[Discussion] Favourite rom/kernel and why?

[Phazonclash]

Stock/Stock

Why? Because after many years using custom ROMs, custom kernels, modified system files, etc. I decided I wanted a stock, unrooted phone that will run how it was intended to, with OTA updated and everything else. So far so good, I don't miss anything

I did the same with my last phone (s7edge) and it was the most boring 2 years I've spent with an android phone so far
With my Pixel 2 XL I'm running a stock rom with Magisk, Flash kernel and some tweaks

Not much, just some magisk modules to enable VoLTE & VoWiFi, viper4android & youtube vanced and I tried PK's Tuning Script
I haven't had much time to play tbh and will likely flash a custom rom at some point

Volte is enabled by Default stock rom.. Right?

Not for me.
The option was not there to enable before the magisk module

Can custom kernels be flashed to stock ROM?

Of course :good:
Provided your bootloader is unlocked that is

Does anyone run a different DPI? On my 6p I ran 481, that was the lowest it could be before apps acted like a tablet. What are you guys using for DPI?

How's it going guys - touching base to see at roms we're all running at present?

I've been on AquariOS and it's been solid. After getting itchy I decided to try out Nitrogen which seems great and pretty much fundamentally identical for my needs, though unfortunately long press back to kill is not working. So whilst I use a workaround (recents and then swipe to close an app) I'm debating trying out Resurrection Remix...

I'm going away to Amsterdam on Tues and want a solid rom with no issues, so I may just end up trying RR today and if all else fails may just go back to AquariOS, just so I have one of my most commonly used features (long press to kill) back again. Though I'm also tempted to hi back to stock with Xposed/gravitybox, though losing Android Pay from having broken safetynet, is also losing a nice geature I use....

Would love to hear of other people's set ups...

Is it possible to run xposed on P yet? I presume not.... But would love to have it rooted, themed and xposed if possible....

I've not ventured over to another ROM yet... DU has been everything I need with substratum themes and enough tweaks to my liking... Running it with kernel for the ROM
