Flamingo OS - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

Hi!
Wondering if someone have tried out Flamingo OS on Oneplus 7t Pro and have some insights if its any good and suggest best practice on how to flash it?
Unfortunately there is no thread here on xda on this rom and there is only Telegram (I cannot use Telegram), so I thought I try asking question here.
On some roms you need to flash from oos11 if the rom is based on android 12 and some roms you need to have oos 12 to flash a rom based on Android 13. I still haven't got oos 12 so would it be better to flash Flamingo 12 or can I flash Flamingo 13 from oos 11? I know I have to unlock oem from oos 11 or i will loose windevine L1, so I will do that first.
If any one have some pointers I would be grateful.

Flamingo OS is no longer updated.
"So here is a formal obituary for flamingo.
Since neither me nor Pranav has / can spent enough time towards development, there will be no more updates until further notice. Feel free to switch to other roms, idrc. So when we actually get free (none of us knows when exactly so there's that), if we still have the passion left then we might continue from where we left off, but no guarantees whatsoever. Had a great run for about a year I think? Anyways thanks for all your support, blah blah blah. Cheers"

That's sad. Have to find another rom then. I might try crdroid as it seems to active.

Onyx ROM : AOKP vs LineageOS

Hi,
As OnePlus is not updating anymore Onyx since last november I'm considering installing a custom rom.
For now my choices are on AOKP and Lineage OS.
I want something light but secure.
I don't need billions of features.
Does anyone has experienced both roms on Onyx and could give some feedbacks ?
Thanks a lot !
Regards,
Lineage is simply no go.
I think GZR are most stable ones.
There is a minimal feature build of jdc available on afh you can try that, imo it is the best nougat based rom for onyx at the moment(may change once pa hits the market).
Try Tesla from the thread here if you are looking fir stable 7.1.2 ROM

I will have a look at GZR.
I never heard about it before.
What's wrong about LineageOS ?
Big Update The King SultanXda Might support onyx.
So whenever his N based rom is out it will be the most stable and complete rom for onyx(he is the best dev out there).
I use XenonHD: fast and stable, ok for daily use, no bugs, tristate ok, updated near monthly. About 4h of SOT.
I red that there's network issues with most of N roms for Onyx.
Is it true and anyone has experienced it with GZR?
Sultan is great but...

I'd rather get Tutorials from Sultan than wait for him to develop OPX ROM - I appreciate he is just trying to survive like everyone else.
He's great but I have to be able to understand & do for myself. I can't afford ISP but would pay SultanXda to put out Tutorial Videos using OnePlus X as an example device, so I could learn from him.
Can't wait for anyone, its too dependent better to learn for myself & teach others so they can be independent too.
I went back to OOS 3.1.4 there are too many apps I don't use on it but I like OOS Style just wish I could remove unwanted google apps get security updates on it at least

I'm very sad to see R5+ development is currently dead. I was hoping someone would build a Pixel Experience or any AOSP based ROM for our device but even the oreo roms are dead or finalized already. So i don't think people have anymore interest in R5+..

The real problem is lack of updated Oreo kernel sources (how much less Pie). This means, for example, that certain display panels (eg, ebbg) cannot be supported by custom ROMs (you might have to go back to Nougat kernels for that).
Why not write to Xiaomi to release up-to-date Oreo kernel sources for vince in the first instance? If enough people make a fuss, perhaps something will happen ...

Xiaomi however isn't listening their customers. A big example is ARB system which absolutely destroys devices. So i guess we are gonna stay dead until something shows up..

General question about custom ROM

Hello guys,
I'm thinking about getting a custom ROM on my p20 lite. I'm an absolute beginner in this topic tho.
I've already looked up how to get a bootloader code via PotatoNV and how to root the phone with TWRP.
While looking for a ROM that suits my needs I realized that it's not that easy like I first thought it was.
For example LOS for p20 lite is not maintained anymore and I stumbled across multiple reports that the camera or fingerprint sensor did not work after installing a custom rom.
Therefore, my question is: Is there a ROM for my p20 lite that is stable enough to use it as a daily driver without the need of countless hours of fixing errors?
I'm not that picky when it comes to the different OS. I just don't want to use EMUI anymore because it feels like the Chinese can see anything I do (totally regret buying this phone btw)
Any help or opinions are very appreciated! Thank you very much!
Model: ANE-LX1
Build: 9.1.9.377
EMUI: 9.1.0

Sorry to sound rude here, but maybe if you try to read whole section you would find the answer...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/anne
"Warning: The Huawei P20 Lite is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support."
The problem is that I don't understand most of the stuff. But This TWRP is DISCONTINUED, "I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch.", "These gapps are unofficial and are in beta stage so you can maybe face a lot of crases", .... sound like I have to put in a lot of effort into this. I'm wondering if it's worth the time if in the end it doesn't work anyway.
A good choice is CAOS. There are a lot of users here running it. And @-Alf- gives great support as long as you read the forum and follow given links.

Question Good phone for custom ROMs?

Hey guys I am seriously considering buying the Note 10 (mojito) and I would like to know your opinions on custom ROMs for it. The Note 10 ticks all the boxes for me, but I worry that phones like the Note 10 PRO and PRO MAX will take most of the attention of Devs and therefore custom ROM development in mojito will not receive much attention. Do you think this is a valid worry?
I want my next phone to run deGoogled ROMs (like LOS), is mojito going to be a good choice for this?
Right now in my country its price is very good, while the PRO/MAX variants haven't arrived yet. It will be some time before they do, and even more before their price drops. So mojito is a very strong contender for me.
To clarify, I am not complaining there isn't a deGoogled custom ROM yet, only asking if you guys think it will get them.
I already use a custom ROM without Google, dotOS 5.0.1.
Installation of the Vanilla Version (without Google Services/Apps) via PE/AOSP or Lineage Recovery and ADB sideload.
Here are the instructions:
Install PixelExperience on mojito - PixelExperience Wiki
Install PixelExperience on mojito - PixelExperience Wiki
wiki.pixelexperience.org
Just take dotOS ROM from here (instead of Pixel Experience ROM).
Afterwards the APKs for microG:
Download - microG Project
Activate all checkboxes in microG settings, reboot and disable battery optimization for all components.
F-Droid and Aurora Store working, from there you can get the MozillaNLPbackend and NomatimNLPbackend and Deja Vu for location services without using Google.
There is no need to worry. It's will claim a lot of development. the most reason was to not see a lot and lazy at the beginning is on our Device (mojito/sunny) we don't have Recovery partition! which let our development slow but we have a good stuff of developers that's works hard and got us on the road as you see the roms are coming till now we got 6 roms and 3 recoveries and Orangefox soon.

Amazing man, this is awesome. I was not aware that there was a deGoogled ROM for it already, nor that dotOS existed and was so slick. I will definitely take a look at this.
Does it pass SafetyNet?
Would you happen to know who the developer/maintainer for that unofficial ROM is? I looked around and couldn't find a page for it here on XDA.
Nevermind, saw here that there isn't an XDA page for some ROM for the the time being. Since I have never flashed a custom ROM on any phone, I will wait for one to see what are people's experiences with it.

Sweet, this is comforting. I am really looking forward to deGoogling my phone, but am a little hesitant since I have zero experience flashing ROMs hahaha. Was going to go for a phone with Official LOS support but models available to me are the same price as the Note 10, but nowhere near as good.

On unrooted dotOS with just microG: no.
However, 2 out of 3 banking apps work.
After testing dotOS (vanilla) with microG for a couple of days and with a lot of apps, I'd say it's not usable as a daily driver yet.
There are problems with most apps that use maps, like Uber or Wolt or DHL parcel service.
They generate error messages that google services are not properly installed and quit or malfunction.
However, microG and the corresponding locations services install perfectly and don't show any errors.
I didn't have such problems with other ROMs on other phones (but always using microG), e.g. crDroid or ArrowOS or LineageOS.
Thanks for the feedback. Is that the only issue with the ROM?
I am really sold on DotOS, it is very close to stock and has very beautiful customizations. My problem with the one that is available so far is that it doesnt look very transparent (at least to me). No source code available, no page here. And I dont know how serious the Dev is about maintaining it, nor how credible he is as well.
Not really trying to test every ROM, just find one that is stable, deGoogled and maintained.
I think you're a couple of months too early with your questions, the phone is pretty new and the ROMS and recoveries in a very early state.
hahaha yes, I am afraid so.
My phone's battery is starting to act up, so I will have to make a purchase soon. May take a leap of faith on this phone and see how much attention it gets from the dev community
Thanks for your feedback!

MIUI based rom

Hello everyone!
For a while now I've been looking for a MIUI based ROM for my P20 Lite, currently I'm using Lineage OS.
I found on a site a One OS GSI ROM but I don't know if it can be installed on the device.
Has anyone tried installing something like this and could give me any recommendations or maybe know of a better option?
I would really appreciate your help.
The link to the site where I found the ROM is this: https://tweakguy.com/download-one-os-miui-12-5/
It's GSI, it can be installed on any phone with GSI support, however, the problem is the boot process, and if it booted up, it'll probably load a lot of bugs which needs maintenance by a maintainer.
Also I don't feel comfortable to these sites, if that's true, it should be shared amongst a lot of forums.
Hello, don't download MIUI, OneUI or any other skins not designed for our phone. Only AOSP firmware based on phhusson sources works on our device!
You can try MIUI 11 Lite GSI (so far the only one that has booted) . But there are a lot of bugs - fingerprint, NFC, setup wizzard, USB debugging, device certification ....
