(Question) What is the best (stable) rom to install now? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
my girlfriend has one mi5s 4/128 bootloader unlocked.
What is the best rom for her smartphone, which I can install?
Best regards
João Penas

I'm running the official one which works very fine for me.
Alternatively, I heard a lot of good things about the xiaomi.eu custom rom: https://xiaomi.eu/

syberia OS is the best. Performance is the best I've tried so far, battery life is also the best (maybe same with miui) featurea are also quite good.

I think the same! I'm on syberia since september and it works really smooth!

I'm on LOS 16, works very well with Advanced Kernel Tweaks (AKT) with great battery life and performance.
But, if your girlfriend has no knowledge for customizing kernel it would be better to get the Syberia since those folks said it is smooth out of the box.

does fingerprint sensor work??
and which firmware are you using??

Holy moly, this Syberia ROM is really smooth. Flashed it last night and it really impressed me, didn't even shorted the animations in developer mode as I was doing.

I can't answer for the fingerprint because i losted it when I've changed the screen.
I've a firmware from October, and didn't updated it from then. Maybe it is Firmware. But i'm not sure about that.

And can cam2 api be enabled on viper 3.1.1?
Nope...none of the oreo roms are better than it.

Yes you can enable camera 3 api on Viper. I have used Viper for a long time, it is really good I thing that it has been the longest time with out changing the rom. But the last 2 versions of AEX are realy realy good, i cant say better but realy close.I currently use aex, because I like tu have the latest software, even if I don't use the new features. Aex had some very big issues with performance, but they are fixed now.

Try nitrogen OS.. as smooth if not more than viper.. march security patches.. looks wise as well just like viper.. very good rom.. negligible heating.. dev is same as well for both jneto3000 .. i did not stay as i have weak network in my area and custom roms already suffer from weaker signal as compared to stock plus no video call in volte.. so had to go back to stock but definitely a good rom

You can just flash the zip.

Best Custom Rom Pie for OP5T

Hi, which is the most stable pie rom with many OOS features including Navigation Gestures for OP5T.
Thanks.
Codename Phoenix is easily the answer to this. Fully working OOS cam as well.
Definitely Codename Phoenix (CnP)

Xtended ROM should satisfy you.
And unlike CnP, community has contacts with devs to suggest things and submitting bug, and i'd personnally recommend you something closed source.

The only thing it lacks is ambient notifications and WiFi Calling. Once the blobs for 9.0 WiFi Calling are released, should be good to go!

Android 9 & Custom ROMs

Hi,
I don't want to get into a debate about which custom ROM is the best. (The one you pick is likely the best for you right?) What I do want to get a handle on is people's experience with custom ROMs and Android Pie.
Is there a custom ROM that has done a better job at integrating the features of Pie after moving on from Oreo, and that currently is at an acceptable useful level?
There are a few out there currently, and they seem to have been working for a bit, but is it worth it to flash a daily driver to a Pie based ROM at this stage, or wait for awhile?
Thanks for your help,
Clay

Pie roms are mostly very stable now, pixel experience and havoc, both of which I tried worked perfectly for me, no problem. You should just try it

Yah There are so many roms out there but i will suggest you to go With Pixel Experience
i have switched many roms from last 2 months But whenever i switch I have never get the smoothness that i get from PE
Latest version of PE (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3830197) has almost no more bugs and it uses Android 9: PixelExperience_whyred-9.0-20181119-0216-OFFICIAL.zip
It's updated to recent security patches and works great.
Definitely usable for daily uses!
I'm using AOSP Extended Pie. So far, so good. It hasn't blown up my daily driver yet, so <fingers crossed>.

Yes it's working very smooth, I didn't notice any glitches
I'm using LineageOS 15.1 as daily driver. Yesterday I tried AOSPExtended Rom 6.0 and Havoc-OS. In my opinion AOSPExtended runs great but I didn't find an privacy manager like LineageOS. As second I tested Havoc-OS. Havoc-OS has implemented privacy manager. But In the Pixel Launcher in Havoc-OS I didn't find a option to deactivate the Google search bar.
But both ROMs looks very great.
OT: For my personal use, I don't want GoogleServices and PixelLauncher. F-Droid and Yalp store is enough for me. For my tests with Havoc-OS, of course, I replaced the Pixel Launcher with another Launcher from F-Droid.
Revolution OS Pie is very smooth and stable and has an awesome battery life
MCaosp best custom ROM Android Pie so far I have tested. Well-balanced. 120k on antutu and lots of drums.

I'm going for Mokee 8.1 nightly edition. There are two key features that I need for my phone that's broken by recent Oreo/Pie:
- MirrorLink (needed for TV and some car HU)
- NFC for banking (Extended APDU is broken in recent ROMs)
So, if you need these features, go ahead. If not, I'd go with Nitrogen Pie.

Best CUSTOM ROM in the history of XDA?

Well hello there my name is San, I've been using P2 from many years I have rooted the device on the next day I bought it. I've used countless number of custom ROMS upto now. As per my experience there no ROM is 100% perfect every Rom has its own bug or problem. I just want to ask the developers or users to suggest me a BEST ROM MADE FOR LENOVO P2 so far upto now (andriod 7 to 10) which doesn't have any bugs or problems and everything is working.

The nougat stock rom has broken battery information, so battery monitoring apps such as accubattery do not work.
