Hi everyone! My father has bought a new phone so he will be giving his note 4 to me(Snapdragon). I don't like MIUI and especially when it's on a old phone. In that case AOSP ROMs are best.
Currently, i am using Le2 which is close to specs of redmi note 4 but the ROM development of this phone is bad. I am using lineage os 16.0 on my le 2 and it gives only 3-4 hrs SOT, huge network drops, performance is fine. Before it, I was on LeMax 2 and it was good but battery was not that good. Yeah, I am degrading on hardware but I am excited for redmi. Their ROMs are always good.
Redmi has good development support.
I am looking for a ROM that will be stable. Also should I flash android 10 ROM now or should I wait?
TLR; Which ROM should I flash that will give me best of this phone? Both battery wise and performance wise.
From my point of view, the best is the pixel experience. It has a very good performance, an excellent battery consumption and the rom is very clean, it has no blotware. Try it will not disappoint you.

Thanks for suggestions. Can you please tell me Which one? Pie or android 10? And if you don't mind can you please do a short review of how your experience was. I checked android 10 thread of PE I found out there are features missing like nav bar and gesture bar.

If you want the most stable one then go with pie
If you want a beta one and Android 10 features like gestures then go with 10 - the back gesture doesn't work in all Android Roms till now -
And another thing is , don't go with pixel experience..
Try resurrection remix , it's got the same ui as stock Android and pixel experience and all it's features plus a whooooooooole lot of customization options available , you can tinker around the settings for an hour every day for a month and you wouldn't be done
tldr/ try resurrection remix it's the best

The battery on my Redmi Note 2 is going funny so might use the opportunity to upgrade. Asking some questions might help me and others decide if Note 4X is worth upgrading.
What is SOT like? does the Note 4X suffer from same battery drain as Note 2?
Any battery failures to date?
Build quality good?
Xiaomi.eu rom a good choice? (I quite like MIUI)
Will there be an official Lineage OS ROM? and good selection of roms?
Any major or minor issues I should know about?
Is a Redmi Note 5 expected any time soon?

SOT is like 10hrs+ on Miui and I'm using Custom roms, getting almost same battery. On LTE only, I used to browse + Telegram.
None
Yep, indeed, and has 2.5d glass as well.
Yes. I hate Miui too and I'm using Custom at the moment. Xiaomi eu is also good choice.
Yes, we'll get official Los and currently there are tons of Roms available. RR /AEX / PA / OMNI etc etc..
Apparently i heard about dead pixels on some devices, solution is to visit a nearby SC and get yo screen replaced.
That's gonna 2018. Not now, I guess.
Hi buddies!
My 3 last smartphones were Samsung ones (A5/2016, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8) and now I'm thinking of trying something different.
I have nothing to complain about my Galaxy S8, but let's say that I'm tired of it.
I use the smartphone mainly for for social media and taking pictures, so, the camera is the more important feature for me.
Thinking of a new smartphone, I have Xiaomi Mi 8 and OnePlus 6T in mind.
I had in my hands the Mi A1 and Mi A2, but never used one with MIUI.
How about the screen quality? Will I notice too much difference switching back from 1440p to 1080p?
Is Mi 8 camera better than Galaxy S8's?
What you guys have to say about this deal?
No, you won't notice the difference between 1440 and 1080. Screen is excellent but s8 screen is a little brighter. Nevertheless xiaomi developer team is really really slooooow don't expect to be up to date with Android releases. I mean I am running 8.1 on mi8 (flagship) while the S7 is already on Pie.

Xiaomi updates every week ONLY Beta Builds. S7 has PI look it up I can show you some picture later. Please stop confusing people glorifying xiaomi dev team.

Most of Xiaomi users even don't know what is MIUI Beta/Weekly and the Global Stable ROM is very slow to update.
I had the S8 and made the change to Mi 8.
At first, running the Global stable rom, i was kinda let down. Hdr didn't work, camera was not good and headphone audio volume was low.
Then i installed the Global beta rom (based on pie). All the above problems were fixed, the camera if you want to install the bsg Gcam is Amazing. Stock is good too but Gcam is miles ahead. The norch support is improved, you can now get notifications on status bar.
The mi 8 is snappier ( touchwiz is laggy).Battery on this thing is really good (geting 7h SOT on miui). The Mi 8's screen is a downgrade but not as big as i first thought. I played many videos side by side and could notice "blacker" blacks on the S8.
My opinion is to go with mi 8 if you want to install a custom rom, to make it pixel-like or AOSP in general.
Imho even a Redmi note 6 pro would be a massive upgrade from any Samsung device.
Can't stand their roms and bloatware. Great hardware but awful software.

S7 has Pie only on custom Roms! Mostly on crappy AOSP Rom's where the battery life and camera quality is really bad.
Mi 8 and also Poco has Pie on official Beta from vendor. Even the S9 didn't have a official beta from Vendor with Pie (as far i know, but don't keep an eye on S9 dev).
Please keep the facts! Has nothing to do with glorifying someone.

No. You are confusing them. S7 has no official OTA pie update. S9 does not have stabel OTA pie. Infact, both Xiaomi and Samsung are really slow.

In principle, I advise you against it,
I have Mi8 it is very good phone at an excellent price, I moved from Galaxy Note 4
Mi8 battery life is great, usually I get +7 hours of SOT, and sometimes I reach 48 hours of use on one charge.
display is great, colors and brightness
I don't play games on it but the performance is smooth in general
the design and dimensions are very good also
the finger print sensor is fast , convenient and well placed.
charging is faster than Samsung's
I have used Samsung's software for years and I like, but you can easily get used to MIUI.
the stock camera software is not that good, but you can use a Gcam port like I do.
I have one complain about the Mi8 which is the speaker loudness, it is nearly inaudible if compared to my previous Note 4.
if you "need" a new phone immediately it will be a very good choice at a budget.
If you are looking for an upgrade from the S8, I think you Mi 8 is not a suitable one, neither the OP6T, especially with that in-display slow andn insecure finger print sensor.
I explained my reasons here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/love-mi-8-t3876024.

You will notice the difference in sound quality if you have an In-ear monitor (IEM) like KZ ZSN.
but price wise, and performance yeah I will definitely choose Mi8. will just need to unlock and tweak the audio. cheers
I've done it myself and I can say that I love the MI8 for its overall performance and MIUI10 which is to me so far the best Android experience. I do miss some stuff tough like the wireless charging and IP68 certification which was really nice to have. But I don't regret my purchase.

Just upgrade to miui 10 pie and see difference
Based on Dxo after update mi 8 score same as mi mix3 [103]
I used s8 plus and mi 8 camera side by side and mi 8 camera so better than s8 in Photo .
I have my note 5 running pixel experience and it's working well. My gf has an old iPhone 6 and she needs an upgrade. Is it worth it to just get us both povos and flash PE on them?
As good as Pixel Experience is it's still early days for that ROM on the Poco. The stock MIUI ROM still runs better and faster than Pixel Experience (MIUI is no slouch and gets 300 thousand in Antutu where Pixel Experience is 50 thousand points slower) I would just buy the phone and wait if you really want Pixel Experience ROM

It shouldn't be long till they have official release and the stable PE should be at the same level. IMO AnTuTu scores aren't everything. Miui is too complicated for my gf and I don't want mi cloud or the spying.
POCO is worth it still or wait 6months for f2?

The F2 is just going to be a refresh of a F1 but with a bigger screen and better cameras but still keep the same SOC. You are right Antutu scores are not everything but they are a good indication. You don't have to have Mi Cloud (I don't) and it really depends on where you are in the world or how much you believe Xiaomi are spying on you. All phones spy on you to some degree

I just hated the notifications on miui(that's why I put custom rom on RN5) , now I hear the notification animations disappear on the status bar and such(they don't replace the clock) . It's just super bloated.

If the phone is setup right then that shouldn't really bother anyone but it does for some reason.
I am pretty happy with PE in my poco. I came from Samsung J5 (2015) so i most be not that sensitive because I didn't notice any differences from miui for daily performance. The phone is bloody fast and responsive so I would say go for it for sure...

They promise too much with this phone and we are constantly told to wait for basic features. Let's just say we were promised dolby and qhd 60fps back in September still nothing.
Dolby soon
Netflix HD soon
Qhd 60 fps soon
1080p 60 fps soon
Best you wait for a version 2. Too many issues currently.
I wish I went for the oneplus 6 it's eis is perfect, not kidding it's 99% stabilizated you can see videos yourself VS this wobbly mess.
Currently there are 2 main problems on the custom roms, the EIS for Google camera doesn't work and once you watch a video in HDR your phone will be stuck in HDR mode until you restart it.

It is official.
For Netflix you can install a modded version and have HD...
For videos you can use ported MIUI camera.
I would say go for it, worst case scenario, you sell your phone later and buy the F2, best case scenario you will see people just like to complain, for its price its so good.
Happy costumer here...

PE rom for poco says "unofficial", lineage os 16 also is unofficial. In my whyred PE says official in title.
I just got pissed cuz poco came out like 3 weeks after I bought my redmi note 5, and I'd forsure have gotten it had it been out then.

Cool that's excellent man
I saw a great deal and pulled the trigger! Bought a POCO for 267$ off someone that kept if for a couple weeks. It's in perfect condition and bootloader unlocked. I flashed twrp and pixel experience?
I am currently running pixel expierence rom but I saw Lineage Os is official released . But I also heard about xiaomi.eu all sound pretty good. What's your favourite and can you write some things why you use this rom ?
I learned to love the app gestures with the one bar.
On my Nexus 6 custom roms I loved the long press for torch feature.
Although every customisation feature is welcome
Thx
sounds like the story of most of us here
I tried eu miui 10 pie, miui pro 9.1.24, and oxygen os port 9.04.......if they fixed 3.5 mm audio output and Fm radio in the oxygen os port it will be the best but so far miuipro is best for me overall!
try crDroid
Hmmm. Ive heard that the best one today is OOS ..oxygen os. Ive read most of the oos users claim that its a very smooth gaming rom.. and im planning to try that one of these days..
Btw.. i dont give much time on any roms aesthetically. As long as its smooth in gaming.. it definitely suits my taste..
Even though Pocophone F1 has official Android 10, its rather an old MIUI 11, which is slow and buggy compared to latest MIUI builds.
Looking at Poco X2/K30 videos on YouTube, the newer MIUI looks much smoother and optimized, when compared to F1, apps opened quicker even though processor of X2 is weaker (730g or 765g vs 845)
Given F1's age (and current situation due to pandemic that slow down businesses), it may be unlikely we get any updates from Xiaomi other than security patch. So it would be great to have the MIUI ports from X2/K30 into F1.
There are many AOSP/stock like ROMs out there which are excellent, but they don't provide certain useful features MIUI provide.
lmao, port rom will be more buggy.
Enjoy ur phone or buy google pixel
Why pixel? You could just use gsi roms and have a phone with headphone jack. But again the useful features of miui will be missing. Miui 12 will probably not come for f1
Why don't you just flash and Use MIUI based Roms like revolutionOS or Mi Room?

This is actually a great idea cause Poco's miui is the most unstable one right now
Even the android Q custom roms are buggy
Q is horribly buggy... my experience with POCO MIUI Q is bad SOTs, Poco Launcher lag, Heating up!
Looks like every corporate is the same
The official Miui 11 for pocophone F1 is bad indeed. Anything after 10.3.8.0 has been buggy and unusable for daily use, and get poor battery life.
It look like Xiaomi didn't release any miui beta roms for poco f1. Other phones of 2018 using sd845 (such as mi9) got 20.x.x beta ROMs which seem to include upcoming features from miui 12.
This most likely means we don't get any feature updates, only security patch. However, poco x2 from this year will get miui 12 so it would be great idea to get port from it.

It still has bluetooth problems in PC fan or rgb controlling apps and many more
And the /system is read only
And these are on every custom rom and android Q
I guess it's google's fault
If they aren't gonna fix this it means that Pie is the most stable and full android out there
I'm a total noob at porting, once tried porting Mi8's rom to Poco F1. Sound wasn't working and I gave up. And Mi8 is the closest thing to F1 honestly. Try the ported Q Roms in Telegram, way better than stock miui in Poco. I'll try investigating about porting X2 to F1 though, if anyone wants to help, I'm welcome. I still don't understand vendor/firmware and stuff like that.
