hey guys at present I'm using my a2 On Official Android One Rom With Bootloader unlock (camera2api) Enabled. Some Users Say that Android one rom is laggy And lot's of bugs. So I want You To suggest Me What Should I Do? Install A Costom rom On my device like (Pe or something else) Or Stay With Android One?
I recommend Pixel Experience CAF version. I'm currently using that since I got fed up with Android One updates. I have been on custom ROMs for quite some time actually. CAF version supports OTA so you don't have to flash it again with every update, camera2api is already enabled and there is a MIUI camera included, but you'll have to find a working GCam yourself though. I haven't actually experienced any bugs for now but people say there are few and those will be fixed in the next update.
Edit: Just to add a few reasons why I am against Android One since you wrote that some users reported issues with stock but not you yourself.
It all started with the September update(if I recall correctly, or maybe even earlier). The bug present in that update made the faster CPU cores lock up at maximum frequency if the fingerprint sensor is used which drained battery really quickly. It took them like 1-2 months to fix that one. Then came Pie update, a lot of stuff stopped working. The storage for some reason got really slow and clearing large app cache(especially Chrome cache) would freeze the device or even make it reboot. This is the issue they STILL haven't fixed.
With January 2019 update a lot of devices went into bootlops and got bricked. February update changed contrast of the display and made everything really bright, definitely brighter than it should have been. Now they fixed that issue in March update BUT the update bootloped/bricked some more devices again so they pulled it. Their updates have really become a joke, which is why I'm all for custom ROMs. Definitely more stable than stock.

If you are flashing Pixel Experience you don't need to flash GApps, the rest is the same from the guide.

Hi Guys,
I am currently on official ROM on my Redmi 4X. I want to install custom ROM. I want stability and security
Could someone please suggest the best ROM I should opt for ?
Android 9 based ROMs are more stable than Android 10 but that doesn't meant Android 10 ROMs are not much stable but Android 9 may not have latest security patch. it depends upon your need.
I would suggest you for Havoc OS both based on Android 9 and Android 10.
Just last month Redmi 4X got 4.9 kernel and many Android 10 ROMs started supporting it which is great. in my opinion you should give it a try on latest Havoc OS.
If you want a custom roms for a daily use then Lineage os 16 is the answer. Yes Los dosnt have any "awesome" extra feature but it is very stable and secure. Another good rom for daily use is Pixel Experience.
The two rom I mention may not offer crazy customization, awesome "extra features" or the most up to date kernel (4.9) but for daily usage they are the best imo.
I use Los 16 with no root (22 april build), its clean, light and quick. Most importantly I'm lucky enough to pass the safetynet with it so I can use my device for banking, pokemon go, netlflix, snapchat and many others.
Edit:
FYI if you want to use a custom rom you must prepare yourself to not be able to use banking app. Even if you dont root your device you may not be able to pass the safetynet on a custom rom. Safetynet is what google use to check wheter your device is "safe" or not. Of course you can find a some workaround to "bypass" the safetynet but I wouldn't recommend you to do it because it may pose a security concern.

Really appreciate your suggestion.
I also narrowed down to Linage OS 16 and pixel experience ROM. I have some follow up question:-
1- You mean other custom ROMs may not be able to pass the safety net. But linage OS 16 able to pass safety net, right?
2- I saw official page but not thread on XDA for official linage OS 16? You directly refereed to official page?
3- Have you tried latest (10th June) build of Linage 10 OS?
3- I want Android pie based Pixel experience ROM which I suppose is more stable then Android 10 based. But on official page it have only android 10 based download link. Could you pls share the download link for android pie based ROM ?

1. No, most rom "should" be able to pass the safetynet if you don't root it. But.. it doesnt mean 100% you can pass. Even if you use the same rom as me it doesn't mean you'll pass. In the end it all boils down to "how and what u use" to flash the rom and luck. Im speaking from personal experience. Not long ago in another device, I changed to a custom rom and I cant pass the safetynet even tho I dont root it.
Fyi I just changed to Pixel Experience plus in my redmi 4x and I'm still able to pass the safetynet. It's luck really.

Sorry I didnt see question 3 n 4...
3. Yes I tried the 10th june build of Los 16 before switching to pe plus (android 10). The 10th june build as far as I'm aware of is almost the same with the 22th april build. It just have the newest security update and under the hood improvements.
I have 2/16 redmi 4x with goodix fingerprints. I dont have any fingerprints issue with the newest official pixel experience plus. I have tried other android 10 custom roms briefly and I dont see any issue with fingerprints. Ironically when I installed Los 16 (22 april build) my finger print dont work, I restored my persist backup to fix it. No matter what dont forget to back up everything.
I dont have official pixel experience pie. But I do have an unofficial pixel experience plus pie(android 9), I have not tried this rom yet but If you want I can share it.

There were issue with Goodix fingerprint sensor but as far as i remember it's been solved. my device has FPC fingerprint sensor so had no such issues.
I haven't seen anyone complaining about fingerprint sensor in recent few weeks so i can say it is working fine.
If there is any ROM specific issue with fingerprint that someone talking then i don't know because currently i am on Havoc 2.9 and since last week i haven't checked respected ROMs threads and its discussions as i was busy.
4.9 Kernel been added to Redmi 4X which is greatest thing ever could have happened with device, actually i wasn't expecting it as Redmi 4X is almost a 3 years old device.
4.9 kernel improves overall performance of device and basically you can expect even longer support for Redmi 4X in the future.

After trying PE for a few days here is what I have to say about it
Pros:
- as expected, it has more features than Los
- google assistant is quite usable
- surprisingly I don't see much difference in battery life compared to lineage os.
- overall it's pretty good and stable ROM
Cons:
- now I'm using havoc os because it can't read my third Sim card(it can read my other two just fine)
- Small font, the biggest font size it has is still smaller than the default font size in LOS. This issue affects me pretty heavily because I do hours of reading in my phone. In Los I can read for whole days without problems. But in PE after only reading for few hours I'm already at my limit.
Summary: PE is pretty good. But unfortunately it can't read one of my sim.
Additional info:
Using Lineage is will encrypt your phone, if you have decrypted your device, flashing Los will automatically encrypt it. Some twrp or other custom recovery can't read encrypted phone.
I use this lovely unofficial twrp by pranaya 2005, the maintainer of Pixel Experience for santoni. MOD EDIT: Telegram link removed, please read the STICKY!
If you have encrypted device, your phone will ask for password. Most android 9 Roms don't ask for password. Most android 10 Roms (pixel experience, havoc) ask.
To fix this issue just go to twrp -> wipe-> format data.
It'll decrypt your device but remember to backup everything cause it'll wipe all data on your device.

Hi,
I finally decided to go with official lineage OS 16.1. Can you pls check me steps? Because, I am hearing lot about persist backups? fingerprint issue etc.
How to take persist backup?
Should I also take ROM backup using TWRP?
1- Unlock boot loader using official Mi software.
2- Flash recovery to TWRP
3- Wipe everything
4- Install ROM
5- Install Gapps

Yup...
0. Pick a day where you're absolutely sure you wont need to use your device for a whole day.
1. Unlock bootloader (I unlock my device unofficially cuz I hate waiting period. But I still recommend you to do it the official way).
2. Flash twrp (or any other custom recovery you like)
4. Back up everything via custom recovery. It may take up to 11 gb of storage so make sure you have more than enough free storage in your external sd card. If you dont have enough storage just backup everything except system partition which take a LOT of storage.
5.PRAY TO GOD
5.1. Use lucky charm(s)
5.2. - 5.9. Do everything you think may help with ur luck
6. Wipe Everything
7. Flash rom & gapps(if it isnt included in rom).
9. Reboot.
10. Enjoy... or not.
Note:
- it is what it is. Do it at your own risk.
- if ur fingerprint dont work and nothing happens even tho youve restored your persist back up. Go to thread about Los 16 fingerprind doesnt work created by me, there I gave link to a solution that works for my device.
- If 30-60 minute passes n ur phone hasnt boot then your phone maybe stuck in a bootloop. Go to twrp and reflash or try another rom. For me it usually takes less than 10 minutes to boot.
- if ur phone suddenly dies n you cant boot, fastboot or go to recovery. First, calm down. Take the back of the phone off carefully (you dont want to accidentally tore the fingerprint cable off). Try disconnect your battery from the phone n reconnect it. Then try go to fastboot or recovery.
- if reconnecting the battery dont work use edl mode (just search for edl mode redmi 4x for a guide).
- If edl mode dont work go to phone service. If they cant fix it just buy a new phone.

which havoc os version you are using on redmi 4 ?
I Am facing lot of problems with custom Rom such as usb not connecting to pc,middle touch not functioning , calls not working . I've done factory reset my device and everything working fine except phone not connecting to pc.
I don't know how i am possibly going to unlock bootloader it it's not going to connect pc.
i've updated pc driver and work through all solution, i think the problem is with miui stock rom 11 update as the same issue is posted on other threads.
I'm afraid I will also need to switch to a Custom ROM sooner or later, although my experience with santoni Custom ROMs was not too good. There was always something broken - be it Deep Sleep, GPS fix or fingerprint sensor.
At the moment I am trying to decide between
Resurrection Remix 8.6.x (Android 10)
Havoc OS 3.8 (Android 10)
AICP 15.0 (Android 10) - although an older version ~1 yr ago did not work too well
LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9)
and don't know what to choose. Stability and battery runtime are most important, I also need some basic customization, but no senseless bulls**t like animated unicorns running over the screen or things like that.
Which of the beforementioned work(s) well?
If someone still reads this...
I've tried RR and Havoc. I liked both and did not find any major bugs during my short tests, but the fact that full device encryption did not work is a big no-go.
Now I'm on LineageOS 16.0 official (with older Android 9) and despite the fact that there could be some more features and customization possibilities I am very satisfied with stability and performance. Encryption worked when formatting userdata with OrangeFox-R11.0_0-Stable-santoni and afterwards using OrangeFox-R10.0_3-Stable-santoni.
Hey there. i have a s20 fe 5g (snapdragon, model SM-G781B), galaxy s8 (exynos), ans galaxy tab A 7.0 2016. Right now I managed to install Android 13 (Lineage OS 20 + NikGapps + Magisk for safetynet) on my backup s8 aswell I managed to flash Lineage os 14 (Android 7, along with Gapps) on my galaxy tab A. Im wondering to do the same about my S20 FE 5G since its support is unfortunately about to end. Thought of flashing TurboUI after i would unlock my device but just want to confirm its safe before doing so. What you guys think? Many thanks.

Hello
This will depend on what use you will give it.
Apparently you are not interested in any of the OneUi customization layer, nor Samsung Dex.
Personally, I am not interested in lineageOS or any rom that is not based on OneUi.
well with many errors, be fighting with incompatibility.
you will find GSI, Lineageos, etc.
I preferred stock rom with modified kernel, androd 13 will not stop working in 2023,2024,2025, etc.
I don't see the importance of moving to an invented and beta system for the team, at least at present.
You will find among the best options:
*stock,root,kernel(bandit,klimbo,etc)
*Turboui v4
*GSI.

Rn my S20 FE 5G is at binary 5. I dont care about rollbacking because i do like the latest verisons and have no use to move onto earlier versions. I just wonder if binary 5 would only limit me to this android 13 one ui 5.1 (like if i couldnt install an android 13 or even a future android 14 rom only because of binary 5). Would it be safe to switch to a custom rom that has the same patch and the same android version without binary 5 doing mess there (like i want to install the latest turboUI at one ui 5.1 may patch, is that possible?)
Rn the device is at may security update, I hope it solved this problem so I could safely move to custom rom without further issues. If I had screwed please let me know as possible to I could reconsider before doing so avoiding further damage. And yeah I have checked OEM unlock and it appears so i believe no issues should occur, just should factory reset (among with removing samsung and google accounts before doing so), enable debugging and oem unlock, go to download mode and then unlock bootloader, and then flash twrp and then whatever i think so.
And yeah I prefer one UI over stock android however the latest custom one ui version for s8 was only one ui 2.5 (hades rom) and no one even dares to make a new one for it, is just dead there. I felt urged to install android 13 so i had no choice but to flash LineageOS 20 (along with nikgapps and magisk). Meanwhile the S9 can get even one ui 5.1 ported via noble rom. I wish something would be done despite being 3 years already since.
But still I won't have prob flashing kernels instead of custom roms if so. Thank you very much.
Alright, just managed to install TurboUI without issues and against all odds.
I was worried because the new binary would mess there but still I managed to do it without issues, and I feel grateful for it
Speechless.
I can't appeal your urges to desperately switch roms.
reading the previous thing you wrote, I have nothing more to say.
If you have errors in the future, please go to the appropriate channels, (turboui, gsi tem, etc.)
Thus, avoid publications due to user errors without investigating before installing.
excellent day.

Alright, have to admit, learnt the hard way
there is SEVERE lack of custom roms there. The lineage OS cant mix with gapps and the custom one ui rom drains battery faster. I had no choice to revert to stock rom. I downloaded its firmware of april patch. Flashed it using Odin and it worked successfully!
You can call me an idiot for the rest of my life as you wish, i had should considered before doing so. Anyways I feel grateful for restoring its rom. But anyways if I would need safetynet I would welcome myself to do so.
I should learn more before installing these stupid roms. Maybe i will continue flashing on S8 but i wont longer flash on S20 FE since that incident. (And noice, the software firmware not matching, aka red message on bot disappear!)
If you have any suggestions youre welcome to tell me so, sorry for not beliving you at first. I should owe you everything
Have a nice night, ig, and I should learn much from that
I understand your inspiration to improve performance.
I've been doing this from symbian (nokia, sony ericcson, palm, blackberry, ios)
current times are not the same.
we are with more powerful processors.
larger and faster ram memories.
Over the years it took me to understand that it is currently not necessary to change the rom.
Example: you are with a s20 FE android 13, it is a completely current system, recently released last December.
I would not have to go to lineageOs, why?
Why did android 14 come out for lineageOs?
I'll have to break down my s20, of course not.
Seeking to get the most out of Oneui with a kernel that exploits its characteristics and without system bugs, seems to me to be a more suitable option.
When it is 2026 or 2027 see GSI options would be a good option.
repeat again, it is a personal thought, for so long I learned, to free myself from stress and constant mistakes.

Alright, just finished relocking my bootloader. Yeah, no more software updates but I can still download them online, and they are security updates so i guess not really a big loss because no more OS updates (One ui 5.1 is final!). Still I HAVE to learn from this incident onwards, maybe on 3 years whenever the device would be too old like the s8 only then i would reconsider doing so. But for now I would stay with this stock rom and I would keep updating it time to time as needed. Everyone makes mistakes anyways. And yeah bank apps continue to work despite device not being play certified, so I guess no root and safetynet would be required. Still, Im very sorry for now trusting you, and I would from now reconsider what Im doing. Lets hope it wont happen even again, peace
Edit: Also managed to get OTA updates and play certification back after relocking it, noice, updating to may patch shortly after recovering my data

I understand
my team is a:
G781B Oneui 5.1 patch February binary 4.
I'm in stock, recovery, no encryption, root, kernel Klimbo or bandit.
I am more than satisfied.
a kernel that delivers power, overclock, etc.
For games it is plenty, for daily use it is wonderful.
Sorry if my previous translation sounds harsh.
Only that I currently install several roms, kernels, graphic drivers, etc.
they only cause bugs.
If you are looking for something stable I recommend stock and what I mention.
greetings.
In banking matters, there are modules for magisk, they worked for me.

Yeah as I relocked my bootloader play certification and ota updates came back
No longer trusting those BS roms, only losers would do so. That rom has drained me much battery and only let me charge at 3W (Yeah I have charger with display, and this occured in real life!)?! What a BS rom tbh! The only positive point I managed to find was the Google feed, but who would burn their battery away just for google feed?! After reflashing stock rom much better!
Very important thing to consider if you even think about flashing a custom rom on your S20 FE 5G. DONT DO IT, YOU WOULD REGRET IT SHORTLY.
I have unlocked bootloader and OEM root.
Even so, I get updates that obviously I will not update.
The last strong update was 5.1 in February. We will not have 6.0, there is no point in updating.
I can go back from android 13 to 12 and 11. Is it necessary? No, but I have the option.
greetings.

In the end security updates should protect us from any kind of exploits, including dangerous ones
But as the devices continues to discontinue (I mean, from october 2023 will start Quarterly updates and year later fully discontinued, the point would of course rise again. But until this happens the custom roms have a chance to delelop as time is going, and if there wont be atleast 1 GOOD custom rom, whats the point to attempt to flash a human managed ROM just to later report bugs to them, impacting your daily basis and ect?
After the last security update on about 2024 I believe custom roms would have chance to rise again, just like it was with the S8. S8 ROMs are better than the S20 FE 5G's ones. I need this time to let the custom roms develop, and once they are developed enough I would reconsider on installing one.
Until then, good luck

I understand you.
The people who have the time to try the roms are appreciated and they are the ones who help the development.
in 2018 i had s9 snapdragon 845.
I was on oneui 2.5 android 10.
in your case you acquired s9 exynos. a jewel to know that note 10 lite would carry android 12 and 13.
They gave me an A7 2017, said note 10 lite managed to port oneui 2.5 android 10 (official was in 8.0 oreo)
I'm assuming your s9 runs android 13.
only that samsung Dex and iris lose or am I wrong?
Anyway, for day-to-day use, having the s9 with android 13 is great.
Yes, the roms for the s8 will be better, because the years have passed and the project is more mature.

I never had a s9 but I have a s8. The only problem with the S8 was that its latest One UI Rom is only maxed at One Ui 2.5 (Android 10, Hades ROM). Thats the only main one UI port available. You want to upgrade software? flash lineageOS then! Pretty dissapointing S8 only supports One UI 2.5 max meanwhile S9 supports one ui 5 max. And note 10 lite doesnt have as many custom roms as the S9. So just like the s8 got locked at one ui 2.5, the s9 would also lock at one ui 5? and after getting locked would the s9 users be forced to install stock android, just like on the case of the S8 users which the same happened to them earlier?

In the case of the s8 it is to be in 2.5 with android 10.
is a candidate for lineageos or gsi.
the exynos s9 will have up to oneui 5.1 ported from note 10 lite.
remember that originally it would be in 2.5 android 10.
you can still live with the s9 with note lite size on android13.
or at best go to s20 fe
Alright, an update after a while
Managed to successfully resolve the issue with Samsung health not working: I have installed a patched version and it's working like new. Just to note I shouldn't update it in any case. The only question is if it would sync with the watch. I mean it already can sync with the account, but I would to test it with the watch too. If everything is going fine I have no prob returning to Samsung. The fact I even didn't had to root to install modules only to patch this issue was wonderfull.
About secure folder and Samsung pass I don't care anymore about them and I had barely used them too, and I have no issue leaving them alone. Instead of secure folder I can use Google photo's safe to store my naughty photos, and about Samsung pass I can use Google passwords instead. Galaxy wearable has worked from day 1 since the issue no matter the incident.
This is a big lesson for my ass, and I shall be smart before doing naughty things like this again. Kids, please learn from me and don't be a stupid guy like me.
