Suggestions for a stable daily driver. Any help is much appreciated.

I'll try to keep it as brief as possible.
I am well versed with rom flashing and also with the xiaomi ecosystem. I own a Redmi Note 3 pro myself and I know the bootloader unlock process and other stuff.
But I have no idea about the rom scene on Mi 5. I have been only active on the Redmi Note 3 forum because that's the device I own.
The Mi 5 for which I'm courting suggestions belongs to my sister. She's tired of slow miui and it's messed up notification delivery. So she asked me to fix it.
I'm planning to flash a custom rom. I unlocked the bootloader but I have no idea about which rom to flash. I will be here only 2 more days then I'm off to college in another city, so I can't really test different roms. I just need a stable rom that I can flash and forget and that she can use without any hiccups.
Oreo roms are not that stable on most devices right now and she really doesn't care for the latest Android version. Please suggest a stable nougat rom.
Thank You.

Edit: firmware 7.9.22 because 8.1.4 has problems with playing media over headset with this rom.

Kernel by DennySPb from this build https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291693325
I go with this kernel because the stock kernel from AospExtended has OC.

Over clocking. I have the 32 GB model which CPU is down clocked by default to 1.8 ghz. The stock kernel in the original Aospextended is over clocked to 2.15 ghz. The SoC is capable of running this frequency btw, I just prefer the default frequency yo keep the phone from getting hot and extending battery life.

i'd say go with the cosmic os builds.excellent battery life and unlike aospextended i haven't faced any crashes.Probably set her up with the google camera hdr+ too.

custom kernel

How can i flash custom kernel in my custom roms because when i flash custom kernel like clarity kernel or other my redmi 4x santoni get brick .....it restart several times and get stuck on mi logo ......then i have to flash stock miui rom with fastboot tool from my laptop ......
Please any one help me ..i have heard that clarity kernel is best kernel for battery backup

use the arrow rom is best rom and kernel
best battery backup too

Be careful to post you message in the good place (in Questions & answers section)
Gabriel + arrow (pie) or aicp (oreo) is a great combo. For the moment I'm on lineageos 15.1 official nightlies without any custom kernel and I get easily 7h to 9h sot with heavy mobile data enabled-disabled all the day + wifi and some games

people asks for best rom (custom) with better battery backup , not for gaming but for daily usage

Colt Os for redmi 4x
best custom rom with stability and this is stable and offcial PIE rom. i used all of the roms but i like this room alot because in continously its used 10% or less percentage per hour battery consuming in normal used. otherwise 20% per hour in heavy use.

I'm on Havoc OS with Wolf Kernel and SOT is pretty good.
As long as you choose a a ROM with lineage i think your battery life would be fine.

To confuse you complete:
I´m using Nitrogen OS with Wolf kernel

Well, SOT depends on you. I think it´s not an indicator between users.
But I´m happy with combination of NOS and Wolf kernel . I don´t play at my mobile phone, most things I use are Volte and Wifi...

Can you please give me link of wolf kernal and which version are you using? Please give all the link that you using.
And please send me battery status and usage Screenshots

Sorry, I´m out of home until the day after tomorrow and can give just a quick reply.
Pls feel free to take a lock into the thread for roms and kernels to find recent versions of Nitrogen OS for pie and Wolf kernel (65hz for gaming) as well.

PE caf or just PE?
And what kernel used? Stock or??
I was flash PE on 3 week a go and i feel battery backup is normal but no good (my expectation) and just change to syberia
On syberia first its more battery backup but was updated back to normal again. So i post this thread
All i used stock kernel
And now what youre suggest about kernel with 2 rom above??

I try flash Havoc OS latest build just now
And used stock kernel
My batt backup is normal (not bad)
I find what kernel for batt backup is so good??

Question Best Combo Custom Rom and Kernel?

As title says im searching for a combo of ROM and kernel that saves battery and gives smoothness to ui. Im on Arrow os 12 and as for now i tried Vantom Kernel releases 198 which gave problems with bluetooth and gcam, 196 battery drain and 192, the most stable one, but has some problems when booting the device, causing it to freeze on bootanimation.
Anyone knows a better kernel for ArrowOs or can suggest a nice combo Rom/kernel?
