Hey guys, recently my father got tired of ****ty MIUI and wanted something better for his Mi 5. Since it's not my phone, I cannot test various ROMs and kernels by clean flashing them.
I just need one ROM that I can switch to on his phone from MIUI.
It needs to be 100% stable (he is sick of bugs), needs to have great calling and bluetooth connection, and great battery life.
Please let me know if such ROM exists for Mi 5, and which one is it
(Do you guys face any issues with bluetooth speakers or taking calls via bluetooth in car?)
You can start with jdcteam's aosp. Has been really solid for me.

I've been using LineageOS with 0 problems so far. But it does take some time to set it up that way. For instance, you need to flash the MIUI camera to improve camera performance, and under display calibration adjust the RGB values to 90% to prevent image retention (a problem on MIUI too).
I can confirm that Bluetooth works fine, calling is clear and battery life is good but not better/worse than MIUI. I haven't tried taking calls over a car's Bluetooth.
You should also check out the Xiaomi.eu weekly MIUI 9 builds as they usually fix what Xiaomi broke in their MIUI builds and are actually supported by Xiaomi.

Thank you for the recommendations guys. Are you using the stock kernel or any custom kernel like BB kernel, Nagatobimaru etc?
What is your opinion about AOSPA and RR ?
AOSP Extended all the way. Using it from past 3 months.

Nagatobimaru kernel has terrible battery life for me (like 1h30m SOT even though I was initially excited to try it out because it incorporates EAS). I use LOS stock freq kernel, which removes the underclock of the 32GB Mi5 from 1.8GHz to 2.15GHz but is otherwise just the stock LOS kernel. On this kernel I get between 3-4h30m SOT.
AFAIK LOS is the only ROM with display calibration and all the others have no way to fix the severe image retention which is my main reason for sticking with it. If it doesn't bother you or affect your unit then I can highly recommend AEX which seems to be the ROM 90% of the devs are on.

What do you mean by the image retention issue? And what have you calibrated? As far as I understand, you have just tweaked the RGB values of the screen. Can you tell me your values? I think the same thing can be done via Kernel Adiutor if you are on a kernel that supports KCAL. AFAIK, stock LOS kernel doesn't have it but most ROMs and all custom kernels have it.
What about AOSP by JDC team, it appears very stable with EAS?

Yes, it's the same problem - I am unaware whether this is a software or hardware problem, but you can correct it 100% with software. It looks like lightbleed right around the border of the phone and you can see ghosting of previus apps around the corners (especially on a grey background). It's easy to fix in LineageOS, but I've had trouble in every other ROM I tried so far.

It looks light an orange tinted lightbleed right around the borders of the display and some ghosting of previous apps are overlayed on the current app (especially visible on grey backgrounds). Check the attached image to see what mean, and this is only about 50% of how bad it can get if you don't adjust for it.
Yes I just tweaked the RGB values to 90% (anything more and you can still notice the effect).
I tried using Kernel Adiutor to fix this problem to no avail, using different ROM and kernel combinations. I never checked if the kernel supports KCAL specifically though.
It's been too long since I used JDC's ROM, but if I remember correctly it was stable and fast but lacked essential features at the time (music playback controls, lockscreen torch, display calibration settings). Their Oreo ROM is far ahead of Lineage 15 in in terms of stability though, not that it's DD ready.

Woah thanks for sharing this man, I didn't know about this, can you please share the screenshot of the settings you have made?
I have the same issue and I can't decide which ROM to flash. MIUI 8 is too laggy, MIUI 9 is faster but all apps crash randomly. I will unlock my phone tomorrow (after the stupid 72 hours waiting period) and I am hoping that this discussion will help us decide. Most probably it will be a choice between Xiaomi.eu or LOS.

As someone who recently used both Xiaomi.eu and LOS14.1 I might be able to clear that up.
Xiaomi.eu MIUI9 build is almost identical to MIUI 8. There are a few minor tweaks to the UI such as the task switcher which is now more immersive and the new icon pack. Settings are now more bundled together and ROM/System info is graphically displayed. Split screen multitasking seems to be the only new feature. I haven't experienced a single app crash, but the system animation speed was set way to fast by default and transition animations show tearing each time you switch apps. In short, it's fast but not smooth.
I switched back to LOS quite quickly. The only feature MIUI has that LOS doesn't is Dual Apps, and since I don't use that the choice was very simple. LOS is much smoother and faster, with minimal features on top of AOSP. I enjoy the additions, it doesn't feel bloated or barebones.
If you are going to use LOS, I recommend doing the following:
-If you have a 32GB Mi5, flash the LOS stock freq kernel
-Set the display calibration as per my previous posts
-Activate touch home button, always on fingerprint unlock
-Install Magisk
-Flash MIUI camera Magisk module + OISprop-Magisk
-Flash iYTBP Magisk module
-Flash unified hosts Adblock Magisk module (make sure to select systemless hosts in Magisk settings)
-Install Google camera HDR+
-Use Nova (paid) or Lawnchair (free) as the launcher
That should get you going and solve most if not all annoyances coming from MIUI. You'd be amazed with the quality of Google Camera HDR+! Just check the attached samples (they are all compressed due to Xda but you'll get the point).

Wow! that was very informative. Thanks a lot man :good: . And yes, I get the point about the photo samples are amazing.
I have the 32 GB version and I already purchased Nova Launcher and use no matter what. I will have to find the addons you mentioned as I have no idea what they do. It's the first time I install a custom ROM on my MI 5. One final question, do you have any thoughts on AOSP Extended?

I can add all the files you need to a dropbox folder and share the link if that would be easier? I find that the Mi5 is super easy to modify, you shouldn't worry too much. I'll add the firmware you need and GAPPS if that would help you transition.
Yes, AEX is a great ROM with many features. Most Devs seem to be on it (going by their discussions). I haven't found a way to fix my LCD issues on AEX yet, which is the main reason for not using it currently.

You need to run the apk after you flashed the magisk module and rebooted your phone to calibrate the OIS.
Related
Official Build: http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-20.html
Note:
Based on 5.0.2
Installation takes long time.
For me (in CWM Recovery), ROM flashing took about 9 minutes and than the 1st boot took 8 minutes so be patient.
Do no flash GApps without 1st boot, it will give FC if you do so.
For root you have to flash SuperSU zip on your own.
Includes Normal (or named as powersave) and Performance mode sticking max frequency at 1.9 GHz and 2.3 GHz respectively.
Doesn't change Wi-Fi MAC address like other custom ROMs, if that matters.
Doesn't have dedicated WCDMA only mode, and resets automatically to preferred if you set in testing after reboot as in general ROMs

Well battery life seems fine. I can't comment on battery life of any ROM, I can't notice difference in battery life matter at all.
Performance seems OK, not very snappy but is good.
But I believe I will flash some other ROM now as only this ROM is one which is giving problem with playing Vainglory. Touching the screen scrolls down notification little bit most times in the app (not anywhere else but the specific game I olay)
ROM is fine not very highly intuitive or something just normal. Has inbuilt different immersed bar. And iOS like smart touch little white button.
Has themes available too.
Bugs idk didn't come across except I mentioned already.
ROM is usable for daily use, test yourself.
And do get rid of stock keyboard, it doesn't write letters despite getting tapped

Heating issue present on heavy usage.
the rom is still in beta stage
Anyone knows how disable hardware buttons backlight? I have Mi4.
ROM is very good do far in my opinion. Good performance, very nice camera (better than cm).

I found best battery is stock rom 5.9.26S from ALBA in Russia forum you can download it here:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3rWz/V8e4aZYBE
Or Madsurfer stock rom 5.9.26S with Sense home launcher
Nougat rom try Ground Zero roms Tipsy, Validus, Tesla normally it got pretty good battery life with good performance.

Used it last night for 2 1/2 hours sot to 50% so I'm assuming 6 hours. Just feels so much more smooth and solid than linage or RR or aosp based ROMs. Way smoother than eui.
It's miui8 port a little bit tricky to get it to boot properly the 1st time but well worth it I have Xposed installed. Freedom
Sent from my Le X820 using XDA Labs
I usually get 5.1/2 - 6 hours SoT on RR which is pretty decent. You just need to find the right settings for long battery life.
Small EUI could potentially outperform RR in the field of batterylife , but I just can't get used to EUI based ROMS after experiencing Nougat features.

I'm running 7.1.2 RR 27/05 build.
I changed the resolution to 1920*1080/420 dpi. It's more than enough for me, I see no point of watching 1440p content on a mobile screen.
I use Balanced Xana ATK profile (Settings->Leeco Extras->AKT profiles) and Greenify app to limit background running apps.
I turned off the logger buffer sizes (Developer settings). In Display settings turned on adaptive brightness and reduced power consumption (livedisplay). Also turned on batterysaving mode in location settings.
I would like to highlight that If I play any game (usually Mobile Legends) I get around 4 - 4 and a half SoT with approximately 1 hour gameplay.
I also tried out the newer build (02/06) but AKT profiles didn't work in that one (not noticed any differences in Kernel Adiutor), so I've decided to stay on this build for while. But I read that there are new powersaving features in the latest build, you might wanna check that out.

Interactive cpu governor, alucard hotplug, and no, i didn't underlock. But if you chose a AKT profile, you don't have to necessarily mess with kernel settings, the profile does that.
Now I'm on 13/6 build, so far it's fine. A bit laggy though, I think the BS 2.3 could cause that. Not noticed any difference in battery life.

Yes and read OP please.
This ROM is awesome. It is pretty stable too. The boot logo is not very appealing. I will keep using it. No bug so far.

I have found one issue, with the phone app. When I try to call someone it doesn't show the call being forwarded,so you can't end the call. And When I am called I can't pick up since there is no prompt for accepting or rejecting call. A problem with the Google dialer maybe.

I ve been using it since last night. receiving texts emails and phone calls, its worth the effort . its a lovely rom.
The battery is pretty terrible, it cant charge while playing, it was draining while charhing so fast, i ofc did a clean install, camera app fails a lot as well, and you cant set every live wallpaper from pixel wallpaper changer it force closes.. i hope in the future you can fix these the rom felt smooth until i started playing games and noticed it wasnt charging while playing..
Hi Dev.
I wiped my data and installed your rom. Everything was perfect. But the galaxy wearable app was force closing.
Could you please help me to solve this problem.
Best regards

Wait what XD. Never experienced this bug. Maybe a charging cable issue? Also, there are two cameras included. GCam isn't as stable as stock by a long shot, so use stock if GCam crashes too much.
Also abt Gear Wearable. Since I extensively debloated this ROM, it is possible I removed something that I shouldn't have. Not to worry, I will release an update next month (Not now because of exams)

Im back on my old 9.0 rom and everything is working just fine, i dont know what the issue was here, but ill check the update when its ready thanks!
Please add Adapt Sound feature if possible in a future build.
Fast, smooth and stable rom. But it has really bad battery usage. The older one(teampixel oreo) vas great at battery usage.
Also i can't find the "Power saving mode". There is no toggle in notification bar and i cant find a way to enable it in settings menu. Anyyone know is it possible to use Power saving mode on this rom?

Hello! The reason battery life was significantly better on Oreo was due to Oreo having a fully working Phantom Kernel! At this point, I'm just waiting for an update to that kernel, so that I can incorporate it, into the ROM, along with adapt sound, Dual Messenger, Gear 360 bug fix and Screen Write (Samsung Capture) since that it the only "useful" Note Feature that can't just be simply added back. I'll also be incorporating a few tweaks here and there to improve performance where possible! Keep an eye out for V1.1
just flashed phantom kernel v2 all ok

How about the rom some important bug
Enviado desde mi SM-N950F mediante Tapatalk
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device. So be advised.
Kernel Features:
-CPU Overclocked (BIG cores to 2.01GHz (experimental, i should reduce and / or disable it if too many users notify instability in F5122 (that is my personal device));
-AdrenoBoost;
-Slimbus (Audio bridge) Overclocking;
-WCD9335 HiFi selector and tunnings louder audio at kernel side;
-WSA8810 tunnings for better and louder audio in speaker;
-CRC disabled;
-DTS Eagle sound integration;
-300 Hz instead 1 kHz for kernel timer (saves power);
-Boeffla Wakelock blocker;
-Quick charge tweaks (2100mA constant charging for QC 2.0 / 3.0 enabled chargers, drawing about 1,6 Amps from wall PSU);
-Tunned voltage regulators for CPU and GPU enabling High Power Mode;
-Kernel general optimizations;
-WIP: add klapse and kcal;
-Enable 160 MHz clock in crypto engine for faster crypto operations.
Special thanks to:
@stefanhh0 github user (idk what is the nick here, please, pm me and i add it if you want) for keeping a source with newer mainline (i guess) patches;
@franciscofranco for many commits that help us improving performance and saving power;
Sony AOSP team;
And others that maybe i forgot to tag here but all them are in the github code below:
https://github.com/LuizPauloDamaceno/kernel
Inside the zip that you can download below, you will find the initial release. You should flash it by fastboot and them reinstall magisk if you have it. Also, have two xml files that is a complementing of the audio tweaks in android side, enabling CLSH_LOHIFI mode in the audio processor and tunning volumes. From mic to headphones and speakers. The thermanager is the one that you should install it for improved thermal handle with this kernel. Dont worry, things shouldn't fry, but is not my fault if them fry. As another complemention, i've done a "userdata" partition for users who have 64 GB variants, like me. The AOSP is compilled for 32 GB i guess and we have only half of our full capacity. Flashing userdata (obviously, will erase your data partition and you will loose everything like is done in the first AOSP flashes if you dont do a back-up...) you will also have more free space
Kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Userdata: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
To copy the below files i like to use root explorer app, you can also do by adb. I'm open for suggestion of better apps too
mixer_paths.xml: copy it to /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change permissions to 0644 octal or rw-r-r.
thermanager.xml: copy it to /system/vendor/etc/thermanager.xml and change permissions to 0644 octal or rw-r-r.
The first versions i will not do the automated flashing because are the initial and testing releases, but if my plans goes ok for the next 15 days or in the worst case next month, i can do a twrp flasheable style to make our lives easier. For me, no random reboots, no overheating for normal use and battery stills ok. Report it your experience, i will appreciate to know! =D

It's awesome that you still keep these kernels up to date. Really appreciate the work.
I've been switching between v14 and v33 of your extreme kernels today for GPU testing. Didn't expect to see a kernel for Pie. I hope you'll update the one for Oreo as well, it's always great to see new changes. Thanks again!
Could this one be used with LineageOS 16 Custom Rom by chippa?

I've stopped oreo because I didn't see any advantages to me to keep it updating, i do this for fun and based in my use. Now i'm using pie, so, i think is fare to start a Pie project...

I dont know, i dont have sure if could be used because maybe the drivers are different. If the LiOs uses 3.10 kernel then dont, you cant, because the drivers of 4.9 kernel is quite different.

LineageOS 16 by chippa uses 3.10 so no, I'll not boot.
@LuizPauloDamaceno i'll test it on the we with aosp 10 instead (already built against 4.9 kernel) and see how it behaves) thanks for your work.

Thank you for the test! I will stay in AOSP Pie for a while since i've built mine one following the sony's tutorial for now. Wainting for the results
So, who tested it the first release? Any observations? soon i will post the second release with some improvements.
I tested the first release on AOSP pie. The battery life is quite good but i needed to set big cores frequency back to 1.8, because the phone heats up a little bit. I also noticed a bug but i don't know if it's due to the rom or to the kernel: sometimes (not too frequently) the system ui force closes without any message. The screen becomes black and after a few seconds it turns on with lockscreen.
Anyway, as wel as in other roms, Whatsapp voice notes are very quiet; can this be solved with mixer path?
Thank you for your effort

When you say voice notes are not very quiet you say about noise or too loud?
About the frequency, yes, the higher frequencies is intended to who wants to play certain games with higher performance or just perform better other applications, but everything has the "dark side". In some AOSP roms (i think all) you have random reboots because the 1.95 GHz is enabled without any overvoltage, so, the clock cannot be sustained by the system and the CPU crashes. I recommend if you want to use these clocks to have a fan in a joystick for example... And if you use is only the daily, use the stock frequencies. =D
About the lockscreen and sysui stop answering, i've also observed this without kernel modifications. So i think can be something from ROM or kernel that isn't related to hardware changes. Can be investigated. For 3 days now that this problem not showing here...

Thanks for the answer. Btw, i meant that voice notes are quiet, so their volume is too low to be heard
Can anyone do a benchmark using antutu and stock 4.9 kernel (not this one) just to compare it? Following screen from next version that I should post soon. With 4.9.224 Linux and many more features.

I took this one a year ago with Omni and 4.9 kernel, I recall performance was terrible on all 4.9 ROMs back then.
On your run I noticed that CPU scores is still lower than stock 8.0 with 3.10 kernel (that one got 46k on CPU and 17k on GPU), but I think it's better than anything we have currently.
By the way @ParanoidNemo how was the kernel running on AOSP 10?

Interesting, thank you for feedback. Yes... CPU score in 4.9 kernels is lower than 3.10. I think is something related to KPTI mitigations or something else... Concerning you're using OMINI rom... Is the wifi thetering working well? I have troubles with AOSP related with that and i thinks is not related to kernel. Thank you.

I did this run a year ago, haven't tested that yet. I've since switched to Lineage GSI (with Sjll's modified 4.9 kernel), and tethering/hotspot works fine.
Just flashed on latest AOSP pie by vknecht and it's work like a charm. No major bugs by far, rom is stable and fast, phone doesn't get really hot even without underclock. Im staying on it because ViPER4Android working with this setup unlike on LOS 16.

Well, random reebots still occur unfortunately, but most on demanding tasks. I'm not an expert, but I don't think this is a kernel issue.
i have tried 3 roms for this device since i got this phone, in my own observation and satisfaction here's my review
Stock Rom(Miui 12)- a bit laggy for me and not fully optimize for multi tasking or gaming, ram eater but very good battery life thanks for 33 watts charging
Pixel Experience- still has bugs like camera video and I also dont like that it doesnt have built in gallery app, only google photos. its good for gaming and multitasking, efficient ram usage I guess. good battery life, fast charging works
EvolutionX- this is my currently rom and im loving it no bugs so far, but also dont have built in gallery app, but thats ok gaming is superb here and the ram usage is all so good. bad news is fast charging doesnt work.
My conclusion is, there is no perfect rom this device yet, lets wait for our beloved developers and support them.
I would love if someone made a kernel that supports 33watts fast charging, optimized ram usage for gaming and multitasking.
I've tried Pixel Experience as well and am now on dotOS (vanilla with microg).
There's a Gcam mod working perfectly, see other threads.
I consider both are very good - and I prefer to install a gallery app of my liking, so it's good there's no preinstalled one!

I found and set the functional camera to select the lens.
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.3.apk (camera)
main[1].xml (my config file)
1) Install the camera. Uninstall the previous GCAM if you cannot install.
2) Start the camera and go to the settings. Config>Save>"a" (SAVE).
3) File main[1].xml copy to /sdcard/gcam/Configs7/
4) Start the camera, double-click this place (photo below) select main file>RESTORE
You get the settings, Wide, Main, Macro lens.
Video works only in normal mode. Slow doesn't work.
So everything will work in this GCAM!

Excellent
Developer from dotOS comes with Bliss.
Tested Bliss ROM 14 (vanilla) with a clean flash, but cannot recommend it at this time.
It doesn't have signature spoofing, so no easy installation of microG.
Also it wrecked the ADB connection, the phone was not recognized by my iMac anymore and I had to reflash MIUI Stock Rom from a windows computer to repair.
Also some UI glitches.
Needs more development, so I'll stick with dotOS in the meantime.
