Stock ROM vs Custom ROM

[L22EEW]

I've yet to set-up my new OP5, as i'm still undecided whether to stick with the stock 4.5.4 ROM, or try 1 of the custom ROMs that are currently available.

Who's stuck to stock, and who's tried/trying a custom with a kernel?

Stock ROM = ROM that was supplied with the OP5
Custom ROM = ROM that has been shared on forums by developers. etc.

As off now I am on stock but will surely be going over custom ROM and custom kernel. Custom ROM and Kernel surely gives some extra benefits over stock(battery backup and many other features.)

So just test the phone for any HW defects or any for a week or so and you are good to root.

As far as I'm concerned, stock is a custom ROM. Not sure which option on the poll to pick...

By custom, i'm refering to custom ROMs that XDA users have shared on the forum.

Most of what I needed custom ROMs for in the past can be accomplished with oxygen OS now so I probably wont be installing anything aside from OEM updates until they stop supporting this device, if I still have it at that time. And when I do, it's just to try out whatever the latest OS is so I'm familiar with the new features when I do upgrade.

I think the most I will do for now is root, and TWRP but I'm still up in the air about that.

I think Oxygen OS works really nice at the moment, i will stay stock for now.
Updates will come rapidly from Oneplus thus the custom ROMS are not worth it for me at the moment.
Once Lineage or RR Remix arrives i will switch to custom ROMS

I'm on FreedomOS and it's very faster then original OxygenOS... I like this for now better than the original one

I've had my OP5 since yesterday and it's been fantastic and I haven't felt a need to use a custom ROM at all. I also usually add a custom kernel to I can change sounds and increase vibration sensitivity (may still do a kernel). I'm getting just over 9 hours of SOT with everything stock. I mean hell I used Google Maps today for 1 hour straight and it only used 6% battery!? My Nexus would have lost at least 18-20%.

When it's all said and done, I'm sure I'll get the itch to ROM and kernel this phone, but this is truly the first phone I don't feel a need to right now. Of course I rooted the phone and applied TRWP the first 5 min I had the phone haha. That goes without saying for my root apps like TB, Accubattery and Nova Launcher.

Can anyone check if the jelly effect is still there after they flashed the custom roms?

that's exactly what i would do

I really like the stock ROM. Coming from Samsung and LG phones, the OP5 is already running the type of ROM I'd likely flash to those phones if I could. I did root it though, and I'll likely stay this way unless something really compelling comes up, or OP stops updating it.

 

[Rd. Vortex]

Using stock for now. I personally see no point in switching to custom until AOSP/LOS based ROMs begin appearing. It's still going to be Oxygen OS with basically the same features if I'd switch now.

 

[iboyperson]

As of now i'm sticking with stock. The phone is still young and i expect software updates to happen more frequently. As soon as the ROM's have more time to be developed and mature and OnePlus slows down the updates I will probably switch. As of now all the ROM's and recovery's are still in development and I am choosing to wait till it smooths out a little.

I have tried AICP, Tipsy OS, Mokee, Lineage, Hydrogen os. I would say Stock is the best. My present setup.

Hydrogen Os 3.5.0
Root via Chainfire Super su
Official TWRP
decrypted
Android o emoji's
A few tweaks.
Enjoying every bit.

May switch if CMTE (CM theme engine) comes to lineage Is, not a fan of the present theme engine.

Rooted, because wanted to get rid of the annoying ads and have some tweaks

 

[alukarulz]

I'm on xXx 2.0 Stock ROM and it works great. I will wait until everything is working to move to custom rom.

 

[L22EEW]

FreedomOS is a very good rom.
Also with Boeffla, Magisk.

Anyone can confirm if zoom 2x and PhotoEditor, for Camera, are working on CUSTOM Roms ?

May I ask, how is your idle drain on H2OS? What did you tweak to improve battery life?

I'm on H2OS too (so far unrooted), and idle drain is crazy... I even uninstalled Google Play Services (using Yalp Store to get Google Play Apps). Now Android System and Android OS kill my battery haha.

 

[WareDat]

Stock OOS 4.5.6
Rooted with Magisk
Pixel Launcher, Android Messages, Google Dialer

Works great!
