Purchasing Mi 5 for Custom Roms?

Hi all,
I really like the look of the Mi 5, but have been reading of various bugs and poor battery life on custom roms. Just wondering what the consensus is on buying this phone with the explicit purpose of flashing it over to Lineage or and AOSP based rom. Cheers

Hii Joseph
Even though its a great device, custom rom support for mi5 is really poor. Buy nexus/ pixel or oneplus 3 since they got great custom rom support.

Marshmallow ROMs are absolutely fantastic and bug free. It's the nougat ROMs that are buggy.
I'd say buy it and manage on marshmallow until nougat gets better.

I must say that even the latest unofficial LineageOS 14.1 build is more stable than MIUI8 ever was for me (Yes, I'm aware that MIUI8 isn't stable either, but it has a few months head start in beta). But yes, if LTE B20 isn't a requirement (no info on when/if that'll be cracked), then absolutely.

LineageOS on my mi5 is almost as good as on my Nexus 5.

RR is an amazing ROM for the Mi5. At the moment I started using it, I was amazed. It has great performance and tons of custom features.

Yep is no need to install cm[lienageOS] becouse when you buy Xiaomi, you do it for miui os. Which is verry modified system with a lot of ability and funcionality.

Using this topic as an oportunity to ask to those who uses Custon ROMs is any camera that can be compare to MIUI official camera app? SnappCamera perhaps?

I felt no real difference between MI an the most recent LineageOSbuild. I know it's still inofficial, but I use it perfectly fine as a daily driver. Nothing to complain at all.
Most recent builds can be found on shade's mirror https://mirror.shade.sh/mi5/
bgcngm will announce official builds as soon as they are available.

I recommend to use NITROGEN OS 8.1.0 cause it´s very stable.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/rom-nitrogen-os-redmi-4xsantoni-t3738083

Ive used almost every oreo rom I dont find many difference, every rom has own features but its quite similar its my personal opinion I find all of them almost same in performance and battery backup

Sorry I can´t say. In my device before santoni I was on Resurrection Remix 5.8.5, but with santoni I wasn´t satisfied with it. So I stayed at first on Miui Xiaomi.eu 9 but not really satisfied too. With new oreo roms I changed to NITROGEN OS 8.1.0. That´s my way on santoni device...

For Oreo: Its NOS
For Nougat: It's Dot.OS

You must try Invicta OS rom, it's very smooth and stable.
Before this I tried Nitrogen OS (stable) but after reboot finger print didn't work, rest were fine.
Go ahead and try Invicta OS.

Use cardinal aosp rom. Best performance, better battery backup in comparrision of other Oreo roms.

Cardinal aosp is the best Oreo ROM for redmi 4 santoni. Everything is good in this rom. It also supports OTA updates and thanks for the developer for making an awesome rom.

Well I am using Aosp extended Oreo. Although I am facing problems with root. But the smoothness and stability is good. You won't get the same battery life as you get on miui but it's actually not bad.
You can try it out. I am quite satisfied with it but it might affect you if you need root access.

for me pixel experience.

Custom kernel for miui 10

Is there any custom kernel for miui 10? Im currently using miui.eu stable but performance leaves a lot to be desired. I have been switching from rom to rom trying to find something good. I decided to stay on miui but there are lags and poor gaming performance. I just want my phone to be smooth and some low key gaming.

is the camera crap on all custom roms?

i heard that the camera should be fine on 8.0 but it seems to be slim pickings for oreo support these days.ive tried mostly pie roms on this phone, theres a problem with camera with all of them. ive been using lineage 15.1 oreo and the camera gives almost the same amount of issues. so i guess my question is the camera just going to always give me an issue no matter the version? the lineage oreo also has been noticeably slower than the pie version

this is a same problem speak me and nothing answer, i flash-pixel-lineage the problem are always bluetooth and camera.
the only work well are the port partial xiaomi and the original

Which xiaomi port? And when you say original, do you mean stock?
The bluetooth has been working fine for me but I rarely use it. Camera has been a consistent issue

Heyyo, Google camera mods have been kinda touchy on S2, but luckily nullby has made s2 specific gcam mod ports.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-nullbytepl/
As for custom ROM support for these? You'll need either a custom ROM that has selinux enforcing policies for it like LineageOS 16.0 (which I did a crapload of work on to ensure nullby gcam mods would work perfectly on with selinux enforcing) or any other ROM port based on LOS 16.0 selinux enforcing trees. Otherwise? Any custom ROM that is selinux permissive.

I recently flashed miui and am really liking it. Enough people don't talk about the port for some reason, maybe they don't like the skin perhaps? It's been the best rom I've tried from what I remember

Which v of MIUI port r u using?
How's the Battery SOT, Stand-by Stats & GCam compared to MIUI stock Cam?
I previously ran ROS MIUI 9.3.21 ROM only to find the Camera crash while trying to take photo and Video call in WhatsApp.
Now I'm on EUI 6.0.030 by Cuoco92 & it's fine. But I'm looking for a good & stable MIUI ROM without crashes but with decent Battery stats and Camera system...
Thanks...

Question None of the CPU/GPU mods work?

I have been trying to get better performance on my Mi 11t Pro. For some reason all the kernel managers won't work the GSI's I installed weren't particularly fast (Pixel Experience and Lineage OS 19x).
I was getting 1100s on MIUI and 600s on GSI's (Geekbench 5). Similarly 740000 vs 500000 Antutu
Anyone has any setups that can improve the overall performance. (with/without ROOT and MIUI).
