I am just wondering how many people like the actual STOCK rom and cyanogen based ROM
So I am making a poll to see which one get's more vote
P.S this is not related to someone's specific ROM..
As we all know, some people like to keep STOCK as it is and some like modifications and customizations.
Stock means pure stock experience with root (OBviously) and Some like CyanogenMod ROM or based on it.
This is a poll to know what most users like.
Stock in this case means a very stable bug-free ROM with some nice features, like Moto Display. The little bloatware is gone after root. And you cans still get the customizations you want through custom kernels, Layers and/or Xposed !
hello guys. i founded this thread for custom roms; as u see is having some custom roms for this model phone. i couldnt try to see if thats work bcs i dont have the phone yet. so, if u want to flash some of them, try and tell us
In my opinion, these custom roms have to be refined, for example optimizations should be improved and a touch driver should be better. But how is it even good.
AOSP extended is a good rom!
various ROMs

Hello guys, I would like to know from you if its worth it to flash a customrom on my mia1. I've been using it since one year now , and i have keept it stock, just the camera2api for gc.
And over all i've been happy with it.
And have 0 experience with A/B partition phones ,my previews phone was nexus 6.
Is it easy to flash twrp and than a custom rom ?
Any suggestions would be apreciated :victory:
Depends what extra feature you seek.
I use stock happily with xposed
I'll probably use a custom ROM once Xiaomi drops update and support for Mi A1.

Thats what i've been thinking too , its not that i need any more features , im used to stock android.
In my opinion, nowadays smartphones already have many cool features and don't really require custom mods, like root or custom roms, however there are still a few but pretty strong reasons why you would like to flash a custom ROM:
- You'll always have the latest Android OS and security patches without having to wait like on stock ROM
- You'll have a wide range of customization possibilities so you can set your Mi A1 just on the style you want
- You'll also have the possibility of using custom Kernels which can give you better performance, specially in gaming or if you're more of a battery guy, they'll focus more into battery, depending on what you're looking for
- You'll be able to root your device which also opens many possibilities (mainly using root apps) but it's also pretty useful specially with that magisk modules thing which allow you to install things like the stock Mi A1 camera on custom ROMs, apps like Viper4Android (which is an equalizer with premium sound quality), etc.
Last but not least, keep in mind that the stock ROM already is very smooth and has a great battery life, so don't expect custom ROMs to be better than that, from my experience I can tell that custom ROMs are pretty close or equal, but I haven't found a ROM that gives better battery life than stock (maybe there are some or maybe it just needs some kernel tweaking, however I'm not really into kernel tweaking lol)
My advice: If you're looking for latest updates or customization, go ahead and flash a custom ROM, every other thing can be done on stock, keep in mind that the stock ROM can also be rooted or flashed with a custom kernel
I'm actually using NitrogenOS with Moun kernel and I couldn't be more satisfied, ROM feels stable, smooth and has a fairly decent amount of customization along with latest Android 9.0 and latest security patches without having to wait for them like on stock ROM.
Aaaaand also keep in mind that if after trying custom ROMs you don't like them, you can always come back to stock, like if you've never flashed a custom OS, so I would try it out, if you want I can guide you through the whole process on telegram
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer:
Xiaomi seem to not be that good with speed & quality of updates. I haven't experienced many bugs myself but just the fact how slow updates are compared to custom ROMs and the fact that Magisk doesn't work properly on Stock made me just forget about it and flash a Custom ROM.
The question has to be asked.... What do you want you don't already have?
If a custom rom offers a feature you need then yes do it otherwise I have to ask why would you want to?

I guess rooting would be enough then. You can change both with magisk (or build prop settings afaik).
I liked LOS to try out something new but came back to stock. Now I am thinking of rooting again for bt volume.
Another great reason is camera2 for google camera. Way better than stock IMO
Better flash custom roms after xiaomi drops the updates. Like after a year Pie updates.

Don't be afraid of A/B Partition, CosmicDan TWRP very easy to use
I am considering to root my phone and flash custom ROM which has gaming mode, good camera app? Any inputs about these two basic requirements.. about which ROM should I flash.. I went through XDA but could find many of the roms which are updated regularly.. so bit confused about where to start from because i usually have no time to jump from one rom to another..I would like the ROM which is stable for daily use..

I assume when you say Gaming Mode you mean the one similar to OxygenOS? Then I'm sorry but no ROM has that. Some have a Gaming Mode (Havoc , Syberia) but that's not OnePlus's Gaming Mode. It's a fairly simple one that just blocks Heads Up Notification. Same goes for Navigation Gestures.
Now the second point regarding Camera. Many ROMs have Stock OOS Camera built in. Others have Gcam and some have LineageOS / Snap Camera. You can install OnePlus Camera on all ROMs as well as Gcam. However their are issues such as broken 4K/60 FPS Recording, in some cases Broken Portrait Mode, etc. As far as Camera goes your best bet is to use Gcam. Or OOS Camera if you can live with a Few Bugs.
Now when it comes to recommendation, try any one you want. All of them are similar to each other in essence. Some have some more Customization than others. All are stable. If you want a good one, try OmniROM TreskMod. It's not available on XDA. Google it. The reason why I say this is :
It has Gapps Built-in. Makes flashing waaay easier. Also has Delta OTA Support so you don't have to download full ZIP Each time. Has Pixel look and feel and has some Customization. Good Luck.

Edit*
It's the first time since I own Android phones that I don't flash a custom ROM.... If it's just to recreate the same features than oos why bothering flashing?
And most of all 'features' present in custom roms are unneeded and unused by 80% of people.
Apart from that most of remaining active roms seem good to use... It's up to you to try.

I would suggest you keep your stock ROM and flash a magisk rom on top of it, like xXX No Limits or RenovateICE. They work as mods, introducing some extra features.
I've explored ROMs and haven't found enough of a reason to keep one. I'm running rooted OOS. I've used Havoc, aosip, pixel experience, and in the end, they have bugs that are actively being worked out through weekly releases and I find myself having to restore back to OOS. I use Gcam on OOS after flashing the framework with Magisk. There's plenty you can do with the OOS and with Android Q coming, there will be a whole other bug repair sequence going on again, including adapting the custom roms to mimic or outdo the newest OOS with Q.
I root/mod (or flash an alternate firmware) on all my old phones and pads, but I don't normally do this to my phone (daily driver), and have always chosen phones with fairly basic android as standard (Like Motorola).
The Xiaomi 9t that I have now is the first MIUI based phone that I've had. It's great but MIUI is just OK... I use NOVA launcher and I disabled all the apps that I don't use via ADB.
It's worked well and the phone is still fast and is frankly the best phone I've had (obviously any newer phone is better than the last generation).
But after successive updates the disabled apps have slowly creeped back in and I just can't be bothered to ADB back and work out which apps to disable again (I remember disabling certain ones causes bootloops).
I just want to backup the phone, unlock the bootloader and flash a new (debloated) ROM.
I don't care what ROM it is, so long as it fulfills my needs... I have looked through the various ROMS available over the last few days and am just not sure which one is best suited...
If I had to make a choice of the various ROMS I would probably choose Lineage, however I think it needs Magisk and various modules to pass the safety checks.
In case I have missed a ROM or not fully read through all the various ROM threads properly... I'm asking for a recommendation... .
What I need is (in order of preference).
Stability - I want maximum stability with all features working.
Updated - Something with frequent security updates.
UnRooted (to pass SafetyNet) - I don't need Magisk and want use apps that require security).
Battery Life.
Debloated - I don't need mods or tweaks or extra apps over stock Android, unless they increase performance/stability.
Stock Android ( I guess I don't mind MIUI if it is fully debloated).
I really don't care about themes, UI mods/tweaks, sound enhancements, quick launchers, or any app other than the stock ones.
Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I am using Lineage and i m so happy. With Miui i had some errors but With this room 0 problems. With Miui i had 5 hours of battery and With lineage 8.
U have staibility, a rom update and a very good experience.

Thanks I'll give it a try...
I might look at ArrowOS as well...
