I am currently on Virtuous ROM and am getting sick and tired of sense 3.0. I have tried CM7 before and I didn't like it that much mainly because of the lack of a touch to focus camera, the buttons at the bottom wouldn't turn and a few other minor things that added up. But I am A BIG FAN of the launcher on the MIUI ROMS, can someone tell me the name of it or is it just a direct port of touch wiz? Anyways, there seem to be a lot of them but can someone tell me the one with the best speed, battery life, and gets updated regularly?
Thanks in advance,
Aodhan
The best MIUI ROM would be the officially supported one.

I used it for a couple hours but I found CM7 to be more polished. The launcher also wasn't as smooth as LauncherPro. I can't really comment on anything else except the MIUI Team will have a new release every Friday.
It's a nice ROM, it's just not to my taste.
Thanks, I tried it out but it just wasn't there yet. Plus the port to Incredible S needs some serious working on.
What about Mike's ARHD ROM without Sense?
Im using it and it's very fast, smooth and with good battery life.
MIUI is beautifull ROM, but couldn`t make dialer support russian simbols. Without that it`s kinda usless for me.

I'm pretty sure that one isn't any more "official" than any other one on the forum. I don't think miui-us has any official affiliation with the actual MIUI team in China, they're just a group that happens to support a lot of phones.
Hi guys,
I know its really hard to create a new ROM and updating it and giving to users. But since the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop I don't find difference between all major ROMs.
If there is difference, it is of the Bugs. Some ROMs got big bugs and some with small bugs. But rest is same. The looks the feel, everything same (Except MIUI - which is not on Android 5.0).
I have tried almost all of them. Thanks to all the devs. But my question is there any ROM which is unique???
I am getting same functions in all of them with same looks Even they are same in smoothness and working.
The difference is created by Cyanogen ROMs with theme engine, but now all ROMs now include that theme engine. So we are basically using the same ROM everywhere.
At the moment I am using DirtyUnicorn and I don't want to change because all the ROMs are same.
Is there any ROM which is unique??????? Any?????
Don't say that I should change theme or launcher. It just makes the availability of ROMs a joke.
I am still waiting for MIUI or Lewa if it arrives.

If you dont like them then by all means make one yourself. Just wait MIUI is also gonna look alot like the rest. Android is made for you to change things to make it your own. So use a launcher and a custom theme or make your own rom.
Also if you are looking for verity then you should not have gotten a nexus. Get a Touchwiz or Sense device. This way you have more options.
See I do agree with you. Most roms are pretty similar when compared to back in the days of A4.2.
What I think is more important is the choice of kernel. Allowing the ability to over/underclock and control voltages automatically and many other things. I think learning how to use a kernel and it's various governers is what will separate phones.
I dont know why so little roms have cm profiles. It's a feature that have much more benefits than any theme engine

See the second post.
I am not against devs and ROMs, but my only thought is that they are all same.
Even once we used to have great Paranoid ROMs with great features, but now it is nothing but same as all CMs.
With Android 5.0 Google has done something that is now killing Custom ROMs. The ROMs are becoming similar or I should say same.
MIUI is different because they are doing different, but all others are just mixing functions and giving you CM ROMs.

Well first thing is MIUI is not really different. They are just coping others as well. Notice how they are still on KK? Yes many features are the Same in alot of roms and that is because users have come to expect those and Devs are working like crazy to get them moved up to 5.0 and working. As for them giving you CM roms that is where your wrong. Many have completely ditched CM roms sources due to their dumb ways of merging untested code.
I wont even talk about Paranoid android. They never came up with anything original.
Android at the base is all supposed to look the same. This is what Google Whats and got it with the nasty thing they call the Material design.
I saw your second post. My answer will still be the same. The days of themed roms are over. You are given a clean base to make it your way. So take that and make it yours with a theme and launchers and such.

What I really love about MIUI is that they are working in completely different manner. They are working hard on including new features and providing new looks and with a big market for customization.
Whereas CM are great too, and they are the base ROMs for maybe all the ROMs we are using right now.
I don't think Paranoid didn't did anything new, they gave us Hybrid ROMs. But with Android 5.0, they no more my favorites.

Almost no ROMs are using cm as a base any more. Miui is just taking ideas from iOS. They are even working on a whole new setup so they can release devices in the us without apple sue them out of business.

Copying is what they are doing for themes. I don't think that's bad. iOS is more Android, so if MIUI is copying the design then it's not the issue. Their environment is different. So do CMs.

So let me get this straight. You think coping is ok yet dont like that all the roms "seem" the same to you?
IOS is more Android?
Your right their environment is different. They dont care what users want or say.
Cm is not even worth mentioning anymore really. They are fast becoming just as big a joke as MIUI in the android world. No one with any real thoughts of their own even use their roms anymore.
The problem is that we all think that the developers actually develop something.
The matter of the fact is that they only tinker with what Google gave them.
So I wouldn't hold my breath for a sense like rom that has its own framework.
No one has got time for that. Big things come from big companies. Or maybe from a team of good friends.
A long time a go a bunch of people gave us Theme Engine, Hybrid Mode, Profiles, PIE, Heads-up, Immersive mode and lots of stuff that was new at the time. I really believe that the creative process is, has been and will be strong on XDA - Developers... but i agree with the OP albeit for different reasons.
I think that as technology, products or processes are understood better, being innovative, creative or "disruptive" becomes harder:
1.- We (the consumer) demand a series of features that become standarized which tramples innovation
2.-And there is the thing with the source material P.E. There is so much a thinkerer can do with a hammer a 2x4 and a couple of nails... Same with android.
3.- As a technology matures the innovation rate diminishes. Look at clocks, TV, videogames or smartphones! Every year there are new models, but little game changing technology even when there are hundred of people working on with, fully paid and with the backing of big companies.
Science and technology advance is not linear... I think that we are on a low point on ROM innovation but to me, that only means that soon somebody will come up with something new and great.
Android roms are same?
Yes they are with a little difference in each and every rom ..coz they are built from the same mother source...AOSP...
Google itself builds it factory images from aosp with touch of google changes...
Every oem uses the aosp and modifies it to make sense, touchwiz, zenui etc etc...
Things have certainly changed in past few years when we only had cm pa pac man ..
Now we have 100s of options ..some developers even kind enough to merge our 'wanted' changes in their rom.
So instead of looking at this thing as 'all are same with little changes' , look it as a 'single thing with 100s of options/modifications' to exactly suit your needs.
Yes its confusing sometimes especially when you are a nexus user
Try a different oem if u want a great change on changing custom roms (migrating from touchwiz to vanilla android gives a wow feeling )
Of course they're 100 pretty much exactly the same roms out there. It's really hard to notice any difference among them. It´s all true. Also calling every room-cooker a developer is in my opinion little too much.
It's been already stated that if you want more variation is better to go for oem devices. however probably at the price of never getting fully working aosp/cm rom (unles we're talking about gpe devices). If you want variation go for flagship oems if you want to enjoy aosp go for nexus.

[Sarcasm ON]
"Same" is a relative term like "IS".
A relative term is that it is different for different people or situations. An example: someone who is 5 feet tall might think someone who is 5 feet six inches tall is tall, but someone who is 6 feet would think that that person is short.
So I voted no, I don't think all ROM's are the same but they are definitely very similar.
[Sarcasm OFF]
~Peace
Agreed, there does not seem to be a lot of innovation in Lollipop ROM features. I have tried Euphoria, TeamUB, crDroid, Slim, RastaPOP, OminROM and XenonHD.
So far they all have the same features. The best one really is XenonHD with its custom long press and double-tap actions on the Nav Bar buttons. This is a great carry over feature from KitKat.
All the other ROMs suck in terms of "new" features.
+1 ..
I guess after 3 4 yrs being on xda, flashing roms with different features, developers amazing us with new and unique features every few months, for me Now it all comes down to the daily use of these features
The PA per app color, pie and omni roms split screen were something that i could use as a daily driver. I really miss PA roms Pie, slimpie somehow is just isnt the same. I miss the tablet mode from PA too.
What i want as a user is a smooth stable rom with some basic tweaks that i dont find on a stock rom and less battery drain. Which i pretty much have with LiquidSmooth.
The speed of innovation has slowed down or rather there arent many more innovative things to do that can be used for daily use anymore i guess. Im not complaining here, just a thought.

I tried Norma N7 port which had made great strides in to stabilise it.
However for stability stick as closely to stock as possible. Custom ROMS are about added features and looks.
Just a rant on ROMS. I have been around development since the days of the original XDA mobile (2003) was around, but only comment when I need to.
I think it is a shame that some developers don't allow permission for their mods to be used by other developers and as such get those threads locked up.
Historically XDA developers is much about DEVELOPMENT. That is you take some one else's work be that Samsung, Google or Microsoft (or a known community developer) and then develop on it giving it additional features.
So if it is a significant development that should be acceptable other credit to its original founder. As for refusing to give permission then this is the new 'donation seeking copyright'.
I'm sure some will disagree but we need to see the overall aim of the concept of development. I think we are probably scaring developers away to other forums especially those that do not speak English natively.

I agree, the last version is perfect, no freezing or lagging like in the other roms. Only problem is that it hasn't been updated since August and won't be. Support is only from users. The developer has still achieved great work.
And I almost forgot how neat it looks with the N7 UI and layout. Extra functionalities like AOD are well integrated into the rom.
I'll still try the Darklord rom, as it is promising.
So one of the two I guess. But Smallwiz is more stable (final too) and more debloated.
can u afford us with the best roms for G900H variant?
hello,
i bought a mi5 with 32gb for my mum. at the moment she has a Motorola phone with quite to vanilla android.
i dont want to change the OS to miui for her. so i intended to flash mokee 71 (cm 14.1 based). but a read a lot about bad camera with cm roms and i am not sure if its a daily driver.
what rom would you recommend?
They are all the same... Maybe you should go for marshmallow roms... They are really more stable than n...
i bought the phone because i thought all sources are released and officiall CM would work great in any way. now i have read about problems everywhere. i am very unhappy with the device...
If you want nougat, i'd suggest AICP/RR. I've personally had issues with RR and Doze, for some reason the phone is active all the time and bleeds battery. I've seen it go down by 10% in 15 minutes. Although i think this problem is related to me only.
AICP is nice. And Only flash pico gapps. The others hog a lot of resources.
As for marshmallow, CM 13 is good, RR is also good albeit a few bugs, and hasn't been updated since 21st November.
as RR is based on CM i thought there will be more bugs than in pure CM?

try this "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini", it is working fine with my mi5.
There is a Snapshot of CM 13 https://download.cyanogenmod.org?device=gemini
i have tried mokee, which id basically a cm14 rom, and its running nice, except the picture quality of the camera.
I have been using XOSP ROM, somehow the screen on time is like 6-8hrs. It is crazy. It seems faster and smoother compared to Miui8 as well
At the moment:
AOSP based:
CHYPER OS --> good battery and youseful features
SLIM --> rock solid, almost plane
JDC AOSP ---> little feature, good battery and camera, good stability
CM based ( i m not a fan of cm roms but this one it's really good)
XENON HD: battery smooth, fast, cm features plus some more, really good battery and no drain.
i m using cache and data formatted to f2fs, for all roms.
CM 14.1 is great except camera quality. I would use that rom for daily use but now I switched to miui eu rom just because i will take full advantage of camera.
If they ever get camera quality even near to miui, I will switch back to CM.

after a lot of reading i think all non-miui roms have the same bad camera quality as xiaomi has not released drivers/sources for the camera.

The camera quality is quite on par with the Miui ROM on the unofficial Lineage 14.1 builds. It takes time for DEVs to fix bugs in custom ROMs before they can get it to become stable and then, can they actually improve things like camera quality. If you are not willing to wait, then you should always research on the phone and making sure the custom development on that phone is up to what you expect before buying it. The Mi 5 is a superb phone for its price, but trade offs have to be made too. Be glad that there are people who are actually working on making this phone even better. If you can't even appreciate and spare a thought about these Devs when you make such uncanny posts, then I doubt this community will be happy to have people like you over here either! They don't owe you anything for your "mistake" purchase.

thats not what i said. i appreciate the great work the devs do and did. the only thing i dont like is xiaomi's way of acting. xiaomi is always promising to release sources and so on but they dont do it in a proper way.
but i'm happy to hear the devs are on the best way to solve the camera problem.
I'm using the last official CM nightly and find it superb.
Stock camera is only average, but with Footej Camera from the Play store I'm happy with the results.
Just make sure not to install a full Google apps package since some of their apps don't play well with the CM ones. I use the nano package.

So speak out and call out bull**** like this. People who use their ROMs should be appreciative. I'm glad OP isn't one of those insensitive people!
I think the ROMs right now as we speak have suffered major updates, and all of a sudden I have doubts about choosing one instead of another, because if you guys check out the Development section, there's a lot of ROMs in there. We don't have any comparison or debate thread about one guy or so doing a review or brief about each and every ROM. So all threads and posts like this one (about daily usage and so) will only have a statement about current status of the ROMs. The devs aren't magicians, and there will always work to do. Bugs to fix, and features to be implemented. Just be patient.
Right now I'm in doubt of which ROM should I choose, and I hope you guys could tell the difference between each ROM (there's almost 10 different in xda). These are the ROMs available and I really want to know which ROM should I choose. I've currently Lineage OS 14.1 installed.

You have an ORD as much of us here. The only cure (if there's such thing) is using an apple phone. Many already did that, but after some time they bought again an Android. What I do, I use only Los currently Los 17.1. No major bugs, a good daily driver. I can't use anything than aosp for much time, in this case miui ROMs. At the time the devs abandon this device you probably already bought alot of other devices, so don't bother about ROMs support for this device. Check for help here instead.
