The x829 which I ordered from TomTop is on its way... and I've only just read about the woes of LeEco in US and IN, where it seems to be a matter of time before both regional ventures go broke. So while I previously thought I'd stick with the phone's stock rom and OTAs, I'm now faced with a foreseeable future with no LeEco official updates. In that case, I figure I might as well start using an alternative rom right off the bat.
So, I need a recommendation for a ROM that hopefully can meet the following criteria:
1. ongoing support with OTA patches and updates from a stable group / recognised devt team
2. all functionality on the x829 should work: fingerprint, VoLTE, 4k video, OIS, EIS, audio, ... and are there any others that may not work in different roms?
3. I'm not so concerned about marshmallow vs nougat. Nougat would be good, but life goes on as long as I get updates on marshmallow.
Based on criteria 1, I suppose that my choices are limited to the following.
a. LineageOS 13.0 - is all functionality working?
b. Resurrection Remix - M - at least VoLTE not working. any others?
Do I have any other options?
c. LineageOS 13.0 by andr68us - only supported by andr68us, would not get ongoing patches right? and if this has extra stuff compared to official lineageOS, does the official fully support the camera, IR remote, etc?
d. LineageOS 14.1 - only supported by cr3pt, would not get ongoing patches right?
d. MIUI??
f. mokkee?
g. stick with stock china rom or india rom?
h. Small EUI by aurel - No ongoing patches right?
Would appreciate your corrections and thoughts.

Use the latest official Indian ROM.
Currently all custom ROMs for Max2 are buggy or incomplete in one way or another.

True, but being able to get ongoing patches is a pretty big plug for me. That's why I seem to only really have LineageOS 13.0 official and Resurrection Remix-M official choices meeting this criteria right? Actually, I've never used either. Is the update mechanism OTA, or manual download-and-patch?
I guess I should add that OTA is nice but not strictly necessary as long as the necessary patches are consistently applied, and builds are being made. I can download and apply the patches manually (but OTA would be nice).

Thanks. Maybe that's what I'll do after all.
on the other hand... which is the least buggy custom rom? If the bugs are something I can live with, and it gives me an easier future migration path (or removes the need to migrate firmware altogether) I might take it.
Actually, all of this was on the premise that LeEco US & IN would go bust and no further pacthes will be available. Does this assumption look correct, or maybe I don't need to worry about this?
LeEco is pretty popular in India. I guess its their most valuable territory at the moment, because their attempt to infiltrate the US market has clearly failed and in China they barely make the list of top ten Android vendors.
You shouldn't have bought this phone in the first place if you expected any decent support for it. Too bad, I made the same mistake.
I'm on mokee, with the Chinese 23s modem and gapps flashed on top of it. Everything works, it has OTA.

The unofficial lineage os 13 by andr68rus is the best and most stable mm rom. Official one does not support ir. This one does. It has all the features and stability of the official one plus the ir functionality and the option for flashing viper4divine beats which actually broke the volte feature in official one. Using Selinux Mode changer app sucks. After some days apps dependent on it stop working after a few days. And regarding ota updates. Y do u need it when everything is perfectly working without bugs??. Heating is the same as dat on all other mm roms.

I agree, Indian ROM is the best stock.
Just read that LOS 15.1 is now available as a build for treble, along with RROS.
Has anyone tested these on the H9 yet, I'm not too keen on risking bricking by phone (again) since I really don't have time to sort it out, let alone see if custom ROMs will work.
How many builds of pir are there? can't any of them be installed permanently or are they all still alpha that will need reinstalled after official launch? i want to upgrade from the original OPX android to to pie for daily use. i also want magisks if that's not all supper outdated now too.
LOS 16 is really stable IMO and the dev announced it xill be the one supported in top priority.
There is no evidence that there will be "official" custom Rom on pie for OPX.
so the custom pie roms will not get updates from google?

?? I don't understand your question.
Google doesn't do anything about custom roms.
There is just one dev that worked on some custom roms on Pie (Pixel experience, AOSP and LOS). He just tond that he will put the priority on the LOS one. Note that it's marked as LOS 16 unofficial as he builds it itself, not in the LOS offcial roaster.
Onyx won't even be in the 15.1 roaster as it has just been ejected from official 14.1 roaster.

when Debian gets updates so does ubuntu and kubuntu and lubuntu and xubuntu. custom rom or not it IS still google android pie, so when vulnerability is found a update is pushed out for pie and all pie devices get said fix. unless phones don't work this way which would suck and mean it's un secure the custom rom dev gets boared or no longer has time.

You are confused, android builds are device specific, every patch needs to be integrated and compiled by the developer or mantainer of the rom you're using and can't be used in any other phone. Google releasses a new version of android and it's up to developers to create drivers and kernel "stuff" that allows the software to funcion in the device.

AH-HA!!!! This makes sense!
Just want to collate some information from a number of different threads and discuss some of the options moving forwards for H932 users. I've been a long time user of Lineage, but couldn't resist the urge to try stock (TWRP) Pie. Thankfully I quite like it (the battery life is amazing) because now (and correct me if I'm wrong):
The H932 that's been "upgraded" to Stock Pie cannot install a custom rom as it will break a number of sensors including the camera
In order to go back to a custom rom of Pie or lower (Lineage / AOSP) based I must:
Downgrade to stock Nougat by flashing the stock (TWRP based) img,.
Run every update since then
Install the custom ROM of choice, but run it in permissive
Wait for a generous dev to create a H932 cusom rom that makes use of Pie blobs
None of the current Lineage 17 based roms work on H932 despite running Pie Blobs
H932 Converter does not work on any Lineage 17 based roms
It's not a biggie for me, but I'm still kicking myself. At least I've still got Root and TWRP.
Bit disappointed that none of these GSI based chinese Roms will work on H932 but as I'm stuck on stock Pie anyway, that's a mute point.

You merely need to downgrade to T-mobile H932 TWRP-flashable Oreo zip. Why do you think you need to downgrade to Nougat?
But since you have been on Pie, when running the custom ROMs you will need a permissive kernel and some sensors still may not work.

Dunno - think I read somewhere that people had luck getting the sensors back with that one, but if we can't get them all back then it's a mute point.

Yes - but not in the Stock Collection thread - at least not until later in the thread (by which time it was too late). Unless of course the TWRP flashable stock rom is not affected by this issue. Maybe I've got my wires crossed.
I'm not complaining - such is the life of a flashaholic. Nevertheless, I'm wondering whether there is anything on the horizon and what others plan to do.......

OK, maybe to get all sensors back. Yeah, some EU H930 had to do that, Refurbish back to Nougat.
Not sure how it works with T-mobile H932 and TWRP flashable zip.
While I updated to Pie on my spare US998 V30+ just to know the process to write it up, on my daily bootloader unlocked and rooted V30+, I'm still on Oreo. Nothing compelling about Pie right now, and I don't want to waste hours trying to install all the mods and getting everything set up again. I need my phone for my job.
What is the most stable custom rom for us998 ?
You mean LOS or based on stock firmware?

Custom, I have stock, wanted something more customizable. Think I am going with LOS 17.1

I understand you want "custom."
There's a VERY customized ROM based on stock firmware, called A.I.S. Which is why I wanted clarification if you wanted LOS-based custom ROM or stock-based custom ROM. Since you say you want LOS-based, Havoc is probably the most popular LOS 17.1 based ROM with many more options than parent 17.1 itself. This is the most recent update below. Be aware that for all LOS 17.x -based ROMs you need stock Pie firmware installed first as a base for Pie blobs/drivers. You can't be on stock Oreo and jump to LOS 17.x ROMs.

Does your Wi-Fi work at full speed on custom roms? I'm having issues with my Wi-Fi speed and I was wondering if a custom rom would fix it.

I'm using HavocOS and its WiFi connection seems as fast as the rest of my devices. I just did a couple of tests with speedtest.net and actually got a slightly higher result with my V30+ (240Mbps) than with my laptop (which is also 802.11ac). Obviously, the internet connection is a limiting factor there and results would be different copying within the network, but I imagine that "full speed" to you means as fast of an internet connection as other devices, so the answer is yes, at least in my case.

That's the "Update" thread where other V30 LOS-based ROMs are released -- but A.I.X. is separate from that. However, still may be of interest to you.
NOTE: The instructions are very detailed for installing A.I.X. and when people don't follow directions and blame the Dev it won't end well for them. They will get booted from the A.I.X. thread. A.I.X. is not like installing a "regular" ROM, so don't go in with that expectation.
Having said all that, XDA is still where you will get the most detailed written assistance for LOS ROMs. I am just pointing you to Telegram where you can find more quantity of ROMs.
