Xiaomi.EU vs Custom Roms - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about using the latest ParanoidAndroid or HavocOS but I'm curious for everyone who has used both xiaomi.eu or stock rom and those custom roms I mentioned above. What do you guys think is the difference? Pros and cons of each roms? What do you suggest? im currently on xiaomi.eu

The desire to try is great, but both paranoid and havoc have some flaws .... The best is: Xiaomi. eu 11.0.9. stable QFACNXM

That's what I feel man. Haha. I really want to try custom roms but from experience with my oneplus 3, custom roms like havoc is faster but the photo and video quality is bad compared to stock and also the battery life is also shorter. :/

Hi. I have always preferred android stock, miui I do not like too much. I have tried many roms (pixel experience, paranoid android, extended ui, lineage, havoc ...). The devs do a great job, and the roms are very stable, very few bugs. However, unfortunately, the truth is that none is as stable as miui. They are less smooth, the camera and the sound are worse, and I have always noticed something strange in the scrolling of apps such as the browser, Telegram, etc. I suppose it has to do with the proprietary drivers of Xiaomi, but in the end in miui everything ends up working better. It is my opinion

Thank you so much. Yeah, it's really the performance from the custom roms that makes you want to install them but the stability, it really is more stable with miui. I guess I'll just stick with the stock rom for now. Thanks again.

Honestly, the performance and battery life on the eu rom is also better than the AOSP roms, because it includes so much of the proprietary customization and the proprietary drivers.

xiaomi.eu should be default ROM for all xiaomi phones

[Q] Which ROM do you use?

Hey everyone,
There has been a lot of development going on recently for our device. So tell us what ROM and kernel do you use and why you like it.
It will help other people to know the features and USPs of other ROMs.
I am currently using Ivan's AOSP with Stock Kernel.
BTW Thanks @Cancro90 for your index.
I have now swtiched to Paranoid Android. Unfortunately, I cannot edit my poll vote...
Coming from Ivan's AOSP, it sure seems equally fluid, the battery life and performance is really good with Phantom Kernel.
I have used PAC ROM too, and it is a great ROM for those looking for a plethora of features.
MIUI v6? Nope, not my cup of android candy! Though a few people still use it.
I prefer my candy vanilla-like .
I've tried the AOSP and Cm ROMs, but I keep coming back to MIUI. I like the look and feel of MIUI, but the biggest thing is the camera. I can't stand the bad camera quality when compared to MIUI. I will miss the audio quality of AOSP/Cm ROMs as they sound so better. So it's almost a toss up between the two. If/when Xiaomi fixes the audio quality (hopefully with lollipop) I will be truly happy.
Also, for me, I got a Xiaomi phone to experience MIUI at its best, just like I would get a Nexus device to have the best stock Android experience. Sometimes I'll feel like going to AOSP, but I really like how MIUI feels on a Xiaomi phone.

I will also move to MIUI temporarily... My Google Cardboard is coming soon and I need the magnetometer to work for a few functions... Are there any stable custom ROMs with compass fixed?
EDIT: Just found out that compass works in Bitti09 CM

You can use IVAN Rom. Everything perfect except HDR picture. But customization is very less, however you can use xposed.

currently I'm using Ivans AOSP 5.1.1 on stock kernel after using the MIUI6 developer rom for quite some time.
MIUI6 PRO:
- gorgeous design,
- the best camera app for MI3
- plenty of features.
- stable
MIUI 6 CON:
- comparably slow and battery draining
- full of bloat-ware
I'm still testing the AOSP,
so far it seems stable (some random call drops) , is fast and responsive, consumes less battery and of course no bloat-ware
It seems most of the users use Ivan's AOSP...

Ahah yes MIUI Pro rom has the better camera with unleashed function (I posted it monthes ago on miui forum and a way to use it on chinese MIUI rom or other international MIUI. For camera with custom rom I'm using OppoCamera (yes HDR still broken) that allows me long exposure, zero shutter lag, manual iso and so on. Sadly HDR still broken and it's so useful function, Manual focus is broken too.
Actually I'm using Paranoid rom with stuxnet+ kernel, which is a great combo.

Few questions concerning Resurrection Remix

Hi everybody,
as I'm new to all these flashing custom ROMs stuff, I would like to get answers to some questions concerning Resurrection Remix and the OnePlus 3T.
First of all, how stable is this ROM on said Smartphone? Comparable to Oxygen OS? Maybe even better?
Is the camera-quality as good as stock Oxygen OS?
Are OTA Updates provided or do I have to manually update new updates of Resurrection Remix?
Do I have to pay attention to something when flashing it on my vanilla OnePlus 3T (no root, just out-of-the-box)?
Thanks in advance!
The RR rom on the OP3T is awesome. Very stable, more than stock I'd say. Definitely feels smoother and faster. I made the OP3T into a near identical pixel experience (I had one). Battery life anecdotally seems to last longer. Like I said, it's awesome.
Camera is simply not as good and if you prioritize the camera this ROM is probably not for you. Photos are clear when gotten just right and the image quality is there after a separate file you need to flash, plus you can get the stock OP3T camera minus a few features (HDRa) and HD video recording at 60FPS I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But focus and shutter speed suffer, a lot.
I ran into a few apps that would not work properly, like Duo and a few others plus other XDA members mentioning apps don't work. This for me was a deal breaker. Had it not been for Duo, I'd still be on it. My family uses this extensively.
But.... This has to be expected. It's development after all. The customization options are amazing. I really like RR rom on this op3t. I'd say try it out.
RR is my favorite ROM on OP3T - it has tons of features and always works reliable. I update about every two weeks.

I tried today ZeNiTy-Resurrection-Remix-N-[EAS]-[OMS]-[Optimized]-[3/3T] by ZeNiXxX, i think it's better for camera (OOs camera)
Reliable? Yes. As reliable as stock.
Camera? Eh, no. You lose slow motion video, HQ and you kinda lose HDR.
Ota? No. You have to flash. But you don't have to lose your data, you can dirty flash updates.
There are tutorials on how to flash stuff and what to look out for.
With the exception of the camera, the RR Rom is awesome and has tons of customization options. My favorite is the ability to even customize the carrier logo and battery status indicator. Super stable and buttery smooth.
Thanks a lot for your advices! Think I will stay with OxygenOS as camera-quality is pretty important for me.
Camera quality is important to me as well, so I tried out Oxygen-based FreedomOS. It's a great compromise between stock OxygenOS while still having some custom features. You don't get all the customization that you get with Lineage or RR, but you do get a few nice things, plus you can get uninstall OxygenOS default apps if you plan on replacing them with Google Apps. So far it's been my go-to.
I would personally say CM 13 is better than RR, CM 13 is MM based rom and all the apps including xposed are supported and theme engine is also available. unlike RR, camera is also good in CM13, battery life is also excellent about 7 to 9 hours of Screen on Time can be expected. I used RR for couple of weeks, there are of course bugs which will irritate us, you can opt CM13 in my opinion. If you want Anddoid N for the sake of having latest version, you can opt RR.

What rom(Pie) do you guys use as a daily driver?

Hey guys, can you recommend me a custom pie rom for Oneplus 3T? I have been reading about Pixel Experience Rom & LineageOS. I'm unsure about which one to go. I mostly use my phone for messaging, calls and reddit/instagram/quora and stuff. I don't use my phone for gaming. So, what rom would you guys suggest for a daily driver.
Thanks!
For a long time Msm Extended. Stable and full of customization.
I'm on SkyDragon and quite happy with it. Very fast due to chip specific optimizations, has enough customization options, no apparent bugs at this point.
Tbh any ROM will do if you're not a demanding user so just try something

Well honestly I like simpler interface that's why I mentioned Pixel Experience and LineageOS. Who among them would be a better choice?

Well, apart from ROM specific customizations menues (which you can simply ignore if you don't wanna tinker with it) they all use stock AOSP interface, so they're all pretty much the same in that aspect.
I haven't personally tried (yet) those two that you mentioned, simply because SkyDragon was first Pie ROM that I tried after a bit of research and then I didn't feel the need to change it. I would assume however that LOS can't be a bad choice; I've used it before (older Android versions) on multiple devices and was always satisfied with it. It is still in beta though so some minor bugs are to be expected.
HAVOC, SKYDRAGON, MSM(next release)
I would highly encourage you to use NLOS 16. It's a stock LOS 16 build with developer's cherry picks to add more stability. There no extra gimmicks or customization than what you will find in a LOS build. Instead, it's more stable and bit better on optimizations that stock LOS build. I would highly recommend you to try it if you want to chose from LOS and Pixel Experience.

Is it stable? - Yes, during my 1 week usage with it, it was a stable ROM.
Battery Life - Your usage is different than mine. No one can answer this question for you. You need to flash and try and then see for yourself if the battery life is good for your usage. Someone who watches a lot of netflix or youtube can have 6 hours SOT and will call the battery life great. On the other hand, with 4G 100% time connected, and lot of location access, phone calls, high brightness usage, i am lucky if I have 4 hours SOT at the end of day. So, rather than asking battery life questions, just try the ROM and see for yourself. It has all basic functions working so you won't lose on anything. It's the beauty of custom ROMs. If you don't like one, switch to other one of use stock till you find the one ROM that works for you.
AOSiP
I have tried every pie rom , nothing can match AOSiP in smoothness and stability
Havoc Os, the best pie rom ever...
Using closed beta. Bugs are present
I use LineageOS 16, and it's the best of ROMs for me.
I like AOSP style OS, and I have ~5 hours of active screen.
DU -> Havoc -> Closed Beta ... I can not decide and jump between this 3 roms...
Currently NitrogenOS...no bugs, very smooth, great battery life

Is it worth flashing a custom rom for performance/battery life gains?

Hi,
I have a 2.5 year old mi a2 and plan to keep it for 6-12 months more. I never installed am custom rom(android one feels pretty decent), But with the battery life and performance deteriorating I am wondering if it is worth it to install a custom rom to improve these areas.
Are android 10 roms as stable and compatible as stock android? If so which ones?
I really appreciate your help!
bump?

Of course they are better than stock. These days you can find custom roms like Awaken that are even encrypted and on the latest Android 11.
Used and tried Awaken, Fluid, Shapeshift, Derp Fest, all good. Depends only which one you like more.

I tried few, imo, every rom have same result, i will get same performance on this phone, battery same too.
All rom after installed i will root and debloat all trash app, turn kill background app and data.
PE give simple, smooth but poor fearture, lower face unlock speed, can not unlock while wear facemask.
MIUI is smooth enough and funtional, give every thing fearture i need, but i met cellular stanby drain and somethime miss notif.
So best rom base on your choice.
