moat stable oreo rom for daily use - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi peeps
My wife have note 5 pro and she tired of miui..
Please suggest a stable and daily driver ROM with good standby back up.. Where everything works..including volte.. We use jio only..
She cannot keep changing ROM for trial.. I cannot change my phone with her and try as I have z2 and don't want note 5 pro..???
Can be Oreo as well..
Please help??????

Lineage OS or Pixel Experience
I recently switched to LOS 16 from Xiaomi.EU. The ROM is quite smooth and stand by time is excellent. Also, it comes with MIUI camera and Cam 2 API enabled out of the box. In case she doesn't need much of customisation, then you can definitely use this as a daily driver. I have the 29/09 build ( post with 30 sept) version.
I've also used PE Plus in the past which is also another stable option with great battery standby.
The only important thing I find in LOS is it allows me to use ViLTE (Video) using Jio SIM, the last time I checked in PE, it wasn't there. Make sure you check it if you need it.

Which Rom to go for, Tab Pro8.4 ?

Hi,
There's a multitude of roms available for the tab pro8.4.
As someone who's not particularly tech minded which would be the best to go for to give my tablet a new lease of life with the minimum of bugs ?
Cheers
I would suggest CM 12.1. It was Lollipop, but still batter than stock (Kit-kat). It has stable releases (CM is down, but you should still be able to find a download somewhere on the Internet). There are newer LOS builds, but that's only nightly builds, and the ones I tried are not very stable.
I've tried 2 roms,vu-vu-2.0 and slim6 and both have failed to install because of signature verification failure.
What am I doing wrong ?
I am using the Resurrection remix, by rnwalker. Version Nougat 7.1.2_r2 - N2G47E, from 24th April. It is running smooth without crashes or bugs, but I don't have Gapps installed.

I'm assuming the camera doesn't work as per all Nougat roms ?
I managed to instal Slim6 in the end,it's pretty good and very stable,better than stock battery life
I've been enjoying Slim6. Great battery life, and has been pretty stable for me:
https://slimroms.org/#/device/mondrianwifi
i am also running slim 6 . pretty stable and bugless
I'm have the odd issue with charging. I'm using a fast charger that came with my phone,2 amp I think.
Obviously it only works as a standard slow charger with the tab pro but it never reaches 100% unless I switch it off briefly
Yesterday I installed AICP 6.0.1 unofficial from August last year (after cfautoroot & latest twrp 3.1.1 for the 8.4). Was going back and forth between latest nougat cm and this one, really like some of aicp features and have different levels of it running on other devices.
Seems to run fine except for 3d rendering in a game I play, Star Trek Timelines. That game ran fine on the old original kitkat but is very choppy on this rom. Turning on forced 4x msaa in opengl es 2.0 apps dev option seemed to help a little. Anything else I should try?
Thanks!
Switched to latest Nougat Resurrection Remix (5.8.3) for the Tab Pro 8.4, running great! All options that AICP has, and then some. Enjoying some extended life for the Tab Pro.
Still having 3D stutters in ST Timelines, though.
I went with Slim6 and have been using it for a few months.I found it quite laggy so have just switched to the latest Lineage nightly and it's like chalk and cheese.
Can't comment on it's stability but it's so much more responsive,it's given my tab a new leese of life,thanks
I've switched from Slim 6 to Lineage 13 and what a difference.
Slim used to lag and stutter but Lineage is in a different league.The camera is rubbish mind so I've installed Open camera.......focussing appears to be an issue but as I rarely use the camera I'm not bothered.
Good work on the O/S though

Giving my Z2 to Mom, How to make it fool proof? Suggest ROM and Apps Details inside

The requirements are simple – everything should just work fine. Requirements include games like Subway Surfers and such, browsing the web, YouTube and working camera. For me I am getting a Mi A1 or Redmi Note 5 Pro (I don’t like MIUI though but for the price I can compromise and it seems the best choice, there are no other options at that price, please suggest if you have other device in mind. Also in future I can Install ROMs on Note 5 Pro also, so yeah).
Below are my few ideas:
Stock ZUI EN 2.0.133 ST because it is more stable than Nougat variant. With ZUI I am planning on installing the Material Notification Shade app to fix the disappearing notifications icons issue but in my testing I found it to be using almost 50% of the battery, therefore I am scrapping ZUI idea. Also ZUI feels a bit cluttered too. If the notification shade app can be made to consume less battery then I will go with it though. I know ZUI with Oreo is around the corner but it's ZUI after all.
I am currently using AEX 5.2. It is quite stable but has good overnight battery drain, like ~15% sometimes. Yesterday I slept at 3 am with 82% and woke up with 68% battery at 10 am. Also there is the camera problem. I have been using the Modded GCAM and it is GREAT! Only problem is the videos, unusable slow motion and normal videos come dark and they are unusable as well. BUT for videos I use OnePlus’ camera app and it is good but I can’t see mom using camera without getting confused So I am ready to forgo the camera2api magic and install a non-frills camera.
So for Camera please suggest an all-rounder workable camera application that I can install in the system or as priv-app and also any suggestion for the battery drain.
I am looking at some other ROMs as well. I want to test some ROMs that just work. I have been hearing about ViperOS and H2OS for some time that they are great. I just need a ROM that will work, no bells and whistles needed. So please Suggest some ROMs.
If you have any other suggestion then please let me know.

I did use 4.6 way back and here is what i found if i recall:
In notification shade when you swipe the notification it stutters.
I don't remember about the heating issue though.
It was stuttery in general now that i remember, i had to flash Heliox Kernel for the heating issue and there was no improvement in the performance.
4.4 was quite good if i remember it correctly.
Anyways thanks i think i might revisit this ROM

I just flashed ViperOS with stock gapps. Too much heating and user interface stutter and lag.
I do not have any battery drain. 1 percent at nigth on airplane mode . Check ur apps.
8 h of sot on aex 5.2.
you can use deodexed zui 3.5 oreo oreo zui is far better than nougat zui
I have to say, just ask your mum about her preferences of what she likes to use out of the phone.
And install barebone AOSP-ish rom with adblock/popup block/youtube ad-block on it. Then get her apps installed and she'll be happy. No complexities whatsoever.
Our elders aren't picky as us , my mum is using an LG G3 and its been on fulmics rom from day one, and it works perfect for her because all she does is follow up daily news, youtube, browse some internet, watch some episodes and thats it.
Also a 5.5" or 6" screen is ideal for our elders because of good visiblity of text etc.

For stuttering issue, use HelioX kernel. You'll get the best performance+battery efficiency out of AEX 4.6.
If you want good camera, flash this camera oss.zip from here and use Pixel Camera mod by Arnova. Then you're good to go.

Adaway for adblock (it blocks adfly links too)
YouTube adblock is Xposed module.
Popups and their popup links are blocked by adaway too , well most of them.

Did you flash last version? Viper is the smoothest rom for our phone, and no heating at all. I'd like to use a newer Oreo rom but they all are behind in terms of smoothness and heat...

I don't remember the build date but it was named "Final N" at the end. That's the build I flashed and had such experience.
Please link me the stable build.

Aw man now i feel like i am doing something wrong.
Okay i'll try it again but tell me if there are any mods i have to do to get the best out of the rom.
like what kernel, camera app, gapps package size, baseband version, magisk etc.

I'm using the rom as it is, with its own kernel (it's heliox btw). The rest is up to you, I'm using gapps pico, magisk just to have root and remove ads with adaway and gcam mod
just use viper os 3.1.1 with heliox 10/15 ..
Nitrogen OS Would be the Best! But there isn't any solution to Dark Videos as yet. Still you can use Proshot or Footej Camera for the Job.

Do's and don'ts

So I am switching to the One + 5T, I am coming from the Axon 7. I have alot of reading to do to catch up to current activity. I am curious if someone could assist on what to do and what not to do to quickly optimize my experience with this device. Are there certain update to do and not to do to avoid getting to a point of no return? I am not new to romming and unlocking the potential of devices.
On devices previously, it was better not to do certain updates due to locking yourself out of certain features and abilities that rooting and flashing custom roms provides. Mostly I would like to know what not to do, as I will read through all tutorials and instructions to find what best works for me. I would like to get the device I will be using daily up to speed.
Are there kernels that are better than others for battery like without compromising performance?
I read that 'codename phoenix' is the only ASOP with full OEM camera functionality, Is this still true as where I rad that could easily be dated with all the support for this device?
Any guidance or answers are greatly appreciated. To this device I am a noob, but not to the helpful community atmosphere XDA can provide
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Fellow enthusiast.
+1 for OP.
Wondering also what are possible benefits and drawbacks of using custom/modded version of kernel?
I couldn't get the OOS portrait mode to work on codename phenoix. In my experience codename phenoix had the worst camera experience. Every app like Snapchat and instagram had camera bugs and other ROMs don't. I also recommend flash kernel on any ROM. Rock stable and fast AF . there's always a way to get back to 100% stock and locked bootloader. I have net heard of a fully hard brick that couldnt be fixed. So go for it, even if u stay on OOS then later choose to go custom roms.
I'm on custom ROMs using gcam v6 beta. Its way better than OOS cam. I'm using the HDR front cam fix and I have the pixel 2 portrait mode on front and rear. Way better than OOS portrait but only work on human faces. U can also use this on OOS but with the fix it breaks face unlock
I'm in the same situation here, I'm getting my OP5T tomorrow and I've been reading XDA non-stop for a week trying to figure out the differences between the popular ROMs and Kernels so I know where to start.
So far I've come to the conclusion that Flash Kernel (for custom Roms or OOS) and RenderZenith (for OOS Stock only) are probably the best kernels around if you want performance and stability. Franco Kernel would be for saving more battery probably sacrificing performance.
And for stable ROMs (I don't care too much about customization, I just want stability and performance) either Omnirom or Liquid Remix.
Of course that it's really hard to judge without even being able to try them first and just reading lots of comments about each one, so I think I'll start with these first and see what happens. I've also seen many people recommending Resurrection Remix.

Tbh u just need to get them and try them all. I was like you. I made my mind up, that I would stick to RR when I got it. But I've tried most of the ROMs now, and tbh they are really similar in features wise. Some have little bits and pieces which make you stay. For example on cr droid u can customise the alert slider to toggle auto rotate and force rotation off etc.
Some ROMs lagged for me, some had delays when waking the screen, some didn't have proximity check when in pocket. Its up to you. Personally. Any time i'm on a custom ROM, I just flash , flash kernel because I know its amazing and lag free.
Ive been using Cr droid with flash kernel for weeks bug free with flash kernel for weeks.
I spent like one morning. Downloading all the ROMs, wiping and flashing them all without gapps so the install Is quick and just go through and looking at everything. U will be suprised how similar lots of them are. Its the little things that I look for.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm thinking the first days I'll keep OOS and maybe flash "Flash Kernel" or "RenderZenith" since apparently it gives the smoothest experience and then I'll start flashing ROMs. I really like the idea of ROMs with OTA updates like LineageOS which I currently have on my Moto G4 Plus because then I don't have to continuously check the forums to see if there is an update available, do you know of any other custom ROM that does this? Also, when you update a ROM, do you have to flash the kernel again each time?

Yeah the custom kernel needs to be reflashed. So the ota will update but u will still need to flash a kernel which to me defeats the purpose of an ota. So I just manually do it. Also kernels get updated often too. OK what I recommend. As soon as u get the phone. Unlock the bootloader and install magisk. And stay stock for a while. Try out the camera (I miss the OOS cam with that awesome 4k stabilisation) but gcam is better for the rest. And then try custom kernels. I didn't really notice much difference on oos with custom kernels but on aosp I noticed it fly.

Awesome! And one last question if you don't mind, I'm pretty sure the phone will come with Android 7.1.2 and my understanding is that the latest OOS version contains Oreo. After hearing about all the bugs Oreo brought, should I stay in Nougat for now or is it safe to upgrade to Oreo? I don't mind staying in Nougat for now if it means I'll have better battery life and/or stability.

I'm using OOS 5.0.4 completely stock Android 8.0.0 which is the latest official version there is (to my knowledge) and I haven't experienced a single bug.

Oneplus last nougat update was 7.1.1 and the Oreo update for me has less bugs for me and has better battery life. Custom kernels can fix battery life ?. Wouldn't recommend to stay on nougat. Everyones on the Oreo train
TBH i feel that the stock OS is fine performance and battery wise and there is not much point rooting and installing a custom ROM unless you want even more customization than what OOS gives u
I think you're better off running the stock ROM (8.0 or 8.1) and stock kernel first on any new device, at least for a few days, to get a baseline. After that try different kernels and/or ROMs if you're not satisfied with stock.
Unless you have the stock experience you've nothing to compare custom mods to.
And to be frank, OOS is a pretty awesome AOSP mod anyway and any difference a kernel is going to make is in the margins.

I bought this phone a month ago and still using till now. After trying all stock and custom roms, I have my own choice, just simple, stock 5.0.4 rom (or beta 5 rom) + your favorite kernel (up to you) + stock camera mod (it's a must if you need better quality photos) + magisk (for camera mod) = stable daily use for me.
I have been using for over a week and I think it's going better with time, so far so good now, average 8 hrs SoT (15% bettery left) within 50+ hrs is about the same as my old Mate9, still less than custom rom 1 hr SoT but no problem for me (the phone comes with Dash charger). I also use Xposed with GB that's why I dont need custom roms anymore.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/mod-oneplus-camera-jpg-quality-to-100-t3714595
the title is for Oneplus5 but it's working well with 5T also, no problem so far. I used to use Gcam but after days I realized that it's not much better than stock mod cam. In addition, gcam shutter speed is slower than stock mod cam and it lacks of many feature from the stock one. I can say with stock mod cam, OP5T photo quality is better than my Mate9 right now, Im sure for that. (with original stock cam, it's the worst but with stock mod cam, it's much better than many cams out there, no more noise and grain in low light)
I've just come from mate 9 , bought a view 10 last week , really pissed at the camera/video lack of eis makes it unusuable.
Received 5t a few hours ago flashed beta and took some snaps video and I'm impressed

Best Nougat/Oreo based treble/non-treble rom with VoLTE

Can anybody please suggest a good rom which supports VoLTE and has decent battery backup. I've installed AospExtended Oreo but the battery life is pathetic which i never expected. I don't know why but i found Nougat to be more stable than Oreo (I'm using Oreo only because of GCam stability). Please now if you can suggest any rom.
Thanks in advance

It would be helpful for others to know few details about your setup.
Which version of AEX do you have ?
Any special Mods you have installed ?
Which Kernel are you using ?
What is the SoT reported by AEX default bat settings and 3rd party apps like AccuBattery
Have you checked the top most battery consuming apps or service ? What are they ?
What is your usage pattern, are you a heavy gamer ?
Secondly, never ever judge battery backup of a ROM with few hours or usage. Make sure to use the device for few days. Best would be commenting about battery after a week of usage (10/12 charge cycles).
Thirdly, same setup may offer completely different backup to two different user. For example a heavy gamer running longer PubG sessions may end up with 3 hours and 30 mins of SoT where as with same device and software, a person only using the device for phone calls and text may end up 7 hours (even more) of SoT !!

Ya you're right. But I've used it for around 15-20 cycles. No mods installed or any custom kernel. The mechanism of checking battery stats is not good on this rom. It shows the breakdown of stats and not complete analysis.
I think my network was the real culprit plus the temperature in the area i visited.
And for gaming, i never use my phone for gaming (I've a PC for that, even PUBG). I'm a moderate user. I used Greenify the same way i used in Nougat AICP. Battery drain was considerably very less.
The rom has got mixed reviews on sot...so i think this may be a 50-50. Anyway i want a rom with more features...

Its been long since I haven't tried any non Treble build so I wont be able to comment on that, but on Treble, RR 6.1 having the most customization options by far. This version of RR is very similar to AiCP UI wise, so as an previous AiCP user, you may feel comfortable. The main different UI wise is at the ROM extra, huge number of settings to play with.
Thanks.

Its been long since I haven't tried any non Treble build so I wont be able to comment on that, but on Treble, RR 6.1 having the most customization options by far. This version of RR is very similar to AiCP UI wise, so as an previous AiCP user, you may feel comfortable. The main different UI wise is at the ROM extra, huge number of settings to play with.
Thanks.

Thanks. I think i will have to install a treble rom as it is the next step and today or tomorrow, all roms will be treble compatible.
And you're right, AICP has the most customisations..i just loved the nougat base of it as i used it for a very long time...

This rom is so much customisable. I couldn't even switch off my second sim in previous AospExtended Oreo rom... Thanks a lot. And VoLTE is working too on BB 1.70
Hi Guys. I'm sick of my zui and want a minimalistic ROM with minimal features but good battery life and performance.I don't like switching ROMs too often so stability is a big deal.Any recommendations?? I've rooted other devices but never rooted my z2 plus so need advice.Please advice which ROM to use.

It's popular but better not try a treble ROM
Its a lot of hassle and performance is a little low compared to non treble ROMs
Airtel VoLTE?

Anyone still using Oreo?

I have tried Pie roms but they are not as stable as Oreo. Especially in games like PUBG where there are glitches.
Anyone else on a stable Oreo rom? Which rom and why? (Do mention Android version to avoid confusion.)

I'm on bootleggers 3.0 last oreo build with derp 2.8 Kernel i tried almost all ths oreo ROMs and this one is my favorite , you should try it once :good:
yes,
I am using Cardinal AOSP and pretty much happy with this ROM ! :fingers-crossed:
you can try it
Yaps i still on orea , i have tried most of pie rom available for our device but all of them has some kind of glitches and not enough customization as in oreo ,so i will stay in oreo untill pie rom as stable as oreo and has enough customization.
yep, still using aosip oreo rom, it's the first rom i flash after unlocking bootloader, pretty much stable for my daily use
I'm still on AOSiP Oreo, pretty much since I've bought the phone back in June (used RR for some 10 days maybe), and have briefly tried Pixel Experience, but back when it just came out.
Oreo roms are still more stable than Pie, although for my kind of usage I could even go for Pie, but I don't want to give up Xposed just yet.
It would be nice to have another update for Oreo roms with updated blobs, but I guess exactly 0 devs share this opinion so there's that.
@Cirra92
What"s wrong with AOSP PIE roms ? I"m using PE right now. Apart from "not perfect" standby battery drain, broken manual network selection, broken 5GHz hotspot and that time when MIUI camera refused to record a video (fixed it by rebooting the phone) there isn"t much to complain about. PIE roms seems stable to me

Well I didn't state anywhere that they are unstable, I have just said that Oreo roms are still more stable which means more refined and bugs (mostly, or at least the major noticeable ones) ironed out. You have named couple of bugs already, there are also couple of bigger ones, not supported SD card formats, unstable network handoffs (4G->3G->2G), some roms have WiFi bugs. And that's normal, count in the time put in Oreo roms, and on the other hand Pie roms, as with each major Android release, new bugs arrive, some harder to fix, some easier.
And another note I want to make (mentioned in previous post) that for my particular usage, Pie roms are probably suitable enough, though it depends when will I decide to switch and give up on GravityBox and XInsta (mainly the latter).
Pie roms are certainly getting polished, and are already daily driver material for most people, but still, not everyone.
Revolution OS in combination with latest Deep Kernel.
Perfect for me. Smooth, no lags, fast and awesome battery life
