EMUI 3.0 was just released few days ago, unfortunately only for China variant.
It is now under Beta version, receiving feedback from tester.
Already installed on my HAM 2 MT-L05, quite a large changes in user interface. and have the Android L navigation bar.

Thanks! I just posted the article on g+ and tagged the Huawei USA team
Does anyone know what the differences are between the China device and the US device? Processor, ram etc

Processor/GPU is completely different hi silicon kirin v qualcomm snapdragon. Completely different LTE bands. Same amount of ram. Same screen. Data partition is emulated on MT2-L05, but this may have come about when we installed the kitkat update.
Hmmmmm so then a port might not be impossible. I run an S5 port on a Note 3 completely functional. I'll have to ask around and see what some devs think
what about the other ones. mt2-c00.mt2-l01.mt2-l02
the otther china variant have the update as well

So this is just purely cosmetic? Doesn't seem like it's worth the effort since I would have to uninstall TWRP and reinstall my stock recovery, right?

HAM2 ...
I have just rooted a newly purchased HAM2 and completed the root using towelroot. Have been trying unsuccessfully to upgrade the EMUI to 3.0, so I decided to look around and discovered that I need to first update to EMUI 2.3. Does anyone have a full working version of this update??

EMUI 2.3 is only available for the Chinese variants of Mate 2, It's installed alongside KitKat 4.4.2
Emui 2.3 and EMUI 3.0 are currently unavailable for Mate 2 US version.
The EMUI 3.0 update is not an entirely cosmetic makeover as it does add a few new features to the phone.

Yeah, the only way we are getting 3.0 and KK is if someone can port the Chinese ROM and UI over and make the necessary changes so that everything on our devices works.

Well, I guess I have to just put a custom ROM on this bad boy and tough it out until I get this one+one!!!
If u can find one...
Suddenly i am so glad that i got the china version...
So far pretty please with the new ui. But I realise the camera shutter is very very slow.. Almost unusable.. The stock messaging app is a little confusing. And, I can't figure out how to change to another launcher... Anyone have any idea?
I am on b603. Received an ota to upgrade to b606 worth 140mb. Anyone have any idea what it's about?
Uodate: well I did the updating. Nothing seems to have changed. But the root did survive.

Hi. I had the same problem on b606. Nothing would stick as a launcher as Huawei Home always overrides everything.
I got around this by installing nova launcher from playstore ( I'm sure any other launcher will work fine ).
Nova Launcher wouldn't stick as default launcher, Huawei Home always overrode it, so after making sure I had another launcher installed, I installed Rom toolbox pro and used the manage apps setting. I scrolled down to Huawei home, tapped on it and selected "FREEZE". As soon as you do this, the option to set Nova as default launcher appeared and has worked perfectly ever since.
Like I said, you can use any other launcher, just make sure you have it installed before you freeze "Huawei Home"
On a side note, I also had to re-root the rom after installation as root had gone, and I also had to perform the delete "set_immutable_list" hack to get Full root back.
( Bear in mind, I had TWRP installed on my MT2-L05 so the initial b603 OTA update wouldn't install for me, I had to download the full 1.23gb rom from Huawei Website and do a completely new flash from scratch, so this is why I probably lost root )
I also just checked the camera, the shutter speed is ninja fast for me .

Did you have to revert to the stock recovery before you were able to install the update? Wondering if there's a way to apply the update while still using TWRP.
No mate. I didn't bother. I just downloaded the full b603rom from the Huawei website, extracted the "dload" folder to my external sd card, powered down phone, held in VOL UP+VOL DOWN and then held in the POWER on and it just fastflashed the rom over the top of TWRP.
I then had an OTA for b606 which is about 140mb, I installed that and then rebooted.
I just booted into recovery out of curiosity, and now have an EMUI logo recovery with 3 options :
Reboot System Now
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
At least now we finally have full album artwork on lockscreen and media controls on lockscreen....looks pretty cool.
I have tried it with Spotify, N7 Player, Tunein Pro and Pocketcasts and they all display fullscreen artwork and media controls on lockscreen work for all of them.
i currently use metro pcs . i would like to buy a good phone.
ive been considering the samsung j7 but the specs on the honor 5x look better.
ive been reading up and it looks like it accepts the metro pcs sims.
according to various reviews, the main issue with the honor 5x is the android interface.
i would like to know which is the best way to get a stock android rom while keeping the phone functional. ??
would installing a stock android be alot better than the current interface the phone comes with ? { is it worth it }
also .. can i play games like hitman sniper on the honor 5x ??
Got Modacco rom no problems or lags i camera from almost stock android
i just bought the phone from new egg, now im looking for a tutorial that shows how to change to a custom rom.
also... instead of custom rom, will i be able to increase performance by using another launcher instead of emui ??
or
am i better off installing a custom rom for maximum performance ?

Nova Launcher is considerably better than the stock EMUI launcher, though I'm not sure that would increase performance... If a faster phone's what you're looking for, then flash a custom ROM, preferrably one that's debloated and as close to AOSP (stock) as possible, so you don't have Huawei's apps slowing down your device. I'm currently using EMUI and fine with it until fingerprint support comes to stock ROMs, but many people agree that customs are much better, faster and stable than EMUI.
Since you didn't specify wether it's your first time flashing a ROM or doing advanced stuff, I'll advise you to read up carefully and thoroughly about what you're getting into - step-by-step guides are nice, but knowing what you're actually doing will most definitely come in handy in the future!
ive flashed a couple of tablets and phones.
theres two so far im willing to try , cm12 and modaco
ive been doing some research and I have some questions....
1- with cm12 does every thing work fine ? ex. fingerprint hdr etc..
2- with modaco does everything work fine ? ex. fingerprint hdr etc..
i want all of the phones features without any compromise

only the stock base roms have FP support ...Modaco is a stock base rom
none of the CM based roms have FP support - bliss - crdroid - aokp - RR - cm12 and cm13 all fall in this category

Hey. I have the honor 5x too. I installed a rom called resurrection remix os.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/rom-resurrection-remix-os-t3386555)
It is a really solid ROM and increases your performance greatly. It is based on cm 13. Everything works and is stable (on my phone at least). The only thing that doesn't work is the FP scanner. I only tried this ROM so I don't know how the other ROMs for this device perform. So far this has been a really stable option for me. Try it if you want.
Sent from my KIW-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
jimandroidnerd thncx for the input , i will try it first to see the best performance the honor 5x can give.
im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 " because they are either the stock or based on the stock rom.
also i want that fp scanner to work.
WAIT... i just noticed that modaco is only for the KIW-L21 ???
im getting a KIW-L24. what are my best options now with fp support??

Honestly, if you so desperately want FP support, stay on stock, or debloated which would be the most "custom" you'd get afaik. I'm also waiting for FP support so I know the feeling... There are some nice features in EMUI (that Themes customization app is a great thing honestly, I love it, for example) but I would like to run a custom ROM someday. We'll have to wait for the security base release I guess...
ima put in a stock.debloated.root rom and call it a wrap.
if im unsatisfied with the performance ill try resurrection remix os
and just not use the fingerprint.
im getting a KIW-L24 { as mentioned in post #8}
modaco is only for KIW-L21 { as far as i know }
i want a debloated rom that is stable , no glitches .
all reviews i read so far for this phone are positive,
except the emui interface and the preloaded bloatware .
i know im buying a budget phone , but i want it to work as smooth it possibly can

My bad, I missed the conjunction "or" in your sentence : "im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 ""...
But nobody than you can say what is a bloatware or not so even though Clsa's rom is good better create your own ROM removing what YOU consider as bloatwares.
Since Xposed framework v83 you can also install it by yourself without the need of a deodex firmware : you just have to consider the pros & cons of "deodex vs odex firmwares". Actual working version of Xposed framework for the Honor 5x is v85.
The other problem except EMUI is the lack of OTG feature as default and some other few stuffs...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, you actually CAN tell what is bloatware and what isn't, the only difference would be wether you find a particular app useful enough to not consider it a bother on the system...
There's basically no theoretical downside to deodexed ROMs or files, apart from boot time if you wipe dalvik. A question: is Xposed v85 a flashable .zip like normal Xposed? I read somewhere on here that you had to modify system files to do that, but I'f be very happy to know that the Honor 5X now has proper and easy Xposed installation available.
Arobase40 said:
Well I won't argue on what is bloatware or not as this is mainly personal to one another and I won't argue either against deodex vs odex ROM as as I said we now have the choice between apps customizations and ROM performance...
What only matter is your question : you can flash any Xposed Framework zip file with TWRP, but since v83 till v85 you can flash them whether you have deodex or odex firmware and the only change you have to do is to modify the build.prop file.
I actually have Xposed Framework v85 on my odex firmware and it works pretty well.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So by flashing v85, I still have to change the build.prop file? Is there any guide on doing this? Honestly I'd rather wait for v86 if it means not having to edit system files, but if it's unavoidable, then I guess it can't be helped...
just got the phone yesterday. after i deleted some apps and changed emui to "google now launcher"
it seems to run fine. ill give it a week before i start changing the rom
Arobase40 said:
I don't think a v86 would be of any help, just a new Xposed framework installer app...
Otherwise you simply need a root explorer (or kind of same app with root rights).
If you don't want to do the changes directly into your system, you can copy the build.prop file to your Sd Card (keep an unmodified copy somewhere just in case), and do the changes from there with a notepad or such. Then copy the modified build.prop back to the system folder keeping the same permissions and reboot... That's it !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm actually reluctant to modify system files if at all possible not to do so since I almost bricked my 5X doing just that (well, kind of, stupid mistake but still...). I'm missing the easy Xposed framework installer honestly. I really hope someone creates an installer for this, or a single flashable zip that also modifies build.prop...
I also just got the device yesterday. Was surprised it allowed me to delete the bloatware on it! I guess they were nice and did not install them on the system partition.
ALso interested in any performance tweaks. Like the phone and os in general but with "budget" processor it would be good to have it running as light on resources as possible.

For performance there are custom, stock or debloated ROMs, and in case you're looking for something in addition to EMUI in order to make it faster I recommend you the apps "L Speed", "Greenify" (guessing you already know this one), and "Kernel Adiutor" if you're into kernel tweaking. Putting your cores on Performance governor should speed the device like hell, at the cost of battery life, but you can tweak it to a smaller degree and find your balance.

Wrote a post on the thread that was ignored, lol. It says on the FAQ that there can be problems with Huawei/Xiaomi as they are chinese manufacturers and do things differently to, say, Motorola, so I'm guessing I won't get a reply no matter how loud I cry out.

But I was polite though... I think. It's probably got more to do with the fact that it's the general Xposed thread so your message gets buried behind bug reports and other questions, I guess. I was searching for other ways of contacting the dev but desisted upon finding that in the FAQ.
According to Xiaomi India, MIUI 11 "might" get out of beta on 16.10.2019.
On a personnal note, I don't believe the Mi 9 will receive the update first since there are now several models already on MIUI 11.
Aside from the A series without MIUI (Android One), I won't ever touch a Mi phone in the near future.
The ROM building is a disaster, the Mi 9 is en route to being updated last, EEA ROM still having notifications problems...
Bleh.

That's the same date what xiaomi is advertising since 2 days so it should be possible. And if you dont like the Stock Rom, switch to xiaomi.eu. All Bugs from Stock are not present there and if you dont follow the Installation Tips from most users you will never have any problems. Btw. Use lrteam twrp and not maronofrio. Even if its included in the xiaomi.eu Rom just Flash lrteam twrp after flashing the Rom and everything else you need. Its allways based on latest China beta (without bloadware and ads) All features are opend to every body even without a xiaomi Account. You allways get the latest Android Version, security Patch and miui Version that are existing. Sometimes you have to wait a week for a security Patch but thats nearly Pixel Niveau. For example Android 10 was there a few months ago (without Bugs) miui 11 is there for two weeks now (without Bugs) you get weekly Updates. And with magisk and/or xposed you can change the whole System as you want it even like Stock Android (except for the settings App). Xiaomi.eu is the allround Rom for everybody who likes to mod his System as Hard as you can(just if you want tofor sure) and stay up to Date with a Rock stable System. Just dont Listen to the dozend users Posting their bugs/problems on xiaomi.eu forum or here on xda, 99% of These problems are in Front of the Display and not behind it. If you need some instructions, Flash latest lrteam twrp (1001) Flash latest xiaomi.eu Rom (10.10.) Flash magisk (if you want to) and if you want allways working Backups (even over different Android Versions and different twrps) remove encryption (included in twrp "advanced" (rm force encrypt) ). After that just Flash lrteam twrp img again (just from within twrp) because xiaomi.eu Rom Installation will over write it. For updating the weekly you just habe to wipe "System (yes even if devs say you dont need to) dalvik and Cache" Flash Update, Flash magisk, rm force encrypt, Flash lrteam twrp img, reboot and you are happy forever. I am dirty flashing Updates for over 4 months now every week and never had a single Bug with this method. I know this Was maybe a little bit ot sorry for that.

A very clear write-up. I appreciate your time and efforts. I am using MIUI 11 (lastest version released last friday) and it is working very fuild smooth and also no bloatwares. I have customised to my taste and works better. I like xiaomi mi 9 for the simplicity in modding ourselves.
Are they releasing Global and EEA ROM in the same time or EEA ROM will came a little bit later after Global ROM?
Is anybody know this?!

Sorry, but that's just not correct.
You are right in the fact that some, or most, of the bugs in the stock ROM are not on Xiaomi.eu ROM, but it's a trade-off, you trade some bugs for other bugs and for some other stupid ideas from the developers.
Xiaomi.eu developers hard mod the ROM themselves, a lot of stupid choices going on there. For instance, the developers thought it is a good idea to remove the Message notification option from the settings, because they think SMS messages are just like any other notification, and their advice, if you want to have a different sound for SMS notification, is to go to App Info and modify from there. Of course, that DOES NOT WORK, the sound gets reset to default notification sound every single time, but they don't fix that or restore the freaking option in settings. And the list can go on and on.
Also, the stock apps are a mess, because they are not really the Global ones, but not Chinese versions either, they are also modded by the developers of Xiaomi.eu, so they work like crap or not at all in some cases. Forget about updating them, there is no way to do that unless you install the APK directly and then, in most cases, they works even worse.
Basically, xiaomi.eu is a pain to live with, it might be nice for those who just use the phone to look fancy and to take a few pictures, but if you actually USE the phone, it's crap.
That being said, the Stock ROM is no joy either, it gets updated once every 3-6 months and basically, like 10% of the features and fixes from the defunct Global Beta make it to the Global Stable. So yeah...for short, Xiaomi can make great phones, but they make crap ROM and there are no decent options of a good ROM, in my opinion.

What are you talking about? Mi8 alredy has android 9. So both Mi 8 and Mi 9 will get android 10.
Don't spread and hoax!!
I guess the wait for Mi9 is the android 10 update...
But i thought Mi9 SE is getting also getting android 10. Maybe it will get android 10 later?
edit: Didn't see page #2, allready answered...

No. Thats a beta update. Not Global Stable update.
Hi guys,
this is my first experience report about my new Poco X3 NFC with Miumi 12 after 14 days in use....
To explain: 2 years ago i got my first xiaomi redmi note 6 pro global. This machine is a fine thing, but i never liked the miui surface. So i decided to unlock and root the phone and use a custom rom. This was the very best decision for me.
So far, so good... At least i bougth my new Poco X3 NFC and i got 14 days ago. I heard a lot of "good" things about the new Miui 12, so that was one reason for me to catch this deal....
After nearby 14 days using this phone with this original surface Miui 12 i can say: it sucks, nothing else but the original apps are running smooth. It is nearly impossible to run an alternative launcher, really nothing runs flawless on this terrible, awful surface! The simplest things like "notification badges" etc. are not present, they still are not in function...
Ok, Miui "spend" a launcher: Poco Launcher. Hmm, nearby, but (for me) lightyears away from any kind of personalization. Change icons? Runs partially... Want to unlink the fu..... ring- and notification sounds? Misrepresented!!! This (for me) confusing settings menu? There is no better thing than a clean android system or custom rom!
The next annoying crap is the annoying advertising - i spend a "little" time to "destroy" this really sucking "feature".....
Oh, before i forgot: i tried to run the launchair launcher, ruthless launcher, nova launcher, microsoft launcher and at least hyperion launcher. With all this launchers it is on my phone totally impossible to run all features - on every other phone with custom rom or original they run like hell!
The one and only way to operate this phone "fine and smoothly" is this: leave it in its original condition! But who wants this? Personalization? Inadequate....
But yes, there are two things they are fine: the energy options and the camera app. But thats it for me.
So, this is my experience after 14 days and the next thing i will do is unlock the bootloader, install a recovery systen (maybe twrp or orange fox) and root the phone with magisk. With this solution i hope to improve some things - i 'll keep testing this
Best wishes and greets
I'm using Nova Launcher on all devices since a couple of years. Mui has the habit of preventing background tasks and autostart(never saw this before) for all apps except Xiaomi and Google ones and probably a few other. Autostart, notifications and widgets i only need for a handful of apps(including the launcher), and none of these worked out of the box.
But all relevant options are bundled in the app's context menu, no scrolling thru huge lists including all the system apps. Simply allow autostart, disable powersaving and give the app more or less all access rights. Running pretty well now. It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful, so thats not an issue at present.
Hi lecorbusier,
thanks for your answer.
With your sentence >It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful< your totally right
Yesterday i unlocked my X3, flashed TWRP - and wow: System destroyed....
Turned to fastboot, flashed OrangeFox, puh, it 's not broken....
Flashed Magisk also and today i will see what happen....
Lmao, who told you that MIUI is a good thing. It's ok, but compared to custom ROM it sucks.
If you want to try custom ROM, ArrowOS is the best optimized custom ROM + Void custom kernel If you want maximum fluidity/smoothness as it's optimized for minimum latency and jank. Battery life is still good in my usage, maybe 2 hours less maximum, but it's worth it. With stock kernel, SOT is a bit better.
ArrowOS gets improvements every day on ROM side with fixes & improvements + occasionally improvements & fixes to the device side.
I tried 5 other custom ROMs (crDroid, Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 17.1, CorvusOS, NitrogenOS) and that's my experience.
Everything works except fast charging information with Xiaomi charger (all custom ROMs have this issue) & Miracast (which I'm not sure if it works or not since I never used it).
So all in all, just flash custom ROM in this one too!
Devil's advocate here ( ), Xiaomi.eu with updated firmware and Stormbreaker kernel feels smooth as butter here -- but it takes some intensive tweaking.
Hi there, good morning from Germany
A short "update"....
After "repairing" (see 3 posts above) I've done the following:
Installed Lsposed (Magisk), installed CustoMIUIzer and started "playing" with the mass of settings in it....
What should I say: I'm pretty impressed.
Almost everything is going as hoped and does what it should! Till now I got no numbers on my notification badges, but this is a part I can live with.
That doesn't mean that i have changed my opinion about the MIUI-Surface, especially the terribly nested settings.... But with a bit of work you can establish a relatively well-running system that you can personalize according to your wishes.
So for the moment I'm pretty happy, but I'm still testing...
Ah, before i forget to mention: magisk and safetynet was another problem. I have found a module that works (for me), look here
So, thats it for today, many greetings and happy easter
Hello everyone,
here 's another short update for miui....
The good news first: it runs, Ruthless Launcher is working, original camera app is fine, other things: see my post above...
That 's it!
Unlock by (or with) bluetooth??? Fail! It seems that Xiaomi only supports its own devices - what a crap.... I clearly miss this function.
I stick to my opinion: miui sucks....
The only point that keeps me from installing a custom rom is the camera app (at least for the moment)...
My conclusion: to use all possibilities of this device you "must" use a custom rom, otherwise you have to live with the restrictions

My main reason to keep Xiaomi.eu, too. When LOS becomes official, I'll brace myself for intensive testing of camera alternatives...
for me, personally, i dont like miui as well. luckily we have a bunch of custom roms out there and even i found a better rom for my daily use, i still try flashing some rom to experience some other features. tho, at the end of the day, i end up using my rom that i am using daily. if you want the rom with alot of customization, have a good BB, and have miui camera, i suggest to use Ancient OS
Hi all together
@dahrel22: thanks for your tip, it seems like this is what i was looking for...
I think I'll test it out, I can't do more than break it
Have a nice Sunday, many greetings from here...

yes bro you better try it. im currently using the old build which is the miui verdor based. the new build comes with oss vendor but i think im not ready to flash it. i having trouble keeping my phone decrypted from oss vendor based roms. so i'll still be using the old build.
After the updates my Poco x3 NFC restarts in stand-by mode or when I'm using whatsapp, suddenly the screen goes to black..and then back to the homescreen... :/
Does anybody tried a custom rom? I would like to give a try.
Hello to everybody,
here 's my newest experience with "Miui-machine"...
I tried the tip from dahrel22 (see 4 posts above) und flashed Ancient OS 5.3 - I did everything according to the description, but in the end I had an encrypted partition on my phone....
Yesterday I had the great idea to cleam my device up und flash it again...
What can i say: it was a horrible trip
Like before I 've done everything as described - but it ends with a lot of issues like "no root" and "no system" directory, unable to mount system partion and so on and so on... This action cost me a lot of annoyance
(I tried this with two custom roms: Ancient OS 5.4 and Evolution X).
I was then able to revive the device using fastboot and the mi flashtool.
The Mi-Flashtool also ended with an error, but the system works - for whatever reason???
So at the moment I'm "driving" this damn Miui again and I'm really pissed off!
Maybe someone from you has a "smooth" idea to solve my problem??
Many greetings and thanks

im feel so sorry when i read your experience. maybe some confusion because 2 builds at the same version have different vendor based. both of them are comes with 5.3 but one comes with miui, one comes with oss. as i say i really have a hard time to keep my phone decrypted on oss when im using orange fox (now im in twrp but still no planning of flashing oss) if you flashed the old build, i mean the miui vendor based build, i think the outcome will be better.
what version of miui are you into right now?
edit: you know i feel bad for you as you need to do this "mi-flashtool" kind of stuff. next time, if you make mistake flashing something, i suggest just to flash miui rom again (miui eu will do) using recovery (i suggest twrp). i did that before many times and it never fails me.

Hi everyone. I still use this amazing phone. Currently on latest official firmware android 12 with bootloader unlocked. I decided since I have never formatted it, to now format and reinstall the best firmware / kernel etc cleanly to get it back to it's full potential.
I'm looking for recommendations on android 12 roms, any kernel that increases performance and possibly overclock, and any other tweaks for sound/cameras/software features from newer devices you would recommend.
Also I have a couple of everyday apps I wish to use (namely banking and netflix) that are affected by the unlocked bootloader and won't support my phone correctly. Any way to rectify that without locking the bootloader? If not, if I lock the bootloader can I still use a tweaked rom/kernel?
Thanks in advance!
Is this board dead already?

I don't know, but I think everyone is moving from forum's to Telegram. At least when it comes to custom roms. I wont use Telegram because it wants me to set my phone number, and I can't do that.
Last time I used custom roms was when I had a Nexus 6. Compared to my Nexus, flashing for our Oneplus is a mess. For flashing custom roms, for some roms you need to be on Oxygen 11 and for some you need to be on on Oxygen 12 (which I'm still waiting for). So before choosing what rom you want to try, one needs to decide if you should update to Oxygen 12 or not. Some roms based on android 12 you need to flash from Oxygen 11 or you will loose Widevine L1 if you are unlucky. This is not a problem if you don't care about Widevine.
As you, I want a rom based on android 12 as rom based on android 13 is still under development and might be buggy. I want it to be as stable it can be... The rom I am planing to try first is Flamingo OS 12. This one unfortunately does not have a thread on xda, and conversations is only over Telegram. Here is a guide if you want to try it.
I would not recommend to use any custom kernel as you wont get any help from developer (if you see a bug in the rom), and I doubt there is any gain of using custom kernels on a custom rom.
Sorry to not having any recommendations for you!
Thanks..its sad xda is so dead nowadays. I think I'll just factory reset and keep the official android 12 rom which I already have installed. Do you have any tweaks to propose for sound or camera or anything that can be installed as an addon to the existing rom?

No sorry, no tweaks. I have mostly seen people ask to install Oneplus camera when they are on custom roms as that seems to be the best camera for Oneplus phones. So best is to keep that. Second best camera app I guess is Google Camera app.
For sound I have always disabled any extra sound features (like Dolby Atmos) mainly because I dont want any equalized sound coming from my phone to my car stereo. I already have a DSP for equalizer settings in my car for that. I have tried some equalizer apps for fun but none seems to work for our phone. At least not sound over bluetooth. Is sound on OOS 12 worse than on OOS 11?

I don't know to be honest, it sounds the same to me but I am not so nitpicky. OOS12 is fine in my opinion. Some minor bugs that I think are due to having it dirty flashed over OOS11 (e.g. after most restarts I need to re-enable the automatic orientation toggle for the screen). Battery is better though. I'll stick to it with official camera app and google camera. Most likely lock the bootloader again to avoid issues with the apps that now don't work due to the unlocked. Keep it for a few more months and then move to a new phone. It has been a great device so far.

I would wholeheartedly suggest trying custom ROM. Derpfest is still very actively updated ROM with a lot of customization possibilities. And the community on Telegram is very active. Also derpfest also includes Oneplus Camera app by default as well as necessary Gapps.

The issue is that with unlocked bootloader I can't use some important everyday apps like bank / netflix properly. In any case can you share a link so I see what you are referring to? Also how do I participate in its telegram? Lastly what makes you recommend it? Any new tweaks / benefits it offers vs stock?

Ok, so with bank, it's easy. In Custom Rom you can just easily install magisk and after that, just use a mode to hide the unlock from Gpay and voila! Everything works. I have the Gpay, Revolut and no one knows ****
With Netflix it's even easier. With the same hiding method, you can hide the unlock from all necessary apps, like Netflix or games or whatever, plus if you don't do hardcore changes in the system Netflix will still show UHD content, because of the Widevine L1. To be fair, i'm recommending the custom ROM, because i'm sick and tired of the OOS unfinished and buggy software. It started in A11 and it continues in A12. Looks like the last normal Oxygen was A10, so there's no other choice as to revert to custom. You can read a bit about the differences between OOS and custom Roms here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-a11-rom-picking-guide-2nd-october-2021.4341961/
The rom i've decided to continue on myself is Derpfest, as it's suggested as the most battery stable one with lots of customization and integrated good practices from OOS. The install process is a bit funky but you can try the telegram here: https://web.telegram.org/k/#@DerpFestOP7Series. Ask your questions, read a bit, and when you will feel confident, you can try to install Custom ROM yourself. DON'T FORGET ABOUT BACKUPS!!!!!!!
If something, we can chat or discord and do the stuff together, if you'd like.

I dunno about this weekend, but yeah, I can help you. Here's my discord: UltimatE_FatE#5506.
Just small additional note I'm gonna try to flash this custom ROM myself first in these following days and test it out profoundly. But don't worry, if we will not like the custom ROM, i'll show how to revert back to OG OOS and how to make it not so sucky.

Ok sounds good. One thing I'm concerned, I used to have magisk on official rom but netflix/bank app still didn't work as intended... Are you sure it works with that rom?
In the meantime I'll backup everything to be ready for the procedure.
