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 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

Lineage OS seems death on Mi A2 Lite, yea I'm found builds but not updated too long.. idk why, Lineage OS it's one from best
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.

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

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

This forum is very confusing, not like my old phones forums.
I just wanted to ask what ROM and kernel combo you all use and what you've found the best. Just asking for opinions and a chat. Don't kill me
I'm on LineageOS 15.1 with Alize Kernel. Very nice and smooth with good battery life and since it's 64bit I can use the Google Camera port with HDR+ which massively improves the usability of the camera for me!

Details are in the LOS 15.1 thread. Read through the replies from the 21st of December, everything you'll need to get it working is there!
I'm using the stock debloated and rooted ROM, I prefer stock because it has better quality calls and because of the battery, it's just amazing, with linage is 14.1 I could even last a full day with a lot of use. But with stock I've been in a small trip with friends and most of the time we were with the Bluetooth and GPS on, battery lasted all day long, and over night it just use 2% of battery. Also you can install Xposed, so you have almost the same customization as Linage OS. The only thing that bother me is that I can not make run my favorite sound mod, Dolby ATMOS.
I'll wait until a stock debloated and rooted 8.0 or 8.1 ROM appears or gets developed.
It's always fun in XDA, thanks for the great times I've had in this forum.
I'm also using the stock debloated ROM but unrooted. I don't have a need for root really. But this ROM is amazing.
I had the phone for around 8-9 months before I could be bothered going to the trouble of unlocking bootloader and such. Will never look back, I have so much more free internal storage and phone is a lot faster!
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.

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.

Neither one, it has Snap cam as default. You can additionally use whichever you want.
My previous phone was Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and it had a ton of custom ROMs and features. But even though the 7T doesn't have a large number of custom ROMs, I'm very happy with the Oxygen OS since it very similar to the stock Android and has necessary features.
I want to know that what all Oxygen OS unique features will I miss if I switched to a custom ROM? I mean the features that won't get in any custom ROM. I know the features that present in every custom ROMs but I can't figure out which unique feature will I miss from Oxygen OS.
Nothing
You'll lose face unlock. I haven't found one yet that has it
You'll miss the following things:
1.Proper refresh rate switching
2.Reliable fp
3.OIS
4.Pro mode
5.48 mp
6.Portrait.
7. Fix for wide angle distortion
8. Noise reduction
9. Good battery life
10. Stability
Don't bother flashing custom ROMs if you need everything working and want peace of mind. Sure you can use gcam on custom ROMs but that still doesn't fix OIS, pro mode,48 mp and wide angle distortion
You'll lose stability. There are no proper Custom ROMs for this device yet.
Besides, OxygenOS already feels like a very stable custom rom so why bother anyway?
Just flash beta if you're really itching to try something "new".

Thanks all for the answers. I've been using custom ROMs (even developed a few) since the decade old Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus, and I always preferred those with both feature rich and similar to stock Android. The Oxygen OS is very well polished, stable and looks very similar to the stock Android, and since I started using my OnePlus 7T I even forgot about custom ROMs. After reading your points I think it is better to stay away from custom ROMs. If this was a few years ago I wouldn't have a second thought, I'd definitely try them. Don't know what is pulling me back (age ??). Anyways thank you all again.

I bought a OnePlus device because I thought I'll be flashing a lot of ROMs and kernels like my Nexus devices.
It turned out to be quite different since there's not even an official TWRP (yet).
Don't even bother, I have tested all available custom roms and returned to stock after a week of use. When you flash custom rom, at first looks like a refreshment, something different, but after a few days of use, you will notice problems (bugs). On one of the custom roms, my phone just shut it self, an I was not able to boot anymore. So, Oxygen is still the best, fastest and most stable. I think that One Plus has the best software on the market, and because of that, it was my choice

Yes I have tried all of them! And doesn't matter which custom rom, OOS is hard to beat this time.
Combined with Arters kernel you will get the best battery results! On custom rom you could only dream about it.
Im a guy who always flash custom roms, but this time i'll stay on oxy. Treskmod is a great alternative, but you won't get same SOT as OOS + arter.

That's what I think the reason for me not rooting as well. Age and new edition of kids...twin boys to be exact in my life. And raising them alone is the biggest so time if a factor. I will admit I miss a few things which require root like ad adaway, Viper mod, various simple edits like turning on features like caller ID and other little stuff, and prob a few other things. But it is what it is. I bet sports using a app from Station Casinos in Vegas and the app will not work it won't let you sign in with dev options unlocked and I have a feeling it will def not if root in enabled. I'd have to decompile the app and figure out where the controller is for that and changed it but after I do that it will prob get updated like always happens and have to do it again so I'm just riding stock but I can't lie the itch is strong!

Yeah,if someone still needs to try out custom ROM, definitely try AOSiP and treskmod. Treskmod will give slightly lesser battery life than OOS/AOSiP tho. And don't expect PA for 7t to materialize,that herna dude has ruined PA for both 7t and overall.

You are a legend. I remember your work... Maybe One Plus 7t is not so lucky.
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.
Been trying to figure this out for a while now. I want a ROM with comparable performance, features, and battery life to that of OOS.

Best is subjective because everyone has a different taste. the best thing is if you look at the roms that are available for the 9p yourself and test them
I've tried quite a few times, and am currently on Nameless A13. A lot of features from OOS haven't been ported just yet, but A12 Nameless had quite a few things there. Don't know if you'll ever get a full OOS experience on any of the custom roms.
As far as performance and battery life, Nameless has been the best. Far better than OOS 12 or 13. Customization varies between roms with CRDroid seeming to have the most customizations. I just prefer Nameless because it seems the most close to stock it terms of interface, without all the bloat. It's all preference though. If you want stability, A12 roms are probably your answer for now until the 13 roms catch up. But if you want the latest and greatest, you could try a 13 custom rom.
In my opinion, better A12.1 is ancient os and better A13 tequila os.

Tequila is great! I just prefer Nameless because of the default OP camera and seems to have more support and updates
Oc....nameless is great, but battery Life is worst than tequila to me.
Oss cam are great but with gcam and a good config file i take better pics than oss cam.
I was on CrDroid since I bought phone in summer. After trying OOS13 beta I went back to CrDroid but I had issues with fingerprint since then. Whenever I needed it I had to restart phone to get it work.
Now I am on Nameless since A13 and I can recommend it. No issues with it whatsoever.

Could you list the important OOS 13 features missing on CrDroid? I'm trying to decide whether to switch.

As it's been a while since I had flashed that rom, so I'm not quite sure what they have in there now. I know they do have the OOS Cam, though. Some features are in there that I remember, but sort of just rebranded. Here are the list of CRDroid features from their GitHub:

I'm currently on latest Nameless 12, & sticking on it for a while.
it got the best of pixel features, while retaining oneplus specific features that we love.
Tried Nameless 13 when it was released, but downgrade cuz A13 still a bit buggy.
