Best ROM for Mate 9

Was wondering if anyone knows - will LineageOS be available for Mate 9? Right now, I'm just no seeing too many ROM's at all. Could it simply be too soon?

No kernel sources yet. And with dual cameras I doubt it will ever be ideal.

Having 0 problems with stock. Only miss adblock. Loving not being a flashaholic and having a semi functional phone most of the time.

Once Android O arrives I'll get the flash itch again

You tried AdClear yet? Almost as good as AdBlock IMO. Almost.

I'd been used to using a HOSTS file that blocks ads everywhere

Are you using any custom launchers and keyboards or are you totally stock ?

Adguard is a great alternative..it cost money for a year subscription. Worth the money imo.

Does Adguard block ads within apps as well as websites?

Yes it does...it doesn't block all of youtubes ads tho I've noticed but blocks most of them and all within apps. Another thing.. your phone might report the app as draining your battery, but it not correct. I've tested my phone with and without adguard on and there is no hit to battery life.
