xXx NoLimits ROM for OnePlus3/3T
Fast Snappy Smooth Stable



About the ROM

OxygenOS based ROM for OnePlus3/3T
Android 7.1.x

OxygenOS 4.1.7 – Stable Version
Security Updates: Aug 1, 2017

OxygenOS Open Beta 23/14
Security Updates: Aug 1, 2017

The base of this rom is very close to the original OnePlus OxygenOS.
This is not a commercial project but my hobby. I developed this ROM as my daily driver and I decided to share it with you. My focus is not at all on graphical mods, or achieving best battery life, but to get the best user experience in terms of speed, smoothness and max RAM usage for best multitasking. This is what you get.



Major flash options
SuperSU Root v2.82 SR3
Magisk Root v12 (passes SafetyNet)

Magisk Root v13.6 (passes SafetyNet)

-> Kernel selections <-
Stock Kernel (Default)
Boeffla Kernel

xXx Tweaks
Windows Animation Scales
Xposed Framework by the PurifyOS Team
ARISE+Magnum+Opus
Extreme Debloating
Busybox v1.27.2
SDcard Permission fix
Nova Launcher
Lawnchair Laucher
Pixel Launcher
Android O Emojis
iOS10 Emojis
AdAway 3.2
iYTBP modded YouTube
Google Dialer




xXx System Tweaks
I added several tweaks on different levels to make the rom faster and snappy.
These tweaks also improve multitasking and maintain the system to be constantly fast.
6GB RAM can hold a lot apps and services in the background. If you like apps to popup in virtual no time I recommend you to not close them when you change to another app but just put them to the background. Also, when speed is more important to you than window animations you can reduce the 3 Animation scale values in the developer options.



Debloating

The rom is light debloated already and removes only apps which could be downloaded anytime later from Google Playstore
I also included a flash option to select Extreme Debloating. This will debloat the rom down close to a core Android level. You need to enable this option to take advantage of it.
The advantage is even more speed and battery saving as less unused apps and services are running or even more free RAM to hold your favorite apps in background.
The downside is that you might miss certain apps or functionality but definitely nothing what will make your android unstable.



Sound enhancement
This ROM includes Viper4Android by default unless you disable it in the flash options. I also included my favorite profile which you will love for sure as well.


Kernels
Currently you can choose between 2 different kernels.
The default kernel is obviously the stock kernel for highest compatibility and stability.


If you are looking for more speed and tweaking options I included already the Boeffla Kernel but there are much more very good kernels available. Just visit the different kernel threads to see which kernel fits your requirements best.



Flash Options

[FONT=&quot]☆[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Aroma based Installer
A folder called xXx will be create on your sdcard which will store a prop file called xXx.NoLimits.op3.profile which stores all your setting made during your last xXx NoLimits ROM flash. Next time you flash the same or new version of the Rom you will be presented with the same selections again.​
Another intelligence is that even I add new options, or reorder items, or even move items to other/new menus in future rom versions, it will still remember your previous selections.​
The first Aroma screen is already the Main Menu where you can​
select to walk through all available options​
or choose the Fastlane mode which skips all selection screens and flash the Rom based on either default settings or your personal settings from your last selection session.

Color Codes
Blue = Indicates that this will open an additional screen with options
Red = Gives you a heads up to think twice if you want to change the option
Orange = Standard selection theme color

Important Notes:

Xposed for Nougat is still in a very early stage. It’s actually working but I don't help if you experience any issues.
Even using Magisk Hide, SaftyNet will fail and Xposed might also cause unpredictable issues.
The good news is that if you don’t like it you just go back to the aroma installer, deselect Xposed, re-flash the rom and you are back to normal.

If you install the iYTBP modded YouTube app, or Google Dialer you need to make sure to disable PlayStore Updates for these apps. Otherwise the modded version will be updated to the latest official version and the benefits of the modded versions are gone.

What's the disable user system service
good question. I didn't mention that yet in the OP. I first tried to get everything live yesterday and today I will add some more facts.

You will find more information about the "Disable SystemUpdateService" here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.swineson.disablesystemupdateservice

It fixes a SystemUpdateService wakelock which might keep your device awake. I implemented this some time ago in my S5 rom and many users reported back that it actually helps. So I left it for the OnePlus rom as well. I used it from the beginning with my OnePlus3 and can't say if and how much it helps but it definetly don't harm.
