Rom with best SOT/least problems until now? - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hey there!
I got my Mi9T on Saturday, unlock procedure should be done on the weekend. What roms are you people using, and which has the best SOT? Not sure what ROM i should be using yet. Not really a fan of MIUI.
Thanks in Advance!

MIUI 11. Deal with it. Whatever you try will have problems, it's upto what you're willing to sacrifice. I've decided to flash only after official support drops else yesterday's MIUI11 update is so good. Also I removed Mi Apps from Xiaomi PC suite ( don't remember exact name)

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.

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

Backing up Mi 9T before updating to MIUI 11

Hi, I was going to update my Mi 9t to new MIUI 11, but I want to make some preparations first, like making a full backup and doing a factory wipe, however I can't find a program for PC to back up my phone, can someone suggest solution? I really liked Huawei PC suit that saved even app data, and was really straightforward to use, but Xiaomi app doesn't work on 9T.
Also, I'm seeing worrying amounts of threads regarding a lot of possible problems after upgrading the phone on MIUI 11, is it worth it upgrading or should I wait for some time before
some patches deal with most of the problems?
I would also like to know how backup EVERYTHING on my mi 9t including widewine drm and modem firmware.
Comming from pixel and oneplus phones i love the battery on this phone but I can't live with miui.
So I want to backup before unlock, root and custom rom. But how?

Is anyone having good experience with MIUI 11? And has anyone downgraded back to 10?

So I was going to try and update to MIUI 11 but saw a lot of complaints of battery drain and more, and I was wondering, is anyone having a good experiance after the update or is this basically on every device? Mine phone is the European version, should install MIUI 11.0.2.0 PFJEUXM. Any reviews for this release?
Also, has anyone downgraded from 11 to 10 with no issues (rooted device with TWRP, not fastboot)? I've had issues when I downgraded from 10.3.12 to 10.3.7. The OS was installed but the device became unusable and I had to install 10.3.12 again
Thanks in advance
I own two MI 9T, one global and one EEU. Both are on MIUI 11 and I don't have any issues whatsoever. On the contrary, notifications now come in as they should. Apparently they fixed that.
Both phones are not modified (i.e. locked bootloader and unrooted). The only thing I did was to debloat it on user level (via ADB).
The battery drain happened just once months ago with MIUI 10. Never happened again... I'm pretty sure it was a rogue app or service.
And downgrading... I don't consider that (wait for unlocking bootloader flash TWRP etc.) and if I look at the forum I sometimes think that there are way to many help requests because of bricked phones

Thank you guys that was really helpful
I'm gonna try the weekly miuimix rom. I was wonder which twrp do you have though? Also, I'm aware that format data is required according to the instructions but just in case, is it possible to dirty flash it, or to restore data from nandroid backup of stock miui 10 after miuimix installation?
Thanks again

Alwayas the latest chinese TWRP
No trouble here (with Android 10 too). Battery drain does fluctuate though - some days I have 80 percent left in the evening, some days it's just 50 percent with no difference in usage. I also had days of heavy usage with 70 percent left shrug

Can you backup and restore on latest Chinese twrp? I currently have Team Win twrp (mauronofrio's) and I can backup but I get "extracttarfork() process ended with error=255" error when restoring. Is it the same on Chinese twrp?
I'm having bad idle time because of battery drain. But without that is really good update. Hope they fix the drain in coming updates.

Custom ROM suggestions, things to know before going from MIUI

Hello Good Evening... Recently there has been a lot of privacy allegations against many of the mobile brands that led me into considering custom ROMs. For the last 6 years, I had been using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which had a factory unlocked bootloader and hence could flash ROMs and even fix bootloops easily. I am a new Xiaomi user and am considering to change to a custom ROM. Here are the list of things I am looking forward to:
1. Details on the procedure for unlocking the bootloader
2. Custom Recovery recommendations
3.. Custom ROM suggestions and how to get out of a bootloop if I get stuck into one as this is my daily Driver'
4. I really loved the battery life that I was getting with MIUI 11, is there any way to get the same while using custom ROMs, any custom kernel suggestions for PE Rom as I am familiar with it on my old Note 3
Thanks a lot for your valuable time
Regards
Sunil
Hey,
In order for you to unlock the bootloader, you will need to download the xiaomi unlock tool from their website. You might need to wait a couple of days after you press the "unlock" button to get your device unlocked but after that you are good to go.
For Custom Recovery, both TWRP and OrangeFox are viable options.
I haven't experienced any bootloops so far (fortunately) so I can't give you any tips about that topic.
About Custom ROMs I've tried Pixel Experience with Android 10 and I liked it. Google Apps are installed with the rom so you don't need to worry about that and the battery life as more or less the same as the one I was getting with Miui 11. Currently I'm using Lineage OS with Android 10 and the software is nice and battery liffe is better than the one on the Pixel Experience. I ran into some issues because of the Google Apps installation. My device must have a issue with the Pixel Setup Wizard but it crashes every time during the setup process. The only google apps package I was able to install with success was the BitGApps.
Hope some of this information was helpful ?
Can someone comment on Havoc 3.6 vs Lineage 17.1 concerning Battery Life? I am on Havoc 3.6 now and I noticed a considerable drainage difference lately. I checked apps and running services. I saw also this today which confused me a bit.

So bro, are there any custom kernels to enhance the battery life? Also will I be able to use banking apps and most importantly McDonald's App as a lot of good deals come online? Thanks again ?

Favourite rom and why?

Hey guys,
I'll soon be getting the Poco F2 Pro and like I've done for previous devices with an active rom development community, just wondering what is your current rom of choice and for what reasons.
This can be a place just to share your experience of the various roms available to us and provide a summary of what you like about it, frequency of updates, battery, features, bugs etc.
Looking forward to hearing back...
oneOS until they didnt having some crazy idea to charge weekly updates 2e,so they stop to developing it because a lot of people didnt like this idea.
xiaomi.eu is also good. I am using it instead of oneOS

Thanks for the reply.
What do you like about it, in comparison to stock rom etc?
Anyone any other suggestions? I see there's over 15 custom roms for this , which is great, though would be keen to hear people's experience with some of them.
I'm currently tempted by Havoc, just because I've enjoyed that rom on previous devices. Just I wish to avoid any bugs and just want a feature-rich stable rom, no background drain or significant things broken...
Xiaomi.eu is a good rom. I am on weekly. Every friday I got updates, also you have stable. On weekly ,you get first the latest updates from china ROM. Battery is also good too. No bugs or any bug problems with this ROM

Nice, stable roms are always a winner.
Have you tried any of the custom roms?
I used to love custom roms in general but then found myself just valuing stable stock much better these days. I do miss some features from custom roms though, but stock does just seem the best in some ways.
Unless someone can suggest a custom feature-packed rom that doesn't sacrifice performance...
Only OneOS that eas the best rom after bootleggers that I have on 8pro
for aosp like custom rom ,i'll choose crdroid ,because its stable enough , lots of customization , up t0 date .
for miui based = xiaomi.eu, im using it now , had to switch to xiaomi.eu from crdroid because of the camera .
and for android 10 will choose evolution rom.

Thanks for the response.
When you say the camera, is that because you missed miui camera and prefer it over gcam? That's my thoughts too.... Will try crdroid on Tues when I can unlock, but I almost sense I'll go to stock miui eu but rooted and debloated

Last stable and weekly EU rom pass safety net and have the playstore certified whitout root.
xiaomi.eu is the best one for me.
Since end of January, the weekly builds are good, they pass safetynet, play store is certified, google pay works, all my bank apps work, even enterprise office365 is fine (without root of course, I haven't found any hack for this with magisk activated).
MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi phone app, no add, various tweaks included, more responsive and better battery life than stock.
A no brainer if you want a MIUI based ROM!
This is now my daily driver for my work phone!

Does call recording work too?
Is dual sim active with a 5G sim?
Xiaomi.eu automatically updates itself via OTA when there are new builds?
Then I unlock the bootloader, install the TWRP, install the weekly xiaomi.eu and all the banking apps, playstore, etc. do they work or do I have to do something else?
Thank you.

I'm on Xiaomi.eu too and I can confirm that call recording works well because of Xiaomi dialer in this ROM, there is even an option for automatic recording.
As for the 5G and dual sim - from what I know this is technically unpossible. There probably are no phones at the moment which support dual sim with 5G.

As for the dual sim with 5G, I mean one sim in 5G and one in 4G. If you read in the instruction manual it says that they would have activated this function with an update ...

Do you have a link to the TWRP you used to install xiaomi.eu?
I think I want to try it, especially if you say there are no problems with banking apps...
But you say root doesn't work?
I am currently using ANCIENTOS, a lot of customization and options and especially a brightness control for AOD.
The autonomy is very good and the FOD is fast.
The play store is not certified, but my banking application is working.
