I tried few, imo, every rom have same result, i will get same performance on this phone, battery same too.
All rom after installed i will root and debloat all trash app, turn kill background app and data.
PE give simple, smooth but poor fearture, lower face unlock speed, can not unlock while wear facemask.
MIUI is smooth enough and funtional, give every thing fearture i need, but i met cellular stanby drain and somethime miss notif.
So best rom base on your choice.

Roms with the best battery life?

Greetings I have the x527, I tried to use LeEco's UI didn't like it feels like a crappy version of MIUI and EMUI, switched to MIUI had amazing battery life but the notifications were so broken, now I switched to Darkness Re-Defined Official.
Can you guys tell me a good room with a decent battery life and not a broken camera which crashes so often it feels like I don't have one at all? I dislike using apps like Greenify they just give me notification problems. I would like to push the SOT to at least 5 and a half hours. Any suggestions?

Use mokee, bcz the ROM is stable and has inbuilt app to hibernate processes when they are not in use. This will give you an amazing battery backup without compromising any notification. Camera is not stable in any ROM as all are based on lineage and the source is codeworkx. So until he gets it fixed you can use open camera.

Xiaomi.EU vs Custom Roms

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about using the latest ParanoidAndroid or HavocOS but I'm curious for everyone who has used both xiaomi.eu or stock rom and those custom roms I mentioned above. What do you guys think is the difference? Pros and cons of each roms? What do you suggest? im currently on xiaomi.eu
The desire to try is great, but both paranoid and havoc have some flaws .... The best is: Xiaomi. eu 11.0.9. stable QFACNXM

That's what I feel man. Haha. I really want to try custom roms but from experience with my oneplus 3, custom roms like havoc is faster but the photo and video quality is bad compared to stock and also the battery life is also shorter. :/

Hi. I have always preferred android stock, miui I do not like too much. I have tried many roms (pixel experience, paranoid android, extended ui, lineage, havoc ...). The devs do a great job, and the roms are very stable, very few bugs. However, unfortunately, the truth is that none is as stable as miui. They are less smooth, the camera and the sound are worse, and I have always noticed something strange in the scrolling of apps such as the browser, Telegram, etc. I suppose it has to do with the proprietary drivers of Xiaomi, but in the end in miui everything ends up working better. It is my opinion

Thank you so much. Yeah, it's really the performance from the custom roms that makes you want to install them but the stability, it really is more stable with miui. I guess I'll just stick with the stock rom for now. Thanks again.

Honestly, the performance and battery life on the eu rom is also better than the AOSP roms, because it includes so much of the proprietary customization and the proprietary drivers.
xiaomi.eu should be default ROM for all xiaomi phones

Most stable Android 11 ROM

Hi guys,
I wanna get off MIUI and start using an Android 11 ROM. I wonder which one is the most stable and best maintained one?
I don't do any gaming or performance-intensive things on my phone so while the overall experience should be fast and smooth I don't care all that much about performance.
Stability, battery life and regular (security) updates is what matters to me.
Maybe you can suggest something. So far I'm thinking about Evolution X.

Is it worth flashing a custom rom for performance/battery life gains?

Hi,
I have a 2.5 year old mi a2 and plan to keep it for 6-12 months more. I never installed am custom rom(android one feels pretty decent), But with the battery life and performance deteriorating I am wondering if it is worth it to install a custom rom to improve these areas.
Are android 10 roms as stable and compatible as stock android? If so which ones?
I really appreciate your help!
bump?

Of course they are better than stock. These days you can find custom roms like Awaken that are even encrypted and on the latest Android 11.
Used and tried Awaken, Fluid, Shapeshift, Derp Fest, all good. Depends only which one you like more.

General Lets appreciate the enhanced MIUI

The latest two betas of Xiaomi.eu based on Chinese MIUI enhanced version has remarkable stability, much better battery life- for first time since I got this phone, once only charge to 90% keeps the phone rocking for the whole day even with extensive and heavy use. These betas are almost totally bug-free for Mi 11 ultra.
Many threads here in this forum are filled with scary stories... including a few of my own like those of others. Wanted to give a clearer idea to potential new buyers of this phone.
How are these compared to the latest stable? Because I'm having some issues on it I didn't have on global stable
I'm currently on Xiaomi.eu 21.8.26 but I haven't noticed the performance and battery life improvements so far - is there a way to check if the new features of MIUI Enhanced are definitely enabled under any of the settings?

Compared to the global 12.5.4 and Chinese MIUI 12.5.10, there is noticeable improvement on these Xiaomi.eu betas. I have not tried stable Xiaomi.eu. So I would not know.

I am on the same beta and have noticed the improved MIUI very clearly. Despite my maximum and heavy use, I cannot drain the juice of the phone to under 10% in a day. For similar use, I had to charge the phone twice previously when I was using the official global and chinese MIUI.
And also the UI is butter smooth as well. There are no jitters at all.
There is no way to know from inside the firmware that whether you are running the enhanced MIUI. I noticed the improvements on 21.8.18 first and then searched the Xiaomi.eu forums. There, the devs confirmed to a question by a user that this beta (21.8.18) is based on enhanced version of MIUI.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback.
I'm now downloading Xiaomi.eu 21.9.1 and will monitor my battery performance to see if there's been any improvements.

I've installed the latest weekly from Xiaomi EU yesterday and I must say that is working extremely well,it still lacks on performance slightly on cold app start despite official global (I would be curious to try the official chinese weekly it must be a sky rocket). I confirm so far that many bugs have been resolved like stuttering when the rear display is on, whatsapp backup restore doesn't crash anymore, cpu temp looks cooler now and 120hz are really smooth. Great job. I'm really looking forward to see if enhanced version coming official on global devices will be as great
Glad to know it worked for you like it is doing for me. I launch apps via their shortcuts created with a free app from google play (I just cant stand the app icon labels. Creating shortcuts achieve label-less icons). The apps start instantly this way. So I may have overlooked the app start up time when launched from actual app icon.
The Today's beta include the September security patch. That is a hot hot cake for me .
I will greatly appreciate if the official stable MIUI with the enhanced features drop quickly. Nevertheless, we have at least some pathway for the time being to be able to use the phone with all its full potential without major bugs. This is the way for Xiaomi to walk on. Fix the vital software!!
May I ask what's the name of the app for launching the apps? It sounds weird to me but it is worth a try. Also I would add that fingerprint scanner is kuch faster now as well. Great

There are many. I like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker
I found a little bug
With YouTube vanced when I have PiP video on the display, I experience contant stutter on browser navigation.
@hellodrsoul may I ask you please to do a test for me regarding the app cold start time?
If you can please test both with your shortcut or with app drawer and check if you see any difference
