I have this spare S6 edge my wife left me after buying a new mobile, it's still in very good shape and I would like to use it essentially as a tablet (no sim card, wi-fi only); most important, I would like to use it as a spare token generator for my work and as a consequence I need these functionalities:
encryption
no root
camera working.
I'm tired of Samsung stock ROM and I would like to try something newer; so far I have tried official LineageOS 14.1, unofficial 15.1 and 16, nexus 9.0 and Ultimate Oreo (note 8 port). Among those roms, the only one suitable for me is LOS 14.1, all others have issues:
LOS 15.1 and 16 : no encryption; 16 does not have HWC and overall appears less smooth than all others
Nexus 9.0 : rather buggy and again no encryption
Ultimate Oreo: camera does not work when I need it.
LOS 14.1 is fully functional and pretty stable, but what I do not like about it is that is not as smooth as ultimate oreo (really impressive how smooth that is) and after all it is still Nougat as stock Samsung ROM.
My question is: do you have any suggestion of ROM I could try ? Should I go back to stock ROM and live happy with it ?
thanks

Hello everyone,
First of all, thanks to all the developers who revived this orphan child of Xiaomi.
I want to use this pad as a daily driver. Which custom ROM would be preferable. I have seen Lineage OS 14.1 (Stock blobs) and LOS 14.1, 15.1 (Shield Blobs) by smoke team. They are nice.
Stablity and smoothness/swiftness are my primary requirement. I don't want most feature packed rom.
Thank you.
I would say any Shield blob rom would do. I would prefer 14.1 versions because I watch a lot of youtube with this thing.
I run atm: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-5-xiaomi-t3734895 and I am very happy. Everything works just fine and comparing to stock blobs 14.1, the shield one beats it 100-0.
To those who flashed ROMs multiple times, which do you think is the most stable for Redmi 5? (Whether in Nougat, Oreo or Pie)
stock miui is the most stable by far. as for custom rom resurrection remix is the best IMO as it have much customization (but design is quite outdated). For oreo, lineage os is quite stable i guess but lack of customization as it try to look like stock android rom. I had tried all the pie rom, the only one working is the aex rom but it is much less stable for me, although the battery and temp is good.
I find the official pixel experience oreo Rom to be most stable. Except ir sensor everything works perfect. I find it more smoother and gives better battery backup than than stock rom.
Lineage 15.1 trbale
Most stable with everything working no matter what? Lineage 14.1 Nougat.
99% stable with only minor issues (slow fingerprint if you have Goodix fingerprint reader)? Lineage 15.1 Oreo or one of the new official ROMs like PIxel Experience or AospExtended. The only difference between them is how much you want to customize them, Lineage gives little chance, AExtended is best for that, PE already packs some Gapps so if you want that then its good, but if you don't want Gapps then Lineage.
90+ % stable with chance that you can create it to be what you want? Any of the Pie GSI's (I prefer PE).
It have quick charge 3.0
You use then feel who is best.......!!!!!!!
Has anyone tried the official PE Pie rom? Is it okay for daily use?
Try Pixel Experience on 9.0. It's pretty stable with a good battery backup.
try PE PIE... its best rom ever
just tried caf version
Hey guys, Kenzo have many ported miui nougat roms but how in terms of battery and performance do they differ from stock nougat aka Lineage OS.
In terms of gaming and ram management are they any good ??

Stock nougat for kenzo means Miui official nougat which kenzo never received from xiaomi. :laugh:
Stock nougat in general term means AOSP nougat. Which is also called as stock android which google releases for public as open source.
Lineage OS is not stock. It is custom rom. It is derivative and based on stock android.
Coming to ur last question . yes los nougat is good and fully stable. But its not updated anymore.
everything is working.
But pie is also good and stable. Try latest AospExtended pie which is stable and all stuff is working. Try pubg on it and see.

I have used pie before ( many months back) but the battery drains quickly. So even minimal game playing seemed difficult to maintain if I am travelling.
Also video over lte didn't work then

It depends on health of battery. It may vary for u.
I m getting 5.5 hrs SOT.
I have used both stock as well as ported but i think there are not much difference but there is a little bit.
In stock rom like resurrection remix , lineage os , havock , pixel experience and etc have much good performance but their sound engine in both Oreo as well as pie are not good as compare to miui based rom (stock or ported) and the other things are best like latest os builds. Also camera performance is not better but in pie with Google camera the performance is awesome with portrait mood.
In ported rom Google pay
( tez ) app not working mainly in miui based ported rom. But their sound quality is best as miui use snapdragon plus audio engine.
Now i m using Revolution os which is customised rom of stock miui rom with working Google pay ( tez ) app and with best audio quality also better battery backup and best camera but it is in marshmallow but have all futures which is in naught like split screen etc.

Lol...dont be stupid.
First google and read meaning of Stock rom .
it is preinstalled on phone by OEM such as miui from xiaomi.
On Android One device we have stock android or AOSP which is preinstalled.
It has verified trusted signature. It is secured so all banking apps can work.
As far as sound quality is concerned. Now most of the latest kenzo pie rom like havoc, aex, bootlegger have already added Dirac sound support.
Didnt u enable Mi sound Enhancer in sound settings.?
It is as good as Miui sound.

I am using an unofficial lineage OS 14.1 with Dolby Atmos mod . But somehow the sound still lags behind that of miui.
This edition of lineage gets updated every month with secu patches.
Common problem with custom miui roms I have faced, is that wifi signal reception gets lower. Does not occur in pure android roms

Yes you right they are also uncertified rom thats why they can't run some app like google pay or something like banking apps.
Hey everyone! I'm waiting for my new mi 8 lite to come and I'm wondering if I should flash a custom ROM immediately or not.
I used to have Redmi 3s prime (land) and I faced a few issues with custom ROMS, i.e. huge battery drain (LOS 15.1), camera picture desaturation (LOS 16), unbelievable lags (dot os).
In that device, the most stable ROM among those tried was Havoc OS, but the one I enjoyed most was LOS 16, because it was simple and minimal.
So, is there any platina ROM that has both good battery back up, simplicity and preserves the great camera mi 8 lite has?

Like any miui device if you want the best your camera offers you need miui. Custom miui roms will provide the best compromise. If you want aosp Havoc is available also but the maintainer builds and posts in his limited free time. So builds are a little behind source but for me havoc has what I want in an aosp rom.
There is fully working MIUI Camera port for custom roms. You can try one of many the most popular currently are Aosip and Pixel Experience. Roms are updated fairly regular but all the main notifications and changelogs are in telegram group. So join there if you want to be up to date and also if you need help you will get it faster than here. Btw for me best experience is Xiaomi EU stable rom, its MIUI without ads and bloatware. But its up to you to find what suits you best.
So i got this phone from my cousin who used to use this but it lags like hell and i would like to upgrade it to something better, Wanted Oxygen os but it isnt available on this phone i think. So, i want to know if MIUI 12 can be installed on this phone and if not what other roms would you recommend?
Well I'm pretty sure DotOS 5.x.x is the closest custom rom to miui and is a vailable for a variety of devices.
Otherwise, HavocOS is one of my favourites, BlissOS is good too in terms of customisability.
LineageOS is often the fastest custom rom on devices, though it lacks customisation.
DotOS 5.x looks pretty good. i should do some research on the other ones as well.
I have used LineageOS for android 11 on my galaxy grand prime and while it was good it was also a bit too simplistic for my taste
edit: I dont think 5.x is available for Honor 5x
Well, most roms other than lineage and pure aosp usually are customisable, so give any of those a go. Miui 12 most likely wont be ported, as the last ported version was miui 8, and dotos 5.x probably wont be available either as this device's development is only till android 10 from what I can see.
I am on lineage os 17.1, it looks good, did not see dotos 5.x for honor 5x
