Hows it going so far in terms of battery life?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Man i have been wanting to flash a custom rom, hands been itchy but using OP6 so far and a a OnePlus usee for the 1st time, its a super smooth phone with no lag.

My only biggest complain is just the battery life. Im on 9.0.2 stock. Battery life sometimes could go 5 to 6 hrs of SOT and some other times is 4 hrs SOT. Weird.

Should I root my phone and just flash custom kernel like elementalx or franco to get better battery life?

I used to flash my phone when on HTC M7, M8 and One XL.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Yes that would be a good start I think, but make sure to backup all your data first and follow the procedure with attention. ;)

Didn't have the time until now. Here is the editable file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RoDV0NV8VNP5_80cPjKcs4x_N8x7FEYqWwq-j5vZ8Kw/edit?usp=sharing ;)

Currently running the last update of Unofficial LOS 15.1.

Pros: Stable, just enough customization options, no bloat, everything works, no crashes so far, good battery life

Cons: Stock camera app is decent, but not at good as say GCam or Open Camera. I prefer Open Camera, it was slightly better than GCam on image processing and depth of field. No notch hide but you can use the app Natcho Notch to hide it.

OOS is a pretty good Android Overlay, but the NAGWARE built into the ROM is the most annoying part of it. Notifications for EVERYTHING. Simply using Google Maps brought up the notification about the app using GPS. I know it's using the GPS and don't need to be nagged about it. I hate nagware ROMS. It reminded me why I dumped the stock ROM off my old LG G2 because of the nagging.

The latest update to OOS 9.0.2 the camera app is horrible, not the UI but the image processing is terrible. Took a few pics and when you look at the pics on a computer and zoom in, you can clearly see the detail wash out, the processing is trying to overly smooth the image and the finer object details are lost.

I tried to love OOS but it just didn't grow on me. I'm sticking with LOS. Waiting for LOS 16 to mature and all the bugs to get fixed. I tried to flash LOS 16 but for whatever reason, never could get it to boot. So patiently waiting for the Official LOS on OP6.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] meistr91:
Not he only. I have tried treskmod, is made over omni rom. It is really stable, fast, and all included features works properly. It is omni rom with pixel features. But the main problem of custom roms battery:/
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Thanks, I'm adding it to OP with a screenshot as well!

Thank you for your feedback! If you feel like reproducing my template I'll add your feedback to the OP.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
Not a custom ROM but I prefer OOS, I've been back and forth multiple times with different ROMs and always go back to the latest official beta. Debloat, install Google framework via magisk and then install Google phone because it's my preferred dialer with contacts, adaway and finally blu spark kernel. Fast, reliable and better battery life compared to any other non official. This phone, for whatever reason doesn't perform as good with customs IMHO.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazykas:
Hey [MENTION=4637983]Tomatot-[/MENTION] , Could you please tell me how to flash the OmniRom Treskmod? Is it

1. flash stock on both slots

2. boot twrp > wipe system/data> flash rom + twrp> reboot to system

OR

3. boot twrp > wipe system/data> flash rom + twrp> reboot to recovery > reboot to system?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
I which build date you on?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] stompysan:
Today's build. Clean flash from 9.0.2, with a data wipe from stock recovery.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
As you said Benchmarks are not a good way to see if a rom is good or not. They are just good to know everything is in a normal range or not. I installed redflare kernel on ob9, it works but not as good as tresk itself, double tap to wake is not working, latency is high in some apps, it seems latency in oos is not dependent on kernel, oos itself is a mess, specially scrolling as one of the devs said. It's usable but it just works, the experience on tresk is much better.

Didn't had time to bench it will try in hour or two
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I did...

1. Flash OB8 on both slots.

2. Boot TWRP and wipe cache/data --> flash rom + TWRP.

2a. You can boot directly to system.

2b. If you want magisk reboot to TWRP first and flash magisk and than reboot to system.

BTW Tresk recommended to flash redflare kernel for more smoothness.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazykas:
Thanks bro. Appreciate it. BTW does the ROM has working GCAM by default? If not could you please tell me which version it the best
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
No it doesn't contain the latest version of gcam that was released, it contains a version before this. I recommend to install the newest version of gcam it seems it's more stable specially about bright scenes.. Although you can flash oos cam zip to, to have both oos camera and gcam together.

[MENTION=4637983]Tomatot-[/MENTION],

according to your signature, you're using:

>> OnePlus 6 - Omnirom 9 - SmurfKernel - Magisk 18

What launcher do you use?

Do you recommend using OnePlus Launcher with that setup?

How many days battery life do you get? (using the phone gently, etc.)

My priority is battery life, because i just use the phone for calls, SMS, some chess & reading (e.g. HackerNews, Slashdot, Reddit)

(I also want to go down the route of MicroG, after having issues with an older Motorola phone and 'signature spoofing' issues)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
I don't consider myself as an example of the perfect setup but since you're asking:

1) I use lawnchair.

2) I don't use gestures so I don't have any interest in OP launcher.

3) I usually charge my phone every two days (reaching in between 4 and 6 hours of screen on time depending in my usage)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Systemshok:
Have you seen the AOSPExtended ROM? it's very promising for what i've read
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] metaxda:
thanks for that.

...and you're using MicroG, correct ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Yes it is, I really want to try it but I'm quite busy so probably in two weeks...

Yes!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerotre:
Hi all,

i've the op6 with stock oos 9.0.2, could you please tell me if this procedure to flash treskmod it's ok?

- unlock bootloader

- install fastboot bluespark twrp (img pc + zip android)

- copy rom to sd

- reboot twrp install rom

- reboot twrp install magisk

- reboot to system

Is that correct?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gyoung:
You got the steps right. But I highly recommend you flashing OOS stable twice before flashing custom ROM, so it goes like

After unlocking BL and installing blu_twrp, copy both oos and treskmod rom zip files.

1) Reboot to twrp and install OOS

2) Flash twrp zip

3) Reboot into twrp recovery

4) Flash OOS again

5) Flash twrp zip

6) Reboot into twrp recovery

7) Flash treskmod

8)flash twrp zip

9)reboot

If you want root, make sure you do a reboot.

1) Flash custom kernel (I recommend smurf 2.0.52)

2) Magisk

3) Flash custom kernel (again)

good luck
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerotre:
many thanks!

Why the double OOS flash?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
The phone has an A/B setup which means it has 2 slots where the OS can live. This is why when running stock it will download and install the update, you reboot and you're done. It's Google's way of making secure updates, if the update fails you still have a bootable phone etc. If you need a more detailed explanation you can read it here.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
AEX seems very impressive I'll give more feedback and fill the spreadsheet soon.

hi is the google pay and VOLTE working in TreskMod?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Hello ! I've started using TreskMod and i love it !

Just on question about it :

Does anyone how i can make the Always On Display brighter ? It's just so dim it's unuseable in many conditions.

I tried disabling Adaptive Brightness, tweaking Global settings values like they do on the Pixel 2, nothing worked.

Only thing that works is enabling "High Brightness Mode", but i can't leave it on at all times as the screen as always at 100% (in fact more than 100%, i don't like it ...)

Google Pay works, yep.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazykas:
How did you flash the ROM? which base stock version did you use? 9.0.3 or 9.0.2?. Im asking this is because i flashed the rom properly, but it was kind of buggy and had alots of apps crashing nortifications..Maybe i flashed it wrong way..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] metaxda:
You can also use [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] 's High Brightness Mode, as this app unlocks the hidden hardware setting that makes your screen about 40% brighter than stock.

Check the screenshots on Play store, to see what auto-options are available, widget, quick-tile, etc.

This app requires root.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
I had 9.0.3, wiped everything (Format data to remove encryption, copy back the ROM files on the phone, wipe System, and Cache), flashed the rom, rebooted TWRP to switch slots, flashed Magisk, and voilà, nothing special !

Thanks, that could be useful ! But sadly this is hardly a fix, not even a workaround, i can't leave the phone with HBM everytime i lock it with Always on Display, this would use way more battery and probably damage the screen. I imagine i could use Tasker to enable it when the screen locks and disabling it when unlocked, but i don't see it as a solution, because it could still damage the screen, and it would be too bright in dark environements.

Wonder why the AOD doesn't just use Adaptive Brightness as it does on the Pixel, or on the AOSP Magisk Mod for OxygenOS :(
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zeletrik:
I have problem with TreskMod install as well.

I'm used to be on OB10.

- flashed 9.0.3

- flashed TWRP (BLACK)

- reboot to TWRP

- flashed 9.0.3 again

- flashed TWRP

- reboot to TWRP

- flashed treskmod (2019.01.02 version)

- flashed TWRP

- reboot

-> goes to TWRP and seems like encyrpted my data.

- give it a wipe

-> same happens.

- sideload omni from TWRP

- sideload twrp zip from TWRP

- reboot

-> crash dump mode.

I think I'm going to have a long day..

EDIT:

It's a BLACK TWRP's fault. With Blu_Spark all went fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourtitan:
Hi Google Pay doesn't seem to work on mine sadly . I tried magisk hide, modules and everything. It's not working. Any thoughts?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blindie:
You need 9.0.2 for tresk
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pacods61:
Negative I was on 9.0.3 stock and I'm running tresk with no problems
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Totone56:
Sorry, not a clue :/ Went back to OOS 9.0.3, i had very bad idle drain on both Tresk and Omni, Google Play wouldn't work, but after flashing Magisk it was working again !
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcelS:
[MENTION=4637983]Tomatot-[/MENTION] could you add ROM version that review apply to? If "bad things" section contains info about bug, we don't know if that "bad thing" is still present in ROM.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
No idea what's on/off topic on this thread anymore ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Yes good idea I'll do it in the future but again help from the community to update the thread would be nice since I can't try all ROMs. :)

It looks like it's the unofficial thread for tresk support. :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourtitan:
haha very true. now that i can ask one more thing about Tresk. How do we update through OTA? Do i need to flash zip through blu twrp? will i lose data? flash root and kernel again? tia :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] beefcutlet:
hi guys. finally I encourage to try custom rom, and after seeing you guys recommend treskmod, i go for it.

anybody know why my gcam freeze? im at my wits end. already try tresk 20190105, nope

tresk 20190102, still not working.

alrd googled, not a clue too
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
I was joking because it's ok but it's getting a little annoying, this thread is about feedback and sharing experiences, not troubleshooting. Use the dedicated place for that (telegram chat). For the 10th time, I'm not using Tresk so I can't help you.

See above. You probably have to change settings, again go the dedicated thread or place (gcam xda thread, telegram, etc.). It's most likely because your app is not configured properly or because you're not using the right version. But you're not giving any details so... Nobody can help you.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] beefcutlet:
I'm using google camera that came with the treskmod. Already freezing since I'm boot the treskmod after flashing it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Report to him on his webpage then and he might help you find the issue. Try changing kernel is my tip
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cablespider:
To stop the freezing, change the viewfinder format to jpeg in advanced settings>fix. It took less than a minute to find the answer by searching the telegram channel. As noted above, telegram is the best place to report problems and get answers.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
So is the Touch Latency fix really better in TreskMod? I'm deciding between flashing TreskMod and OmiRom, can anyone suggest me which?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Some say Omni, some say tresk.

For me, Omni. This way you can choose gapps to install.

Edit: I'm on tresk now,since I don't want to mess around with microg I thought I try it.. holy smokes it got fast and fluid. Best experience I've had on this phone.

Guess I can just remove the things I don't need still. I'm a bit amazed of how snappy it is, and so much improvement done since I last tried it. I will stay here a while I guess :p
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Updated the spreadsheet with AEX features.

I'm back on Omni. AEX has a lot of potential and it already has a lot of features, it's very fast and smooth like most custom ROMs, battery life is solid. But I have some small random bugs that made me want to go back to Omni to have a more stable experience. I'm sure in a few builds AEX will be able to keep up with the best ROMs.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaysonic88:
I'm looking for a ROM on OP6 that fulfills two criteria, one it has to support Google Pay and the second is "smartbar" navbar (preferably the version in AOSIP that allows adding new buttons and changing button size and icon. So far it looks to me like ony Omnirom has Google pay working. Are there others working for anyone i should try?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Systemshok:

LineageOS works with Android Auto
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cablespider:
You can give it a try but 9.0.3 is the recommended base. If you choose not to use the 9.03, don't be surprised when things go haywire. It may work but that's up to you to test.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
Ah damn :/ That means I´ll have to wipe everything again... It really sucks that every rom needs another base, either stable or beta xD

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Hi, this thread isn't really about that, here we compare ROMs and the features in them. Have a look in the "question and answers" part for backup/restore.

Thanks for understanding.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
Another suggestion, since you post in the initial thread that X feature isn't working you might want to edit it once it's confirmed working. Example would be LOS is still listed as privacy guard not working which would be a turn off to several users if that was still the case.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sohailss111:

I will update this feature regarding LOS 16 but again, again and again, I can only update if you guys tell me what to update. If I don't get your feedback then I should just close this thread idk.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
I just did a massive update to the thread. I hope it will be useful. However, honestly, apart from a few features, all ROMs are very similar now in terms of performance, battery life, etc. The most relevant thing is still the spreadsheet. So again, please check it and if there are some ? cases or if the ROM you're using does not appear in the spreadsheet, please add it.

Thank you guys. :)

I'm not blaming you, that's not what I meant. Thank you for letting me know about privacy guard. I was blaming all the ghost users that could help this thread which is supposed to be community based.

I wasn't particularly dramatic but it's true that if the information in the OP are not reliable, it's both unfair for the devs that work hard on fixing bugs and for users that can't trust what's written.

What you think about adding kernels to this thread? Oos with some kernels is really a different beast, no need for roms anymore for many people.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
But what do you want to write about kernels? They're all great and it's very subjective to compared them. I don't think we can write anything constructive and neutral about them.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joakimbo:
Have you tried arter97 new kernel?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
Yeah. He is a legend and a good friend of mine, specially he does have a sensitive eyes like me to the latency, but i tried version 1, it's good, but needs improving and he is improving it. Render, smurf and arter are really good in terms of overall performance. Smurf is really good, try its test kernels, its in a different level. The performance difference is completely visible.

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Yeah that's the hard part. I agree, but many send me pm about them to know for example which one have a good latency!

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about getting a new rom with a nice pixel look such as Treskmod or Pixel Experience.

I need your advicce regarding the battery life : I need the 5h of sot with heavy usage that OOS is giving me.

Which one of these pixel like roms has the best battery life in your opinion ?

Thanks in advance !
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] klym.software:
After using both I found myself happier with the Treskmod ROM + redflare kernel for that pixel feel, and for the better battery life VS Pixel Experience + smurf kernel.
