Instability on OnePlus 8 pro with lineageOS? (lemmy.world)

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.

For the camera give open camera a try. Also try disabling animayion in developer options, you install cpu-z and see if the procesor clocks well. Apart from this I dunno, did you installed it correctly? I dont think Lineage 20 runs on android 14

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm on 13, OnePlus in their infinite wisdom decided the 8 pro is 3 years old and therefore too old to receive any more android updates

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I thought you we're on Lineage OS. You could still try to tweak some settings or try some root options

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No I still am, I'm just on lineageOS on Android 13, afaik lineage hasn't done a 14 release, or at least has not made one for the OnePlus 8 pro

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah there's a mistake on my side. Yes Lineage OS hasn't released android 14. But I dont know if One Plus did. If you flashed vendor android 14 it might be incompatible with Lineage OS 20 which is based on 13

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah no you're fine. OnePlus 8 pros are never officially going to get 14, so maybe if lineage does something I'll switch back. But I may try another firmware and that camera app you mentioned. I can't help but feel like the whole system is unstable since they shipped it back to me after an RMA

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Didn't knew that. I would give cpu-z a try to see I'd everything is working well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Good idea, I'll give it a go and see if it's running slower than baseline. Ugh gonna be a full day of wiping my phone I can already tell

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why wiping?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I mean unless you know of another way I haven't heard of, typically whenever I change to a new rom it's basically the same as resetting the phone, you have to wipe all data during the install

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I no longer have a OnePlus, but I believe Project Elixir is pretty decent, might be worth checking out?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It comes with GAPS preinstaled

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I have an 8T, running LOS with MicroG and it works fine for years now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In which context, no lag while opening or switching between lenses? Switching to large apps? The 8T does have much smaller lenses than the 8 pro so it could be a storage read/write speed thing on my end if I'm hitting some sort of limit within the OS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In the context that I don't notice any problems like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Ah, I thought you were leading to something, that didn't really add much to the conversation though
