Solely for custom ROMs? Then go for OnePlus. 1000x better rom development. More stable roms and even the stock rom is great. It's not adware or spyware like miui. For poco none of the custom ROMs have good gaming capabilities. For gaming, one has to stick with miui.

[Q] Time to think beyond stock?

Ive been using stock roms from the time i got my kenzo. Stock roms are great and so much feature rich. The recent launch of MiUi 10 has many interesting features and it has made me think if I should go back to MiUi just for the visual experience. I mean user experience is also important right. What do you guys feel?
Quite a subjective question. I only use miui like a week. I don't the visuals nor the amount of crapware it has.

Agree, few like MIUI and few like me hate it from the core of the heart. I kept my phone in drawer for 14 days until I was able to unlock the bootloader. I can't stand MIUI, I can still use buggy AOSP rom instead of stable MIUI.

Miui gives u good features. Good camera quality, audio experience, battery life too. It also has inbuilt call recorder. But it has stock gapps which u may not use all and consider it as unnecessary bloat.
Even if it has so many features people mostly prefer higher android version and go with custom roms. Coz it has better performance, security and new innovative features and much improved core structure.
As mentioned before, I've never seen anyone neutral about miui. This ROM is made and optimized for xiaomi devices and there are many features only miui can give compared to others. The convenience and the visual experience, the smoothness of miui kept me going back to it again and again - Epic ROM Miui9 was the best build I've tried and used for a 6-8 months. Now I use oreo RR, because this is now on a level to compete user experience with miui... I mean this was... before miui 10.
Now I really hope that both, android P and miui 10 will be ported to this device, and I can try both before decide. I love my oreo setup now, but this is getting boring after months of use...

Its the same thing with me.. Oreo setup with AEx rom is cool bt its getting boring now and all stock roms have more or less the same features. Miui 10 videos are too tempting to give a try wen its out.

Daily Driver Custom Rom?

Hi Guys!
After one year on MIUI I think I'm ready to switch to a custom ROM on my Pocophone.
My top priorities for a ROM are: Stability, Battery Life and Security. I do not need any particular features since I do not play on the phone, just normal Email/browsing/youtube usage.
I read that at the moment the 2 most complete and reliable ROMs are LineageOS and PixelExperience, I know that the evaluation is always subjective but what would be the best ROM to go considering my needs?
Thanks a lot!
I use crDroid
I use omni for the best stability
Crdroid!
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions given so far! =)
Hassle free. Go Pixel Experience. Im on it. Using it with no problem.

Try CrDroid and Havoc (22Aug19 build) ONCE, and You won't go back to PE ; ever!
Thanks a lot guys! I've decided to try PE first and so far I'm very pleased with it, Slick, simple and without too many whistles!
Thanks to everyone =)
Same dilemma as yours

So I just got a new Poco F1 and have the exact same confusion.
I am a student and work part time as well. So I need reliability here.
PE 9.0 and PE Plus both are listed are stable but how has your experience been?
Have you tried Cdroid yet?

So, after a few weeks on PE I can say that the experience is quite pleasant, the rom is slick and with just the minimal selection of tool you might need everyday.
Concerning stability, the ROM is generally stable and fast, however it is not a rock-solid experience like MIUI (from time to time you stumble on some bugs/crashing apps).
Battery life is ok (worse than MIUI out of the box) but tweaking the apps restrictions and battery optimization it becomes just as good as the original ROM.
So the bottom line is IMHO:
-If you're looking for stability and a seamless experience, go with MIUI (11 is also coming out now) and maybe get google camera.
-If you are interestend in a slick ROM with minimal tools and you can afford to reboot/wipe the cache from time to time, than PE can be used as daily driver without any issue.
Cheers!
+1 for crDroid, its quite similar to PE, but has some nice customisation on it. Gcam works fine on it too. I'm on the latest 9.0 build, going to wait a whilte before jumping to crDroid 6 / android 10
PE has way to much of google apps. Cr and other are also good choises. If you can get any rom working with microg only you would have awesome device

MIUI GSI

Hey guys, I found this
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/MIUI/
Do you think this images could work on our device?
Why did you get a mi a3 if you wanted miui? Redmi note 7 or mi 9cc have miui.
And why would you actually want memeui on your device in the first place.
Better to stick with something with little bloat

Because of the features, I know some people who prefer MIUI over stock because of some of the features that it provide. There are people who likes the MIUI look than the stock look. I know people who really adore the so called "bloatware". Also MIUI used to provide better battery life than stock android back in the day, but I don't know how's that situation right now.
That should explain your "Why?" concern

And so ..... Will it work or not? Because your answer does not solve the question at all. I'm glad you're happy with Android stock, but there are other people who want to try MIUI (by the way, calling it MEMEUI wasn't funny the first time, so you can end calling it that way) so just let other people do whatever they want without judging them..
Stock android is really boring compared to miui. I always root so adverts are not a problem. Miui has matured into a very good rom, which useful features & battery life. I wanted to give android one a try, but so far not impressed. I am sure its the same way many others feel too. You can move from miui to aosp (treble) but cant move from Android One to Miui, which makes me admit that Miui phone is even a superior choice.

For me stock android is the best rom ever, i really don't care about bullshits that xiaomi call features ? The faster rom have one name : Stock Android

Good custom rom for a3 ?

joke what xiaomi does. deliberately bought a3 because i like stock android. but it doesn't take months to release the promised update, and after the buggy wastes the software. so there is nothing more than a custom rom.
So what the best android 10 based custom rom ?
There is no best ROM it is completely subjective. It depends what you want and what you like.
If there was one 'best rom' than no other ROM would exist because what's the point.
You have to try to see what is right for you.
That's like saying what is the best car in the world you will get a lot of different answers because people have different tastes.
What exactly are you looking for? Battery life? Performance? In between? A lot of customisation? There are many things to consider
I have tested all roms. Syberia is best

Question Suggest me best custom ROM?

Pixel OS vs Pixel Experience+ vs Pixel Plus Ui or more. Which ROM has better performance and battery backup??

AFAIK, pixel plus ui for mojito is dead. LineageOS is besto rn
I didnt try recent updates of Lineage but it seems very good when i try it a couple months ago. Pixel Os very good but have Safety Net issues as Pixel Experience, already fixed in Feb update but not available yet. Arrow Os is clean af, not having the safety net issue and only bug that i could think of is PUBG force closing but nobody knows anything about Feb update yet. YAAP and Statix Os are good too, Statix already with Feb update and safety net working fine. All of them except Pixel Experience share the same group of devs, so are very good roms indeed and use Neternels kernel which in my opinion is the best. Im on Pixel Experience with Neternels kernel right now waiting for the Feb update on any of those roms to switch and stay hopefully.

miui is best rom for people who can't try roms and create their own opinion about them
now , of course... the correct question may be... Which ROM do you people recommend? and users can reply with their favorite ROM...
but nah... laziness first Which is the Best ROM of all universe ??
and is extremely tiring finding this question everywhere every 10 minutes
and also making VS like this is a fight to dead... Just use whatever you want dude

Yeah thats right. The only thing that is bugging me about miui is the ram management, i didnt have any serious bug while using it. Trying to find best rom is tiring too, sooo, is you dont have any bugs and want every app working without problems stock is king. If not custom roms are always a better choice than miui.

apart from ram ... miui is soooo damn laggy
it's imposible to use! the most long i stayed on miui was 10 minutes!
and yeah you're totally true... finding a perfect rom is tiring... a lot of clean flash and time spent on testing
so at the end i choose lineage... (not only self promotion) just i want something simple to use rather than thousand of customizations.
Custom ROMs are a must on a Xiaomi Device

Yeah the performance is kinda random, some days is fine and the others day lagging af. I found that the miui version worth using is the factory one, works like a charm compared to updates but is outdated as hell. The thing i miss the most is the speakers sound quality, always trying to come back but i cannot stay there for more than a day now haha. Your rom is very good, i havent tried the recent updates but was the first i installed for mojito where Summoners Wars worked without any problems

There is NO BEST ROM.
It depends on what "you" want.
If you mean the most stable, then stock, as @alonsoj636 said.

I actually said it as a joke.
MIUI is the worst ROM ever
unstable , buggy and laggy AF
but can be good for people who can't make their own opinion about roms and keep asking for the best hehe

Thats right. If he wants to use MIUI i recommend the first rom for his model. In global is 12.0.2, fast (compared with other versions, gaming is stable. Ram management the same sadly. Cons is android 11 and outdated security patch, idk how much troublesome could that be from a normal user security perspective.

people which do not know much about technology do not care too much as i saw phones of family and friends with 1-5 years outdated security patch and with sensitive information but they do not care too much.
me as a cyber-security maniac i'm always looking the latest security patch and best security tips so using old miui is a hell no for me (miui is a spyware/adware by itself)
