I used the stock rom for my device and decided to try some custom rom for a Le 2, it really does an incredible job for the developers but we are full of different versions and all with the same Bugs, especially the camera never works well. Hopefully you could focus the work on one and get a good rom and not new projects every day that are generally good but have errors that in some moments of daily use make us want to return to something stable and work perfectly.
It is not for less to value the work, it is only a point of view.
I personally consider that the best work is on the side of Pixel Xperience but it is only my personal opinion, even though the camera does not work very well, the fingerprint reader usually fails in some apps among other things.

The latest release of PixelExperience fixes a lot of the issues it had, give it another shot, you'll love it.

Is the best custom rom. Just doing a good management of applications in the background can give you 5 to 6 hours of screen on each load. before I only had 3h. the night mode crash for moments but work fine
Camera is the deal-breaker
I have tried custom ROMS including codeworkx' lineage 14, lineage 15.1 by rk85, and pixel experience pie but in every single one the camera is damn near unusable. There are many gcam ports that sometimes work but with major issues particularly lags, crashes, inability to record video, and just frequent lack of reliability. Apps like camera fv-5, footej, and open camera are also quite bad even though they are the recommended ones because stock cameras just don't work. Performance is also not good and instability creeps in quickly when you push the phone like by playing games or benchmarking.
The only custom ROMS I can commend are miui and EUI-based ones which are all Marshmallow. Miui heating and battery drain is a serious issue and slim eui has unfixable play store issues. The only custom ROM I can recommend as a daily driver is SmallEUI v3. I hear mokee is also good but doesn't have as good battery life as SmallEUI. Custom ROMS are fine for experiencing new Android version features but I don't see any of them becoming daily driver material.

My 526 has been on MIUI pro 8.9.20 for weeks - longest staying on any rom so far. No problem with overheating or battery drain at all, have not used camera much though.

For the few times you've used the camera, how does it compare with stock camera? Does it record 4K? Slow-mo? Image sharpness and detail? Your average SOT?
Sorry, I don't use this function long enough to compare.
Hi,
I just want to know, according to you what is the best Rom you experience on Redmi Note 7 ? (basing on user experience, number of bugs, features, battery drain, responsivity ...)
It is just a personnal opinion and does not reflect the quality of rom for which the developers do a very good job
Tried Pixel Experience, Bootloggers, and AOSP extended and from those three AoSP is the best so far, best battery life, performance and fewest bugs.
Xiaomi.eu the best imo
Global stock excellent for me

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]?
Regarding Problems with video recording & WhatsApp video call and proximity sensor all those ROMs are the same?
Xiaomi.eu it's been a good ROM, can hit around 8~9 hours of SOT, I've readed sometimes up to 10hours
I wish you separated miui into 1.) stock and 2.) xiaomi eu.
which I can't try yet as I'm still waiting to have my bootloader unlocked.
Conclusion: Don't be a tester for underdeveloped ROM, stay safe and stable with stock ROM.

Are you serious? No one is holding a gun against your head and telling you to install roms. Those people spend hours and hours working so we can have multiple choices (not everyone likes miui) and they dont get a cent for their job. At least someone can do is install rom and give their feedback. These days roms are not making too much difference when it comes to overall performance cause phones have way better hardware and specs. But not so long ago when phones had 512mb of ram and you get them with fully bloated stock roms the only way of having a normal phone was to root and install a custom rom. So no need to trash talk if you dont like it dont use it. I personally havent tried single rom so far (tho i got my note 7 few weeks ago). I settled for xiaomi eu cause its stable with everything working and i dont have time to flash roms at the moment. But i will always be fan of pure android and OP if you like pure android and a bit smoother experience go for custom roms also battery will sure be better there. I heard evira kernel is good also you could try pixel experience (less customization) , aex or havoc for more customization.

Now AOSP is not really good as you expect. Its smooth but battery is not really better than stock and not all feature is working some hiccup occurs in 3rd party apps

Learn the difference between trash talk and stating facts.
You don't even use custom ROM.
Sure, I also want everybody else to use custom ROMs so they get developed more quickly?
I am surprised that lineageOs has not more vote on this topic. It was a very popular Rom on other devices but I think there is other good competitors on RN7. I will have a look on AospExtended some day as it seems very adopted.
I previously switched to custom rom 'cause I had some issues with MIUI. I don't know if it is always the case but MIUI work smooth with default launcher but when using alternative laucher (for example Nova), I had issues with notifications counter. It seems that MIUI kill apps severly in order to have a good battery life. For me, notification badges was killed also fitness app like Samsung Health or google fit. It was not the case with Mi Fit.
Even if I set the correct property in the app control, it seems that xiaomi apps always have always been managed better like if they have some heigher privilege.
I'm very happy in Stock Global MIUI 10 stable.
Rooted.
Evira Kernel.
FDE.AI Magisk Module.
Underclocked.
Debloated.
Happy about it.
I enjoy visual appearance very much and MIUI is just beautiful to my eyes.
To me:
- Xiaomi.eu is the best if you can't live without the MIUI stuff. It has almost all the best MIUI can offer, removes most privacy issues from stock, and adds more useful features.
- For custom ROMs:
+ I love AOSPExtended since it has just enough customizations to play with. I have it on my RN7 (lavender) and RN4X (mido) and it works perfectly on both. I love the way my 2 phones look and work almost the same.
+ ResurrectionRemix has a crazy amount of customization options. I used to have it on my RN4X. I've never had it on my RN7 but it's a very popular ROM out there.
+ LineageOS is great if you enjoy minimalism. I have it on my ancient phones to keep them light and clean.
You can try different ROMs to see which one fits your needs or you can stay on stock MIUI. You have the choice. Just pay respect to developers as they devote their time and effort to create and improve ROMs.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Syberia.. Just because its battery life.
Agreed to the person before me, always respect the DEV.. Nowdays people tend to ask too much and have lil patience.
So far am going with miui eu global official.Have tried global worldwide official and chinese official and find the eu global the best.Also tried the eu custom rom revolution x aosp extended bootleggers havoc and pixel experience and found aosp extended to be least buggy for me.When it comes to sound and camera especially adding gcam the official miui eu is better but try the roms for yourself and decide.
Is there any noticeable difference between global version number and eu version number?? Or the 10.6.0 and 10.3.3 are the same thing with small differences??

The eu 10.3.3 is a custom rom based on the chinese rom with all the chinese apps debloated.I found it a bit buggy with apps like what's app.You also have the eeu global 10.5.0 which I find the best after trying worldwide global chinese miui and eu custom rom.Eeu global has less adds and is more debloated than worldwide global.Best to try them and decide which suits.
after trying many roms, stock eu is best...some apps not work on custom roms, so stock with evira pure 1.4 kernel is best ?

I'm a bit lost... what the difference between THIS and THIS ?? stable Vs weekly ?? one is for daily use, the second for "tests" builds ?
And what is the EEU version you're talking about ?? i just see the EU version... error typing maybe ?
the official MIUI 11 I'm using now, and too many trash system apps running in background makes the game I'm playing keep choppy and frozen (or lag?).
the main purpose of this phone for me is playing multiplayer games, so compared to functionally powerful, Light and Smooth is more what I care.
which ROM (and version) is most suitable for this usage? Thanks.

thanks for your kind advice, but seems miui eu is based on china official builds? and miui official build 11.0.1 Android 10 is already withdrawed by official because of too many bugs (source: read on china xiaomi forum). also those negative feedbacks about 11.0.1 Android 10 on miui eu forum...still thanks.
Tested a ton of ROMs (mostly from xiaomi.eu) and I keep going back to MIUI 11.2, version 20.1.21 BETA. Works way better than the "stable" ones, is smooth as fk, crisp menus no lag etc.
I went from xiaomi.eu (a10/miui12) to "pixel plus ui" rom and I don't regret it. I've got more storage available, way better battery backup without the stupid miui battery manager which limits apps by default (10h SoT and 2 days without charge), UI is smooth and so far I haven't found any bugs.
Normally, I don't like to flash custom roms because in time i've learned that they all have their flaws. But coming from an androidOne phone, I just can't stand MIUI anymore. It got HUGE with tons of customizations/features I don't need nor want. Flashing a custom rom got me an extra 10gb+! of free storage. That's why I tested a couple of roms and I'm sticking with "pixel plus ui".

You mean OFFICIAL MIUI 11.2, version 20.1.21 BETA? how did you deal with those trash system apks? some of which i heard cannot be removed or bootlooping happens. how did you deal with those ads?
Well, I've been buying Xiaomi smartphones for many years and they have never failed me, but for about a month now my cell phone has been working badly, many times it gets stuck for several seconds, what bothers me the most and what had never happened before are the micro-lag (not a problem with the Internet) playing games that used to be a luxury for me, right now opening the notifications or the control center is an odyssey.
I am desperate and I do not know what to do, is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 3GB RAM, I bought the smartphone less than 2 years ago.
I have the version MIUI GLOBAL 12.0.2.0 (QFGEUXM). I have to say that before this version the smartphone already worked badly for me.
The smartphone is recently wiped.
Any suggestion?
Tbh i went away from MIUI because of this issue, i tried Xiaomi.eu roms and they seem to solve the lag and stuttering for the most part, but Miui based roms don't come cloes to how snappy AOSP ones are, i'm on Pixel Experience+ ( which is not even the fastest rom out there ) and there is a noticable performance gap between it and Miui.

Thanks for the answer, could you tell me some ROMs that are good for this smartphone?
thanks!
I would like to bring Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime 32/3 to life. It's still on stock MIUI 7 (V7.5.9.0.) Why? Because that ROM was really good and there was no need for update because everything was working OK. But now more and more apps requires a newer version of Android, so I need custom rom.
Anything stable from Android 8 and above will be OK.
I thought try with PixelExperience, but unfortunately they have just 11 version, no archive for older versions. At least I couldn't find it. So if that version is no good, can't try older one.
But I see there is PixelReloaded with 9 and 10 version still available.
Then there is ArrowOS, it's great thing that they still have all versions available for download, 9, 10 and 11.
I saw thread from @Atam2001 his experience with ROMs. Where he mentioned Nitrogen-OS-10 was great for him, and Superior OS was suggests as well as good ROM.
I do not looking nothing fancy, just something that is fluid and reliable.
Which rom and version you were very happy?
In case of 3GB variant you can go with FLOS 18.1 or Havoc 4.x or AEX A11 by Sairam. In my 2GB variant A11 unlike A10 is just too memory hungry for a reasonable multitasking experience. Havoc 3.11 based on A10 was really good. Fluid and bug free. I have been running FLOS 18.1 in land for several months without any issue.
If you need the best multitasking experience Pie ROMs with low RAM mod is the best and reasonably upto date option. In my 2GB device I had almost always 1GB RAM free. However other than Nichcream's LOS 16 build based on 4.9 kernel from late 2019 all the others are based on the stock 3.18 kernel and usually have quite a few bugs. I had tried many Pie ROMs based on 3.18 but was never satisfied until Q ROMs arrived with 4.9 kernel.

@amn1987 Thank you so much for reply
My idea was to start first with the lower android version. Because more people were working on development at the time.
So I tried with SuperiorOS Android 9 (20190824-0147).
The first problem was, system launcher was not working, I always get an error message. So, new launcher fixed the problem.
After two weeks of use everything was fine. Good battery life, wifi/mobile data OK, GPS, banking applications working, google cam OK.
Then sometimes it starts to reset himself. Or I couldn't turn it on. And date and time would be wrong. It doesn’t happen often but it's a sign to try something else.
Thanks for the details I will try something from your suggestion.
Forgot to mention that idle drain was mind bogglingly good in Q ROMs with 4.9 kernel, 0.1-0.15%/h almost always. In R ROMs, idle drain is a little higher at close to 0.3%/h. Does go as low as 0.1%/h but infrequently. 2G only, Sync off, Wifi/GPS off, BT on always but not paired constantly. Using NikGApps which has GMS Doze enabled.
To report back...
After SuperiorOS Android 9, I tried Havoc 3.11 based on Android 10. And it's much better. There is no random restarting, or problem with date/time like I had on SuperiorOS. Here everything working great! And all bank apps working with no problem, even there is no message that you using custom rom. Sairam did amazing job. There is a lot useful features, like app lock, double tap and so on...
After use MIUI based on Android 6, this is like a new phone.
Happy with HavocOS
Recently a new build of LOS 16 with 4.9 kernel was released by the dev "Cafebabe" on TG who nowadays seems to spearhead the development for land albeit most builds are seemingly unified builds also targeting riva, santoni etc. For my 2GB variant it could be the best option although Havoc 3.11 was very good as well.
I am honestly disappointed with how the battery works on custom roms.
I use camera recording (like a car video recorder) and on MIUI (stock) I can record 4 hours with minutes because that's what the battery allows.
But on most current custom roms, I don't even hit 3h, 2.5h on average. In addition, you can see the battery % drops faster and at 40% it can turn off as if it were 0%. And after a few minutes, it can be turned on and there is 20% or more of the battery. And I thought the battery was ending its life. But I flash the stock rom and it works like hassle ...

Have you tried Q/R ROMs based on 4.9 kernel? In particular the ones by Sairam like Fork LOS, Havoc etc. While I haven't tested video recording but otherwise battery backup is excellent. Just about a month ago 10+ hours during offline video playback. Battery goes down to low single-digits w/o any issue. BTW you could enable bypass charging to take the stress off of the battery and prolong it's longevity.
You know, the most important thing here is the use that uses a lot of batteries.
And here only the MIUI custom roms (miuiEU, Android 7.1.2, Android 9, although the battery in 9 also lose a little faster) are comparable.
A long time ago - nichcream roms somehow worked fine with the battery.
Anyway, I thought most of the new ones were good until I started using the camera intensively.
I have used his custom roms and others too, and I don't know what's wrong...
Everywhere the battery is melting (when i use the camera) in the eyes except the MIUI based roms.
Well video recording is pretty resource intensive. No wonder it drains the battery. I might check it out if a relatively cooler day is in the offing.
