Best ROM for Redmi 4 Prime as of right now

Hey guys,
I am currently running a beta of MIUI EU (it was one of the first original ROMs) however I want something new and stable. If I flash the stable MIUI EU I need to flash it from scratch and delete data, so I might as well see whats out there.
What is the most stable ROM for us currently?
My requirements in a ROM are the below;
- Fingerprint Sensor
- Encryption
- No bloatware
- Stable
- Receives OTA updates
- Good battery management (MIUI actually does a pretty good job of this AFAIK)
I am currently looking into EPIC and Resurrection however I want the one that will be receiving updates going forward etc.
Please let me know your thoughts of what you guys are using and why etc.

Try FlymeOS, but as some bloatware... There's no Custom ROM with OTA. Only MIUI and FlymeOS

Currently the only custom rom that usable is mokee 6 by razziell, but no OTA. Else use xiaomi.eu like your current choice.
All nougat custom rom currently suffer from either fingerprint, gps and camera bug due to lack proper driver from xiaomi. MIUI 9 based on nougat will fix those problems.

When you say "the only custom rom that (is) usable", are you taking into account the latest unofficial lineage os 13 by Jacoghi? I'm referring to lineage-13.0-20170506-UNOFFICIAL-markw that isn't available on Xda, but only on Bruno Coghi's YouTube channel.
It has everything working and covers all the items on that checklist, except for OTA updates.
It's my daily driver and it works great.

I guess it is already unusable on the sole ground that is hasn't June security patches.
Does 20170506 mean 2017-June-5 or 2017-May-6?

If you go by that criteria, then probably 99% of all Android devices are unusable...
What you probably mean is that it is not the best case scenario. But there's a huge difference between not the best and unusable. And having just the May security updates, although not absolutely great, is still pretty good.
Sure I'd love if the dev kept releasing updates, but i think my device is pretty safe for the time being.

go for Epic, you wont disappointed

Thanks for all the replies. I am really torn between them now. The Miui EU stable offers a lot, but it's still bloated like anything and will prob run very heavy like the current one I'm running.
If I opt for something else no OTA and some features will be broken.
Hmmm

WTF? does it even make sense the thing you're saying? "If I opt for something else no OTA and some features will be broken"?! Just try something yourself, watch reviews of the ROMs that exist for our device and choose yourself the one that you think that attracts you the most

High accuracy gps still drain battery faster than on Razziell mokee rom. Also Razziell rom more updated since jacoghi shift development to nougat.

Yeah so what Im saying, is it worthwhile using something that maybe I sacrifice the OTA but the rest is absolutely amazing, or stick with something a bit heavier but it has the OTA ie. MIUI EU Stable.
I use my phone for work so I cant really be messing around with something that isnt pretty stable and reliable you know.

Personally I have never ever used OTA, and can't really understand the requirement of a ROM to have it.
There are a lot of stable ROMs out there. Mokee, Lineage OS 13, and I'm currently using AOKP with no issues.
If you want something more like stock try Epic ROM.
Else just use MIUI EU Stable.

I tried a few roms. Epic seems steady for work n battery.
Think it's about half the weight of global about 900 mb approx.
I get nearly 4 days if phone was in ideal.
17.5 hrs sot strong WiFi, screen 20% no sim..

Are you able to use fastboot? If not then you bricked your device, either deep flash cable or test point could bring back your device. Never trust someone to flash rom to your device before you do research on the rom, kenzo and markw is different device and have different SOC.
It only make sense if you try to flash mido (Redmi Note 4) rom since they have same SOC, but don't try this. Only flash rom that are build for markw.

Should I install 7.12.19 update?

Just got Mi A1 today and it says an update is available. I thought it was the Oreo update they announced a few days earlier but it's not. They call it "Transition version for Android O".
Reading here and on Xiaomi forums I found out that both this update and Oreo have a lot of problems so now I don't know what to do? Install this update or wait for a stable 8.0 version?

I didn't have any problems with the update you mention.
I'm also not having any problems with Oreo.
You won't be getting the update to Oreo that everyone else updated to, it's been pulled so you would end up with this December update, then would have to wait for the next Oreo update.

yes oreo is not stable.

I don't understand why 1GB update is needed to go from Android 7.1.2 to 7.1.2 again with just this changelog:
1. D2Acontinuous annoying sharp Sound problem in A1
2. D2A is transferred to 112 when the local emergency number is called in the Czech Republic
3. Transition version for Android O

The current 8.0 stable version is absolutely fine for me. Till now did not faced any issues. After update i did a factory reset.... Works fine. For me 100% better than Nougat

Same here. No issues at all apart from the well known Bluetooth battery statistics issue. I didn't do factory reset after the upgrade.

No issues with Oreo, works as good as Nougat did!
Only a minor cosmetic issue with battery stats.

We do have some problems after the update to Oreo, like Mi remote not working in India
Swiping the fingerprint sensor for getting status bar is not working etc

Yes, you should absolutely install 7.12.19 as it is a security update. This is still Android Nougat (version 7).
The update is stable on my phone and actually improved some performance aspects (e.g. the time lag of the fingerprint reader is gone).
For Android Oreo (version 8) you should absolutely wait another month or two.

<Mod Edit>
Thread closed.

Any final version release date announce?

Since Oreo official release is somewhat obscure, need some enlightment before flashing this :
1. Kindly confirm I will not lose any data
2. It's WW/Global version
3. In case the official ROM becomes available, can we use the same recovery method to flash it.

All those who are eager to try out this rom but are skeptic as how will it work ,and the the bugs.
To them i will say that go ahead and flash this rom & u will never regret.
No whatsapp bug encountered,its fixed.
The rom is perfect without any bug, no lags infact it is quite stable as an official rom.
and yess the battery backup is better than any of the roms i ever installed on this device,let it be marshmallow or noghat. i usually on my usage would get around 5 hrs sot on noughat, but on this i am glad to inform that i get aroung 6 hrs of sot.
this rom doesnt seem to be a beta.........it is perfect to release officially.
Go ahead and try out the rom guys, and you will thank me the for the advice.

Just installed, seems to be ok for now
Thanks

1) On this new update, please backup all of your data because you will lose it.
2) It's WW version (CN,TW, JP will NOT WORK)
3) I will suggest you to downgrade your phone to Nougat (WW 14.2020.1712.85) and upgrade to Official Oreo ROM by ASUS; if available)

1) The battery backup isn't great on this Oreo ROM (because it overheats our devices). Marshmallow is way way better in terms of battery life. Nougat ROM is pure sh*t.
2) This ROM contains bugs (for example OIS stabilization, overheating, 2nd row of status bar touch problem (hit or miss), APK installation problem from Telegram etc. So it's partially stable I would say.

Has anyone else realised that battery lasts longer with data saver on

I did not lose data when updating... Even my chrome tabs are there

Well thats wierd because i didnt encountered any of the above problems you have listed.
my phone doesnt gets heated even on heavy usage. battery backup is great (3 cycles with 6 hrs sot each)
no apk installation error i got, even ive installed telegram.
only one bug i encountered was while using twin app feature for whtsapp, the twin whatsapp profile pic was not able to upload, but thats nothing.
i love the fluidity of the rom.

The lock screen clock is the worst looking clock I have ever seen on Android. Is there a way to change it?

And when İ downloaded an app it uses phone contact, contacts are being deleted.. İ cant understand this..
2. Rom update menu is not working. Always it says Check the connection Try again later
3. Android 9 has 3 options about lock screen. When you get a message, you cant see the notıfication or see the notification but cant read text and you can see notification and text. But in my menu, I can see 2 options. And I cant get the notifications without text.
4. When the charge finish, it says full but I still see the symbol like it is still charging

Yes İ have J5 2015 - j500f
İ have parts on my sdcard. But the other roms didnt see these parts. And İ formated card and particioned again but couldnt send data to sd card ex4 after that..
So İ removed that roms. İ only can use Ex4 for sending some app data with this Pie rom. İt works only this rom for me.
İ hope i can tell what İ want to tell in Eng.

Is Deadboot still exist on Latest Update ?

Hi all m3 users,
Planning to Take POCO m3 6gb variant as a primary device . But read many post about the dead boot issue after update .
So is it happening to all ? What if i did not update any other 12.0 versions from stock version and wait till 12.5 stable to get released.
Only cons about m3 i understand was Stock Camera and was planning to put Gcam. Other than that phone has VFM factor for 12k. [Currently using redmi3s prime] .. Planning to keep it for a long term and not for gaming office use .
So cant tolerate the reboot or dead issue even for a day ..
Thank You

If I'm not mistaken, the deadboots are caused by hardware issue - something related to a chip inside . I don't think updates directly cause deadboots; they are probably just coincidence. (I'm not an expert on this, so don't take my word for it.)
Personally, I've had my M3 for almost 3 months, flashed roms many times and no deadboot. That said, flashing roms does come with risks which we accept if we choose to customize our phones.
About waiting for 12.5 stable. You definitely can do this for custom roms. For official roms, I don't know if they allow skipping versions, or if they require incremental updates. You'll just have to try when 12.5 comes out.

About waiting for 12.5 stable. You definitely can do this for custom roms. For official roms, I don't know if they allow skipping versions, or if they require incremental updates. You'll just have to try when 12.5 comes out.

Thank you. Also read its a h/w thing..bt.most cases issue comes after udpate and poco said its was due to memory related code in firmware udpate which is pushed along with os udpate.
Ya i know till 12.0.9 its incremental updated.
Thought 12.5 is a major update on A11. So it will be completely new..

Ah, I wasn't aware of Poco announcement about the memory issue.
My phone came with OS version 12.0.8.0 (QJFMIXM), then I updated to 12.0.9 using the official updater. I never got the deadboot problem. So either the problem was with previous versions, or I was just lucky.

No, I'm from Philippines.
No major connectivity issues for me, but I noticed wifi reception was slightly weaker than my previous phones.
You might want to try the telegram group. Most issues and fixes are there.
