Hi, I'm wondering which rom you suggest I flash to my nexus 4 device. Paranoid android, or Cyanogenmod?
What I care most about is, battery life and performance. I don't really care about customization.
Which one is better in your opinion? :]
Thank you so much!

CM12 has a priceless feature of privacy, they perform more or less the same.. Take a look at custom kernels for your device - as those will give you best battery, performance or both - depending on what you need.
I'm personally using CM. Not sure about which one performs better, but I like cm because it gives me the features I want, without cluttering the ROM with features I'll never use. PA and other ROMs are based of cm, so they normally have more stuff than cm, and it just ends up getting annoying. With cm, most of the options are set good to go, so u just need to change a few, like stock, but with a few very unobtrusive additions that are integrated into the system really good. Take for example, root. It's part of privacy guard instead of superuser, which is integrated very well into the os. I haven't really used PA, so I suggest you try both and come to your own conclusion.
If you just want performance, then I'd go with a close to aosp rom.
Hello all good people
Just got my hands on Redmi note 4, cool device, but im not that into MIUI... but the device is working nicely, my concern is how stable and smooth are custom roms?
i see there are couple of popular ones, can you please tell me is there any real benefit using custom rom vs stock miui in battery life, performance.. and witch one is the most stable.
Thank you!

There are a lots of benefits of using custom ROM over stock one. Currently I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 on my rn4. It's fully stable. You can try it yourself.

For best stability bro, go forward non other than MIUI
Clearly, MIUI are made only for Mi phones, designed to be well..perfectly stable. Now others might against this lol.
Custom roms are stable too, yet miui are far more than that.
Honestly, I see no benefits using stock MIUI against stock rom (or vice versa).
They're just practically the same, only differ in some minimal undistinguishable matters.
Moreover, it the end, just a personal cup of tea.

bro i have tried ressurection remix, lineage os. Only benefit i see in using custom rom is slightly better performance than miui(and that also you will realise after playing very heavy games otherwise it is ignorable), in terms of features manual customisation is more in custom rom(most in ressurection remix)but I still very much prefer customisation through themes in miui(because i am an anime fan and are tons of attractive anime themes in chinese miui theme store). in terms of stability and battery life i didn't nltice much change(maybe slightly better bettery life in custom rom). But overall i greatly prefer miui because it has much more user friendly feachures than custom rom(which you will soon realise after using custom rom) and because of its attractive themes(mostly anime based).

It's really nice do read someone opinion based on experience with custom ROMs. I bet that battery performance on custom ROM with custom kernel should be better but in that case...
I'm currenty running beta MIUI 9 and I really enjoy system because I migrated from iOS and if there is no point to move to custom ROM I am fine with it.

I am using custom roms from a long time ,so i very much used to the looks of customs roms . Then I got mido and miui was the rom installed in that ,i didn't liked it as i felt it lacks the amount of customization and features i needed . I didnt even like the interface of miui and didn't even find it user - friendly ( its user friendly for many users ) . So definitely it was not perfect to me . And updates were very late ( all oems have this issue regarding pushing new updates ) so i moved to custom roms .
If you say what are the benefit for custom rom
1) regular updates
2) tons of customization
3) better memory management ( it can be achieved on miui using custom kernel too )
:silly: that's it from my side then . Thank you

By better management i mean the multi tasking part . Apps remains in memory . But miui is very aggressive when it comes to memory .
And why do you care for ram ? Free ram is a waste ram . You should care if you phone struggles with common apps . And you know right android is smart enough to handle this memory thing thank you
Custom roms can give you more space and possibilities

MIUI works really well, there's no denying that. I installed xiaomi eu rom a little while back and it worked really well, smooth fast and battery back seemed good. Despite all that, MIUI feels very claustrophobic when you try to navigate through the phone. Notifications are a mess. Everything seems to be crammed into that notification shade.
Needless to say, my sojourn did not last long.
Custom roms give you the freedom to choose from a variety of customisations to stock to barebones. They are light, fast and easy to work with. Only drawback is that sometimes things break in custom roms. You need to have the willingness to work around it when that happens. And there will be bugs, known and unknown both.
Battery life should not be a concern unless there is an unprecedentedly high drainage. People get unusually high SOT by limiting usage to WiFi only and staying on 2G. But in real world, with 2 Sims, 1 LTE and other 3G, 6-7 hrs SOT seems like a good bet.
Performance is at par for all. Stability may be here and there for some roms. The more customisations there are, more are the chances for things to break. You can use less customisation roms, my recommendation would be slim, mainstage os & aosp-caf. For customisations, you can pick any of the rest.
Personally I use from among the three, mainstage being the most favorite. My experience has been that idle drain is really low in slim and mainstage. Rest you will have to use them to pick your go-to roms.
And yes, camera is not the best feature of custom roms. :laugh:
Thank you all, great discussion yes miui 8 is pretty cool in its own way, but i think i will explore more stock like android experience and then miui 9

I think I should just add this point (whether it is a small or big point depends on your own perspective on your own privacy). The point is that one should be very careful about ROMs with embedded "dial home" features. Call me paranoid if you want, but, for me, this means that, for as long as there are good custom AOSP/LOS/CAF ROMs, MIUI is a non-starter.
For further information, read the "Skinny" threads on the Redmi Note 2 forums.
These devices are very competitively priced, and so are great buys - but the very first action should be to change the ROM from MIUI.
Miss those days when I was on the HTC Desire and @LeeDroid customized sense so much that it was perfect and very nice for those days.
I miss a good miui rom with stock notification icons and a working Google smartlock.
There are so much roms for mido but most of the roms is all of the same in performance and design.
We got now substratum but that is just layers not a redesign of some system apps. Like I mentioned before.
Why are there no more custom miui roms?
Is it not possible for developers to enable Google smart lock? Or change the statusbar stock notifications icons time right side?
What is the hold up here?
Yea we got xiaomi EU and few mods but nothing that spectacular.
BTW this is no offense to all those devs workings on mido I just asked myself and this is my first xiaomi phone and on HTC, Samsung roms they are modding the **** out of the stock roms.
TBH at the end of the day you will go and use stock ROM so am now out of flashing custom ROM it's now boring stuff! I rather prefer modified stock ROM like miglobe.com xiaomi.eu multirom.me and what ever and I would love to try paranoid ROM once it becomes official cause official has more features. And most important it has a OFFICIAL TAG which do matter. And taking about custom ROM all are same with a slight or little change in name and features every second nerd or geek wants to be a developer. Overall I can say that it depends upon your requirements to go or not to go. Personally if you hate miui I Mean the UI (I hate it too) than you should go with custom Rom and if you want something new and more scope of customisation. Else if you don't give a **** all you want is a phone for face book Twitter and Instagram and WhatsApp and pornhub.com then stock is for u
I have been using various custom roms on my phones for atleast 5 years. One the common hate items for custom ROM is the inferior battery backup when compared to stock ROM. My recent experience is on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser.

This is precisely why I have looked in this thread... fyi... I never intended to use miui cloud service, it was only when I got a message stating 6gb of my personal photos had been upoloaded and that I needed more space!!! like wtf
so, yes I want all miui gone.. but I really like the second space, dont want to lose that, and like has been said, ignoring the miui bit it is a nice bit of software

Hello everyone!
I've been on smallEUI for a while, and I've decided that it's not worth it to keep anymore. SOT is inconsistent, there are small bugs here and there, and some major that begin to appear after a while.
I've been looking at Mokee and Ressurection Remix (sadly, author has stopped development of a buggy nougat version and moved to oreo)
I'm not looking for spectacular SOT that will blow me away. 4-5 hours is enough for me.
Stability is a huge must for me, i use my phone everyday and I need to be able to depend on it. EUI ROMs have aggressive RAM management (I have the 6gb RAM version and EUI treats it as if I only have 2gb, removing apps from RAM like my launcher). I need basic features like VoLTE and Bluetooth to work without fail.
I don't really care about safetynet, so I'm fine without that.
EDIT: I'm a fool, I said OmniROM instead of Slim. Sorry about that.
Thanks!
EDIT
Alright, I've actually installed Slim. Its superior to SmallEUI in almost every way.
Camera is almost as good as stock, no noticable difference.
Battery life is much more consistant (Expect 4 h 30m of SOT with mixed usage.)
No more crappy EUI RAM management (Its really bad, it treats 6GB of RAM like its 512MB of ram, killling any background processes, including your launcher, forcing frequent redraws)
Slim handles thermals MUCH BETTER than EUI. Way better!
Noticably faster UI, and smoother sustained performance under heavy load.
Nougat!
VoLTE works on T-Mobile US.
Fingerprint sensor works perfectly, and works faster in Slim than EUI, and more accuratly too!
Bug free so far.
And OTA updates!
This is hands down the most stable experience I've seen so far.
Better than Lineage, better than Mokee, and SmallEUI.
Go for this ROM, you won't regret it.

Hi I'm currently using MOKEE and it's actually pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs at all but I'm not sure if VoLTE works and if you download it there will be almost everyday update but you don't have to download them because they don't change anything for our device

If I were to switch to Mokee, should I download the stable version?
The nightlies seem to be auto compiled and they look really unstable.

I just haven't come across it but I don't have any problem SOT but I'm not a lot on my phone so I can't say a lot.
I’m in a similar position as you are. Using LOS 14. It’s been really stable. Best ROM i’ve used so far for the Le max 2. Small eui was a buggy mess when I used it. RR was good at first, but more bugs made me switch. Happily using LOS as a daily driver now.

How is Lineage os in general?
Does gps work fine?
Fingerprint scanner can be fixed easily with a firmware update, so I don't mind that.
How is SOT?
Does camera quality match EUI?
Thanks!
Los if probably my favourite flavour android. RR has more options, though seems slower and more prone to issues (in my experience).
Camera is great. I've installed the Google hdr released camera app though, it's excellent.
Not too sure about sot sorry. Phone is usually around 20% when I finish the day. That's from 6am till say 10pm. I'd say average use for anyone that's on XDA.
This phone has never had good battery for me, except for small eui. But that was at the expense of an unusable rom with no SMS or push notifications working.
Finger print works perfectly.
Heyyo, for most stable? I'd say OmniROM 7 or LineageOS 14.1. They tend to not get the newest changes right away which is good for stability.
OmniROM is unique in the sense that it actually gets certified official builds signed by Google so they do come with SafetyNet Certification. It's the only custom ROM for the LeEco Le Max 2 that gets that.
Hopefully once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 he can get his Mach LeEco kernel working for it and get official signed builds of Paranoid Android as that is the only other ROM that I know of that gets Google signed builds. Tbh I'm really stoked for this as I failed to port his Mach LeEco kernel haha.
Oh, if you plan on using MultiROM? OmniROM play store certification only works if you install it as the internal ROM and not secondary ROM as it mounts the system as writeable. You'd then need to do Magisk plus Universal SafetyNet fix module to spoof the Play Store.
The only downside to OmniROM is Andr68rus has moved onto Oreo development so it probably won't get Le Max 2 specific upgrades but thus far from my testing all Le Max 2 bugs have been squashed much like LineageOS 14.1.
If you want better screen on time with OmniROM or LOS? You can always root with Magisk and then install the AKT Profiles App and use something like Project X.A.N.A. balanced or battery.
If screen on time is your goal though? Slimroms I'd say currently has the best balance of screen on time and performance.
Anywho? Lots to choose from and there isn't really a wrong answer except for say the AOKP or other discontinued ROMs.

Thanks for the detailed reply!
Sorry for the late reply.
So, I'm deciding between Lineage and Omnirom right now. Are there are basic features that differ between the two ROMs? Like included customization options or small tweaks that give the ROM it's unique personality?
It's amazing to see that a relatively not that known device has such a large and dedicated community to support it even when the company is going down under.

LineageOS has weekly build updates so it does still receive the Google Monthly Security updates which is nice. It also has a lot more customization options than OmniROM
OmniROM as I mentioned is the only custom ROM for the Le Max 2 with official SafetyNet certification as a main feature. I've also noticed because of it that it's the only ROM I know of where fingerprint unlocking works with stuff like my RBC banking app.
OmniROM tends to not get as many flashy features as LineageOS but it has a few unique ones built into it such as OmniSwitch which is an alternative to the recent apps screen where it slides a small panel from the side of the screen and has the same functionality as recent apps but without the need of exiting your current app.
There's also their open source clock app as another example.
For Le Max 2 specifics? OmniROM has Dolby Atmos built into it for better sound quality and also the LeEco infrared app for using the IR blaster built into this phone so both work out of the box without the need of flashing Magisk Modules or anything like that.

Thank you!
I will be installing Lineage OS and try it out!
Actually pulled a switcharoo at the last moment. I decided to go with Slim instead of Lineage because Lineage doesn't have VoLTE, and users report various problems with Lineage.
If anyone here is deciding on what to install, go for Slim.
Safetynet+Magisk passes safteynet, and everything is very fast.
UI and interface is really smooth, phone tempratures are much better than stock EUI, and SmallEUI
If gaming performance is your thing, expect a 20-30% increase in FPS than EUI based ROMS.
Battery life is a bit worse than EUI, but its consistent. In SmallEUI SOT would vary from almost 6 hours to as little as 1 hour and 30 minutes. Slim has a consistant 4 hour 30 min with mixed usage (Reddit, Gaming, and YouTube).
And best of all, no more annoying EUI RAM management! I have 6GB of RAM in my phone! Stop treating it like its 512MB and killing all background apps! It even killed Nova Launcher occasionally!
Slim is amazing. Simply amazing. I'm glad I made the switch now, and not later. I love it.
EDIT: I'm a fool, I said Omni instead of Slim. Sorry about that everyone.
Yep, tried them all and Omni's the best. Was worried that I'd miss functionality from EUI but everything actually works better. There's no reason at all to stick with stock roms. Do you know does Vulkan work with Omni?
Given so many options to choose from, Oreo based Custom ROMs is growing up so fast. Is there anyone still prefer Nougat? How many of you has changed your mind and moved to Oreo? And why?
I am now still on Nougat based Custom ROMs.
Still don't know if I need to move to Oreo, because I already feel comfy with Nougat. And how's with the performance (especially gaming) in Oreo based ROMs?
Feel free to share your thoughts, I want to know more.
Thank you.
Nougat as of now , Oreo is not MATURE in the android world now. Wait few months

Thanks for your answer, I do feel the same way. But lately it seems that few Oreo ROMs got a good touch up, but I don't know if its compared to Nougat.
nougat feels laggy compared to better optimised Oreo, ive used both extensively
I've used (for me) the smoothest nougat rom which is paranoid android and it smooth af. But after taking the jump to oreo specifically to cardinal rom I've noticed it is a lot smoother, lag free and overall a better experience for me.
was on Nougat ROMs till couple days back, currently on Pixel Experience, and I must say Oreo is the future, so fast so smooth and it loads faster than ever

Ah! I am currently on Nougat with the same ROM, and still using Paranoid Android Nougat here. I agree that its already smooth af even with its default kernel.

I've heard that pixel experience is equally smooth as cardinal and those two were my choices when I made the jump. But I choose cardinal because it has more useful customization than pixel without bloating it with useless customization.(???) Sorry for my bad english. Lol

Oreo roms still lack that super stability which nougat offers, but being able to brag in front of my friends that i am running the latest and greatest android from google, really pushes me to remain at oreo. Jokes aside i really like the little features which oreo has, especially in-built autofill. I really find that super useful.

If you want minimal customisations, go with aoscp or pixel experience. (But if you want super pure stock android, then elixir os is for you). If you ask me then button remapping is all what i need. Even though aoscp and pixel dont have that, still i had used aoscp for 2 months because it is super smooth. The only addons i install are product sans font and ambient display gesture. Right now i am trying out liquid remix but i would take side with aoscp on terms of feel.

What do you mean bloating it with useless customization? Because I'd like to choose one that using very minimal customizations, I believe that a simple and minimal customizations make a good performance (at least for my gaming experience). CMIIW.
Lol, tbh personally I don't care what others think when you got the newest android version. All I care is my phone, with light customizations and super performance but thanks for your answer man, at least I got a view with Oreo users like you.

Well some roms like resurrection remix is feature packed with customization which is good but I feel that it took a hit in performance and battery becaise when I moved to Paranoid android which is very minimal I've got a smoother experience. Well cardinal and pixel is very minimal and I think it will suit you well.

If you want minimal customisations, go with aoscp or pixel experience. (But if you want super pure stock android, then elixir os is for you). If you ask me then button remapping is all what i need.

Wow, such a good insights, this will help other members who still enjoying Nougat can give it a try on Oreo ROMs. Thank you!

You too, thanks for sharing. Yeah I don't want any customizations that took a hit in performance. All I want is very simple minimal and smoother experience, to get the most out of this device thank you!
Oreo roms are too laggy. They work fine for few hours after flash and then they become completely unusable.
I can use nougat Roms in dualboot patcher and also multirom but unable to boot Oreo ROMs. So I prefer nougat Roms until DBP upgraded to oreo or newer multirom developed.
Yes! Asking same question again but which is the smoothest oreo ROM right now? Using AOSIP but launchers are no smooth at all in it. Also games cause lags too.
AEX

Let me try! I hope you are honest with your answer..
Aosip, very good rom
Lineage OS 15.1
MSM Extended
miui 9
Dear
please use MIUI9 , this is the best ROM for LeEco Max 2,
awesome battery backup and lots of customise theme you can get in.
only one prob -it is marmallow
but it doesnt care.
rocking this rom,
use it
Those who need smoothness AOSP Extended is the best choice but it has some bugs-
Lags in games
Colour changing issue
Everything else perfect but lags in games is a deal breaker.
AOSIP will be a great choice if someone needs oreo and want the maximum stability with most of your x2, the only bad thing is it lags from last few builds, games are smooth tho.
I'm thinking to going to stock ROM, for better sound, battery, and stable smooth UI, not that laggy. But games lags on stock ROM , even Geometry dash lite lags horribly in stock ROM. Only performance issue is stopping me to use stock ROM, any solution for it?
@ThE_MarD do you have some ideas for my last question?

For gaming? I did link shiva my bardockpro GPU blobs Kang I'm unsure if he saw it or not but they do improve GPU performance.
Otherwise for lags over time? That could be thermal config needs revision... Maybe same with perf stuff
Another vote for AOSPEx. It really is a great rom.
The AospEXtended maintainer blew it when he introduced the EAS kernel - it causes lags and poor battery life. The builds after the 0417 one all became worse. So, if you still want to try it anyway, I'd recommend that one and nothing newer until he comes to his senses and reintroduces a HMP kernel or drastically reworks the EAS one...

I actually really liked the ROM. But, in its current state? No...
