Hi guys, im planning to buy Mi5 for my girl and im struggling because of dev support. So my questions are
1. Are there any stable CM/lineage ROMs for this device yet?
2 If i flash a customer ROM other than MiUi , will i be able to get stock camera quality?
yes, now there is a lot of custom rom's available for mi5, and the most of them are official, just like LineageOS, RR, CM, Mokee, about the camera quality I can't say, think that it doesn't change too much because the internal firmware of the ROM are MIUI based edit: some ROM's are nightlies, but in most cases they have no issues

Hello,
I've been on xiaomi.eu's global 8.5 ROM for a while and I've been looking here for a new rom that is not MIUI, but there are so many of them.
So, I write this post to know which of them is better than the others, or at least know the differences between them: CM, Lineage OS, RR, Paranoid Android, Slim7, etc.
Are all this roms working ok on this phone? Do they have bugs?
Thanks

CM has been discontinued, but has been succeeded by LineageOS. This seems to be the most common ROM for this phone.
RR and Paranoid Android offer extra features that LineageOS does not, mostly related to customization. You can read the first forum post for each one to see what to expact.
Slim7 is designed to be the lightest ROM with the least amount of added features, optimized for speed and low memory usage.
No ROM is necessarily "better" than the other - it is all a matter of personal opinion and what you're looking for. I personally prefer Lineage because it's updated weekly, but you might opt for something with more features.
As to which ROMs work/have bugs: again, read the first (or second) forum post for the specific ROM, and it will state whether or not there are bugs to be expected. Since this phone has been out for a while, most ROMs have been tweaked to work well with the phone at this point, but it's always helpful to read through to see what to expect.
Hi all
I really like MIUI over AOSP, and i was a Masik user in my mi5. Is there any MIUI 9 based ROM for the Mi5? I only find AOSP based roms, that i really dont like
Thanks in advance mates!
Xiaomi.eu has been the go-to "custom" MIUI for me, a new version is released every time an official Chinese dev MIUI is put out, I suggest you try it.
Like maddoka said, go for the EU version of MIUI. Is the chineese rom in english without any bloatware. Pure MIUI. I use it myself and is the best rom in any circumstances.
You can download from here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
You can even test miuipro, here: https://miuipro.by/
Hey guys, I saw that the resurrection remix team released the rr7 rom for a couple of Xiaomi devices including the pocophone (it seems that poco gets treated more and more like the flagship and mi8 is left behind). Is there any ETA for our device?
It's actually pretty easy to port from beryllium to dipper (pretty sure there are only just some kernel differences).
As much as I LOVE RR, I'd wait a bit for any major bugs to be either confirmed or fixed as RR on pie is new.
An yes you can use poco's rom and flash shphinx kat mipa kernels on top to make it boot.
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!

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!
