    Running pmOS on a oneplus 6 right now- feels painfully close to being daily-drivable, and the performance / battery life makes it much more usable than an OG pinephone.

    Calls and SMS aren’t fully there yet, and the camera doesn’t work. Mobile data is fine, while Waydroid fills in most missing apps, aside from music and video streaming (since audio still stutters on Android apps). So for now I’m also stuck carrying an old Android around for day-to-day basics, and offloading as much as I can onto the OP6.

      I’m thinking about getting a Oneplus 6, so I’ve been curious how it’s working for people. I’d get another pinephone, but for now I’d rather wait and see if they release another phone. The Pro is already over a year and half old and I’d like to see if they release something new. Also, I don’t have a lot of money to spend, so maybe a used Oneplus is best for now.

      I finally got waydroid to run on my pinephone about a month ago and after playing with it for an hour or so I realized I don’t really need it for anything and it’s a waste of resources/space. So I uninstalled it. Are you using phosh, sxmo or what? I’ve been playing with gnome shell on pinephone and pinetab recently, but I really like sxmo.

        For what its worth, i love my OnePlus 6T phone. Alongside with the Pixel3a XL, both of these phones seem to be the “best” at custom roms. Learning about their A/B partiioning can be dauhting, but at least for me, thats what i get out of it.

        Just a heads up, for OnePlus 6 phones. They have a notch at the top of the phone for the camera and a lot, not all, custom roms have either taken care of this or there are custom “hacks” to resolve this.
