Hear me out. I think the phone is amazing. The software is crap, now the 5 is out the updates have already slowed. Not to mention OOS is always behind on security.
Now custom roms. I appreciate highly the work so many devs have been doing especially sultan, lineage and paranoid. But theres always something thats a bit off, camera especially, lag etc. Always end up going back to OOS then get bored again, try roms again.
Is there anyone else like me who has had enough of being a crack flasher or gets bored easily and has just had enough of trying to find perfection from a oneplus phone ?
What do you want to hear? Need a confirmation for yourself to get another phone to make the step a bit easier?
Yes, I hate the manner of OnePlus to not even fix a single thing, like the implementation of the Camera2 API. Sure, they lied to us more often than we want. But what company does the job better?
If you want to get a new phone: Fine. I'm also looking for a replacement. But I'm looking for phones for weeks or months, so I'm sure, the phone is good enough and beloved by devs. For me, no OP-device anymore. But really fed up? No.

I dont meed a confirmation from anyone. Ive made a topic for discussion. For instance i have a oneplus one as well ae my back up. There is more stable nougat roms on that, a 3 year old phone than there is on the newer higher spec 3t. Phones are getting ridiculous. What the hell is with these curved screens now so no tempered glass fits properly.
The next phone i get needs to be something that will have good support. Preferably from a company who releases camera sources
LAG on OP3T? wtf :0
I agree with you, I dont like OOS but i love custom roms and PA is perfect, its so smooth and optimized and their camera software is on par with OOS cam

Ive seen lag on pa rom when opening messages and settings and a few other things. It was minor but it bugged me a lot. The camera i didnt think was on par although its better than most roms. I didnt find the camera snappy enough either
Honestly stock is the best for this phone by far. Set it up right and its the fastest phone out there. Are you talking about screen lag or application lag?

Ah! I am defeateddddd! Pa had application lag. For instance it opens but messages would appear after lag and same with settings. Stock is better but i hate the delay in updates that dont fix basic bugs or update security.
My 2 cents; OOS continues to be good enough I don't even bother to unlock anymore. I was a Nexus fan for sure, but the 6P was my end of the line (yeah yeah, end of the line anyway). I had numerous issues and it finally got the bootloop problem that was plaguing many users. I got a used replacement, sold it and never looked back from the 3T. I tried most roms for the Nexus lines and while many were excellent, it was always something. When I got the 3T I decided to just leave it stock for a week and have not looked back. I get at least 2 days from it, it charges insanely fast, have had no lag/reboots/lockups, nothing. I would say I'm a fairly normal user except no social media really, privacy and all.
I keep a tab on what's new and as of today, nothing at all has tweaked my interest. Samsung/Motorola/HTC = never, too bloated. Pixel = too expensive.
I do feel the security updates are a bit slow and some additional OOS goodies would be nice, but for the price, for me it's hands down still the best phone.
Stock is the best rom, ftw

I hear you and agree with all of it. Problem with oneplus now is couple more years it will be on par with samsung pricewise. Then what? The bloated huawei honor line.
Sultans and PA are the best custom roms but they are not without their bugs.

Didn't we get like 2 betas already since the 5 is out? Also, custom roms have issues on EVERY phone. You won't find a phone where a custom rom works 100%.

3 betas since our last update. Because we are still testing for the 5. Tell me what beta features have come to stable?

I don't know and I don't care to be honest. The stable version of OOS is an inferior version of the beta at this point. The beta is 100% stable in my experience and offers more features than the stable one as you've said.

Wlan signal quality is very bad with mine.
Noticeable in many games, when it is endlessly stucked until the it the signal gets through again.
With 4G there is 0 problems, it's only this weak Wlan module, it's getting on my nerve.

Hi,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please let me know.
I just bought a Mi Mix last week and am wondering which ROM is best for me. I had been using a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus which works very well for my needs. Given that, and the following requirements, which ROM would be best for the Mi Mix?
1. Double tap to wake.
2. Not MIUI (I really don't like it).
3. Stable (I'd like to load once and not have to flash new ROMs very often).
4. Nougat 7.1.2
5. Lots of customization options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, welcome to the yard.
Simply all your criterions are telling like you'll get what you want by Resurrection Remix rom. Second shot perhaps should be the AOSiP rom.
Sent from my lithium using XDA Labs
Right now I think AOSiP is the most rounded of them all right now. Just my opinion though.
AICP. It works best for me, has all the customizations you need but isn't as overloaded as RR.
You dont want miui, but sadly epicrom is the fastest in my experience. I tried rr it is recommended.
I loaded Resurrection Remix last night and it was working well until I tried to run the SquareHome launcher. It kept crashing so I then tried Lineage but it went into a reboot loop shortly after the initial start around where you enter the wireless information. So then I flashed AOSiP and it also went into a reboot loop at about the same point. I wiped everything each time. So at this point I flashed RR again just to see if it would load without rebooting and it worked fine. Fortunately I was able to figure out why the SquareHome launcher wasn't working so it's all good now too. Everything with RR seems to be working fine so far but I haven't used it very much yet.
However, I'm curious why the others caused the reboot loop problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Update: I have the YouTube slowness and audio problem so I'm guessing my firmware needs to be updated. Could that have caused the reboot issue with AOSiP and Lineage also?
Thanks for all the help!

Not sure, but the video slowness and audio problem is caused by the dated firmware, try flashing the 7.7.20 firmware found in the RR thread.
I will also recommend you to try ViperOS , it doesnt have much support but the rom is smooth with great battery life (compared to other AOSP/Lineage based roms in my experience) and the performance is very good with no need of a custom kernel.

I have tried every rom for the Mi Mix and the ViperOs is the perfect fit. It's probably the closet to Pure Nexus. I get 8 hours screen time easily, very smooth and very customizable, I love it

I've been having a couple weird things with RR (intermittent proximity sensor and a couple random reboots) so I flashed ViperOs. It seems pretty awesome so far. Thanks!
ViperOs is awesome. Unfortunately I've decided to sell the Mi Mix. I've tried but I just can't get past the audio quality from the 'earpiece' during calls.
Anyone interested in a good deal on a basically brand new Mi Mix 6/256? U.S. only please. Thanks.

Sadly, yes. As I mentioned, I just can't get past the earpiece limitations. My hearing isn't the best and I'm having problems with hearing and understanding callers compared to other phones I have. I really love the phone (that screen! and that battery life!) but I need to use it as a phone which just isn't working for me.

It may not be that bad for everyone. My hearing isn't the greatest so I'm sure that factors in. The best ROM I used in the short time I was using it is ViperOS. I've got it on Swappa right now for $415 but that's a little flexible.
Thanks.

Oh ok gotcha, do you remember which twrp you used with viper rom? I might be interested in your mix, my girl seem mine an how good the camera is so of course if I get mine set up an everything working good an have a good signal in the US northeast, she wants one lol I'll pm you on it at that time, if it isn't sold we'll figure something out.
+1 for RR.
I was exactly just like you, came from N6 and I am happy with this ROM.
I don't mean to be that guy, but i was wondering if anyone was going to bring plain old lineage 15.1 to the Mix. I see all these new oreo roms, with both aosp and los bases, and while they are intriguing, I'd prefer to stick with the tried and true, the most well supported, and thus the most stable custom rom for android.
Ah... I haven't any right to be impatient. I appreciate the work thus far. Just a wish.
I moved away from Lineage since AICP is basically LOS + their extras, and frankly I was building it for myself to begin with. I assumed the AICP/LOS maintainers would already have put out Oreo builds by now. I always found AICP and RR (although it's mostly AOSP-based) to be every bit as stable as LOS, and any bugs they had would almost always be inherited from it. The only app that isn't working in AICP/RR that I'm aware of is the default Music app. There aren't any apps crashing or random reboots or anything else that you'd normally associate with beta ROMs (aside from the TWRP issues that some have reported).
It doesn't look like RR is going to have an official maintainer for the Mix so I might have that one for the foreseeable future. The AICP guy said that they will be bring Oreo builds soon. If/when they do I suppose I could swap AICP out for LOS, but juggling 3 ROMs is a bit much. Even if I built it, it'd almost certainly have the same TWRP issues with decryption/mounting data that my last AICP/RR builds had. Hopefully Hen Ry will migrate to Oreo ASAP.

I´ll build it for you tomorrow. stay tuned!!!
Didn't necessarily expect the outpouring, but it is appreciated. Ive heard alot about aicp, and its rock solid composition. In theory id like to switch, but i perhaps have an irrational attachment to LOS. Been running custom roms for 7 years now and I'm not long for much experimenting, though i should probably do a bit more.
Ha, no pressure at all, but it would be cool to see LOS 15.1 in official or unofficial capacity. Gavin especially, you've put in alot of work, so dont take it too seriously. Just voicing a thought. Thanks guys.

Also, you may want to consider opening an unofficial thread for 15.1 in the development section if all is well. I can't be the only holdout for LOS 15.
Once again, thank you
Haha... Ha...
Tried it, works like a charm.
HOWEVER, the twrp issue, encryption, 0mb data even though the settings in 15.1 state that the rom is not encrypted, that's been plaguing all oreo roms reared its ugly head. Typing this on my trusty oneplus one because i utterly botched my mix. Whew. I know better. Still, it hurts.
Until the twrp and encryption issues are figured out, i think this'll be a major stumbling block. Even so,thank you for your work.

Re: twrp issue, what version are you using ? Same problem with RR oreo? Is proximity working on this rom?
Sorry, didn't test long enough to find out. Chickened out at the first sign of trouble. I really cant have my phone down for too long.
As for the twrp, its an older version, smarty twrp based on 3.0.2.? I believe it is the only other version of twrp beyond raines that doesn't have the touch screen issues if not matched perfectly with the rom. It flashed oreo, but it wouldn't mount any partitions after flashing oreo. Had to format everything. Should've anticipated that, but id been drinking.
Oh well.
From whay ive seen, i have no reason and had no expectation of proximity working here,as this is the base for other roms with non-working proximity. Those that have downtime to spare can confirm.

The MultiROM and raupe builds are both newer and have working touch. I've been using this one for ~6 months (unencrypted) and never had any issue with the Oreo ROMS (PE/RR/AICP and Cardinal).
The proximity mention was because they stated that they had fixed the issue.

What good is it if everyone creates a ROM and they all have the same sources?
I have already created a LOS build, but no proxi and partition is
"Encrypted".

I know im not a pro dev , im starting to it but hey...we all have started from zero so..ill try my best to keep Mi Mix updated (the proximity sensor fix is not mine , the user that fixed it don't want to share with me so sorry for that) , as I don't know which sources are the best I just use the ones that the other devs used .

The average user doesn't care or know about sources. Sure, PE/Cardinal and AICP/RR could be twins, but more choice is better than less.
The whole reason that myself and albertoduqe started building Oreo ROMs is because no one else was doing it. Sure, some of them might be very similar, but to the end users most ROMs are 95% identical anyway. All it takes is for one ROM to have some minor config option or theme or whatever and that's enough to make someone choose it over the next one that's 99% the same under the hood. Also, if one or two of us move on to another device, like papps did, then there will still be one or two around to keep putting builds out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't almost all ROMs out there based on either LOS or AOSP anyway?

Just LoL. No other words.
Don't drink and flash, truer words never been spoken.
On the TWRP, I was aware when i was forced to reformat, but i didn't want to go down that rabbit hole again,not in that condition. Now that its down and im sane again, i suppose i could really mess with it. Ive reached the acceptance phase of loss.
Ill try those newer versions of twrp when i have some time, its a bridge ive needed ti cross, now more than ever.

100% Agree to your point Gavin. Being a flashaholic user, the more ROM to try the merrier.!!! Its regardless of the sources. To devs who are devoting their time trying to build a new ROM i salute you all. You all know who you are. We are all glad that you keep the flame burning for Mi Mix! Keep it up Devs.....
The major issue I ran into when flashing the build posted here is that I cannot flash magisk. An issue with mounting the vendor partion arises in that part of the workflow, ending in Error 1.
Beyond that, the temporary solution to the 0mb issue is to reformat your data to f2fs in recovery, specifically the one Gavin posted here. I no longer have any issues after first boot. A little more on my experience here. But this confirms it working on two oreo roms for me now, and I expect the rest will run too.
In my expanded testing, I couldn't get proximity to work..., but everything else ran fine for the most part. Ill have to wait until the vendor partition mounting works to continue on as root is a requirement for me, and magisk is the best supported at this time.
What is the best custom rom for mi 8?
Why you choose it?
If there are pros and cons list of the custom rom that would be nice xD
For me AOSP Syberia and AOSIP and MIUI based XEU ROm

At the moment, I believe that Miui Pro is the best. I just installed it yesterday. It has so many additional features that I can't begin list them all, and there is no doubt in my mind that it has the absolute best battery life.
My first choice was Pixel Experience , but I didn't find options I was after, then moved to Havoc for about a week - too many options, issues with notifications and fingerprint working erraticly on online banking (issues with magisk perhaps). Now I'm settled with crDroid for now and found this quite good, Still have lineageos and few others to try. I'm wondering if any of the ROMs will show led notifications while connected to a charger?

What is the last version for mi8?...Otas updates?...Weekly updates?
thanks!!!
I don't have much time to test all those ROMs, so I always choose stable MIUI ROM. I tried xiaomi.eu ROM, but battery didn't last more than 1 day and SOT was about 4 hours. Then I installed Mi Room and it works like a charm. The developer also maintains own TWRP, brings always fresh news about Xiaomi brand on his page. The major drawback is that the site is fully russian. But google translate will do the job. With this ROM I have SOT about 8 and more hours, Wifi, BT, GPS, data always on.

About mi room did you using beta or stable? I suppose that stable but I would like to confirm.
Yes, stable. Betas are also good, but I don't want to spend my free time downloading and flashing new rom every week.

Then don't.
I mean I know that you know this already. But you don't have to flash a new Rom every week. Just resist the urge. I will try Mi-Room sometime. But at the moment Miui Pro is truly one of the best Rom's that I have ever used. According to GSam just now, SOT is 9 hours and 58 minutes
I stopped flashing weekly doing because it becomes too much like an addiction and takes too much of my free time away from other more important things like yelling at my kids........joking.

No its based on Beta.
Personally, I prefer the beta. But as you know you will occasionally see bugs.
I have been using the beta roms on my Mi8 for about 3 months. Honestly I only see bugs occasionally and if there is a bug, I just dirty flash back to the prior release.

I have tried MS and eu rom. Loved MS because of customizations. (Useful). So what about MiUI Pro rom ? What customisation available?

I am going to bed, so I will have to give the list later. Pretty much everything you can imagine. For example, everything that I have seen in Miui Roms from Nougat up through Pie. But all incorporated within a Pie Rom. What is really useful, is the Smart Network options, the extra connections timers and battery savings scripts that go well beyond typical Miui. Plus Miu Pro has the menu animations from Nougat, not sure if you know those, the folding, unfolding, overshoot etc. It doesn't do much but its a neat looking novelty, your can import any theme, as I have mentioned the battery life is phenomenal.
I need to sleep now. Yes, I definitely love that Rom. But I will check out the ew Mi-Room rom too since I have tried it yet.

Hi Rajeev, I messaged you.
The most current version is 9.5.9. However, It is my understanding that Miui Pro is only updated monthly and 4PDA has been a great resource for me. As you may know, it's very difficult getting past the Cyrillic captcha on 4PDA so I joined the site with help from a Russian friend.
For the benefit of other readers I will reiterate something I said to you privately
I assume that OTA is one of the benefits from having a subscription.
With that being said, I have dirty flashed Miui Pro and other EU weekly beta custom roms with zero issues
Flash, dont root yet / boot to system / update google store apps / reboot to recovery/ then flash Magisk/ Enjoy
Finally, Miui Pro is so very good so I definitely recommend that any interested parties check it out. If anyone can afford the OTA subscription, I am sure that the developers would really appreciate your support. Otherwise, I know that updates via 4PDA have been ongoing for a long time, because I have used them on my other devices. Because of the long-term consistency with 4PDA updates, I have always assumed the updates posted on 4PDA are from the developers themselves and the link that I posted a couple of days ago is always updated with the latest Miui pro ROM releases as the become available.
I will most likely go for Syberia, once my Mi 8 can be unlocked, with Pixel Experience and LineageOS being the backup options.
First and foremost, I look for a ROM that provides a fast experience, good battery life and stability. Customisation options beyond that what AOSP offers are welcome, but not a necessity.
What would you guys suggest, given I don't want to use MiUI-based ROMs.
Does anyone else have it happen that all android 12.1 or android 12L roms destroy their battery? In my case they always end up decalibrating, and it also lasts less As if this were not enough, I bought a new battery and the same thing happens When I go back to android 10 with my beloved Havoc rom the problems are solved once I calibrate the battery It's really a shame because Android 12 roms are beautiful in general. Am I the only one this happens to?
pd: sorry for my english haha
Stay on 10 if you can. I'm not seeing nothing pretty with 12 but each to his own.
Rule #1 if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be.
Upgrades can and do break things... malware seldom does, Anything from Android 9 and up is reasonably secure... unless you do stupid things.
13 is really looking wicked bad right now... no saving this dud

Are you talking about some (official) MIUI 13 with A12 release for Renoir or about someone's port of MIUI 13 from another device to Renoir (K20 Pro) or about a custom A12 ROM?
Because, Renoir is AFAIK EOL and not receiving A12 - it was even said that if it receives MIUI 13, it would still be based on A11

You are right, but I meant if the same thing happens to others, it is strange, because it seems that I am the only one that happens to it, it happens to me more than anything with the Evo 12.1 rom, I think that with Voltage it happened but less scale so to speak, maybe I should try more roms and kernels
