, explain exaxtly which part is not stable for you, perhaps someone could help you to get things right and avoid such misleading information.

this is a great rom indeed, but it does not run better (stability) than stock OOS, it still has glitches and needs some special care, for example the slim recents don't stick and many more things that were mentioned on the last 150+ pages.

i neither say it's not good nor do i complain, i solely relate to you statement that OOS is trash and the device is unstable. this is uttter non-sense and i certainly don't use such wording carelessly.

futher if you only said it once, one could forget about it, but you have that in red in your signature which i'm not even sure whether that is against the rules. after all where would we end if it's allowed to post such non-sense based on bad troubleshooting or usage or lack of experience and damage the reputation of all the hardworking people who designed this great and stable device and the really surprisingly good stock rom.

i like feature rich roms but stock + xposed 95% do the job and the notch hide feature is the best in town, of all devices and it does not work

on LOS based roms by now, so much to "better than".

EDIT: substratrum swift black workin absolutely flawlessly for me on 6 devices, 5 of the oreo 1 nougat only thing is not to update apps automatically but do it manually every few days, uninstall all the overlays, update the apps and re-install the overlays and reduce the number of overlays to what you need. for example why should i make myself work by theming apps i need once per month or per week, especially those who autio update anyways like google system apps.

in fact it's not good if i open mappy or the playstore in a restaurant and have to first uninstall and apply the new overlay before i can look up a place with friends. this is why i don't them apps that update in the background. too much hassle and after all i use the playstore not as frequently like a browser, contacts or the phone app or system apps, notifications and quicksettings.

so sometimes it's better to do choose wisely what to use and what to apply, using all what's available has never been a wise move.

there goes that saysing, who wants it all will end up with nothing, it's thousands of years old and has never been more true than nowadays.
