Best Custom Rom for Xiaomi Redmi 8 - Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys
i just want to install custom rom on my Redmi 8 i don't care about android 10 or 11 , so , which custom rom is the best for battery life?

im currently trying out havoc 4.12 and have to say its more battery friendly than crdroid 7.12, havent tried .13 yet. if you want to try havoc, id strongly recd to download both variants, as some have bugs on vanilla and vice versa
your mileage will vary
normally id have a minimum set of apps installed and running, and will def use a browser for anything and everything

Stable Treble ROM

hi i own a mi 4x as a backup device and currently its on PixelExperience (non-treble) ROM. I have to use the device for several days and i would like to flash a Treble ROM. So i dont have alots of time to test various ROMs. So what im asking is kindly point me some most stable Trebelized ROM. i dont mind its weather 8.1 or 9.0. i wanna use a stable ROM.
Thanks
I hope you are referring to Xiaomi Redmi 4X if so then go for DOT OS 2.4 or HAVOC OS both ROM are based on Android 8.1 are much stable and have decent battery life. (haven't tried them with custom kernel but have learned that they give good battery life with it)
Android Pie based ROMs are quite good too but they do have bugs but can be use as for daily use ROM.
I am currently using official HAVOC OS 2.0 based on Android Pie it does have bugs too but they aren't major ones.
Sorry for the off-topic, Oreo Havoc OS is not on XDA, correct? I've searched and couldn't find it, only Pie version. Is this the Oreo version you mean @metelhammer?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/santoni/
Yes, this is the official Havoc OS download link.
Havoc 2.0 is based on Android Pie which is -> Havoc-OS-v2.0-20180903-santoni-Official.
All other old zips are based on Android Oreo.
As for now only first zip is Android Pie and all old builds are Oreo ones.
Later they should be named as Havoc OS 2.0.
Everything clear, thank you for your help!
Do you find Havoc 2.0 stable enough for daily use?
Your welcome ?
Yes, it is quite good for daily use certainly it has bugs but they aren't major ones.
Compared to Android Oreo based Havoc OS it has less customization but that's totally fine considering it is first build.
I am using it since when it released.
Battery life is quite decent not that good, I get around 6 hours of SOT and I haven't tried any kernel with it so it might give good battery backup with it.
On mobile data as usual like all other custom ROMs battery life isn't that good.
ROM is smooth though and can be use as daily driver.
Thank you very much for all the info @metelhammer
I've tried Havoc 2.0 last night, but my microphone didn't work, so I went back to Havoc Oreo, everything fine for now.
I think I'll just wait for a stable enough Pie build, can't wait for it though :highfive:
Microphone didn't worked that's strange, it is working fine here.
No problem I am too waiting for future update, cheers!
I have tried most roms on redmi 4x. My recommendation is Lineage 15/14

Any android 10 rom for mi 9?

I searched for android 10 rom but I can't find. Did any one find an official or unofficial build for mi 9?
I like to use Miui 11 by xiaomi.eu (second link). It is based on the latest Chinese version (Android 10). If you have any question search first.

I don't how far along they are concerning usability but I prefer to wait for more stable stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I'll try and use any clean android 10 Rom that might (ever) come but I like my phone to work as it should :victory:
For now, yes, only miui based for android 10, which means you might as well use any miui version since they look so much alike!
is the miui 11 from xiaomi.eu any good? can you remove the xiaomi apps with titanium etc?

You can remove apps with titanium as in any ROM or android phone with root privilegies...
If the ROM is any good, just try it yourself and take your own conclusions.
Ive tried Extendedui 1 and Derpfest 10-Official-cepheus-20200105
Both are very good, some more adjustable things in derpfest. SOT around 6 to 7 hours with velis autobrightness, leandroid.
Is there a ROM you know with more adjustable settings like flip to mute, automatic callrecorder... and a good battery management like in syberia pie?
Here you'll find an overview of ROMS

Most stable Custom rom for redmi 9

I know this is a lame question. But which one is currently most stable rom for redmi 9 from your experience. I used corvus, nusantara, bliss, evolution x. Fist one/two week everything runs smooth. But then bug starts appearing here and there. Launcher keeps stoping, battery draining, hang etc. Debloated stock rom has very less bug but miui optimization and ram management stops me from loving miui
Pixel : Experience (A10)/Extended
For sure there is none custom rom without bugs,for sure at moment the last miui perform much better as any custom rom here,but with root,ive tested all and the latest miui android 11 is more stable,better battery and butter smooth,cheers!!!!

Question Is there no OS that really stable for this phone?!

I've tried MIUI 12 and 13, they're both trash!! There must be some shortage for each version!! Even the last version of MIUI 12!! Come on Xiaomi!!
Actually I like the hardware, but the OS???!!!
Any body could give me a suggestion for which OS is the most stable??
MMX custom rom, debloated, still based on MIUI
i m Wait pixel experience stock rom without root.
If u want performace, i will suggest oxygen os or if u have a low end phone, you can try roms of other devices having same chipset as yours. but u need to modify them a bit.
MIUI is terrible, yeah.
I recently switched to PixelExperience GSI and it's pretty good.
Auto brightness is a bit finicky and logging into your Google account can be annoying if you use SMS for 2FA, because SMS don't work by default (it's just one switch in settings).
But there are no crashes and it's way less buggy than stock.

Could you explain to me what GSI mean? Whats the difference between non GSI and with GSI PixelExperience?

GSIs (Generic System Images) are universal for all devices supporting Treble. All devices released with Android 9 and later are required to support it.
"Classic" ROMs are built for specific device only.
Here's a guide on how to install one:
How to install custom roms (GSI) 11T > Pro
How to install a gsi onto your Mi 11t > Pro This will wipe your phone and I'm not responsible for any bricked device's. you can always go back to stock and try again. Clean install suggested! 1.0 Start with downloading things Latest...

Same here
The is an urgent need for a good software
I´m having crashes and reboots like every hour since I got MIUI 12.5
Does anyone else have this problem?
Would you recommend to flash the firmware again or to go with a Custom Rom?

Never had this problem with this version.
Try to reset the phone.
Flash firmware with Miflash.
Flash a Xiaomi EU rom.
Waiting for paranoid for 11tpro, as of now magisk is not working normal so switched to Stock OS
If I were you, I prefer flash custom rom like: Xiaomi.EU
Much more stable!!

Pixel Experience is a good start. Nice smooth ROM with good battery backup. It however has very few customization options. If you want tonnes of customization you could try Project Elixir, but I don't know about its battery usage.
