Dear LinhPhi9x94,
Thank you very much for BlurOS Release2!
Cool build !!!
Looks interesting. Is this ROM based on CM?
Can't log in to my Google account during setup, if I skip signing in it advances to the groovy blue/purple Blur logo on white background with the network speed and battery logo at top right corner but can't get past here... secret?
OK now, fourth time was the winner with a few manual reboots.
Very nice fresh look, unique.
I like it. Good job.
Does this ROM actually use 3.10 kernel?
Can we flash supersu 2.65 or above for this rom as superuser is a bit uncertain for some apps and is required to ask again and again after every reboot
Edit : supersu is working
Customization KILLS !!!
Just installed the rom via TWRP 3.0.2. The following are my comments:
♦ The customization is simply awesome *Almost every customization from every kind of rom out there is present inbuilt* Awesome work by the BlurOs team ! (P.S I love lockscreen blur, its present)
* The default wallpaper sucks though
* Camera : Snap Camera (better pictures than sultan's, my opinion)
* Root is inbuilt
* Performance is excellent. The off screen gestures are pretty snappy
* The gallery app is quicker than most
* Battery life will be updated in a day or two
* Addictive Rom ! Do try it people !
Awesome work !! Best rom I've flashed till date !! ♥in it !!
BUG :
# The system update says there is no internet connection, even when the phone has one !
Last time I tried there were some Viet characters/apps. Is it all English now?

If you're a fan of how IOS looks, then this is the perfect ROM for you.
This has the CMTE theme engine installed and has a 4 pre-installed themes you can pick from, one of them is a dark theme which I'm very happy about.
I'm going to keep this ROM on my phone for a few days to see how I like it. I never thought I'd stick with a ROM that replicates the look of iOS, but it's a very interesting idea and It's very refreshing compared to all the stock looking ROMs that are available.
Also, in additition to looking so different from all the other ROMS out there, it has a ton of settings and options that most major and minor roms have, anything you can imagine really.
Edit:
Only downside i've found so far is that there's no way to disable the Capacitive Button Lights.
Edit2:
Can't seem to delete Gapps from the ROM. Un-install them through Titanium backup, but they reinstall themselves after a reboot. Anyone have any ideas?

i installed opengapps as part of the blurOS install process - my regular filters (include/exclude) and things worked well
no major issues. privacy settings, themes work well. Minor issue - phone calls sometimes cannot be picked using the circular green/red buttons and i had to swipe down the notification area to accept calls. Also, the default theme background is white + foreground text also white. Changing to another theme fixed that issue
Hello, what kernel you can try with this rom?
hey guys im getting error executing binary, unable to mount.
im currently using multirom with cm13 on primary and cm12 on secondary.
any solution guys
thanks

The ROM comes with the gaps bre-baked, which is why it's so big. I was trying to delete them so I could use MicroG to immitate gapps, but not actually have any gapps on my phone. But the normal gapps kept getting reinstalled when I rebooted the phone.
I installed rom yesterday. I'm liking the customization provided. Also I feel audio output is far better than all other ROMs i tried. Thanks. I will post my battery review later
I love my Honor 6X. In fact, I've bought 3 of them in my household. The one thing that just drives me nuts though, is the spacing of the buttons on the navigation bar. I've searched and searched online and have not been able to find any way to change it. I'm using the Lineage theme so the buttons are Pixel-like, but I want them spaced out like stock Android instead of so close together. Anyone have any way of doing this? I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked on stock EMUI 5/Nougat.
Thanks!
caseym
Hi caseym. Same here. I purchased 3 of them when the BB deal came out. I'm afraid that you would have to use a custom ROM to get the navigation keys at the spacing of your liking. You can change them with a theme and you can re-arrange them (settings/navigation key) but nothing beyond that, other than changing the resolution (settings/display/view mode). For my taste the current custom ROMs are not ready yet for my main phone though. I've replaced Moto G4 Plus' on which we ran the Invicta ROM (best rom for that phone). Once the custom roms for the 6X reach similar status I'd consider them.
cheers
So, you can choose to use an app like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967 (no root, no Xposed required) or you can manual do that via adb, following the tutorial here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/

accessible to anyone running Android Nougat on Nexus, Pixel, OnePlus, and some Sony, HTC, and Motorola phones. If your device is running software that is close to Google’s software (sorry Samsung and Huawei/Honor users)

Whoa sorry, both methods are a pain to EMUI, didn't noticed that. Well, check this one then https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-enabler-t3615628 it requires substratum, but it should work on many OEMs Roms.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I've looked at some of these options and found exactly what derausgewanderte pointed out. I'll try the substratum mod.
Unfortunately, the substratum theme doesn't work. Try to enable it after installation, it says I have to reboot phone, reboot and it's disabled again. Guess we're stuck with what we have. I don't want a custom rom...battery life on this phone is absolutely amazing and I don't want to chance messing with that. Thanks for the responses.

Guess the same, at the moment... You're welcome.
I agree. It's looking odd especially if you got used to the AOSP looks.
I'm now using LineageOS, which is nice, stable enough for daily.
But I'm curious about all other roms, what are the differences?
I think miui.eu is the closest to stock miui (it's a stock without ads), still contain a lot of mi-malware.
LineageOS is quite close to AOSP, but what about all the AOiSP, PixelEx, Arrow, RR, Nitro, Dot?
What are the major "selling points" of these roms?
From what I read RR is the most ...take them all... rom, that take every mod possible, but I never know about the other.
On personal level I would either prefer Lineage OS or Pixel Experience,bcoz LOS provides a lot of cool features for near stock like experience and PixEx bcoz I love pixels software experience
Well for the moment in my personal opinion i tried all rom's: went back to miui 9 or 10 beta
Installing aosp based custom roms feels like a visual downgrade for me (even the pixel one) its also full of bugs at the moment and its not as near as responsive / smooth like miui sorry
For now, using EU based MI-Globe Rom 8.10.18. Battery life is not great. Rom needs debloating.
Not using poco as daily driver.
Well it depends on user to user some prefer simple UI with good battery life and some prefer customisation with good performance personally I prefer performance over battery life and nothing comes close to stock as of now because most ROMs available for our device are not built from our device trees.

As far as I know, never tried myself, Pixel Ex contains more google apps (and pixel specific apps) than other rom, right?
Have you tried Arrow or Dot or RR.
What are the differences among them?

I'm a RR fanboy from LP days so I can tell you a bit about it. In summary, RR contains almost all customisations from every ROM available in a single package.
But then again, why doesn't everyone use RR? Because not everybody likes a plethora of options, and not everybody needs them.
Try Lineage first with pico gapps. Then, download the add-ons you need from the playstore. When you reach a stable enough condition for your daily use, re-evaluate your needs. If you think you're comfortable with not getting 10+ options of customisation on Status bar clock and happy with what you have, then you've met your match.
Otherwise, hop on mate!

Does the Mi-globe rom have the volume button for Media per default or it's Ringing per default ? So when you are on homescreen when you push a volume button does it change the Media volume or Ringing/notification volume ?
Because on Global it's Media but on Xiaomi.eu it's Ringing..
miui globe rom is the most customizable rom like miui stock rom. Practically you assemble and config the rom of your own way in the globesite. Battery, speed and weekly update whitin rom. to use a different rom of the miui´s on a xiomi is not using the whole potential of the hardware....
Any cusrom with IR cam work? (Except miui based rom ofc)

Actually, I'm quite happy with LOS without add-on.
But I'm also curious with outher roms, how much more customisation I could get out of them.
It all boils down to your preference. each rom has its own implementation of things/features which in my opinion is great since android enthusiasts can choose a rom that fits one's preference.

Is there any bloatware in globe, has it all been removed?
I tried almost all roms myself and in the end setteld with miui eu rom. This means a lot for me since I always flashed aosp rom onto my phone and used Nexus 5X prior to Pocophone.
Miui 10 is actually quite nice looking. And after debloating it runs fine.
To be honest, today you can swap most apps to a different ones you prefer. I personally installed Google Dialer, Contacts, Messaging, Photos, Calendar, Claculator, Notes and uninstalled all build in miui apps. Installed Google Sans font.
Because of this everyday usage is quite close to stock android, with exception of settings and few ui elements.
I personally would love to see good stock android theme for miui 10. I tried few but none of them look very good.

Samsung Pixel Experience PBy CodeFox & OpenSauce9810
What is this?
This is a Semi Generic System Image. That means it's a generic system image that's been optimised as much as possible for our Samsung Devices. This is what differentiates this rom from the one you can find in the Project Treble Forum. I also plan to provide regular updates and improvements very frequently. I'm aiming for weekly if not more.
Why not Rainbow_Dash?
We're a part of the same team and he's taking a break from developing for the moment, so I'm going to do my best to support you with regular updates and support where possible. So his previous version should be considered redundant.
How the heck do I flash this?
It's slightly different than flashing a zip, so here's what you need to do.
Download the image file
Flash the ARH6 Vendor Image to your Vendor Partion from TWRP (Press the Install Image button at the bottom right of where you usually select a flashable zip)
Flash the System Image to your System Partition
Optional if you want root (but reccomended): Reboot to recovery again then flash your choice of Magisk. I use 17.1 as I can get galaxy wear to work with that version.
Reboot your device and you should be good to go! No need to flash gapps as they're included.
What's different to the PE in project treble forum?

MANY THANKS, rom looks awesome!! My screen brightness is set to 100% however it looks like it is on 15% I can hardly see stuff on my screen, is there a way to increase brightness with build prop or something?

Never mind established it was the universal ctsprofile: false that I installed

Thanks is there a way to pass ctsProfile in magisk? It remains falls.
Since my Note 9 is still on it's way and I'm on a S9 now I have a simple question.
In 8.1 AOSP ROM's IMS services and the Iris scanner don't work. Do they work on this ROM? And if Iris scanner doesn't work, can we still use biometric unlocking? I hate fingerprint scanner so on the rear as I use wallet cases and can't easily reach it.
I believe smart lock face unlock does not work. I added my face to it but I'm unable to 'improve face matching'. It simply says cannot start finding your face. And nothing happens when I try to unlock my phone using face unlock either.
Other than that, the typing feels a bit slower than stock Samsung roms. Not sure if it's the touch response or what. I disabled the haptic feedback for the keyboard but it still seems a bit slower. Could be just me though..
Apart from these issues, rom is definitely a daily driver so hats off to the entire team

Download hideprops in Magisk downloads. Reboot to initialise it. then download a terminal emulator from the playstore and type the command "props" without the quotes.
Grant SU to the terminal
then pick edit fingerprint. Select Samsung, and choose the s9+ fingerprint (number 22 I think). Reboot and then CTS will pass.

Iris Scanner will never work in an AOSP Rom. The libs are proprietary to Samsung experience roms.

Yeah it's a little quirk with GSI's unfortunatley. The vibration motor causes somewhat of a delay when typing. Turning off haptic feedback completely seems to make it normal for me. I've gotten used to typing without haptic feedback now haha.

I noticed that you mentioned in the OP that you use Galaxy wear?
A bit OT but is there a way to use the Gear with different roms without having the Gear being reset every time? It just seems to get reset every time I pair with it on a new rom.

I wish there was, I'm so sick of having to reset it I literally use my watch just as a watch most of the time because I'm flashing new builds so often. It's a pain in the neck and I don't know why Samsung did it this way, it's frustrating.
Hi #CodeFox thanks for your work I want to ask you something, I know that the answer will be absolutely no but I loved to give it a try
Can you please make a pixel experience p ROM for Samsung galaxy j4
Awesome

Hi all,
Will Dolby atmos work?
Hi there,
great ROM. Flashed it today and so far everything looks very good.
Just tried out the camera and found a weird bug:
When taking videos (front and back camera), the screen flashes green about every second during recording. The video itself is not affected.
Seems to happen for every camera app.
Any way to fix this?
This is all based on personal opinions and experiences. I mean no offense to any of the developers. None of this should be taken as an insult, because it's not intended to be.
Android 5.x:
- Stock: I'll always like the simplicity in design of the older Touchwiz versions. It was nice, but it got pretty laggy after a while.
- Light Xperion:
- ColorOS: Link's broken.
- MIUI 8: Link's broken.
- MIUI 9: Link's broken.
- ADS Sony: Link's broken.
Android 6.0:
- Stock: Starts lagging so bad after around two years of use. Literally no apps installed other than the necessary ones. No games, nothing. Internal storage kept always empty. Became so laggy that the status bar took literally almost one whole second to pull down. Not really that good of an experience. The system took way too much space and didn't have that many features. Sure the theme engine was nice, but that's about it. There isn't really any point into reviewing this, but i thought it might be kinda interesting, if anyone else experienced the same issues as me.
- MIUI 8: About what you'd expect. It's MIUI. Feature packed, as usual. Sometimes laggy, as usual on a low end phone.
- MIUI 10: Graphics pack over MIUI 8. Looks nice.
- Slim6:
- ADS Asus: Link's broken, sadly. I really wanted to see how it was with all the apps i suggested adding. Should have been pretty much a full Asus experience, except the SystemUI.
- SuperROM:
Android 7.x:
- HalogenOS: Doesn't install, "E3003: Can't install this package over newer build.", which makes no sense because the phone was fully wiped. Tried many times, going from different ROMs back to this. Never worked. It looks pretty nice in the screenshots, even has some custom apps. Quite unfortunate that it doesn't install.
- Odyssey Note8: I personally don't like 3MinitBattery, never liked it. Other than that it lags quite a lot. But it's kinda expected since it's supposed to be a ROM ported from a phone with much more horsepower under the hood.
- SEP Lite: Doesn't recognize the J500F as "J500xx". Refuses to install
- SEP: I just don't get why the Lite version doesn't install. This one installed just fine. Anyway, it's just stock Touchwiz, nothing much to say about it. It runs just fine, nothing more, nothing less. I like the little touches like the Aroma installer and the amount of options are offered.
- WyckedOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- SpaceOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Mokee: Doesn't boot. Artefacts. Booting forever.
- AOSP CAF: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
- CosmicOS: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
- Serenity: Touchiwz, just Touchwiz. Just like SEP, it's just Touchwiz. The same, but slightly different features. Like SEP, it's as fast as Touchwiz can get, which is not very fast, but it's usable.
- XOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- XOSP: Crashes on boot. Massive graphics artefacts. Custom kernels result in bootlooping.
- Ground Zero Validus: Very slow boot compared to the rest, takes way too much time. Glance doesn't work, just shows the lockscreen directly. Doesn't even have an internet browser app installed. The home screen is a random mess. It's not really that polished. But i like that you can make the statusbar transparent with a blurred background. I get what they were doing with the grid style recents, but a more HTC-like approach would have been a lot better, since the grid style only allows 8 apps at a time to be shown, plus they change size depending on how many there are and you can't swipe them to close them, you must hit the tiny "X" button.
- Ground Zero Tesla: Boots the same as slow, but this time it's pre-rooted instead of just having Magisk there to root it yourself. Normally i would complain about it being the same, or about the fact that it's lacking Substratum unlike the other one, but i'm actually very ok with it because i like the features it has. Their custom Kernel Adiutor version supports voltage and sound control, which is a really nice feature. It even has a custom theme, which, yeah, it might hurt some eyes, but it's there at least. It's above average. I wouldn't say good, but it's not bad either and has some unique features. The presentation is messy.
- Hexagon: "No digest file found", but it's installing, maybe if i were to replace the installer script from the other ROMs with this one... Hmmm... Maybe some other time. After finishing installing, it crashed on boot just like XOSP. Graphics artefacts, display slowly fading to yellow for some reason. Doesn't reboot with other kernels, but stays on the boot screen indefinitely.
- DarkNess reDefined: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
Android 8.x:
- LineageOS: First impression was great, as usual with all LineageOS ROMs. It's pretty much the base for all ROMs. it's good if you like clean and simple UIs.
- AOKP: Besides not having an "OOBE", the customization app has a rather outdated design. Also, the app installer crashes every time i tried to install anything. On the flip side, the customization app offers a wide range of options, nothing to complain about that. Can install apps with 1 Click Installer which uses root, or (i haven't tested) with Lucky Patcher.
- Toxyc: The customization was very complex, but it didn't even have an internet browser pre-installed and the messaging app kept crashing over and over again. Unusable, because it doesn't have basic functionalities like text messaging. Another unfortunate one, because the performance was also good.
- ViperOS: I don't have anything to say about it. Good customization app. Nothing more, nothing less. Good performance, almost wanted to stay on this ROM.
- dotOS: Didn't boot at first surprisingly. Got locked up at the Samsung logo. But the issue was the kernel. After i flashed Jet Cooled Kernel it booted right up. After boot, i was met with a really nice UI, a very mature and modern looking customization app and overall no bugs whatsoever. In conclusion, broken kernel, but good performance and stability with any other kernel.
- Ressurection Remix: As expected, it has every possible customization option there could possibly be. You can even customize the customization app. It's just mindblowing.
- Tipsy: Not only the home button doesn't wake the screen, it also has barely any customization and the home screen you're greeted with is quite messy. The theme engine only themes the settings app and the pre-installed Kernel Adiutor, not even the statusbar/QS. You can't even reprogram the keys from the customization app, like you can do on all the other ROMs, to some degree. Too bad the Tipsy theme was kinda cool, black with glowing yellow accents. Even has doze settings, something that the other ROMs don't have. Could have been a lot better, the 3rd unfortunate one.
- crDroid: Link's broken.
- Ground Zero Validus: Link's broken.
- LineageOS GO: Link's broken.
Common 8.x issues: Searching for locations in the weather provider app doesn't work.
Android 9.x:
- eOS: What a gorgeous ROM. Probably my favourie so far. Doesn't have lots of customization, compared to the other ROMs, but the whole UI is already custom. Good performance, very stable.
- LineageOS: About what you would expect from LineageOS. A perfect base ROM. Everything works. Doesn't really do much, but it's perfectly fine. Customizable buttons and LiveDisplay are the main extra features over basic AOSP, which are more than welcome.
- LineageOS GO: Link's broken.
- AOSPExtended: This was, like, GOOD good. I think this might have broken through RessurectionRemix's level of customization. The UI is smooth and responsive, probably the best i've seen so far. The pre-installed themes are really nice. The camera, omg... This phone can actually take good photos, it's incredible. It actually acts like a 16MP camera, the photos taken in daylight are so detailed. The amount of options in that camera app is outstanding, and you can even turn off denoise completely. The only bug i encountered was after flashing Magisk, the wallpaper broke completely. It defaulted to the original AEX one, couldn't change it in any way. After saving a wallpaper and going to /data/system/users/0, the actual wallpaper was the one i set, but the one showed was the default one. Something broke hard, i have no idea how or what. You have to change the wallpaper manually from where the current wallpaper is actually stored, but that means no Live Wallpapers. Installing an app also breaks the ROM, because the install screen replaces the home screen, and uninstalling an app causes the same effect. Needs a restart after installing any app. (Not affected by Google Play install/uninstall, only when manually installing .apk files.). I personally can get over all these bugs, because the battery life is amazing, the performance is probably the best out of all ROMs and it has the customization features i want. I kept this ROM as my main one.
- EvolutionX: Link's broken.
- Kraken Project: Link's broken.
- Ressurection Remix: Link's broken.
- Carbon: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Pixel Experience: Pixel ROM, nothing exciting. Doesn't have customization, doesn't have anything. It's about what you'd expect, it's just stock Pixel UI. One thing i have to complain is that the camera performance is extremely bad and i find it very wery weird that out of all the ROMs, this one doesn't have GCam.
- Bootleggers Shishufied: Doesn't have bugs. Runs fine. Has good customization. It doesn't really stand out in any way.
Android 10.x:
- AncientOS: First of all, wow, how animated everything is. I don't know if i should say it's obnoxious or cute, but i guess it's a bit of both. Nonetheless, i don't mind the animations. I like that it features an AOD, great UI customization and a variety of non-AOSP system apps. Two of the surprising features are Dirac Audio and double tap to sleep/wake. It's actually good. Besides a slight problem with the animation when going out of the AOD mode, i don't see any issues. Overall a fun ROM suitable for daily use.
- crDroid:
- Xtended XQ: I don't like being so negative about stuff, but there are too many problems not to talk about them. First of all, there is no Settings shortcut on QS panel, which i find really weird. If you change anything in the QS, the edit button just shoots offscreen, being unable to change the QS icons without "catching" the editor button while the QS are closing, or changing the DPI to some very high amount. The AOD settings crash the settings app and you're unable to change the AOD style, position, color, font, or anything else. The AOD text function is broken, but at least the image one works, yay... You'd better get used to screen burns, because the AOD is actualy, as literal as it can get, always on, no way to change it, enable a wave function or just turn it off completely. The transparent theme is buggy at best, The colors of the QS, even if you change them to accent color, they are still changing when you extend the QS panel. Yeah, that's about it. It's not that great. At least in terms of performance it was one of the quickest to boot and app opening times were very short.
- Corvus: Imo, the quotes app is really cringe. More or less the same as AncientOS, minus the animations and the fun UI. And mostly stock apps too. Mixed feelings about this one. Average at best.
- Bootleggers Unshishufied: It's nice. Runs well. Doesn't have that much of a custom UI, but i like that it includes non-stock apps, a custom theme from "out of the box" and many customization features. I don't like that LiveDisplay doesn't work. But, yeah, it's fine. I just don't get why the other version doesn't work. Oh, and it doesn't have a camera app.
- Bootleggers Shishufied: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Bliss: By far the best Andorid 10 custom ROM i've tried so far. it has all the customization features i want and even more. The performance is very good, you don't even notice it's an 8 year old phone. Besides a few weird bugs, like not being able to change the wallpaper (also an issue on AOSP Extended) and not being able to disable the AOD, it's overall very stable and functional. I also like that the UI has that extra something, that little bonus touch to stand out from the rest.
- ArrowOS: Link's broken.
- HavocOS: Link's broken.
- RevengeOS: Link's broken.
Android 11.x:
- LineageOS: Tried an earlier build, everything was broken (internal storage not recognized, not saving photos or screenshots, SIM didn't work, SystemUI crashes and other things. That day i wrote "Imagine that everything is broken, but then you dropped your phone on the floor and accidentally set it on fire afterwards. That's how this build of LineageOS feels.", which i think it's absolutely hilarious. But, yeah, now it's fine. Everybody says the bugs have been fixed and it's good for daily use. I may or may not test it again at some point.
Android 12.x:
- LineageOS:
Android 13.x:
- LineageOS: I mean... It works just fine. It doesn't help that the UI looks really bad on Andorid 13. That new quick toggle bar is just useless. So few toggles in view. Just doesn't make sense. As for bugs, only the Gcam Go app doesn't adjust exposure. But that's just an app, it doesn't really count as a bug. Surprised to see that it comes with Dolby. I wanted to enable stereo speakers, but i simply couldn't figure out the mixer_paths.xml. And the ultra dim display toggle is an S-Tier feature, especially because it doesn't seem to apply a filter, but actually tune the brightness. Double tap to wake/sleep is also a feature i wouldn't have expected to see.
Common issues on ALL ROMs: The "INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113" issue occured on all ROMs. Can't install any 64-bit apps.
If anyone has a link or backup of the ROMs i couldn't download because the links were broken, please help me by providing a link. Thank you in advance.
