Good OSS Roms for Mi A3 - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hello, actually I use crdroid on mi a3, due to many bugs im seeking for another better rom.
Unfortunately, as I was reading we have few roms getting updated(and lineage is dead), but almost every rom developers starting to force gapps preinstalled, so if anyone have seen any MiA3 rom without google spyware please reply here. Seems that only crdroid keeps full clean, and its bad for community be forced to use proprietary software.

Try bliss it doesn't have gapps

Out of curiosity what bugs did you notice, since i also have CrDroid 6.9 installed and so far have no issues?

Siberia has no gapps. It comes with anx cam, which I replaced with stock cam.

what are the all options with oss? i only know bliss and evox

"Gapps already inside. (prebuilt with ROM)"

miui 12 have much option and features and you can choose cn or eu but for good battery usage try stock rom or CrDroid.
but by working on miui 12, you can get better results.

ROM recommendation please

Before someone comments that I should try a few by myself and choose myself, hear me out. I'm installing this on my mom's phone, and replacing MIUI because its getting really laggy. I use a different phone so here looking for recommendation. Should be stable with frequent updates. Thanks a lot guys in advance.
i dont think installing custom rom on "mom's phone" is a good idea -_-
BTW, miui is not laggy (seriously, how can u say that miui is laggy??)
if you're getting trouble with miui, factory reset the phone, or fastboot flash latest miui stable rom.
better not to experiment parent's phone with custom roms
here is some recommendation (as u asked for it)
1. Nitrogen OS ( Based on Nougat, for great battery backup )
2. Resurrection Remix ( Based on both Marshmallow & Nougat, for better customization)
3. Linage OS 14.1 ( Based on Nougat, better stability)
nitrogen OS for better battery (31.03 build) and Lineage for better stability, as simoom said. Both are actually really stable but lineage is bugfree and it has franco's support for its legendary kernel
Btw, i'm currently using nitrogen 31.03 build and i can't complain of almost anything. There's just some sort of hanging, rarely tho, at opening some apps, lasts about 2 seconds, but happens under unknown circumstances. I gotta say i haven't ever found a bug on Lineage, but the battery on Nitrogen is double the better than on Lineage

It is laggy IMO. I use a Nexus 4 and that's faster than note 3. Maybe because of numerous bloatware and mi services. Thanks for the recommendation, will try nitrogen os.

Well, as i said, i never had an issue with lineage, nor camera since the camera patch.
Latest versions of miui i heard have heavily improved in terms.of performance and battery.
Miui is better than every other rom in terms of stability however lineage is also good
And rn3 have very good support of community
if you are going to install on your mom's phone then only 1 option: LineageOS official Nightly.

MOST SATISFYING ROM and KERNEL FOR US

Hi guys! I am making this thread so that we could have a place to tell the community which is the most satisfying ROM and kernel in our opinion and experience that you have used or most probably are using right now. Guys it would be really helpful if you share what qualities make that ROM or kernel most satisfying in your opinion like bb or performance or something unique about that ROM or kernel. Guys I welcome you to share any special settings (ROM or ka) you have done to achieve that satisfaction. So guys do share and help the community and show gratitude to respective developers as well .....
Thank You!
My choice is crdroid nougat official with stock kernel. Super stable and nice bb for my usage. I'm using it right now. No special settings. Just extreme battery saver all the time.
I think that the combination ofofficial RRos nougat and beacon kernel is very stable. I'm using it right now
I haven't used many ROMs but the most satisfying ROM for me is Viper Coral [nouget ]. Its butter smooth and best batter backup. It also doesn't have slow charging problem unlike other Oreo ROMs . It take only 2-2.5 hours to complete charge the device. Since I am not a Jio user I don't know about volte.
for me it's the viper os coral 3.1.1 final by impulsar it even shows certified in device status in play store , it's the most stable rom for me gr8 bb no volte issue nothing it's the best with stock kernel & also with beacon
Both vipers are great I.e. impulsar's and dinesh's both are certified in play store
Unofficial CrDroid by difr
Extreme performance!
Yup.. True.. Extreme performance.. Butter smooth, excellent multitasking possibilities. Good battery backup (but not the best), but wen compared to performance, this is more than sufficient.. Excellent work by developer.. Kudos..
liquid remix, stock kernel.
I am very pleased with AEX 4.6 and the Spicey Kernel. Great battery backup, responsiveness and performance, GCamMod and everything else is working. The only downside is that it is not actively maintained anymore, so no new security updates. As I had several problems with Oreo ROMs and their GAPPS, I hope that the developers will iron out these issues to make the switch sometime in the future (the unofficial crDroid build was promising, but GAPPS didn't work there for me).

Yes, I had issues with the 8.1 April 1st release (pico and nano) from opengapps.org. I first flashed the ROM, rebooted and then flashed GAPPS and I got "play services stopped" as soon as I try to setup my device. And as I did mention in the other posts, I've tried other ROMs and TWRPs as well with the same reproducible result and ran out of options there. Hence I got back to AEX 4.6 and even flashing it together with GAPPS went without problems wheras I get bootloops if I flash them together with Oreo ROMs.

I did try even older ones from December, but that did not work as well. Look overe here in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/help/flash-oreo-roms-t3743439/page4
Some people found a solution which worked for them, but I haven't tried them myself yet.
Bootleggers and unofficial crdroid by difr
I have used many custom roms with stock and beacon combo (excluding treble as beacon for treble is not out yet)
I vote for Bootleggers ROM.
It's a complete package with 99.9% pure android bug-less experience. All features work flawlessly. Best thing about this rom is Battery Backup. it's amazing, a LOT more compared to any other rom be it Nitrogen RR Firehound Cr AEX LiquidRemix Viper PixelExperience MIUI etc. I have tried them all but finally Bootleggers compelled me to stick with it for Battery Backup and almost NO bugs.
My latest choice - AEX oreo build by Woivod
AEX oreo build by Woivod, hands down.

Help me find best Oreo ROM

Hi,
I've tested many ROMs, but recently even more come. Haven't tested them yet, like DotOS, Havoc etc.
The thing is about stability, battery life, and what is MOST important, I have problems with microphone. I'm not sure if its ROM related or its hardware problem, but sometimes when I do calls, there is problem of hearing what im saying. Not sure, if the phone is using microphone from back of Le Max 2 on my ROM (LineageOS atm) or what.
So, maybe there is good ROM with implemented microphone configuration tool maybe?
Please, help me finding best ROM that will fit me
I used the following 3 Oreo ROMs
1. RR
2. Havoc (Initial Built)
3. DU
All the above ROMs are equally good. Currently using DU latest build.
Initially installed RR ROM and used more than a month since 20/3/2018. I don't face any issue with RR. Later I jumped into Havoc ROM on 26/4/2018 due to not received any updates on RR. But I faced camera focus issue in Havoc ROM. I am unable to use camera due to this. Hence I jumped into DU ROM from today.

Whats the most stable rom for Xiaomi RN4X (Snapdragon)(MIDO) ???

This is my first time installing a rom on a xiaomi, i already unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
I had consider installing Dot Os Rom but there are some comments that said that there is a slow charging issue. Right now im between Pixel Experience Rom and Lineage OS; does this ones have big bugs? i mean i want a daily driver rom . What are your recommendations? Or should i stay on miui?

In general you can say that Nougat is more stable than Oreo and has better battery life.
If you don't mind waiting till Monday and can live with a few bugs, go with LineageOS 15.1 Official (based on Oreo).
Currently I'm using LineageOS 14.1 Official. Bug free for me, stable, good battery life and updates every week.
The problem with most ROMs is actually that at some point the developer decides to drop support for a ROM and moves on the another ROM or phone. You are then left with a ROM with bugs and unfixed security holes.
That won't happen when using LineageOS official builds

Stable custom rom for redmi note 4 sd

Hello,
I have redmi note 4 3GB variant, rooted with miui 9.5.11.0
I wanted to try out a stable custom rom, I'm leaning towards resurrection rom and lineage os, can you guys tell me which versions of those are stable enough for me to try?
And, what is the most hassle free and simplest way to back up and restore data.
In other words, how to easily switch from stock rom to custom rom (or vice versa) without loosing user data?
Los is good but if u are fan of customisation Then RR is good also Aosp Extended is good option, u can restore your old backup and its very easy just make backup of your current rom and flash the custom rom.

It doesn't get more stable than LineageOS.
But the price you pay is that there aren't any customizations or features. Currently it's basically pure Android
I'm using Miracle droid for 6 months now since i dont need treble at the moment or until magisk has official treble support.
Many customization option and no bug so far.

I prefer customization, not pure android.
At least for me, Miracle has better batter life. i love RR since Galaxy S2
oh by the way RR nougat is the best battery life so far.
I use RR Luis ROM, 5..8.5 version, which is for Nougat. Battery life is excellent, lots of customizations, and very stable.
Try the Lineage Extended by Alexey. Its not here in XDA, but search Alexey711 in androidfilehost. Thats the perefect version of Lineage based ROM I've found. Lots of customization plus regular updates.
Alexey build in lineage is the best , he update daily I think:silly: almost all customization in resurrection are available in it
If you want to try resurrection go for endless, his battery life is outstanding, he also update with useful features

if Alexey711 is so awesome, then why is he/she not on xda ? why release ROMs such top secretly ?!
and endless ? is that a custom version of RR ?
and why prefer some secret ROM(Alexey build) over RR ?
Who said he release secretly?? He is in PDA forum ,his thread is there.

LineageOS eXtended is based on LineageOS and the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS eXtended does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

lineage-15.1-xxxxxxxxx-Extended-mido (OLD_LED_DRIVER_PATCH) .zip - since not everyone has a new diode driver, they made a patch for the old one.
