Currently, I'm using DotOS 3.0 but I want to roll back on semi-official Android 8. Before that, I used Boombox rom but the latest 1.3 version does not support 128 GB cards and the rom in general was abandoned.
So, any decent stock-based custom ROMs?
If u OK with GSM only, Artificial Intelligence System (AIS) is Oreo based customized stock rom from Russia is good. No other updated stock based rom exists. WETA is on AFH but really old, on Oreo

I didn't like that, there are too many apps and stuff that I will never use.
I guess I roll back on official Android 9 and root it.
Thanks

All the stock-based custom ROMs (Boombox, AIS, WETA) are based on early Oreo firmware, for instance with no DTS 3D stereo capability which came in 2019.
I'm on latest Oreo with Magisk and Xposed mods for the customization I want. EdXPosed version of Xposed passes Safety Net if you care about that. There's EdXPosed version of Gravity Box which has all the options of a custom ROM. Most work even though you are still running LG firmware. Some do not because you are running LG firmware.

Eh. It's still in dev.
There are recovery flashable zips [update using updater app] available, if you flash them, you'll loose data.
I didn't updated mine too, I'm still with 6.0.1, it's the stable one for me.
I don't wanna update to Nougat based Miui as I got my device unlocked earlier today, I'll be flashing Custom Roms. Will ditch Miui. :silly:
I suggest you to just stick with 6.0.1 based Miui rom, it's the stable one, as far as I know, Nougat based Miui Roms are in dev, so once you flash em you'll loose data + it'll be difficult to revert to stable versions.
So stick with 6.0.1, otherwise get your phone unlocked, flash custom ROMs.
Or wait for stable Miui [Nougat based] release.

Thanks for your suggestions i will stick on it. I wanted it because on additional setting / Region there is not listed my Country nor United States. I thought update will solves that.

Hi, I'm sorry if this question is asked way too frequently, but the thing is, when I bought the redmi note 3 over a year ago, I had planned to install a near stock Android ROM. But after searching for a good ROM, I found that none of the AOSP ROMs back then supported VOLTE, which I absolutely require for Jio. Even now when I search for marshmallow ROMs, most of them either don't support VOLTE or have some other bugs like dual SIM not working which makes those ROMs unfit for daily use. The reason I don't want to use Nougat is because of xposed unavailability. Is there stable 100% bug-free near stock android marshmallow ROM for redmi note 3? I would appreciate if people would recommend me a good ROM ONLY if they have personally tested & confirmed that the ROM is indeed 100% bug-free & VOLTE works. I don't want to flash a ROM, then find out it has bugs, then move back again to MiUI. If there is no such ROM, then I'll just continue using MiUI. Thanks.

I've been using this rom for months now and it's great! Security patches are still being updated every month.

Hello, I have just bought a Mi Pad 4; when it arrived, I immediately requested bootloader unlock and now i am waiting (290 hours left)...
In the meanwhile, I was searching which rom could I install for this device, I am an italian user so i was thinking to install stable MIUI 10 from MIUI.it, instead of the stable from xiaomi.eu because it is surely well translated and it is smaller then the EU rom, but I did not understand the bootloader and recovery thing.
Apparently if I install xiaomi.eu rom with their TWRP, i will also install a custom bootloader that could lead to problems if i want to install MIUI.it rom afterwards, so my question is if there are there problems with the stable MIUI10 of MIUI.it + MIUI.it TWRP, is it stable enough for daily use or it's better the xiaomi.eu version + their TWRP?
I recommend 8.1 based Mokee rom.
That's the most stable at the moment for me, far better than MIUI based roms.

Thank you for the advice, but for now I am appreciating a lot the MIUI 10 interface and its usability, so I would like to use this for now, but in the future I will surely try Mokee rom
I have found the answer for my questions: when I install the italian MIUI, if i encounter problems with it, i can switch to xiaomi.eu flashing the stock chinese stable rom with the tool called MiFlash, after that I can install xiaomi.eu rom with TWRP;
but if i want to install an AOSP rom, I can install it over every MIUI version obviously wiping data, cache and dalvik-cache of the previous rom through TWRP.
Another italian here guys...if you want I tried the HavocOS (it's the only one that has "official" support like Mokee, it's Android Pie with some custom settings) and except for navbar gestures that didn't work in landscape I didn't find any bug!

Yes, I have also seen this ROM and the reviews under the post are good, anyway for now I will install the MIUI 10 of MIUI.it (some other day and the bootloader will be unlocked), then surely I will try also some rom AOSP-based in the future
Sorry if this has been asked but I looked through and didn't see any LG based PIE ROMS.
Are there any about?
I've tried all the usual PIE ROMS (Lineage, DOT, HAVOC etc). Just fancy trying an LG Based Custom ROM without going back to complete stock.
Thanks,
Ross

Well, first LG has to release Pie. I'm only half-joking.
EU H930 30a failed as Release Candidate and EU H93030b became the first official EU H930 Pie release for that variant. Then H930 30b was pulled from LG's servers due to RAM management complaints. A new, improved version supposedly released among Korean carrier variants. Australia H930DS got Pie less than a month ago, but don't think it's new, improved one. No North American variants have received Pie yet.
So, everyone is sort of in limbo.
Back during early Nougat and early Oreo there were a couple of stock-based ROMs. WETA US998 ROM by @Mentalmuso and BOOMBOX by @Whiskeyomega (which achieved cult status with audiophiles). Both departed the scene about a year ago. WETA Nougat was a favorite of many, but the Oreo version was never really finished. Link was posted unofficially just to show progress, but dev then said he was moving on to other things. Boombox Oreo was never updated past August 2018 -- whereas in the 12 months since then LG has given us DTS 3D stereo libs in stock Oreo updates and major camera improvements.

COMMENTARY
Stock ROMs are few and far between for two reasons:
1) unlike the old days, current LG firmware doesn't need much improvement (at least Oreo). It's very stable, fast, fluid. Great battery life.
Don't like the look?
Install Nova launcher with cube rotation, your choice of icon packs, your own wallpaper.
Want some mods?
* Install Anxious V30 Magisk mod. (Still for Oreo right now. The dev may develop for Pie when it's ever released for her North American carrier. I'm still on stock, rooted Oreo so that's perfectly fine.)
Enables:
All Lockscreen Weather Animations, Anxious Kernel Script, Custom/V50 App Profiles, DTS:X 3D Surround, Dual Speaker for North American Variants, Falsified Advanced DAC Mode (a.k.a. Forced HIM, but well done), G7/V40/V50 Camera Features (Updated Camera App, Updated Gallery App, Google Lens, Super Bright Mode, Updated AI & Filter Data), Google Phone (stable), Google Sans, JoyPixels 5.0, LG Equalizer Settings (w/ Custom EQ), Pixel Roboto & Various Other Fonts, Pixel WiFi Mod, Razer Phone 2 Nova Launcher, US GPS Config, YouTube Vanced (Black);

Think there's some bloatware you don't need?
Install Titanium Backup, and freeze whatever you don't like. (US998 has almost no bloatware to begin with. I froze Twitter and maybe one other app.)
2) Because of #1, most devs don't like to spend time on stock ROMs. @Whiskeyomega developed some audio mods (which he posted as standalone mods in Themes/Apps section), and then his Boombox ROM was mostly giving users their choice of which audio mods to install (which anyone could themselves on stock from this standalone mods) and some other tweaks/debloating. It was basically his personal version of stock ROM, which anyone can do themselves. See point #1 again and all the stuff you can do yourself, which includes audio mods.
MOST devs who create full blown ROMs want to do BIGGER things than merely tweak/debloat already-debloated stock firmware. So, they go to AOSP/Lineage ROMs. (I'm not including public service ROMs like the stock-based TWRP flashable zips. Those have some build prop tweaks, but are mainly KDZ rebuilt as a ROM -- which we all APPRECIATE GREATLY!)
Once stock Pie is released widely, most ROM devs will move on to Android 10 (Q) ROMs. Because they will want to do something not yet done.

Suppose that all makes sense.
I'm currently running Lineage and have no complaints...
I just sort of fancied trying the LG software again if it was out for PIE and someone may have had a rooted ROM that allows changing the navigation, status bar etc

I'm running rooted stock firmware with no complaints. I changed status bar icons with Xposed mods (including Gravity Box and Xstana), I'm running Nova launcher with my choice of icons, Anxious V30 mod and other stuff.
Agreed, mod rom can be replace by xposed and stuff. What we lack is a back port rom from newer model like v50. (Like what we see on older s series have backport rom from newe one)
Hi all,
I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got that specific ROM on my device.
I was wondering are there maybe other ROMS for this device? Like the one's mentioned in the article below?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/best-custom-rom-huawei-p20-lite/
It took me a long while to get everything running on this device, Magisk and EdXposed. So I just don't want to go and wipe my OS just to try 4 ROMS that does not work. Sure you have app backup for that but it would mean doing everything over almost on the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I am rather new to custom ROMS so please bear with me!

There is nothing like perfect Custom ROM. It is highly dependent upon the requirement of the user and his likes/dislikes. Every ROM has its importance and downsides. You can try flashing multiple ROMs to find the ROM which is suitable and best for you. There is no Custom ROM that is 100% bug free (it depends, among other things, on model, FW built number etc. etc.).
If you don’t prefer EMUI,* choose Havoc OS , AOSP Extended or LineageOS.
If you "hate" Google and Google's bloatware (like me ) only, you can simply rebrand your phone to chinese Nova 3e (among other things, better battery life, lower data consumption etc.)
Or, choose Custom ROM based on Stock with KangVip settings ( to get away from GAPPS) , stable enough to be used as your daily driver.
Availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.

Hi,
No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying:
Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying to get EdXposed to run. So yeah I took me a while to get it working.

AB or A-only depend on EMUI version : 9.1 = AB, 8.0 = A-only.

Don't bother trying any one of those ROMs listed in that post. I wasted a whole day trying to flash a ROM specified by that website. Look specifically for ROMs on XDA website.
I get more help here, and it has been tested already on our devices.
