Hi there guys, just got this amazing phone yesterday and so far all going good, besides that i have 2 main questions
1. it is worth to update to Nougat (Official MIUI)? i mean, in battery life, performance, between other things, or it is just better to stay in MM? wondering since reading some comments, some say that is going so far all good, and other that it is just a buggy update
2. If the case 1 is no, it is worth to install Custom Roms? how much is the performance hit, battery hit, between others? i always had some low-mid range phones so i made everything in custom roms to get better performance, but i don't know if in this case is better (about going from MIUI to custom roms)
that's all, thanks in advance!
Hi welcome aboard !
1- I just use Miui until they allowed me to unlock my phone. So I don't know because it was on MM.
2- I can reach 5-6 hours SoT with latest LoS ROM. No lags, just very minor bug. (Be careful some screen didn't response well on custom rom if you use glass tempered. You can search it "JDI LGD mi5" for some informations)
1. There aren't many visual UI changes to the Officail nougat version of MIUI 8. RAm management has improved on the latest MIUI 8 Nougat version and a few additional settings are provided. Give it a try it is stable but if you don't like the look and feel of MIUI than flash custom ROM
2. You will need unlocked bootlaoder to install custom ROM. I would recommend following Custom Roms for you to install
(a)Official Lineage OS 14.1 or
(b)Resurrection Remix 5.8 (Based on Lineage OS 14.1) if you need more customisations

1. I would steer away from the Nougat releases as they are still very buggy and there are no observable benefits over Marshmallow
2. You can use custom ROM if you like but if you go through the forums they all seem to have problems. Personally I found Gobal Developer ROM 6.11.3 to be the best so far.

Thanks for the info! i installed OctOS and it went all good, using DragonXia kernel (Not OC) on my 32GB model since the kernel itself (like on stock miui) it is not capped and it runs really good, it is nice to see android 7.1.1 (tested nougat on 7 and well, as you said, it is like the same as with the mm one)

Well Nougat and MM are likely similar on MIUI.
But Nougat is much smooth and RAM management is better.
I won't suggest you to use Stock but I will.
Seems funny !
Actually instead of using official stock, you better use Xiaomi.eu rom.
This is a custom rom but a stock rom.
Based on CN Developer and CN Stable. It's you choice which one you prefer.
I personally think Xiaomi.eu is one of the best rom out there.
Give it a try.
Besides this one you can try Slim Dragon rom. This one is just amazing.
Mi5 roms stock or cm based are bad optimised. It's frequently lag while scrolling on some apps like Twitter, Tumblr Facebook with Snapdragon 820 unbelievable but sad true.

You can reboot to recovery from update setting but you will only see a cable and phone logo and it's useless. If you have already flashed twrp, you can go from there. About waking up lock screen, do you upgrade via ota or flash fastboot rom? I flashed miui 8.2.2 fastboot rom and didn't have a problem.

1. I'd say Nougat is slightly better.
2. No LOS/ASOP based custom rom is complete actually.
you can try xiaomi.eu rom. Best by far.

You must use zcx twrp to flash miui recovery zip. Official twrp will cause bootloop. If you are comming from custom rom, full wipe is recommended.
Can install any stable official rom with custom recovery?
Unlock bootloader and rooted

1)By Flashing Only AOD Supporting Custom Kernel will not help to enable AOD on Stock Rooted Nougat Rom
2)There need some editing in Framework-Res.apk as well as addition of AOD related stuff within root/system/priv-app And root/data/users/0/system_settings.xml etc.
3)Khongloi Nougat Rom N5 Based was previously supported by AOD especially for Note 5 Based custom rom BUT from Galaxy S8+/Note FE release it was outdated as Devs Released S8+/Note FE Ports
(Also there was issue for AOD brightness optimization due to AOD drivers used afaik on AOD Supporting Note5 Based Roms)
4)So the best way to use AOD is to flash Any AOD supporting Custom S8+/Note FE Port And Flash AOD supporting Custom kernel
(Only 2 AOD Supporting Custom Kernel are available ATM for Note 5 i.e. Khongloi Kernel/LD Kernel)
Hope This Info Helps You A Lot

1)Easy Steps:-
Flash The Rom/Choose Temporary CSC In Aroma Installer/Flash AOD Supporting Custom Kernel/Reboot Device From TWRP/Complete Initial Setup/Again Go To TWRP/Flash Jio VoLte Fix/Reboot Device/Enjoy Jio VoLte
(If VoLte Icon Doesn't Appear Even After 2 Minutes Kindly Go To Settings>Connections>Mobile Networks>APN>Reset APN To Default)
2)Yes i am talking about Samsungvn.com/Infinity Note FE2.1 Rom thread only by dev lam1990
Note:-
If you extract Jio Volte fix.zip and See there are contains only in system/csc and system/etc folders
So before flashing Jio Volte Fix.zip You Can manually delete contains after Booting Up With whichever CSC you selected while flashing Rom in Aroma Installer from Current system/csc and system/etc folders to get perfect VoLte access
(Only Delete Same Specific files Which are there in Jio Volte Fix.Zip's system/csc and system/etc folders)
Then flash Jio Volte Fix.zip too to avoid further flashing errors due to CSC overwriting
I just bought a Redmi 4X and it's running MIUI.
For those who has the phone for more time already and experience. Which rom is the best for Redmi 4X in terms of performance/free ram and batery life?
MIUI? Lineage? Ressurection Remix? Other?
Use MIUI Pro/Xiaomi.EU For Best Battery Backup and Much Personalized Option in addition to MIUI.
For stock Experience, You should go for RR Official or Many Users Reports ViperOS have got them the best Battery Backup and Performance is also Good. Try Dot.OS too
I have tried some custom roms, but somehow I always end coming back to miui. For custom roms I really like mokee and the last unofficial AEX with f2fs support (I think official RR should be almost the same but right now I don't want to flash again). The problem with mokee is xposed and safety net. And AEX it feels so smooth, but after some days I noticed a drop in performance, speaking about games like asphalt Xtreme, but if you don't play games then you should be fine. Right now I'm with miui global dev 7.12.21 debloated and clarity 1.8 kernel, and I'm getting really nice battery backup without any loss in performance.
Oh and for miui, I think the best it's miui eu. But I recommend to install the 7.12.21 build. The most recent versions have bugs with notifications and camera2api. Multi pro should be good too, because if I'm not mistaken it's based on global dev, so it's already debloated and has the new notification shade.

I'm new to the Redmi 4X XDA thread here, any you tell me what's going on with this Encryption bug in TWRP ?
I've just unlocked bootloader using Mi Unlock tool and wanted to install TWRP and root to backup and then Flash RR Rom .
Do i also have to face this encryption bug as well as everyone is talking about in twrp threads ? (I've not enabled any type of encryption in MIUI. Settings are same as factory new MIUI version and use simple PIN as screen lock)
Which TWRP version should i use to have completely bug free experience ?

MIUI encrypted out of the box.
I'm on TWRP 3.1.1-0
All you have to do in order to decrypt:
Boot into TWRP recovery
Wipe
Wipe data
Format data (it will ask you to type "yes")
**You'll lose every single data in your device, so you better make a backup of your wanted files**
Make sure to disable dm verify before you boot into system (even if you just flash new ROM and GApps):
Boot into TWRP recovery
Advance
Tools
Disable dm
Cheers
I've just taken stock of my new MI8 128gb in white and love it after 24hours.
The question is should I update to MIUI 10 and Android Pie or just Pie - I heard some things are not so good with Miui 10 namely GPS which is important to me.
Before I update what are your thoughts as i'm already thrilled with the speed and look, also is there some really good camera app should get or other useful apps?
I have Spotify, netflix, whatsapp, FB + messenger, Samsung health + Galaxy wearables ( to go with my galaxy watch).
Thanks for any tips on next things to do to improve this phone
Pro: The MIUI camera really isn't very good with old versions. And you won't be able to use Google Camera Port(which is vastly superior) on those old MIUI versions.
Con: Most people report worse battery life with newer MIUI Android Pie versions
Flashed havoc Rom and never looked back. If you are okay with unlocking bootloader and doing a little flashing, Havoc is a far far far superior rom to miui, with great Google camera.
Havoc-OS is very good ROM, but it is not superior then MIUI. I have been used Havoc and liked very much, but i am back to MIUI XEU ROM, and it is better then Havoc. Also you can install GCam on miui without root. This AOSP PIE are good but all they have something missing. I recommend you to install XEU ROM
Yeah no Glonass or dual gps support on havoc os

Hi, I'm not very tech savvy but I thought one person reported you can get gcam without rooting.... is not your suggestion of unlocking bootloader and install TWRP recovery - rooting? I assumed there was just some apk we could download and install.
I dont understand what you mean about rooting? twrp?
this thema is name "Android Pie and Miui 10", i understand that you dont know what to use, AOSP Android Pie, or Miui Pie? i hope i am right. If you want to use AOSP Android Pie, you need twrp, and unlock bootloader. And if you unlock bootloader and install twrp then it is better to install XEU ROM then AOSP Android Pie. AOSP Android Pie or XEU ROM you cant install just as apk.
you dont need root for GCam, just download apk and install , for example this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog355/
I give you link of Gcam thema here on forum, to read, not just first post.
Hi, i own my Galaxy Note 8 now about 2 years and want to switch to a custom rom.
Previously i owned an Xiaomi Mi 5S and a Galaxy Note 3, after switching to Custom Roms there, i missed some Stock Rom features(like Samsung Camera App).
So my question, can is still use the zoom/dual camera feature with a custom rom or does it only work with the stock camera app?

Flashing a stock based rom keeps all the features (once you flash TWRP, Spay will never work again as Knox will trip, there are patches for shealth and secure folder though) If you flash a AOSP rom, ie lineage OS which is android 10, you will lose stock camera and all it's features. I can't personally tell you what the camera is like on Lineage OS, but it will definitely not be better than stock.
