As the title says, Can anyone please suggest me a really rock solid ROM? My mom use this device, So i cannot personally experiment much myself. Any Android version will work.
I'm currently using XenonHD but it have some bugs like Force closing of Google now launcher (sometimes), Bluetooth don't work for me, Wifi keeps getting disconnected after sleep, Some apps freeze.
I've also tried RR rom (both official and unofficial) few months back but due to proximity bug, Apps force close (quite often on official one), I've discontinued it.
It would be a great help if anyone could post their review about bugs and performance and battery backup of Daniel_hk's Lineage & Carbon build and Vibe_UI final (Or other versions) or any other rom you use as a daily driver.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Go for lineage
If you need the most stable one than i think the lineage os 14.1 .according to my exp the lineage os has got the minimum number of bugs with no major ones. As i too had the same experience with the RR rom when i used to use it i can clearly say that the lineage os 14.1 is much better than RR rom...

Thanks to you now i also using lineage 14.
I Want to know which kernal are you using it with?
Venom (not booting even after unpacking boot.img) and Ultimate kernal is not booting.
Reince have Wifi autoconnect bug and pixelblitz's link is down.
Hello guys.. yesterday I bought to my girlfriend a new mobile phone and I got from her the old one... And that is the mighty Mi max 2 ...
Please feel free to inform - advice me which rom and kernel is complete best for mi max 2 end which Google camera APK you use for better shots..
Thank you all.
You can use pixel experience rom with hardrock pie kernel for best performance and battery life along with gcam support
I've tested tonns of roms for Max 2 and now I'm on stock developer ROM with root and latest kernel from Hard_Rock. If you want gcam then install it using root, if you want smth else - then you can also install it via root.
This is my opinion of the best for this phone.
ArrowOS is most stable ROM currently. Using that paired with Hard Rock's latest Pie kernel will give you the best build. Pixel's Gcam is already baked into the firmware as well so you won't need to flash the modded Gcam like before.
i also have tried lot of custom roms and so far works for me best PixelExperience
I am also fan of hardrock roms and his roms are awesome and well optimized.
HERE THERE ARE FEW SCENARIOS:
a) IF U WANT TO UPGRADE TO NEW ANDROID VERSION AND U DON'T HAVE ISSUE DEALING WITH IN CALL VOLUME(oreo was joke):
Here are best pie roms:
1) for well round best balanced rom with balanced extra features go for arrow
2) for best plain and simple roms almost like stock , go for pixel experience or lineage
3) if u want huge extra features and u like to play with more and more features then go for havoc
** Kernel should be hardrock v1.6 for pie .great backup with speed even beats flagship devices in normal performance
b) IF U DONT WANT EVEN ONE SINGLE BUG AND DONT MIND STUCK AT NOUGAT THEN:
1) Best will be miui since no bugs, best sounds, everything is fine..you can choose between different miui modded roms..every rom is almost same
2) if u r custom rom lover then go for lineage 14.1 enforcing..best simple rom yet in nougat or Xenonhd (remarkable) which is best overall quality and media with customisations.
**Kernel always be hardrock kernel since top notch performance and huge control over kernel..u can get maximum out if ur device lol.
Hopefully above suggestions will help:laugh:

You created a whole thread for a simple discussion dear.. and even in ROM, KERNEL AND RECOVERIES DEVELOPMENT GROUP,
YOU MUST CREATE THE THREAD IN MI MAX 2 DISCUSSION GROUP..
pls try to ask these things in any development post , rather then creating a whole new thread for such simple questions..
Thanks you..
Hi everybody,
So I tried LineageOS, CrDroid (favourite one) and EvolutionX 2.0 and while I liked the experience as a whole, I seems to me that apps launch time on custom ROMs is way slower than MIUI (tested on EvolutionX and CrDroid).
For example Youtube takes 5-6 seconds to open on custom ROM but only 1,5 second on MIUI, and it's the same thing with most other apps.
I always see things such as "lightning fast ROM" or "very fast ROM" in the comments, like no one has noticed that apps are much slower to load.
Hell, even my old Honor 6X does much better than my Note 7 on custom ROM in that regard.
So, is it just me or is that normal because of less optimization ?
I also noticed that the custom rom works slower, that's why I switched to stock miui
Hi, I used Resurrection Remix and did not faced any slowness. Youtube for example took 2-3 seconds to open.

I use pixel experience and youtube opens in 2-3 seconds, but this rom uses more ram than stock, in stock free ram is 800mb / 1gb, pixel experience is 800mb / 600mb. Sometimes it causes slowness.
Prefer stock miui.eu version over other custom roms . I also switched back after trying 2-3 roms to miui.
Weird, in my case the custom ROM (AospExtended no gapps, using MicroG, no custom kernel or firmware update) made everything way less laggy and more snappy in general. Apps open in 1 or 2 seconds all the time, battery life is exactly the same as MIUI, gaming performance is the same as before, I've got like 2GB of free RAM (I used to have around 1.5GB with MIUI) when not gaming and most importantly, 0 bloatware.

Interesting as I'm interested in MicroG/NoGApps [do not have the device (yet)]. Usually I prefer LOS, so if official LOS exists the MicroG builds from download.lineage.microg.org - because of hal1/3 issue on lavender official LOS does not look nearby. So best MicroG ROM options to avoid deodex services.jar seem to be [OFFICIAL][9.0]AospExtended v6.6 or Havoc-OS-2.6-[9.0]-[Official] or [9.0][OFFICIAL]crDroid v5.6[Lavender]?

Smoother than stock miui?
I went back to global MIUI (debloated) since it's the smoothest but I do miss CrDroid though
However RAM was never an issue with both stock and custom Roms, always around 2 GB of free RAM.
I'll give Resurrection Remix a shot someday I think.
When I first set up Pixel Experience, it was considerably slower than miui. Turns out I mistakenly set up my super old 64gb microsd as internal storage. The os installed several apps to the microsd. I had to reimage and set it up as removable storage and all is well.
Miui 11
I think Miui rom is always the best.
Los16 is definitely faster than miui!!!
I have Havoc OS 3.2 Android 10 on my Redmi 5 plus and it is super fast compared to miui 10 or 11. Animations are fluid and the whole system feels like flagship. Miui 11 was a disaster on my phone and many other models.

What's the current status on this, what's the most stable, complete (i.e. everything works) and featureful ROM for Redmi 8?
I'm at the dawn of my phone's custrom age, and you could save me some pain if you'd tell me your opinion. What's the best one for daily use, if you like fancy things and hate things not working?

unfortunately for us the only way to know is to try them all out since theyre all still new (@skittels15 and @IAmDeadlylxrd ). download and usage stats do say hundreds, but many of users arent here. itd be much better if they were all encouraged to join the XDA and share their experiences but yeah, what else can we do?
im currently on crdroid 07-05 and honestly i find it stable enough for daily usage (i dont play games on droids). apart from 100% 'my bads' i havent noticed anything major, @mrjoker18 has tried a ton of them though.
and honestly with the current ROM devs, id suggest to not try GSIs
To answer my own question: I'm on the SakuraOS official ROM for the past few days, and it is literally flawless. Everything works down to the tiniest stuffs, no glitches despite my serious tweaking and testing, and it's super smooth, pretty and customizable. SafetyNet works too.
Frankly, it feels like a proper manufacturer OS. Better than the original MIUI.
I also tried DotOS before it for a week, which was nice, but had a few glitches. GPS didn't work, couldn't record video with the included camera app, and I had some random reboot and freezes. I also prefer SakuraOS's look TBH.

Аll @IAmDeadlylxrd's and my roms tested and not have critical bugs and recommended for daily use. Don't panic about bugs. And all roms tested by maintainers and some users from our Telegram-communities. All roms is tested before release to public.
About DotOS: this rom have bugged sourcecode. All device-specified bugs was fixed long time ago in device tree. All roms have only rom's source-specified bugs.

what talking about ?
I have LineageOS installed on my Redmi Note 10 5G and randomly the keyboard will go through this loop of:
Appearing for .25s-2.5s
Disappearing for 3-10s
and it is really irritating. I haven't found a fix for this but I can temporarily fix it by restarting. Please help me find a permanent fix!
EDIT: Not sure if I should re-flash the ROM to something other than LineageOS (e.g. Pixel Experience) and that'll fix it.
I ended up reflashing to the latest version of Treble Pixel Experience, hopefully this has fixed it. Until it disappears again, consider this the fix.

pe is just fully stock android from "Google Pixel's" with some tweaks (just like all of the roms and gsis too) to boot on other devices. No customization whatsoever, so if you wish to have a stock android experience with nothing special then pe is the best
Lineage os is balanced to stock experience with some customizations and a few more gapps included, but from some sources says that their open source apps give you more privacy, and the rom gives you access to set more privacy like "Trust", "Privacy guard", "Protected Apps" and scrambling PIN in lock screen
so go to pixel experience if you just want a full stock android experience, or lineage os for more privacy and some customizations
