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.

Treble Note 9

Just a quick question. I can't seem to get GSI's to boot on my note 9. Had no problems running any pie based GSI on my s9 plus. Is there a specific vendor I need to use on the note 9 for treble?
Any help would be appreciated

I run them fine
Get arm 64 version? Aonly

Yeah that's what I've got same as on the s9. Trying to run pixel experience p but I get stuck at Sammy bootloop. Wasn't sure if it could be a vendor issue but as far as I remember vendor didn't matter on the s9.

Does anyone know which treble roms are stable?

did you find anything that works?
I tried Lineage, RRemix and OmniRom. all were working fine but all had the same brightness bug, stock camera also flickers & green screens when taking video, I dont remember on which rom.
I also tried pixel experience, the brightness was stuck on high, better than nothing, so if you want to use it you can give it a shot.
From @Dil3mm4 on his GSI rom built
The problems you will face with Descendant are the same that you may face on any other ROM based over Phh work.
So, don't blame me, blame your OEM about their poor Treble implementation

From @phhusson comment on note 9 brightness bug issue
Thanks for the report. Nice to have AOSP directly working on that
Brightness should be fixed in next release. I might forget to integrate it, please complain if i do.

if you are not a noob like me, you might find the files to flash on his github, since it looks like fixed, just waiting on his next rom release for these roms..
Reporting Bugs to @phhusson will help, probably least we can do, he mentioned creating Issue here
I will also do myself after testing more.
thing is the more people use it and report bugs, I believe it'll be a smoother experience for people who flash GSI roms later on the note9, and a great thanks to @phhusson, redoing samsungs lousy work. he deserves a huge thanks from the community.

Actually today I tried one more ROM, it from the same dev phhusson, here is the link
not only it is Android 9, it is stable enough to be used as a daily driver, I moved to it, Didnt want to post until I was sure.
So everything works, wifi, BT, hotspot, Sim, SD, Brightness Control, Mic, The Spen works as a mouse, HDMI, Fingerprints ..etc
what I found is buggy:
- the camera app(green flicker): you can use a third party camera app
- when you open the camera in Messaging to attach something.
One drawback to consider is Android P doesnt support Xposed yet. back to waiting for xposed support! =(
in fact I might keep using this, until Lineage OS 15.1 GSI gets fixed.

I have not. I've tried all the roms you've tried with the same results. I don't really have much time to tinker with roms now a days due to work but maybe some time next week I'll start a bounty to spark things up. The hardware on the Note 9 is just begging to be tampered with lol and it being the first Note with Treble Support really is "The Next Big Thing" :victory:

Since I am running Havoc on my mobile I flashed it right away on my mi pad the moment I got it. Now the rom is running for three days without any bugs and very smooth so far. Thanks :good:

Rom is still running smooth. Got an update notification today. Any changelog available?
Thanks for supporting this device.
I just a bit surprised that so little is going on here within the mi pad forum. ?

Hi, I'm really interested in purchasing this tablet (I am a big fan of redmi phones). I was a bit reluctant with the lack of a true global ROM being available and there was nothing on xda last time I checked. But it appears someone has been quite busy developing for this. Have you only tried the havoc ROM? Is everything still running OK for you? If so, I'm thinking I will make the purchase. Any other feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

In the beginning I had the global Rom running which also was smooth, but since I am using Havoc on all my other devices I switched also on my Mi Pad. The rom runs stable. Had no problems, random reboots or other stuff like that. Rom runs fast and I hope the community for the device will grow, because the device has an awesome price performance ratio! :laugh::good:

Thanks for the quick response. I think I will be purchasing soon, just waiting for a deal on the 128gb version. I can get the 64gb for a decent price atm, so very tempted to grab that instead.
I recently got the redmi note 6 Pro, I have only unlocked bootloader not long ago. Couldn't decide on which ROM to try first, but I have had a couple people recommend the havoc ROM, so I think I will go with that. Then I can have the same on the tablet when I get it.
I really hope to see a bigger community for this tablet too. Thanks again.

Is there anything special to consider for updating?
Is dirty flashing the rom possible?

Yes you can do (dirty flashing) with no problems.

Hi, as this is my first time flashing anything, I want to be sure I am doing everything right. I have Mi Pad 4 Plus, already unlocked. To use adb and fastboot I need dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip right? Then to flash recovery, I rename the file from your link and do: fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img -> fastboot.exe boot recovery.img. Should I also flash new firmware osdn.net/projects/xiaomifirmwareupdater/storage/Stable/V10/clover/? Should I do it like normal ROM flashing using recovery? I was thinking of using Mokee or HavocOS, in case I would prefer to stay with Mokee, your instructions are good, I just do not flash Havoc over Mokee? I am still not decided which one I should install. Also in future if a new version of ROM comes out ,as my partition would be already changed, I would not need to repeat these steps? Also do ''forceencrypt on /data'' means that I should 'encrypt device using screen lock password' in Android OS? I am not quire sure I understand this step. Also where do I exactly 'Settings General= Use rm -rf instead of formatting'? Browsing though old root/flash tutorials I noticed some of them mention tools like: no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip/Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt Disabler/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. Are they still needed in any case? I want to flash open gapps and magisk root. Sorry if it seems stupid, I just could not find anything step by step that is actual, some older guides recommend supersu and as I understand it is a thing of a past now.

Revolution OS vs Xiaomi.eu - which one would you recommend?

I've heard good/bad things about both of them. I've used xiaomi.eu on my former RN5pro and was very happy however if the experience is better with revolution OS I would give it a try (regarding battery/performance/bugs etc.)
Thanks guys! Have a great day :highfive:

I am also interested in this topic. I used Xiaomi.eu on my MI MIX3 and now I have to switch to MI9 and I am not sure, whether to use Xiaomi.eu or Revolution OS.

I did not test Xiaomi.EU, but from what I read RevOS is the same with more debloat and better battery life. The negative aspect is you get less frequent updates than with Xiaomi.EU, so it could be that with Xiaomi.EU you get new features and bug fixes more quickly, but then again there are only very few little bugs on RevOS so I think it's not much of a problem tbh.
I'm currently on RevolutionOS with Magisk and PocoLauncher and I'm really happy with it, but of course when the first stable AOSP based Roms with working camera will come out, I'll switch to that very quick haha

The negative aspect is you get less frequent updates than with Xiaomi.EU, so it could be that with Xiaomi.EU you get new features and bug fixes more quickly, but then again there are only very few little bugs on RevOS so I think it's not much of a problem tbh.
I'm currently on RevolutionOS with Magisk and PocoLauncher and I'm really happy with it, but of course when the first stable AOSP based Roms with working camera will come out, I'll switch to that very quick haha

Great! Honestly I've never updated my phone anyway (since I've debloatet/modded it completely and didn't want to do the hustle again). If it offers the same/more features like xiaomi.eu + no frequent updates (since never thouch a running system) I think I'm giving it a go (after the 15 days wait period
Thanks again for your great reply! :victory::good:

In my opinion RevolutionOS battery life is better than EU . Idle time last night using RevolutionOS was about 3% in 8 hours while with EU rom was 10-13%.

RevOs for sure. I have tried Flokorom (GSI), Xiaomi.eu, and RevOs and I keep coming back to Rev. I get the best battery life by far with it, especially stand by time.

Did you, or anyone try the XASP Patch on top of RevOS ? it seems really interesting and i'm curious of the results it's giving

Actually, yes. I forgot to mention these results are with the XASP Patch. I am not sure how much that patch contributes to battery, but the combination of RevOs and the XASP are the best things to flash on the Mi 9 right now. I used GSI roms and will I like the minimal OS it just felt a big buggy and not able to fully utilize the hardware yet. Don't use any extra mods/apps like L speed mod or Greenify, I havent found them to be useful (on MIUI at least) and can got better battery without.

Yeah apparently battery and overall performance is much better with it. Did you encounter any bugs ?

I just installed the patch on top of cleanly installed RevOS. Shouldn't Magisk be there by default with XASP ? was it when you installed it ? Because now i'm not sure if it's correctly installed or not. Thanks :good:

Yes it should be there. I would recommend wiping data, factory reset, then install RevOs immediately followed by XASP patch.

That's what I did, but I think i'll try again. You can confirm it's the aromaless-universal version that we need to flash for our device, right ? In other words : this one (sorry, just want to be sure I'm using the right file, and maybe it can help others who'll see this in the future)

I use xiaomi.eu because it updates more often(weekly). I always remove any additional app I don't use from system when those are not impact to my daily use.
Haven't tried ros of mi9, but was using ros in the past. Don't feel that different to eu

Battery life on ROS wasn't much better on other Xiaomi phones in my experience. But on my Mi 9 I had far better standby time on ROS compared to Xiaomi.eu and Global EEA.

Now on another thread I just saw this rom called "mi-globe" : https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder/
You can basically pre-customize things like if magisk is preinstalled etc before downloading the rom. How is that one compared to RevOS and Xiaomi.eu ?
But from what I saw it's not much different, and I still think battery life will be better on RevOS.

One more question (since so many of them exist already): which type of TWRP did you use for flashing Revolution OS? Thanks!

I think the fiirst time I flashed it, it was with an old version of randomblame's one. But now I saw in the thread that there are problems flashing with the new one.
On the chinese TWRP it doesn't work for me.
Second time I flashed it with an older version of mauronofrio's TWRP (3.3.1-4 because there was a bug with the new version too), but now the bug is fixed on his version and siankatabg's version.
So I recommend you to use the latest versions of either mauronofrio or siankatabg's twrp, since they both support decryption now too. :good:

On the latest update of revolution os, I noticed my battery and network speed icon is white and can't be seen properly as compared to time and network bar which is showing with black color. How do I solve this?

Dead topic?
Any noticed issue with fingerprint unlock?

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. With pleasure, ViVa.

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.
