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.

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.

Hi, I'm looking for the best combination of rom and kernel for battery life for Redmi 4X. I read a lot of thread about this, but none of them was really intelligible. Now I'm using latest MIUI ITA on Nougat, with stock kernel. With this combination I reach about 8h of active screen, very good (a lot), and also no battery drain. It doesn't matter if new rom will be Nougat or Oreo, or if it wouldn't have a lot customization, I only want to change ROM with a similar battery life. For example I like a lot Lineage OS, do you recommend it? I'm not very expert about kernels, so which one? Thank you in advance, waiting for your replies
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
Which combination of custom rom and custom kernel gets maximum battery life?
Is f1xy kernel available for this device but in XDA there is no thread available but in GitHub it is available can I install those and it is in two versions and if can I install
Which one should I install
F1xy-Raphael-v0.25-LOSFOD.zip
F1xy-Raphael-v0.25-MI9FOD.zip
For battery, try miui. But if u dont like miui then try havoc with fixy/englezos kernel. havoc gave me better sot than evo x. And talking about kernel, if ur on aosp flash los fod
Try SuperiorOS with Immensity Kernal. It gives great battery life.. Also give Msm extended a try.
Miui xiaomi EU
Hey I used PE android 10 rom last version in the past and it was great in terms of performance and battery back but some bugs.
Then came back to stock global miui but pubg was lagging. So I need your help guys to get a rom which is battery backup and pubg smoothness. I don't mind at all if its android 10 or older. Just need stable rom.
If there are any combos rom + kernel, please specify version of that rom/kernel too.
Currently I'm on latest evox 17 feb 2020 and default kernel (clean flash). Pubg is great and smooth but battery is draining very badly.
Going to try evox 4.5 + immensity kernel latest version now.
