Hi redmi 4x users, if I install any custom rom running on Android pie it's getting serious overheating and battery drain, also during browsing internet or messaging. I want to ask everyone who use custom ROMs on redmi 4x, if you face these issue too or it's hardware problem on my device only. Overheating isn't so strong on lineage os but it's still there, so only thing I can do, is having MIUI rom. The most strange is, it's happen only on any non-MIUI rom, on modified MIUI rom(from rom builder) isn't this issue, so I'm really confused where is whole problem, maybe in fact, that stock Android hasn't MIUI aggressive optimization, but I don't much like it, only good thing I like on MIUI is temperature of whole device and battery life ?.
Sorry for bad english and thanks for any reply.
I've used Pixel Experience ROM with Android 9 (Pie) based since June last year until now and everything works normally. The temperature is between 28° C (idle) and 40° C (gaming) and I think it's still acceptable.
No, i don't have this issue. Currently i am using havoc os 2.9 based on pie and i am using Pie builds since when it was made available. i get screen on time of 8+ hours. there is no heating issue while charging nor doing other tasks/multitasks. however when i use Gcam for longer time it tends to go little warm and that is totally fine because it is high CPU demanding.
Maybe you should try clean flash with latests gapps(if you use Gapps) sometime Gapps also causes heating issue.
I've used my phone on pie and 10 for a long time, but went back to stock MIUI in the end (7.1.2 ugh) because the battery drain was ridiculous, especially when on mobile data. got sick of having to go everywhere with a wall charger+cable or 10,000 mAh powerbank+cable, or both+cable. now it's much better, but I feel the battery aging, the phone has been in use non-stop since december 2017.

I use Havoc OS with latest android version (Q) since February and there is no bugs or battery draining problem.
Maybe its your device problem.
Hey guys, based on your liking
Which ROMs do you think are the best for battery, performance and UI in Oreo, pie and 10, as well as a kernel that would suit for that
I want to stick with a ROM as a daily driver, I'd mostly need battery but I don't want to compromise too much on UI for that.
I'd really love if it's unofficial since I don't want to keep updating all the time.
I'd really appreciate your answer :good:
You can choose from havoc 3.x, Pixel Expirience, and Resurrection Remix.
In my opinion there is nothing like best because almost all ROMs give good battery backup, mostly like 8 Hours+ SOT on mix usage. battery backup would reduce if used always on mobile data and so does the SOT.
I would recommend you havoc 2.x and 3.x others are also good and provide almost good customizations but since you don't want to compromise too much on UI for that then this is good options you may wanna try.
And for Oreo based ROM as far as i remember dotOS was giving great battery backup and SOT, almost like 9 hours or sometimes 9 hours+ of battery backup.
Havoc os
I've tried most roms now lineage, havoc, colt, revenge, descendant, bliss, dot, rr, pe. I haven't tried miui caf and globe editions. Because they have Gapps within them. And tbh, I didn't like any of them. Except lineage. Every rom was awesome in their features etc. But I saw if there's features the battery is to be compromised. If features and battery both are to be there, the rom asks some password I didn't set. And some roms didn't even let me boot itself, not just that the roms also somehow broke the recovery, after it said "my password was wrong and I had to erase data", like booting to recovery went blank screen. I am sorry if I was offending anyone.
Lineage on the other hand, was the best. The rom made the phone go supercool I mean the temperature of the phone was very low even while having a video call. Although given that there are like 0 'extra awesome' features, the battery life was almost up to 20-23 hours. So I'll consider this rom to be the best.

20 - 23 hours! You've got to be kidding. My mom uses just YouTube vanced on wifi, she's on pixel experience Android 10 and she only gets 4 hours of sot.

Sot in los android 9 is around 10 hours.
I know almost all android 10 roms won't give anymore sot than 5 - 6 hours which is why I said los was best

Sir Can you suggest me the best rom for sot, I don't care about the android version, and I don't care about gaaps, because my mom only needs YouTube and whatsapp. And please tell what battery mod and tweaks should I do?
Some suggestion would really be appreciated sir.

You can't get an official los in Oreo so .. you can try pie .. no tweaks necessary. Just have Pico version of gapps, because, WhatsApp and YouTube needs play services. And if you want root for vanced YouTube use that it won't affect battery life. Just try to keep your storage space as minimum as possible like checking on the option to not download WhatsApp pics and v videos until you press download for all chats. Rest leave it as it is. Also is better do good charging practices that way your battery life and efficiency is good

Is better than official? I want to use my Santoni as a dedicated navigation device, so I'm looking for a rom with the best battery life and Google Asistant.

When you say "battery life", it is taken into account how long the phone stays on the screen on, not the screen off (in standby).
Hello guys
anybody can help me please , I am using Cr-droid 8.10 since week ago it's really excellent ROM but I am facing heavy battery drain during the night on average 20% is lost every night the phone is not going into deep sleep although it tried to disable all apps that might wake up also I used nap time still I don't know what's the problem or how I can fix it any suggestion because I am thinking to revert back to miui
attached my battery usage and naptime log
i know... but crdroid is not good... i tried all roms for sweet.. very similar but more stable is project elixir 12.. very better (first days i had 1 reboot, after few days never happen)

Have you already tried this?
With mine RN10Pro this did help a lot (from < 5h to >9h SOT )
I run this workaround now for 2 months
Install Better Battery Stats from XDA, take proper logs as explained in the thread and post it there for analysis. Wakelocks might be an issue.
I went back to MIUI guys I think no way around it all custom roms for this phone either fast but with some annoying bugs or drain battery

Idle drain in (stock, not rooted) MIUI in general is pretty good, around 0.3-0.4%/h with always on 4G data but after a few days it almost always doesn't enter Deep Sleep which increases drain to 2%/h which isn't horrendous at least. Restarting the device is the only fix.
BBS works with ADB permissions so I might give that a try.
For now I have given up on my plan to rid my father's RN10 Pro of stupid MIUI.
is suggest change rom... crdroid is not eccellent, has many bugs (aod blink, touch issue, deep sleep not work).. very very similar (but much better) project elixir 12.1 + last sleepy kernel. no drain, deep sleep working, miui camera included, no bugs, i use this from 2 weeks and work perfect (and i tried ALL existing rom for this device XD )

yes 12.1 discontinued but work very well but attention... only this version... future version of project elixir 13 contains payed feature.. i suggest to not flash that rom.. if you want full working a13 rom, there isn't for now.. i found bugs in all i have tried.. for now best a13 is lineage unofficial and pe+.. but not perfect (for example in lineage mi camera tinted, in pe+ missing for all)
