MIUI-like ROM with Android 10 or 11? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

All the ROMs I see are basic stock android... I want to upgrade to Android 10 or 11 without losing MIUI experience (looks). If its possible with themes on AOSP then that would work as well...
So basically instead of a light fast ROM, a heavily customized one..

You can try using ported MIUI ROMs for whyred, which are based on Android 10 and 11.
These ROMs aren't as perfect as the native ones, but they are pretty decent and could be used as a daily driver with a bit of hiccups here and there.

[Q] MIUI/AOSP explain the difference to a n00b please

OK so I have flashed new ROMs onto my desire at least 50 times now, flashed new kernels and even edited my own themes, all with AOSP ROMs like DeFroST etc.
What is the difference (simply put because I am soooo n00b) between an AOSP ROM and a MIUI ROM? Pros/cons for each?
AOSP = Android Open Source Project: A ROM based on stock Android written specifically for the Desire as opposed to a port from the Nexus One
MIUI = A complete redesign of the framework, much like HTC did with Sense
OK I understand, thanks for the reply.

MIUI actually is powered by AOSP Android.
Pros of MIUI: AOSP Android, UI enhancements, user-friendliness, proprietary apps like music and file explorer that use less memory, originally made for Nexus One and HTC Desire, and it's also updated every Friday.
Cons of MIUI: ROM is originally in Chinese and while translations are still available, parts of the ROM still remain in Chinese. The ROM takes a lot of elements from iOS, and while I myself love iOS and Android, the majority of Android fans are die-hard iPhone haters.

Stable Custom ROM on Nexus 5X

Which Custom ROM is stable as much as such stock in Nexus 5X?
There are tons of roms that are stable as stock. There'd be no point in listing them because you can just browser the forums yourself. Just about all of the official MM roms are stable (note the "official" part here) and some unofficials. N roms are more finicky at this point as I've tried lots of them and had lots of issues with FCs due to substratum theming on those that supported it (easy solution here is to not use themes).

I am thinking to use themes actually. Ultimate aim to keep device in a dark state. I like black color. Is that official CM13 ROM is stable enough (really stable) for daily use ?
I recently bought a nexus 5x so it is first time, I am going to try a custom rom.

Currently the best rom for Mi 6?

Hi guys!
Im going to buy xiaomi mi6 soon, so i want you to share with me your opinions about custom roms you used. Could you tell me what rom is the least bugged and gives me the most comfortable work with this device? Maybe the global stable is? Generally im looking for the best rom, and them futures.
If you are keeping bootloader locked then go for global beta most likely.
If you will unlock then the stable ROMs are based on 7.1.2.
AOSPA has a good reputation but LineageOS 14 is about to go official for Sagit.
The 8.1 ROMs are stable enough for most uses and so far I had no issues. Just waiting for Oreo kernel sources from Xiaomi for more stability.
There is no overall best ROM. Just the best for you.
Most people here don't like MIUI though.
Its alright but for anyone who's used to AOSP style ROMs they will not feel at home using it.
Its like an iOS splice of Android leaning more heavily to Android.

MIUI gives the best experience for me, most of time I flash weekly ROM's from Xiaomi.eu. They have stable too, if you don't want to flash every week and you don't mind trying new features. Xiaomi.eu team do a great job and sometimes fix some issues with official ROM's.
You have more MIUI based ROM's like Globe Rom, you can customize before downloading and Epic Rom I'm using this week.
If you like AOSP 'flavour' you can try Resurrection Remix (RR) very customizable via settings, and the classic Lineage OS (the old Cyanogen Mod).
Give a try some of them an tell us you experience

MIUI Global Stable - Stock ROM back in May, pretty okay, except battery drain was pretty bad. About 80-100mA drain during standby
Xiaomi.eu - the first non-official ROM I use, but still a MIUI-based. At least they give consistent weekly update and improvement. Battery drain problem was fixed here. But alas, I still hate MIUI's notification handling. The moment AOSP-based ROM pop, I made a switch, which is
LineageOS 14 by Xiaobai - first AOSP based ROM for Mi6. It was pretty good. I used LOS14 on my LG G2 back then, so it was pretty much as good as it can get
Lineage 15.0 by NisseCool/UnknownDev420 - Probably one of the first Oreo/non-MIUI ROM available here. Still lots of bugs, but usable. But phone gets really hot (up to 47c during load). Project is getting less update since December. Then finally I made a jump to
crDroid (Android 8.1) by Verevka - It has all the bugs in LOS15.0 fixed and have the goodness of MIUI camera. The downside right now is that QC3.0 isn't working. You're capped at 1500mA charging instead of 3000mA, which is pretty okay considering it'll get fixed and the ROM is still getting updated regularly.
Thanks guys, you are really helpfull. The roms you described have OTA update future? I like to enjoy with installing custom roms etc. but i dont want to manually update os after all updates.
I think Epic ROM from MrRaines is the only custom ROM we have here that has OTA. Though I've never tried it before.
Which rom do you guys think has the best battery performance?? I am using RR now and getting a SoT of around 7 hrs to %20

Did anyone try the flymeOS that is new for mi6
rn im using MIUI global beta with android 8.0.0 and very smooth here. However, as soon as official Lineage OS is out im installing it. Ive already tested other custom roms such as AEX and another one based on android 8 (not miui) and i was very happy although i left due to poor camera and some bug which didnt allow me to update one app precisely which i used, so had to go back
for now im on miui eu stable.Bugs free battery is very good and ofc is fast.

Best MIUI custom rom

Hello,
Guys please I need your help with something, I wanna flash a custom rom I haven't unlocked my device yet so this is my first time I just wanted your opinion.
Xiaomi eu to guarantee future updates.
Mi globe has some extra things and also lets you customize the rom right before downloading.
Epic rom and multirom are also good (epic is in limbo, it's not clear that it'll continue getting updates as it was on nougat but you can try).
But unless you really like miui or prioritize gaming performance I suggest you to install an aosp based rom such as los (or another rom that's based on either los or aosp). Also there're some aosp or los based builds that doesn't suffer on gaming performance.

I just wanted a good decent stable rom and bug-free so i though that any rom based on MIUI would be much better than the aosp based ones.
So what do you think for me i had a sony before and i was changing rom frequently.. and actually i sick of it i just wanted a very stable rom with OTA updates.

Then use xiaomi eu. But to me aosp roms are bug free and stable. No rom side issues with the official ones. So don't worry about rom issues while using them. Just have the recommended firmware version and enjoy.
Suggestions

There is Mi-Globe which are MIUI ROMs based on official but with all the junk removed (optional). You choose which junk to remove (select expert settings) and build ROM accordingly:

Good to know, I never heard of that before!
I still prefer a AOSP rom, but this mi-globe appears to be very good for someone sticking to MIUI!
MIUI 10
Custom Android 9
Pie worse , graphic glitch common problem. Use oreo as for now untill pie stable enough.
I would suggest either 8.1 custom roms or Miui 9 (10 is just not as great in terms of perfomance etc compared to 9).
Just my opinion.
I get similar battery life between some custom 8.1 and miui9, just a matter of debloating miui9 manually and then its pretty much the same minus the customizations that custom 8.1 roms bring (unless you go LOS)
PIE is still at its early stages when it comes to custom roms but you have Pixel Experience, Liquid Remix which seem to be most stable albeit with some bugs etc
