Thanks a lot for your work !
Can't wait to get the sources to start building !

Everything works fine, at least for me.Stable and fast for first release.Great job done here,keep on mate!!

link does not work

Gapps included? thanks

At last a decent rom for this device, everything is working.
Thanks for you're work.

How is this possible without sources from Xiaomi? BTW, great work!

I have spent whole working day with this rom, I can say without doubt 10 x better than anything from miui, I take card payment using paypal Here via blutooth which has been hit and miss with miui as has bluetooth call reception. Had not 1 problem with CM. Where are all the posters gone? locked bootloaders? or given up waiting for a custom rom?

Will give it a try asap

Personally I'm enjoying Mokee which is also fabulous !
Way better than Miui, the customisation level is finally high
Battery life is good I can easily last a day and performances are excellent.

what gapps we use?

What exactly could you do with this ROM that you couldn't do with Miui?

Beside finding AOSP 1000% prettier than Miui there are TONS of function on Mokee.
You can pretty much customise everything, you get CM theme engine, best Xposed modules are available, better control over your kernel and overall you can set everything the way you want it to be which I didn't find possible on Miui.

This rom is fast and I am finding it fairly stable. 4G works and wifi stable (that was my issue with Mokee). Battery drain seems higher than Mokee. Improves significantly with airplane mode.

Bank apps problem
hi guys,
rom is really fast but I have problems with bank apps. I try to login and then I receive info "the device is not able to use this application"

This rom will update via OTA? Thanks for your work!!

Last few updates with MIUI have not been great for me and not been any updates for a few weeks.

all else working so fine... great work and keep it up.

So this compare to mookee what the different? can someone explain? thanks
and does xposed work for this rom?

MIUI or CUSTOM ROM based on CM13?

Hi guys...which rom is better for Xiaomi mi5 64gb? Previously i have MIUI 8, now i changed to RR 5.7.4...which is better? RR, AOSP, DU, other or MIUI 8?

It's up to you to find the ROM which suits you best. Some people love MIUI, some people don't...
All ROMs are good, some of them offer more customizing features and have more "power" for you to handle. Don't forget stability when rating a ideal ROM for you. If you want a daily driver, you surely want no bugs, and all things working. But, only you can evaluate that.

I recommed MIUI for stable and RR for customize

I been on miui for a while now but recently changed to cm13 I'm satisfied as hell, battery life is great and customization as well.
Skickat från min MI 5

I have a Mi5 32GB and have used MIUI 7/8, RR and CM13. Of the three MIUI is the worst (except battery life) and CM13 would be the best. The problem I had with RR was constant bootloops but it's customization is a tad bit better than that of CM. You can check out the official Nightly for CM13 here and flash it using a custom recovery like TWRP.
Personal preference plays a huge role here so I suggest you try each on your own and then select one. I have Xposed installed on my device so I don'y have to skimp on RR's customization features.

As was mentioned above - it's up to you. So you should try them (ROMs) by yourself because it's impossible to predicts what is more important for you and your evereday tasks.
I'm using MIUI rom (Xiaomi.eu 6.10.13 rom) because it works better with CDMA networks. Recently I've tested Official CM13 - Good rom, smooth, fast, very good battery life. But I didn't like how it works with networks (CDMA+GSM/UMTS).
Thats why I restored to 6.10.13 rom

Definitely Stock ROM.. Preferably EU, as its based on Stock.. Because, CM builds are still under development as in Nightlies..

ROM stability and bugs - it's an other question.
From the battery life point of view - new official CM is better than EU

Considering the amount of apps installed and the ones installing additionally, and the wakelocks are factors for battery duration.. CM has very few system apps compared the stock or any stock based.

Does the MIUI have German language? If no (which I am assuming/reading) does the CM13 or a custom ROM have this?
Also I am still searching for the "how to get TRWP onto my new phone post" (yes I have been searching) so would appreciate if someone could post me a link, thnaks!

The best MIUI rom if you want German language is xiaomi.eu one. Why? While Global Stable MIUI does have german language, xiaomi.eu is basically chinese version with Google Play and no chinese crap. Chinese Version gets updates more often than global version. Here is the link with the installation guide (TWRP installation guide included).
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...r-xiaomi-mi5-unlocked-bl-only-released.31231/

Idle battery drain on MIUI 8 (.eu) stable for me is mostly 0.0%/h over night, according to GSAM Battery monitor. That's after freezing most of the system apps with SD maid.
Day-to-day usage is ~1.9%/h, listening to music over BT for about 6h, browsing, whatsapp. So, a charge lasts 2 days for me.
I don't think CM would make much difference there, and personally, I like MIUI.

Custom roms for Xiaomi Mi5 are quite good if you don't need camera, if you are happy to use your phone as a single sim phone, if you love to actually press the home button.

For what it's worth, I can use my Mi5 as a dual sim phone just fine under CM13... Nothing wrong with the CM camera as well. Only "problem" is the lack of the capacitive home button, I'll give you that.
Personally, between having to deal with the crappy MIUI notification implementation and the lack of tap home button, I chose the latter

The bug when the battery reach 5%, data connectivity keep dropping off, Bluetooth connections the same, camera issues, dual sim issues. Those are just few issues reported by people on last 2-3 pages of CM thread. Don't get me wrong...i do appreciate developers job. And their work it's more difficult because Xiaomi just released the kernel source code. And only partially. But today, 30th of October 2016, there's absolutely no custom rom without having something broken. Is MIUI perfect? Not at all. As you said, the way MIUI is handing notifications it's far to be handy. But stability and functionality wise, no custom rom can match MIUI today.

Love miui don't know why everyone hates on it.
Will flash cm 13 if it gets stable and see if I like it more on my mi5. If miui 9 gets released before cm 13 gets stable though I won't.

Well Vladimir, not everybody is facing those bugs. I am not (the 5% battery one I would probably, but who cares!) That's why I am not updating the build in currently on Fantastic experience and solid enough to make it as my daily driver.
But I totally get what you mean! Flashing such experimental ROMs isn't for everyone, I would most def. agree with that and would not necessarily recommend it if you don't want to have to deal with some odd bugs once in a while. And yes, MIUI is a very solid and polished skin (certainly not bug-free tho!!)It's just a little bit too "iOSy" for me.

Daily Driver Roms for Oneplus 5 [Discussion]

This is not a place to compare roms, but a place to share your experience with your current daily driver on your Oneplus 5.
What rom are you currently using?
How do you like it?
What is your overall experience with it?
Are you using it with a specific kernel or the built-in one?
Would you recommend it to someone?
Etc...
Let discussion begin!
Note: I think having a thread like this can help keeping development threads clean.

Good initiative!
I tried many Roms and Kernels since I've got my OP5 about an week and a half ago.
First thing i was getting rid of the "buggy" official stock rom haha. I played with it for a vew hours and gave in. Than i was preparing everything for unlocking, rooting etc..etc... It was easier than i thought! Didn't expect it!
First ROM i flashed was an unreleased BETA build from a team i being part off. Just to getting used to this device and playing aLOT with an optimized Kernel (also an build by the Team Dev) after a vew days, i was trying other ROMs, i mean no Roms that where close or based on stock OOS. More based on AOSP and LOS.
After a couple of days, i found my right ROM and Kernel combination so i ended up with:
"RR Unofficial" with "Blu_Sparky" Kernel!
I like the debloated version of RR and the battery friendly and easy tunable Blu_Spark Kernel with EX Manager.
I get about 9-10 hours SOT, since I'm not an heavy multitasker or gamer. Besides that, i'm facing no errors, no random reboots, no screen blackouts, or whatsoever! It is for me the Stable Combination!
Currently I'm waiting for an Android 8 Build by the Team Dev. Which is also going to be an AOSP based Rom with "hopefully" aLOT of Optimizations!
Easy does it
Edit: This was a newbie post. I won't recommend this anymore, since it is outdated and whatsoever...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. That's helpful! :good:

My first ever Android device was a Nexus 6P, and I ran only Pure Nexus on it. I then moved to the Pixel XL, and also primarily ran Pure Nexus. After basically two years of running an AOSP based ROM, I had only good opinions on AOSP based ROMs.
Because development seemed a little tricky for Pixels, I decided to switch over to the OnePlus 5. I, then, flashed a handful of AOSP based ROMs, hoping I would receive the same stability, smoothness, and just the right amount of features Pure Nexus has.
The results didn't seem to be the same. I am by no means bashing on, hating, or criticizing any AOSP based ROM that is available for this device, but I personally just did not feel the same smoothness as I did on Pure Nexus. I decided to try LOS based ROMs, and the unofficial RR has by far been the best!
It's smooth, stable, and very snappy. There is one thing that "bugs" me though (excuse the pun lol):
The VPN icon doesn't hide, unless you disable and reenable something else in the SystemUI tuner. This workaround only lasts until you restart the phone, or even restart the SystemUI
Another thing worth noting (which isn't a bug), there are some unneeded apps that I have to manually uninstall with TitaniumBackup, such as the Music app, the file explorer, and the default phone and contacts app (among a couple others). Very small inconvenience and it's not enough to keep me away from the ROM lol.
Other than that, it's an amazing ROM, especially because it already comes with a custom kernel, and YouTube AdBlock/Background Playback!
Going back to the AOSP based ROMs, just to further reinforce that I'm not trying to bash these ROMs: OnePlus 5 is still a relatively new device, and development is probably still in its early stages; I'll definitely give those ROMs another try down the road, and see how my experience is then.
Also, I wasn't on those ROMs for too long, so maybe I just didn't allow the OS to "settle". Not sure if this is even a real thing, but I've heard other users mentioning letting a fresh install of an OS "settle" before truly making any critiques/comments.
As for OOS based ROMs, I was on stock for a very short amount of time, and I also tried xXx, both great ROMs (especially xXx). However,when you have as many features/customization options as RR has, it's hard to use anything OOS-based, especially because there is no full Substratum support (which is super important to me).
Hope this helped!

Well elaborated. And as you know the device is very new, so hopefully custom roms will become more and more stable with time.
Thanks for sharing!

Share about your daily driver experience here. We want to hear how much you are enjoying your OP5.

I used Nexus 6p before i bought the OP5 and I think OxygenOS is one of the best roms build by a hardware building company. After some months I started to switch my kernel because I had a little bit drain and started to read in Xda what could help and now I am at my best every day use combination and it is OOS plus blu_spark it works stable and I can underclock it easily because I am a light user: Browsing, WhatsApp and Phone call sometimes Maps that's all what I need and this combo lifts my usage to 2 full days. I am not an SOT guy so the lowest Screen Off Drain is my Must Have.

Just a quick update on my daily driver:
In my previous post I mentioned being on RR Unofficial, but since then I have switched to Pure Fusion!
As you know from my previous post, I'm a huge PureNexus fan and Pure Fusion is based on that, so I flashed it in a heartbeat.
That with the stock kernel has been amazing, as I feel it provides just the right amount of features I'll most likely be sticking to this ROM for as long as I own this device!

As far as I can tell, it's pretty much identical. The settings for the ROM have the same UI, very similar set of features; maybe just a little more than PureNexus!
It's also fast, smooth and stable like PureNexus as well

Coming from Nexus 6 (Pure Nexus)...which ROM for Mi MIX?

Hi,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please let me know.
I just bought a Mi Mix last week and am wondering which ROM is best for me. I had been using a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus which works very well for my needs. Given that, and the following requirements, which ROM would be best for the Mi Mix?
1. Double tap to wake.
2. Not MIUI (I really don't like it).
3. Stable (I'd like to load once and not have to flash new ROMs very often).
4. Nougat 7.1.2
5. Lots of customization options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, welcome to the yard.
Simply all your criterions are telling like you'll get what you want by Resurrection Remix rom. Second shot perhaps should be the AOSiP rom.
Sent from my lithium using XDA Labs

Right now I think AOSiP is the most rounded of them all right now. Just my opinion though.

AICP. It works best for me, has all the customizations you need but isn't as overloaded as RR.

You dont want miui, but sadly epicrom is the fastest in my experience. I tried rr it is recommended.

I loaded Resurrection Remix last night and it was working well until I tried to run the SquareHome launcher. It kept crashing so I then tried Lineage but it went into a reboot loop shortly after the initial start around where you enter the wireless information. So then I flashed AOSiP and it also went into a reboot loop at about the same point. I wiped everything each time. So at this point I flashed RR again just to see if it would load without rebooting and it worked fine. Fortunately I was able to figure out why the SquareHome launcher wasn't working so it's all good now too. Everything with RR seems to be working fine so far but I haven't used it very much yet.
However, I'm curious why the others caused the reboot loop problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Update: I have the YouTube slowness and audio problem so I'm guessing my firmware needs to be updated. Could that have caused the reboot issue with AOSiP and Lineage also?

Not sure, but the video slowness and audio problem is caused by the dated firmware, try flashing the 7.7.20 firmware found in the RR thread.
I will also recommend you to try ViperOS , it doesnt have much support but the rom is smooth with great battery life (compared to other AOSP/Lineage based roms in my experience) and the performance is very good with no need of a custom kernel.

I've been having a couple weird things with RR (intermittent proximity sensor and a couple random reboots) so I flashed ViperOs. It seems pretty awesome so far. Thanks!

ViperOs is awesome. Unfortunately I've decided to sell the Mi Mix. I've tried but I just can't get past the audio quality from the 'earpiece' during calls.

Anyone interested in a good deal on a basically brand new Mi Mix 6/256? U.S. only please. Thanks.

Sadly, yes. As I mentioned, I just can't get past the earpiece limitations. My hearing isn't the best and I'm having problems with hearing and understanding callers compared to other phones I have. I really love the phone (that screen! and that battery life!) but I need to use it as a phone which just isn't working for me.

It may not be that bad for everyone. My hearing isn't the greatest so I'm sure that factors in. The best ROM I used in the short time I was using it is ViperOS. I've got it on Swappa right now for $415 but that's a little flexible.
Thanks.

Oh ok gotcha, do you remember which twrp you used with viper rom? I might be interested in your mix, my girl seem mine an how good the camera is so of course if I get mine set up an everything working good an have a good signal in the US northeast, she wants one lol I'll pm you on it at that time, if it isn't sold we'll figure something out.

+1 for RR.
I was exactly just like you, came from N6 and I am happy with this ROM.

Nexus 6 in 2019

Hey, i recently bought a second hand Nexus 6 because i wanted a daily driver with custom rom and magisk, thing which is virtually imposible in my main phone (S10) so i thought the nexus will do great, the phone isnt running so bad but i think it could be better so i installed Carbon ROM and runs nice but it has some weird lags on the UI and some apps, i know this is an old device but i think it can run better, what ROM or thing can i do to get it at his best right now? Im planning to buy a new battery since i dont know how old it is (if anyone can tell me how many hours should last or SOT it could get the battery in great condition will be appreciated)
I'm planning to install the last system image from google (i dont remember the version it had when i changed the ROM) and then install LineageOS 16, that will do?
Thanks in advance for the help, i really llke this phone.

I have recently replaced my battery and a full charge lasts me a day with multiple hours sot. Sadly I don't have an exact number sot for you.
Currently I'm using Colt OS but I think you'd be fine using any any of the big roms. Some need a few reboots to stop the lag (or so I've read, I haven't had to do that yet). So just try some out until you find what works for you!

To reduce lags,
- You can reduce the resolution to 720p if you haven't already tried it (Display will appear blurry, but it will make the UI smoother)
- Try some Kernels/Kernel Manager and experiment with the provided options (May reduce the Battery backup)

How do i reduce the resolution? How it runs on 1080p?
Well i wanted to try a custom kernel but all of them are quite old, which kernel do you use?

SOT: I would say between 2 and 6 hours, depending on how you use the phone - around 4 hours typically.
Lags: it's common to have extra lag the first few days after installing a rom, until background optimizations are finished.
Otherwise, the worst lags occur if the phone has to reload the launcher or app, because of shortage of ram. Then you get delays of a few seconds.
Ram handling can be modified slightly by tweaking system parameters, but it cannot change that 3 GB just isn't a lot today.

As to whether you should replace the battery:
If you start getting sudden power offs when at, say, 30% charge, then you need to replace. That is what usually happens with a weak battery on this phone.

There are plenty of up to date kernels, Franco Kernel for instance.

Franko Kernel hasn't been updated since 6 months and is lacking a lot oft security patches.

Hmm did not notice that (usually just use kernel that came with the rom) the last time I checked it was updated. But 6 months isn't that old for the Nexus 6 right?

Personally I don't think its a lot for a nearly 6 year old device, not a lot but still not good. But that's just personal opinion.

I see no proper reason to use an outdated kernel if there are kernels with the latest security updates.

There are plenty of people still using outdated roms and kernels here, most roms here haven't been updated for a while. I did not say its a good idea or that you should... I even told you I hadn't seen it wasn't updated that long.

I'm keeping my devices updated as possible, and those security patches can be irrelevant for most people, but it's your choice and i'm personally using many financial instruments on mobile, banking apps, even some cryptocurrency wallets, so i'm feeling a little bit more comfortable with latest security patches, and of course "unlimited thanks" to people who keep this device alive :highfive:

Yeah the maintainers are legends! I'm currently using up to date software as well (same reason, banking apps etc.), just hadn't seen my recommendation had not been updated yet.
