In your opinion what is the fastest and most stable rom for the mi 5 not including miui. I'm on cm13 which seems good but no tap fingerprint to go home is annoying. Cm14.1 was so slow compared to miui and cm1 3.
Try Resurrection Remix 5.8.1.Got a lot more features than Lineage,and stable enough for daily use.

Other roms are based on los /cm. Also los has the biggest user base atm , thus more people reporting problems and rom becoming more stable. If you're not looking for a specific rom I'd stick with los. Using it as my daily driver I have no problems whatsoever.

Are you talking about the lag when recording video's? If so, AFAIK that issue still persists.
RR vs. LOS ?

Depends, RR has more customizations, but I like to play with my own rom, so LOS for me!

U can try Ressurection Remix 5.8.1 its worth a try
I think Lineage OS will be great in couple of weeks ahead. Still waiting for great implementation of Android N.
MIUI is not stable enough for me. Still on development.
Maybe next month both ROM will be more stable on N.

How about major features like camera, ois, gps, battery usage ?
I want to try it, but for now I still wait and see for both MIUI and LOS.
Is notification shade on LOS is fully implemented from Nougat ?
I see notification on Nougat is very cool

Everything in lineage is stable, and the notification shade that you are talking about is perfectly working, you can directly reply to anyone without opening the app.
For camera, the quality of stock cam is poor when compared to other cams like snap, etc.
The famous in-call volume issue is resolved in next weekly build. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the misbehaving quick charge support.
Qc works but only when your screen is off. Devs are working on it and it will be fixed soon.
Battery backup on nougat is also fine, but its not better than MM (i think). That's why I m still on MM and getting around 9h of on screen time, and meanwhile also enjoying xposed :fingers-crossed:

That's what I waiting for, notification access.
I'll be waiting for that quick charge. It's a major feature that must be working.
What ? 9h ?
What rom u use ?
I only got around 4h SOT on MIUI MM Stable.
Hello folks. I've been using Moto X Style for about a 1,5 year and I'm tired. Development is slowing down, the phone is really big (my previous one was LG L90). For some time I was looking for a nice, compact smartphone with good battery and decent price. Redmi 4X seems to fit my needs, but is it worth buying now? As far as I know the longer battery is kept unused, the worst condition it has - is 4X still being produced? How about development - how many LOS version may this phone get yet? How is battery life?
Or are there newer models which could fill my needs? 150mm height is too much for me; I like compact smartphones - otherwise I would get Lenovo P2 - that is a beast. Actually I tought that Sony Xperia XA2 would be nice, but that price...
What do you guys think?
Buy redmi 5

As I mentioned, 150mm height is too much. I wish I had more compact smartphone.
Redmi 4x's android version range is 6-8 and thanks to treble we booted android p dev previews. About battery life my SoT records are: RR Luis build nougat 8hr 35min RR Luis build oreo 8h 12min android p dev preview 7h 3min
Project Treble seems promising. I wonder how long Android will keep compatibility with it. How about your opinions, then? Do you like this smartphone? Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again?

My previous phone was zenfone 6 (6 inch display x86 cpu) I was in your situation. It isnt even fit on pocket, lack of development, etc. Redmi 4x seems fine after 6 inch junk. 5 inch display, more custom rom support, Camera is amazing with gcam (miui default cam is fine too), 8 core cpu. Gaming performance is great and also it is cheap. Im definitely happy with redmi 4x

If u want to compact phone, santoni is best choice
Redmi 4X has several ROM's even project treble supported ROM's too.
Custom kernels available too.Development is quite good.
I think xiaomi less likely to make 5inch device in future too because as they are releasing newer devices in the range of 5.5 to 5.9 inches. For e.g. Redmi 6 has 5.5 inch display Maybe they produce 5 inch display phone with tight budget in future e.g. Redmi 4A.
I would say at least go for SD 625 device if there is any 5 inch device.
You've mentioned you might go for Lenovo P2 which has 5.5 inch display considering this Redmi 5 would be fine since it has 5.7 inch display and SD 450 and it's better than SD 435 and has same GPU as SD 625.
If there's any xiaomi store out there near by you live then try out newer xiaomi device yourself to get better decision on which device to get.
SD 435 is based on 28nm technology and now almost all new SD chipsets are based on 14nm or lower so it's better to get this devices.
With using only mobile data on Redmi 4X I do need to charge device in evening or night.
With mix usage it lasts 1½ days which translates roughly around 8 hours of sot. On MIUI 8 I used to get around 10hours of sot.
If you buy Redmi 4X now there's very chance that your phone will have white color notification LED.
Do let us know which one you buy
In the end I bought Redmi 4X since it was quite cheap. It fits nice in my hand. I'm not using it as daily yet, but "play" with it now.
Can you suggest me some nice custom roms (with as little bugs as possible)? Or maybe miui is the way to go (global or xiaomi.eu?). I just wish I could deactivate fingerprint scanner (I don't use it, but touching it with finger accidentaly wakes phone) and remove/disable some google apps. I heard root on miui is available on xiaomi.eu version.
First(I am sure you know it) get device's bootloader unlocked, it a quiet hectic process and will take few days.
The custom ROM's I'll recommend you are list below.
I have personally tried all of them and they are pretty good almost bugless, with good battery backup.
I haven't tried any custom kernel so can't say anything about them. If you wish you can try.
All of them are Oreo based.
1. Resurrection Remix OS.
2. DOT OS.
3. Nitrogen OS.
4. Havoc OS.
I recommend the new Xaiomi Mi A2 lite. It´s very handy too.

Any drawabacks on RR? I heard battery does not last as long on custom as on miui. How about camera and flashlight gestures? Can I set double click on power/volume button to trigger them? Or long click?
sorry doublepost
Of course no. Sd 435 is too old for q3 2k18. I think the minimum soc right now is sd636 (redmi note 5, and other phone with that soc). Iam currently using redmi 4x, but I'll trade this phone to a newer xiaomi (I dont have a lot of money, so i'll choose xiaomi)

I didn't faced any bugs since my usage was using social media apps,some photo editing apps, calls, camera (gcam) and playing PUBG mobile and clash royale.
I noticed the battery drain faster while playing pubgm in rr than miui so yes it does eat more battery when comparing it to miui. Using custom kernel you may get good battery life.
When using it on 4G LTE the battery was draining fast too and experienced device to go warm.
Yes, you can set camera button as far as I remember.
The last time i used rr was in last two weeks of April and early few days of May.
Last build was released in April and later there's no update made available yet.
I think we'll be looking at directly Android P based rr in next update.
To get latest security patch and Android P experience I moved to DOT OS and it's a good build and it also has all the customization that are available in rr and so does the havoc OS.
In my opinion all custom ROM's doesn't have battery backup like MIUI but it's not bad it's decent.
Flashlight gesture I don't know I didn't tried that but it should be available there.
Currently I am using MIUI 10 Global beta and battery backup is good I get SOT around 8 hours with mix usage but again when using 4G LTE it drops down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT.
Battery saver helps a little bit so it's turned on all the time.

I am currently using AOSP EXTENDED. It is smooth and bugless. It's Oreo based.
Use havoc os with phantom kernel (thunder plug hotplug) (alucard governor) you'll be amazed. HAVOC OS > Dot OS in both battery life and performance and fluidity.
10+ SOT

10+ hours of SOT is just fantastic.
I(or rather we) used to had such SOT on MIUI 8.
I'll try this combinations soon in few days, currently on MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.2.
Does firmware version matter?
In 2020 What Android version/ROM is the best for daily driver?
I see there is LineageOS version 16 based on Android 9(pie)
Would phone run well under it? Or should I settle on 15(A8 Oreo)?
This is my daily driver. so stability and speed are priorities.
Thanks!
Right now I'm using LOS 16. Of all the roms i've ever tried, this one has the best battery life and good performance. Use tunned kernel if you want better results.
That last Oreo Mokee build works fine too, if you want battery and performance. Android Q roms have good performance, but I notice some faster battery drain. Until it's fixed, I recommend you to go for Oreo or Pie
Thank you
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have learned ATT phone can not be upgraded
Personally, Lineage OS 16 had horrible standby battery life for me, HavocOS was better in that aspect. However, Lineage is faster, and I still use it because of the security updates.
I love my S5 Lte-a Korean version with 3GB ram and 2K display works so smooth there are bugs but can still be my daily driver. I use extended battery of ZeroLemon 8500 mAh and it lasts for 3 days. Its 6 years old but still superb.

No, I am on Lineage OS 16 Official that is currently supported.
My phone is super stable on Android 9 and has been on it for almost 7 months now.
Any particular reason that I should go for Android 10 ?
Using stock Android 10 with no complaints since 2 months. No noticeable glitches, never crashed, no slowdowns actually better battery life than A9 for me.
Tencect, 12gb/512gb, unlocked, no root, stock, A10
how about the reason it's newer and better. which is what typically comes with software updates.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Im still on Android 9 aswell, Ive heard Gaming is better on 9 over 10 and that and A10 is still in Beta right now right?
Works wonderful for me on android 10
Pretty much on A10 since it comes. No issues, runs smoothly. Added just Kirisakura Kernel.

wrong A11 is almost ready and A10 is already stable if officially released by the manufacturer for a device (like your rog-phone2)
A10 is better than A9 for me. More stable UI and gaming performance.
Never upgrading to A10 or even A11 in future!
I have witnessed absolute nightmare performance when I was on A10. The latest A9 ( build which is from December) is imo the best build ever.
- Amazing gaming performance
- Nice Battery life
- Never crashes/lags
A9 is way better overall. Better battery, smoother UI, no random slowdowns, no random freezes with Google chorme. Just try it, your experience may differ than mine.
Hi, bought it cheap for 500 eur.
Is it smart to update it to latest OS?
Are all bugs resolved with last update and are there any Camera improvements?
Do you care about games performance? I have much better performance with OOS12
If not, its worth updating. Camera its better in OOS13. Battery life almost the same.

OOS 12 is the last OOS which feels a little bit of true OOS experience ...
OOS 13 is the f*cking ColorOS
Oppo just renamed it to OxygenOS!!
Does oos 13 support beidou gps?

It's half ColorOS. At least it doesn't come with PhoneManager and allows background apps so you can get timely notifications.
