I would very appreciate for some recommendation ^^ - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

hello everyone
I just got a redmi note 4 SD 3 days ago, after a year and a half with my Sony Z
I'll be able to unlock bootloader tonight and get a custom ROM running
currently I have these choices : AOSiP, Cardinal AOSP, AICP, FireHound, RR, dotOS
I want a stable rom with balance between performance and battery, good SOT and suit for daily driver
so if anyone can give a recommendation, I would very appreciate ^^
thank you all ^^

MIUI is the best choice!

You should try out with something stock-ish aosp like los 15.1 . After you've used it for a while, you would be having a basemark in terms of battery life and performance. After that you are free to use whichever rom you want.
And according to me in general los extended by alexey711 has always given me the best battery life. And the performance is just great too.:good:

first of all, thank you ^^
and yes, I know a lot about LOS back in the days with my Sony Z
but I want a little bit of customization and some small features as well so I didn't put LOS in the list
I just flashed AICP latest build earlier along with ElectraBlue kernel and Magisk, so far so good,no bugs, gonna test for a few more days
again thank you, I'll take a look at your choice when I finishing testing this ROM ^^

It comes with gapps pre loaded. So that's why it is heavy

about 500-550mb for the ROM and 250-300mb for the Gapps @@
I only use pico gapps so that's a lot of unused stuffs

Try havoc os, it has p style animation, status, volume key style, custom animation, font change , better sot.

I think, RR nightlies are stable enough for everyday use.
RR is faster with same kernel and same kernel settings. I have video proof of opening speed of fb and fb Messenger - huge difference.. Aosp based roms are slow in opening fb and Messenger
Who uses fb and messenger lol
From my testing aosp is faster

But i dont say that nitrogen is not good, i think nitrogen can offer Best battery backup and most stable camera. But Yes iam using fb and messenger and iam using greenify, so I dont Care about drain from these apps, so I like that Ressurection remix is opening these apps 2 times, maybe 3 times faster... It is dissaster.

Man... I tried all roms for kenzo many times...i used to flash 5-20roms daily...so I know. Its same performance man...and cant be faster...just try formatting cache and data to F2FS...and for apps enable force gpu rendering, and turn off all animations.
For fb you can use it througj web browser or search for lite facebook. Its really bad app

[Q] Nitrogen vs Resurrection Remix - Which is better for RN3-Kenzo

I am currently on RR 5.8.3 23rd April build. It is working fine but i feel battery backup is less than MIUI, especially xiaomi.eu.
I have heard that battery backup and Camera are better in Nitrogen but customizations are better in RR. Also, as per my experiance RR has proven to be more stable than Nitrogen, although I used Nitrogen a long time ago. Can anyone suggest which one one of these is better for kenzo?
I am trying to avoid MIUI as it is too much buggy, even the stable ROMs.

NOS with franco kernel and naptime is a great combo!
After long time on NOS I tried AOSP Extended with umang kernel and now it is my favorite rom. Try it, you don't regret it

There's no doubt, A ROM is not good only if it's battery backup is good. If I need a phone only for battery backup, I would go for Nokia 1100.
Only reason im backing off from NOS nd LOS is coz of their frequent updates... Monthly updates are fine with patches...
Btw im using pure nexus with stock kernel... Pretty good battery backup nd performance too...

It's the default theme that comes with Nitrogen OS. If you're talking about the last screenshot, it is EX Kernel Manager app running on dark theme.

Which ROM has best camera app?

Hi everyone!
I got Honor 5X for my daughter and put Lineage OS on it. She's not really impressed with the performance... She's teenager and want good camera app.
What ROM would you recommend? Don't need all the features, need stable, snappy ROM with good battery life and working fingerprint sensor (again - teenager).
Thanks!

Thank you for publishing dotos .This is the Best ROM I have tried so far and I have tried all ROMs for ido.I have downloaded it from 4pda and using it since the day that came out and I have found no bugs and its the fastest ROM.
I hope someone maintain this ROM and update it to oreo
PS.The only problem I'm facing is when I call with Viber and speaker on the other person can't hear me clear but I guest it's a problem with all lineage ROMs.
I've quickly tested it today. It feels very fast and is also very stable. To the battery consumption I cannot say so much at the moment. But it has definitely no battery-drain.
This ROM support substratum or not?

Yes this rom support substratum which is why in op it's said full oms
The longer I use DOT-OS the more it fascinates me: It's very responsive, scrolling is absolutely smooth, it's quite energy-saving, apps are installed nearly as fast as with OREO-ROMs (but remember it's Nougat!), it neither crashes nor slows down ever. - From now on this ROM will become my daily-driver and it will replace my long-term favourite AOKP.
So :good::good: for the devs of this masterpiece of programming!
Excellent rom aesthetically very fascinating, but the core never go deep sleep. Is there a way to solve? A solution increases battery life. For a 10 and praise rom.
Thanks a lot developers!

Kernel-adiutor is implemented in DOT-OS. Maybe this can lower the power-consumption a little. But if deep-sleep is possible with it, I actually don't know.

As far as I experienced now, this ROM goes into deep-sleep mode. When it's switched off ("screen-off") it consumes only a few percents of battery-power during 8+ hours of being switched-off.
 @vergaril: Maybe you have an app running in the background, which drains your battery. On my phone it was for example X-Widgets, which even consumed more power than the display! - And that was quite a lot! You can control the power-consumption of single apps in the Settings-menu, there in Battery.
1 thing is little bit strange...so to ask if somebody knows...on dev site, there is no ROM for Redmi 3. Got for 3S/Prime, but not for 3.
Is this ROM for sure?

Depends on your usage, I'm a heavy user(gaming, browsing,youtube) I will get around 4-4½ hrs, I use mobile data a lot. If u r a light u might get up to 5-5½hrs also..
I've got flashed Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 and I use phone pretty heavy - almost always mobile data is on, browsing internet, gaming, YouTube and a lot of music. GPS and sync are on only when I need them.
I reach about 6/6,5h.

No, I don't use it. The only things I do is using Greenify, change battery performance on efficiency, disable GPS and sync when I don't use it and set screen brightness on as low as possible.
And of course I don't use Facebook app.
