Yeah, as I said on the other thread, it's just CM with an MI Launcher. Don't mislead people. Peace.

Edit : sorry .. so called miui ROM
Yes, this is misleading!!! Please change the title.

Well, he's just changed build.prop and added mi apps and told it's a miui rom.
Custom rom is a much harder work frnd. Not discouraging you but learn first n den implement. Theming is a core part of custom rom which is missing from ur roms. Take it positively and come up with something better next time.:good:

[ROM][7.1.2] LineageOS for microG [Kenzo/Kate] [24-11]

This is not my work!!!
Here you can find all about this new great ROM:
https://lineage.microg.org/
LineageOS unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation.
Here you can find the Kenzo-version: https://download.lineage.microg.org/
Is this rom will save much more batteries?
And why is it 7.2.1?
Are we able to use regular custom kernel like elementalX, radon, etc?
Thanks!

Hahaha, the battery situation is subjective and depends on your use.
It's 7.1.2 "7.2.1" is just a typo
It's regular lineage with built in micro G so besides that there's not a whole lot of things that set it apart from the official LOS, so any kernel will be ok
Typo fixed Why you will use an other kernel?
This was shared in here before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/help/googless-lineage-t3672727
Also you shouldnt open threads in development section for the roms which is not specific for kenzo. You should share them in other sections. I didnt report tho, just saying.

What are the Best Roms with no Issues for the Mi Max 2?

What are some good roms for the mi max 2 thats not MIUI with NO issues. And one with the ability to install Substratum?
The stable ROMs from MIUI are the only one with NO major Issues. And none of them support Substratum yet. There are some custom ROMs, but they are not Stable, most of them are on Beta/developer ROM.

Appreciate the link but this theme is in chinese. If I get this phone it'll be for the global version since I'm in USA. Will; this theme be in english?
Other than that MIUI is soooo outdated looking. It looks as outdated as win 95. Very disappointing.
The theme will be in whatever language your phone is.
I don't know which version of MIUI you are looking at, but it has come a long way. It's not as bad as it used to be and in terms of design it doesn't look outdated at all except for the ugly icons, which you can easily change. The Themes app allows for a lot of customization which on stock Android can only be done on a rooted phone, too.
Anyway, I still prefer stock Android over MIUI as well, but before Lineage OS is stable enough for me, I'll have to stick to MIUI. These are my settings in the themes app to make it look more like stock Android and darkish enough for me:
Lock Style: Default
Status Bar: Clean
Icons: Limitless
Messaging: Default
Dial Pad: Simple & Clean UI
Favourites Tray: Default

I'm on the "Global" version of the phone there are plenty of dark themes available in english, visit the themes sub-section on the official MIUI forums at http://en.miui.com/forum-7-1.html and take a look for any that take your fancy... On a side note there are way to many iPhone themes there,,,
i can highly recommend lineage os 14.1 currently the most stable and bugfree non-miui custom rom based on android 7.1.2 with october security patch. very fluid, performant, battery friendly with lots of settings, options, customizations.
have been running it on my mi max 2 ever since i got the phone and very happy with it

None.
Yet.
At least, according to your criteria. Especially the "NO issues" part. (Current LineageOS for Mi Max 2 still has some issues - for e.g. IR does not work yet.)

That's the only issue (usless one)
IR has probably been fixed by now, it's just a matter of time until xuefer posts his updated build here. There are devs actively working on Lineage based builds for the Max 2, I'd say a couple more weeks until we start seeing more ROMs here.

[Blind Builds] [Cepheus] My own builds for Cepheus [Pie]

Hello all , I have decided to build different Roms for our device. The main goal is to show mainly upcoming or WIP roms in order to attract these devs to build for our device. If you want any of these roms to be official or 100% maintained I will be glad to do this , I have a really fast build machine (builds in less than 1:30 hours).

Tried it.... Brightness is really broken.... Need a fix.... And sound cracks....
