Best Mi Mix ROM Currently Available? (Advice)

Greetings Forums Members,
I thought I'd make a post here and get your opinions about what ROM to use. - I'm currently running Resurrection Remix from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...esurrection-remix-04-09-2017-t3587049/page420
So far everything seems to be running really well on this ROM, but before this Rom I was running Stock Rom with Marshmallow, then updated to nougat MIUI 9 or something like that and I really hated it... So I wiped, re-flashed the original Marshmallow Rom using Mi Tool. I then decided to install TWRP and Root my device and keep it on stock MM. It was really good and treated me well for the longest time. Eventually, I got bored of it and decided to try out some custom Roms.
I wanted to ask you all which Rom is currently the best Rom to use for the Mi Mix, would really appreciate some advice here. I'm mainly looking for something with good Battery Life and Fast/Smooth Rom.
- Thanks

AICP, It is the best and I think that besides Epic rom and Lineage that it is the only good one that is still maintained.

Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed response.
I'm currently using Resurrection Remix (ROM) - What are your thoughts on that? I personally find it to be really good because of the many feature it has included in the (ROM) - For example; you can really customize the (ROM) however you see fit. I find that to be the most appealing thing about the (ROM).
I'll be sure to give some of the other (ROMS) a try before settling on this one. I have yet to transfer all my dad over anyways since I've only been testing it so far. I'd like to make sure that there aren't many flaws before I settle.

Speaker switching in phone call and proximity sensor both work better in AICP, probably not a deal breaker, weekly updates and soon Oreo which there are a couple already.

I'll be sure to give it a try and see how it is. I decided to settle with RR now but I should definitely try out other (ROMS) before completely settling with RR since its the first custom (ROM) I've tried. I must say though that RR is very stable and has no flaws. Battery life is also very good.

RR hasn't been updated in months and likely won't be. AICP is the closest in terms of functionality (lots of config options etc) and is still updated weekly. Also, Oreo ROMs are starting to land (finally) so you might want to try those. I just built AICP for Oreo yesterday and I'm running it now. No major issues so far.

I asked for permission to release it unofficially, at least until they start releasing their own official Oreo builds. Hopefully I hear back soon.

I appreciate your advice here Gavin. I'll be sure to give AICP a try, it sounds very interesting.
- hopefully we'll get a chance to see you present your hard work with the 8.0 Oreo (ROM).

Viper is a great base rom if you want to customize it a lot

Awesome. Thanks for your input.
I've tried several ROMs that you've all recommended except for Viper. So far in my opinion I'd have to say RR has been the best in terms of speed, reliability and battery life. However, I'd like to give Viper a try as well just to see how it is in comparison to RR.
What version is it currently and what are your thoughts on Viper ROM ?

ViperOS is dead. Hasn't been updated in months and likely never will be. Rumours of an Oreo update hang on an article/video in Brazilian (where the team lead is/was based) showing it running on some device.
If you want to stick with Nougat for now, go AICP (more configuration options) or Lineage (closer to stock AOSP). Nougat ROMs are the only ones with custom kernels as yet too.
None of the Oreo ROMs are without issue for now, although they are minor for the most part. Another 1-2 should be along soon to add to Pixel Experience/Cardinal/RR/AICP.

I'm using @gavin19 's unofficial RR Oreo ROM. Love it. There are some minor issues but they shouldn't deprive you from trying it out. I strongly recommend it

As I understand there's not going to be an official Oreo update for the Mi Mix... It sucks bit at least we have custom ROMs to make up for it and that is amazing!!!!!!!! I hope we get it working good real soon!!!!

Ya I need to try Crdroid, as I am on AICP and i havent really had any issues with that rom it works great and I can customize it like I want.
I am very excited i saw that ViperOs has figured out the Oreo 8.1 and has released a few roms, im hopeful someone will find a way to get that working for the Mi Mix!!!!

I think the best rom ever made for xiaomi mi mix is the Xiaomi.eu MIUI8 Stable v8.5.4.0
Reasons:
~ Unlike all custom roms, the miui uses the whole screen and has real rounded corners and not software made ones which makes the screen look better!
~ The MIUI 8 for MI MIX includes a gesture to hide the navigation bar and have a full screen in any app that you want, you can easly control it when ever you want, best rom for full screen exprience when ever you want! also when you do swipe to hide the nav bar the apps use the whole screen and there are no black bars! none of the custom roms have that!
~ version 8.5.4.0 has no bugs in it and has the best battery life you will ever see on the MIX
~ all Xiaomi.eu Pros and features!
~ Proximity sensor works perfectly and loud in this miui version, you cant find any custom rom that has that working perfectly these days
~ Camera is very good on the official MIUI version!
~ all the MIUI pros and features
~ NO HEAT of the phone, something that happens in a lot of custom roms I used
~ Please note that you can use MIUI9 from Xiaomi.eu if you want, but you will lose the stablity and swipe to hide the nav bar amd the phone heats a lot (but you get android 7, and all the new features) not recomended on the MIX
I have used tons of custom roms on my phone: LineageOS, RR, AICP, AOSP. AIOSP, DIRTY UNICORNS, PIXEL EXPERIENCE. none of the are as stable as that rom and I always go back to that rom.
Have a great day!

Yeah, Viper is most definitely a good Rom to use. I've used it on many other devices before and it has always performed rather well. It's a grea Rom overall and the customization is what really caught my attention. So I vote Yes, viper is indeed a good Rom to use on the Mi Mix and just about every other phone that supports it. AiCP is also a very good Rom on the Mi Mix.

I don't know man... I've never found the battery life to be good on stock ROM. I completely understand what you're saying though. However, if I'm being perfectly honest here, I wouldn't go back to using stock. Don't get me wrong it's very well-built and smooth but the battery life has always been horrible for me not sure why...

Hi Bro want to find out more from you based on your experience
I have updated to latest weely rom 9.6 - 8.5.3 but my Line ap still cannot open.
I want to go bac to stable rom as you said. What do you suggest and how to do it? I am afraid I will lose the history in whatsapp and other chat apps if clean install.

Backup & restore? Whatsapp chats and media files can be backed up to your Google drive and there are other options available for backup as well.
Same thing can be done for messages if you use the Google messenger app for texting and if not, you can still backup your messages and contacts very easily by using this 3rd party app to do so... Which uses Google drive. Also this app backs up call logs, contacts and SMS messages. App name: SMS BACKUP & RESTORE.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
As far as apps and settings go you can always just use your Google account to backup all apps/files/data if you have the option turned on in settings of course.
General SD files like media files (pics, vids, etc.) can be backed up manually using your computer and internal storage or by uploading them to the cloud... which is for free.
How to revert back to stock? There are many guides available right here on the forums, if you just take a closer look you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Resurrection Remix 6.0.0 unofficial Oreo 8.1.0 Rom discussion

Hello there i'm using RR 6 unofficial by Arasthel https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=249040
Is FaceUnlock working for you? i got errors in logcat and it's not working for me.
here my setup :
twrp-3.2.1-0-chiron_raupe-20180218-1202_LOS.img
oreo_firmware_no_device_check.zip
RR-O-v6.0.0-20180222-chiron-Unofficial.zip
open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20180221-UNOFFICIAL.zip
edit after 2 weeks, rom is great and battery life is good, not issues at all except faceunlock not working and my usb headphones not working for calls but working for everything else.

Same issue for me. I tried faceunlock magisk module because it works fine with RR 6.0 on my s7 edge

Awesome !
ATM, is enought stable to use it as a daily driver? I mean, calls and camera (i don't want super quality, just something working) works ?
Thank you

try again RR 6.0 and again this f***king battery drain ! but always when i dont use my phone ! It's
incomprehensible !
Have lost 20% of battery in 1 hour without use it ! The phone is warm when dont use and cold when i'm using it

i have good battery life, 2 days+ better than miui with all optimizations (memory/battery) off

Personally I like Xiaomi.EU the best, it is always the most up to date, uses the latest source code and there are no issues with anything, battery life is outstanding. Absolutely there are many great roms, but for me is the most consistently stable.
If you try it, use the built in kernel, and it works fine with the latest magisk Canary.

If you need MIUI than xiaomi.eu is best option, if you need AOSP with extra gimmicks than you can consider HavocOS, if you need pure Pixel experience than PixelRom or Pixel Experience is your best bet. But there are several roms out there you can check but this is my own opinion and you asked for it :laugh:

I had a fingerprint issue with xiaomi eu. Where as soon as an app was launched it would detect ghost touches. Had to move over to lineage OS. Don't know if it was just me or it affected others too.

Tried clean flash, yet no luck. Strange thing is that this issue only occurs with some apps, while others work just fine. All other roms (lineage, havoc and pe) work without this issue. Real shame as I prefer miui.

Without a doubt, one of those custom roms custom roms has corrupted one of your partitions .
You need to use a fast-food ROM and restore your phone, Use Mi Flash make sure the bootloader box is not checked or use Adb.
Note: A recovery ROM will not fix your issue it has to be a fastboot "images" ROM. Images will be in the name of the file.
Afterwards you can flash this ROM and no longer have those issues.

Sorry, but you'll have to test them by yourself and pick one that works for you... what suits me probably won't suit you. The features that I use the most probably are not as important to you, and probably the things that are important to you I don't use as much in order to say they are stable. The apps I use probably are not the same as you, the signal strength, the carrier, the charger, the bluetooth devices, the root method, magisk modules or even if you are not going to root.
I'm enjoying the PE+ rom, but I did many tweaks to it and it works for me, but there are many people facing really annoying bugs that makes it a no go. So there isn't an easy answer for what you are looking for.

wow what kind of useless responses are those? He didnt say what is the best one, he asked what is the most stable dudes.

Hi! I tried most of them, PE+, HavocOS, AICP, LINEAGE, in my case the most stable and daily driver is Havoc OS, there is one problem on all of them for me, my banking app wont run on modded rom's so i reverted to miui, android one.
There is trial and error, some might work from start, some are harder to make them run ok, without any crashes. The fastest one i found was Pixel Experience+, the most stable one, Lineage OS(be carefull, it doesnt support google apps from the box), and the one which does any task well, good battery and stability in my case, was Havoc OS.

And your input was more than helpful! Thanks for your effort!
The most stable ROM is obviously stock.

Lol, no.
Stock has serious bootloop issues between updates.
If you're staying on stock you should still unlock bootloader, just in case. And backup important data before updates.
This saved me 4 or 5 times already.

Which Android version? I am on 10 and never had a boot loop after update but I always do it manually using fastboot.
I've also stripped Stock down to the bare-bones - no Google anything, except Play Services, Phone and Contacts and everything seems to work OK with no crashes ever.
I concur with your bootloader unlock advice.

Hi all,
I bought my A2 yesterday. This is my first time thinking of using stock rom instead flashing i.e. Lineage. Can you describe the steps to stripe down stock?
Thanks!

Root using Magisk, then use something like link2SD to get rid of the bloat. I always freeze the unwanted Apps instead of deleting them.

;83039631]Hi! I tried most of them, PE+, HavocOS, AICP, LINEAGE, in my case the most stable and daily driver is Havoc OS, there is one problem on all of them for me, my banking app wont run on modded rom's so i reverted to miui, android one.
There is trial and error, some might work from start, some are harder to make them run ok, without any crashes. The fastest one i found was Pixel Experience+, the most stable one, Lineage OS(be carefull, it doesnt support google apps from the box), and the one which does any task well, good battery and stability in my case, was Havoc OS. With pleasure, ViVa.

I need help regarding lag while Gaming.

I've tried many custom roms. Every have some kinda major issues. I'm back to MIUI 12.0.3 . Basically , I want lag free experience in Games like PUBG. I once had lag free experience, I don't remember in which version of stock rom. Because almost every miui version is laggy. Please helpful answers only. Not ****commenting like it's cheap phone.
I've rooted phone , tried grenify , performance tweaker , even removed bloatware.
I want the best gaming experience I used to get in some version of MiUi .
I'm currently on miui 12.0.3 .

This is not a gaming phone , is low-end , I'm sorry to tell you what you don't want but that's right, you won't get better performance with any custom rom or any module , that won't improve weak hardware. MIUI is the best option for this device. Buy a more expensive phone if you want to play games

Try to install a rom as close to stock as possible. Then you can try a couple of performance enhancing magisk modules like nfs injector or magnetar. Test it out for yourself and see which module gives better performance. Feel free to ping me for any help.

custom roms and magisk modules does not improve performance drastically... Custom Roms have a lot of issues ... MIUI is the best choice for this low-end phone

Idk about this phone specifically, but miui is known to be very bloated and I think a stock rom would do more good. Also I have personally tested both the magnetar and nfs injector modules and can say they do give a drastic improvement in performance

In the case of this phone , not at all... i tried Custom ROMs and they have various issues and doesn't have good performance ... I'm on MIUI 12.0.3 and for me is the best ROM for this phone... Stable . Fast . no bugs at all and very good battery...

I can suggest you to make a factory reset of your phone or downgrade to miui 11.0.4 i hearded that gives better performance...
or go for a better phone like the Poco X3

I've magisk installed. Should I install any of these on miui 12.0.3? Any precautions or it's just simple?

In my opinion you dont need a module like this,ive tested all modules,tweaks,mods and by far the best is to debloat your stock rom a lil bit,freeze some unwanted apps and its ok,you cant do more,believe me.Cheers!!!

I disagree with this
I am running nezukoOS from https://t.me/redmi_9/556
Its the smoothest ROM for this device currently (ive tried all of them)
But, custom roms have a great battery life compared to miui, my SOT was extended by 5 hours (!!!) from just switching software
Its true that most custom roms are slower than miui but i dont see any difference with nezukoOS
the reason why i switched from miui was usability, and privacy
I found miui to be incredibly privacy invasive and it kept killing all of my background apps, which werent issues on custom roms

Either downgrade to miui 11.4 global vendor (has no regional bloatware)
Or "upgrade" to miui 12.0.8 chineese vendor (back up your imei , nvram , nvdata) before doing so
Just remove all of the chinese crap (you dont need adb or root, just lets you remove it manually) and you are good to go
the version from china seems to be more battery friendly, and performs better
