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.

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.

AFAIK Pixel Extended is based on Android 11 and Pixel Experience is based on Android 10.

Kernels for android 11

Hello,
anybody knows good kernels for android 11 Roms, especially for pixel experience rom??
thanks in advance.

Opinions needed please. Android 11/12 custom roms

Hello everyone. So i have a rooted XZ2 model H8216 that has LineageOS 18.1 on it. Today i would like your input on which custom roms are best and should be tried. I am looking for a rom that has an Android 11 build and will also support an Android 12 release.
I want some customisation like system-wide font changes and a battery that does not run down so quick. Other than that i normally leave my device near stock but with the usual google apps like phone,contacts,messages,clock,calendar,gmail,duo,youtube replacing stock apps.
Any input will be appreciated with suggestions on which roms to give a try. @martinx your two cents here would be welcome too please.

[Discussion] What is the best rom currently?

Hello everyone, im using the arrow os android 11 rom and i was thinking about upgrading to android 12 now that we have already some official options that look stable and reliable.
Im looking for the one that can give me the most stability, smoother experience and best battery life. Which one do you advise? Also is it worth it to install a costum kernel or is the one providaded with the rom better?
Thanks to everyone in advance
I installed quite a few custom roms on note 7 lavender, but only with Android 13. All a13 versions had a problem with the camera... the camera random freezes and is very annoying. I wonder if the A11,12 is a better camera experience. And maybe there is a custom rom with miui camera preinstalled? thanks
