Custom Oreo ROM or GSI?

I am on the leaked stable Oreo build of MIUI. I want to switch to a Oreo custom ROM, but I am confused which I should flash, the Generic System Images or RR/LOS. I am off course looking for stability(camera, battery) and performance, customization is not at the top of my list of needs. Thanks

I am using Both MIUI 9.5.12 in my Redmi Note 5 China ( Oreo 8.1) and RR Rom by Multiboot TWRP both working fine and RR Rom is stable and battery is also good as far as I used. You can try RR rom. BTW a tip for you if you want to use dual Rom don't put any lock in Custom rom if you do you wont be able to log in at MIUI Rom.

twrp problem

hi guys
after updating my whyred to latest miui pie version i m unable to mount my any of partition though i could flash another rom.
could any one having solution?
thanks

To install any other pie based AOSP rom firt u need to download TWRP that supports both the pie and oreo firmware (latest pitch black will help) then you have to flash first oreo firmware (don't worry about ARB just flash firmware) and then you will be able to install any other aosp ROM.

Yep I'm facing the same issue even after using the latest version of PitchBlack Recovery.

thnks a lot bro

This is a simple thing brother if you want to use a pie firmware based rom than flash latest pie firmware and than flash pie firmware based rom. But be careful your recovery must have to support pie firmware based rom . Right now only recovery that support both Oreo and pie firmware based rom is PITCH BLACK latest vertion so I suggest you to install this recovery for simple installation.
Let think you have install pitch black recovery....
1. Download 2 firmware :
(a) 9.3.14 firmware (this is the last Oreo based firmware you will need this if you want to switch back to Oreo firmware based rom from pie firmware based rom ) just flash this firmware than Oreo based rom
(b) another one is latest firmware it could be any after 9.3.14 firmware. All of those are pie firmware so now since you are on Oreo based firmware rom you have to download latest firmware and flash the pie based rom ( you don't have to flash fairmware every time if you are moving on another pie based rom but if you want to switch back again to Oreo than you have to follow (a) instruction
I guess this is everything you need to know.

Really appreciate your response. Am grateful. Will go ahead and try it. But any major advantage using pie ROM with pie firmware over using pie ROM with Oreo firmware.

Hey buddy I was searching for this thread for ages please answer my question
I am on Miui 11.0.3.0 ROM.I have orange fox recovery installed, I want to downgrade to miui 9.5.19 oreo (Dont ask me why i am downgrading). Can i flash miui 9.5.19 recovery rom directly via recovery.If i want to move to pie in future should i do the same.
Summary is Can i downgrade/Upgrade to Differnet android versions ( in this case 8 to 9 and vice versa) via recovery method.
And please tell me the difference between Fastboot and recovery ROM in terms of their content meaning what files are there in fastboot rom which are not there in recovery ROM.
Thanks help will be much appreciated

Re: Sidgup1998
Of course you can.
The latest offical MIUI Oreo ROM version is V10.3.1.0.
You'd better to flash the latest Oreo MIUI ROM.
Then downgrade to MIUI v9.5.19.
For downgrade, I recommend using fastboot method.

So downgrading to 9.5.19 via recovery directly from 11.0.3.0 is not recommended

I downgraded my miui 11.0.3.0 ( pie firmware) to pixel experience 8.1 just by flashing the rom then flashing miui 10.0.1.0 firmware (or any Oreo firmware) and success

I want to try stock android, suggest the most stable ROM. Low features are okay for me.

In that case, try https://paranoidandroid.co/downloads/onc . I personally used it for long time and found it to be one of the best among the custom roms for redmi 7.

I use the official LOS 17.1. It's mostly stable and has up-to-date security patch. It might be a bit barebones when it comes to customizations.
Then there's Paranoid Android, I haven't tested this one but you should take a look at it.

Is this actually android 10 or is it only with android 9, i want to confirm this from you because i dont want to flash a rom so many times

Lineage OS 17.1 is the most stable and fast ROM you can probaby flash. However if you want Android 11 I would recommend PixysOs, I'm using it as my daily driver and have no issues with stability or speed.
