While I wait 72 hours - Help me decide with ROM to install

Ok, so I am waiting the frankly ridiculous 72 hours to be able to unlock my Mix 2. Help me fill the time with chat about which ROM I should install.
I would like a stock Android Oreo experience with no bells or whistles. Is there more than one option, or should I just go with Lineage 15.1?

If you like stock oreo with no bells or whistles: Definitely AndyYan's LOS15.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3761585

If you like MIUI try the Community Roms from xiaomi.eu, i use there Roms for over 5 Month, and im happy, they have Stable and Weekly Roms.

Is there anyone who tried Lineage 15.1 from AndyYan after xiaomi.eu ROM? What about fluidity and battery life?

I'm on it now, battery and fluidity is as good as the other custom ROMs. Just less features.

Thanks for reply. I have no idea why, but I had some random micro lags in Facebook app so I i got an idea to try something new.. For God's sake.. We have awesome phone. Lags, even micro ones aren't allowed XD

Gets really bad when battery is low, the lighter Facebook apps on the market are quite good with smoothness, just not as good to look at.

Best AOSP ROM as of now?

I'm not a big MIUI fan but until the initial 72 hours go by I'm stuck with it... However that doesn't stop me from looking into all kind of AOSP ROMs.
I know that I'll have to test and try them all myself, but I'm curious what all of you are using and why.
My biggest focus is definitely battery life (screen time more so than standby) and I'd love it if any of you could give me numbers on this as well.

Resurrection remix, OmniROM, and LineageOS all share code trees. The differences between them should rally just be the minor feature set differences. I personally use LineageOS, but that is just because I like Lineage.

RR from Arasthel is awesome, just very very bad battery life.
OmiRom, not as smooth as MIUI, but better battery life than RR (but slightly less than MIUI)

Funny you mention smoothness compared to MIUI.
I find MIUI to be a laggy mess.
So.. it seems Omni is the place to be for battery life?

They're all pretty much the same, Battery life is subjective.

is your device full or has 100 apps running at the background? Miui is very very smooth. If your phone is clean then something wrong is going on with your miui. Some people complained for problems after ota update. A clean install solve the problem.

To add to what @papavales is saying, check what apps have autostart enabled. Great feature from MIUI that gives you great control over resource hungry apps.

I've swtiched from MIUI to Omni weekly builds and Im surprised how good this ROM is. I find xiaomi.eu laggy like hell last time...

Had some time to run the battery through its paces yet? Debating on whether I should go with official or unofficial builds here.
Official would mean hassle-free OTA, but unofficial (judging from the changelog) seems to be better tweaked for our device?

In my opinion WEEKLY are better, but thats mine. More stable and in my example more smooth (?)

I've settled for unofficial lineage os for the time being (now that I'm unlocked I need to try them all) and I'm just so happy to be back on AOSP after being forced to endure MIUI for three days waiting on the unlock permission...
The recent screen and notification shade on that thing just kill it for me.
Back in MIUI 4 and 5 they still rocked more or less clean versions of these but everything that came after just ruined it for me.

Best rom to replace official Beta rom with MIUI 10

Which rom you guys recommend to replace official ROM?
I've been reading the threads and it seems every rom has a bug, but i'm actually fed of MIUI and want stock android.

LineageOS 15.1, no bug for me, smoother than MIUI. Just a weak SOT at some moments.

Thanks for the reply!

Moreover, there is weekly update which is really cool for bug fix and security.

LOS16 is also good rom, it doesn't still have all customizations of regular LOS15, but battery life is better

I'm waiting Official builds to update to LOS16 but I'm glad to know the battery is better than LOS 15.1 (which is not at the top...).

I'd say that LOS 16 is stable enough for daily use

Recommend to me a good Oreo rom

Hey guys
I previously owned a Redmi Note 3 and flashed so many roms on that phone.
Now i just got a Redmi Note 5 Pro. Unlocked it. But currently I am very busy with assignments and don't have a lot of time.
So i can't keep flashing rom every few days.
Please recommend me a good Oreo rom. It should ideally not lag and have no random reboots. Basically I just want to flash and forget for a few months until Pie roms get very stable.
Thanks to all for their help.

Go for RR it's best so far in my opinion. Good bb ,no lags,no encryption ghost and of course edge gestures work really smooth on this rom.

Lineage OS 15.1 will be the best choice. Most stable & best battery life & no lag at all. Always go for lineage os official rom over others.

Bro listen! Lineage os is most widely used custom rom in the world. Your device has official lineage os 15.1. So you should flash it & see if you're happy with it. Only customizations not present in los. After that you can try any other rom you want.

"Bro listen" - This does not sound like suggestion, rather like a command. What is good for you does not really mean that it will be for someone else. For example, on devices I have used, RN5 included, pure AOSP roms performed better than Cyanogenmod/LineageOS ones. They have been smoother and better in battery life.
Just because something is official it doesn't translate to a better than everything else, MIUI is an official rom from Xiaomi yet some releases were a bug fest.
I've tried LOS/RR and than jumped to AOSiP Oreo, that's close to pure AOSP but with additional useful features and it has been more stable, smoother and more battery friendly than LOS/RR and overall performance was consistent. In combination with Insigniux/Derp kernel it's great.
I've seen reports of MSM as great one as well, so that can be considered as well.
Anyway you'll have to try different rom and kernel combinations to see what works for you.

Exactly.
Although I can understand why some newer members are just dazzled by the "official" tag especially in context of LOS.
I especially dislike LOS because of lack of so many useful features. Why should I need to use xposed and 10 modules to get those features when I have root and recovery and I can simply flash a feature rich aosp rom.

Ok. I apologise if i gave someone wrong suggestion. But i was telling from my experience as for me los official always works great with no single bug till now. What i've seen is people sometimes complain a lot about problems in other new roms. So i was saying in that way. Thanks for your suggestion. I'll flash aosip with derp kernel.
One question tho. I want an oreo rom with battery life similar to miui 9.6. can you suggest me that rom? Miui 9.6 is giving me 12 hrs & 13 minutes of screen on time. Thanks in advance.

No need to apologise to me, since your post wasn't directed to me. You didn't suggest anything wrong, but the way you suggested it was a bit wrong. Anyway, AOSiP is a clean rom with good features and a default Derp kernel is great for battery life, I have had up to 14h of SOT (that depends on usage of course) but as far as I remember it was never below 10h.

Use havoc os, it's feature rich, lag free and can be a daily driver for sure.

Neither one, it has Snap cam as default. You can additionally use whichever you want.

Yea I'm gonna give that a try since pixel experience Vids are freezing all the time

Currently using ParanoidAndroid. Works fine on my end. Hope they can give us another update

Only MIUI 11 is stable currently without bugs

Ion os is perfect rn i didn't have any bugs yet
Battery back is good with inception kernel

Paranoid q3 is amazing and clean
Best for me

I'd go against the current and advice crDroid. I used Pixel Experience, Paranoid Android, and LineageOS so far. crDroid seems to be the best with customization and little features (like compass QS tile. I really liked it actually. A little touch, but a worthy one). With battery life, they're head to head with PA, yet I'd say cr seemed a bit ahead. Functionality-wise, they're all more or less the same. Lineage had a problem with using headphones with WhatsApp and such, don't know if it is solved or not.
I didn't try Syberia or any others that I didn't mention above, yet because of its features and because of all, I have seen the devs of crDroid more active than others, I stick to it now and for the time to come - and can recommend to you as well.

Paranoid Android. Waiting for the Offline charging tobe fixed

Masik X 15.0 for ginkgo is the best rom I have flashed so far.
