I'am not sure, but I think he mean stock hydrogen os pie kernel, which I tried and Wi-Fi was not turning on
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] darkobas:
no. only my kernel will work since yesterday. any older kerbel need to flash the module also
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rori~:
Which I never flashed, only recovery..
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] filjusz:
I have unlocked bootloader&flashed latest omni on my friends 5T and he have same lag/freezes problem. What i found, is at initial boot he had ONLY 200MB free ram from total 8GB. Crazy. Even bootanimation lags at startup
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mad-murdock:
even more crazy - bluspark kernel removes all lag. but wifi does not work with it. such a pitty.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] testguest:
New build! :)
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] filjusz:
You better tell us if new bulid is working fine, without lag and freezes issue :mad:
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mad-murdock:
TL;DR: It's working great now!

DISCLAIMER: In the past this beta was behaving differently for different people. So it might be working for me and not for you. But since in the past I was plagued by every single possible issue myself, and they are all gone without clean wiping, I am positive it is working well for everyone.

DETAILS:

Upgraded my firmware 5.1.7 1207 build to the latest 1209 build and flashed the OP-leaked-firmware. Result: The lags are _nearly_ gone. Every so often, the phone stutters. But it is a big difference to older builds. If you dont have a keen eye and watch for stutters, you will miss them. Plus everything works. Videos, Wifi, GPS fix. I did not do a call yet, but since it was no problem in the past I guess it will work.

Right now, I let titanium do a backup (only reason to test stability). No crash, no additional stuttering, just running in the background without creating issues.

For me, it is my daily driver. If you like this ROM, this is the time to test it again.

[MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION] Thank you for your work, Sir! Looking forward to future updates.

Update: After using it a bit more, the stutter - while way better than before - is still noticable. A bit more than I first thought.

20181210 is already up! :good:
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] praveen7682:
How to flash the rom? Is it wipe everything and flash pie firmware, flash rom, flash vendor, flash gapps,
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 75markus:
yes ! older gapps seem to work better, new ones often put you in a bootloop ... i still use opengapps 20180921

new build 20181210 also seems to work great for me, coming from 20181206
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mad-murdock:
1210 is less laggy than 1209.

Saw lag once when switching apps. Apart from that chrome seems to lag a lot.

Anyone else with latest build can confirm chrome is laggy?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] testguest:
Yes, Chrome is pretty laggy on me end too.

(I'm on OP's vendor, firmware and 1210.)
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] filjusz:
Is it much better than previous one or its better to stay with good working 20181015 bulid?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mad-murdock:
Good question. 1015 had its issues. I.e. gps was not working that well. Also consider the 2 month of extra omni-goodies. I personally like running latest build if viable.

Short answer: Make a backup and see for yourself. Just remember to switch back to old firmware when restoring your backup.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] filjusz:
Hi

Thanks, You are right. Yesterday bulid works fine. Lags completly gone for me. No freezes now. :highfive:

---------- Post added at 20:45 ---------- Previous post was at 20:43 ----------

Still no luck. Even after flash, rom said i'am encrypted
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sbcrumb:
Before you go from encrypted to decrypted. You need to back up your phone IE the internal storage. Then you need to format the internal SD card. and at that point you can be and stay decrypted. The zip is to prevent the ROM from turning enc back on. not removing it. You need to do that manually.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jckjr:
I have had the same problem with still being encrypted after doing this same thing. In fact it happened just the other night flashing theone5tos because I forgot to reboot back to recovery after flashing noverity and then reboot system. Once I redid the whole process again it decrypted fine.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ssewk2x:
Has anyone tried this under either or both of the following conditions:

1. with codeworkx's 3.2.3-0 recovery (with /vendor partition support)?

2. coming from the 8.1 version of Omni encrypted with a PIN?

Any pitfalls to watch out for?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] filjusz:

Sidebar, my gravity / orientation sensor seems to have gotten screwed up, such that the x and y axies appear to have been swapped?? So the phone is in portrait mode when it should be landscape, and vice versa. Anyone else see this? I thought maybe firmware, so I've tried a couple different ones, and no luck.

I am in the process of flashing and setting up OB 20 itself (full install, user data wipe, the whole bit). The issues seem to be gone while that's running. Once I get that to the point where it's usable, I will make a nandroid of that and see about getting OMNI back on this thing. Hopefully, that will be the end of it. :)

This version of OMNI is missing the setting to

swap hardware buttons

(back and recents). If you miss it as I do here is how to do it...

HOW TO SWAP BUTTONS / REMAP BUTTONS / SWITCH BACK AND RECENTS BUTTONS (root needed)

Using a Magisk Module: for the change to survive ROM updates, DOWNLOAD FROM HERE. Someone should confirm if it works or not, it works for me but this is my first Magisk module ever.

Do it Manually:

1) Navigate to Root/System/Usr/keylayout/

2) Open and edit the file "synaptics_s3320.kl"

3) Find the following

key 580 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL

4) Swap the numbers 580 and 158, save, reboot system.

DONE!

PS: if it doesn't work then do the same with the file "synaptics.kl"

I would love to see that feature implemented in the ROM's Settings, Omni 8.1 had it and LineageOS 15.1 as well..

Also my sounds app from ringtone selection menu is FC-ing.

[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] robotkoer:
I am quite confused now.

Initially I tried your TWRP to apply the firmware - it failed because of "vendor partition is not existed, exit ota!!" (the vendor partition support is not there I presume).

Then I tried updated TWRP, but it did not even boot because it requires Pie firmware.

So what can I do now? Can I apply the firmware without a recovery, in fastboot?

Edit: ended up bricking and unbricking the device and installing OOSes in order to get the firmware.
