Finally managed to officially unlock bootloader, but since I started that process over 2 weeks ago, a lot has happened in the Rom and development forum. I was originally going for CM13, but I'm not longer sure if that's a good idea.
I mostly use my phone as a music player, and it runs most of the day while I'm at work. I occasionally send calls and text messages.
I got the RMN3 for the battery and significantly larger screen than what I had before. Phone plans in canada are god awful and as such I got literally no data on my plan, so outside of home wifi, I got no internet on it.
The reason I want a custom rom is mainly to remove bloat and improve battery life, and maybe add a few functions/ behaviours.
I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor, should it not work, but having the camera non-functional is a no-go.
I'm not really interested in constantly having to flash an update on my phone. I just want one good, stable rom with little to no bloat that will do what I'll ask it to, with a good battery life, without crashing. Updating once every month or so would be reasonable. I heard that Android 7(+) had some battery life improvements (Doze?) so I'm conflicted as to rom and android versions.
I'm pretty new to Android, and I'm completely overwhelmed by the many different types of roms, along with the many different versions of the same rom (Example: many CM14/14.1 builds).
There's a lot of guides, but most of them seem out of date.
Device: Global Dev, Kenzo
Any suggestions? (If possible, please also include which version of TWRP you would recommend)
I personnally own the Kate version and flashed the official CM13 ROM built for Kenzo on it.
Everything is working fine for me, including the fingerprint sensor and the camera.
I also use the phone to listen to music all day at work and it worked really well with good battery life.
About the TWRP version I used, honestly I don't remember very well since I tried a few and the reason was something to do with the Kate device I believe, so you may not have to use the same version of TWRP.

My recommendations for you :
Recovery - Alka TWRP

Kernel - Radon 2.6.5
I Was A Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation User & From The Day I Got The Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation I Was Using The ( Nexus Experience ) ROM & It's The Most Perfectly Stable ROM You Will Ever Use On Any Device & I Got The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Yesterday & I Am Waiting For The Permission Of Unlocking Then I Will Try The Custom ROM's For This Phone If You Want The Best Stable ROM's For Any Phone
It Goes Like This
1st Stable ROM : Stock ROM
2nd Stable ROM : CyanogenMod
3rd Stable ROM : Nexus Experience
And It's Only My Opinion But I Tried All Of The Custom ROM's For The Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation & I Didn't Found A Better ROM Than
( CyanogenMod , Nexus Experience ) , It's Just My Opinion
& Here Is The Link For The Nexus Experience ROM ( http://nxrom.us/redminote3pro.html )

any stable rom with interactive gov
Hi, you mentioned stock ROM (not Cyanogen or Nexus experience, just stock). Where could I get that from?
I'm on beanstalk ROM (android 7.1) loving it!
Try krexus-CAF!
You could go for the official build of RR with Radon kernel
welcome to the race, mate
well if you want to improve battery life you are recomended to flash AOSP-Based roms . miui and cm-based roms have battery drain issue (i can't explain why, but i can say that because i tried them)
my recomendation would be Cardinal AOSP
try rr remix 5.7.4 with radon kernel...
Hello! I recently began to see the lots of Pie ROMS availables in the forum. I have X829 rooted model, and I want to know suggestions, wich is the most stable rom in battery/QC/camera.
Right now I reach between day and a half and two days of battery, with 4 and 5 hours of SoT
and please I don't know how to install. I don't understand the thing of trebble TWRP
AOSP Extended is best Pie ROM for Le Max 2, It is stable, good battery backup, VOLTE, Extension and regular updates
Good afternoon,
I'm completely new to Android, I came from iOS 3 weeks ago.
I know with iPhone's you can jailbreak, and I've only just discovered custom ROMs for Android.
I have a Samsung S9+ (UK, so it'll be exynos) - Model: SM-G965F and running: One UI Version 1.0 and Android Version 9. I also have the latest security patch: 1 April 2019.
I've heard of Custom ROM's Resurrection Remix and Pixel Experience.
Because I have the latest OS, is it possible to flash a custom ROM on my S9+? or is it too new?
If I can, do you have any custom ROMs you'd recommend I try out? I like the gestures of OxygenOS, and I prefer Google Apps over Samsung Apps.
I've been reading the forums, and watching videos. But any guides you have to install a ROM, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your help!
TGP (The Galaxy Project)
I have used TGP ROM's and kernels on several devices over the years and have never had any issues. The developer is always floating around should anyone need any help with anything and battery life is always amazing.
It's the first thing I did after coming from an S7E to the S9+ a no brainer...
1. Download Odin and Samsung USB drivers for your PC.
2. Unlock bootloader.
2a. Reboot into download mode.
3. Download latest TWRP, flash that sucker into your phone.
(Congratulations, you've just voided your warranty if you care about that)
Welcome to the smart side.
From there, you've got a smorgasbord of ROMs, Kernels, etc, to choose from to customise to your heart's content.
Enjoy!
(fwiw, I'm running (rooted) Light ROM, with white wolf kernel. And love it - and the nearly 36 hour gap between charges)
Hello, I used to have Samsung S1 for years with Cyanogenmod which was absolute blast compared to stock ROM.
Then I bought Poco F1, I bought it ~year ago from Gearbest and there is no waranty or anything and since stock ROM didint had any problems I didint flashed it. I receive updates still and apart from crapware(maybe pyware too for chinese gov) which cant be removed I dont have any problems with it.
I didint follow the "scene" for a while. So I wanted to ask what are benefits and cons when going custsom ROM? ( I m interestsed in Lineage mostly).
Thing I miss most in old roms when screen goes off or on there used to be "old CRT TV effect" that was just way too cool
Benefits
1) Smoother experience than stock (Android Gestures is way better than Xiaomi's)
2) Faster Version updates and Security updates
3) No recommendations (ads) Telemetry and Tracking from Xiaomi (I know you said you don't mind, but I personally do not like it)
4) As you have pointed out, ability to Mod the Rom as per your desire
5) You can even go google free in Lineage OS
Cons
1) Updating ROM might not be as smooth as updating MIUI
2) You lose a lot features Xiaomi offers (I personally love the automatic shutdown and turn on feature. I have not been able to replicate it in a Custom Rom)
I've been sticking to Pie bases custom roms till the time Android 10 roms become stable. Now I notice, many have changed their status to stable from beta, so was wondering if I should take the plunge now. Normally, I don't wait that long as have been flash junky previously but these days I have some work related apps on my phone, some of which can't be backed up and require support from IT team of my org to set it back up.
I've been going through threads of some a10 custom roms (cr, havoc, etc) and noticed some common bugs:
1. SELinux status - Don't care
2. Volte issues on some networks - It is imp. Does volte work without any issues on Jio (india) and preferably Idea/VF too (on both sims)
3. Encryption - Don't care, I mostly flash DFE anyway
4. Whatsapp Audio calls - Important. Some mentioned audio not coming correctly
5. Magisk - unable to pass safetynet. Although imp but not a show stopper
6. v4a - important. But i think its working now with some workarounds
7. f2fs - I think it works but just to confirm otherwise i have to format the storage
Are there any other bug besides this? And what is status for 2 and 4? If anyone can also comment on battery life and overall stability compared to Pie it will be helpful
its not long enough to start expecting fully backed custom rom on Android 10. I remember the switch from Oreo to Pie was disaster too! where from P to Q its much smoother.
this is why many (including myself) is currently on update suported version of Pie (Crdroid) and AOSIP (akhil narang) released latest build yesterday which is on PIE too.
frankly I will give atleast couple of months in order to have all Dirty Unicorn Customizations & other cosmetic affects to work properly!

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking same thing too. Maybe, once xiaomi releases a10 update source, things will gather speed.
