[LIST] ROMs: All Hammerhead Oreo ROMs **updated 2018-01-09**

[abemore]

This thread is abandoned.

Work is continued here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...t-roms-hammerhead-oreo-roms-01-09-18-t3733094
-------------

Xaif seems to be too busy to maintain his list, so I'm starting one here. I'll try to keep this updated with bugs and features so the best rom will emerge.

ALL ROMS:

• Volume rocker wake - Highly requested due to the Nexus 5's failing power button. Most roms don't have this feature. Only Liquid Remix seems to have it.
• Bluetooth calling audio bug - all oreo roms contain this bug

** Android 8.1 ROMS **

Liquid Remix 8.0 UNOFFICIAL (Volume Rocker Wake!) should be 8.5

Also it would be amazing, if you would also add the links for the git repos if available

Gratefully

Very nice and analytical post.

I thought maybe 8.5 was a typo. Not sure why it jumped from 8.0 to 8.5.

I'll add git repos if you have the links.

Thanks. Hope there are more devs to have stable android 0 for nexus 5.

I don't sadly :/ I asked because I wanted to build one of them.

I must admit: the acip 13.1 is outstanding!!!! It has a LOT of customization possibilities. Thank you Soo much !!

Anyone knows how to root acip on a secondary? (MultiRom)
Tried magisk 15.1 - installed without errors - no root
Then tried superSU Systemmode - bootloop

Thanks in advance
Blade

EDIT: Nevermind xD

 

[abemore]

I linked some git repos. I've never built android, so I don't know what's entailed.

Also added Bliss rom

You don't need to create new thread with same name and everything. You would have just created a new post on that thread.

Bliss 10.0 Beta is highly buggy. Use AICP for now if you want a hands on 8.1.

 

[FBI Surveillance Van #23R]

I have terrible battery life with AICP 8.1. 1:30 screen time and the battery is at 15%. Anyone else with that problem?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Crapatalk

 

[abhilash2908]

Ambient display not working on AICP 13.1's latest build.

 

[FBI Surveillance Van #23R]

Having used AICP 13.1 I can say the battery life was terrible and there were some times when the UI felt like lagging. I suggest Liquid Remix 8.5 28/12/2017 out of them all. Good battery life for an Android 8 ROM plus it has lots of tweakings to do in the kernel and it doesn't feel as laggy.

aicp

security lock cannot work

 

[fruity_senpai]

is it normal that none of the oreo roms provide hardware acceleration on videos? they're always very pixelated. ive tried liquid rom aicp etc.

 

[Tornado15550]

I'm facing an issue with Bliss 10.0 where either Setup Wizard and SystemUI keep crashing after booting into the OS. This occurs on a clean flash (with all partitions wiped). I'll try the latest AICP 13.1 build and report back.
Edit: This seems to be an issue with Gapps. I installed AICP without flashing Gapps.
Edit 2: Reinstalling Google Play Services from APKMirror fixed all issues with Gapps. Everything works perfectly.
Edit 3: Sound seems to be mysteriously broken! There is no audio from the speaker. I'm investigating the issue, and will report back.
Edit 4: Formatting /system and reflashing the ROM brought the audio back. I'm investigating what caused this to occur.

Using Liquid Remix 8.5, it's pretty stable and smooth, was thinking to switch to AICP 8.1 but after reading your post sticking with LR for now

It's a similar thread but different. And to be the most useful and visible, I decided it should have its own thread. I mean no disrespect.

Recent activity lock is not working for me on LR 8.5.
Also is there any way to change font? Anyone tried it on LR 8.5?
