Assistance to choose a good custom rom

Hi guys. I am reading the forums to the different custom ROMS for the ZUK Z2, but I am having trouble to choose the right one. I hope you can help me - I am looking for something close to stock android, support of the U touch gestures and phone calls recorder. Also, Could you recommend only stable roms that possibly offer OTA updates? Many thanks.

You prefer nougat or Oreo?

Well, either one would do. I am currently on Nougat, but I do not mind switching. Whichever one is more stable. Thanks

If you want as less bugs as possible;
You should be on nougat. I recommend jaguar N. Only issue may be battery life according to some users, which is not there according to other users. So try and see if it suits you.
Other updated ROMs include dotOS.

Include Gapps?

No. u have to flash Gaaps separately

If its so good, why is there no big discussion thread on it here? Any rom without a big discussion thread where users can report their experiences or issues, tips, fixes, etc, is like flashing a rom on the blind. Maybe it is a good rom, but I need to hear that from at least a 100 other users, and only a big discussion thread can reveal that.

Super, great rom !! Three questions: 1. how long the battery life, 2. how to lower the "dock", it is too high or is very wide, I do not know, 3. can you turn on badges with notification numbers? Thanks.

Xda link coming soon i guess

When I flashed it I can't receive any of calls, no one can call me , I tried to call on my number with other phone it's not even connecting

I didnt face this issue
May be you have to flash latest firmware

I flashed 11_2_19 built it is latest but anyway maybe I've to flash it again, btw when they gonna make thread here

I installed this rom yesterday. the start was slow, many features were lagging behind. today, rom has stabilized and is running very smoothly. The battery is best - 10h. sot and more. I have to say that I installed a lot, a dozen reboots, wi-fi, you tube. the battery is very good!

Every bug fix's zip file in above telegram group

Will there be any update? Rom good but a little unfinished.

Microphone bug still there after flashing fix also so switched to OnePlus 6 port.
Hope Dev will release new updated version?
Anyway this rom is so smooth and battery friendly. Doesn't even need a gcam patch for global/AI Varient.

Bug Free custom roms for daily use?

I have tried so many custom roms in my Redmi 5 plus including havoc OS, AEX, RR, Syberia , pixel experience etc. but none of them are bug free or appropriate for daily driver to be honest. some of the roms have camera bug where I did everything according to the thread's discussion but nothing seemed to work or resolve problem. In some Roms I faced problem where my Internal storage wasn't recognized by my PC (storage mode didn't work)
Before Redmi 5 plus, I had 2 Xperia phones and I used to have custom roms installed because there were so many good, perfect stable custom roms for such devices. I wonder whats wrong with Xiaomi or redmi 5 plus. why none of the rom is well suitable for daily driver.
Also though I hate MIUI, it seems its the only perfect rom for Redmi 5 plus so I use Xiaomi.EU rom. However this doesn't give me aosp experience tbh.
I wish Instead of so many same aosp based Roms there were some good fully or mostly bug free Roms for Redmi 5 plus, appropriate for daily driver.

Forse your wish to be true, some real developers would be needed. It's easy to clone some GitHub repos and cherry pick commits.... Not so easy to work out bugs in the base tree, for this you need experienced developers.
... Don't get me wrong, guys here are great for what they do, and I highly appreciate all of them. The most long standing ones like Blacksuan or Amulayax or Rama962 are specially to be thanked, but really nobody has ever been capable to address the long standing open issues. I hope they do, they deserve the credit.
My experience is that LOS 16 is the best and mostly bugfree custom ROM out there. Of course, WhatsApp greencam but is present, but it's WhatsApp bug not ROM bug.
Most of other bugs can be fixed by installing latest China dev firmwares... And are not ROM related but Xiaomi related.
.. in general, that's the best you can get, a small price to pay to stay away from MIUI.

yeah there are some bugs like proximity sensor problem and light sensor problem in official rom... I wonder what is wrong with this device... My brother bought Note 5 Ai after one month of my purchase and his device is very good compared to redmi 5 plus.. I think users of this device just got unlucky as my first xiaomi device I am having bad experience with xiaomi

Check the LOS thread, try it. I can't say about the Green cam issue, it's totally because of the apps not able to work properly with our 4.9 kernel drivers and the blobs. But I have successfully fixed green cam on Snap Camera. And GCam 5 is working pretty good without any issue. We have revamped the build environment finally. So I don't think you'll face any bugs on that one.
If you do, make sure you post it in the thread** with logs**
And you can wish anything you want, there are no limits, I never saw you sharing logs in thread discussions for bugs you face. We are not god, we don't know what bugs occur why they do unless community supports. Most people using Vince lack basic knowledge of taking logcats or being polite enough to get the bugs fixed. Check the AEX thread in post #2 you'll find changelog, go through it, see how it is evolved from the base variant, it was only because the people in AEX thread were polite and supportive. We have been successful in keeping dumb vince users out of that thread. No other thread for vince has that kind of community support.
For example, guys like you, who compare it with development of other phones, more than the developers it's the community responsible. If the community had been polite and supportive we would spend more time on concentrating on issues others face, but people chose to just rant issues without any proof, i.e logs.

i had a los 16 from xda, but that one was buggy. this one so far very good

Is there any news about that?

Still ridiculous.
Any feedback?

I'm also interested in this. Any specific recommendations?

Best ROM?

Hey!
I managed to unlock my bootloader and I'm now searching for the best ROM. My priorities are camera quality and battery life. Play Store is a must have.
I found Pixel Experience that sounded like a good option.
My version is QJZEUXM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Havoc Is pretty good
Or you can use MIUI EU
Havoc OS

MIUI Global is like budget version OS with Google bloatware. Xiaomi EU is like premium version with extra functions, more optimalisations for speed, bathery ussage and many others.

For me personally, it's Evolution X. , with the latest Yuki (AOSP) kernel. I'm not sure Atop that, I have Magisk and the latest R build of ANX Camera (Mi camera clone) installed, from . In my experience with this device, the camera really doesn't live up to the hype at all, but ANX seems to work a lot better than GCam. Probably because it was originally created by the folks who make the phone. My battery life was even better (2 days) on Descendent OS, but it was missing that customization flexibility that most ROMs offer, despite a gorgeous UI.
Also...OrangeFox seems to have some various issues, such as reporting the wrong architecture. Great UI, but it's not up to snuff. Stick with TWRP.

You are perfectly entitled to your own opinion. But perhaps you might want to backup your assertions with some evidence?
And - I don't recollect receiving any test reports from you on the various beta releases.

Question Best custom rom

Hey,
I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now there is crDroid, Pixel Experience Plus but unofficial, Pixel Extended, etc Should I wait for more stable, official or new custom ROMS ?
What are the pro/cons or features of each ?
|
|
Edit : anyone can share his opinion here and/or ask on this thread

Thanks in advance !

In terms of features you can't get more feature rich then crdroid. Most ROMs are rock stable and the one main missing feature dt2w is going to be coming in the next week or so. I'm currently using pixel extended and I've had no problem and am thoroughly enjoying it

Thank you, I'm currently using crDroid but the lack of Google Apps bothers me. I was using pixel extended but I had some bugs. I might retry, I'm hesitant for now with pixel experience plus too.

Running Lineage on mine, with Quantic kernel, Micro-g, I am getting insane battery life, This phone has been an amazing upgrade for me after being on Mi6 for over 3 years.
for a beta Build, I have yet to run into a single issue, everything is running smoothly.
I have the feeling this phone will receive lots of love from developers and will have custom roms for years to come.
Edit: on my build I have finally fixed battery drain when, double tap, ambient pick-up, or AOD is enabled, it makes no difference, my phone dozes beautifully at night. How is it with other ROMs?
The key for me and everyone i think is the kernel, no matter what I changed with the original kernel that comes with lineage the phone gets no doze, only when I use Quantic + Lineage everything is 100%.

Did you flash the kernel only via TWRP or is it TWRP and fastboot dtbo?
Also, have you had issues surrounding running apps like Google Maps or Kodi? They install and boot up but crash seconds later.

best currently MIUI BASED rom? ive tried miui.eu but ive found some bugs.

I believe there is a telegram group, I don't have telegram or any other chat app so I rely on XDA. I am using my own Frankenstein build though, where I borrowed features from all roms but I use lineage as base.
