I've tried to use Substratum with this ROM but it won't work. Anyone successful?

It's stock and not compatible with oms.

A Mega mirror if possible? Thanks. AFH is taking too long.

Let me know if you want me to delete the link

That's about right. If you take a vanilla nougat rom and and then add the largest gapp package you there you have it.

OK it's due to the largest gapps ... Generally I'm using pico not the largest... Thanks
Is there a way to root to delete some system apps?

Just flash your favorite su app and delete some system apps.
This is just a flashable zip of the stock rom. So there are the same gapps as the factory image got.

Thanks this is great. All the custom roms have too many stability bugs to be reliable enough for a daily phone. As this is stock with no recovery though, could I relock the bootloader while keeping twrp and root - therefore getting rid of the warning message on boot? Would this cause problems?

Omni and LOS works fine for me. Seems pretty table overall to me for daily use.

Anyway to answer your question, locking the bootloader will require you to flash the stock recovery which means you will lose TWRP as TWRP is the custom recovery that replaces the stock recovery.

When you root the device you are modifying the boot.img and system partitions so it won't be advisable to lock the device and try to keep root as it might not function properly and worse could brick your device. Because if anything goes wrong and your bootloader is locked there is no way to fix that issue, the point of keeping a custom recovery is so that you can fix any problem that could arise because of the modified system files.

Ok got it. Thanks for the quick answer. As for the roms, I was using Omni but I was getting crashes when using GPS (Waze) and nfc never seemed to work reliably. I switched to LOS when Omni stopped updating but I've had similar issues with it as well. Stock works well but it would be nice to have up to date security patches.

I am currently using LOS but was on Omni most of the time as Omni was really stable and updated that time. But Omni started eating a lot of battery and stopped providing updates, so I switched to LOS as soon as LOS 15 was released for Robin. GPS worked fine for me on Omni too, it sometimes had problem locking the location but navigation on Google Maps worked as it should. Waze I used a few times it didn't crash that time. But not a regular Waze user.

Did your clean flash the ROM?

Can't tell you about NFC as I sadly have no reason to use it.

By the way, how is your battery? Mine is degrading bad. My SOT has gone from 3-4hrs to 2-2.5hrs. over the 2+ years of owning this device. Not only that, below 30-40% it would shut down on running any heavy app like Camera or Maps or Music Streaming. Battery is degrading badly.
