Miui-based Roms vs AOSP-based

I am new to moding on mi max 2.
My question is :
What are the advantages of flashing an AOSP-based rom like the unofficial lineageos versions posted here which are in beta in contrast with something like epicrom which is miui global-dev based with added features and customizations on top (and arguably more stable) ?
(also I have to install gapps, root and pretty much everything manually. And I also won't have over the air updates like some miui based Roms offer, so I have to come here and wipe everything to flash a newer version)
Please enlighten me if you have made comparisons yourself and know the differences.

First and the very important, battery life. Lineage OS wipes out Miui when it comes to battery life.

Personal Opinion
In my experience people flash custom roms like lineage os because they either want to give a new look to there phone experience or for the latest security patches or the stock firmware for there phone doesnt include the features they want

yep, nicely summed up
looks / UI, security patches, newer android version (miui is still on 7.1.1), features, battery life, having something "custom" on your phone

Best cutom ROMs for Santoni

Hi I just got a new Redmi 4x and finally managed to unlock it. What Custom ROMs are best in terms of battery life and stability? Oreo or otherwise?

I think best oreo roms are AOSP Extended 5.3 and Nitrogen OS

I'm aware of the latest Oreo roms and I know recently Xiaomi has released the source code for the santoni phone but still no rom is perfect, specially the Oreo ones, so I'm looking for the closest aosp/stock experience I can get with full compatibility, I think a nougat based rom will do fine but wich one?
I'm planning to install a rom, install greenify, have a good battery life, have more free space and still have full camera, gps and other compatibility with no issues.
Wich rom could you recommend me?
Thanks in advance.

Lineage is not updated. Use latest ROMs like Nos and pe

I had this same question when I bought my Redmi 4X.
I tried a bunch of the custom roms available and now I can say that the best is 8.1.0 Nitrogen OS
It's my daily driver and I have no complains about it

Xiaomi.eu rom

I tried every rom on nougat and oreo roms, and can guarantee that this build of Lineageos 14.1 is the fastest and battery also good, using that with nethunter kernel with enabled autosmp and it gives me 3 days of usage with 7-9 hours of screen usage

Oreo roms seems a lot buggy and not smooth as 7.1.2 roms, amd in 7.1.2 roms i prefer this

Pixel experience

xiaomi.eu is by far more stable one.
In Oreo there a not 100% good roms yet, still on permissive SElinux.
And aosp Nougat based roms.. tried RR/AEX/LOS/crdroid and they are about perfect(rr is my prefered)

Go fr RR NOUGAT. No complaints here

Nitrogen

Follow this thread, performance for Oreo roms will be updates soon. :good:

Is there any Oreo rom that has working in call volume controls? In my opinion, it is pretty crucial feature.

Lol it's pretty much the only bug on oreo but all people keep pointing it out.

Resurrection Remix bro. Im using it right now flashed it yesterday and it twice faster than the stock MIUI...

I've always been a fan of RR, but yesterday I installed msm xtended and it is so much better. I recommend installing hardrock kernel along with it.

You should try aex

witch rom and kernel should i use?

Hello guys.. yesterday I bought to my girlfriend a new mobile phone and I got from her the old one... And that is the mighty Mi max 2 ...
Please feel free to inform - advice me which rom and kernel is complete best for mi max 2 end which Google camera APK you use for better shots..
Thank you all.

You can use pixel experience rom with hardrock pie kernel for best performance and battery life along with gcam support

I've tested tonns of roms for Max 2 and now I'm on stock developer ROM with root and latest kernel from Hard_Rock. If you want gcam then install it using root, if you want smth else - then you can also install it via root.
This is my opinion of the best for this phone.

ArrowOS is most stable ROM currently. Using that paired with Hard Rock's latest Pie kernel will give you the best build. Pixel's Gcam is already baked into the firmware as well so you won't need to flash the modded Gcam like before.

i also have tried lot of custom roms and so far works for me best PixelExperience

I am also fan of hardrock roms and his roms are awesome and well optimized.
HERE THERE ARE FEW SCENARIOS:
a) IF U WANT TO UPGRADE TO NEW ANDROID VERSION AND U DON'T HAVE ISSUE DEALING WITH IN CALL VOLUME(oreo was joke):
Here are best pie roms:
1) for well round best balanced rom with balanced extra features go for arrow
2) for best plain and simple roms almost like stock , go for pixel experience or lineage
3) if u want huge extra features and u like to play with more and more features then go for havoc
** Kernel should be hardrock v1.6 for pie .great backup with speed even beats flagship devices in normal performance
b) IF U DONT WANT EVEN ONE SINGLE BUG AND DONT MIND STUCK AT NOUGAT THEN:
1) Best will be miui since no bugs, best sounds, everything is fine..you can choose between different miui modded roms..every rom is almost same
2) if u r custom rom lover then go for lineage 14.1 enforcing..best simple rom yet in nougat or Xenonhd (remarkable) which is best overall quality and media with customisations.
**Kernel always be hardrock kernel since top notch performance and huge control over kernel..u can get maximum out if ur device lol.
Hopefully above suggestions will help:laugh:

You created a whole thread for a simple discussion dear.. and even in ROM, KERNEL AND RECOVERIES DEVELOPMENT GROUP,
YOU MUST CREATE THE THREAD IN MI MAX 2 DISCUSSION GROUP..
pls try to ask these things in any development post , rather then creating a whole new thread for such simple questions..
Thanks you..

Stable rom and kernel suggestione for Mi A2

Currently on latest version of pixel experience and it sucks, kangmeng kernel is working fine but gcam (by dise) is not working.
I need a stable rom for daily use and long screen on time, possibly also a great kernel paired with a gcam.
Any help is appreciated.

Bliss rom without custom kernel. Its best Rom that I had. More than 220 Hrs without restarting for now

Derpfest is a very good and stable rom.
I use Agni kernel because it's the n'est custom kernel for Mi A2. It's a New phone with this kernel.

You can try AICP with Stock/Mystic kernel..

Definitely go for Evolution X, amazing performance and incredible stability.

Using Paranoid Android and have no problems, and feels fast while using.
