We Have Seen that as soon as MIUI 9 (N) was launched MI MAX... developers ported that ROM for our Kenzo....and we were able to Taste MIUI 9 with Nougat with all the features that MIUI provided with android N....
The sad part is we didn't recieve any official update for android N form Mi....And we will never get to Taste the official MIUI Nougat....
BUT****
I came across some post & there it say that MIUI is planning for Split screen and quick switch for the Mi phone which didn't recieve Nougat update.....but they won't update it to Nougat they are planning to give out this features on marshmallow...Mi has already rolled out almost all the features that were supposed to be on MIUI Nougat (the features which were showed in the presentation).
Reports say that split screen has has already rolled out(In January 2018) for China alfha testers and was expected to see the features in global developer ROM by APRIL 2018...But it still has no signs....
The Main Question That Stands Is...Will MIUI 9 Marshmallow be able to be smooth with those heavy duty features??
I have a 2GB RAM Kenzo....and MIUI 9 Marshmallow sucks the RAM like Hell I can't even run 4 apps without reloading it....but the Same Kenzo on Custom ROMs runs like a knife through a cake....
I personally have seen MIUI9 Marshmallow take upto 5-6 second to load home screen...which is disgusting....you can't expect this....
I have also tested the MIUI 9 Nougat....Epic MIUI 9 Nougat....MIUI PRO ROMs and all are not that responsive as AOSP based ROMs.....
There are a few Reasons for this
1)MIUI being a heavier Custom skin
2)Alot of bloated Google apps which can't be disabled directly (but is possible by third party shortcut marker apps)
The above stuff is all about MIUI9 Marshmallow by Mi itself....it still lags....Freezes the phone....
And now introducing 2 more features...SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH....which are heavy duty features.....
Now I now that other phone which recieved the Nougat update are running good....but the case exists only for 3GB n up Ram's
Rather developing code based on SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH for marshmallow roll out Nougat for Kenzo...what's more easy??
Yes now being a huge company they think in different way....40-50 % phone by Mi are running under Nougat which means rolling out Nougat for specific devices won't help them...but developing those features on Marshmallow will help as more n more wiser will get that feature based on Marshmallow as most of the phone so have Marshmallow.... Marketing Tactics
The main focus of MIUI should be to improve the performance and not to add bulky features which will eat Ram more....I know that MIUI9 is all focused on faster app opening...and being light....but did it really do that?? Kind off no....
Most of the Kenzo users have already moved to custom ROMs...as we find great stability faster app opening...more multi-tasking...the real power of Kenzo come out here....and no one is really that interested in using a OS that's 3 years old...here we are getting the latest OS 8.1 with good performance HDR+ camera hell lot of features....
Really I don't think bringing those 2 features to marshmallow ROM will help MIUI to get us back to MIUI anyways....all we wanted was to taste MIUI 9 Nougat and all the features that it had...and thanks for our lovely devs for porting ROM....and giving us such a great ROM..... though the development is slowly getting down.....
The only features that attracted me personally was FACE UNLOCK..but the way Ram management was...it didn't took a second to revert back to custom ROMs....and MIUI is planning this...
Giving SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH on marshmallow.....rather unlock the bootloader of the the devices that has not received Nougat..and let them live their life in peace.....that's more easy then a developing ROMs...and creating a mess for your developers....let their super minds think on your upcoming UI and redesign stuff in that....
Yes it will be worth giving a try when this features come...but they won't be able to keep users over MIUI for long time because we all have already used this things and Marshmallow ??and MIUI9 suck anyways...

I have given up hopes of official MIUI for RN3 and ill say im more happy trying out all these powerful feature rich roms that some awesome ppl on this forum are making. Though MIUI looks fancy but the power of a stock rom is to another level. MI won't care much for older devices like ours and its better to give up miui.

Exactly what I think of Apple iPhone and One plus ???when compared together ??
Was the best rom for this tablet, the stock version is pretty laggy, im flashing a optimized rom to see if improves but any suggestions?

I got the base rom to run pretty good once I turned off all notifications and animations, and set the max number of background processes to 4
I like los14.1... but I've barebones the build by deleting everything I don't want and then I added some tweaks to make it feel real good.
All the custom roms are more or less the same (except for stock based like stock+ rom) because they are all made from Steel01's sources baked with custom rom specific files. So pick the one you find the prettiest or the most useful...
Hi All
What is latest ROM , there is any stability one from end of 2018 . Maybe someone working on new one ?
It depends what you're going for on your tablet. If you're aiming to keep all the Nvidia specific features I would recommend the 5.4.1 stock+ rom. If you don't care about any of that I believe that lineage is the way to go. Between the two, performance is the same for the most part, lineage is based on 7.1.2 though instead of 7.0, so you get a few newer features. If I have time later to come back to this I'll link them.

I've been trying the 5.4.1+ rom. For some reason it crashes and boot loops after installing Swift Keyboard Damn, I really like that keyboard. Then I updated Magisk on it, to get a message saying the new Magisk app isn't supported. So I uninstalled it to download the previous version and that caused a bootloop now too
Just flashed it again, hopefully it works better this time.
I am also wondering what is the best ROM for my K1 is?
First off, I bought this tablet used. Did some research and found out about the battery recall, mine is not one of them, as in I have the newer/better battery.
Secondly I did update the stock rom to 5.4 but the battery drain was horrendous. No gaming, just surfing facebook or the internet was a draining the battery in a few hours. Even in standby on my nightstand, battery was almost dead the next morning. Then after some research many people said to downgrade to 5.2 which I did and it pretty much fixed the battery drain issue.
Then I found out about LineageOS and decided to install 15.1, performance is good, but does still experience some battery drain issues, but not as bad as 5.4.
I also know that earlier this year LineageOS has returned support for the Nividia Shield K1 tablet, but is that for OS 17 and how long do I have to wait for that version?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On 5.4 to get regular battery usage you have to enable custom cpu profiles, the default profile doesn't idle properly and the cpu's stay in a higher frequency state. You can then have all 4 cores enabled and it will idle properly (well it does for me), and you have nvidia driver support for the original wifi game controller which i have.
Otherwise, if you use a LineageOS 14 build, you can have full hardware video acceleration, on 15 builds you won't have hardware video acceleration.
So what your saying is I can go back to 5.4 and just play with the settings? Any special apps to do this, or just all within the android settings that need changing in order to have the performance and stop the battery drain problem?
If it's just the android settings, what are the settings I need to change? Tutorial?
Thanks
AOSP extended from bit obsession is a bit old but still snappy!

battery
honestly, i think we are all screwed
my tablet wont charge at all now. it shows the icon on the screen saying it is charging but it doesnt charge at all. sometimes i can get about 10% on it.
the computer no longer recognises the device and i have only ever used official ota firmwares for it
spoke to Nvidia and all i got was the out of warrenty response.
they no longer care in anyway about shield tablet users and as it is discontinued its not like you can even buy a replacement. you cant buy secondhand either because theyll all just have the same bollocks battery issues we have on ours now.
I'll contribute a data point for anyone reading in late-2019 going into 2020:
I'm on Stock+ 5.4.1 on my K1 and it has been great for me so far in the last few weeks since I flashed it. I had been on the stock Marshmallow firmware for the past three years and was having the typical lag issues on wake. It was so severe that the tablet was completely unusable coming out of a deep sleep. It was also a chore to reboot it because even the lag on holding down the power button was agonizing and unpredictable. It was worse than booting Windows with an old hard drive.
I've had no lag-on-wake issues with Stock+ 5.4.1 so far. It's like coming back to remember why I liked this tablet in the first place after hating it for the past couple of years. I hadn't used it for anything other than daily alarms over the past year and change, but lately, I've been using it for bedside reading again instead of my phones.
To address a few of the issues that have been brought up in this thread:
I haven't had any battery drain issues with Stock+ 5.4.1. It seems to do about the same on my K1 as Marshmallow did, which was 100% to 15% on idle except for daily alarms (and snoozes) from Sunday through Saturday.
I ordered a new 6000 mAh replacement battery from AliExpress and will be installing it when needed. My current battery life isn't great, but it's not horrible either. I think it still manages to have about 80% of its original capacity.
After installing Stock+ 5.4.1, I flashed the latest Magisk 20.1 zip (Stock+ 5.4.1 came with Magisk 16.0) from within TWRP at a later date with no issues. Magisk 18+ is not compatible with Magisk Manager versions older than 7.0.0, but the old versions of Magisk Manager were bad in that they would always ask you to update to the latest version regardless of what version of Magisk you had installed. Basically, Magisk Manager was asking you for permission to nuke itself.
I have never used the official Facebook or Messenger apps, but virtually every comment I've ever read about them say that they're battery killers. Use a third-party app that combines both and has a smaller memory footprint.
I used to be an avid user of SwiftKey, but I've since soured on it. I haven't installed it on my K1 since the firmware upgrade and I don't know if I will going forward. The biggest benefit of SwiftKey used to be the dedicated number row, but its predictive swiping was the worst I had ever used. I'm on Gboard now and it seems to be working well. The only feature I miss from SwiftKey is the arrow keys to move the text cursor.
I am also wondering what is the best ROM. I got a K1 used as well not too long ago, and I mostly want to use it as a study tool for some CompTIA certifications in 2020, so viewing PDF's/word docs, exam simulations, and tutorial videos will be it's primary function. I do like comics so I would like it to perform snappy.
I really have no interest in gaming or social media.

I went with a stock-based ROM because I still wanted all of the tablet's functionality to work as designed, even though I've never played games on my K1 using a controller or created an Nvidia account. However, as long as retaining those features won't cause the device to run poorly and there isn't anything inherently poor about the stock experience, I don't mind. Stock-based ROMs are usually easier to set up and install. Nvidia stock firmware isn't known for being particularly bloated or heavy like that of some phone manufacturers, but of course LineageOS is still going to be faster at the cost of some device-specific features.
Given your intended use, as long as you use something newer than the stock Marshmallow firmware and its wake lag issues, you probably don't need to worry about much else.
I decided to dig my K1 out of the closet and have a play with over the holidays. I just flashed the stock recovery 5.20 but for some reason I cannot update or download any apps from the Google Play Store. I keep getting error 963. I searched how to fix this but nothing has worked.
Anyone else been able to fix this?
Hello,
After changing tons of phones in last weeks/months, i finaly got my s5 mini, my dream phone it seems. It is of a perfect size for me and it is very grippy due to rubber back cover. Now i want to improve it as much as i can. I want to stay on stock 6.0.1 rom (unless u see there is any point in downgrading ?). I will first say what i did and then ask what i can do to improve it further.
What i did:
1. turn all animations to 0 in developers options
2. turn off s voice
3. disabled all apps i could that i dont need
4. turned off a bunch of other things i dont need
What i need help with:
1. what else can i do to further improve performance
2. google maps app seems a bit slow. Any way to improve it or is this phone simply to weak
3. any tips for camera, how to take better photos/video, any settings i should change ?
No one ?
Hello,
I personally think its kind of funny that someone says that the s5 mini is their dream phone in 2019. I mean its kind of old and outdated now and while I can of course understand that you like the size of it and the rubber back, there are many alternatives which also dont break the bank. I think without rooting or flashing another Rom, your experience is not going to get better than it already is. The s5 mini is not the most powerful phone you know. Anyways I used a galaxy s5 mini from 2014 untill 2018 and I was never really happy with it. It was always slow and sluggish, though the camera was good for 2014 and what I really liked about it was its ip67 certification, I got into the pool with it xD. I ran it on Android 4.4.2 for most of its live, mainly because I rooted it in 2015 and thus couldnt update to a newer version of Android. But in late 2017 I decided to factory reset and flash a stock Android 5 Rom via Kies. After that I updatet to 6.0.1 Marshmello, but in early 2018 the hole thing was to slow for me and I threw a custom Rom on it. Android 8 but it was in beta and very buggy so I flashed Resurection Remix with Android 7.1.2. It was already way faster and more modern than on the stock Rom. But then I found a Kernel that would let me overclock the cpu from 1.4 Ghz to 1.6 Ghz and the Gpu from 400 mhz to 600 mhz. So i used that Kernel and the phone was actually very useable. The first time in 4 years of ownwership, I was really happy with my s5 mini. I bought a new phone (Honor 9) though only like 6 weeks after flashing the Kernel lol. The Honor 9, after 1 year has never let me down tough and im very very happy with it.
S5 mini G800F
Hi there,
I'm happy with my S5 mini (G800F), but I really need an Dual SIM device with better battery life and will have to get one soon. Battery life is weak point.
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), didn't have success to install Gapps though. Using F-Droid and YalpStore. There are some bugs with the camera (it stops working) but after restart works fine again.
It is an OK device, but a bit slow and with short battery life.
Unfortunately from 2-3 weeks there is a problem with my main microphone and is not the mic itself but some motherboard bad connection or something. Works fine with headset but it is not really convenient
According to some people if one switches Off the LTE the battery life is better.
Instead of Gmaps I'm using HereWeGo, OruxMaps and Sygic - all for free.
About the camera: I am using Open Camera. The camera app of LOS 14.1 is really plain Of OpenCamera I like the DRO option, but it takes a few seconds to generate the picture.
Hope you will find the best way to use your S5 mini. It is very cute device with so many advantages like notification LED with RGB, ambient light sensor, NFC, IR, AMOLED, small size and weight... I will miss all of this in such a small and ergonomic package.
I understand your point. There are no more under 5" devices with normal specs. So sad...
Best regards!
Hi, i have this device now. ¿Which rom its the most stable and smooth?

I recommend the unofficial LineageOs 16 custom rom for you. This is the most stable rom I’ve ever seen for the S5 mini.
Only Requirement is to have the G800F model.
Otherwise you will break you phone.
Im running CrDroid 5.12 on my g800f with the Spookcity Kernel and Magisk. Although I'm using a Oneplus 5 as my main device I'm very happy with the results. You can run Android P roms like Posp, LineageOS, CrDroid, bootleggers or Aosp (extended). I think you can get very happy using POSP with Open Gapps nano/Pico. But CrDroid is the only rom, which is getting updated. It also is the only Pie rom supporting NFC.

This might be a pretty late reply, but I hope it can help.
If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device. I can't tell you exactly which, but you can deactivate a lot of system apps with root, which can improve performance in some scenarios (Look at some debloat script from other Samsung phones - a lot of the apps are the same). For deactivating system apps I use this app. Alternatively you could try to deactivate system apps without root with ADB.
In my opinion the Google apps are all very slow and all the system apps slow your device down a lot (from my experience the Google Play Services and especially the Google Play Store), which is why I either use microG on the Stock ROM or at least deactivate what I can.
Sadly you can't push much more performance out of this phone, especially not without a Custom ROM. It has four pretty weak CPUs and one really bad GPU - don't expect to be able to play any even slightly demanding games, better stay at those 2D titles. The only way to make it feel faster is to use the lightest
- OS (in my opinion any Android 6 ROM)
- system apps (disable unnecessary-seeming ones - but be very careful!) <- of course only on Stock ROM
- third-party/user apps (if an app is slow, look for alternatives - for example you could look at OSMand or MAPS.ME istead of Google Maps)

If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device. I can't tell you exactly which, but you can deactivate a lot of system apps with root, which can improve performance in some scenarios (Look at some debloat script from other Samsung phones - a lot of the apps are the same). For deactivating system apps I use this app. Alternatively you could try to deactivate system apps without root with ADB.
In my opinion the Google apps are all very slow and all the system apps slow your device down a lot (from my experience the Google Play Services and especially the Google Play Store), which is why I either use microG on the Stock ROM or at least deactivate what I can.
Sadly you can't push much more performance out of this phone, especially not without a Custom ROM. It has four pretty weak CPUs and one really bad GPU - don't expect to be able to play any even slightly demanding games, better stay at those 2D titles. The only way to make it feel faster is to use the lightest
- OS (in my opinion any Android 6 ROM)
- system apps (disable unnecessary-seeming ones - but be very careful!) <- of course only on Stock ROM
- third-party/user apps (if an app is slow, look for alternatives - for example you could look at OSMand or MAPS.ME istead of Google Maps)

The Google app is a mandatory update with the new Play Store layout and app updates eat into the storage of the phone.
Hello guys!
I've been using my Redmi 3s 2 GB Variant for 4 years now and I want a stable android q based ROM without bugs and I don't care about battery backup or customizations because I only want a ROM which can be used as a daily driver with no bugs
And if there isn't one on android q please suggest me one pie ROM with no bugs except LineageOS
Thank you
AEX 6.7 (November build ) ran w/o any issues. At least I couldn't find one. Had it installed for 3 months or so.
AEX lagged for me too much and I had tried the same build
Please can anyone suggest any good Custom ROM based on Android 9 or 10 for THE 2 GB VARIANT which has no bugs and performs good
I really don't need battery backup or any customization
Lag is most probably on account of too little available RAM.
You could try flashing Nanodroid microG + low RAM enabler package. Together should net RAM savings anywhere from 200-400MB. Also maybe look into Android Go apps like Gmail Go, Maps Go etc. I replaced SwiftKey with no-frills one like Old Keyboard(T9 only, no swipe) which consumes only 10MB vs 70-100MB. AnySoft is a feature-rich alternative but consumes less RAM. Among mainstream launchers Nova is still pretty light. Also Web versions/PWA wherever possible instead of a separate app. Titanium Backup to freeze infrequently used yet oft-running apps. F-Droid hosts plenty of lightweight yet surprisingly well-featured alternatives.
Edit: I found Kiwi Browser (even with a handful of extensions enabled) to be quite good in terms of tabs being retained for a reasonable length of time. Better than Samsung Browser and even Chrome.

Hello,
I am using MIUI on my MI4a and I am looking for an alternative stock android ROM that is fast and does not take too much space. I have the 16GB version phone and I am always*running out of space. I do not care much about customization features.
I know there are tons of ROM but I am a little lost: Pixel experience, Lineage, Havoc...
Could someone tell me what is the best option available at this moment ?
Thanks in advance
Havoc is pretty good. They seem stop developing it but currently it's on android 10 and very stable on mine.
Thanks a lot for your recommendation
LineageOS 17.1 by @yurikoles. It's actively maintained and even got the July security update recently.
If you want more customization, there's SuperiorOS by @dandyfarid. Also actively maintained.
I've tried both extensively and they're both stable and definitely a lot faster than MIUI. I've rarely encountered the low space notif since Android 9 but then again I don't have a lot of games installed. As long as you regularly clear up space (in Photos/Files) you should be fine.
