Hello,
I want to install a custom rom on my G6 device. Which one is the best in your eyes? Could you also list the bugs, which you know please.
I've read several threads. They have too much pages and I think there is no custom rom with no bugs...?
Thanks for your help.

Currently using Resurrection Remix (though not the latest one) for the last 3 months.
Everything is fine except for these "bugs":
Microphone is s**t quality in calls.
Sometimes the device will freeze for a second or three after being unlocked.
5GHz hotspot is not working.
Otherwise, it's pretty good.
What about safety issues on custom roms?
Don't you have any fears that some backdoors are being added?
thx!
Most custom roms are opensource. Just look at the code yourself. If you want to be even more on the safe side, compile it yourself.

I recommend AOSPExtended, or Resurrection Remix (if you have h870) if you don't need voLTE, I'm stuck with Verizon and need voLTE in order to send/receive texts and calls, there is currently no way to get voLTE in AOSP roms (AFAIK), so I'm stuck with stock based ROMs, ended up just staying stock and waiting for voLTE fix & RR for US997 varient, as for NO bugs, doubt it, all custom ROMs have some issue (even if they are basically unnoticeable), I have yet to find one that has voLTE working on Oreo.

Hi there, I have noticed that the A5 and A7 variants have gotten quite a bit of development in terms of custom ROMs. Also, both seem to be going to get the Marshmallow update. I would like to ask if anyone can get me up to speed in terms of the development on this phone? Thanks in advance.
There doesn't seem to be anyone interested in developing ROMs for this phone. Unfortunately, I posses no knowledge of making ROMs, otherwise, I would certainly made attempts by now.
I am willing to help as much as I can if anyone wants to develop any ROM for the device.
Custom ROMs should still be developed even if our device doesn't get Marshmallow. 5.0.2 AOSP is great and much better than touchwiz. If ROMs can be made for A5, I don't see why should there be problems with A3?
Maybe we can start off by porting an A5 aosp ROM into A3.
A3 is getting 6.0" but some custom roms would be nice support seems scares shame really . Anyone no if cf-auto root works 5.0.2 yet all seem to point 4.4.4

If you want to make an A3 build, you can use A5 Device Tree but you will need to adapt it, screen resolution, RAM, kernel, and blobs are different than A5's ones.
Maybe I can build CM or AOSP for A3, but I don't have the device and testers for it.
If you need proprietary files for A3 tell me, thanks!

Or if you can explain to me how to build from source I can try myself, I have BuilduntuVM installed on my VirtualBox, so it's ready to compile.

A7 isn't getting a custom ROM also. (SS-A700F that is) There is no Device tree. Otherwise i'd build something. But A3 is not alone on this unfortunately.

Yeah there is.Just go to CF auto root and find your mobile.
I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Cool thanks, I will look up the rom. I thought about Android 6 or 7, but see those still have some major issues here and there.

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver
So, i wanted to use a custom rom cuz i just love to stay close to stock android, but everytime i flash a new nougat rom on my phone, i got the same weird bug. The WiFi dropping.
BTW my phone is model 2014819.
From time to time, the wifi just loses signal and comes back after, idk, 15 to 20 seconds. This is really annoying because this causes drops in VoIP calls and WhatsApp Web keeps losing connection with the phone everytime.
I don't know why this happens on custom rom and not on stock rom. But on the other hand, on stock MIUI, when i actually loses wifi signal, like, outside my house, it wont connect to a 3G/4G connection by itself, i have to enter airplane mode and turn it off so it can connect to 3G/4G (which is annoying as well).
So there is my question, is it only with my phone? Does this have a solution?
BTW, everytime i install a new custom rom i do a full wipe before (system, data, davik and cache) and right now i'm using Pure Nexus by Rahif M, just in case you are wondering.
its an old bug .... none of our developers are able to fix it.. they are trying hard but there is no fix yet....
Oh god, didn't know about this.
Thanks for the info! Hope they can make a fix for it someday
try mi flastool so that everything will be become new in your phone. use the first released stock rom dont use the new one. just try ths method.
Yeah, this is also happening in Mi3/Mi4 custom nougat roms especially CAF based rom. This issue is not happening in Lineage based roms and Citrus caf. I have tried couple of Lineage based nougat roms in my mi4 but i haven't encounter this wifi bug in these roms.
If possible is there a temporary fix???
I guess something is wrong with our baseband. If anyone could provide Chinese ROM baseband or any different versions of basebands output might defer
Is there fix for this? Someone???

Even i have this rare bug... I first discovered it in nougat custom roms but now its following me to all oreo custom roms aswell. Im using a oneplus 3T and i havent found anyone report this bug on this device yet. Have you fixed this bug by any chance? Im so sad because i did a full wipe including the unbrick tool and still no luck with the wifi drop bug. One thing i have noticed is the frequency of the drops has minimized to a great extent. Before on nougat it was dropping once every 5 min but now on oreo 8.1 its like once every 30 mins. I just hope you found something i still have to use my 3t for a few more years.

This bug was finally fixed in Pie roms i have no idea how but im glad...
I had this bug on RR Oreo 8.1 and now Omni Rom Pie... Huawei RNE-L22.
Hello everyone, i am new to the scene of the Mi A1, i bought the phone about 1 month ago and have been observing the forums, but i would like to ask some questions the community as i have not yet managed to find clear answers to the forums if someone can help me
1. If i root the phone is there a way to revert back to complete stock and get OTA's again?
2. In custom roms, can i get the stock camera working 100%?
3. Is there any custom rom that you recommend in terms of stability and battery life?
4. Are there any drawbacks to the custom rom scene?
5. Do you recommend the stock rom with a custom kernel or a custom rom altogether?
Thank you in advance for your answers, i hope that this thread might be useful to gather some questions altogether for anyone that might have wondered the same stuff as me
Hello,
1. There is a way to update OTA with magisk, but you will need you use magisk just as systemless, without touching system stuff. Alternative you can have root and just unroot everytime you want to update the ROM or you can manually flash the update... You can try this guide... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
2. Stock camera works in custom ROMs, someone did a port somewhere in this forums... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/oreo-mia1-stock-rom-camera-app-custom-t3758543
3 and 4. Most of the custom ROMs are based on the same sources, LineageOS was one of the first "stable" ROMs so most of the ROMs are based on it, inheriting all of its bugs (haven't found a critical bug). I've tested a few ROMs and the mosts I liked in terms of battery life and stability are... LineageOS and Pixel Experience, you will need to test them out for yourself.
5. If you want to experience a more "stable" feeling stick to Xiaomi development, the latest stable version is 8.0 (with rumors of 8.1 coming soon). If you want latest Android updates and features go for a 8.1 custom ROM.
In my experience you will need to try all this things on your own, until you find a place where you feel comfortable with your phone. Just read guides on how to recover your phone from a bootloop and you are good to go!
I will answer only question number 4 because the guy above me said everything, by the way I prefer RR.
The drawbacks I found on custom roms are 2 for me...
1) Poor signal reception compared to stock
2) Sound quality is much better in stock compared to custom... (my opinion)
I am itching to root the device but to be honest the only thing i want is android 8.1 and a better battery, other than that i am pretty much satisfied with what i have. (and this is coming from someone that changed rom every other week on previous phones) Thank you for your replies, they were informative and greatly appreciated! I just hope Xiaomi updates the phone soon because it feels kinda outdated for an android one device

Hi, anyone knows if there is any rom with Mirror link working?
Mirror link is not screen Mirror to the TV. It is the connection to the car MP5 with the USB and you can manage your phone with the car touch screen.
If It doesn't work now but anyone knows if nearly It will be implemented in any rom please say me in which one.
Thanks and regards.
I'm looking into this as well, I've been wanting to install a custom rom such as @Ivan_Meler LOS Rom, but it has pushed my phone to a "Phone is not compatible" reading on the headunit.
Little back story:
I have a Samsung Gal. S7 and a Honda Civic 2015 and I've been able to do Mirrorlink when it was working on a completely stock rom. Only problem was I was trying to mirrorlink the full phone screen and not have to use the Samsung Car mode, Rockscout, etc. I've tried every trick in the book even one which required the phone to be rooted. (AAUnlock and AAMirror) I used SuperSU, whick I should now look into trying Magisk, and see if that makes any difference.
What I've noticed is that once the phone is rooted, even on a stock rom, the Head Unit in my car switches to "Phone is not compatible". Again, I rooted it with SuperSU. I've been able to locate a S7 Stock Rom which I'll go back to and see if I can get that working again. Once that's established, I'll try with Magisk, and see if there's any difference.
So far with every rom I've tried including LOS (most Roms are based from LOS), the phone hasnt worked in mirrorlink. I'm hoping that @Ivan_Meler makes an update that allows it, as it seems his is the only ROM that gets updated on a frequent basis. I'm hoping that this (along with other issues) gets resolved on the Rom and this can become my daily driver.
Hello
Did you manage to make work your S7 mirrorlink with a rooted rom ?
Thanks

If you want to use these old roms, make sure you change the thermals. I highly recommend Jabashque 6, the links are on my thermals thread.
As good as that version of Omni is, Darkobas himself said that longterm use will kill dramatically hurt longterm battery life.
You could use the compatible Blackscreen with the Jabashque thermals and your experience will be perfect.
BY the way, Oreo and Pie Roms are awesome. If you try Pie tryout Lineage 16 its awesome!
Thanks
i want at least oreo, i tried Omni but Mirrorscreen does not work
