Best battery friendly ROM for Xiaomi MI Max helium/hydrogen - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Hi!
(From my Xiaomi MI Max helium 128 Gb)
I tried a ROM from this forum (Resurrection Remix, last update), and I downloaded already Cyanogenmod 13 and Dirty Unicorns, but before I wipe and flash every ROM, I wanted know which one is better for battery life... With Resurrection Remix in one night my battery drains about 5% (8 hours), with 3G on. I would want consume only 1% in one night, cause also if 3G is on, I don't use the phone... I know that this is a dream, but I read in many forums that Xiaomi MI Max can be used for 3 days, with a moderate use, but I use my phone for 1 and half day maybe... I wanted more...
Sorry for my English, I'm from Italy... Now I am trying last chinese stock ROM, but it drains more battery.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks! I'll come back to Resurrection Remix. However, now I'm trying chinese stock ROM miui 8. With same settings of Resurrection Remix, I consume about 4% in 6 hours.
Results (for helium):
Resurrection Remix: 1% in about 2 hours
Chinese Miui Stock 8: 1% in about 1 and half hour
I'll try also another ROMs, and I'll post results (I'm curious about CM 13 with the new custom kernel...)
!! (Every test battery is done during the night, with 3g on.)!!

Results (for helium):
Resurrection Remix: 1% in about 2 hours
Chinese Miui Stock 8: 1% in about 1 and half hour
CM 13: Too lag, and for now is impossible flash xposed, too many restrictions, now I'm in bootloop. I will install AICP, than SudaMod.
Dirty Unicorns for now has bad feedback about sim, and wifi, I won't try it.

Results (for helium):
Resurrection Remix: 1% in about 2 hours
Chinese Miui Stock 8: 1% in about 1 and half hour
CM 13: Too lag, and for now is impossible flash xposed cause phone falls in bootloop
Dirty Unicorns: I didn't try it cause for now has bad feedbacks about sim, and wifi and it has no fixes
AICP: Has problem about data networks. No way to fix that, also if you use CM data fix from RR post.

Results (for helium):
Resurrection Remix: 1% in about 2 hours

AICP: Has problem about data networks. No way to fix that, also if you use CM data fix from RR post
Global Root Rom: This rom is the same of stock chinese MIUI, but is not the last version of MIUI
In the end... I can say that the "best" ROM, now, is Resurrection remix, but I would like to try MIUI with mpdecision. Now if someone tries to flash custom recovery on stock MIUI, this causes bootloop.

I m on miui stock 8 n having 2 % drop overnight with 4g and data connection on.

Required : Opinions for Pixel Experience Rom

Hello Guys, I just bought a Lenovo Z2 Plus and wanted to install a custom rom on it. I did my thorough research through XDA and Youtube about various OREO based custom roms available for this phone. I like the Pixel Experience Rom but I am a newbie in flashing custom roms. I read in few threads about network connectivity issues in the Pixel Experience Rom and Resurrection Remix rom as well. In few of the youtube videos, I saw that the battery backup and Antutu score of Pixel Experience rom is marginally lower when compared to Resurrection Remix.
Can you guys give me your opinion on which rom should I install on my stock device. Kindly please provide the respective rom's Antutu Benchmark scores and Screen On Time especially for the Pixel Experience Rom. Please guide me about the bootloader unlocking and TRWP installation process as well. The last time I did all these was 2 years ago so kindly help me.
Thanks.
I have tried the PE (Pixel Exp) ROM and here my observations on that.
The Good
Extremely fluid. Performance is mind blowing. I have tried 3 Custom ROM so far (AEX, RR, PE) and PE felt the best performing in terms day to day device usage. Feels like PE is meant for Z2 Plus and vise versa. Everything works out of the box, GApps are preloaded, ROM is simple but very effective. All sensors, every piece of hardware included in the phone works perfectly. I never felt it was a custom rom, felt like meant for Z2 Plus.
The Bad
Not just just pixel, this is present in all Custom ROM for me and my device. I am from India, and using Reliance Jio VoLTE.
Now the problem is network reception isn't as good as stock ZUI.
The 2.4GHz WiFi got limited to 72 mbps only. Stock ZUI has no problem, tried changing few ROMs and finally settled with AEX which I see can connect to 2.4GHz WiFi and 150 mbps. I have tried baseband 1.76 (ZUI 2.5.104 ST India) and baseband 1.70 (Latest) for ZUI 3.5.3xx China. Nothing seems to help. Out of 4 ROM, Stock ZUI (2.5/3.5), PE, RR, AEX, only ZUI and AEX are able to give me a 150 mbps wifi link speed.
Now regarding the VoLTE reception. VoLTE works fine but network is fluctuating like hell. For me, the same is present in all three custom rom I have tried. AEX, RR, PE. Tried baseband 1.70/1.76 but couldn't solve it. There are no call drops but network isn't stable at all. Tested with Reliance Jio NetVelocity app for detailed information and it seems with none of the Custom ROM, Phone is able to sustain a stable 2300 MHz link. Falls back to 1800 MHz and 850 MHz randomly. Network speed wasn't bad, infact I would say satisfactory.
Only ZUI seems to have a stable Jio reception for me.
The Ugly
Battery issue. SOT is similar with 3 roms I have tried. PE/RR/AEX but something under PE is causing serious battery drain while idle. Overnight the phone is losing 2.5% to 3% battery per hour. I have tested to different custom kernel. AR-Beast and Heliox v2.0 with PE. Liked AR-Beast better as Heliox would underclock the CPU/GPU. Now with AR-Beast the idle battery drain came down to just around 1% per hour but still higher than default Resurrection Remix (RR ROM) or AEX ROM.
Presently using AEX ROM without any extra modification. Performance isnt as fuild as Pixel ROM but less problematic than others. Infact only ROM allowing me a 150mbps WiFi link speed.
Please guide me about the bootloader unlocking and TRWP installation process as well. The last time I did all these was 2 years ago so kindly help me.

Follow this guide to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Then installation processor of ROM will depend on which ROM you select. Note, there are two different ROM type now. 1. Full Treble 2. Non Treble. Installation process are different for them.
Pixel is a non treble ROM. Like 2 years ago, you would feel similar setup process.
If you chose Pixel, after you have unlocked and got TWRP installed,
1. download PE ROM
2. boot into TWRP
3. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot
If all went ok, frist boot will take a few minutes and you will be asked to setup your Google Account under Pixel Exp ROM.
Remember, I am not an expert so wait for others to comment and guide you !! Just sharing from my personal experience !!
Good luck.

You need the NON-TREBLE new trees for PE ROM
Now as I said I am no expert so I dont know if one should flash kernel at one go. I can only tell you what I did.
First I did the PE. Setup the phone and used it for 20 odd minutes while setting up all the things. Then I went on to flash the AR-Beast. Some one suggested me not not turn on the phone immediately after kernel flash. Rather power off from TWRP wait for 10 mins before switch on. I don't know if it is required or not, but I have followed that advice.
Thanks.
@4tanmoy
One small mistake from my end. PE ROM comes with GApps included. So when you flash PE ROM, you don't need to Flash GApps again.

Yes, I did some more research. Flashed PE with UberCool.
After Setup, I flashed AR Kernal and SuperSu.
Installed Google Camera Mod for HDR+ and Potrait Modes.
Flashed Dialer Fix to resolve the dialer problem as it showed that phone is not supported when launching dialer. now fixed.
The PE ui is butter smooth, phone doesnot heats anymore. Charged last night till 100 % and browsed youtube, downloaded my preferred apps from play store, browsed quora for 30 mins, took some pictures. In the morning I played subway surfers, clash royal, some web browsing, downloaded all remaining apps for my phone. The battery is now 59% while I typing this from the phone.
Overall, I am astonished by the PE smoothness and completely satisfied by the battery life.
Excellent !!
Could you please check two things, how is the battery drainage overnight? While phone is idle.
Secondly, what is the WiFi Link speed?
Basically, two of my main problems lol

the wifi link speed is 72 mbps and about battery drainage overnight, i'll post tomorrow morning
regarding battery drain, I slept at 02:40 at night at 21 %. Woke up at 08:15 at 17 %. I guess 1% per hour. I am getting a Stand By time of 20+ hours and Screen On Time of more than 5 hours 30 minutes approximately.

Thanks for the reply.
Your data is very similar to what I have experienced with Pixel ROM.
This drainage is one of the issue for which I had to move out of Pixel ROM
Excellent review, I too installed PE and is enjoying every bit of Pixel, but the main problem I am facing is ,my phone's all sensors are dead or not working has tried Zuk Official too The nougat Indian and The Oreo Chinese version, but without any luck proximity gyroscope pedometer and other sensors are not working,
Would like ask someone from the forum to please help me to fix the isaue, as far as Custom rom in Zuk 2 I will stick to Pixel as it is the best till now what ever I have used . I have TWRP installed has flashed sensor.zip available in the Zuk Forum but nothing seems to work.
Waiting for a reply from the forum members it they take out sometime to help a man is distress.

Its a clear sign that something wrong with the hardware.
Do you have warranty left ?
If you do, QFIL 1.9 then flash 2.5 Indian ROM. Everything will be bone stock with locked bootloader and stock recovery. Go and claim warranty !!

If the issue is present with stock ROM also with bone stock phone, then it feels that the issue is with the Hardware.
Anyway, hope you find a solution and if you do, pls post that so that for reference if later down the some one needs he can fix his issue.

Custom ROM Banking Apps

Sorry if this is a n00b question
If I unlock my bootloader and install a custom rom I can still use banking apps so long as its not rooted?? Or will the fact that the bootloader is unlocked stop the banking apps working?
I'm currently stuck on P2a42_S251_171107_ROW and would like to upgrade
Thanks
I'm using LineageOS 15.1 and rooted with Magisk.
All banking apps and Android pay etc work fine.

I'm in stock android
Can anyone help me to clarify my questions ( All based on custom ROM )
1. Fast charging will work on custom ROM or not ?
2. Volte & Vilte will work or not ?
3. Custom ROM will damage battery life or not ?
I can only answer your first question, because my operator doesn't offer VoLTE, but according to comments on the custom rom that I'm using (Xtended version 10) it seems to be working. Screen-on time is now over 3hrs and I have 3,5 days to go, last charge was about 3,5 days ago. So the battery lasts over a week in my situation, which is/was a little better than on the stock rom from that day, about 2 years ago.
Fast charging is working on this custom rom, yes
Ow, and OP, I have a custom rom as you can read above , my P2 is rooted, also with Magisk, and no problem at all with my banking app; it doesn't even notice me that I'm on a custom rom.

> 3. Custom ROM will damage battery life or not ?
With Lineage 15.1 and sensible apps/settings/general user behaviour, the standby time is fine. Adding in rooting/tweaking it feels like it is better than before (Android 6).
However, I am still troubleshooting what appears to be 30+% reduced screen-on time and high system process power usage with/without rooting.

Mokee rom 9.0 !? Fastest smoother rom

I have tested the official nightly mokee rom 9.0 for mi 6. This seem to be based on lineage os( it's almost identical) but it is so much smoother. For now it's the fastest and smoother custom ROM ever tested in my life. About stability and battery I don't know because I use only 3 days.. seem to be good but it's recommended official recovery and official website gapps. Even the gaming is outstanding. The touch latency is so low and has lot of free ram. I tested also on S4. Lineage os official lag compared mokee .
Any reviews would be appreciated thanks
Great , can u share some screenshot about the settings or feature list ? I Would change to mokee if stable ? thanks before

SElinux works in the basis that it will only allow predefined activities to be run on the system. So like fingerprint activities is common. To be enforcing the developer has to define all of these rules. Tedious and time consuming they have to do it last and it takes a while.
Permissive or disabled just means any activity can run.
Its not as safe as enforcing. But if you use root then arguably you defeat the point of enforcing anyway...
Don't worry about it unless your phone needs to be 100% secure... In which case you should be using stock MIUI anyway
Permissive is the same as disabled except it's is logging right?
Well that's true actually.. having a rootet custom rom might not be super secure anyway... lol
I have checked that @xiaobai112220 still maintain sagit repo on github
sounds promising
Did you still use Mokee? How is the battery? I'm using LOS 15.1 nightly and is not that good. If Mokee is better than Lineage maybe i will try it.
I use Mokee from 7hours and i can say, its the faster rom what i use. Battery is pretty nice. Actually have SOT 2h from 80% to 65% battery. If u want somethink more u can ask. Pages on stock internet app loading instanly.
which type of rom do you guys use? "release" or "nightly"

Mokee 8.0 or 9.0? On 9.0 i got massive battery drain, for example on night time (while i'm sleeping) i got about 8-10% battery juice off, with Wi-Fi, data, gps, nfc and all those turned off. In my opinion it's very much....

Which firmware did you flash? What rom did you use before mokee?
the procedure in order to avoid problems
Clean install:
flash via fastboot official tpwr
reboot recovery
format data and all partitons
VIA ADB SIDELOAD:
install modem /firmware stable 10.2.1 global or chinese ( about 61mb)
install mokee rom 9.0 latest nightly( it has the latest march security patches with improved read write storage improvements )
install official latest gapps
reboot
for root flash magisk after first boot
How's Mokee compared to the latest PixelExperience CAF?

looking for a good non-google custom rom.

hi everyone,
I have recently bought a mi max 3. Miui is far from my favourite however, and i am looking for a good non-google custom rom. There are so many choices for roms that i find it difficult to decide, and trying every single one seems a tedious task that is hardly worthwile. I have a week to decide, as xiaomi made me wait to unlock the bootloader. Obvious sidenote: I intend to root the device as well.
The custom rom i am looking for should support the following features (in order of importance)
- works without Gapps
- strong encryption (password different from lockscreen)
- decent battery performance (longer lasting battery has preference)
- fast and smooth (the more lightweight the better)
- gesture support (should be standard anyway (the screen is huge, i can't be bothered to reach for the navbar )
- due to rollback protection, it needs to be at least android pie/ android 10(?) - is it worth waiting for android 10 custom rom releases?
I know many of these requirements can be met by using apps as well, but if it is included or easier with the custom rom it certainly has my preference.
I am currently looking at:
- lineage OS (has been my driver for the past years)
- AEX
- Syberia OS
- evolution X
- havoc OS
- resurrection remix
additions are more than welcome
note: i assume TWRP recovery and Magisk for root are still decent options. if not, please let me know

Don't worry about Anti Rollback because it's only for miui first.
Arb lvl need to be the same to rollback on miui but never go to an older one. But since a while on miui we're still on lvl 5.. but on custom ROM it's useless.
For root as always.
Unlock bootloader
Flash orange fox (only recovery supporting encryption)
Flash magisk
Reboot
And if I were you I'll try crdroid or aosip. On my side I'm the actual maintainer of aosio derpfest and stay on it since months. RR is a bit heavy and Cerberus is very clean if you want less. For those I build or builded... For the others Evolution x and havoc are very featured. And aex is lighter than oreo version if you already tried it in past.
You got others ROMs for that consider to join my channel @Nitrogencloud on telegram. Gismobe post more there than xda.
For nogapps just don't flash any gapps. Most of the ROM are provided without any

Thanks for the reply.
I got an error trying to check arb on my device, but if it does not matter for custom roms that's peachy af.
Q1: I remember encrypting my previous phone which had TWRP on it, that seemed to work fine. Did not know about orange fox previously, will look into that. How is Orange fox different from regular TWRP (specifically with encryption)?
Q2: In terms of built-in app permission control, how do cerberus, AEX, crdroid and aosip compare?
Q3: and (last question, promise) with regards to updates, I noticed aosip derpfest does not support ota updates, and crdroid seems to support ota. my previous experience with dirty flashing updates, is best summarized as: "chugging down coffee at midnight trying to unbrick my phone". Not looking forward to that -again, so i prefer the possibility of OTA updates. what would you recommend?
Thanks for your quick reply, appreciate it.

Actually the best rom for me is crdroid pie version.
i faced so many guys using corvus, it's good for gaming, battery is fine
iON 2.9 (A10) or Masik X 16.1 (MIUI12 A10)

Resurrection remix v8.5.9 unofficial and just recently shifted to masik port ROM
Stock rom plus Agni kernal v9.7 it's best ...
hi there!! im using about 4 days the ZenX-Os 1.8 (stable) and i notice the battery was amazing, the system respond without problems and there are too much stuff to personalize and look clean and smooth! now its without any kernel
I'm using stock rom but I think to switch into HavocOs or CrDroid...
For my last month with my Whyred i choose Masik ports.
Stable, fast but my phone battery and screen are going to die soon
Btw whyred community is the best i've ever seen. Thank you all guys, see u soon :angel:

Zen X os. Its full of useful features, like face unlock, daily data usage in qs, data switching qs, kernel settings inbuilt, xiaomi parts manager, good charging animation.
Battery life also good.
Using this device since 2.5 nearly tried 10 different OS, but its best. I faced 1 bu( MTP).

I had a tiny crack at the bottom of the screen.
Phone was at 45 degrees and put in a front of car's AC.
The little crack has become huge and expands more and more.
