Best santoni ROM for reliable daily use? AICP? AEX? LOS? Stock?

Hi,
there are so many ROMs for santoni and I don't know which to use. I want to use the ROM on my main phone as a daily driver so stability is most important and I don't want to experiment.
I once used RR-Luis v5.8.5 which I really liked but it had some issues so I switched to Xiaomi.eu which I have been using ever since. Unfortunately since my last update the phone completely freezes every 2-3 days which is really annoying and furthermore there will be no MIUI 11 (don't know why).
So now I am considering waiting for 2 more months for Stock MIUI 11 Global ROM or switching to a good custom ROM. But which custom ROM would be best?
I really don't need much:
ROM must be stable.
Everything must work (including all sensors, BT, Wifi, Fingerprint etc.).
Camera2 API must work for GCam Mod.
Encryption must work.
Good Battery Life (possibility to block all the sh***y needless Wakelocks while keeping the needed ones would be great).
ROM must not be abandoned or EOL.
ROM must not be some small project with only half developer.
Customizing is nice, but stability is more important.
I am thinking about AICP, AEX or just LOS 16. Which of them is most stable/reliable?

I am using AEX since 10 September
AEX is stable and everything works fine
for GCAM i am using the arthur's 3.5.2
earlier i was using pixel experience
i used that for 2 months. but now it's discontinued.

Do you need to make full reinstall of AEX with every update? Or does dirty update work fine? Because at the related thread they recommend a clean install for updates.

I have been using latest AEX for a few weeks/months? and it is quite OK (although there are some problems with GPS and tonight my battery was completely drained). Unfortunately this is discontinued. Havoc OS and Pixel Experience seem to be maintained, but they are already based on Android 10 and my Goodix fingerprint sensor will not work. Not sure which ROM makes most sense at the moment.

What is goodix?

Santoni has two different fingerprint sensors: either FPC or Goodix. AFAIK only FPC works with Android 10 based ROMs at the moment.

Hi all,

In your opinion, which is the most stable rom based on 11 have you tried?
Thank you all in advance.

If you need a stable daily driver, I can only advise you to stay on Android 10 until 11 gets out of alpha phase.
Slowly features will come to 11, of which you for now will probably miss one or another in comparison to your Android 10 ROM also.
Switching to a ROM in such an early stage isn't something I would generally advise against.
If you are willing to accept bugs and can live with a minimum of features, installing and reporting about alpha / beta builds will immensely help development.
But you said you need a stable daily driver, so, yey.

So, custom rom with Android 11 aren't stable?

Well, in the first phase of a new android release all ROMs
- Are basically the same (pure aosp with different branding)
- Have no additional features to pure aosp
- Will have many issues to sort out in general and for the respective device (like bugs, fast draining, random reboots, inconsistencies across versions).
- Might conflict or not be fully compatible with third party software (gapps, Magisk, any random app).
Any of these points might be the case still, so I wouldn't advise anyone expecting a stable daily driver to use android 11 for now.
None of these points has to apply though, as time for development passes.
If you want to urgently try out an 11 ROM and you don't heavily depend on your phone's functionality, why not do it? I also did it (and moved back to 10).
The question anyone should ask him- or herself though is: Which advantages do you expect from it?
That is, other than a higher version number...

Thank you for all those informations. I was hoping Android 11 would bring more functionality, stability and smoothness, but it seems to me rather the opposite. There is also no more security patch for Android 10 looks like. Everyone is working on Android 11.

What I'm saying isn't android 11 specific, but counts for every instance in which a new android release comes out.
It has been the same with android 6 and 7, then with 7 and 8 and so on.
Android 11 might bring functionality, stability and smoothness. But it is too early in development to expect all of this just yet, is all I'm saying.

Someone made a magisk flashable zip for color os for AA to work in op9 pro tg thread a long time ago will try to hunt it down. Are you rooted?

@Serjgor
If you are rooted you can try this it is not my work and was made for op9pro color os android 12 don't know how dated it is.
What he did was pull the files in the module from oxygen os if I remember correctlyif it doesn't work I can try to pull those files from my system eu oos 12 op10pro and repack a new magisk module for you. This one won't work on mine it's in a different location. Pulling and making a new one.
Re-uploaded with location from op10 pro oos. Please try

Question What's the most stable and least problematic custom ROM for SPES?

HI all, what do y'all think is the most stable and least problematic among all the custom ROMs for SPES? I'd like to know 'coz I'm tired of backing up my files and switching to other ROMs when there's something wrong with my current ROM, thanks!

In my case it is Evolution X (both Android 12 and Android 13) for a simple reason:
It is one of the few ROMs that has solved a bug with the Goodix fingerprint readers, which is that it does not let the screen turn off correctly, since it takes the FP as a button. Well, I know that Pixel Experience also solved it but I had a bad experience with that ROM.

Used Pixel Experience for 2 months. It's smooth
Been using Evolution X for a week, my only complaints are some bugs like fingerprint not working until I unlock the phone on some instances
Planning to move to CrDroid sometime next week tho, idk I'd recommend use them all and decide what you should use

Well, then back to official MIUI I suggest. Nobody can assess what "something wrong" means to you. Rom development is an ongoing process, bugs happen. For some a (slightly) lower sot is "wrong" for others the gaming performance is "wrong". I find this kind of questions difficult since more people want just ready to use roms without the more or less hassle that may come with software in development from and for the community and developed by learning hobby developers, enthusiasts or semi professionals or as often seen tech students. This is not how this all here works. I'm using pa sapphire beta for weeks now, which definitely has its pros and cons (for example). But I'm cool with it since it's stable in case of random reboots and its overall performance (nearly no sudden performance drops in general usage). Where for others the small hiccups it has are unacceptable I'm clearly happy with it (until another interesting rom or update comes up ). Long story short, it depends on what "something wrong" means individually since there are several stable and 'well performing' projects out there. Cheers

Till now the most stable rom is undoubtedly crDroid 8.8 or 8.9 Android 12... You should give a try

I actually was on cdDroid since 8.7 but then 8.9 has the goodix bug, which made the phone incredibly annoying to use, so I tried Evolution X on Android 13 and its stable, for now, but I'm probably gonna get back to crDroid when the goodix bug will be fixed.

Too bad,

I'm using crDroid 8.9 (Android 12) right now and I would say it's far the most stable ROM i have used on this phone

I tried all of them from XDA and out of XDA, from the lot of available ROMs, the simpler, less customizable seems to run smoother than all the rest, PixelOS v13 takes the credit. I personally prefer something more customizable, and the better for that is AncientOS-Shield, of course, it could have its cons, as the battery consumption within other things, so, finally, you'll find that you should give it a try in your own, the experience from others also can help you, to decide, not to use it, but to try it (or not)

For Me PPUI 4.8. Most Stable & Simple.

Question Android 12L vs Android 13, which is the best to day of today, October 2022,

Which is the best in performance, battery, stability for the Redmi Note 10 pro? 12, 12L or 13?
I come from Miui and wanted to try AOSP roms, what do you advise me?
I seek balance between performance and customization.
I wanted to know advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Thanks in advance.

Participate please.

Android 13 is pretty good, though I like 12/12L because of MIUI cam being ported to those ROMs

Personnaly, I'm always looking to the future. That's why I prefer use Android 13.
I used crDroid 8 (A12) for months as daily driver and it was working fine, except mic problems in the beginning.
Since no A13 version of crDroid is announced to date or in development and I wanted to migrate to A13, I searched something else.
I’m now using ProjectElixir 3.2 (Android 13) as daily driver.
Why ?
It's the third rom A13 I found on XDA with Arrows and Evolution a few time after the last Google’s release.
I installed and tested those 3 roms and I decided to remain using ProjectElixir.
It's just a question of personal taste.
In any case I will not come back to A12 because each new version of Android contains novelties.
And further I will not spend time trying all existing roms.
My phone is the Redmi Note 10 Pro.
