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

@Boomshiva you said "better memory management". I 'm trying RR rom but I don't see any difference (In the best case 1.841 MB available on my 4GB Ram memory). What kernel could we use?

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

Guys , could anyone make a custom rom with a stock rom of j2 or anyother that can perorm more faster and with better battry life and stable rom while giving the android N features? it will be a great pleasure to all samsung j5 users.
there's a rom made from j2.but its not stable. and with another one with a5 but it lacks performance. there are others many cutom roms but i prefer the way of stock roms of samsung. could anyone develop or remake a one???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
search for resurrection remix rom
Yah i tried that. but i dont like that much. speed and features wise its good. but im looking for a one with a more likely interface with samsung stock roms.
have you ever used j2ux rom? its great with speed and bttry. but not stable. there are bugs. after V3 it stopped developing. im looking a one like that,
i have also used skies rom. thats bit slow.
and also a5ux rom also good. when doing 2 , 3 tasks its getting laggy. and also in gaming game freezes at times.
So any idea?
it will be better if anyone can develop the j2ux rom for more extend by adding some features and fixing bugs,
thank you btw.

Pixel experience pie with 5fth feb 2019 latest update.best for battery nor customization.
Nos Magenta by Xeondead
Well you will only get suggestions based on people's review, I recommend you to either use AOSPExtended for good perfomance and battery, i also warn DO NOT USE HAVOC OS, there are several good features in AEX that can satisfy your needs.
Pixel Experience only lacks those customisation it has good battery and performance, however you can use substratum themes, just get a free one but paid ones are the best.
Resurrection Remix Pie, is in beta(there are like 2 new builds). You might get some bugs in it so just let developers take their time to fix bugs and make that ROM stable.
Nitrogen OS, is recommended by many users. I haven't personally tried it yet, try checking KTNTECH VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. He makes rom videos on Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5, check his videos they are good and helpful in selecting ROM.
Hello respected community,
I use the 6 gig 128 gig F1 varient and I recently updated to the 0.6 version of MIUI 11. Since then I have been facing major heating, lag and battery life drop. All major. And so I'd like to switch to a custom ROM asap. I understanding asking for a best ROM ain't right because there are a lot of variables to consider. I hate the animation management on MIUI 11 as it just sparks here and there at most time.
I have I list of things that would need to be checked when switching to the ROM. I'm hoping this will make it easier for you guys.
Gaming performance, Smooth Animations, Decent SoT and Minimal bugs so as to use it as a daily driver.
If needed, I can install a custom Kernal with the ROM too. I also would like to experience the new gestures of Android 10 with it.
I guess the ones that I came across were Oxygen OS, Pixel Experience, Lineage OS, Nitrogen and Havoc. Which one might be best suitable for me from your experience?
Thanks a ton in advance. Much appreciated.
AOSP:Evo x Havoc
Lineage:CRDROİD
Miuiort MiRoom ,MandFX or official MiuiPro
11.0.6.0 is an incremental update to 11.0.4.0 which has its own flaws.

Considering ur requirements 11.0.5.0 is an all rounder : root it, change kernel, reduce animation scale to 0.5x by going into developer settings.
Now talking abt custom roms, as u knw devs have limited resources, feedback, data, sample rate, testing etc as compared to xiaomi's.
I am not saying xiaomi produces flawless roms bt u think over the above points to decide.

Thank You, how is the performance for Havoc OS? I've been wanting to test it out for a good while now. I've used Arrow OS and Bootleggers on a Moto G4 Plus and got comfortable with the features they had to offer. I'm guessing Havoc is similar too?

Thank You for the valuable feedback. Also I forgot to mention, I'd like to get out of the MIUI environment. But with the data you guys have, which Rom would you pick between Havoc and CrDroid for stability and performance? And also, which Kernal should I be using for the above said two features?
Thank You both for the valuable responses.

I've been using crdroid for about a year (since pie and continued to 10) and i recently switched to havoc (both versions)
I have to say that both ROMs are great.
Havoc gapps version gives a more premium feeling (for me at least).
I'm using it with Optimus drunk kernel and my gaming experience is great ( i play injustice 2 and mortal Kombat 11 ) without any drawbacks in everyday life.
P.s. I've tested almost every option and that's what I liked the most, but bare in mind that if you don't try for your self you'll never know.
wait for couple of days,
official lineage will be released, flash it
u can use a custom kernel to improve performance
other optn:

Thank you for your responses. CrDroid looks really promising as of now to be honest. I'll keep you guys updated on my move when I make it.
Cheers to you all! ??

My favorite ROM is GZOSP. However, since I couldn't find it for Redmi K20 pro, I settled down with another of my favorite ROM, Pixel Experience. But instead of flashing the regular edition, I chose the Plus edition just to get a little bit more customization. The reason I chose Pixel Experience over other custom ROMs is because of the aesthetic and pixel like experience that comes with minimal customizations (I like ROMs with minimal customizations) and some additional goodies from Google. Performance is good as well. Most importantly, the developer of the ROM; Henrique is a good friend of mine and is a very active developer. He takes feedback constantly and try to eradicate bugs/issues immediately.
Miui.eu, because all of the AOSP roms share the same bugs. Such as the home gesture not working in the recents area when you hide the gesture bar. MIUI also has a much nicer status area. It also better integrates with my smart home devices and tells me the battery charge of my wireless Xiaomi airbuds.
Which rom support sRGB color mod?

So what's the best custom miui Rom?
So far i tested a few Roms(EvoX, Aosip, Los, Havoc) and Aosip looks so far the best.
No bugs, no problems (just after 5 months of dirty flasing it got necassary to do a clean install because of random reboots), it seems to be the best optimized and lightest rom but still has enough customization for me.
Beside the good battery, aswell performance feels awesome like chrome scrolling is super smooth (on los and havoc it feels laggy, evox i dont remember).
I dont play hardcore games, but pogo feels aswell smoother on Aosip then on other roms, i just played 1-2 times cod but only on aosip and it was smooth.
May i gonna try AICP next, looks promising too.

Isn't this a bit short ? The shortest possible advertisement maybe.
I use it too, mainly because I don't want gapps and like long battery life. The latest version gives me about 6 days (I never wait that long because I keep my battery between 50 and 80%). The previous version gave me about 9 days of light use.
The last Havoc os unofficial fan service build (26/09) takes the cake for me. This version is after everything got polished up in official so before closing the project the dev decided to add a few unofficial features (like the option to disable night light for the FOD).
The rom is flawless, battery life is great, tons of options, no bugs whatsoever (except for one in the shady launcher where google now feed gets zoomed in every now and then, but that is really minor), the fingerprint reader is blazing fast in this build. All in all, among the best custom rom experiences I've had, and I've had around 10 different devices running custom aosp roms by now.
Also, there is a gapps version of the rom so you don't have to flash your own and them being included means much better compatibility than flashing nano gapps for example.

I also like RR for it's customizations, but for me personally, havoc comes out in top. It's cleaner.
I've just tried Aosip for the week, and it's riddled with bugs. Gesture issues with recents. Wifi dropping out. Hangups in recents. Crashing apps. Average battery life. ?
crDroid 6.10
I've been using it almost 2 months and it has everything I need in a custom rom: call recording, smart charging, blink flashlight, screen cast working, remove location and microphone status bar icons, default launcher (double tap to sleep, icon changer), among other great customizations.
Bugs? I really don't look for bugs, but I was having cracking sound bug in games and notifications, but I fix it by flashing F1xy kernel.
It's a really great rom, its EOL, but I don't need the latest security patches and the same developer is already working in A11 rom, so I'll keep an eye on that.
