Best ROM for Xiaomi MI3 - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which is for you the best ROM at this moment? I have just flashed SlimLP with Layers and seems cool! D2TW working!!

Official miui, it has no bugs at all. but i have tried different roms here, maybe the best non official is unofficial omnirom.
i wonder if the dt2w is really working, and its not eating your battery.

How about latest version?

Currently I use Official CM 12.1 and working good so far, the problem I got is, Photosphere and Panorama didn't work on Google Camera.. any clue how to fix it?
I want try PA (Paranoid Android) and still need more reference... do you have experience on it?

I saw some post regarding SOD in latest release , so i didnt tried.

My Daily Driver: AICP v10 20150809 nightly + No SIM bug fix + FM fix.
Except for the unresolved HDR bug everything works fine on this build, no issues at all.
Absolutely smooth and stable. Battery life is very good as well :thumbup:

SlimBit

I completely agree.
SlimBit is lean, stable and fast, my daily driver. So far everything works fine (expect the snapdragon camera in HDR mode, but which does???)
After using a couple of others:
MIUI6 - gorgeous design, stable, but slow, resource hungry and full of features - which I hardly need.
Ivan's AOSP 5.1.1 - fast, lean, functional. no updates and regular call drops.
MinimalOS (Bitti's) - fast, lean, functional. no updates and random reboots.

Latest official cm 12.1 is fast, stable and has amazing battery. Omnirom was my previous daily driver - also superstable. Would use miui7 just for the camera, but I cant stand the notification system...

No idea. I just flashed in extended partition. I planning to flash Alexret v6 kernel

I'm using unofficial CM by kundancool, the battery life and performance are great.

EOS is the Greatest!

For rom cook I prefer EOS, love the slide navigation.
But I am using miui7 08.28 now. Its quite stable, no lag, good battery. May be this time Xiaomi did listen to us

Mokee or Bitti's Omnirom - rock solid stable and reliable performance. Install the ColorOS camera (search xda forums) and enjoy the awesome camera.

Metallium OS R1, using for last 2 weeks without any issues. Stable, fast, smooth... Very much like Ivan's AOSP. My reliable daily driver. Love the extra number row on the default AOSP keyboard, makes typing so much easier. Only bug is the known HDR bug. One of the few ROMs which doesn't have the bottom touch bug. Exceptional battery life (both standby and SOT are great).

Totally agree.
I used miui v7 for the first time since its release. Before I was using different custom roms based on lollipop for past 6-7 months.
About MIUI 7 16.09.
I must tell you that its the best refined experience I am having since I bought this phone.
No performance lag ( not as fast as lollipop , but still its great.), No heating at all, Best bettery life ever, Best camera, Best sound.
Its not powerful in multitasking as compared to lollipop roms,, but still I couldnt find any problem on my side.
So if you are like me using custom roms for past 6 months,,, I recommend you to just try it..
You will feel good.

which :/ custom rom has good battery life more then miui7???
, as it is KitKat based it sucks isn't that smooth as lollipop xiaomi is cheating on us

About Lolipop ROMs...

Hello,
I´ve been thinking about that: Which one is better: Ressurection or NightOwn? And why?
I did a try and both seems like same! (same bugs, same layout - material design, etc...)
Maybe LL Roms could make custom roms a little bit hard to do core/visual changes, or it is just a my mistake?
You should try it first , then you can compare which is better ! Btw i prefer using nightowl for battery life [emoji106]

I have the same confusion! What bugs did you face?
They have similar issues. In latest versions there are proximity sensor issues during call, also users complain about 1080p recording not working, overheating, battery drain, etc. All bugs and solutions are in the original threads. You guys should try both of them and compare. It all depends of what you expect. Both are beta versions so bugs are expected. I have used both and I like Bauner's version a bit more, for no specific reason. I had to return to more stable rom, because I'm currently using N7000 as main phone and I need it to be stable as much is possible.
i tried both and smilar. but nightowl better battery life and smoothness. but you must try and see which one.

Currently I'm on SlimKat (4.4.4), after using NightOwl beta 9.0.1. Still facing some bugs on Lollipop roms and I find this one quite stable for now.

I sugest you go and get lanchon's kernel with the trimfix and the FP bug fix, it's the only truly stable kernel avaliable for the n7000.
Aldo, it supots trim, that helps a lot with the phone's responsiveness

Best stable ROM for mi3w

Hi,
I am using Ivan's AOSP latest build at the moment. I want to switch to another custom ROM. Which is the best ROM with high battery backup, most stable, best performance and features . Although I would appreciate some cool animations and stuff, I want the above said features as priority.
What about Mokee and cm 12.1?
Which one is better?
And suggest better options if any.
Thank you

Mokee release
PA
Try the Paranoid Android 5.1.1 by synnyG http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/cancro-t3120485
Its very stable, fast and fluid. Battery life is pretty good, able to get through a full day on regular use. Camera quality is much much better than Ivan's AOSP build, and installing the Color OS camera port is a good idea. A few bugs exists though, but for me these were negligible compared to the lollipop goodness I was getting.
1. The Audio quality through the speaker is not like stock or Ivans AOSP, I guess this is true for other Mi3 custom roms as well. You can find fixes for this, but they merely increase the volume in the mixer_paths.xml file - quality is still not at par with stock.
2. No SIM Bug. It's there for many Lollipop based ROM's. There is a simple workaround so its not much of an issue (switch on Airplane Mode before reboot to solve the issue). Fixes via flashable zip are available on XDA as well.
Overall its a great ROM and I'm using it as my daily driver after having switched from Ivan's AOSP (KK).
SlimBit-AOSP
Hi,
coming from Ivan's AOSP you could try Bitti's SlimBit AOSP, it's fast and stable. No call drops or random reboots. I can highly recommend it.
[OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1
i'm very happy with OFFICIAL CM 12.1.
i've been using it for 3 weeks and have yet to discover a single bug! not a single reboot, no SIM bug, it's great. battery life is great, at least 24h in my case. it's very smooth, too.
one of the advantages of official CM is that you get daily/weekly updates that automatically dirty flash themselves.
others are: stock android look, lots of customisations, no bloatware, beautiful and easily installable cyanogenmod themes.
#edit:
its XDA thread is the one with (by far) the most replies (almost 1'200), indicating that there is a large community behind it. many bugs are being reported efficiently and fixed. see for example its BUG PAGE.
I use aosp and it is awesome
Mokee 10/30 Release
ZERO ROM-related bugs.
did anyone try AOSP+RRO rom ?
Another vote for Mokee latest release (10/30) - rock solid performance, no errors and no headache. Xposed works fine.

yes there is one... But it doesn't have any customisatons option.. And my mobile gets easily even in moderate use..
How about Miui V7. Did you try?
I want stock like nexus.. miui lags
There were a lot of stable cm and aosp+ builds of KitKat. Download 1 of them and flash a modern kernel for lp or one of them that has KitKat support and it should work just fine. I flashed carbon rom then flashed xcelerate build 65 kernel without any issues booting or functioning. I never used it long enough to confirm random reboot was gone but as that was related to kernel issue the odds are it wasn't going to ever happen

Me too. I don't really like MIUI. Why don't you try Lollipop ROM like Blisspop. It's quite stable, no bugs, no SOD, customizable, you can use as daily ROM. I used Extended Partition, TWRP and TK Gapps.
It is better than MIUI, I think.
lollipop don't have good battery backup
this is not entirely true ... the difference is about 10 or up to 20% in favor of miui (stable) ... the latest china developer MIUI rom also suffers from poor battery life... sacrifice 1h (sot) use of the phone is quite profitable ... in my eyes.
Sot may not see a huge difference but with standby time KitKat blew lp out of the water unless you didn't flash gapps in lp. That's my opinion and experience anyway. Gapps in lollipop is always a huge battery drain I've never been able to fully control even by turning everything off in app ops and etc.

There are any issues with your configuration ?
Only real problem I seen was a slower charge and the back camera didn't work and the front camera quality was crap. If it had a working camera I would honestly still be using carbon KitKat or even pa aosp+ KitKat which didn't have the slow charging issue but didn't look as nice though either.
Sorry my quotes no longer work Tapatalk has to keep screwing up a good thing and turning it into crap
Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk
out of all the custom roms i tried, Ivan's aosp kitkat was the most stable and I had no problems with it except the capacitive button light issue which wasn't a major concern for me, for customizations xposed was my way to go. I highly recommend you to try it if stability is your concern ✌
hope this helped you

I wouldn't recommend it because the only good KitKat rom for this phone was Ivan's. Pa wasn't bad but you won't have a camera anymore. I never tested it on Ivan's but I did test it on carbon and WiFi worked fine on it if I remember correctly. The slow charging (which is fixable flashing a boot.img from a rom with faster charging) and not having a working camera kept me from keeping it. I still wouldn't recommending going to KitKat unless you can persuade a Dev to make a fully functional KitKat rom. I seen a couple devs say they would but never followed through and with all the real devs working on marshmallow your not going to see any help there.

On PA with Xcelerate, Wi-Fi didn't work and also there was frequent android.media force closes. Not with other kernels though. Camera of course doesn't work.
I didn't stayed long on the ROM. But I did got a random reboot type once (in PA the phone simply dies and u have to hard reboot). Camera doesn't work of course.
Ivan's ROM is laggy af. The scrolling is laggy everywhere and etc. I don't like the custom kernels as the phone heats (little bit less with Xcelerate). And not quite sure whether the upcoming Xcelerate build will be compatible with MIUI.
Only MIUI is the usable Kitsap ROM quite actually. Would have been cool if Xiaomi upgraded the Android version, which is not gonna happen at all IMO

Battery and speed in CM 4.4 vs 5.1 vs 6.0

Hi. i want to know where i can get best speed and battery. I want to know your experience
And please only cm stats
On 4.4.4 (kitkat based rom) I was able to get 3 days battery backup, for performance I like 6.0 stock
Just to mention I have never been able to like any Rom based on Lollipop firmware
I would say, marshmallow>Kitkat>lollipop (cm official with default kernel)
The last CM 12.1 nightlies are very stable and I get easily 4-5 hours of SoT (some users report even more 6h), which is enough for me, and I definitely can't complain about performance which is great. For me the best rom for G2 so far.
Hmm thanks you :v Waiting for more because your opinions are contradictory
Best mix of performance and battery so far: Minimal OS 5.1.1. Have to say that I haven´t checked out marshmallow til now, I´m very satisfied with this rom and don´t have a reason to change atm.
Stock marshmallow soak test is the best so far, and i´ve flashed A LOT of roms.
CM :
4.4 : I haven't tested long enough to decide on anything.
5.1 : Snapshots are really stable and pretty balanced.
6.0 : Using Vatsals Optimised Builds. Its amazing. Check his new Rom /Kernel thread for info.
I can get like 5 hours of screen on time with CM 12.1 and a nice performance
Just installed cm 12.1. It's little laggy.
Thanks for answers i will test minimal os and check Vatsals Optimised Builds (also i'll add this to the Index :v).
Waiting for more :v

You are awesome like this rom! Thanks you very very much dude. I love this rom. I can have 5 apps in background and 0 lag. When I open 3 apps on cm11 everything gets laggy and unusable. 6.0 is broken by now (apps not working)
Anyway minimal os don't have massaging app and camera xD
Its "Minimal" Os, it'll be as minimalistic as possible.
So I switched over from Vatsals Opti Cm Builds to Tamaseks Unofficial Cm 13 and I've got to say. Its kinda good. Some things good and some bad (the usual). But still its in its early stages so can't expect much from MM. Gone back to LP for now.

Best Mi Mix ROM Currently Available? (Advice)

Greetings Forums Members,
I thought I'd make a post here and get your opinions about what ROM to use. - I'm currently running Resurrection Remix from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...esurrection-remix-04-09-2017-t3587049/page420
So far everything seems to be running really well on this ROM, but before this Rom I was running Stock Rom with Marshmallow, then updated to nougat MIUI 9 or something like that and I really hated it... So I wiped, re-flashed the original Marshmallow Rom using Mi Tool. I then decided to install TWRP and Root my device and keep it on stock MM. It was really good and treated me well for the longest time. Eventually, I got bored of it and decided to try out some custom Roms.
I wanted to ask you all which Rom is currently the best Rom to use for the Mi Mix, would really appreciate some advice here. I'm mainly looking for something with good Battery Life and Fast/Smooth Rom.
- Thanks

Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed response.
I'm currently using Resurrection Remix (ROM) - What are your thoughts on that? I personally find it to be really good because of the many feature it has included in the (ROM) - For example; you can really customize the (ROM) however you see fit. I find that to be the most appealing thing about the (ROM).
I'll be sure to give some of the other (ROMS) a try before settling on this one. I have yet to transfer all my dad over anyways since I've only been testing it so far. I'd like to make sure that there aren't many flaws before I settle.

Speaker switching in phone call and proximity sensor both work better in AICP, probably not a deal breaker, weekly updates and soon Oreo which there are a couple already.

RR hasn't been updated in months and likely won't be. AICP is the closest in terms of functionality (lots of config options etc) and is still updated weekly. Also, Oreo ROMs are starting to land (finally) so you might want to try those. I just built AICP for Oreo yesterday and I'm running it now. No major issues so far.

Awesome. Thanks for your input.
I've tried several ROMs that you've all recommended except for Viper. So far in my opinion I'd have to say RR has been the best in terms of speed, reliability and battery life. However, I'd like to give Viper a try as well just to see how it is in comparison to RR.
What version is it currently and what are your thoughts on Viper ROM ?

ViperOS is dead. Hasn't been updated in months and likely never will be. Rumours of an Oreo update hang on an article/video in Brazilian (where the team lead is/was based) showing it running on some device.
If you want to stick with Nougat for now, go AICP (more configuration options) or Lineage (closer to stock AOSP). Nougat ROMs are the only ones with custom kernels as yet too.
None of the Oreo ROMs are without issue for now, although they are minor for the most part. Another 1-2 should be along soon to add to Pixel Experience/Cardinal/RR/AICP.
I'm using @gavin19 's unofficial RR Oreo ROM. Love it. There are some minor issues but they shouldn't deprive you from trying it out. I strongly recommend it

As I understand there's not going to be an official Oreo update for the Mi Mix... It sucks bit at least we have custom ROMs to make up for it and that is amazing!!!!!!!! I hope we get it working good real soon!!!!

Ya I need to try Crdroid, as I am on AICP and i havent really had any issues with that rom it works great and I can customize it like I want.
I am very excited i saw that ViperOs has figured out the Oreo 8.1 and has released a few roms, im hopeful someone will find a way to get that working for the Mi Mix!!!!
I think the best rom ever made for xiaomi mi mix is the Xiaomi.eu MIUI8 Stable v8.5.4.0
Reasons:
~ Unlike all custom roms, the miui uses the whole screen and has real rounded corners and not software made ones which makes the screen look better!
~ The MIUI 8 for MI MIX includes a gesture to hide the navigation bar and have a full screen in any app that you want, you can easly control it when ever you want, best rom for full screen exprience when ever you want! also when you do swipe to hide the nav bar the apps use the whole screen and there are no black bars! none of the custom roms have that!
~ version 8.5.4.0 has no bugs in it and has the best battery life you will ever see on the MIX
~ all Xiaomi.eu Pros and features!
~ Proximity sensor works perfectly and loud in this miui version, you cant find any custom rom that has that working perfectly these days
~ Camera is very good on the official MIUI version!
~ all the MIUI pros and features
~ NO HEAT of the phone, something that happens in a lot of custom roms I used
~ Please note that you can use MIUI9 from Xiaomi.eu if you want, but you will lose the stablity and swipe to hide the nav bar amd the phone heats a lot (but you get android 7, and all the new features) not recomended on the MIX
I have used tons of custom roms on my phone: LineageOS, RR, AICP, AOSP. AIOSP, DIRTY UNICORNS, PIXEL EXPERIENCE. none of the are as stable as that rom and I always go back to that rom.
Have a great day!

Yeah, Viper is most definitely a good Rom to use. I've used it on many other devices before and it has always performed rather well. It's a grea Rom overall and the customization is what really caught my attention. So I vote Yes, viper is indeed a good Rom to use on the Mi Mix and just about every other phone that supports it. AiCP is also a very good Rom on the Mi Mix.

I don't know man... I've never found the battery life to be good on stock ROM. I completely understand what you're saying though. However, if I'm being perfectly honest here, I wouldn't go back to using stock. Don't get me wrong it's very well-built and smooth but the battery life has always been horrible for me not sure why...

Hi Bro want to find out more from you based on your experience
I have updated to latest weely rom 9.6 - 8.5.3 but my Line ap still cannot open.
I want to go bac to stable rom as you said. What do you suggest and how to do it? I am afraid I will lose the history in whatsapp and other chat apps if clean install.

Backup & restore? Whatsapp chats and media files can be backed up to your Google drive and there are other options available for backup as well.
Same thing can be done for messages if you use the Google messenger app for texting and if not, you can still backup your messages and contacts very easily by using this 3rd party app to do so... Which uses Google drive. Also this app backs up call logs, contacts and SMS messages. App name: SMS BACKUP & RESTORE.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
As far as apps and settings go you can always just use your Google account to backup all apps/files/data if you have the option turned on in settings of course.
General SD files like media files (pics, vids, etc.) can be backed up manually using your computer and internal storage or by uploading them to the cloud... which is for free.
How to revert back to stock? There are many guides available right here on the forums, if you just take a closer look you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
