Hello folks.
I was tracking down a mobile data problem I was having...as part of the troubleshooting, I was installing a bunch of different ROMs (LOS nougat, RR nougat, RR oreo). I found the solution to my problem after installing RR oreo, but the ROM itself was not the solution; it was a configuration problem.
Anyway, I'd just as soon not reinstall again, so my question: is RR oreo stable enough for everyday use? Or should I go back to nougat before I configure all the apps on my phone?
Thanks.
Both of are as good as it can be.
it depend on personal choice.
Both are good, some people have a few bugs with rotation on oreo I think.
No issues on my end worth mentioning.
However the battery drain is there on all oreo roms, more than nougat. On my old stock battery i get 4-5 hours SoT, and it seems like that for most people. Depending what you do.
Removing NFC is supposed to help, haven't tried myself.
But for myself, I've tried RR and now trying AEX. Both are fantastic, RR offers a little more customization and wake screen on waving. Crdroid has an oreo rom now too I believe that I haven't tried yet.
Do a clean flash to avoid problems. It also requires latest twrp or you'll likely receive an error on flashing.
I've rooted with magisk and all is well.

Hello,

Hahaha, typical. I just yesterday installed Lineage 14 after running xiaomi.eu Marshmallow roms for my MI Max and today they release they new one...
Would be awsome to hear about how these roms compare?
I do like the integration with your MI account on MIUI roms, otherwise...meh, don't feel like I'm missing out on much.
Sure the interface is a bit nice...
But for me batterylife and smoothness are they main features that I'm looking for.
Id love to hear about your experiences with xiaomi.eu roms compared to the lates ASOP Nougat flavors.

I have not tried the lineage rom. Can i just download the rom and gapps and flash through twrp? The instructions seemed critical so did not try it out. Something like do this if your miui version number changes ?
Today i have downloaded and currently using the latest xiaomi.eu rom. It looks stable but lags a little here and there.

Well, I'm running Mi Max Hydrogen 32 GB / 3gb ram version and did the following to flash the unoffical lineageos 14.1
1. Downloaded the hydrogen rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B60OA264UF_PMjVQN3A5a2g2MDg - lineage-14.1-20170201-UNOFFICIAL-hydrogen.zip
2. Downloaded the following firmware: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B60OA264UF_PRmZpSGZpa2ZxOHc - firmware-HYDROGEN_MDG-7.1.5.zip
3. Downloaded pico opengapps for arm64 soc - http://opengapps.org/
4. Did a full wipe (except user data) i.e. not factory reset but selected in TWRP 3.0.2.0 the partitions I wanted to format.
5. Flashed the Hydrogen Rom in point 1.
6. Flashed Firmware in point 2.
7. Flashed Pico Gapps in point 3
8. Wiped Cache & Rebooted.
Its still working fine, ofcourse I made sure to backup my sms and other stuff I wanted to keep from before....MIUI backups and cloud services aren't really compatible with Lineage
Can't really say anything about the batterylife, it's decent but the phone hasn't received a decent nights charge since yesterday.
A few things that I did was to ad adway and modify youtube so that I get an adfree experience without exposed.
Also I've moved Gsam to privilaged systemapps in order to have good battery tracking.
I also use Greenify as I did with Miui 8 and have Greenyfied Facebook, Instagram and such apps that tend to hang around. Also I've Frozen the Stock Music player since it was waking the phone a lot from deepsleep. Did it with Titanium backup.

Noted. Thanks will flash tonight.
Is it smooth? Any lags? The new xiaomi.eu nougat rom is the same as marshmallow. Nothing new..
What about the lineage rom.. Does it feel like you are using nougat?
can i dirty flash 7.2.9 over the leaked MIUI 8 Android 7.0 version?
will it still lock my bootloader?

Actually miui nougat from xiaomi.eu doesn't lock bootloader on Mi Max. It locks bootloader only on mi4c, mi4s and mi note pro.

Now I've actually tried both RR 5.8.0 and Lineage unofficial 14.1 and in my opinion RR is definitely much smoother.
Flashed it about an hour ago so battery and sot is unknown.
But as for Linage the battery life is on par with what I got on miui, maybe slightly shorter but didn't test it enough to get conclusive results.
Lineage is smooth as well, smoother then miui but nothing that I was super amazed by. I didn't have the small hangups when you switch apps and such so it was good, totally satisfactory.
RR on the other hand is a clear difference in smoothness. Gonna test it a bit more, if battery holds up then I'm sticking with this rom.

Tested the battery this night and rr is dozing quite well.
0.3 - 0.4% discharge per hour and it's really smooth as well
Hello,
It's been almost a little over a year since I was last really into android customization. Since it's been so long it has become clear to me that my phone is outdated in many ways. I'm still running OxygenOS 2.2.1 with Android 5.1.1. I've been wanting to update up to Android N (7.x.x) for a long time now, but haven't seen any real stable roms or haven't really had the time to look for one. Now I've finally found my self with free time and ready upgrade my rom. I've just faced couple of problems, I can't really find what should I do when upgrading from 5.1.1 to 7.x.x since no-one is really doing that anymore. I remember reading sometime back that if you dont have the right firmwares you'll brick ur phone, and I wouldn't really want to go through that hassle at the moment. Is it still a thing or should it be just fine for me to flash a new rom just on top of this? (Ofc with clearing memory etc) Other question that is in my mind is that is there any critical bugs in Android N roms? It's bit unclear to me since there are such many roms that have their status as work in progress or beta etc, but some roms have status as stable. Are there any roms that I should clearly avoid? Im not new to this so I don't really need any deep info how to do everything etc, just a bit of a oversight on how things are going atm.
Thanks.
first of all is ur device rooted?? If yes then install the latest twrp recovery...then take a backup.. and flash any nougat rom which u like...If at all u would need Volte support then u l have to flash the 3.5.7 firmware..or else the 3.1.0 firmware works fine with most of the nougat roms..some nougat roms i would recommend are AICP, Resurrection Remix and AOSP extended .... In my suggestion u should probably first upgrade the Oxygen Os on ur device through official updates via OTA atleast upto the 3.5.6 firmware
there's no need to update until 3.5.6, unless you aren't going to plan staying with OOS [the only "stable" firmware which provides you VoLTE working, but it's still M-based and not N].
as @mhd athiq said, unlock your bootloader [just in case you still haven't done it before] then update your TWRP recovery to the latest version.
then flash the incrementals OTAs until OOS 3.1.x and you are good to go to flash any custom ROM which is N-based.
to avoid any mistake, please make a EFS backup via terminal [just to have a backup of your modems] and save the files to a safe location.
I don't have a specific ROM to suggest to you, but in my experience I have found the CAF/AOSP-based ones to be the ones with the best battery backup and less bugs then LOS-based ones.
I have used happily for a few months CypherOS version 3.5.1 [not the latest one, I find it quite unstable as the developers tried to implement OMS].
sidenote:
flashing N-based custom ROMs upon OOS 3.5.6 firmwares gives random reboots and unstable network in many cases/scenarios.
so don't update to that OOS version unless you have a mandatory VoLTE feature required [but you'll have to live with random reboots and poor network stability].
At the moment I am running the latest version of LinageOS. Installing it was no problem at all, but sometimes when my battery life is 50-40% and less opening some apps will crash for no reason at all. The OS I was running before was Android 6.0 (Before I went to Lineage I tried to root my phone and almost screwed it up so I had to go back to 6.0) and the same thing was happening. As far as I can remember before I tried unlocking bootloader and doing other such things my device wouldn't crash running Android 7.0 but all of a sudden my phone would crash and every crash it would take away quite a bit of battery life which is annoying. So far I haven't found any soloution so I thought I'd try my luck here. Thanks!
did you tried to install stock rom 7.0 ?
My advice for you is to use either Resurrection Remix or invictaOS roms since they are even more customised and opstimised and far better than lineage. I am using Resurrection Remix from last year and i do not experience a single problem. Apps crashing have no relation with your battery. Its Rom related problem.
Could anybody recommend a best stable 64 bit BUG free( like cam not working or no volte) oreo rom
That i can use as a daily driver
Is the resurrection remix bug free and worth it?
Tried them all, and haven't found one yet that doesn't have some little bug or another. Just depends on what you can live with.
Is there any major downside for using a oreo rom now?

Well probably the problems going back to stock (though now you can make a backup of persist, which fixes volte). And also the tiny annoying bugs that come with custom roms (usually camera related, no slow-mo, etc.).
As for the bugs, most of them will be easier to solve when official oreo is released. Vache is waiting for oreo so that he can grab the camera blobs and stuff like that to make a stable treble oreo rom. Until then I'll just stick with stock.
You're better off sticking with stock or custom Nougat Roms. While you can "fix" VOLTE with persist and EFS backups, there are still issues with VOLTE malfunctioning occasionally requiring a restart of your phone to fix until it happens again.
Hi,
It seems A1 will never get the official Q update, also last updates are quite buggy. I've lost my GPS and I'm not alone. I use the phone as my daily driver, so I'm looking for a stable ROM with encryption support as I have some banking apps on my device.
1. Restore the phone and stay with official ROM as long as the security patches arrive.
2. Install LOS 16 or even LOS 17 to get Q. It seems there were many problems with TWRP and the encryption lately, are they solved now?
3. Treble? Any benefit?
Many thanks in advance.
Hello!
You can flash LOS 16,because it is the latest stable LOS version for Mi A1.You can choose to encrypt the phone,and it will take approximately 1hour.
Treble is not such a big deal,is just about partitioning.You can read more about this and make a decision.
LOS16 is the most stable rom in my opinion only one problem slow-mo video camera not working except this LOS16 is best as a daily driver
