At the moment, I believe that Miui Pro is the best. I just installed it yesterday. It has so many additional features that I can't begin list them all, and there is no doubt in my mind that it has the absolute best battery life.

My first choice was Pixel Experience , but I didn't find options I was after, then moved to Havoc for about a week - too many options, issues with notifications and fingerprint working erraticly on online banking (issues with magisk perhaps). Now I'm settled with crDroid for now and found this quite good, Still have lineageos and few others to try. I'm wondering if any of the ROMs will show led notifications while connected to a charger?

What is the last version for mi8?...Otas updates?...Weekly updates?
thanks!!!

I don't have much time to test all those ROMs, so I always choose stable MIUI ROM. I tried xiaomi.eu ROM, but battery didn't last more than 1 day and SOT was about 4 hours. Then I installed Mi Room and it works like a charm. The developer also maintains own TWRP, brings always fresh news about Xiaomi brand on his page. The major drawback is that the site is fully russian. But google translate will do the job. With this ROM I have SOT about 8 and more hours, Wifi, BT, GPS, data always on.

About mi room did you using beta or stable? I suppose that stable but I would like to confirm.

Yes, stable. Betas are also good, but I don't want to spend my free time downloading and flashing new rom every week.

Then don't.
I mean I know that you know this already. But you don't have to flash a new Rom every week. Just resist the urge. I will try Mi-Room sometime. But at the moment Miui Pro is truly one of the best Rom's that I have ever used. According to GSam just now, SOT is 9 hours and 58 minutes
I stopped flashing weekly doing because it becomes too much like an addiction and takes too much of my free time away from other more important things like yelling at my kids........joking.

No its based on Beta.
Personally, I prefer the beta. But as you know you will occasionally see bugs.
I have been using the beta roms on my Mi8 for about 3 months. Honestly I only see bugs occasionally and if there is a bug, I just dirty flash back to the prior release.

I have tried MS and eu rom. Loved MS because of customizations. (Useful). So what about MiUI Pro rom ? What customisation available?

I am going to bed, so I will have to give the list later. Pretty much everything you can imagine. For example, everything that I have seen in Miui Roms from Nougat up through Pie. But all incorporated within a Pie Rom. What is really useful, is the Smart Network options, the extra connections timers and battery savings scripts that go well beyond typical Miui. Plus Miu Pro has the menu animations from Nougat, not sure if you know those, the folding, unfolding, overshoot etc. It doesn't do much but its a neat looking novelty, your can import any theme, as I have mentioned the battery life is phenomenal.
I need to sleep now. Yes, I definitely love that Rom. But I will check out the ew Mi-Room rom too since I have tried it yet.

Hi Rajeev, I messaged you.
The most current version is 9.5.9. However, It is my understanding that Miui Pro is only updated monthly and 4PDA has been a great resource for me. As you may know, it's very difficult getting past the Cyrillic captcha on 4PDA so I joined the site with help from a Russian friend.
For the benefit of other readers I will reiterate something I said to you privately
I assume that OTA is one of the benefits from having a subscription.
With that being said, I have dirty flashed Miui Pro and other EU weekly beta custom roms with zero issues
Flash, dont root yet / boot to system / update google store apps / reboot to recovery/ then flash Magisk/ Enjoy
Finally, Miui Pro is so very good so I definitely recommend that any interested parties check it out. If anyone can afford the OTA subscription, I am sure that the developers would really appreciate your support. Otherwise, I know that updates via 4PDA have been ongoing for a long time, because I have used them on my other devices. Because of the long-term consistency with 4PDA updates, I have always assumed the updates posted on 4PDA are from the developers themselves and the link that I posted a couple of days ago is always updated with the latest Miui pro ROM releases as the become available.

I will most likely go for Syberia, once my Mi 8 can be unlocked, with Pixel Experience and LineageOS being the backup options.
First and foremost, I look for a ROM that provides a fast experience, good battery life and stability. Customisation options beyond that what AOSP offers are welcome, but not a necessity.
What would you guys suggest, given I don't want to use MiUI-based ROMs.

Which one original android ROM is the best for Xiaomi mi5 is best?

Sorry for spamming thread and lame question, which one is better, AOSP, CyanogenMod or any other original debloated Android ROM?
And when Xiaomi Mi5 will get many custom roms and official CM support?
Deez nuts
you should try out yourself, it's depends from person to person....
There's no such thing.

It seems that CM will be official for gemini (Mi5) from now on, thanks to xiaomi releasing it's kernel sources a while back.
Althoug many custom roms were already available, without a proper kernel their performance was very poor. So, if you don't want to test which one will suit you the best, I recommend you to wait a few more days to allow devs to start creating their own custom kernel versions, so the device can perform on its max
I have been using CM13 by bgcngm along with the Falcon Kernel by Harrynowl and so far it's amazing. I've had no issues with this configuration and can say it's WAY better than MIUI. You check it out.

Well let's see...
MIUI has this annoying feature (probably to conserve battery life) that whenever you close an app from the recents tray, anything that you had enabled in the Accessibility settings got disabled.
Secondly, MIUI's customization is nowhere as close as to CM's. I know MIUI looks great and all and the theme engine is pretty good but I still prefer stock over it.
There's no Google Now On Tap on MIUI.
MIUI doesn't let apps run in the background (again, to conserve battery), but it's kinda too agressive. Like not even Greenify can run for long periods.
Can't root MIUI unless you're using the China Developer ROM.
I could go on and on but then I'd be nitpicking on MIUI. These are a few reasons from the top of my head.
Also, I've been following this thread for battery optimization. It's pretty darn good and lets me go through 2 days on a single charge.
MIUI has better battery life than stock CM. No question about that. But CM's strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses.

Really man!!! I never try any other ROM than MIUI - Currently is MIUI 8 and it is realizable, durable and fast. Can you please share what functions are better?
I would say cm14.1 is best. Except the camera. The dev can't port it perfectly. Otherwise it is perfect
I entirely agree with you.

Unfortunately I don't think that there is any other alternative that could replace the global ROM. the CM O.S. have other (unsolved) problems.

You do know that on MIUI battery saving mode is activated my default right? Is not that hard to disable it.
MIUI do let application to run in background. You just need to turn off MIUI optimisation and set Memory optimisation to "off" in Developer Settings.

Yeah, well it doesn't really stop killing the apps. Right now I'm running CM 14.1 and it is AMAZING. The quick switch between apps is phenomenal. And unlike MIUI, it actually keeps my apps the way they were when I last used them.
I guess you did not use MIUI much

Secondly, MIUI's customization is nowhere as close as to CM's. I know MIUI looks great and all and the theme engine is pretty good but I still prefer stock over it. it is subjective. There are lot more nice looking themes for miui then for cm ("nice" is of course subjective too)

I really wonder why people spread already wrong proven rumors CM is basically an alpha rom with numerous bugs in it. It can not compete with MIUI for a daily driver.

Huh. You make some excellent points. I was referring to an older build. Maybe the first MIUI 6 one, IIRC. However, it is my personal taste. I can never switch back to MIUI after CM 14.1. It's just so good. I'm not saying that MIUI is bad. It's just that CM 14 is REALLY good. Another issue (and I may be nitpicking here), is that I use LastPass a lot and it requires to be switched on in the accessibility services. From what I had gathered, I had to keep turning the Accessibility setting on every time I close the app/restart my device. If there's a work around, do let me know....
Maybe MIUI is different now... If you can tell me how I'd go about rooting the Global MIUI 6 ROM, I might just give it another shot!

Hi,
as Valdimir already stated, just flash the superuser zip and thats it. Btw. we are currently on MIUI v8 and v9 is around the corner. I do not want to bash CM. It is surely a good room, but I would not choose nor recommend it over a nice and stable miui rom. In fact I wonder why people do not buy the oneplus device, if they plan to use it with CM. It has almost the same specs.
cheers

I'm not bashing CM neither. I just don't recommend it as dailg driver yet. And probably never due Xiaomi keeping larg part of their code close-sourced. And as I am concern, CM will die in few days (31st December). LineageOS is too far away in the future for me. A new infrastructure must be found, Cyngn paid developers must be replaced, a new fund source be found. Personally I don't see LineageOS as same level of functionality as CyanogenMod anytime soon. Time will tell.
I can't tell anyone "Hey! Install CM14.1! It's amazing! Well...is not perfect yet...but hopefully all the bugs will be fixed and camera will work as same quality level as MIUI in the remaining 5 days.

MIUI or CUSTOM ROM based on CM13?

Hi guys...which rom is better for Xiaomi mi5 64gb? Previously i have MIUI 8, now i changed to RR 5.7.4...which is better? RR, AOSP, DU, other or MIUI 8?
It's up to you to find the ROM which suits you best. Some people love MIUI, some people don't...
All ROMs are good, some of them offer more customizing features and have more "power" for you to handle. Don't forget stability when rating a ideal ROM for you. If you want a daily driver, you surely want no bugs, and all things working. But, only you can evaluate that.
I recommed MIUI for stable and RR for customize
I been on miui for a while now but recently changed to cm13 I'm satisfied as hell, battery life is great and customization as well.
Skickat från min MI 5
I have a Mi5 32GB and have used MIUI 7/8, RR and CM13. Of the three MIUI is the worst (except battery life) and CM13 would be the best. The problem I had with RR was constant bootloops but it's customization is a tad bit better than that of CM. You can check out the official Nightly for CM13 here and flash it using a custom recovery like TWRP.
Personal preference plays a huge role here so I suggest you try each on your own and then select one. I have Xposed installed on my device so I don'y have to skimp on RR's customization features.
As was mentioned above - it's up to you. So you should try them (ROMs) by yourself because it's impossible to predicts what is more important for you and your evereday tasks.
I'm using MIUI rom (Xiaomi.eu 6.10.13 rom) because it works better with CDMA networks. Recently I've tested Official CM13 - Good rom, smooth, fast, very good battery life. But I didn't like how it works with networks (CDMA+GSM/UMTS).
Thats why I restored to 6.10.13 rom

Definitely Stock ROM.. Preferably EU, as its based on Stock.. Because, CM builds are still under development as in Nightlies..

Considering the amount of apps installed and the ones installing additionally, and the wakelocks are factors for battery duration.. CM has very few system apps compared the stock or any stock based.

Does the MIUI have German language? If no (which I am assuming/reading) does the CM13 or a custom ROM have this?
Also I am still searching for the "how to get TRWP onto my new phone post" (yes I have been searching) so would appreciate if someone could post me a link, thnaks!

The best MIUI rom if you want German language is xiaomi.eu one. Why? While Global Stable MIUI does have german language, xiaomi.eu is basically chinese version with Google Play and no chinese crap. Chinese Version gets updates more often than global version. Here is the link with the installation guide (TWRP installation guide included).
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...r-xiaomi-mi5-unlocked-bl-only-released.31231/
Idle battery drain on MIUI 8 (.eu) stable for me is mostly 0.0%/h over night, according to GSAM Battery monitor. That's after freezing most of the system apps with SD maid.
Day-to-day usage is ~1.9%/h, listening to music over BT for about 6h, browsing, whatsapp. So, a charge lasts 2 days for me.
I don't think CM would make much difference there, and personally, I like MIUI.
Custom roms for Xiaomi Mi5 are quite good if you don't need camera, if you are happy to use your phone as a single sim phone, if you love to actually press the home button.

For what it's worth, I can use my Mi5 as a dual sim phone just fine under CM13... Nothing wrong with the CM camera as well. Only "problem" is the lack of the capacitive home button, I'll give you that.
Personally, between having to deal with the crappy MIUI notification implementation and the lack of tap home button, I chose the latter

The bug when the battery reach 5%, data connectivity keep dropping off, Bluetooth connections the same, camera issues, dual sim issues. Those are just few issues reported by people on last 2-3 pages of CM thread. Don't get me wrong...i do appreciate developers job. And their work it's more difficult because Xiaomi just released the kernel source code. And only partially. But today, 30th of October 2016, there's absolutely no custom rom without having something broken. Is MIUI perfect? Not at all. As you said, the way MIUI is handing notifications it's far to be handy. But stability and functionality wise, no custom rom can match MIUI today.
Love miui don't know why everyone hates on it.
Will flash cm 13 if it gets stable and see if I like it more on my mi5. If miui 9 gets released before cm 13 gets stable though I won't.
Well Vladimir, not everybody is facing those bugs. I am not (the 5% battery one I would probably, but who cares!) That's why I am not updating the build in currently on Fantastic experience and solid enough to make it as my daily driver.
But I totally get what you mean! Flashing such experimental ROMs isn't for everyone, I would most def. agree with that and would not necessarily recommend it if you don't want to have to deal with some odd bugs once in a while. And yes, MIUI is a very solid and polished skin (certainly not bug-free tho!!)It's just a little bit too "iOSy" for me.

Xiaomi.eu really better ram management?

Hey guys I'm using a mi 8 for three days now and I'm sick of the bad ram management of the MIui 10 globe..tried everything.. I read a few meanings but I wanted to ask again:
Is the ram management really that better in the EU Rom? Because this socks so hard right now.. This would be the only reason for me to unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Thx in advance guys. Best wishes.

Is the ram management really that better in the EU Rom? Because this socks so hard right now.. This would be the only reason for me to unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Thx in advance guys. Best wishes.

I don't think that xiaomi.eu has better ram management. It based on China miui rom with multilingual and Google play services. If you want to stay on miui add apps to autostart and lock these apps at recent apps. If you want to better ram management just try any custom rom based on aosp or los

yes, it's absolutely better. I use it and I switched my parents who are in their mid 70's over to Xiaomi EU and they like it better to. My dad who knows absolutely nothing about about phones, computers or any kind of tech said that to him it feels smoother.
Since 8.15 Xiaomi .EU have adapted Miui 11 apps into the build, I made posts about this in the Best rom section with screenshots.
Personally, I like that there are no ads whatsoever, and that battery life is incredibly good. Especially when the Miui 11 extreme saving function is enabled. This mode limits the device to 9 apps and I havent charge my phone since about 5 days ago, and still have plenty of battery left. Granted, as a test I did not use my usual apps such as Youtube, Twitter, XDA, Reddit. But, I still used it for calls, messenger, hangouts, and reading the news.
Its like anything, it's up to the user. Some people prefer stock, some prefer AOSP, and some prefer custom stock roms such as Xiaomi.EU. There is graph of a recent poll here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/index-roms-kernel-recoveries-tweaks-t3853178
Try it, if you don't like it then you have the option to go back. FYI, if you stay on stock you can sign up for early access to official Miui 11 apps , in the settings of the updater. Next to apply for early testing of android Q /Miui 11 before its available. probably in November.

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.

Question Should I custom rom

Hi, I have my only good phone which is this redmi note 11. I was wondering if its worth it to flash custom rom and use it as a daily drive either flashing it pixelplusui or pixel experience. Is it gonna make the phone better to use or worsen the experience of this phone.
For me yes you should switch to a custom ROM. MIUI for this device is too nerfed and bugged to begin with. As for experience that depends on your preferred ROM and your device variant (as of now custom ROMs on 4/64 variants too laggy). I personally use Pixel Experience and it definitely made my experience better and what I deserve
Indeed, switching to a custom ROM would improve your experience. I switched to PixelPlus UI because MIUI has so many bugs, flaws, and sporadic app crashes. It was the best decision I ever made. When I flashed the PixelExperience rom, I thought it was a little jittery to use, but PixelPlus UI was the second rom I flashed after that, and it was the best one. I found it to be a lot smoother than PE. I haven't tried EvolutionX or Derpfest, but I plan to someday.
i wouldn't recommend it , i see loads saying yeah do it and then complain about all the bugs in it . have a look at the custom rom posts and see for yourself .
I use latest CrDroid on 4/64 variant and I am 100% satisfied. It's worth to give it a go, or to try some other roms as well. You can always go back to miui if you don't like the experience afterall...

Hi Cykip,
If I was to go down custom rom route, I would defo go with what MarvavCZE said... I love CrDroid, have used it for ages on various other devices and it's perfect for me. The amount of pre built-in rom tweaks are amazing, far more than most other roms... I love it, best distro ever....
However, much like The Mero said... I am very happy with stock rom for the time being. This phone is too new (barely 2x weeks old), modern device, and compared to my other phones more expensive. So I am happy with how it works and behaves for now.
Perhaps in a year or two, I may consider it... buts stock for me for time being
Lister of Smeg
lister is right , phone is too new to have a decent custom rom . it can take months or years to fix bugs .
but if you have an old phone try installing one on that . you'll learn how to do it and if it goes badly at least you wont have wrecked your new one
Xiaomi did not yet release the kernel source code officially, I can only recommend to wait until that happens and official custom roms for this device become hyped. Until then, you cannot expect a daily driver.

Mate look, everyone know Xiaomi stock UI is worst and it's a master copy of IOS. I was facing a number of issues. Flickering, refresh rate jitters, stupid google dialer plus a lot other that I forgot lol
I went with ppui and cherish is but no gcam module was working on em. Now I'm on rice droid and it is smooth as butter
