I just got my Poco F1 and before I migrate everything over, I was wondering if I should go to the effort of installing a custom ROM (where I understand there to be unlock ir issues), or just get used to miui (looks ok, just has lots of mi stuff I will never use)? I feel like I can get used to it if I install the Evie launcher, but was just wondering what setups others have tried in the forum. I think if I did go for a ROM, I'd probably try RR/Lineage (worked nicely on my note 4).
Would there be any huge benefits of a custom ROM over miui except for preference? I've installed custom ROMs for years to get additional functionality, but I think miui looks like it could suffice.
Any advice would be great
Hi,
Your best bet would be to use mi global stable ROM ie. Stock ROM or global beta version (more stable than stock one also called developer ROM) , IMO custom ROMs are generally comes with some bugs , as I had used lots of custom ROMs in past in almost all of my android phones and tablets , custom ROMs always have some bugs in them .
If you have lots of time then you can go for custom ROMs try them and wait till they add some features and then ROM get unstable.
Previously I had Redmi note 3 pro , and flashed almost every nougat, marshmallow and Oreo ROMs but didn't find any stable ROMs that suited my needs ,some caused lots of heat, some of them were lagging, network issues,etc after that I switched to developer ROM of miui and this is the most stable ROM ever (although it's marshmallow) but absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Sorry for my bad English and long post.
Hope it helps.

I'm looking for help selecting a ROM that is stable. I've flashed about a half dozen ROMS over the past few months and seem to have to switch because of bugs. Maybe it's because I get whatever is the newest. But I only have three requirements:
STABLE
NFC/Isis/Softcard compatible (even via mod)
Like S5 apps/styling
I really like being able to so *#0011# to see if I'm in AWS mode, but isn't required. I can't seem to do it with AOSP ROMS
Thank you

Chaos ROM has an S5 theme...
Most stable ROM I've seen is Eclipse though.
If you want stability and s5 features with NFC, go for hyperdrive, its also customizable. If you want a aosp ROM, do eclipse. Those are prob the best Roms for the s4
Hello,
I was looking through questions/roms and found it really confusing, which ROM should be the most suited for daily use.
It is for my girlfriend, who is not tech enthusiast and would get annoyed if I flashed roms on her new phone just to check which works the best. She doesn't play games and performance would not be an issue. Daily apps (facebook, snapchat, camera, browser, messaging etc.) must work well. The phone will arrive with custom ROM from Aliexpress and chinese junk apps, so flashing is essential.
Should I just flash official global ROM or would you suggest something else?
Global MIUI 8 6.8.4.
SpaceX/ManhIT based on Global MIUI 8. A bit slower updates but leaves out the bloatware and adds some optimisations. Can be flashed on locked bootloader
Thanks! If SpaceX does not have any bugs I will try it out.
I tried all found that MIUI is more stable than other Rom. RR and lineage have some bugs. I didnt found any on MIUI. What are your thoughts guys.
Maybe the best of the two worlds? A custom ROM based on MIUI?
My next try will be surely the Mi-globe ROM, where you can also choose the components to be included.
I prefer custom rom.
Using AOSP Extended and it's nice.
Give it a try.
Custom rom will have some bugs that's main issue. If I wanna use rom for daily driver it should be bug free. So Native roms of device are better than custom ones. It can be used by rooting and doing tweaks to official roms.
I'm having issue with gps while using MIUI. Maybe it's just my phone.
Haven't try custom MIUI.
Currently I'm using Slim rom because I prefer stock Android experience. No issue with gps.
dude seriously!!! Custom Roms Like Aex/Rr are officially Fully Stable no Bug On Em.. only minor Bugs Which are negligible so If u want to try ill recommend Aex Which is fully stable and u can use it as daily driver without any problem and battery backup is same on all rom it depends on ur usages.

I will give it a try Aex( I tried MIUI 9 china beta ,lineage OS and Rr)
I guess it depends on the end user. I mean, I have used MIUI, COOL UI, Zen UI etc. I would say, every ROM is good in their own. I personally prefer stock ROM. One of the reason for me is that Custom ROM (Cool UI on Coolpad Note 5) sometimes creates laggy experience.
The main thing that I didn't like in MIUI is some of the cool notification things that are present in Stock Android. That's why I switched to Lineage, Resurrection Remix, and finally on AOSP Extended.
Hi guys,
I have a Redmi Note 4 MTK and this is the first time I will be using a custom ROM on this device. The reason I want to switch to a custom ROM is because I am facing huge battery drains overnight (approx. 40%~60%) with the stock MIUI ROM.
Between the EpicROM and Xiaomi EU ROM, which one is better and recommended?
Thanks!

I highly doubt that the stock ROM is responsible for such a high battery drain. Probably one of your apps is the reason.
Xiaomi EU ROMs are based on China Stable and China Developer ROMs. They remove some bloat ware (like most Google Apps) and some MIUI Apps which you can simply download from the PlayStore if needed.
Epic ROM is always based on Developer ROMs and has more Modifications/Tweaks.

Hmm, seems like EpicROM would be a better option for me then.
I still get the same battery drain overnight even after factory resetting the phone and not installing any apps. I think my battery issue is caused by the phone not entering deep sleep.
I've been having lots of issues with my model. I plan to upgrade to the new Redmi Note 5 Pro once it is launched in my country.
Hello everyone, I was asking myself which rom and kernel should I use in order to:
-Get the best performance ?
-Get the best screen on time ?
-Get something balanced between performance and screen on time ?
There are so many custom roms and kernels for this phone, I can't try them all.
Thanks in advance.
USE PIXEL EXPERIENCE ROM WITH Sphinx Kernel - v1.8.7 by milouk
I have tried LOS, PE, NOS, Omni, AOSIP and AEX. But trust me, nothing is as fast and smooth as miui. But I hate miui for tons of system apps. So, the solution is miui eu ROM. Try it once and you will be amazed to discover a new miui without any bloatware and blazing fast performance. And just to let you know that none of the custom ROMs have IR camera driver and hence face unlock doesn't work as miui. Moreover, almost all custom ROMs and kernels have battery % drop issue on reboots. However, miui eu doesn't have any such issue. So, you may consider trying miui eu after trying all custom ROMs to see the difference or else different people may tell you different stories.
