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.
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.

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.

Hello All
I want to know what is the best custom rom currently for the k20 Pro
I saw some ROMs like PE, unofficial LOS, Havoc , etc
The problem that most of them have some issues like some have FP , others have audio & BT, others have Front CAM issues in GCAM , others have brightness calibration issues, etc
also what is FOD as i saw this word a lot and there is some bug regarding it
Hence my main question , Is there is a reliable custom rom out there and can offer smooth daily driver experience
Or shall i stick with the boring miui till later on ?
I used to have crDroid on my POCO and custom ROM was flying with the POCO
The best answer would come from someone who tried MIUI then tried mulltiple custom ROMS so he will be aware of the comparison
As far as I know, on ALL custom rom FP... just sucks compared to stock miui.

What is FP issue?
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
Can anybody share an update to this topic? Are there still a lot of issues in every custom rom? I'm considering buying a Mi 9T Pro but don't like MIUI. So I would like to know if there are some stable Android 10 roms out there for daily use.
Thank you.
PS: I think FP issue means issues with slow finger print sensor.
LOS / HavocOS
I'm happy with 11.0.3 by MIUI.eu. Has MIUI 11, bloatware removed, and is built on Google 10. Add a Pixel launcher and you can skip MIUI if you do not like MIUI interface.
I have tried few roms and now i am on MiRoom 9.10.31. As far this is the most stable rom. Here is no issues at all and also the experience is quite smooth.
FP and FOD is the same thing which means Finger print and Finger on display.
Next i will be waiting for Oxygen OS which is under development and Havoc OS with android Q. Dont want anything now with android pie.
You will receive also weekly update on MiRoom rom which is also helpful.
Thanks.
I don't think any of the 3rd party ROMs are perfect for this device yet. Hopefully xiaomi will soon release full source code and tree for this devices so developers will be able to maintain bug free roms in the future.

For this to have any meaning, you need to give your definition of how you define 'best'. Everyone has different criteria for what they want in the ROM.
They are more or less all stable, but all have very minor issues, but nothing that affects normal daily use.
My theory is look at the ROM threads. The most active will have the most users. They will have the most users because they have the least issues.
Any of the ROMs with very active threads are definitely good enough for daily use.
hi there, i got mi 9T pro with EEA, i used to have a oneplus phone, i wanted to have a stable and fun time with the phone, i flashed lot of roms but at the end of the day i flashed other rom and keep going on this cicle, currently i dont know for real what to do sense idk if i can trust custom roms for daily driver has basic stuff might become broken , i am currently using xiaomi.eu stable, but i miss the lack of smothness and customization tho, i love the device but software side not so much, what can i do? really would like a opnion, what rom should i use for flash and forget?, what if the dev abandons the rom what can i do then?

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.

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
Trueeee
