Which ROM/GSI is the most stable/works best ATM? - Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers

I'm pretty fed up with MIUI and it's limitations and I'm considering switching to a custom ROM but I'm having a hard time finding much information about how usable are the currently available releases. I've heard good things about Havoc and xiaomi.eu.
Which ones did you try and which ones are the most stable and have the most stuff working?

I am a redmi note 8 user and I personally choose xiaomi.eu over the other roms. It has more features than stock miui and it feels smoother. I don't like custom roms from xda because they are not updated regularly and have more bugs(at least for my device). You should try both although so that you choose.

I am using havocos. It is very stable. You can try that. Only screenrecorder is not working, everything else is working fine.

I use stock MIUI rom-excellent rom for my Redmi 8!:good:

Most stable and fast nougat based non-miui Rom?

I own my max2 since 1.5 years now. It is unlocked.
I use Mi globe rom which is really stable.
But with updating from miui 8 to 9, i had the feeling, that 9 is slower, than miui8 (I know that miui said it Would be faster, than 8)
Since some days, I use miui 10 now.
Also at Mi globe rom.
But the same here, miui 8 is faster than 10, too.
The newer roms based on the known devs like Lineage on Android 8 and 9 seem to have some bugs, which nobody can fix 100 %.
So this is no option to me.
So of i try another rom, it has to be based on Nougat to use All Features of my device correctly. Maybe on top with a better camera software, that doesnt autofocus permanently like in miui.
Can someone Tell me, which one, is the most stable and fastest android7 based non-miui rom? The number of roms is that much..... To much to test them all
If there is non of the ones at xda, i Would think about going back to miui8 based Mi globe rom,which i still have a nandroid Image saved
I know that security patches Would be worse then...
Thanks alot

why not just upgrade to Pie ROM? ArrowOS looks pretty awesome and stable

That's exactly what I want to know.
Imho should the developers first fix all bugs and after this is ready then going to newer Android bases, like from 8 to 9....
Only because a base version is newer, doesnt automatically mean that it is better. And more bug free.
When bugs are in elemental features like doing a phonecall, this is absolutely non accetable to me.
Hope this doesnt sound to hard, because I really appreciate the work of the devs.

really? like what? i just switched to ArrowOS and havent seen anything out of the ordinary. admittedly, only been on it for a day, but so far its stable. also keeping tabs on all the Pie ROM threads (to keep the index thread up to date ) all "bugs" reported by users so far have been due to user error, i.e. using wrong TWRP, dirty flashing, using excessive amounts of mods (substratum, magisk modules, audio enhancements, etc.).
viperOS 3.1.1 + hardrock kernel 20.2 ?
tried the 3 GHz hardrock Kernel?
Maybe a little bit too much, for the hardware
Looking for same...

Best ROM for pure android (one plus/pixel) experience

Hi everyone,
I have had a Google Nexus 5 and a one plus 3, so the experience with MIUI feels strange.
I have tried with china, global and Xiaomi EU ROMs.
I have seen here in xda a ROM call pixel experience
I wanted to know your opinion about the best option.
And this pixel experience ROM does anyone know how much time takes the updates from China ROM to be in this one? Will it work on android Q beta?
Thanks!!

MIUI is very divisive, I'm on the hate it side.
Pixel experience, as the name suggests, is a modified version of the Pixel phones ROM. So it will be more to what your used to. Personally I've never tried it, as it has too many Google apps baked in for my liking.
There's the Lineage ROM, which is also very close to a stock Android feel.
Finally, there's the Resurrection Remix ROM, which is based on Lineage but cherry picks from a variety of other ROMs to give much more customisation and features.
In time there will be a more ROMs arriving, quite possibly an Oxygen OS ROM.
All of these are based on AOSP, so have no reliance on the stock MIUI, other than for the vendor images. At the moment the dedicated ROMs are still in early development and have a few issues to iron out, mainly flaky FP sensor performance, but are stable enough for daily use.
There's also GSI ROMs too. Though these have a few extra issues over the dedicated ROMs. I'm using the Havoc GSI and the small number of issues with it don't really affect me (except the flaky FP sensor, which isn't too bad to live with)
All of these ROMs will want an official ROM installed first, before flashing, to ensure the correct vendor image is installed. I wouldn't recommend installing over the Q beta ROM directly.
Thank you very much!!! Your explanation is really helpful??

This guy @Robbo.5000 knows what he's talking about! Listen to him! Personally, I'm waiting for the OxygenOS rom considering that I've previously had a Oneplus. MIUI, is a hit or miss, in my opinion. That being said, I can live with it till the time a stable OxygenOS arrives. Best of luck!

Yes, Oxygen OS will be great!!
I think I am going to install pixel experience ROM and when Oxygen OS for androidQ comes out I will upgrade.
I think this will be in the 3rd quarter of this year or something like thay, am I wrong?
Thanks!

Request: best stable custom ROM for Redmi K20 Pro/MI 9t pro

Hi, guys.
I would like to change my Mi 9t pro from MIUI 11 to any custom ROM, because I'm looking for a ROM that gives me a better SOT and performance than stock MIUI 11.
What's the best stable ROM that I can find?
Ps: How can I keep the MIUI stock camera app in any custom ROM, or if it's included in some ROM (with no bugs, if it's possible), Wich ROM would you recommend me?
Thank you all.

I've been using EvoX for quite some time, have been enjoying it. It covers all the concerns that you've mentioned.

-MIUI will give you the best SOT. It has more aggressive battery optimizations.
-I can vouch for EvoX. There have been regular updates, it has the most user-friendly features, but the developer has taken a leave yesterday so the development in the next month or so maybe a little slow. Other option is Lineage.. It also has similar development.
-No rom will be as stable as MIUI. Fingerprint will be slightly slower on the roms.
-There will be minor bugs.
-For the MIUI camera, you can flash ANX Camera.
Hope i helped!
Asoip and extended ui rom are very smooth roms which i could recommend and are regularly updated. Also in Asoip rom it has the option of FP unlock with the screen off which is only in this rom i believe.
Unofficial Havoc 3.2 is the best AOSP 10 ROM I've used so far.
Install ANX Cam for stock camera experience on custom ROMs
TOP AOSP (popular): EvoX, derpfest, aosip.
TOP MIUI (popular): EU-LS, masik, miroom.

For best SOT , Miui is great.
There is a Flashable zip for stock camera in the Official Channel on Telegram.
And yes, some roms has fast fingerprint speed but some are slow as written in the comment above.
I like miui for its features, and its obviously most stable.
If you want customization with MIUI then use MIUIPro or MiGlobal Roms they have same performance with more features and customizations.

I love Evolution X Rom too but on my Redmi K20Pro, there is a Video playback issue where you play a video and it freezes for a couple of seconds frequently. Did you happen to experience this?

Rom suggestion(newbie)

Hi folks,
I just bought Redmi K20 pro(indian variant)
I am going to unlock it's bootloader soon,already familiar with custom rom and stuff was using havoc on op3t before,I just want a custom rom with some features, should be stable and updated frequently (once per month is okay for me),Any suggestions are welcome
I've installed evolution x, works everything smooth and a lot of customisations. Give it a try.
None are completely stable yet and I don't think any are at the level before the move to Android 10.
I prefer my AOSP ROMs to come without GApps baked in, so my recommendation is Havoc. Seems the most stable to me, though still not at the level it was at when it was 2.x PIe based. Go for the @alex9yust developed version, currently the best and most actively developed.
Thank You Guys!

Question What is the best Stable and Best battery backup Rom For Redmi Note 10 Pro (Sweetin)

I am tired of jumping from one rom to another due to constant issues. Some roms have bad battery, Some roms are so buggy, Some stop receiving updates, Some roms don't have the useful features. I want some kind of Rom suggestion that has proper updates, Stable and good battery backup. (Anx Camera if possible)
@Hehe_boi I’ve had good luck with PixelExperience (13 plus edition, which has some extra features over the stock PixelExperience (and real Pixel) ROMs) in terms of updates and some truly helpful features. It also has good battery life IME
I can suggest Cherish OS which has two versions vanilla and gapps
or if you prefer gapps versions only i can suggest evolution x which is a good stable and customized rom
or maybe pixel as @traman124 said but i did not try it before to confirm

Wait for a stable EliteROM. It will give you the best MIUI experience you can get, and the MIUI camera is supposed to be preferred. I avoid the weekly updates... bug city! I currently run crDroid 9.x on my daily driver RN11, though. crDroid is based off Lineage yet requires the MIUI 13 (not 14) firmware to be installed first.
