Help with choice of rom for rn8p - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,I will soon be receiving a Redmi Note 8 Pro from a friend and I immediately started searching for a custom rom to use.I have narrowed it down to 3 and would like your help choosing one.What I'm looking for mostly is a smooth rom that will still be receiving updates.
What I wanted the most is Lineage OS(since I use it on my Rn6p and I love it) but the device was not supported ,however recently someone built it(unofficially).
You can see it here: https://t.me/RedmiNote8ProOfficial/923501
He mentioned in the comments that he will be updating it once a month which I guess is good enough.
Now my other 2 choices are Corvus OS and Pixel Experience which are both official.
So does anyone has experience with any of these roms to share with me?Thanks a lot in advance and sorry if I somehow broke a rule,it's my first time posting.

I'd go PE+

I don't think the LineageOS FE you posted has a working front camera.
I personally use PE+ from May (the release from July has some serious battery drain courtesy of Xiaomi MIUI 12.5.x buggy release).

The lineage version i posted is not the FE one. It's original but unofficial release.
How often does PE+ gets updates?

Indeed, it's not the FE. I'm a fan of LineageOS and I'm going read more about it.
PE/PE+ usually gets updates about once a month.

If you find anything important about it and it's not too much trouble inform me too please because I haven't been able to find anything about it.
If it gets updated once a month I like it, though if that LineageOS turns out to be good, PE+ would still be my 2nd choice.

Biggest issue for me right now is the battery drain in the latest release (July), so that's why I've downgraded to the May release.
Once the battery drain issue is fixed I'll go back to using the latest version.
I might try that LineageOS release too.

Why are there so little Oreo Roms?

Very few Oreo roms, some are just OOS 5.0 based. I was hoping to flash a LineageOS 15 rom by now, but there are none. Even the redmi note 4 devices have working Oreo roms although not that stable but can be used as daily drivers , but not a One plus device famed for having great developer support?
I check the 1st page of "OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development" and see seven ROMs based on Android 8.0, so... what was your problem again?!
Btw, ROMs don't just exist here, check these, too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ground-zero-roms/ground-zero-roms-feature-development

I wouldnt count on los 15 any time soon. Los is one of the lat ones to update officially. There are many 8.0 roms. As stated, not all are on XDA.

The thing is moat roms are all the same. Just different cherry pics. There are only like 4 or 5 original roms that are not based off each other.
I tried LOS when it came out, but moved back to official beta when Oreo came out.
So which one is the best?
I think OOS is ok, and everything works, but are any of the custom roms as stable with most things working?
It would also seem there are no 8.1 ROMs for the OP3!

Oh its not that it was just released. Google made something in 8.1 nor backwards compatible with 8.0 So many roms will have to start over on some things or skip 8.1

Oh thats a shame. So maybe only some of the bigger ROMs will be supporting 8.1? A lot of ROMs don't have a stable 8.0 release yet, so I am betting most will skip.

Stable is a matter of thought really. Like my device has been running 8.0 from a bug team since the second day 8.0 was released and its a one plus device.
I have not personally looked into the changes in 8.1 yet. (winter In Alaska is a busy time) I'm sure they will come but it might take them starting from scratch. If this becomes habit on Googles part, the future looks bleak for flashaholics

Yeah was using DU Oreo and its REALLY stable. Only thing I would say is that after you turn off phone it takes approx 7-8 seconds before you can turn on with fingerprint sensor again for some reason. I flash like literally every 2-3 days. I like trying new ROMs.

Hey. Where Can I find DU oreo?
If you all will think back to the previous new android versions, what really kicks off a bunch of new roms and cherry picks is when Resurrection Remix and Slim comes out.......which hasn't happened yet and certainly is taking a bit longer than in previous versions. Don't worry, the floodgates will open soon.

Umm not really. RR is just what we call a kitchen sink rom. It just cherry picked features from other roms while using a LOS base. Slim has been going down hill for a couple of years and will most likely very soon die off.
People are soo worried about more roms. More is not always better. Also dont forget that 8.1 changed alot and its not really compatible with alot of 8.0 stuff so many are starting over for the things that need to be changed.

Stay with Stock for now... Oreo is still new for the MZP enjoy it.
There's no stable Oreo ROM as of now, and stock Oreo is better than most of the nougat builds, so I guess we need to wait for some time for a good MZP Oreo build.

How is "stable" is defined in this context? (Serious question, not a challenge or a troll) Is a ROM just informally judged as "stable" by general consensus, or it some formal release or declaration that makes it "officially" stable?
I installed RR 6.1 (O 8.1) 8 days ago and haven't had a single glitch (literally, not a single issue). I know that's only one data point though.

Yes, most of the development teams do that (even RR).
They're just termed based on the development state of that ROM, The Official ROMs (stable) are released after fixing the known bugs or issues, where as the other builds like beta, nightlies (daily), weekly builds are initial builds which needs to be worked on to resolve the bugs or issues.
I've used AOSP based Oreo just for gcam but went back to stock after a while because of some bugs, even if you tried it for a week you might not have used all the functions right.
So at the end it all comes down to your personal flavor.
If you're okay with the build, you can use it as your daily driver.

I think it's amazing, but i don't have the best frame of reference because I can't really differentiate between the device and the ROM. I purchased the MZP just a couple weeks ago from a guy who had put O 8.0 stock on it, then I almost immediately put RR on it. So I don't have a real baseline to compare to. I can say that using BBS on a 12hr overnight idle test I get 0.1%/hr which I consider excellent.

Cool, thanks for the info. This is just anecdotal but I'll say that I've explored this ROM pretty darn thoroughly (hours and hours, literally), partially because it is this first new ROM I've had since a custom L 5.0 (GoldenEye) that I've been running on my GS4 for the last 4 years, and partially because I'm neurotic and want to explore and tweak everything, it's a sickness lol.. I won't claim to have run it through the full battery of SW dev QA testing, but I have used it VERY extensively, fwiw.
I use Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 as a daily. A close second for me would be AmulyaX's 7.1.2. Both rock solid for me.

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.

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.

What's the best ROM available right now? (as of 29th Feb 2020)

So, there's plenty of ROM options available to us currently. I've been hesitating massively on trying any of them due to being a bit burned by previous experiences with some not so great ROMs on other phones I've had previously. So tell me, in your opinion, what's the best ROM available right now? I'm looking for things that have the good battery life, a mostly lag-free experience, the less bugs the better, etc. The best overall ROM in general, basically. If you're using a custom kernal too instead of stock or the one that comes with the ROM, please mention it in a reply along with what you voted for.
Thanks!
I currently use POSP v3.1+8. This ROM is great if you want a proper taste of Android Q. I am using the stock kernel that comes with the ROM and opengapps pico package. I've never had any problems so far, but that's mainly because I don't use social media apps like Instagram. The software has its bugs and the battery life isn't great yet, but the Dev is working diligently to squish the bugs and that's what makes it for me. Best battery life and stability you can have is on Stock right now, especially if you debloat the ROM using shell, battery life is superb. I just can't stand Pie's ugly interface. MIUI ROM is sooo amazing, except for some little performance issues, especially on recents screen. MIUI ROM effectively transforms your Mi A2 Lite into a Redmi 6 Pro. But I've had a lot of privacy concerns over it. ROM's not open-source and Google + Xiaomi apps come preinstalled. If you respect your privacy MIUI is not the ROM for you. Pixel Experience on the other hand was a total mess. A lot of bugs + bad battery life. I haven't tried the other ROMs mentioned, but Stock Oreo is the way, if you want amazing stability, proper Gcam + incredible battery life. I literally could not drain the battery on Oreo. If you like the UI of them, stock ROMs are the way to go for stability. I'm using POSP because I just want the new features that Xiaomi should've provided us a loooong time ago.

I'm currently using this rom, in my opinion the best rom, even if without updates maybe I'll switch back to POSP later, but the battery consumption (idle) has to get even better.

I only included ones that I knew were still being updated by the developer; as far as I'm aware, the dev of the Lineage 16 ROM hasn't updated it in quite a while now. Additionally, I can't include everything

Heyo Lacia here!
Do you have telegram by any chance since i released some stuff on there for POSP and if you want to use POSP i heavily recommend flashing the chunchunmaru!_r3.1 kernel too. Too improve SOT and Idle drain and fix some smaller bugs like DT2W and Data usage not working

Did you try using Chunchunmaru!_r3.1 ?
No, I will stay with LineageOS for now and wait a few more weeks until POSP is really mature
No Pixel Experience 100% stable for A2 Lite?
I came from a Note 5 with Pixel Experience and Gcam 100% working, but my display broke so I buy a A2 Lite, but the scene looks slightly poor for me
Wich is the best 100% stable rom and Gcam (if exists)?

Theres no 100% stable rom. I mean atm all of them have some minor bugs and gcam often freeze and reboot the phone. At least this was my experience with roms and gcam... Every time I try roms I just get fed up with (mostly gcam being slow and buggy) so I'm going back to stock after a couple of weeks.
Anyways try posp with the recommended kernel. Also you can find gcam at the themes forum here on xda.

Thanks. I'm reading a lot of bad reports about the Android 10 stock rom, is this true? ?Maybe is better I continue in 9?
And at last, we didn't really have a stable GCAM? This is like a punch in the face for me
Thanks a lot.
Lineage OS 16. This phone would be awesome if it had proper Lineage support.

Don't expect a stable build of 10 from Xiaomi soon. We had a Gcam configured for A2 Lite by hass31 but it doesn't work properly on stock Pie and it will NOT work on 10. Other than that I'm currently using the gcam in the apps and themes forum with the provided xml. It works wonders but video doesn't work. I've noticed that video recording on stock vs gcam doesn't make much of a difference.
Try HybridOS but high battery drain is still issue

Best ROM for this device?

Hi I've been using the default Xiaomi ROM since I bought this device about a year ago. It was working fine with the Android 9 upgrade, but I noticed Android 10 runs noticeably slow. So I want to change the ROM, but I'm unaware if the issues are because of Xiaomi ****ing up, or if Android 10 is not light enough for the device. So I want to know which custom ROM of the ones available in this forum would best suit me if what I'm looking for is reliability and speed. I would like to stay in Android 10 if possible, so if anyone got experiences with custom Android 10 ROMS that could give some insight into their performance with this device I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
HavocOS is pretty nice, also Pixel Experience is pretty nice but when I was testing it, it had pretty bad battery 5-6h SoT. If I were you I would wait for POSP to be updated which should hopefuly happen soon. I personally use HavocOS vanilla and it works great, only issue I have is bluetooth audio that stutters rarely, and battery might not satisfy you. I get about 8h of SoT, while on stock android one I was able to get 12-13h

I ended up installing Havoc OS, only issue is camera and flashlight are both not working at all. Do you know how to fix this? I used 10.0.9.0 formware as a base

I don't have any problem with those, but I used 11.0.10.0 as base and everything works as it should. Also it might be cause by newer version, on 3.8 I had no problems and I didn't install 3.9 yet

I had flashed a "gcam_fix" zip that the guide I followed told me to install... had to clean flash again but it's working now.

How's the battery life on it? I'm looking for something that runs great and have battery life comparable to that of android one, sadly we all know android one is bugged as hell

By default the OS is almost not dozing, so you can see a bit more of battery usage, but you can tweak the kernel to save battery and make it last "forever", see the instructions on butterfly kernel post.
