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.
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
Running lineage OS on my OnePlus 7 pro. Although I mainly use it to afk osrs, I haven’t run into any issues.
