Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: Back2Basics
Stable Release Date: 2021-11-20
Created 2020-07-09
Last Updated 2021-11-20
F.A.Q
1. How do I install this kernel? What Do I gain from it?
- Flash Via TWRP or Use FK Kernel Manger's Flasher option. I will also soon provide users with a .json file that you can import into FK Manager to get updates directly!
As I said in the first post, I will not claim extreme speed or hyper Battery life. But you will have a stable, fluid and satisfying experience on your phone.
2. Requirements -
- A unlocked Nokia 6.1, 6.1 Plus or 7 Plus
- A PC with fastboot working
- Stock or custom ROM that boots
- A recovery or FK Kernel Manager
3. Device Heats up alot. Can you do something?
- If your phone heats up, then you should probably consider not playing PUBG: Mobile for 5 hours on a hot day or use LTE continuously.
4. PUBG: Mobile and CODM Lags like crazy. Phone heats and up Enigma kernel dev suck!!!!
- No. I don't suck.
Heavy games utilize every last bit of resource on your phone and your phone has to keep up with all that rendering, sound processing and AI/NPC Controls while keeping a check on your BG Apps. This heavy utilization requires the CPU, Memory Controller and GPU to run at their 100% and that believe it or not produces massive amounts of heat and use a lot of battery power.
I can increase thermal throtlling thresholds but am I gonna? Nope. It is stupid and dangerous.
5. Does GCam Work fine?
- Yes since I replaced the camera drivers from Android 9 sources, Gcam mods will not be affected from shutter button not working or similar. You just have to find a stable Gcam mod for yourself and you're done
6. What about Battery Life, Performance, Fluidity - All the good stuff?
- I put a lot of emphasis on fluidity vs battery or performance because it is just terrible to use a phone that lags, stutters and cannot hold a stable 60FPS throughout the UI. These Nokia bois are perfectly capable of stable 60FPS UI rendering. Next to fluidity, I focus on performance and battery equally.
What this means for end users is that, You have a smooth, lag-free and fluid experience with balanced performance and battery life across the board.
7. HMP vs EAS? Why EAS?
- They are just different ways via which the Kernel chooses which CPU to use for the different tasks you perform on a daily basis. HMP is almost deprecated at this point and all the new phones releasing with Kernel tag 4.9 and higher come with EAS by default.
EAS is smoother and with proper configuration, more performant and efficient as-well.
8. I want to create a kernel based on Enigma's sources. Where should I start?
- Nice! You could head over to Enigma's Git repository and fork it. I'd advice you to base your work over the STAGING branch as that's the cleanest and the most stable base of Enigma.
I'd consider Enigma's sources stable as on 29-09-2021.
For in-line ROM compiling, other devs have run into issues and as such, I WOULD NOT recommend you to build Enigma in-line. I will not support you in those cases. Standalone compilers however, would have my full support.
9. Donations and what not?
- You don't need to spend more money to bring out more out of your phone. This is a hobby, not a business. Let's keep it that way
-------------------------------------------------
For More Information on EAS -
- How EAS makes Google Pixel the smoothest phone
- How EAS makes Google Pixel the smoothest phone: Reddit Discussion - This is quite a technical dive, But is quite interesting and absolutely wonderous to see top devs from XDA and other blogs have arguments.

Hello, do you think you could look into why the minimum brightness in novatek screens, for 7 plus, is so bright?
I tried to mess with it using i2cset but I can't control it because it's being used by the driver

Brightness is usually affected in the vendor side of things. Kernel just hosts the touch drivers to power on the display and recognize touch inputs. I can suggest you to switch back to the stock rom/flash stock vendor if you feel brightness isn't enough.
I do not usually play on the phone but the battery lasts much much longer, in daily use (web browsing and messaging) the performance is perfect it is fluid and energetically very very efficient. your kernel it's great

If it's there, It's probably there for a reason or it's a bug. But seeing the amount of display issues with 7 Plus i don't it's a bug.
Anywho, Lemme see what I can do.
I have some screenshots of the full daily battery usage, I am in the pixel experience with Enigma-WAS 08-02-2020 for nokia 6.1
I hope they serve as a reference for your good work :good:

Hi there,
I was unsure if I should ask this in the Oppo Forum or here, if I am in the wrong place just tell me!
As for my question: I just wanted to know what kernel other user owning the Find 5 and running Omni Rom are using.
I was kind of unable to find a fit when i searched in the Find 5 Forum in "Android Original Development" (this was the right forum right?). So I am happy about any reply. If you could drop a few words on why you use this very kernel, even more!
If I was just plain dumb/blind asking this question cause it was answerd a thousand times before - please give me directions, I really didn't find what I was looking for.

Every oppo find 5 kernel for 4.3/4 is a custom one since coloros is still at android 4.2
Which is what oppo shares on their github.
For 4.3/4 there are AFAIK only two kernels
-based on the omnirom one
-from cfxe http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/a...-y-codefirexperiment-nightlies-weeklies.5630/
Dont know about CM

Ok, thanks a bunch - that explains it. I concluded from your post that 4.3 kernels work on 4.4 too? Is that correct?
But i thought that there were only two major differences between kernels for the same device and the same
android version - sense and aosp. Your words were "the only ones based on omni rom..." does that mean there are more
differences i have to look out for? Sorry.. i really still am a noob when it comes to kernels and stuff.
Keep in mind that modified system configurations (such as changing the kernel) are NOT supported by Omni.
If you are running a kernel other than the included one, your configuration becomes invalid for any bug reports.

Thanks for the info - I did not know this..it might actually keep me from installing another kernel. It was just that i wanted to toy a little around wih it (after reading some more ^^) simply cause I have never done it before and wanted to experience firsthand how it can affect performance and battery life.

Many of the tweaks that people install custom kernels for can be simply achieved by altering the tuning settings of their existing kernel.
For example, those who really like battery life may wish to choose the conservative governor and set aggressive up/down thresholds. (up threshold 90 and down of 60 is what I use)

Yeah that's what I was looking for. Though i failed to realize that these options are provided ^^. It's kinda embarassing cause i only noticed
them when i wanted to switch apps with switchtr and pulled out the sliding bar by accident.
So yeah i had what i wanted all along .. Well anyways ... thanks for providing the settings you use. I'm gonna try them!

History Time ! = Ever since i got my hands on with the Xperia XZ , the battery is mediocre at best and the sound quality from the speakers throughput was too soft
So with all those factors in mind , i decided to root the phone and see if the claim among the communities were true or not.
Key Findings
- The performance is much (10-20%) improved after installing the Artisan Battery Mod
- The standby drain still persists but it is reduced from 7-10 % per night to 4-5% per night
- The heat when using the device for gaming and multitask routinely is greatly reduced. The device feels feels cool 90% of the time
- I flashed the de-bloat script and i can confidently say that the ram usage has been reduced (more free ram available)
- Because of the debloat script, more free space is available and this also contributes to the increase in performance
- I flashed the sound mod from the mods section of this device forum (yes, both of it) . i tested each one and yes there is a somewhat improvement in loudness. But i should warn you that playing anything related to audio or video at 90 to 100% volume will cause extreme distortion
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With all my key findings combined, here is a conclusion for it,
Its not complicated to root this device although it requires a lot of steps
I expect my device to outperform after rooting but it did not as it shows significant improvements but not to my satisfactory,
with that in mind, i relocked my bootloader, restore my DRM keys and go back to full stock and no root.
Happy Modding and have a nice day !
I think 48 hours is to short time to validate root experience, but that is my experience.
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
Personally I've been a Xperia user for several years since z3c. I've not pandered to root for the passed 2 years..... Until now.
I just couldn't deal with the lacklustre speaker levels and the annoyance of ads on YouTube.
I'm currently having a great user experience with the following:
* Stock 7.1.1 rooted
* Debloated https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oem-debloat-script-v1-0-t3527866/post70296797
* Artisan governor https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...an-interactive-governor-t3580142/post71615353
* Brevent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.brevent
* BetterBatteryStats https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
* Google Play Services Doze Mod https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...ze-google-play-services-t3608783/post72344542
* Viper4Android (+ mixer path mods for stereo output) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...xz-stereo-sony-settings-t3572329/post71409398
* Magisk13.2 for root https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/post68966662
* YouTube Adfree with background playback
You can see I've not done a huge amount, I chose stock debloated rather than any of the custom stock options. Less variables for something to go wrong in my experience. However all that I've deployed from the list above provide a profound effect on performance and user experience.
So with my minimal tweaks in place I can happily say the phone is a vast improvement, more refined and just as I'd like it.
No complaints other then the learning curve involved with magisk, and the odd temperamental boot loops that come with magisk. Otherwise Stella
Going forward I would like to install:
a) host files within Magisk to block ads system wide.
b) Sony native call recording - https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...all-recording-mm-v1-0-0-t3430847/post68001048
c) Sony native screen recorder - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...tock-screen-record-v1-0-t3527846/post70296234 or https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...g-apps-xperia-xz-rooted-t3482858/post69187923
(b & c currently they do not work for me at least, serajr has mentioned the need for deodexed services.jar.)
Once I have a,b & c in place, I will then be entirely satisfied with my setup.
************** EDIT **************
I have since got option a) from above Incorporated successfully.
Also have successfully migrated from androplusv27 to a duality kernel thanks to @_LLJY
(Note to self: Can flash .IMG files from TWRP i.e kernel boot.img - therefore no need for adb fastboot via laptop method. Secondly you lose root when flashing kernel hence need to reflash magisk or the likes.) - Again thanks to @_LLJY for the learning curve :good:

Yeh from my reading over the 2 options for customised stock on XZ - both unfortunately seem to have drawbacks.
I was unwilling to face all the hiccups people have mentioned just for a few extra bells and whistles.
Less is most definitely more in this case I believe.
Read the first post in this thread to gain the know how of how to flash using flashtool https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...ock-bl-kernel-twrp-root-t3541648/post70639175
In essence:
1 use flashtool to flash the FTF of your choice (grabbing the FTF from xperifirm)
2 flash androplus kernel and TWRP - links are again in the post I link above.
3 gain root with either flashing magisk or su in TWRP
4 you now have a stock rooted firmware/installation
5 customise at your peril (debloat etc etc.)
And here is my post in that same thread I link above with some additional comprehension that might help you https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...ock-bl-kernel-twrp-root-t3541648/post72870474
I have also updated my initial post above this one, with all of the links to help you on your way.
All of your questions will be answered in those respective threads.
Good luck

hi, maybe u should try aosp to massive battery life lol (in dev for gpu drivers and stuff),
i would say that we have no more hot reboots with lastest kernel (16/07/2017) and dr95
Stability restored and smoothness is here, i'll recommand to give it a shot now

Nearly have the same setup, and I concur, such an improvement VS stock, especially on battery life ..
Personally I could not do without magisk module to have Play Service follow Doze, you should give it a try, I've seen zero negative side effects yet but I've tottaly removed playservice from my top drains ( and I use location high accuracy etc...). That + artisan governor are life changer for the device

Ubuntu font and Audio enhancements were awesome. I am going to miss them. Ubuntu font was working fine even in my car infotainment system when using Android Auto link. Are you going to release the removed patches as a separate patch?
Will it still be compatible with other non Sony devices such as the ZTE Axon 7 ?

Great to see You here! So since AROMA is removed and some ROMs and Apps are delivering a Font Changer have i just removed it for now (I still use the Font here with the Carbon ROM on the XZP). The Audio System will be redone a bit to work better with Xperias and less dependencies. Think i will add it back in some Weeks. Same for AROMA. Since it's buggy as Hell (3.0 is a Beta since 2015), and totally fails on the XZ Premium TWRP am i still looking around for a fix. Hopefully am i soon able to add it back, and with it comes another rework of it (Better Structures, Texts etc.).
And Your last Question. Yes, it will still work on the Axon 7 and other Devices. But there is One Thing i already discovered, the new Camera Configs are destroying the Camera Previews on Apps like Open Camera. It shows just some green Fields and may also have Problems on recording. Only way around it would be to remove all Lines containing the word "Camera" in the Snap Prop File. Unfortunately will it not be possible to inject Custom Props while installing since AROMA isn't included anymore, means You need to extract the File out of the ZIP and Copy it back after Editing (Or repacking the ZIP). Wish i could handle that somehow else, but like said, no AROMA no Options :/
Let Me know how it goes and what You think! Will do my best to help out!
EDIT: Default DPI is now 400, may be a bit small on the Axon 7 Think i will at least share a working Prop for non Xperia Devices in the next Days. Should be easy to handle that with Updates since i know what's needed to be changed and removed. Hope that Helps a bit...
Is it possible someone could link a video of this working please? Really interested in this and it may be what stops me from selling my xzp. Would really like to see if the camera is improved as its really not that good compared to others, that's the main reason I'm thinking of selling it. Thanks for all the hard work too
@Miustone
YOU ARE A GENIUS :cyclops:
Installed last Carbon and your patch without issues. My XZP is like having a new life now
Thanks a lot :good::good::good:
I'm waiting for reviews, bcs I think lossing warranty right now is not my opinion. If anyone can tell a little bit about battery life on custom roms, camera distortion and etc, I would be very thankful.
I just tried flashing this along with the Carbon (lastest file) all I get is stuck at the Sony screen.
Works great. Camera quality still isn't up to stock, but it's noticeably better. Can't speak too much for audio, since I use viper anyways, but there's no distortion. Phone is running very smooth and cool. G8142 running carbonrom btw.

Well, i would keep the XZP. The Camera is better as on other Devices (ZTE, Xiaomi, One Plus, Essential, Wiko etc.) after patching AOSP. The only better working Camera i know will You find on HTC, or Samsung, but Samsung is out of the Race since they force Snapdragons to be not unloackable and Exynos without Sources for AOSP. After using a Nexus, a LG and a ZTE Device do i stick for the next Years with SONY again. They publish great Sources and Tutorials and are just delivering great Support for all kind of Android Stuff. That's also why i think that AOSP is better than Stock...

Which Warranty? Software Warranty? You will just loose the free Service of unbricking Your Software on the Device after unlocking. 99% of the Hardware Damages will be still covered (Like failing Materials, Buttons, Ports etc.). Software Warranty is really something for People outside of XDA. As long as You have a PC, a unlocked Bootloader and Firmware is there almost no chance of turning Your Device into a Brick... Just saying, i buyed My Device just some Days ago and i haven't waited a single Minute to unlock it (Since SONY has fixed all the old Xperia Device Problems like non working Camera on AOSP, washed out Display Colors and all that). Doesn't regret it! The only real disadvantage could be that it will be hard to sell Your SONY after unlocking. But if You want to keep it forever...

Hard to compare, Camera2 API and RAW alone should be worth the Switch. I also think that there is more possible in the Future once the right Configs are found (Picture Quality). Unlimited 4K recording on higher Bitrates and Framerates besides less heat from the Recording is also good to have (And should look better than on Stock). And great to hear You noticed the Performance. One of the Reasons for loving AOSP on My XZP is the fact that we don't need or have the Stamina Mode. I faced heavy Lags with Stamina besides Graphical Glitches and incredible Heat (Not matter if On or Off). Not to compare with how it is now. I played Shadowgun Legends for around a Hour and the Device was just not Hot. Same Settings on Stock caused crazy Heat and Lags after some Minutes. It's really a difference like Day and Night. Sadly does it looks like that the Carbon ROM has not the best System Animations which kills a bit the UI Smoothness. Would really love to see more AOSP ROM's to have the Choice... Maybe do i start a own One in the next Time, let's see..

man, I agree with you in most thing, but I'm waiting for examples of RAW photos, SOT battery and a lot of things... you should start building your own aosp with those features, I'm ready to donate some cash.

No sorry, added a List of supported Devices to the First Post now :angel:

Can You explain that a bit more?
Haven't slept a Minute since Yesterday. Camera is working again but it needs still further finetuning to get even better Quality. Same for the main Audio. The Microphones are working fast and precisely, but the Output could be better. Still a upgrade compared to 18413 but i will put more work into that...
Besides that are there some nice new Features coming. Including VR Support (With Apps and Options), some more Pixel Stuff (Sounds, Configs, Services) and better Display output (Colors are more natural + better HDR Playback). I merged a lot of content from the Pixel 2 XL and updated some HTC Things and it was really worth the Time...
I never got My SONY Nexus, but this is even better since we can enjoy the full AOSP goodness with all this nice extra Features.
Really happy with My decision to go back to SONY. The next Level will be a own AOSP based OS from Me. Planning this for a long Time but SONY is finally a good Base to start with (Easy like with Google Devices)...
Enough for now, i'm really tired :silly:
Soon back with more goodness! Keep an Eye on the Changelog to stay up to date!
Fellow Z2 Plus users,
We have always seen discussion about best rom..with features x,y,z etc etc. Now when one says best, which is quite subjective depending upon user, mostly focus is around all the features/customizations of the world and not to mention best battery, best performance and what not.
Here I am flipping the question and seek feedback & suggestions from fellow Zuk Z2 users on the ROMs which they find :
1) Least buggy - given some bugs will be always there
2) Stable - suitable for daily use with no surprises
3) Battery Optimized for performance but with priority being battery
4) Suitable for Daily Regular Use - wallets, bank apps, sync, 4G / wifi, good photos
So while the suggested ROM might not have few missing features (like ViLTE) and might have only limited customizations, but it remains overall robust and stable enough to be used regularly for next few months.
I agree that regular updates are good to have but then with development moving to P soon, the current build of suggested ROM should be such that without updates it should work fine
Request if fellow users can suggest their preferred ROM(s) on above criteria with at least minimum details of ROM like name, version and the build.
If further details can be provided like what is missing (say ViLTE etc) it will be wonderful for others! Thanks in advance to all for their feedback.
Sorry if this is a repeat but think at this juncture when the transition is about to happen to Android P we should have a list of stable roms handy.
EDIT 16th July 2020 :
It is close to 2 years since thread was started and discussions are still ON thanks to loyal users. Also if I may say, part credit also goes to phone's good build quality that it is still worth using for many
When this thread was started, we were in initial days of developers transitioning from Oreo to Pie ROM and today, we already have loads of Q ROMs.
Having said that, general preference, if we need a stable balanced ROM is to continue on Pie ROMs versus Q ROMs - no surprises here !!

Adguard DNS:

I had to use Activity launcher app for that meny because its hidden on miui 11 lol. If u also need that app, type in search network then find under settings - MORE. There u will find option.
Im glad u r happy with your device mate... I was considering Realme 6 Pro but I didnt like that 2 cameras in left corner. I like to see notifications there . So i decided to go with Xiaomi
Also here, it is the same, miui is heavy but apps stay in memory mostly, 6 gb LPDDR4X RAM, 64 GB UFS Storage 2.1. I couldnt find 128 GB model but i dont need it anyway, I would have buy it just because small difference in price. Cameras are real upgrade over Zuk, I also installed Gcam. Amoled is nice also.

Thank you for the work around.. I tried the non root method in adaway but wasnt that good.. changing DNS works much better.. I even updated this in my router..
I also don't like hole punch.. water drop notch is ok..
Hope all cameras are able to use GCam..
Your trick for miui worked as well.. Thank you again for that.
Stay safe and keep modding
Feedbacks Summarized
Thanks to all for sharing feedbacks/experiences. I am summarizing below, with focus on Oreo ROMs!.
EDIT 16th July 2020 : in last 2 years, we have also seen good development in terms of Pie & Q ROMs. So now we have some recommendations on stable and good for daily use Pie ROMs too
OREO ROMs (update basis discussions till Nov'18)
Resurrection Remix RR 6.2.1 Oreo is considered good by most - received feedbacks from @seking @Thisisaarush @Z750z @NaXal
One open issue: No auto call record
It has loads of Customizations, the final build released updated with Oct'18 security patches.
MIUI 10 ROM seems to be a good choice too as per feedback from @sivaramareddy @sidS6
It is stable and has good battery life
AEX 5.7 Oreo seems quite good as per feedback from @Vishwanath01 @sivaramareddy @suvankar.smart
They have not shared much details but what I see is that v5.7 is recommended by all even when the latest is v5.8. This ROM not updated after Aug'18
Download from versions availablehere
Jaguar Oreo is recommended as per feedback from @sanjay.2704 @seking @mGforCe
There seems to be battery issue/lag after couple of weeks of use. But with the entirely rebased ROM released, there are lot of hopes. Finally VoLTE working too - was broken since June build.
Hopefully the battery issue is resolved after few builds of the Rebase ROM. Having said that - this ROM is worth watching for!! The best thing is that dev is updating atleast once a month. With issues being reported, he updated within few weeks too!!
Pls note that have considered only those comments which had some level of details. Also there were more recommendations but since supported by only 1 user not included in the summary.
PIE ROMs (update basis discussions till Jun'20)
[Official - k4.4 // Beta - k4.9] AOSiP Pie is considered good by many and am @mGforCe using for last few months.
One open issue: Think Miracast doesn't work. The final build released has Sep'19 security patches. Link here
[ROM][9.0][TREBLE] SuperiorOS is also recommended one and we have @vuckovic_stefan using in on and off (when not trying other ROMs )
The final official build released has Oct'19 security patches. Link here
There is also an unofficial build released with Apr'20 security patches. Link here, credits @vuckovic_stefan
Bootleggers and Cardinal lastest. I have no idea about Volte because we don't have it here.
AOSP Extended 5.7 latest
Aosip rom is a clear winner, It's the best in every sector.. !
For me, as of now... Latest AEX 5.7 seems pretty stable and Recently I have tried one ROM that totally amazed me.... MIUI 10 ROM. It's very stable, considerably less heat with great performance and great battery life (6.5 -7 hrs SOT with Normal to Medium usage which include Browsing, Streaming, Instant Messaging etc). Coming to Gaming especially PUBG is a lot less laggy when compared to other ROM's when played with HD settings.
So, apart from the latest AOSP Extended(AEX) 5.7, I would recommend to try the latest MIUI 10 ROM too...
Thanks for sharing feedback

Reserruction Remix ,,,==> the best and most stable from all other roms ,,,???

Reserruction Remix os, the best and most stable rom from all,,,,???
Having a blast with #oxicOs since Viper and dot died
Enviado do meu Z2 Plus através do Tapatalk
Hello,
Most of the ROMs here are pretty stable as daily driver. Some are little better with some aspect of usage, like for example, in general, non treble ROMs better with heavy games like PubG compare to Treble. Now that doesn't mean treble ROMs suck with PubG, its just marginally lower grfx details for smoother playing exp.
Ever since introduction of treble, for last few months, I have been only with treble, so I can only comment on Treble ROMs. I have tried PE, AEX, AiCP, RR (Treble), crDroid and let me tell you all are equally good. However, having said that, few lose their edge time to time with some random update and it happens with all. So as an user, you will find your self switching between few time to time.
All these ROMs easily offer 6 hours 30 mins or more SoT for daily use (except heavy gaming). Game on them and SoT will come down based on how hard you are playing. Usually for heavy gamer, SoT is around 4 hours or bit less. All these ROMs have everything function, from finger print to Bluetooth.
At present, I am with RR 6.1. Switched from AiCP since at this point, for few previously weekly, AiCP is having some performance issue. Not that its slow, but RR feels little better compare to AiCP. Who knows, may be with next weekly, AiCP may out perform anything else.
Biggest point is, thanks to all these hardworking devs, I am spoiled with choices. So many of them. All are equally good but with some many options, I am spoiled to write comparison even for these slightest issues.
So its really hard or would be unfair to name single ROM to sum up the answer !!
Thanks.

Consider me a typical dumbass phone user. I strive for a functional device which allows me fast performance and all features should work fine. I don't like poking with things unless they are broken as like your question, I am looking for stability and I am willing to sacrifice bit of performance edge for that.
Now regarding improvement, what to compare with is the biggest question. If you want to compare this with Stock Indian ZUI 2.5 (Indian), its a heaven and hell of a difference !! But if you talk about other contemporary ROMs, there isn't much to separate them. It would come down to your personal choice of flavor .
Consider this buying a litter class super bike or super car in India. Anything you buy would be light years ahead of what average Joe is riding but when you want to chose between similar option, it would ultimately come down to personal preference !!
Regarding my setup, I am with the latest Version of RR 6.1 Treble (without any extra mod or kernel) + Open GApps Nano. Running Apex Launcher v3.3.3 along with Pixel Icon Pack (from Play Store). I have mentioned my issues or liking in that respective thread !!
Thanks.
Latest toxycOs.... 3.0

I am using Liquid Remix [8.1] [v9.1.4] [OFFICIAL] [08/10/2018][NON-TREBLE]
I listen to music and after installing viperfx magix module and modded you tube my requirement is met. Along with this I also use on application called "The Raging Beast KA" , see screenshot, which allows kernel level tweaking of sound ie increasing sound of left channel and right channel separately and it gives excellent sound. I also require volte as I use jio sim and net speed should be fast.
So the above are my requirements and everybody has their own requirements. All ROMs stable. But they differ on the following
1 heat. Some ROMs heat up
2 performance.
3 tweaks. Some ROMs contain more tweaks
4 volte. Some ROMs will not have volte
Installing ROMs are individual preferences and all ROMs are stable.

Guys,
Thanks for the feedback earlier. Bumping old thread to see if any update / revision in choices basis past 2-3 months?
Now that we have more or less final version of Oreo (though fortunately, some O ROMs are still getting security updates), the options are not likely to change further.
So far, have been using Jaguar Aug'18 build - worked quite well but in last few weeks seeing 10-12% battery drain overnight. Today am going to flash Oct'18 build to see if any changes.
CrDroiD is Best
i have used all oreo except RR..
I find CrDroid the best Rom of all times.
no issues at all.. be it SOT.. consistent 7-7.5 hours with moderate usage.. BT music play for 2-3 hours daily, phone calls for hour or so 1 hour of game play A8 & tekken.. all banking apps running including Tez..
Tons of customization. Built in adaway as well .. i dont think any feature is missing in this Rom. except 2.
1. Pocket detection - causes many failed FP.
2. auto call record - call record is present but u have to enable it in each call.
if some one with rom build knowledge can include this and update security patches then this would be a complete rom.
planning to try RR as dotos is giving very low SOT.. staying on that coz it has auto call record and pocket detect.

There are many Pie based roms for redmi 3s and there were many threads asking for best/stable Pie roms! And as anyone would guess and expect, there were many (different) replies further increasing the confusion. This poll will help aggregate the individual responses
So go ahead fellow land users, tell me which Pie based ROM according to your usage is stable in terms of performance, most of the features are working, have good bb along with some customization.
Pixel experience is pretty much stable and well performance
I have been here on this forum since 3 years and the roms with difr,nichcream and teammex sources(not with us now) are the best.....
currently using havoc os unofficial by weritos and this is arguably one of the best roms i have ever used on this device...it is just like liquid remix unofficial by difr but with added goodies of android pie and havoc os....Go for this rom and you wont have to look anywhere else...roms with other sources are slow..especially the reloaded roms and still they give average battery backup..i dont know why some sources follow standard miui cpu management and turn off 2 cpu big cores all the time....it is useless and just lags the system overall...there is no core turning off in nichcream sources..all the cores are active all the time except when battery percentage falls below 5-10%...just install kernel auditor and set min frequency to 422 and 345 for big and little cores and enjoy smoothest,stable and a good battery (8 hours sot)oriented rom!
Sidenote: If you are looking for a bugless,battery oriented rom (with double tap to wake) go for dot os by K7jhin..it is giving regularly more than 9 hours of sot..but ram management sucks

I tried PE but volte wasn't working.. I had to install jio4gvoice to do and receive calls n text. Now that is deal breaker for me coz jio4gvoice do not provide smooth n rich experience not to forget the battery it drains by running all the time

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try havoc os but I have not yet tinkered with kernel and overclocking cpu so will try that later after reading lil bit about them. If you know of any good thread/article providing prerequisites and step by step process of doing it, can you send that to me
