I’ll be honest, I think for OnePlus 8 pro, and I know no other phone that this applies to. That the stock OS is the best one, not the features or customizability, but OPPO did something where it’s way more stable than any custom rom I can get installed.
since I’ve installed lineage, I constantly run into issues where stuff stutters when switching certain apps, double clicking my camera hotkey or changing lenses will crash the camera app, and I don’t have access to the slow motion camera function in anywhere near the way the stock camera app works.
I’m really annoyed at all these problems and I know it’s technically an “old” phone, but I’m so sick of reflashing and reinstalling stuff. Does anyone have any advice?
I don’t know anything about the 8 line, but support for the OnePlus 7 Pro was also sad. All of the custom ROMs sucked until I found YAAP. No idea what Lineage looks like on this phone yet, but I’ll switch to it when YAAP is no longer supported.
All this to say I don’t think OnePlus is the amazing company with great custom ROM support that it once was. I always heard great things about their phones, but this was my first and last phone from them. I’ll be looking at other companies with better custom ROM support for my future phone purchases.
Running lineage OS on my OnePlus 7 pro. Although I mainly use it to afk osrs, I haven’t run into any issues.
Yeah support dropped off for custom use after 6 and I hear 9 is actively against rooting their phones. I would get a new phone but I literally just dropped $400 and 6 months of back and forth with OnePlus to get my screen repaired
They also are not adding android 14 on a 3 year old phone because that’s how long their service life is
I no longer have a OnePlus, but I believe Project Elixir is pretty decent, might be worth checking out?
I have an 8T, running LOS with MicroG and it works fine for years now.
In which context, no lag while opening or switching between lenses? Switching to large apps? The 8T does have much smaller lenses than the 8 pro so it could be a storage read/write speed thing on my end if I’m hitting some sort of limit within the OS
In the context that I don’t notice any problems like that.
Ah, I thought you were leading to something, that didn’t really add much to the conversation though
