Good custom rom for a3 ? - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

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

Is there any custom ROM like Pixel Experience?

Hello guys. I'm really looking to change my device, I want a clean Android experience and good battery life. So far the best I could think of is a Redmi 5 Plus and flash a custom ROM. OnePlus 6 is too far off my budget and the Nokia phones don't have the LTE bands that I need, so I guess I'll have to settle for something like this Redmi and flash a ROM.
So I wanna know, is there any Pixel like ROM? Like barebones AOSP, I don't want Lineage or RR, with all of their settings and custom stuff. Just plain Android.
I just flashed AOSP extended to vince. I have been using aosp extended on redmi note 4 for 8-9 months, first nougat then oreo versions. I also don't like so many "custom features", they make me feel like the phone is full of bloatware when there are so many of them. I was a nexus user before.
What I want to say is that give AEX e try. It's pretty consistent and has good features I use. However it's not pure aosp, "Extended". It still has many features that may look unnecessary. I think it's tolerable. I say give it a try.
Edit: Oh, I just realized you consider to buy this phone. I also just bought it today. It's great choice for low budget. Ofcourse, development side is very important since I don't think miui is usable or any other ui except pure android. Compared to Redmi Note 4 (my previous device), it's clear that redmi note 4's forum is more active and bigger. Still, you can find some "pure" android for your taste. If you ask me I'm think I made the right choice by buying this one and also redmi note 4.

[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.

Best custom rom july 2019

Sory to say brothers i am using after a long time plz suggest me a most stable and nowadays bugless rom ...with smooth battery backup which u have tested .....
? Stop asking for the best ROM (for battery, for performance or any other criteria), it doesn't exist. If there was one true best ROM, do you think there would be other ROMs?
? There is only subjectively best and that's different for everyone. Everyone has different usage patterns and preferences, so when asking for the best, you get the best for them, not the best for you. The only way you'll find the best one for you is by trying them yourself. They're all free, anyway.
? Also, keep in mind that the devs are not competing against each other and they're not trying to win you over or anything. They all have different design goals, they're not trying to be better than one another. They're just trying to be different. Asking for the best is quite disrespectful towards the devs.
nothing is best my friend. still, you can try any rom with VIMB kernel for better performance!

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.

New to Huawei P20 Lite (Anne) phone, not to flashing ROMs and/or rooting. Need advice.

Hi all! Hope I'm posting in the correct section...
I recently acquired a Huawei P20 Lite, coming from a Moto G 4G (Peregrine), so I'm not new to flashing custom ROMs. After reading a lot of threads from different projects; AOSP Phh Treble, Pixel Experience, Pixel Experience Plus and Phenix kernel caught my eye.
From what I've read any one of those ROMs and the kernel are stable enough to be used as a daily driver, and Android 11 is mature enough, hence I'm not too concerned about bugs; though I'm aware there might be a problem with Phenix kernel and my current EMUI version, 9.1.0.355(C605E4R1P3).
My main concerns are performance, of course, and battery life, which is why I'd like to ask for your advice on an easy way to benchmark those different ROMs on my phone. The reason being that I spend a lot of time on the go and don't have too much time to flash a new ROM to test, I need something that lets me test and benchmark battery and performance in a few minutes so I can spend a couple of hours, at most, flashing ROMs.
I'd also appreciate any opinion from someone who have tested the aforementioned projects. I'm aware there are different models and they don't always behave exactly the same. For that matter, my phone specs are:
Device: Huawei P20 Lite
Model: ANE-LX3
Build number: 9.1.0.355(C605E4R1P3)
Hardware version: HL3ANNEM
Custom version: CUSTC605D1
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi!
Just a few factual notes:
In fact, it's not Android 11, only system image based on A 11 .
All GSI Treble ROMs that are compatible with P20 are AOSP based on 'phhusson' sources, so the difference in performance, battery life, etc. is minimal.
All GSI ROMs have some common bugs - signal level indicator, offline charging, VoLTE, native callrecording. If you like to take pictures, you will be disappointed with the GSI camera...
Sadly the availability of Custom ROMs for Kirin devices is limited.
The basic requirement is, of course, an unlocked bootloader.

@alf Thanks for the reply and the clarifications.
I've already unlocked the bootloader using PotatoNV, was just curious about the existence of a tool to benchmark performance as well as battery, guess such a tool doesn't exist yet... asking for too much...
The bugs you mentioned are not really an issue for me, no problem there; GSI camera can be easily replaced by another app and taking photos is not the primary use I give to a communication device, so no problem either.
And yes, sadly Huawei became kind of a pariah in the tech industry and development stopped.
And since they are all very similar, what is your favourite feature wise? as this would apparently be the deciding factor. And, based on my specs, do you think there would be a problem flashing Phenix kernel after flashing any of this ROMs? or should I downgrade first to be on the safe side?

I'm not sure I fully understand your question...
Personally, I would give most points to the PixelExperience Plus.
As for Phenix, I have little experience with it.

@alf Meant which one you preferred in terms of features (more and/or better). I see your personal favorite is Pixel Experience Plus. Gonna go with that and if I find something weird, I know where to ask.
Thank you again!
