Best custom ROM for MIX 2 - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

I just ordered mine but I hate MIUI. I would need to reflash right away. What is the most reliable, closest to pure Android ROM?

Closest to pure android is definitely AndyYan's LineageOS. I am running it for a while now and battery life is still pretty good, no bugs so far. Only thing that doesn't work in all custom roms is VoLTE.

I love Epic ROM with AOSP notifications.

The global Oreo beta is great despite being MIUI. And I'm a pure Android kind of guy.

Oreo beta is by far the best.

Yeah miui 9.2 or something. It's just the most stable everything works and has stock aosp type notifications. I've tried all custom ROMs and stock miui has everything working. In the future that may change.

Oreo with nova launcher

when updating to miui 9 from miui 8, do i lose everything?

So, crap. I solely bought this phone to have AOSP on it, but it seems I will be back to crappy MIUI.

The mi mix forum is a mess, all the 8.1 roms are in comments of the LOS15 thread in the guides, news, discussion section. None are officially released yet by the dev

MIUI 9 beta with a custom launcher is pretty close to the experience of most custom ROMs. Just install ADW or Nova and it should be fine.

I need AOSP notifications instead of ridiculous miui ones. I need to be able to restore my apps from Google cloud or titanium backup. None of this and more does not work in miui. Resemblance to Apple makes me sick.

MIUI 10 Stable vs Beta

Hello! What is your experience using MIUI 10 Beta ? How stable is it and are there any critical bugs in it? How do things go with energy consumption? How quickly do bugs fix there?
I want to know that did Xiaomi stopped beta program for miui 10? Or it's just they didn't provide weekly build today?
Because i'm on miui 10 beta and didn't recieve any uodate today. So i thought maybe since they have launched public stable buil so they have stopped beta program. Is it true?

It is because their devs are on holidays. They do this annually, they made a post about this and the next beta build comes at 11/10.
MIUI Beta and Stable are largely the same for now. Both are good in battery life and performance but I found MIUI 10 a bit stuttering with animations and scrolling compared to MIUI 9.6.4. Also weirdly the graphics options in PUBG has been reduced with MIUI 10. Don't know why.. Switched to MSM-X Pie Rom for now.

How? What about Anti Roll back? I was in Resurrection remix before Miui 10 but after miui 10 i have to stick with it because of ARB policy. Also miui 10 public build has no finger print lock option. But i'm on beta build so everything seems to be working fine here for now.

Arb doesn't apply to custom ROMs. You can switch between custom ROMS as usual. Just don't go back to a older version of MIUI. Fingerprint works in stable build for me.

Oh. Thanks. Then i'll definitely try Android Pie based Custom ROMS. But Camera quality becomes worse in Custom ROMS.
What's the point of having a good camera hardware if it's in no use in custom ROMS.

Wrong.
Most of the custom roms for whyred come with mi A2 camera pre installed,the you can add gcam onto that.there is no difference between miui and custom camera.because its not the operatint system that defines quality of the picture taken with camera,its the application you are using.
If its a better application or same,there wont be any difference.

Actually in my oneplus one and oneplus 5 custom roms doesn't give same camera quality as stock roms. That's why i'm afraid to flash custom rom on redmi note 5 pro. :/

Nope, not yet. Coming soon. Some developers are hard at work. Treble is broken in too many things to be worth it, unfortunately. Best thing I can suggest is use miui xiaomi.eu beta roms or Revolution OS. Use root and just customize to your liking like many of us.

Ok thank you.

is there a working gcam port for redmi 5a MIUI 10

I was using "GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.apk" In MIUI 9 and it worked fine after enabling camera2api causing the stock camera app to crash. But in MIUI 10 even after enabling camera2api stock camera is working and gcam is not. I have tried BSG, Arnova8G2 and scrubber gcam ports none of them seem to work.

From what I have heard GCam is useless on MIUI 10 stable as it does not have Camera2 application programming interface implemented in it, which means adding the line HAL3....... Or using camera2api module by magisk wont enable it. So to use gcam u either have to use Cusrom or go back to miui 9 or just wait till xiaomi implements this API in their further updates.

Very sad feeling. I don't think Xiaomi will add it back. If they will add it in the future then why did they remove it in the first place. That's it I'm moving to a custom rom.

They may add it. At least it was supposed in beta 8.11.8 but i can't say for sure since beta updates for riva have been suspended since the 8.11.1 update for testing oreo. U can check out this article.

U can wait for a few days if u wish. Good luck if ur going custom. Hope i too could do so.

Question [CLOSED] Best custom ROM?

Hello guys. I'm looking for best official custom ROM for my POCO F3. I'm planning to use it daily, so I want stable ROM without any BIG bugs. Can you tell me which ROM is best at this moment? (Your opinion). Thank you and sorry for bad English
I'd recommend the recommended. The mother rom (Xiaomi EU). [EU has nothing to do with europe]. It has the latest official Xiaomi rom features. Basically what Xiaomi updates comes directly to you through this rom (with pack of other features)

Well, I am a OneUI fanboy. I don't like any of them all. but I'd have to get used to MiUI
The thing is you need to know what suits you the most and feel comfortable with. You can check the ones available here labeled as [Development].
I hope the guys here give you more intels of which could be the beat custom rom besides custom MIUI
Right now, hands down the best rom would be Arrow OS. Been using it for a couple of days now and the smoothness and experience is on next level.
I was previously using stable and then weekly EU rom.

Havoc was the first Custom ROM for the F3, which didn't include GAPPS by default - so I gave it a try...
After many years of pure LOS/CyanogenMod, I am now running Havoc 4.5 on both the Poco F1 and F3. And it works great on both devices!
HentaiOS works fine to me :v I'm staying on it till any custom with working OTA comes up

That's banned on XDA. It's also not open source . As a havoc contributor I'm biased to havoc however most of the ROMs use the same device source and so are all stable. I think ArrowOS may be the most stable at the moment but I don't have a problem daily driving Havoc

I just received my F3 and I am on the mandatory 7-day waiting period to unlock.
F1 is my current phone, running Havoc 4.5, and I want to install Havoc on the F3 too.
Did you notice any major bugs on the F3 version?
I know it's still too early for all features to be added, but -for example-, is 120hz refresh rate available as an option?
Thank you.

The only bug I faced so far is the adaptive charging: it does not work on official build (it did on unofficial ). But I'm not a 24/7 smartphone user and I don't run games on it.

ArrowOS is supporting OTA. I feel it's the most stable and snappiest of the current AOSPs. Light and fast, without a bunch of features I don't really need

Nothing changed. Settings looks ****tier and Gboard has an arrow below it/raised up. That's about it.
Staying with arrowos, thanks for the feedback.
Good choice. The update to MIUI 14 only adds a few stuff, and most of them are not useful (at least for me). The only good thing about this update is that it asks for notification access on app install, but that's already baked into Android 13 and not MIUI's invention.
There aren't any performance improvements from what I can tell. Games are still in low resolution. Honestly I expected more from this update, MIUI has gone downhill.
