So I'll be getting my phone back from mi care after repair and they said everything will be wiped and the miui will be rolled back to default miui 9.6 as it was shipped. I mainly use my poco to play Pubg and the latest 10.3 miui was having a lot of bugs and the game was simply unplayable, now that I can go to 10.2 again, I just want to know if I can directly install miui 10.2.2 from the official recovery rom I found...Can I install it without unlocking the bootloader, from the mi updater settings, jumping from 8.1 oreo to miui 10.2.2? Is it completely fine or can it cause any damage? This is my first post ever and some help will be much much appreciated.

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.
hi,
I have a RN3 SD running MIUI 8 Global Stable.
Lately I have been experiencing a lot of battery drain after the latest update of MIUI 8 to 8.0.5.0.
Is anyone else facing a similar issue ... if so ... is there any way to get around this, other than waiting for another update from xiaomi.
Thank you
If you don't want to downgrade to previous version, I'd suggest you to wait for another update. I'm facing similar issue, but it's not that intense.
yes me too. plan to flash to CM14
Which of the Android 6 or 7.1 ROMs are more stable with less bugs as I have seen after the usage of nearly 25-30 days almost all ROMs starts hanging.
Please also share which of these ROMs is more feature rich and good battery life?
Currently I am on Pure Nexus Rom.
Regards
It is amazing to find that none of the members replied to the above question....?
Howcome?
Anyways, pls also tell how can we install a new rom in place of Pure Nexus which has magisk installed.
Do I have to uninstall magisk first and then wipe the rom or just wipe the device, data, internal and flash the new ROM along with latest magisk 13.1?
I am using AEX (before LOS) for 2 months and runs very well.
No drain battery, wifi, reboot or something.
Works better than 5.1 ROM of motorola stock.
Try 4.5 (latest) of AEX ROM
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.
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.
