I am new to moding on mi max 2.
My question is :
What are the advantages of flashing an AOSP-based rom like the unofficial lineageos versions posted here which are in beta in contrast with something like epicrom which is miui global-dev based with added features and customizations on top (and arguably more stable) ?
(also I have to install gapps, root and pretty much everything manually. And I also won't have over the air updates like some miui based Roms offer, so I have to come here and wipe everything to flash a newer version)
Please enlighten me if you have made comparisons yourself and know the differences.

First and the very important, battery life. Lineage OS wipes out Miui when it comes to battery life.
Personal Opinion
In my experience people flash custom roms like lineage os because they either want to give a new look to there phone experience or for the latest security patches or the stock firmware for there phone doesnt include the features they want
yep, nicely summed up
looks / UI, security patches, newer android version (miui is still on 7.1.1), features, battery life, having something "custom" on your phone

I'm about to make the jump from Oreo to Pie.
I would like to know which 9.0 currently has the most custom feature included. If it's also quite stable it's a plus.
Searching around the 9.0 roms threads I narrowed down to Nitrogen and MSM Extended.
Any pros/cons for both? Or any other suggestion?
Also I would like to ask if I should stick with stock rom kernels (which i suppose is MSM one for Extended rom, dunno for nitrogen i suppose LOS) or if there is a better alternative.
Thanks
I'm currently on HavocOS (first time ever) coming from stock oxygenOS and LineageOs. So far its been really good. In the settings is a completely new Tab with 18 extra categories of customization.
Use havoc. a plethora of customizations and bonus points for being stable and smooth af
Anybody have got the perfect combo for Pie rom? Can you share it to me and another?
In my opinion you will have to try it on your own, there are several ROMs and custom kernel with their different usage,advantage/disadvantage. some ROMs are based on stock kernel or some use custom kernel such as gabriel or rockstar or might be some other ones. there is none of single Android Pie ROM for Redmi 4X is currently fully stable(but they are almost stable and almost everything is working) and they constantly getting updates in interval of week or month with new features.
maybe someone could help you out if you could be more specific about features and functions you are looking for?
i have tried havoc os and arrow os with rockstar kernel and they did worked great in terms of battery backup.(now both of them have rockstar kernel as default)
Nitrogen+ rockstar
hello, i have seen that our MIX2 is listed under supported phones
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
more infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
anyone have tried those Pie gsi's? are they working with no bugs? what's the pros and cons?
And by using those GSI do it mean that you can use newer firmwares and hardware drivers then the ones shipped in our custom roms?
thanks !
In theory will the Mix 2 be able to tun GSIs. All it needs is at least a Oreo Vendor Partition and a Recovery who supports Treble (A/AB). I will test it this Week but i would wait for official Pie from Xiaomi to have a updated Pie Vendor Part which should solve many Problems (Like possible non working Hardware (NFC, Camera, Baseband etc.))
I've been using the unofficial Pixel Experience GSI for months. It's been way less buggy than any device-specific ROM - would definitely recommend.

Have you or anyone else booted a Android 10 GSI on Chiron? I've had no luck and tried 58 different things. Guessing we need a different boot and vendor than we used on Pie maybe..? Idk I see mix 2 isn't oem supported. I'm dying to boot DerpFest. Found a Aonly 64bit GSI over on telegram about a week ago. I sure hope we will be able to use 10 GSIs. Would be great!
Hi everyone,
I have had a Google Nexus 5 and a one plus 3, so the experience with MIUI feels strange.
I have tried with china, global and Xiaomi EU ROMs.
I have seen here in xda a ROM call pixel experience
I wanted to know your opinion about the best option.
And this pixel experience ROM does anyone know how much time takes the updates from China ROM to be in this one? Will it work on android Q beta?
Thanks!!

MIUI is very divisive, I'm on the hate it side.
Pixel experience, as the name suggests, is a modified version of the Pixel phones ROM. So it will be more to what your used to. Personally I've never tried it, as it has too many Google apps baked in for my liking.
There's the Lineage ROM, which is also very close to a stock Android feel.
Finally, there's the Resurrection Remix ROM, which is based on Lineage but cherry picks from a variety of other ROMs to give much more customisation and features.
In time there will be a more ROMs arriving, quite possibly an Oxygen OS ROM.
All of these are based on AOSP, so have no reliance on the stock MIUI, other than for the vendor images. At the moment the dedicated ROMs are still in early development and have a few issues to iron out, mainly flaky FP sensor performance, but are stable enough for daily use.
There's also GSI ROMs too. Though these have a few extra issues over the dedicated ROMs. I'm using the Havoc GSI and the small number of issues with it don't really affect me (except the flaky FP sensor, which isn't too bad to live with)
All of these ROMs will want an official ROM installed first, before flashing, to ensure the correct vendor image is installed. I wouldn't recommend installing over the Q beta ROM directly.
Thank you very much!!! Your explanation is really helpful??

This guy @Robbo.5000 knows what he's talking about! Listen to him! Personally, I'm waiting for the OxygenOS rom considering that I've previously had a Oneplus. MIUI, is a hit or miss, in my opinion. That being said, I can live with it till the time a stable OxygenOS arrives. Best of luck!

Yes, Oxygen OS will be great!!
I think I am going to install pixel experience ROM and when Oxygen OS for androidQ comes out I will upgrade.
I think this will be in the 3rd quarter of this year or something like thay, am I wrong?
Thanks!
