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.
I have an 8T, running LOS with MicroG and it works fine for years now.
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
In the context that I don’t notice any problems like that.
Ah, I thought you were leading to something, that didn’t really add much to the conversation though

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
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
Ah, I thought you we’re on Lineage OS. You could still try to tweak some settings or try some root options
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
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
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
Didn’t knew that. I would give cpu-z a try to see I’d everything is working well
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
I no longer have a OnePlus, but I believe Project Elixir is pretty decent, might be worth checking out?
It comes with GAPS preinstaled
