Custom OxygenOS OneplusX - COSX ROM
Intro
First of, I'm not a developer. I'm just a guy who put a couple of things together. I'm a bit above noob-level, so dont excpect high end stuff like some prestigious developers. That being said, I have put this ROM together because of the lack of ROMS based on our original software for the OneplusX. Don't expect to much, the most things happen under the hood. So no shiny backgrounds or boot screens.
Disclaimer
You know the drill, flashing happens under own responsibility. I have tested everything on two devices, and will not put anything online that can possibily harm or damage our device in any way. This being said, if you need support, ask in this thread.
Open Source
The ROM i have created is for the community, which in my opinion also means it should be fully open source. You can edit everything you want. You can use it as base for whatever you like. No need to ask permission or give reference. Seeing the amount of customized original software, I would be happy to see more custom oos roms pop up. No need to put restrictions on anything. Please just don't bother me with antutu benchmark related complaints.

Hi. @winesh...
I think placeholder threads are not allowed as per the rules...
However, thanks for your contribution ..looking for download link ASAP

I think OP managed to put most of the tweaks one can do to the Stock OOS and created a zip flash package.
IIRC, I did pretty much similar things on my Stock OOS before moving over to CM13.
Good Job OP saving a lot of time for those who want to enjoy the stock experience.
Coud you post a benchmark test?

Good work :good: Might try this as I kinda liked OOS but I'm currently running Marshmallow and CM based crDroid, so also might not go back to Lollipop
Biggest issues I had with the stock OOS 2.2.0 were:
1. Camera in low light situations. I think it's fixed here with Snapdragon camera?
2. Random rebooting, sometimes few times a day, sometimes few days without. Mostly occurred when playing any game with stock ROM. Is this custom OOS more stable?
3. I could not assign Menu action to HW buttons e.g. long pressing and this led to situation where I had to install Xposed framework and some module to get Menu in Titanium Backup to change backup location to SD card. Is this fixed here with Custom Hardware keys remap?
I know I should test this ROM myself, just pointing out biggest issues I had with stock OOS.
can u include the stock camera which has manual focus, exposure and iso??? or atleast let me know can i implement the stock oos camera in ur rom cheers

Same request here. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your work!
So proximity wake up ambient display works in this rom ?
And what type of themes are supported ? Layers or CM ?
Theme support
So OP, You have provided Layers or CM theme engine into rom?
Though Layers supported Stock OOS 2.2.0(Partially not all the themes were working) .

I said that deodexed is slower than odex rom. So that means this rom is slower than original OOS right ? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

so my question is this and hope i can get help on it:
i want to flash my le max 2 to either android 7 or 8, which third-party ROM (be it android 7 or 8) is the best and free of bugs?
which is pre-rooted? would love one that has been rooted before installing...if not yet rooted, hope it will be easy to root and help on rooting pls.
is the above link the best or any other suggestions and links...? :fingers-crossed:

Here's a link to resurrection remix. It's pretty good. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-resurrectionremix-m-v5-7-4-t3542355. Most N roms are stable. You have instructions how to install the rom and what gapps to use in the first post on the rom thread. It's also pre rooted.
For the future, when you want to install root just flash this: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Heyyo, for the most stable Nougat ROM? I'd recommend OmniROM. It's not as bleeding edge in changes such as BlackX or Resurrection Remix but it is built for stability upon OmniROM and Darkobas kernel. Depending as well on the build of Resurrection Remix it could have battery drain issues as you'll see on and off in the thread.
OmniROM also has the advantage of signed builds by Google so they come with official SafetyNet Certification. No need of Magisk and Magisk module workarounds so things like fingerprint unlock with your banking app should work without issue unlike any other ROM I've tried with RBC app... That also means if the Le Max 2 had built in NFC that android pay would have worked without a hitch...
I believe the only other custom ROM with signed builds by Google for official SafetyNet Certification is Paranoid Android but sadly there isn't official builds for the Le Max 2 (yet). Maybe once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 we will see that and built upon is custom kernel as well!
I tried porting it but I suck at it and failed haha oh well at least it turns out I'm good at vehicle repairs
If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend. Good device tree and vendor stacks and built with Blackscreen kernel for a good balance between performance and battery life.
Also, Resurrection Remix for Nougat has reached final versions so it won't be receiving updates. As far as I know for Nougat ROMs I think Slimroms and BlackX are the only ones receiving updates still as andr68rus and I believe the same with Shivatejapeddi have both changed focus to Oreo.

whoa, thanks alot for the detailed explanation.....
you really spoke highly of OmniROM (which i like) and you also said this: If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend
so which will you advise me to go for out of the three? plus which is pre-rooted or can be easily rooted?
i want to have a feel of a rooted device and see how it goes
would like to go for OmniROM (plus pls help me with links on how to get it) but let me have you final conclusion.
thanks alot for the helpful replies.

You're welcome
It's up to you which path you wish to go. As mentioned OmniROM is definitely the most stable ROM as it tends to not receive major changes as quickly as other ROMs.
The official signed builds are found here:
http://dl.omnirom.org/x2/
Any ROM is super easy to root. Only requires flashing Magisk via TWRP. I'd easily recommend it over any other form of root since it's fully open source software (FOSS) and the modules capabilities is amazing with stuff like Universal SafetyNet fix or other mods like enabling 60fps recording on the Google Camera Mod. I also really enjoy the ART Optimization mod for a little extra performance.
Magisk is found here on XDA and I'd recommend v14.3 right now because v14.0 stable has actually given me more grief heh
You can download and read up on Magisk right here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74158225&postcount=31
BlackX ROM is actually maintained by that other dude who posted here, KuranKaname and definitely has the most optimizations of the buch that I recommended. His builds are based on LineageOS with Blackscreen 3.6 kernel which is really nice. His ROM does require special Gapps which can be found in his thread with the ROM downloads as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Slimroms was the third I mentioned which is kind of is a balance between the stability of OmniROM but some of the optimization of BlackX.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Since there isn't any limit on ROMs to flash you can always try out a ROM for a few days and if it doesn't quite suit your needs you can try swapping to a different ROM to see how it feels. In the end only you will know which of the three I mentioned is to your liking the most.

This thread may be under construction, watch out!
An introduction to my new Oreo sauce...
This is a modified LineageOS 15.1 ROM meant to fill my personal needs, including my minimalistic Lambda Kernel out-of-the-box and a few customizations to provide a different, privacy-focused, Android experience, just for you.
What are the very best features included?
~> Always latest vanilla LineageOS 15.1 codebase;
~> Root virginity preserved, unrooted;
~> SafetyNet bypass out-of-the-box;
~> Google PlayStore device certification;
~> Privacy oriented Bromite web browser;
~> Compiled with SDClang LLVM 4.0 toolchain;
~> Dex-preoptimization of boot image and system server;
~> Minimalistic Lambda Kernel, more information right down below.
What does this magical Kernel support?
~> Cleanly built on top of the latest QCOM reference Kernel for MSM8996;
~> Up-to-date camera_v2 driver stack according to Nougat (LA.UM.5.5) code base;
~> Proper OEM Kernel code adjusted per target (ZL1/X2) and adapted to the new base;
~> Adjusted headset detection framework to account for Type-C adapter;
~> Optimized and adjusted for the -O2 GCC compilation flag;
~> Minimal configuration with the bare minimum drivers needed;
~> Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;
~> A little bit faster panel wake up and touchscreen initialization;
~> Unlocked bootloader state bypass, reports green.
What are the known issues so far?
?> Ambient display feature makes the panel wake up a bit funky, you'll see it when compared to the disabled state, which doesn't have that funkiness.
?> Time registering is broken, the daemon doesn't write properly to the Kernel for some reason and ends up not having the correct time after a reboot with the internet turned off.
?> CDLA sometimes has some pops in the background when not listening to anything, pretty minor though.
Nice, where are the downloads?
The downloads are available in the dev release tag in my Github's lineage_releases repository, there you'll find the zip file for installation and the md5sum for checking the file's integrity.

Did anyone mention FAQ?
A series of questions, answers, and wonders about all the things she I said in case you didn't get it already.
&> Q. Why isn't this a new project instead of just a simple variant of LineageOS? There are already a ton of them...
&> A. I think there's already a ton of Android "projects" and I don't feel like nor have time to create yet another one that I probably wouldn't be able to maintain for long.
&> Q. How much time will this "variant" be supported?
&> A. Only future wilt tell us but most likely our brave "variant" will resist at least one Android cycle starting from now, all the way through P, even after LineageOS officially drops it we can still have some OEL support if other developers keep the game going.
&> Q. How does it diverge from official LineageOS builds?
&> A. This one aims at providing a snapshot-like experience - if you remember CyanogenMod gold era - which uses the non-debugging user flavor instead of userdebug as Google keeps pushing their draconian restrictions to have access to their apps and services, we need to fake it to avoid forfeiting.
&> Q. My device is "certified" on Google PlayStore, how?
&> A. The bootloader green check in Kernel and user flavor made it possible. I'm not sure how much longer will it take to Google before they go with something deeper to restrict the access of their services by custom ROMs unconditionally. This is a trick though, your device will never be certified with an unlocked bootloader and non-OEM ROM.
&> Q. Will you ever include root support out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, never. You can flash Magisk if you want it, the latest the better in this case. Not sure about the addonsu from LineageOS itself as I never used it.
&> Q. Will you include Dolby Atmos, ViperFX, $(insert_nice_name_here) out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, not at all.
Heeyo! Are you using official LineageOS trees for building your variant?

Synced today, no fools included
Well cause i liked your kernel i will try out this rom also!
Nice timing tbh. Just bricked my current rom rn.
True. I've been using his kernel since 24 hours and damn it is the best kernel for x2. My phone's battery temperature doesn't cross 42°C even though my country's normal temperature outdoors is around 38-40°C these days. I get around 20%/hour drain on medium usage which is awesome for my 15 month old battery. Will definitely flash your rom and give feedback.
Hey. Congratz for your work. Can you give more detail about this please: "Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;" So we still would able to charge fastly as up to 4000 mH? The quick charge on/off option is available for your kernel? That feature doesn't work properly on the Oreo ROMs..
This is Awesome! The legend is back!
I am so pumped right now! :d:d
@GalaticStryder
Hello, gapps are included inside the rom?
Works everything?

First: Big THX @GalaticStryder for this awesome build.
Tested it for an hour now and everything seems perfect. Sound quality is excellent (through Headphones). Rom itself very smooth.
Will report battery Backup later.
Gapps are NOT included, Root is NOT included.
Heyyo, congrats on the release GalaticStryder! She sounds super promising!
A request
I am going to make a very dumb request, can you create an overclocked kernel for this build? Would it be possible?
Thanks so much
Has same bugs as official (eg slow motion video recording not working)?
Thank you for your work dude. I'm wondering if you would make a kernel with focus fix.

He would end up better adding leeco prefs in settings with quick charge switch, maybe akt and focus switch.
Rom works really well. I didnt saw any bugs in it rn.
Tell me, how about Vulcan drivers? Are they present in yours build? If not, do you plan add them?
Thx 4 ur work

why the **** you go on ranting on every roms about this, already GalaticStryder has explained u regarding this in his lambda kernel
I've been trying since last night, unfortunately I noticed freez and random reboots.

Pixel Experience ROM for the NOTE 9
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0

Semi-GSI? what's that?
a semi-gsi (at least by my own definition) is a gsi built from source, with heavy patches intended for a specific device that wouldn't make the gsi necessarily as universal as a gsi should be. so in terms: don't flash this on other devices.
How does this differ from any other gsis out there/what are the features?
Well this includes a number of fixes including:
Dual speakers are working.
Ui lag is no more (at least 99.99%).
Aod is working/enabled.
Auto brightness is kinda working.
MTP is working
Other performance fixes and improvments.
What's working/not working?
First up:
Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS Pixel Experience. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS PixelExperience.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2ndly the semi-gsi has a few quirks of it's own. Nothing major or worth noting but you should check the "anything else i should know?" part in the FAQ. hence why HWC is broken
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.
Download the latest build image and kernel linked below
Reboot to recovery
Wipe system, data and cache from the wipe menu
Select flash image in twrp, lower right side on the install menu
Flash the rom image as system (and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.
Flash the kernel image corresponding to your model as boot
Reboot and enjoy :victory:

I usually like to hang around here . It isn't mine but hey.
For note 9 more specifically i hang around here too
Changelog:
12.10.2018:
Initial release Boi
Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Q:Can i use any other kernels with this gsi?
A:Nah, not really. I built this kernel specifically to work with this gsi and it includes a few major fixes (for example mtp won't work,major ui lag, no dual speakers etc if you switch to another kernel. But again. If you want to use other kernels, they should* boot. Endurance kernel even has my dual speaker patch and i confirm as working. But again expect bugs.
Q: Is there anything else i should know?
A: Ehhhhhhh, not really. I mean there are some stuff i'm really not proud of,for example to "fix" the ui lag i had to set the minimum gpu frequency to 455; this shouldn't create any issues(perhaps some battery drainage when screen is on) but afaik it doesn't impact sleep or anything else.
Q:Would this be preferred over a device specific rom?
A: Overall nah. The reason i didn't set on building device specific los16.....well actually i did and failed. But this is a pretty good placeholder until someone more skilled than me takes over and creates pie device trees.
Q: Safetynet doesn't pass?
A: Yeah, i guess that's a thing. Go into magisk and download some module called props hide or something. Don't forget to run it from terminal. It should work from there
Q: The rom isn't booting/camera doesn't work
A: Flash/make sure you have the BRI4 vendor, the linked kernel and try again.
Q: The rom is in a bootloop/google apps keep crashing
A: You did read the instructions and NOT flash any gapps riighhttt?? smh, wipe /system,/data and /cache and start over
Q: I have another bug; How can i tell it to you while slightly increasing my changes of it ever getting fixed.
A: You can tell me what's going on either here or on telegram WITH A LOGCAT attached(required);if rom isn't booting at all attach /proc/last_kmsg.
Q: I don't know what/how to logcat. Is it really necessary?
A: Logcat or gtfo
Q: How can i support you?
A: Awwww thanks; On most of my posts on the left side there's a "donate to me" paypal button; You can use that,donations are more than welcome, or if you don't have any $ to spare you can also post here about how awesome i am (this surprisingly helps very much)

Is it possible to add S Pen support in the future? I mean, that's one big reason why people buy the Note 9 rather than the S9+

Spen does work as a pointer and to tap and even draw..
The spen button does nothing though. And obviously, the spen settings and apps are all Samsung made so they won't be working here. Highly doubt Spen would work ever on aosp like stock due to Samsung apps incompatibility

Spen went work without Sammy's framework but there are plenty of apps on play store that offered similar effects to Sammy's own. I used them on my note tablet when I ran any other rom then sammy roms.
Yes! I've been waiting for this. Thank you so much. Flashing right now. Will report back!

Flashed it but no dual speaker or data. Do I flash the kernel to the system partition too? Doesn't say in FAQ?

I don't know what you mean by data but i do know the kernel is supposed to be flashed as boot
Problem with fingerprint here.
Only first touch for new finger is registered.
After that it's not working anymore.
Data as in mobile / cellular data as discussed in telegram.
For anyone who has no cellular manually add your APN info in network settings.
Fingerprint does work and adds, go to settings and add fingerprints the registration bit is a bit finnicky but it adds them and they work.
A theoretical question/crazy idea:
Will installing Magisk's xmlpak module enable us to download and use the Samsung camera and spen features in this mod? So we could get the super slow mo, etc, back? Thanks
I followed the instructions by flashing the proper kernel image without gapps, but still bootloops in the Google Screen.

No, there's no way to get these features to work in Aosp based roms.
Fingerprint is not working, too all other works fine thank you soooo much!

Do we have the gestures like the pixel 3?

No, nur you can activate IT via ADB shell command
If I want to flash another rom after flashing this rom and kernel, can this kernel work well with other roms or should I flash another kernel instead?
My number 1 question is: does dual sim work?

Yes - Go into gestures in settings and enable the swipe up gesture. It's under Settings>System>Gestures
hi guys
i need best custom rom based on CAF
also the fp is so slow on every rom i tried till now ( RR,CRDROID,AOSP)
is there any thing to make it faster ?
Pixel Experience is working great on both AOSP and CAF bases. There might be some media playback issues on the CAF build, depending on your setup.
Fingerprint detection is good, but you can also try a different kernel.
is there any other rom like the pixel but with some tweaks

RevengeOS 2.2
"on topic" conversation would be pretty
PM is there for some reason ?
Best ROM for mido is official Oreo Lineage OS.
It's not CAF but its developers know what they are doing.
