I9300 (Int) 4.4 Custom Kernels for Omni Nighties

First things first: this is not a "best kernel thread", so please avoid asking or stating in that direction. This is all about spotting what custom kernels are compatible with Omni (for now) Nighties, and what has been your experience with them so far.
In my case, I've tried both Yank's (1.6g-beta2) and Boeffla (beta 1a) and they are working flawlessly. At the moment I'm using Boeffla just cause I find it easier to toy with different configurations and Yank's can only be tweaked from aroma. And in my personal experience, I've found that using ART instead of dalvik, it feels like I'm having a smoother experience (with a bit more battery drain, I must admit). But like I said, this is only how those kernels work on my device and that doesn't mean it will happen exactly the same way in your's and how you'd feel about them.
Any other kernels have been tested and are working in Omni 4.4 nighties?

I follow you, I would install dual boot with a custom stock 4.3 (Android Revolution HD) and an android 4.4 rom (OmniROM).
I could create dual boot between 4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4(only CM11) roms with excellent Googy-Max Kernel... but nothing to do with OmniROM 4.4 due to recovery or kernel incompatibility.

Ah, I found Devil2 Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528624 that supports Omni 4.4... and dual booting

Never been a huge fan of dualbooting but since I'm planning to stay with Omni until we reach a estable build... I wouldn't mind giving stock 4.3 a spin.
Has anyone tried out Devil and Omni already?

Just as an FYI with regards to custom kernels.
Just like with CM - Anyone can submit code to a kernel repository through gerrit for review. So if you're running something other than the official kernel, ask yourself:
1) What is the alternate kernel maintainer hiding? If their change is so good, why shouldn't it be the default, and why haven't they submitted their change to gerrit for review?
2) If they did submit a patch it was rejected - ask yourself why? Code review is public so you can find the reasons given for any patch being negatively reviewed (assuming the kernel maintainer even bothered to submit it).

I´m not much more than a resourceful noob, I must admit. But even when your line of thoughts seems very logical, I wonder if there could be any other reasons for kernel maintainers like Lord Boeffla or Yank555 to remain aside from main ROM projects. Both of them have been around for long now, and I've experienced with their work in my device a lot, with no harm at all (I can't guarantee results for other people, just talking about my experience).
I guess custom kernels give you the chance to adjust your kernel to your own needs. Some people would be ok about sacrificing some performance to obtain a better battery result, or would like to have the freedom to choose the governor that best suits you, for instance. Isn't customization and freedom the whole thing about custom ROMS and GPL?
As for me, I go for customs kernels seeking a better balance between performance and battery life. The way I use my phone, I won't last a full day with original kernels. But I must admit that if I had an app to tweak Omni's original kernel myself, I'd do it (I don't got the knowledge to dev my own kernel, thought).

Would you like to impelement CPU and GPU overclock?
Would you like to implement CPU and GPU undervolt?
Would you like to implement WIP governors like zzmoove?
I aksed only three questions from at least a few more, and I'm wondering if you could answer "yes" to at least one. Making custom kernel or custom rom is a great thing because we can push device to the limits, while doing so shouldn't be suggested neither implemented in any official kernel.

Voltage control/overclock - The stability issues these cause isn't worth it. Especially undervolting - at best it saves 3-4% on CPU core power savings, which is only 1-2% of system power even when the cores are at full tilt.
Alternate governors - These will have to, of course, go through review as to whether they have a valid reason for existing. 90% of alternate governors out there achieve nothing that can't be achieved merely by tuning the defaults of existing ones. Many of them are 100% marketing bull**** - Lionheart being the most blatant example. (Lionheart is nothing more than conservative with the minimum polling rate limit properly fixed...)

Of course you're right but if we're talking about gaming then in long-run uV can actually benefit users a bit more that 3-4%.
The most interesting thing is OC. It's always nice to have a bit more power than usual if you're using it only for a short time. This way you get real performance boost when it's needed, for example when CPU is doing a longer task. Nobody gets hurt if CPU will work at let's say 1.6 GHz instead of 1.4 for a few seconds.
I understand what you're trying to say and I totally agree with you. Most of the changes could be and should be contributed to the base but still most of the devs (including me) wouldn't contribute non-universal device-specific changes.

Help! Why am i facing performance issues with custom roms

Hey guys. I usually wouldnt have made a thread like this, but honestly, i am getting tired trying rom after rom to find the one that works. I am the sort of guy who switches phones pretty often because i like what Devs at XDA are able to do to customize them. So i have recently started using higher end phones, and coming from mid-rangers i expected awesome performance and lag free experience. My last device was a one plus 2. After switching to mi5(which has a better processor), i have been experiencing lag spikes with rom. None of them work perfectly smooth, I would go to the depth of saying that my old Nexus 5 provides much smoother experience compared to this. Surprisingly, this is not the case with miui. The stock Miui rom aswell as my current rom(cpMIUI) are both super smooth(as is expected out of a sd820). I am stock android guy though, also google camera port doesnt work on miui. I just wanted to confirm if it was just my unit or is everyone facing similar issues. Buying a sd820, i dont expect something as simple as pulling down the notification bar to be laggy. Also. this issue is more prominent with Lineage OS and Lineage OS based roms. I found AOSP rooms to be generally smoother, but still, laggy enough to notice. This really wasnt the case with OP2, and i honestly wouldnt have switched if it wasnt for the amazing camera of Mi5(only with GcamMod ). Any help would be much appreciated. PS: I have tried custom kernels, even those which overclock this sd820 to normal frequencies. But no luck . I really dont have the budget to switch phones rn, and i would like to stick to mi5. Hope someone can help.

Mi devices works better with MIUI... That's just the way it is. Custom rom experience on Mi can't compare with the likes of Oneplus, Nexus, or maybe Pixel...

am using los15.1 and most of the apps freezed now its smooth and giving good battery life

All lags, freezes and scroll stutters caused by kernel. All oreo kernels based on HMP scheduling with perf daemon. And don't know why, but it cant provide smooth FPS while ui drawing (maybe some bug with frequency drops). So, 90% roms based on Oreo will lag while drawing UI all time (you can check it in dev settings > Profile GPU Rendering). Some roms trying to avoid this bug, like LOS, AEXMod with some tweaks in governor. This 2 roms much smoother than other. Or you can change default governor from Interactive to Conservative (root required). It brings massive boost on ui drawing smoothness. Or try something based on EAS kernels (Purefusion, JDC AOSP). But these roms based on 8.0 Oreo.

Thanks for a constructive reply. I am not using LOS because of the fingerprint delay bug, also i found LOS to be the laggiest of them all. But i recently installed Cosmic os 8.1, and this one seems to be rendering fine. It is using the priima kernel i suppose, with interactive governors and cfq for io scheduling. Also, i just checked, it has oc'ed the sd820 to normal frequencies (2.15 and .16)
Also, i have tried Floppy kernel, based on all 3, Google, linaro and ubertc. Also, i tried switching the governor to zen(the one i am aware of thats made to make your ui smoother). This issue is not only persistent with oreo roms, but also the nougat roms. But i have been happy and impressed by cosmic, but i will keep on switching roms and hopefully would be able to provide some feedback to the XDA community.

Absolutely yes! People were blaming me also for using antutu, because I had this doubt, then discovered that the kernel uses a strange sort of cpu scheduler which causes a performance drop of 20/25%, (still can't fix switching performance profile) results were different switching to a custom kernel. I think that people when create new roms they just steal LOS kernel, so that's why this issue occurs in more than one rom.
Anyway I also prefer the stock android camera, and I like to use the "classic" way instead of magisk thing (never liked that), just download GCam, then remove in the framework folder the camera_experimental.jar (or something called like that) and you should be fine, there are some little bugs too but is is usable.

So which kernel are you using rn? Cosmic OS comes with the priima kernel, it is the best experience i have had by far. Glad to know i am not the only one suffering stutters, but also kinda disappointed to see this happen.

Yea, me too, and there were people who treated me like crazy lmao, imo is a kernel scheduler issue, btw Idk why that happens , anyway there are plenty of custom kernels, in particular I used Floppy which fixes the problem.(Still need to tweak some kernel governor settings)

When i said it needs some tweaks, that is because it works in a strange way, the performance profile in the "Battery" section of LOS needs to be set to something higher, that controls the CPU, meanwhile there I also used an app called "Spectrum" that lets you control the GPU performance profile (Even though it should be control CPU), you need to set all of those to "Balanced"

Hello, I have the same problem. My MI 5 only works on miui. Any other newer rom with android Oreo brings me problems, slow looks like snapdragon 4xx. Game performance gets horrible. But they are only in the most recent roms, because in the stable JDC Team 7.1.2 rom it behaves absurdly fluid and fast, in Lineage 14.1 as well. I do not know what causes this but I can not use any more Oreo roms. I prefer Pure Android but can not use the new roms at the moment, I should settle for the nougat or miui roms. Well, I'm not saying that the new roms are bad, the work of the developers is wonderful, congratulations to everyone, but something in the new roms does not behave well.

Try the cosmic os. It seems to be working amazingly well. Also Los never worked for me, full of stutters and the ofc the fingerprint delay on lockscreen issue. Also yeah, jdc aosp should work, in my experiments, all AOSP based roms are working fine, there is some issue with Los kernel, and hence with all roms based off of it.

[Discussion] Wich ROM are you using and why?

So one of the things that sold the idea of getting this phone was the existence of an active community and plenty of custom ROMs. So much that I don't have time to try them all.
So can you guys share your own experience, which is your favorite ROM and why?
I can share mine in the following:
From the past couple weeks I've been bouncing between a few and honestly they all were pretty smooth and everything that I needed worked, so basically I will only consider the things I like in them, such as looks and feels.
HavocOS(official)
Pros: the one with the most customizations, there is even this built in theme called Glassy/Transparent that I love, btw is there a similar theme in any other ROM?
Cons: battery life is reasonable but not as good as stock ROM. Sometimes my Bluetooth head set would connect but the audio would only come out from the phone speaker.
PixelExperience(official)
Pros: really deliver the Google pixel experience, smooth, stable, if you like Google you will like this.
Cons: doesn't offer too much in the customizations department but that's just imo, as one could argue that customizations are not the point here, anyway, battery can last a full day but still not as good as stock. Also I'm not sure if this is an confirmed bug or it was just on my end but my phone couldn't fast charge, for some reason it was only slow charging pretty weird.
Superior OS
Truth be told, I saw somewhere saying this ROM was really good, so I've installed but the looks and feels didn't catch my eye, so I didn't used for long, everything seems to work but I can't say how much the battery performs.
AEX 6.7(unofficial)
This is one in using now, is made by the same dev that made SuperiorOS, doesn't have as much customizations as Havoc but it has enough options to make the phone look like the way it pleases me, although I do miss the Transparent theme. As the others so far it's been smooth and stable, it does have things that I like very much such as a Pixel or Oreo recents style, a progress bar in the music notification, my Bluetooth head set worked flawlessly and so far the battery seems to be as good as stock ROM but I will need a couple more days to confirm that.
So please share your thoughts about the ROMs you already tried, have you had any problem with any of them? Is there any ROM that is a must try?

Great post thank you for for bringing it up. I only tried pixel experience and EU Rom. I liked how smooth PE was overall great rom but i have faced some bugs so i decided to try EU Rom. So far i'm happy with MIUI because it's easy to control and i use the appvault often to take quick notes.

ATOM OS
ATOM OS 10.
Open app fast, easy to flash, pin saver, and is android 10.
Sorry my English.

Syberia OS. Enough customization, a little less than Havoc.
Great Battery Life, installed Evira 4.5, Kernel settings: alucardsched and 100mhz for both core clusters. GPU Adreno Idler enabled .
Enjoy a great experience. Only bug for now is LTE Tile in Quicksettings doesnt seem to work for me, but it is no biggy though.

AOSiP pizza
Cuz its the only ROM which has "launch music player when headset or Bluetooth is connected" option even havoc and RR don't have this and it's super useful to me.
The latest build by smglat also comes with genom which gives 10hrs sot easily.
Also the boot animation is dope

The problem with that ROM is that you have to contact the developer directly to find out what Gapps/TWRP to use etc.

I'm also using Atom os, 8 hour SoT and a taste of android 10, with Bitgapps and Gcam. I found the firmware 10.3.6.0 to be the best base for 10, just needed to edit the updater-script

Nice, great suggestion guys, I will def gonna try Siberia OS and AOsip at some point in the future, I briefly tried Atom OS 10 last week but unfortunately it didn't support exFAT for the micro SD card so that's kind a deal breaker for me in any ROM.
So far things have been working in AEX and the battery life is good.
The screenshot is my Sot with AEX from a charge of 90% to 20%, I don't play heavy games like CoD but do play games like Feh and Mario kart.

Xiaomi.eu MIUI 10.3.4 Stable + Evira Kernel 4.5 + Magisk
I was trying other roms like RR, Lineage and crDroid but they all had some bugs. I was finally testing Xiaomi.eu and it is my favorite because it is stable, debloated, has many optimizations and is updated frequently thanks to the large community behind. Also, I have debloated the rom more using XiaomiADBFastbootTools leaving a very simple and smooth rom.
With EviraKernel + Kernel Adiutor I get a great life in the battery using alucardshed or zzmoove governors, underclocking CPU and using Adreno Idler GPU + powersave.
Overclocking CPU (big cluster) up to 2.4ghz thanks to Evira Kernel helps me when I want to emulate things like Sega Saturn which run perfectly on the SD660.
With Magisk I rooted the mobile to be able to install Xposed modules and YouTube Vanced.
I think this combination of xiaomi.eu + evira kernel + magisk is the best I've tried in Redmi Note 7 to date.

Once you select a ROM and go to the download page look at the bottom, there is a changelog there.
I don't think the dev is on xda, even the SuperiorOS thread was created by another user, I was just looking at the dev's androidfilehost page when I saw that AEX had a pretty recent release and decided to try it out. So use it "As is".
Sent from my lavender using XDA Labs

well, i tried pixel exp for a while, it was great, but the proximity sensor bugging was annoying to me, so i decided to go with xiaomi.eu stable version. I really liked, i got used to miui interface and atm i think i prefer it over the stock android feel of pixelexp.
Tough i did try to install android 10 beta of pixel experience, but my phone got softbricked every time i tried to flash it so i gave up and decided to go tih xiaomi.eu weekly releases.
Also, the main reason i'll stay with xiaomi.eu is that they base their rom on Chinese stock, which comes directly from the phone vendor, which mean that it is quite less likely that the dev will just get tired of releasing regular updates and the rom get abandoned. I don't wanna get used to a OS only for it to not be supported anymore.. Not saying that it will happen on pixel, just that it is a fear of mine.

Nice, great suggestion guys, I will def gonna try Siberia OS and AOsip at some point in the future, I briefly tried Atom OS 10 last week but unfortunately it didn't support exFAT for the micro SD card so that's kind a deal breaker for me in any ROM.
So far things have been working in AEX and the battery life is good.
The screenshot is my Sot with AEX from a charge of 90% to 20%, I don't play heavy games like CoD but do play games like Feh and Mario kart.

Xiaomi.eu MIUI 10.3.4 Stable + Evira Kernel 4.5 + Magisk
I was trying other roms like RR, Lineage and crDroid but they all had some bugs. I was finally testing Xiaomi.eu and it is my favorite because it is stable, debloated, has many optimizations and is updated frequently thanks to the large community behind. Also, I have debloated the rom more using XiaomiADBFastbootTools leaving a very simple and smooth rom.
With EviraKernel + Kernel Adiutor I get a great life in the battery using alucardshed or zzmoove governors, underclocking CPU and using Adreno Idler GPU + powersave.
Overclocking CPU (big cluster) up to 2.4ghz thanks to Evira Kernel helps me when I want to emulate things like Sega Saturn which run perfectly on the SD660.
With Magisk I rooted the mobile to be able to install Xposed modules and YouTube Vanced.
I think this combination of xiaomi.eu + evira kernel + magisk is the best I've tried in Redmi Note 7 to date.

Thanks for sharing your experience. How did you debloat more over the EU?

Official ResurrectionRemix 7.0.2 (20190705)
Minor bugs (Sometimes phone needs multiple tries to wake up), but no force closes, restarts or similar at all. Even the WhatsApp camera (And therefore WhatsApp Web) can be made to work by enabling and disabling HAL3 in "System > Advanced".
I'm using it for these reasons:
1) Stability. The dream of a daily driver that you can rely on in every circumstance. If I have no signal, I know it's not the ROM, if Hotspot doesn't connect, I know it's not the ROM, if I install an app that doesn't function, I know it's not the ROM. Very few bugs and unimportant ones at that.
2) Customisability. Resurrection Remix is still the gold standard.
3) Battery life. It's phantastic. There may be ROMs that are a tad better, but this RR is already great out of the box, no custom kernel needed.
I know the build is a bit older already, but I still recommend this particular one. It's the last build before another developer took over.

Is the same font used in Nier Automata and in some Nintendo products, I've seen it go by different names you can look up for Rodin font, but the ttf file I used is called CafeSTD. Custom fonts must be manually installed.

Apparently he is using this tool XiaomiADBFastbootTools
But I would argue that a much simpler process, if you have root, would be to just use a file explorer to navigate to these paths:
Code:
/system/app
and
Code:
/system/priv-app
And just delete the apps you don't want to keep, reboot after and it's done.

Using this "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools"
Download from Github. I can't put the links because I am a new user
you need to have java installed on your computer to make it work.

I am using Unofficial Resurrection Remix 7.0.2 Latest version
As others already said very good rom that you can rely on a daily basis.
Very customizable, fast, no drain in battery.
For my use everything is working fine no bugs.

[EXPERIMENTAL] Throttling and it's caveats

While being owner of my Redmi Note 7, which definitely has some issues, I started experimenting with it.
Throttling is a common term amongst electronics and such. It's a way to safe our precious silicon from eventually cooking under high temperatures. There're a lot of issues involved here. Let me explain:
Xiaomi's belief is maximizing battery life while forgetting about optimal device's performance. Here's the issue, though - neither of which are properly calibrated. For a battery of this size, you would expect something better, but it's not. Looking through system files, there are several thermal config files, which simply tells to the thermal-engine binary at what state device should throttle. Sounds like a good idea, right? Yeah, not quite.
Upon opening these exact config files you see several lines, which describe temperature thresholds and which frequency device should start to use under it's determined state. There's more to this - GPU gets less voltage when it's getting warmer, thus reducing the ability for GPU to reach higher power levels. Everything would be great, if the device wouldn't start to throttle it's clocks at 45° degrees, which is basically nothing.
After seeing device's guts it's safe to state, that our phone has proper cooling done to it. Sure, it's basic, but with that much space and the price this phone is built for, you couldn't ask for better cooling.
So, what can you do to it?
There're several solutions.
-Deleting thermal-engine entirely and forgetting about the problem. Here's the thing, though - it's really dangerous, because not only you lose the ability to monitor your battery's temperature, you could cook your phone while charging. Charging throttling is a thing too, when phone slows down pulling current from a wall as soon as you are doing something intensive. It's a dirty fix with a lot of risks involved.
-Modifying thermal config tables. This way you could ensure device's safety while having optimal device's performance.
-Mounting hugeass cooler at the back of your phone or better yet - mounting cooler straight to the cpu silicon. Jokes aside, this is not recommended at all, unless you're insane and don't care about sacrificing device's size.
I'm actually thinking about making completely custom thermal tables and make them compatible with Magisk. Even if Magisk method wouldn't ensure enough confidence, I will make flashable zip for recovery flashers. Everyone's happy.
FAQ
-But the device has kernel level throttling monitor. That one works too, right?
-Yes, but it does not do anything related to cpu clock management and such. All it does is turning off your device entirely when undesirable temperatures are reached. Thermal-engine is what's monitoring temperatures and adjusting clocks when necessary. Kernel level throttling is there for additional safety, in case thermal-engine is not working properly.
-My device runs great. Why bother modifying what Xiaomi did?
-It's up to you to do anything with your purchase. If you are happy, it's fine, leave it as it is.
-I noticed hugely increased benchmark scores and games working smoother after deleting thermal-engine. Is that normal?
-Exactly. Here's your answer to what thermal-engine actually does. It hampers our device too much.
-When are you going to research this modification?
-As soon as I'm free from doing routinal things: school, job, home and such.

theres currently 2 thermalmod magisk module for our device, one is jthermal and the other is thermalx, currently using thermalx and it essentially removes thermal throttling, highest temp i got was 48°c playing pubg at smooth+extreme settings at noon.

I do not recommend using these mods! They completely remove the limits, leaving the phone vulnerable to overheating during charging.
but here is the link JThermal, I took the file I downloaded from telegram and uploaded it. To install use MAGISK!

Most of the custom roms reuse already available binaries and stuff from MIUI, unless dev is clever enough to transition fully to CAF, so it should work, I think.
From what I've seen, MIUI is not any different when it comes to thermal configurations. Both of them use the same binary and same configs (they might be changed, not sure)

Can you tell me how to delete thermal engine please iam currently using redmi note 7 pro.Iam getting a lot of throttling please help

Best miui 13 port for redmi k20 pro ?

Im still running miui 10 and beside sensor issues in the worst moments and batteryperformance decreased (8-10h sot), im pretty happy.
The release of miui 14 looks pretty interesting, same like miui 13. Unluckily xiaomi will never bring any of those and therefore might xiaomi.eu never aswell.
Meanwhile is there any miui13 port which is super stable and perfectly working (i heart of ghost, miui tn, aphixrog). Im looking for something to flash, forget and never regret (for the next full year).
How is the battery performance ?
I would prefer stock vendor & kernal, no custom "magic" from few days experience dev .
Or should i forget about the "upgrade", stay on miui10 and investigate the drain issues ?

I've tried Abhix.
Thread '[Q] Has anyone tried miui custom roms MIUI SR or AbhiX ROG Edition (both are ports of MIUI 13 on Android 12)' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...h-are-ports-of-miui-13-on-android-12.4530039/
How is it possible that you have 8-10h SOT in 2+-year old phone? 5h SOT is pretty good, 6 is very good.

Depends on the usage, but everything on my phone is adjusted to consume as less as possible (but i havent done wild stuff like lower clockspeed, kernal, voltage... only debloat, disabled everything which could be battery intensive in settings, using leandroid + greenify), meanwhile i range between 7-9 hours i guess, when i fresh installed it i ranged between 8-11 hours.
My battery should still have efficiency around 85-90%, im trying to hold battery between 15-85%.
To answer your question. I personally think everything after miui 10 is bad.
I may gonna try MiuiTN, according telegram groups that seem to be the best miui 13 port.

I checked miuitn 13 A12 but it doesn't have all languages (there is English and a few Asian ones only). Android security updates are from June, while RaphaelOS (also Miui 13 - 22.8.25, A12) are from August 1st. In general, I have the impression that all these roms are very similar. On stock kernel geekbench is 690 and 2675. On Steroid is 700 and 2747. But AbhiX feels more snappy.
Both roms (AbhiX as well) are without encription so you need standard recovery (I have latest official OrangeFox).

If there is a workaround to get native language in apps for me personally its not a big problem if i got english in os.
I havent tested a single miui 13 port so far, so i cant bring useful informations to this conversation unluckily.
According telegram groups MiuiTN seem to be the most stable, balanced rom and others are "kanged", but well yeah people talk on telegram...
I unluckily wont have time to test all of them myself so i might follow your experience ;D and maybe some other guys come along this thread and share their experience aswell.
Worst case i stay another year on miui 10 and get Rog Phone 6 after... Im just hell of annoyed my sensors do not work how they should on miui10 sometimes.

I have used EvoX 2 years back for a while, cant compare it unfortunatly and i wont flash another rom until i buy a new phone probably.
Well unluckily there are a few issues on Vos2.1:
- Udfps unlock sometimes does not work. (there seem to be the same issue on Los20 and according Los20 dev it seem to be a issue with android system)
- nightmode, reading mode, extra dim does not work together with dc dimming after unlock. (according Voltageos dev this is a common issue on most aosp roms)
- from time to time i notice scrolling laggs and rarely in games aswell. (could be related to kernel, but not sure)
- expandable screenshot ?long screenshot? slightly buggy ? (on miui it have been working better)
- on twitter i have noticed some issues like i couldnt go back to overview after reenter app, on discord after editing i have noticed scrolling does not work anymore. (but those issues can be caused by the app / restricted battery setting / android system idk)
Thats all i have noticed so far, more or less (if i have not missed anything). Anyway im very happy and think its a really great rom. The only thing which is bothering me the most is udfps unlock inconsistency and for night mode + dc dimming i am using twilight. (those things have been working better on miui, not gonna lie. )

I might just give it a go one day. I must admit that MiuiTN also looks tempting since I like the classic Miui style, but I can't find much reliable information on that rom.

I have not been using miuitn for a long time, so i unluckily cant tell you more about that. Miui13 ports for sure arent as stable as official releases / xiaomi eu roms.
So it might depends on your personal usage, you might not get around trying it out at your own.
You can also join the telegram group, there you can follow discussions about miuitn releases. People this days most likely use telegram. (which i personally dislike over xda, but what ever.)
