Hi guys,
I've been on the Epic Rom Pro for quite a while now, I have started seeing some new roms pop up and i'm not really clear as to how they differ, specifically it looks like the Resurrection Remix rom has a ton of posts/activity.
How do these two roms differ? I'm looking for something that is mostly stable with a minimum of bugs, but I certainly like customization...
Thanks!
Sry for my bad English.
I have use two rom for a while enough to tell something for you. Both Epic and RR are stable enough for daily using. If i want Miui, I will using Epic 8.2.1.0 cause Xposed. Xposed + Mi8Tweak modul very great for custom. If you want nougat, RR is best choise for now. Miui on 7.0 mean no xposed, and RR has alot of great option for custom your phone.

Thank you for your reply. I am already on Nougat as Epic Rom Pro is now Nougat based, I do miss xposed, but I can live without it.
So both are now Nougat based. Are they both Miui based? or is Resurrection based on plain Android?

I am on MIUI and want to jump on RR or Epic and this is what I was wondering too, which of the two?!
RR seems more updated but Epic seems more popular and more downloaded. Are they both similar?

RR, DU, LOS these are as you said 'plain Android' based roms, they don't look like Miui. All of them 7.x.x based as well and the RR rom -is the one which has lots of features- gets updated Weekly/Daily. If you're not a miui lover, not an xposed addict; you should go for RR. If you consider flashing any of those; be careful and read about encryption**

Oh, so RR is AOSP based? No Xiaomi stuff at all? That sounds excellent.
So on RR is Encryption on by default? Yuck! I assume we can turn it off?
I do like Xposed, but Epic Pro is Android 7 now, so Xposed doesn't work on that one anyways now.

Folks say so, encryption comes by default. Perhaps the dm-verity disabler zip would prevent it to get encrypted. Because this thing sucks, asks pin after reboot, in recovery etc. Reboot takes longer time and so on. Also you have to format data which means entire device to get rid of encryption. Transferring my files took 3 hours to be done after i remove 75gb data from my device, gross.

Well xposed is more important than rom for me since i discovered it -long time ago-. Im safe and sound with the one i use now because of xposed support. I can stick with MM forever. Ha!

Well i just tried Resurrection Remix. Yeah, Encrypted by default. Doesn't appear to be any way to turn it off. Ok, I guess that's fine.
However it doesn't come rooted. And it looks like SuperSU isn't the way to do it any more. So no root is a problem for sure.
I'll flash back to Epic for now. I didn't really understand the whole Magisk thing...
RR stock DPI was 480, so big, lol..

I'm sure it can be, but not with the usual SuperSU way, I didn't really have time to go figure out how to get root all setup. I assumed the rom was pre-rooted which i'm not sure it is.
Plus once I went back to Epic Rom, it appears that my Data partition stays encrypted so I have to put my pin in at each boot. - Not cool at all..
So, for now I am staying away from RR until Encryption isn't forced on me and its Rooted out of the box.
I've tried RR but I do not like stock android feel and lack of... well lack of MIUi. For all its faults, I just love MIUi IU and many of its basic features. Didn't like substratum either and the necessity of using third party launchers to modify grids and icons...
Anyway, so far Epic Pro is working really well for me.
Regarding encryption... I had not paid any attention to it when I flashed RR... What does it entail? It stays when you go back to Epic??
Thanks!

Just wanted to understand, why does everyone show hate to encryption here? How is it bad, besides pin at boot and tiny bit slow at opening apps and other tasks?
Does RR has Dual App function as MIUI/EPIC
And RR is rooted or not?

Yes with magisk for root and something else I forgotten, something about xiaomi safety net. Plenty of threads and very easy, as a side note official LOS released and is very stable, doubt you will want miui after trying this. Although it's not in ROM section of XDA its in guides and news.

Oh yeah that's the same procedure for RR. Magisk plus Xiaomi safety net.
I don't want to leave EPIC/MIUI because it's still smoother than any of the CM-type ROMs. I rarely get any stuttering/slowdown compared to RR/Lineage. Even when I use kernel overclocking (DragonXia), which should make it perform better, the Antutu scores (and general responsiveness) still don't match MIUI. Also, I'd lose some features that I like
- Pulling down to hide the dock. Sounds like a very minor feature but I love being able to quickly dismiss the dock when I'm in an app for a more immersive experience, especially since we have software buttons and not hardware ones
- Quick ball, so I can still work with the dock hidden
- Native call recording (I own the skvalex call recorder app so this isn't a huge deal)
- Themes. I know themes are part of pretty much every ROM but I just prefer the MIUI layout
- Second space. Very useful for having a second instance of an app that's separate from your main one
The performance is still the main MIUI draw though.
There are other minor niggles with RR/LOS like no unlock sound on FP scanner and slower to unlock with it. I believe there is still an issue with the speakerphone/echo too.
Problems that I have with MIUI would be
- No Smart Unlock for location (annoying that I can't have it unlocked at frequently visited places), nor does it work with bluetooth in my car
- No previews/functionality for some notifications (mainly Gmail), so i have to open every email to see if it's worth reading, *and* I can't delete/archive it from the notification either. Big waste of time
- Doesn't currently pass safetynet so it's impossible to use some apps like Snapchat. Doesn't seem to matter which Magisk version I use, still no luck
- Using Nova Launcher, sometimes it'll take a few seconds to load the home screen icons if I have been away from it for a while. I assume this is down to the aggressive killing of background apps in MIUI. I tried the persistent option in Nova but it didn't seem to make any difference and couldn't see a way to whitelist it in MIUI
What if I go back to an MM-based version of EPIC? If I do that I'll be able to get the smart unlock working via Xposed and it'll pass safetynet (as far as I can see), but would I lose anything?
If I go back to RR, is there a way to toggle the dock on/off like MIUI? Can I get an unlock sound for the FP scanner? As for the performance issues, I delete all the perf-related files as I do on EPIC and match the settings in Kernel Auditor but it still lags behind (~140k compared to ~155k in Antutu) and with the UI/apps in general.
Pros for RR/Lineage:
-Stock AOSP looks
-Interactive notifications
-Notification icons on status bar much more clear
-Much less bloatware
-No "MIUI optimizations" that kill performance (although you can turn these off in MIUI, still annoying)
-Ambient display
-Better spaced Nav bar buttons
-Nav bar color doesn't flicker between screens
-Default camera has slow-mo and lens blur
-Pass safetynet (use android pay, pokemon go, etc)
-Multiwindow
-customize nav button actions
-Flashlight shortcut with screen off
-Custom kernel available (dragonxia)
Pros for MIUI:
-Screen turns on much quicker when power button pressed
-Fingerprint reader much faster
-Front facing camera flips images by default
-Better battery life
-Screen gets brighter and dimmer
-Auto brightness works properly
-Microphone works on speaker phone
Hardware works better on MIUI, software works better on RR/Lineage. The wake lag on Lineage/RR was a dealbreaker for me, but god is MIUI software bad.

Never had that encryption problem on RR or going back to Epic... Strange.
For my test a blend would be the perfect thing: basically all Epic plus the various customizations settings' option from RR :victory:
Would that be so difficult or impossible to build? I mean not for me, I know nothing of the actual stuff, but for one of those good developers that own the Mix and love a good challenge Or not so good, maybe it'd be easier than I imagine...
i Have searched a lot but couldnt find any thread where i would get one touch navigation like in stock rom on my aospextended ROM on moto g5s plus..switched recently to AOSPextended from stock and have been having a lot of problem navigating without th simple swipes on the fingerprint sensor..ive tried 3rd party apks but very slow or dont work at all.please help.a zip file that i could flash or anything ..anything that brings one button navigation like in stock.
Almost every ROM I've used has Moto Actions / fingerprint gestures / one touch navigation.
Does AEX really not have that?
If it really doesn't and you really need it, I'd suggest going to another ROM that has it.
EDIT: Just flashed AospExtended v5.4. Settings -> Gestures -> Fingerprint Gestures. Right there. I am quite sure it is there in later versions also. Did you check? I recommend to always go through everything in Settings after a ROM flash. This way one knows what is and isn't there.

I always ran into some kind of errors/problems when trying to use Pixel Experience on my previous Moto G5 Plus - issues such as camera would crash sometimes, or, some things not working properly.
Are you really able to use the ROM with this (G5S Plus) and not having any crashing, missing features, or other problems when using for more than a couple weeks? If so, that's great news. I miss having a phone with PROBLEM FREE Custom ROMs (My Galaxy S3 usually had Custom ROMs available with ZERO problems).

PE 8.1 or 9.0?
When screen is off, does "CHOP CHOP" turn on flashlight as it should?
Does your screen change color at night? "Night Mode", less "blue light" for better sleeping if you look at your screen at night.
System UI Tuner is working fine?
These days I seem to be unable to find *ANY* ROM without multiple problems reported by users in the discussion threads - such a sad situation.
I am on STOCK, but, I really want to try this GCam 6.1 for "Night Sight", but stock ROM won't work because it's not 64 bits

Hi there, I tried MGC_6.1.021_Mido_Nightfix.apk and after taking a shot there is notification "Processing HDR+" that
never goes away even though the photo is ready to be viewed at the gallery. I'm also running PixelExperience Pie,
any recommendation as far of the most recent apk that works the best for the G5S Plus?
Hello, I have a poco m3 pro running miui 12.0.10 global + default POCO launcher, not rooted.
Left & right swipe gesture active areas seem too narrow for me, I find myself having to use the tip of my finger in order for it to register, otherwise it won't swipe. I thought it was the case so I ordered another one but same issue. Anyway to widen the area a bit so I don't have to try 3 or 4 times for it to register? I removed the applied screen protector but nothing changed.
This is the case I have. I tried fluid gesture app and that gave me an option to widen the active side areas and made it much better, but I'd like to use the default app. I've never had this issue with my older phones (pixel 3A XL, 4a 5G).
maybe is a firmware issue... with older version same problem?
I ended up installing FNG and increase the left and right active areas and have it running with MIUI gestures. Stupid MIUI.
