Android pie and Miui 10?

I've just taken stock of my new MI8 128gb in white and love it after 24hours.
The question is should I update to MIUI 10 and Android Pie or just Pie - I heard some things are not so good with Miui 10 namely GPS which is important to me.
Before I update what are your thoughts as i'm already thrilled with the speed and look, also is there some really good camera app should get or other useful apps?
I have Spotify, netflix, whatsapp, FB + messenger, Samsung health + Galaxy wearables ( to go with my galaxy watch).
Thanks for any tips on next things to do to improve this phone

Pro: The MIUI camera really isn't very good with old versions. And you won't be able to use Google Camera Port(which is vastly superior) on those old MIUI versions.
Con: Most people report worse battery life with newer MIUI Android Pie versions

Flashed havoc Rom and never looked back. If you are okay with unlocking bootloader and doing a little flashing, Havoc is a far far far superior rom to miui, with great Google camera.

Havoc-OS is very good ROM, but it is not superior then MIUI. I have been used Havoc and liked very much, but i am back to MIUI XEU ROM, and it is better then Havoc. Also you can install GCam on miui without root. This AOSP PIE are good but all they have something missing. I recommend you to install XEU ROM

Yeah no Glonass or dual gps support on havoc os

Yes here is link for XEU ROMs https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/
but to install this ROM you have also to unlock Bootloader and install TWRP recovery
for GCam https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/mi-8-google-camera-mod-t3803984

Hi, I'm not very tech savvy but I thought one person reported you can get gcam without rooting.... is not your suggestion of unlocking bootloader and install TWRP recovery - rooting? I assumed there was just some apk we could download and install.

I dont understand what you mean about rooting? twrp?
this thema is name "Android Pie and Miui 10", i understand that you dont know what to use, AOSP Android Pie, or Miui Pie? i hope i am right. If you want to use AOSP Android Pie, you need twrp, and unlock bootloader. And if you unlock bootloader and install twrp then it is better to install XEU ROM then AOSP Android Pie. AOSP Android Pie or XEU ROM you cant install just as apk.
you dont need root for GCam, just download apk and install , for example this one https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog355/
I give you link of Gcam thema here on forum, to read, not just first post.

Looking for a *stable* ROM

Hey guys!
I'm a very recent owner of Mi 9T Pro (less than 24h remaining until unlock becomes available). I'm also a recent consumer (if that's the right word for it) in the custom ROM scene. About a week ago I decided to check out LineageOS 16.0 on my old (Android 4.4.2) phone, and I was blown away by the performance improvement. It really gave my old device a second wind.
So when it comes to my new Mi 9T Pro, the long term strategy is almost certainly to install the official version of LineageOS 17.0 as soon as it becomes available (if at all and boy do I hope it does). However, since the official release might be (as I understand) several months away, it leaves me with a time window to use some other ROM until then. I've checked out LineageOS 16, 17, HavocOS 2.8, 3.0 & Pixel Experience ROM threads in this forum. It appears they all have some or other issues.
And this is where I was hoping to get a suggestion from you guys. What I'm interested in is the most stable ROM currently available for this phone. To be more clear, I'll illustrate what I mean by "stable":
1) Novelty not required.
It doesn't have to be Android 10 necessarily. Stability > novelty.
2) Most commonly used features take precedence.
I would certainly prefer a lag-less UI and no issues with signal reception over working NFC and Bluetooth audio (all 4 issues seem to appear with some regularity in mentioned threads).
Well, that's basically it, I hope you get the gist of it. If not I'll be glad to clarify further.
Just to be clear, I'm really not looking for a perfect solution where there is none. Just the least painful one. MIUI is not an option.
Thank you!
P.S. Sorry if this is a dup. I only managed to find a handful of outdated questions (~2 months old) which had very little engagement to begin with.

I use crDroid 5.8 (5.9 build does not work with global fw &vendor) and all the android 10 ROMs besides LOS 17 have broken NFC and BT .. And los 17 is also not perfect. Slows down after a while. We just have to wait till every K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro version gets stable MIUI 11. Right now android 10 is not daily drive ready.

I'm using Résurrection Remix with the same build for over 2 month (the last one), and i dont have any bug.
I'm dtarting to have some troubleshootings after 2-3 weeks and it only require to restart to get fixed.
Also i'm not a big user of the phone so at the end of the day there is 70% battery left!

First of all, thank you for your input!
But what about Android 9 based ROMs like LOS16, Havoc-OS 2.8, Pixel Experience etc.? Wouldn't they be more stable based on the fact that Android 9 was already out (for quite some time) when K20 Pro was released? And also because the developers have simply had more time to iron out the issues?

I have basically tried every rom there is on this forum, and multiple vendors, roms later, i can suggest that EvolutionX, Pixel experience plus (pie are both pretty stable. But they have minor issues. Definitely daily driver material.
But! in my suggestion, if you could stick to a debloated MIUI. It would be hassle free.
Pros for using the stock rom.
Fingerprint sensor works faster
Doesn't break safetynet, so.. google pay support.
widevine L1 in other cases.
And most importantly, the camera functionality doesnt break

Thank you very much for your (somewhat unexpected) suggestion!
To be honest, I hadn't really considered debloating, but I will most certainly look into it. Are there some preferred debloating solutions out there?

Follow the steps in the Removing Bloatwares in Locked/Unlocked Bootloader part of the first post in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647

True, MIUI has way faster and better fingerprint recognition than all custom roms. Sadly I hate MIUI look and feel...
If you want to give MIUI a try, install the xiaomi eu ROM, which is pretty clean and without much preinstalled stuff.
Best is not to use the custom ROMs with ALL the features, since those ROMs are more laggy and buggy.
So if custom ROMs, try android 9 based. I will flash android 10 again only after 2-3 builds which use MIUI 11 firmware and vendor, since I do have a global K20 Pro/ Mi 9T Pro and don't want to lose DRM L1 or NFC by flashing IN or CN fw and vendor. Because most android 10 ROMs require MIUI 10 android 10 fw and vendor (and there is no global MIUI 10 android 10 fw & vendor)
So depends after all, how much you hate MIUI.
I flashed a custom ROM because of the following things
clean stock UI
no gapps
better everyday performance

So.. the simple trick is to flash chinese vendor miui 10.3.16..
Mine in an indian unit.. and flashing any vendor except the chinese one gives me some sort of error or bootloop..
So.. my process is..
1- unlock bootloader
2-flash recovery (orangefox or twrp)
3- boot into revovery
4-wipe system
5- flash vendor
6- flash rom (gapps if necessary)
7- wipe cache
8- reboot

I guess so.. and sorry brother.. i dont use telegram..
I'd suggest you stick to global vendor..
If it doesn't work, then try chinese..
Widevine is not an issue for me.. but you might stream HD content.. so.. look into it..
And i forgot to mention... Always format data before rebooting.. format data is different from wipe data.. keep that in mind..
You should stick to the process.. it should go flawlessly..

Now if you need to debloat those 6-7 Realme apps (handle with care) , i just put them in a folder in nova's drawer and forgot about them.

Realme ui is simple but it is not optimized for mid range mobiles like realme 8 there you might face issues like ram management, heating issues n all so for that specs of mobiles custom Rom are much lighter

The most likely you chose wrong image. It should be arm32_binder64 (A64 - not arm64) vndklite. For example:
https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases/download/v313/PixelExperience_arm32_binder64-ab-vndklite-11.0-20211009-UNOFFICIAL.img.xz
Only Pixel Experience 11 supports such images. Read whole thread linked above, it has more information (which can be useful in that matter) about flashing GSI on A6+.

Ported/Porting/Ports means a specific software that only works on selected devices and giving it support to work for other devices.
In the case of your question, Xiaomi Cam, or MIUI Cam, is the default camera application for Xiaomi devices tunes by Xiaomi themselves and only works for Xiaomi devices, with specific features for each devices.
ANX Camera is the port of MIUI Camera that works for Custom ROM and some non-miui based OS. ANX is a Magisk Module too meaning you'll have to root your phone to install systemlessly. Link to the download:
ANXCamera by AEonAX
Download latest ANXCamera, A Miui Camera Port for Xiaomi's Devices, Install via Magisk or TWRP
camera.aeonax.com
I recommend you to use v204 even though it's an alpha release to get the closest camera quality similar to stock. If that doesn't work, try the stable release which are 190R or 185R.
