audio quality MIUI vs custom ROM - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I wonder: why does MIUI (or MIUI based) ROM have a much superior sound quality than any custom ROM I've tried?
Including: LineageOS, AOSP Extended, AOSP-JDC​Team, Slimdragons, Atomic OS
I mean, I've pretty much enjoyed all of them more than MIUI, but that audio issue just had me back to xiaomi.eu
Is this a known issue that will be fixed in the future?

Probably MIUI China has proper drivers and optimization. I tried MIUI Global and it has quite bad audio too...

Unfortunately it's probably that MIUI use proprietary drivers.
But even with worse audio I prefer custom ROMs. MIUI is horrible for me, specially how it handle notifications.
Also, did you try installing Viper4android or Dolby Atmos? I want to try these and see if there is an improvement but I'm just lazy.

I prefer custom ROMs as well, and yes, I've tried to install those two mods with Magisk, but had no success.
Might have to do with some selinux permissions that are required, I will definitely try that sometime.
Just learning to enjoy MIUI for now.

really? well, xiaomi.eu is china dev based and I found it a heck a lot better than on those custom ROMs.
viper4android and dolby atmos might be worth taking a look, as our friend said above, though.

Yeah, I tried MIUI Global a few weeks ago (latest dev version) before installing Masik ROM which is based on MIUI China. Big improvement as regards audio quality and volume. I heard that also Xiaomi.eu rom has good quality too and it looks like you are confirming that...

I do enjoy it. Will try Masik someday too. For now, I'll just settle with the .eu and wait for the upcoming MIUI 9

[AOSP 5.1.1][Snapdragon] Prerooted, cleaned & fingerprint compatible

AOSP 5.1.1 for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (kenzo)
Based on leaked Xiaomi 5.1.1 AOSP ROM (Build 300)
Cleaned, prerooted and fingerprint compatible
Prologue
I've decided to take the time and hack together a quick TWRP-compatible ZIP of the leaked AOSP ROM with a few goodies on top so that we have at least one stable non-MIUI ROM to keep us going until CM13 is ready for daily driving.
Before people ask:
This ROM doesn't have OTA support, and it won't be updated on a regularly basis.
Yes, its capable of daily-driving with no big issues whatsoever.
Yes, you need a unlocked bootloader to flash this (the unofficial bootloader unlock will work however).
It's prerooted, pre-gapped and pre-xposed, so you will have essentially everything you will ever need already there.
Changes (when compared to the originally leaked AOSP ROM)
Overlapping No-SIM Symbol has been removed
Redundant SPN Debug Overlays have been removed
Debug Buttons have been removed from the Recent Apps View
APK Signature Check has been disabled in the Framework
Debug applications have been removed
Fingerprint reader support has been added
SuperSU (Free) has been pre-installed
Gapps are bundled
Xposed is bundled
Default language / region has been changed to en-US
Merged SIM Signal Bars
Translated Fingerprint implementation into several languages
logd is disabled (as to avoid sdcard logspam)
Donations
Should you wish to support this (or other projects of mine), please consider donating a few bucks to me via PayPal.
Alternatively, if you like the general idea of bringing proper Android support to badly supported devices (mostly China-Phones), please consider becoming a patron to my "Bring CyanogenMod to China-Phones" movement over at Patreon by pledging a few dollars every month to move me closer to the goal of doing this for a living instead of only squeezing in a few hours every week next to my regular work.
Every support, no matter how tiny, is appreciated (but of course not required).

Yes, apps opens longer than in miui. Some lag in scrolling presist. Snapdragon Camera not optimised and works even worse than stock.
If you dont want AOSP by all means its better to stick with Global ROM for now. Only pros of this firmware is AOSP interface and good signal strength.

I tried it now, but no noticeable change happen. Also AOSP already have high battery drain, so this is not good solution.

Xiaomi.eu opinions

Im having serious problems with Custon ROM Mi5,s camera, so i considering come back to MIUI, i readed that xiaomi.eu are better than Official MIUI developper version, so i would apreciate if someone could talk about this ROM, battery life, stability and etc.. And can it be flashed by TWRP like a custon ROM?
xiaomi.eu support Camera 2 Api in the last weekly rom:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/7-2-23-24.38808/
If i flash by twrp, my bootloader will be blocked? That is any way to prevent that?

I can't isntall it.
Flashed it via TWRP. No error. ( Only command log error.)
But when I try to reboot system, TWRP says " There's no OS installed. "
What's wrong ?
I'll share Log next time.
Bug .. just confirm reboot and wait
And be sure that you have EXT4 and not F2FS !
What is the advantage of camera 2 Api when everyone is talking about it?

Additional functions in manual mode, much more than in stock camera!
I am currently using latest weekly from xiaomi.eu and it is running perfectly, also added Open Camera to test manual controls... very pleased with the results...
I readed that it blocks the bootloader, is it true?

No It's not true for Mi5. But it's true for Mi4c, Mi Note and some more.
Im really liking the ROM, im Sorry for not had tested sonner
Yes, xiaomi.eu is better than stock miui because it has additional tweak. Im using latest weekly update and it is much more better than stock miui. And camera 2 api is a great implementation
Is there any kinda official thread for MIUI EU ROM here in XDA ?

Depends on MIUI version, the-now-abandoned DragonXia for MIUI 8 worked, albeit not so stable. No idea about current one since all targets MIUI 9 and I'm still in MIUI 8 because I prefer waiting for stable release.
As far as i know there are only 2 kernels for miui. I personally idę naga v3 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3673374
There is also psychedelic kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3685099 i've tested IT and returned to naga. For me phone feels smoother on it. U should try both

best stock android ROM for Xiaomi mi 5

Hi Guys,
i am looking for stock android rom.
what's the best rom for stock android?
i dont need other features since this phone only for calling, texting and browsing only.
i came from nexus family, i really bother with MIUI.
thank you for your answer
try AOSPA, no much feature but great performance
Paranoid Android is a pretty good one.
Lineage OS if you are looking for good stability/performance balance.
Resurrection remix if you want to customize every bit of your phone.

+1 for AEX
Aex had very bad battery on latest builds.
thanks for the answer guys,
maybe i will try AEX or Lineage.
Slim rom if you want exact stock.... Lineage if you want some features... AOSPA if you want some more... AICP if you want some more... AEX if you want almost everything customized and Resurrection Remix if you want everything customized... I only recommend these roms as they are official and provide constant updates....
Thanks

Mi6 MIUI9 Global Beta 8.1.11 updated to Oreo

You are right it is totally gone maybe they still have not port it in miui9 Oreo based
Just don't to update guys it's super bugy
I did a fresh flash for the new rom
But it keeps freezing and the media refuse to play even on YouTube
For the time being, is safer to stick to Android 7.1 for the MI6. This Rom is not the exception, it may be from XIOAMI, but still a Beta.
Hey guys,
I one Xiaomi Mi6 with MIUI9 Global Beta 8.1.11 yesterday, 12/01/2018 it looks like it was updated to Oreo.
Xiaomi pushed Oreo on our latest weekly OTA update. :good:
I upload my screenshot of my phone. (in attachment)

A bit better, I'm testing it right now. It can be used as a daily. Some notifications bugs and battery seems to drain faster than Global stable but slower than Los 15.1 and Aicip 12.1.
I'm having trouble with this update, my phone does not vibrate when I receive notifications.
The whatsapp app icon appears twice and then disappears.
What can I do?
Is there a way to check if Project Treble is enabled on this build?

It's a common issue that has already been reported.
Happens on both MIUI Global and China Oreo ROMs for Mi 6.
I'm also suffering this issue (tried both ROMs) and my temporal solution is Mi Band 2 notifications.
oreo rom for xiaomi mi6
many many bugs....my rom is miui9 global stable.v9.0.2.
Hey everyone! Don't install 8.1.11. Install 8.1.17 or 8.1.18. It fixes the notification issue.
i am on the newest xiaomi.eu 8.1.18 but i'm missing the cast tile. Do you guys still have it on miui 9 oreo?
Install stable build please. Same issue on global dev

What is the most vanilla/stock-like Android 10 Custom Rom?

I have been using Lineage 17.1, but it does not get updates anymore, which is sad. It was almost perfect with MIUI camera port and Gcam all lenses/modes working...
Which is the Android 10 ROM most similar to LOS? Without gapps included and Dialer/SMS/Gallery Apps etc like in LOS? As stock as possible...
Thanks for your help.

I don't know
but why you don't build your own rom from source ?
You can try DerpFest or ArrowOS. Either w/out happy and some personalization.. But constantly updated
