[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Koogly:
Well Written! Here are my 2 cents into this argument.

As many have said already, Its Mostly a matter of personal choice. OOS is Great, Probably the Greatest Stock ROM Ever. But there is something in Flashing a Custom ROM to Squeeze out every last bit out of your phone..

Kind of like buying a Supersport bike, It May have the best electronics ever, but people will make sure to flash the ECU to make more power etc.

It Can Get Boring using the same thing over and over again, Yes it works, but if I wanted it to be just working monotonously, I would have gone for an iPhone.

Now about your points.

I Have Probably used all Custom ROMs and Variants of OOS for OP6T as of now.

1. Completely Agreed, the AOSP Gesture navigation is nowhere near how smooth OOS Navigation Gestures are... There just is no Competition.

2. Fingerprint Reader is Almost Exactly the same as OOS for me on Custom ROMs. Many times it feels faster because of the lack of Animations. but it's just the same.

3. There are Quite a Bit of ROMs which have varying degrees of Feature Richness and stability out there, AOSiP, Bootleggers, Omni, TreskMod etc comes to mind, From what I have seen, it can pretty much be an OOS Replacement with additional features.

4. Yes, As of Now Custom ROM --> OOS Means You Have to Wipe Internal Data, It is a Problem.

What I Do to tackle this issue is to make a Daily Backup of All my Internal Storage Data, I Have been doing this from my Xperia Z3 Days with Syncthing, Its Automatic, and in my opinion faster than Backing up and restoring Through USB.

Here is a Video I Made showing a simple config I use, Might be useful. https://youtu.be/pa7U982_DuU

It's a Band-aid Fix, But Its What we have.

5. Innovations may seem to be shrinking down with Custom ROMs Nowadays, That is unfortunately how it seems, What what I Know Nougat was the Last Android Version where it truly seemed like custom ROMs were Truely unique.

But having all Desirable options in one Custom ROM is also why I went for a custom ROM in the First Place.

Personally I use Havoc ROM, It Has a Lot of Features, Most not available on OOS, such as Lockscreen Customisation, Long press on Power button for torch, Few custom Tiles I use Almost all the time, Hand Wave Ambient Display Activation, Keyboard Cursor Control with Volume Buttons Etc.. (These are truly a few of the things that keep me on Custom ROMs)

Now, these are My Opinions and not to undermine anyone else's.

In Short, OOS is the Greatest Stock ROM, But Custom ROMs with still be there for people needing more.

With OPs implementation yes.. On my old nvidia shield k1, i have it unlocked and rooted and yet retain my drm l1.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] sebastiandg7:
Whoa whoa, I wasn't up to date with this. Do you have a link to an official OnePlus source about this? All I have found is reddit, xda and other forum users saying it. I trust it is that was, but, you know, you better always be safe by your own.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kitcostantino:
just ask [MENTION=9253142]funkwizard[/MENTION] or search on One Plus forums. Trust me, there is a reason so many people from the rom/dev community love One Plus. The only other phone i have ever had that the OEM allowed bootloader unlocking was the Droid Maxx Developer Edition. One Plus allows bootloader unlock without automatically voiding warranty. of course, if you do things to destroy the phone (think clock speed, thermal failsafes, etc) and those mods are deemed to have caused your device failure, that is not covered, but One Plus has always gotten the dev/enthusiast friendly part right. Googling 'One Plus bootloader policy' took me right to one plus forums and the answer in multiple instances. I dont blame ya for wanting to be certain. One Plus is the greatest OEM, for real.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cold Tallday:
No one talks about "broken pixels" at the corners of the screen in custom ROMs. Does it bother anyone??
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
So you certainly saw that

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/8m93fq/does_rooting_void_warranty/

Unlocking doesn't void warranty by itself but any physical damage resulting from using non OOS software will not be covered. E.g you fry your CPU by playing with custom kernel (I don't even know if it's possible, never seen a report about this it's just an illustration) it won't be covered

If you read the legal statement from OnePlus about warranty exclusion, bootloader unlocking is not mentioned
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] techlogik:
And number 6, there is really no such thing as a fully custom Rom based on the latest OOS for this phone. Just Magisk tweaks and other AOSP stuff.

One thing about HTC phones and dev for that...too bad they decided to give up on hardware innovation there and are heading for extinction.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] beytim:
I like MIUI rom
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] sebastiandg7:
Thanks a lot man.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] WhiteWashed:
Honestly I feel ike OOS is the best iteration of Android so far. As long as OP will support this phone I don't think I'll switch to a custom ROM simply because I don't feel any necessity of doing so, there's nothing better on custom ROMs.

This is actually the first phone to give me this feeling even if I used phones like the Nexus 5, 6P and OP1 as well.

The only thing this phone misses is a great kernel like franco's but stock kernel is still perfectly fine for most of the things
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Franco Kernel is available for the 6T.... But if you are on stock and want even better battery try Omega Kerbel
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fairyshacker:
howz omega kernel with stock beta 14?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fairyshacker:
Sure! But first, let me get the boot.img of beta14.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sophia92:
Hi!

I absolutely agree because what oneplus did with oos is just simply good and I don't feel the need of using something other than stock.

I was always a customization freak, tried every single custom rom what I found for my devices, used every launcher out there and they were great and new and eye-catching, my old phone looked like something new and innovative thing that made me feel proud.

I tried experimenting on my 6t too but guess what I am using: stock rom, stock launcher, stock icons. Everything is where it is supposed to be, and there are those small hints that you don't even notice until you try something else and not have them.

The only thing I miss is my google now feed on the left, but shelf has its' advantages too if you are getting used to it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ogkillergreen:
Nova launcher is a great launcher that does most of what OOS launcher does and it has the Google now feed to the left
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sophia92:
Thanks, I used it, this is the point but where those small hints come what Nova cannot do.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hank81:
CPL (Custom Pixel Launcher) is better imo and free.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] antoniobarros:
I agree totally! Maybe two point more are needed.

In the latest 5 year OEM improve kernels and softwares. OnePlus too of course.

It's means that customs ROM and kernels are not so cool than in the past. SOT smoothly gesture ecc are perfectly working with OOS stock.

Second point. Many kernels and ROM was abandoned in few months! This happened because developer get a new device or simple don't have request about his software.

It's so hard IMPROVE oos performance!

In conclusion modding is no needed, actually is no more than a funny hobby.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lacster:
Flashing custom roms with the new partition scheme is such a drag. Lost my data countless times when I just started flashing my OP 6T :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
That's what backups are for
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lacster:
Lol well my backups were all wiped with the phone, should've transferred them to my pc ??*♂️
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] taaviu:
Stock, magisk and thats all what you need.

Remove bloatware and it flying.

Older Android you can use custom kernel also.

Switced between ROMs and tryed all...but anyway after week I will come back to stock OOS.

GOOD Work OnePlus developers.

How to remove bloatware?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
This entire thread is so dumb. You want them, you dont want them, they are the roots and responsible for many of the features in current versions of AOSP and OEM edits, the list goes on. Don't hate the developers or the maintainers, or anyone else trying to keep Android fun and personal as it once was, blame Google and OEMs for slowly choking off the scene until were all carrying around iDroids no different in cost or function from the silly iPhones we used to make fun of.

End rant.

Titanium Backup!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TRexombo:
One thing I have not noticed mentioned in this thread. The primary reason I root and install custom roms is so that I can use MicroG. I prefer to totally eradicate ALL google apps and services from my phone.

My favorite choice to accomplish this, is to choose a rom with native signature spoofing support and the flash Nanodroid. It installs MicroG plus a lot of open source apps that take the place of google apps. It also debloats super effectively.

You can't accomplish all of that on stock OOS. So to me, rooting and flashing custom roms continue to be important.

I have installed the firmware 9.1 twice per dload, I have done 4 complete formats, install once the firmware by erecovery and two more formats later, everything from scratch, and even then I am having random reboots, suddenly the mobile freezes and I come back to request the unlock code, someone to know what is the problem?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] rikusuicide:
That's what you get when you can't wait...

I guess you Wipe it completely.

Did you turn off developer options you enabled, USB debugging and stuff like these?

Dont restore all apps in playstore. Emui 9.1 is the android 10 update? If this is the case not all apps are compatible or up to date jet.

With version did you dload? You need the right fileS with your region, cust the number in "(....)". Don't use apps that tweak multitasking or things like that. Phone should be perfectly optimized from the day you got it.

I get crashes from time to time but no random reboots or hangups. Start from scratch readd your contacts and then restore the apps you need and look if they are up to date android 9/10 rdy.

Add a logcat so we could iron out what's causing you the problems.

Have a nice day hope I could help you in someway.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] cygnus56:
Emui 9.1 is Android 9, like emui 9.0, the installation I made it from 0, nothing of restored apps, it was installation by erecovery, that is the version that the same Huawei servers send for my device, the problem is real, that in other forums of the series Mate are also reporting
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Alextm24:
I have the same problem with that version and I got via Ota.

I restored it using the factory reset and it's the same thing

I regret updating my phone.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] cygnus56:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Alextm24:
Try disabling the application NOTEPAD.

The crashes and reboots have stopped. It has been stable at least 8 hours since I disabled it.

I think if it worked for me it should work for anyone

Try it
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] cygnus56:
it happens to me when it's disabled
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] cygnus56:
I just did the following process:

-Low level format

-Format by erecovery

-Format cache by erecovery

-Download and restoration of firmware by erecovery

-Format by erecovery

-install only elementary apps, do not disable anything, do not restore any app

After all the previous process, after a few minutes I was crashed again and asked for the password
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] cygnus56:
Has it returned to crashing?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] pvillasuso:
I don't have any issues that all you guys are writing about

9.1 has been great for me , in all the features, optimization, battery, etc

Maybe because I did remove like 10+ apps that were bloatware for me ?? : https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/guide-remove-huawei-bloatware-noob-t3889426

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Alextm24:
Me too because last time I did it manually on another mate 20 pro I couldn't get any ota updates

Then I got this phone and after 3 months I got the last update 2 weeks ago. And then this is happening.

So I don't wanna wait for too long and have a faulty phone but if I do it manually I don't know if will screw it up.

So the question is how long should we have to wait until huawei give us a solution???? I hate this situation
