So, I'm still awaiting delivery of my Mi Max 32GB! (it's taken a while, but it's finally made it to the local sorting office, so should be any day now!) I've been researching general discussion around this device as well as availability of custom ROMs and I was wondering if anyone would share their opinion on the best daily driver ROM they've come across.
The main reason I'm asking is that I'll be moving from a Chinese Meizu device, the M1 Metal, that uses side-loaded Gapps since there is no Global ROM available. This has caused a ton of issues with missed emails and WhatsApp messages since the ROM is super strict on background processes. Are there any issues like this with the Global MIUI ROM for the Mi Max? Do the Gapps, Syncing, etc. work just as well as on Stock Android? Or would it be best to just move over to one of the newer RR or CM roms built from source?
Also, this will be my first Xiaomi Handset. Are there any major advantages to MIUI that I'll miss out on with Stock?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

i have personally tested global stable(miui 7.5.6 - mbcmide) that came with the phone and i did not face any such problems.as soon i connected to my home wifi.i recieved a notification abt unread gmail within 5-10 mins,as i was browsing with 3rd party browser in foreground,so i dont think u'll face sync problems with miui
Or would it be best to just move over to one of the newer RR or CM roms built from source?

i suggest u dont install a source built rom just yet if ur looking for rock steady stability,they still have a few minor issues that might annoy you.just give a few weeks time they are getting there.the only custom rom i can suggest to you at this point is resurrection remix by ajsmsg78(which isnt built frm source; but at this point in time far better in terms of stability over source built roms) unless volte is important to you.then in that case u better stick with stock miui

if ur talking abt the advantages of miui over custom roms(stock android style like cm).the most prominent i can think of are hardware supported one-hand mode,volte,dual apps(in miui 8)

Hey wingryder,
Thanks for the advice. I think you're right about the source built ROMs, I'll keep an eye on progress and might make the switch somewhere down the line. And one-handed mode is definitely a bonus, switching to a 6.4" screen is going to be a pretty big jump, even coming from a 5.5". Think I'll stick with MIUI to begin with, just to get a feel for the device. Thanks again!
Was you package stuck in "origin post is preparing shipment" for a while? Mine is been there for 6 days after being marked as "accepted"

No, just a complication with two products in the same order being dispatched from two different warehouses, plus I made a change to the original order, so kinda my fault too, hah. When it finally dispatched it only took a week to arrive! What shipping method have you used? Mine was sent via standard shipping from Gearbest.

e-packet from China...I hope it gets updated soon
MIUI8 Global is fine for daily use, quite snappy but apps are aggressively killed. The DPI is also very high so text and icons look too big for my tastes. Am using RR 5.7.4 and battery life is as good as MIUI8 and it's snappy. Also supports DPI changes very well so that's a plus.

Hello there!
I just bought the Mi Mix 2, because I wanted to get rid of my iPhone SE, the screen was just too small.
I had a Redmi 4 Prime one year ago, and I was happy with MIUI back then, but I dont like Google and want to keep the Play Services to a bare minimum (comparable to the OpenGapps Pico).
I only need the PlayStore and nothing else.
Several years ago I was a huge fan of Cyanogenmod and used it on every Phone I ever owned. Though Lineage is available for the Mix 2, I didnt like the stock Android versions which came after Kitkat. I never really got familiar with it, especially after the HoloBlue design was gone and Google tried to make the OS look more mainstream.
MIUI was very pleasant to use, but even with the xiaomi.eu ROM Google is still present with all of the services.
What ROM would you recommend for me? And which ROM are you using and why?
Sorry for my bad english!
Regards
Edit: One more question: The Redmi 4 Prime had a weird audio recording bug, where audio in videos or other recording was barely hearable and very noisy. After flashing the AICP ROM of the user unterwelt (amazing work, btw), the issue was completely gone. Back to the official MIUI ROM and it was there again. So I assume its a problem caused either by Xiaomi/MIUI or some Google services?
Anyway, is this an issue with the Mix 2? I read somewhere that it has very bad recording quality, which would be bad, because I use my phone as a recording device when Im at my way to work and so on (Im kind of a "part time" musician).

Any custom ROM is going to give u what u want, just try them. What's good for one person might not be good for u
Try MiuiPro...I flash it on several Xiaomi and everybody are happy about it
OmniRom with skizo Kernel, good battery life.
LOS and RR (based on LOS of course) have a very poor battery life atm

The official site is in Russia (the hacking, malware and ransomware capital of the world) and there is very little information about MIUIPro that I can find other than people saying its good. How is it good compared to stock or other ROMs?
I think I will give the .eu ROM a shot then, since I like MIUI. Is there any possibility to turn the Google services off? I only need the PlayStore.
Also, what about the recording sound?
Finally received my MIX 2. Looks and feels really nice!
Sadly, I have to wait for 72 hours to unlock the phone. I dont know why, because I registrated the device, but I guess its some problem with the unlock app.
Anyway, I am stuck with the global ROM for so long now. Is it worth it to "upgrade" to another rom? Because global seems to run well so far, and I guess MIUI10 is already around the corner.

That's just Xiaomi policy. Wait it out and then unlock your device.
I tried LOS and found it buggy and also significantly less smooth and responsive than MIUI 9--but for some people having stock Android is apparently worth the drop off in phone performance. There's not much risk in trying custom ROMs with this phone because it's very easy to go back to stock using the MI Flash tool.
I rooted my phone and installed TWRP however looking at the custom ROMs , I don't know if it is a good idea at this point to install one. What are your recommendations especially in regards to fluidity, battery life, antutu scores, daily usage and everything working?

MIUI will give u the best fluidity
Battery life are pretty much the same
Antutu is pointless
Most ROMs have everything working
If you're all set you might as well test them, just remember to format data if going from MIUI to custom otherwise it will bootloop

That's been the normal state of custom ROMs on the last few phones I've owned including the supposedly development friendly One Plus 5. I think the problem is that custom ROMs are rarely maintained by people who actually use the ROM and device as their daily driver. You can't make a good ROM for a phone you aren't even using so the ROMs always have bugs that the devs aren't aware of until users report them. There was only one One Plus 5 ROM that didn't have bugs and it was also the only custom ROM by a developer who actually used the phone everyday. One of the ROM devs for this phone even admitted that he wouldn't consider using his own ROM on his primary phone which pretty much says it all.

I have been using LineageOS Unofficial for a couple of months, and now the official for over a month. Everything just works. Things are smooth, and works real nice without any of the wonkiness I had with MIUI. I always struggled a bit to make MIUI work like I wanted. Then again, I greatly appreciate a stock-ish experience. I am even running Substratum.

Hello everyone.
I was wondering what ROM you guys are using for the best possible battery results? (SOT)
I used to be a gamer and recently quit all games I've been playing. I'm currently using a mi globe rom.
I also changed my battery like 2 weeks ago but the problem still persisted.
The battery drain is devastating.
Even with the screen off, it drains like mad.
I want some recommendations about a ROM that will give me good battery results, be it official/unofficial or MIUI/custom, it doesn't really matter for me.
I like both.
I think ur battery is dying, and U should replace it. Check for few days battery status by AccuBattery from google store.
How is my battery dying, man? Did you read the post? I just changed my battery 2 weeks ago with a brand new one. It's just the ROM that drains the battery.
Oh, i'm sorry. I missed it...
Hello, my gf's mi6's battery seems to be going downhill but she's had it for about 3 years so it seems normal, I'll have to change it soon - one thing that has helped is flashing Paranoid Android ("Quartz 3") to limit drain on the OS side. Since you seem to be playing a lot of games, your battery running out quicker than usual seems normal to me, but give Paranoid Android a try, it's better than MIUI roms imo (I've got a k20 pro on Quartz 3 as well).
Hmm, I see. No, I don't play games anymore.
If you see my post above, I said that I've quit all the games I've been playing in the past.
I'm just using normal and social media apps like Facebook, Instagram etc.
Guess I'll give that a try. Did you change the kernel to a custom one or something? Also, what firmware did you flash before installing Quartz?
Or did you just flash a fastboot official ROM then wipe data + cache, and installed Quartz?

I am in your situation, have you found a ROM with low consumption?
i think i will install:
- Evolution X
- Rev 0S Miui
- Paranoid
- Pixel Experience
I'm just looking for low battery consumption and having Gcam.
I have literally tried countless things for my phone and I'm honestly left without options anymore. Even though i love MI 6, this battery issue has led me to think about buying another phone. Charging your phone 2 times a day has destroyed the purpose of a "mobile phone".
I've tried Android paranoid, epic rom, havoc os, pixel experience etc, yet no rom left me satisfied as far as the battery is concerned.

I have again obtained a better battery result with the original ROM, changing it for a NOHON. But I think that the latest version of original ROM has excessive drainage. I think a Nohon + custom Rom battery can solve our problem. Have you changed the battery for a Nohon?
Of all those ROMS you tried, did any give you better results?

I'm pretty sure the results were almost identical with all roms I've tried, sadly.
I've changed my battery like a month ago with an original one, not NOHON, so it's practically brand new. Yet the battery still drains like mad even with the screen closed. It's just unbelievable. I really have no clue as to what to do anymore.

Xiaomi does not have original batteries for sale, they are all fake. Fortunately with this brand of battery I can give this mi6 more life. I in your case would try this brand.
I edit:
From this moment on I will test 1 or 2 days each ROM that I have mentioned above.
Yeah, i see. Then i don't know what battery i have because i had a technician change it in a shop around my area. Haha.
Then I'll be waiting for news from you. I will also try some other things i guess. It can't stay like this anymore, definitely.

If you wanna use Miui, install Xiaomi Eu Miui 11 stable for mi6. It has the best battery life I've seen on mi6.
Else if you wanna use AOSP/CAF, just wait for Paranoid Android Quartz 4. It's the best daily driver for mi6 right now.
I'm using Xiaomi Eu miui 11 stable right now and I'm so happy with it.

Thank you for your answer, i will try it I guess!
Hello all !
I recently buy an samsung galaxy s9, I love it because of his size, today all manufacturers are racing for the biggest screen diagonal, but forget about the people who like compact phones.
the only thing I don't like is that the battery doesn't really last. I use some social networks like instagram or whatsapp to chat and the battery is not consistent enough for me, I think. (I uninstalled the bloatware app and made a maximum of optimization).
So I'm thinking about the solution of installing a custom rom. I'm doing some research and I like the pixel experience or the lineageOS.
The reason of my post is to ask you, you who know much better than me, is it really going to increase the duration of use?
Do you have any advice on this ? I read that you have to calibrate the battery after installing a rom but maybe you have other advice, a rom in particular, settings to do ?
For rooting i find this thread in this forum > https://www.thecustomdroid.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-root/
but i got a SM-G960U1 that is not supported..
Thanks you a lot for all ur answer and information good to know XDA members !
Well I have a galaxy S9(5.8" size) and it's running NezukoOS with android 11. Pretty fluid and with light use I can get it to last me all day long, however I turn it off during night. If you really want more battery life, you should considerer using a custom kernel, as that is what is really going to improve battery life. The custom ROM will bring new features and make your phone feel different, but it usually doesn't improves battery life(at least the ones I tried out didn't help battery at all).
Hope this is useful!

Can you recommend a kernel for better battery life?
And another question to NezukoOS or general AOSP roms.. can you unlock the device by pressing the 'invisible' home button on the screen? Is this option still available in these roms?

sorry for my bad english Greetings From Germany!!
Well I never used a custom kernel as I didn't had any problems with battery life, but I do know a ROM which comes with a modded kernel. It's call Noble ROM, and brings ONE UI 3 with android 11 to the galaxy S9. I tried it out and it works pretty good, and when you install it you have a modded kernel that will ask you if you want to improve performance or battery life, here is the link if you are interested on it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-03-2021-sm-n960f-fd-n-sm-g96xf-fd-n.4244747/ However if you prefer the stock Android I can't really help you, but for sure there are a lot of kernels on XDA forums, you just need to search one.
With the 'invisible' button, on all ROMs I tried(EvolutionX, Pixel Experience, HavacOS...) when the screen is off and you press it, the phone turns on, but once the screen is on it dones't work anymore. I didn't miss it actually, because I use navigation gestures, so the only moment I used was to turn it on. I don't know if that answers your question... Also I didn't find any options to modify pressure sensitivity on settings.
If you still have any questions feel free to ask me!

I also tried noble Rome, but every time it was very laggy and the interior assistant almost always crashed. I had to restart my device very often. My phone had also overheated and I uninstalled it again. no matter how often I did a reflash it was always laggy as described above

Oh yeah that's bad. My phone also overheated when I tried it however I thought it could be because I overclock it's CPU. My main problem was the camera didn't work almost all times and I needed to restart the phone continuously, so I went back to NezukoOS.
I also liked ONE UI however I don't know if that happened to you but my phone was very slow on ONE UI and animations almost all times were very laggy. That's why I start using AOSP, and also because I really like the new features.

I don't bo back because of various reasons. First and more important, it's starting to be obsolete and Android 12 is going to be released in August I think, which makes android 10 be 2 years old. Also this customs ROMs give a lot of features that I don't find on the original ONE UI, like caffeine. Finally, performance. My phone was slow and laggy on stock firmware but now its super fast, as if it was brand new. Hope this help you decide.

My phone was slow and laggy on stock firmware but now its super fast, as if it was brand new. Hope this help you decide.

Yeah I imagine that would happen. Glad to know we have one more user on this ROM
Wow very nice posts of all of you guys thanks a lot.
What do you think about arrow os? I am undetermined which one i should give a try. I prefer a very clean and hardly debloated os.
Some experiences?
I dont like the Samsung stuff so i'd like to try aosp. I think i can live without volte and wifi call
No problem! Glad to know that this is useful.
I tried Arrow OS however I used it only for 2 days. The ROM was good and seem to be stable however it didn't have a function which for me was crucial, smart charging (charges your phone only to 80% to slow down its degradation) so I went back to NezukoOS. Arrow OS and AOSP are in general don't have bloatware and useless applications preinstalled however if you don't want a lot of features PixelExpirience(not the plus version) is going to be good for you. It's simple, very smooth and almost identical to a Google Pixel experience. LineageOS and ArrowOS however have more features built-in.
Hope this helps you choose!

After flashing 300 times and almost bricking the phone once , going to count my chickens before their hatch and I'm going to settle on Arrow as being my favorite especially as latest build just stable snappy battery is awesome and non-bloated till we meet again happy Friday by the way!
great!
i seem to face bounce jitter on all roms while scrolling especially in the browser. in simple terms the bounce happens because the screen skips/jumps a few frames. is this an issue on arrow too? happens mostly in chrome. btw does this have dynamic refresh rate and how's battery life , sound whats your camera setup like... describe more ''' <
looking forward to your reply

I think it's the most stable is rom out there definitely better than stock when I have stock on it I literally got to press things twice because it's so laggy versus arrow

How did you hardbrick it, did you literally smash it with a brick afaik these phones are 99% unhardbrickable
That's what i like to know as well.
I've flashed roms for about ten years or so and i never hard bricked a device.
And i can count the soft bricks i had on one hand.
I will also settle in a MIUI modded Rom. Because we hate Miui but our phones needed at least to work as intended, I know with a pair of bugs but at least we don't have empty pockets. I care about battery and SOT, I mean what I look for in a ROM. And with this one is what I got.

i have a oneplus 3t bought it new when it first came out, still run perfectly fine never opened, i have done all kind of experiments with it finally flashed PE about a year ago, i have all my authentication apps for work and personal accounts on it + banking apps and so on, flashing ROMs do not affect and longevity of a phone.
Arrow and Syberia are the best two roms right now. Syberia has more options than Arrow but both are stable and I haven't had any random reboots or glitches. The one plus side to Syberia is the ringtones actually play through both speakers instead of just the bottom one. It's the only custom rom with that feature which means they actually took the time to get that working and that's a good sign to me. I also like having Face unlock and any rom that doesn't have it I stay away from. Also basic things like hiding the battery icon and just showing the percentage and customizing the quick settings columns and rows are options I think all custom roms should have.

Why buy a MIUI based device if you hate MIUI.
Pretty bad self consumer choices there.

Because the hardware is unbeatable at its pricepoint. But I'm pretty sure you already knew that and were just trolling.
