Can I do ALL the mods out there with the 12GB 256GB OP7P bought from oneplus.com

[NoSauce]

I want to root, unlock bootloader, install custom kernels, custom roms, xposed, magisk, etc. I want to be able try out all the wonderful mods available on this forums.

I'm planning on buying the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage version of this phone directly from the oneplus.com website and use it with the Verizon Wireless carrier in the United States. Will I be able to do everything mentioned above with this version of the OnePlus 7 Pro? Will I be able to use it with Verizon in the US?

If not, what version of the phone should I buy and where can I buy it?

The reason why I ask is that there's many different versions of this phone (e.g. with 8 GB of ram, sold by T-mobile, etc.). I do not want to be limited in what I can MOD with this phone.

If anyone has this version of the phone and has done a lot of MOD's, please let me know.

Thank you.

The simple fact of the matter is unlike other OEMS, OnePlus's Oxygen OS is heads and shoulders above most most OS, both stock and custom. As for mods, splurging for the 12GGB wont really make too much of a difference as 8GB is already overkill. I myself cant think of too many mods because most are either baked in, or a matter of a module from Magisk. Look for the global/US Unlocked GM1917 model of the OP7P if you want to skip a few steps in starting your fiddling.

Is the OnePlus 7T a completely different phone when it comes to modding? Will I be able to use all the mods on this forum if I get the 7T? Will it cause me a lot of problems and hassles if I try to use all the ROM's, Kernels, guides, etc on this forum? Is this forum dedicated only to the NON T version? Is this forum solely for the OnePlus 7 Pro (not the 7T)?

Sorry but you are sounding like a kid on Halloween when you say ALL the mods this and ALL the mods that. First, use the device and see what you find lacking. That is the whole purpose of the modding community, providing options that are lacking. Also, saying "if I try to use all the ROM's, Kernels" gives the impression that you want to install all the roms and kernels at once
As for buying the T, if you have the money and dont mind spending, go ahead, but the differences between the op7p and the t variants are super negligible. And if you do, then this section is not for you, you would need to go the T threads for that.

I'm on Verizon. 12GB/256GB GM1917 directly from OnePlus.
Using both SIMS, the other with T-Mobile.
Using TWRP, Magisk,custom kernel ElementalX, edXposed, and Gravity Box. Google dialer framework installed to get call screening. Modded messenger for RCS. Google Pay and banking apps still work.

No issues

I bought the unlocked 12 gig and don't worry about clearing ram for a while 256 and love it!! ( I shouldn't have done the update to Q though and I lost root. Its a great phone with OOS. but play with it on pie is my recommendation.

I would imagine he just means the Activity Launcher "RCS Flags" MODs on Beta Messages

@OP
12gig/256gig GM1719 on vzw.
I just use Magisk, edXposed /w riru YAFA, gravity box, Google dialer for call screening, and RCS on messages.

Pretty much everything I need. Haven't found a reason to install a custom ROM like I "needed" to on my past HTC phones
