Builds tend to differ from device to device. Every device has a different maintainer. A ROM which is heavenly stable in one device might be quite an issue in another. I suggest you to begin with ROMs with bigger communities (Like Lineage, AEX, RR etc) and Kernels with bigger communities (Like Franco etc) to get a brief but a first hand experience of different ROMs/Kernels.

after using many ROM finally I'm left with OS lineage with the stock kernel:good:

Quite understandable. LineageOS has a good mount of polish for a custom firmware

i would go for CrDroid without custom kernel cuz their stock kernel rocks. Battery is smooth as it gets and hey i can play pubg with 45-50 fps lol

Need Suggestions

Hi friends,
First of all I would like to thank all the developers, testers and members of the forum. It is good to see that new roms, kernels are still being developed.
I just got a Note 3 few days back and I want to gain max from it in terms of balance/battery performance along with some customizations. Although I am familiar with the concept of rooting etc but in a simpler way. Like I have Nexus 7 2013 and there is a tool called Wugfresh NexusTool Kit. It does all things by itself and I just have to download roms or update the ToolKit.
I do not want to try many roms or kernels to find a right one for me. So consider this as a review suggestion for Rom+Kernel Combo. Now, What I need is :
1a. Volte must work,
1b. FP must work,
1c. Xposed Framework should work for greenify/adaway etc (preferred choice)
1d. Battery should not drain more than stock else no point flashing custom rom for me.
1e. Signal should be stable & wifi/hotspot work without problem as I use this device solely for WifiHotspot.
1f. Should be stable but I can adjust with less important bugs like Reading Light, Lite Mode setting etc. I dont need them.
1g. Feature rich.
1h. Rom should use least resources/ram etc and have no bloatwares.
So, kindly help me in finding a stable Rom+Kernel combo. My device is Kenzo(Snapdragon) with the latest stock MIUI 8.1.1.0 Rom and FP is FPC. Also, I do not have micro sd card so I can take back up of phone on the phone itself. I would also like to know about the process of successfully using f2fs format on Note 3. So friends, I am awaiting your kind suggestions.
Thank you.

If you want Xposed, you can't have Nougat, there's no Xposed for it. Radon kernel and the ROM I linked to is a good combination.
You can try RR Remix Rom + Radon kernel. Its a great combo with lots of feature, good battery life and stable for daily use. If you want Xposed than flash MM version of RR Remix Rom cause Nougat Rom does not support Xposed as of now.

Thanks but in Lineage OS 13(very good rom), people are still reporting bugs. I prefer a stable rom with almost no bugs.

Thanks, but which rom supports substratum and vulcan, if not RR Remix?
And which Recovery would be good, ZCX or Official TWRP 3.0.2.2?

Andriod 7 Stable ROM to install?

Hi Guys,
I'm currently using pure nexus rom.
Compared with Lineage OS & Resurrection remix are those ROM more stable?
Which one should i choose between the two?
Are there any difference?
Thanks,
Use Nitrogen OS instead. It's good. Been using for 3 months.
there isn't any nougat rom stable yet
all of them has some sort of bugs
just study well what are you going to flash to be fully aware
For Dirty flash & OTA NOS stable - Pure stability & clean flash wiping data AospEX - RR ruled out - LOS nil customization & no Xposed - Find which one's for you [emoji6]

U should try mokee ROM! Its very stable and with franco kernel it's very battery friendly and smooth. Didn't notice any bugs.
I was too on pure Nexus and changed to mokee.

does it lock the boot loader?
Go For RESSURECTION REMIX
Best Roms rite now and stable and more

No why it should lock? I thought only MIUI Roms can lock the bootloader.
But I don't care about it, because I flashed this ROM with locked bootloader. ^^
using RR since 3 months, tried nexus, lineageOS, nitrogen, and all the other roms.
Go for pixel rom smooth and stable some bugs are their like camera and torch but these can be fixed after installing the rom, otherwise u are good to go.
One common bug of video calling is there with stock app which is there in every nougat rom.
If you want the best signal in Nougat, choose a CAF N based rom. I highly recommend AOSiP rom.

The best rom for this device?

Just unlocked my bootloader, can anyone kindly tell me which is the best rom for this phone? Considering 8+ hours of battery life, lil bit customizations and stable performance.

Do I need to flash any firmware before flashing this rom, I am currently on the nougat build of MIUI 8.7.7.13
Ressurection remix / miui 8.6 and soon 9 ?

MIUI 8.7.7.13 is based on MM? If it's so, flash firmware before installing the Rom. If it's based on nougat, then no need of firmware

It is based on Nougat. Thanks for the replies. Very much appreciated. But, in comparison to Resurrection Remix, is it better?

How strange, this Redmi Note 4X (Mido) is not listed in the Xiaomi device list. How can you have an official ROM?
Of the best ROMs, it's difficult, huh ...
But for me, they are:
Slim Roms
Paranoid
AEX
Ressurrection Remix

Going deep eh, if you want MOAR features go for RR, otherwise LineageOS XXD

Have been using AICP since 18th July and omg that's my longest stay on any particular rom? It's flawless .. Smooth af. What i think is that at this moment most of the roms for Mido have reached a super stable stage.
Global stable Is the best ROM
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 4 mediante Tapatalk
IMHO CrDroid is the best ROM for this device. It has lots of useful features, the most used customizations, it's updated frequently and has great performance.
I have used that ROM on many devices and it always has worked great, but on the RN4 it really shines.
For me it's Paranoid android. Or rr if you like a lot of features, but for me AOSPA is better.

All custom ROMs on this forum will give you 8+ hours of SOT. If all you need is a "little bit" of customisations, then go for the slimmest ROMs - e.g., SlimROM, or MainstageOS, or this AOSP-CAF ROM, or any number of others. Take your pick!
Thanks to all of you for the replies. Very much thankful and appreciated.

Flash firmware when flashing nougat ROM (eg lineage) while marshmallow ROMs (miui). If you are in miui beta global rom on nougat then no need to flash the firmware

Best OS?

Guys what do you recommend? Android Pie stable or beta? Or do you recommend any custom rom? Thank you!
i want to know to .

Any bugs? I mean I prefer all options to be working which are working in Miui. I am not talking about the ones which are explicitly for Miui but in general.

This rom solves the screen delay?
In all honesty, everyone is different. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you don't mind flashing, I urge you to try a few and see what fits you the best. What's good for one is not always what's good for the other. Personally, I use pixel experience with pix3lfy magisk module... But that's just what I like.
I literally try every single rom I can find for my devices. Each one has its good and bad sides. Sometimes I like using a Pie ROM, sometimes I like MIUI. I'm using Pixel Experience right now, but as soon as the next MIUI from Xiaomi.eu is available I'll be installing that one.
Every person uses their device differently and therefore will have different requirements.
Me, I look for smoothness of operation and long battery life.
Syberia is great, Havoc is good, PE is lovely, MIUI is nearly perfect (for me).
Get comfortable with backing up your data and flashing and try them all!
I flashed Mi-Room 8.12.13, and I can say, this one is the best I tried. Seems snappier than EU and stable/beta. I also tried LOS/PExperience but they seem half-finished...

Yes, but you won't notice any differences. At the moment I'rocking almost 10h SOT which I haven't managed to do since MIUI 9...
I do use Syberia, its great performance over 265k in Antutu and is stable af. I didnt found any single bug and OTA works good.
I would like to test Pixel Experience but im very comfortable with Syberia
I have used almost all custom ROMs available for Poco F1 except crDroid and Mokee. And this is my top 5 choices.
1. Stock miui (8.12.13; Rooted and debloated a few system apps)
2. Miui EU
3. NOS
4. Omni
5. AOSiP
Right now I am using NOS+MicroG+Magisk+Derp Kernel and the combination seems to work for me pretty well. Anyway, this is my personal choice. You may have different experience.

What is the best one of custom roms for mi a3

Hello brothers,
Can you please give me an advise ???
My device is mi a3 , What is the best one of custom roms thats give me many features more that stock rom and others custom roms.
Havoc OS and Evolution X.
According to my knowledge the best roms that have many customisation features for mi A3 would be Evolution X and Havoc OS.
But the development of Evolution X for mi A3 has been stopped I think and I had some issues while installing Havoc OS on my device

Why not use the stock Android 10 ROM? It's way stable than any custom ROMs. I'm using Android 10 stock ROM April build, rooted with magisk. I also installed Pix3lify and I installed EdExposed to use GravityBox.

What features are you looking for? I'm pretty sure GravityBox has them.
Stock ROMS are obviously way stable than any custom ROMS, it's a known fact. Besides fingerprint doesn't work properly on any custom ROMS and with the new Android 10 April build, fingerprint works very well and also works when the screen is off.

Will you get security updates when you install these plugs?
I tried miui.eu bitnet 11.2 beta is very pretty than stock rom and everything works very well, fingerprint is very speed than stock rom and the camera else.
i tried syberia, EvoX, pixel experience, those three are faster, less battery consumption, and receives officially updated by developers.
