Best Rom with Signature Spoofing for MicroG - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I will receive my RN7 in few days to replace my old RN3P.
I don't want to continue to use google apps. I want to use MicroG but i need a custom rom with signature spoofing enabled.
What is the best rom? I don't need a rom with many tweeks. I like pure AOSP and Lineage OS but they haven't signature spoofing.
Thanks.

If you or someone else still seeks this like me back in March I compared the then candidates: crDroid 6.3, HavocOS 3.1, AospExtended 7 all based on Android 10. I did go with crDroid 6.3 and still have it (no updates because OTA / dirty flash is not possible and it seems not all updates worked flawlessly for others). crDroid 6.3 works well and I like the custom things. Now it seems a LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG is available, but I remain cautious about updating/changing because GCam EIS video performance is important for me and some say new ROMs use camera blobs which may cause EIS video problems. Latest AOSP base might even brake video recording (green screen).

Well, I've tested crDroid, AICP und LOS4MircoG for exactly this goal (= no google, no gapps etc)
The recommended crDroid 6.3 build (by @Chrismo) is a very good one, I had this in use until 3 weeks ago ..
Now I'm on this AICP build (https://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/device/lavender/WEEKLY/aicp_lavender_q-15.0-WEEKLY-20200701.zip) witch includes more actual security fixes and is a bit smoother in daily use (imho).
All the later builds (LineageOS4MicroG, crDroid, AICP) seem to have cam issues ..

[Q] COS12.1 vs. CM13

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Zuk Z1 and I'm pretty happy with my latest Cyanogen OS 12.1 official build, waiting for Cyanogen OS 13 release, sooner or later.
I love modding too, and I'd like to try Mr.Coldbird CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/orig-development/unofficial-cm13-t3277885), because it looks better than official CM13 builds and also a lot more customizable than COS.
If anyone have tried them both, can you please post your impressions and also the main differences between the two firmwares?
Thanks in advice!
Both cm 13 rom 's look the same and look even the same than COS 12.1. cm13 is still beta and it is impossible to switch a single sim card off for the moment. You can do that in COS 12.1. As for the customization the roms are the same too. Only the rom 's built by @OrdenKrieger like temasek or RessurectionRom are more customized. If you really can't wait for the official launch you should try the official cm13 first as it does update your phone to be able to run other cm13 rom "s too without the need to flash a unknown custom made blobs zip.
Enjoy your Zuk Z1 with working Fingerprint on Cyanogen Software.

Thanks for your answer!
I mentioned Mr.Coldbird's CM13 because I read that it has working fingerprint and usb-otg, while official CM13 has not.
I'll take a look at the other ones you mentioned.
What I'd like for my Zuk is:
- Working fingerprint and unlock with soft touch (not press).
- Ambient Display (I came from a 2013 Moto X :sigh.
- "Ok Google" with screen off (see above :sigh.
- Something to ease one-hand usage (got very small hands).
- Better camera app than COS one.
- Better fingerprint integration (can only use it for phone unlock).

100% stable custom ROM - does it exist?

Are there any absolutely stable ROMs for Redmi3s? I'm currently using crDroid 7.1.2 with default kernel and still getting crashes sometimes. So far I have used:
stock MIUI - no crashes there but many bugs with connectivity
dev MIUI - better but it's still trash MIUI
Lineage 14 stock kernel - great but occasional crashes
Lineage 14 beacon kernel - more crashes
Lineage 15.1 - occasional crashes, persistent bootloops after some app updates
crDroid - occasional crashes
The crashes I had were black screens (with backlight) and reboot soon after that. They happen only when using the phone, not in a specific application though. I used to have same crashes with graphical glitches but I'm not getting these with stock kernel.
So my other question is how can I debug the crashed cause? Any logging software that would catch the culprit?
I'm looking for a rom that would be 100% stable, I can't have my phone reboot (which takes some time) because of specific application.
Have been using resurrection remix nougat version on my Redmi 3s and faced no issues at all till now.
Crdroid 8.1 by difr. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed with this ROM. All the other ROMS are great! This one was my favorite Oreo rom. I've tried and used almost all the ROMS from XDA for Redmi 3S Prime. Pixel Experience 9.0 is also stable. Now I'm using Arrow OS which works superfine. I switched from Pixel to Arrow Bcz I need more customization.

Best 9.0/pie based custom rom for maxpro m1

Hello Guys,
Since official update doesnt seem to be happening, I wanted to know which is the best pie based custom rom for maxpro m1, which would tick below criteria
Best battery backup / SOT
GCAM support / camera 2 api enabled
Regular updates and support
No major bugs
I see there are lot of custom roms available to choose from. Need suggestion to pick the night one.
Ps. I haven't rooted my phone yet.

So, maybe you should try it one by one :fingers-crossed:

Thanks! I have seen all these roms in the tread. What i wanted to know was the first hand experience of the people who have used it. If not all, at least few of the above mentioned roms.
i personally love Bootleggers rom......give it a try...
Well, at it's current state, Havoc OS v2.2 is the most stable Pie ROM for our phone, in my opinion. I've just recently flashed it and it's giving me very good battery backup and performance. PUBG seems to work good too (I haven't played the game in high settings as I usually play it in classic setting which works really great).
The sounds are not exactly same as stock but it just works well. The audio output is good too.
The ROM has Pixel 2 Gcam pre-installed and it works good, again. Though for some reason Pixel 3 Gcams aren't working yet in the latest build. So there's that.
There are no major bugs. The only known bugs to me as of now is the Pixel 3 gcam crashing, and the headphone issue during call (the other person can't hear you while calling using headphones).
Havoc : good & stable
1. Liquid Remix latest build (Unofficial though)
2. Havoc OS 2.2
3. Bootleggers ROM latest build.
No major bugs in either of them but Liquid Remix and Bootleggers give the best audio experience ( Almost close to stock ). These are the best stable ROMs right now in my experience. Shuffling between them for almost a month now. Customize more with Magisk modules. Cheers !!

Updated : what is your favorite Android PIE ROM for Z17s (NX595J) ?

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a good ROM as daily use for my Z17s (NX595J), but I can't find one with all features working ... The most important one for me is fingerprint unlock. With most of GSI ROM it doesn't work. The problems that I encounter also is Pixel launcher not working with LineageOS based ROMS.
What I used so far :
Havoc-OS-v2.0-20181018-GSI-ARM64-Aonly-Gapps-Official.img.xz
Havoc-OS-v2 6-20190604-vvBuild-phhgsi arm64 a
ResurrectionRemix system-190406-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img
Can you guys post what you use (kernel, band, vendor, system img) and if you're satisfied ? Thanks !!
After trying many ROMS, kernels and ****, this is the best setup for Android 9.0 I found for my NX595J :
Recovery : TWRP 3.2.3-3 by NFound (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z17/development/twrp-t3834149)
Radio : Stock (NX595J_Z69_EN_VNG0N_V112)
Kernel : 4.4.78-perf+ (from vendor below)
Vendor : Project-Treble-NX595J-v1.5-OREO-PIE.zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z17/development/nx595j-t3837433)
System GSI : LineageOS 16.0-20190609 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...i-lineageos-16-0-gsi-arm64-ab-how-to-t3908029)
Gapps : use Pico (open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20190605.zip) because when I use stock Gapps, Pixel Launcher doesn't work (I always get the message saying the application stopped working on any LineageOs based ROM when using stock gapps... if you install Pixel Launcher after flashing Pico Gapps, it's working, don't ask me why)
Misc : Full Screen Gesture APK because you don't have any navigation bar on LineageOS 16.
link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agooday.fullscreengestures&hl=en_US or : https://apkpure.com/full-screen-gestures/com.agooday.fullscreengestures
Battery life is not AMAZING but is by far the longest one I had on Android 9.0 with this phone with GSI roms : 40% left after 14 hours without charge (1h06 min of screen use, and pretty bad reception during the whole day, google location activated and no optimization made at all). Fingerprint unlock is working perfectly. Didn't try MTP.
ROMs I tried : Havoc, Lineage, Mokee 90, Liquid, Omni Pie, Resurrection Remix
what about camera?

I'm testing the same setup with the recent update of LOS 16 at the moment.
Which gcam Mod works here?
All I tested so far have problems with front camera(force close when taking picture).

ROM recommendation, please! Encryption support is mandatory!!!

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
