Suggestions for stable custom rom (help) - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

I would like to bring Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime 32/3 to life. It's still on stock MIUI 7 (V7.5.9.0.) Why? Because that ROM was really good and there was no need for update because everything was working OK. But now more and more apps requires a newer version of Android, so I need custom rom.
Anything stable from Android 8 and above will be OK.
I thought try with PixelExperience, but unfortunately they have just 11 version, no archive for older versions. At least I couldn't find it. So if that version is no good, can't try older one.
But I see there is PixelReloaded with 9 and 10 version still available.
Then there is ArrowOS, it's great thing that they still have all versions available for download, 9, 10 and 11.
I saw thread from @Atam2001 his experience with ROMs. Where he mentioned Nitrogen-OS-10 was great for him, and Superior OS was suggests as well as good ROM.
I do not looking nothing fancy, just something that is fluid and reliable.
Which rom and version you were very happy?

In case of 3GB variant you can go with FLOS 18.1 or Havoc 4.x or AEX A11 by Sairam. In my 2GB variant A11 unlike A10 is just too memory hungry for a reasonable multitasking experience. Havoc 3.11 based on A10 was really good. Fluid and bug free. I have been running FLOS 18.1 in land for several months without any issue.
If you need the best multitasking experience Pie ROMs with low RAM mod is the best and reasonably upto date option. In my 2GB device I had almost always 1GB RAM free. However other than Nichcream's LOS 16 build based on 4.9 kernel from late 2019 all the others are based on the stock 3.18 kernel and usually have quite a few bugs. I had tried many Pie ROMs based on 3.18 but was never satisfied until Q ROMs arrived with 4.9 kernel.

@amn1987 Thank you so much for reply
My idea was to start first with the lower android version. Because more people were working on development at the time.
So I tried with SuperiorOS Android 9 (20190824-0147).
The first problem was, system launcher was not working, I always get an error message. So, new launcher fixed the problem.
After two weeks of use everything was fine. Good battery life, wifi/mobile data OK, GPS, banking applications working, google cam OK.
Then sometimes it starts to reset himself. Or I couldn't turn it on. And date and time would be wrong. It doesn’t happen often but it's a sign to try something else.
Thanks for the details I will try something from your suggestion.

Forgot to mention that idle drain was mind bogglingly good in Q ROMs with 4.9 kernel, 0.1-0.15%/h almost always. In R ROMs, idle drain is a little higher at close to 0.3%/h. Does go as low as 0.1%/h but infrequently. 2G only, Sync off, Wifi/GPS off, BT on always but not paired constantly. Using NikGApps which has GMS Doze enabled.

To report back...
After SuperiorOS Android 9, I tried Havoc 3.11 based on Android 10. And it's much better. There is no random restarting, or problem with date/time like I had on SuperiorOS. Here everything working great! And all bank apps working with no problem, even there is no message that you using custom rom. Sairam did amazing job. There is a lot useful features, like app lock, double tap and so on...
After use MIUI based on Android 6, this is like a new phone.
Happy with HavocOS

Recently a new build of LOS 16 with 4.9 kernel was released by the dev "Cafebabe" on TG who nowadays seems to spearhead the development for land albeit most builds are seemingly unified builds also targeting riva, santoni etc. For my 2GB variant it could be the best option although Havoc 3.11 was very good as well.

I am honestly disappointed with how the battery works on custom roms.
I use camera recording (like a car video recorder) and on MIUI (stock) I can record 4 hours with minutes because that's what the battery allows.
But on most current custom roms, I don't even hit 3h, 2.5h on average. In addition, you can see the battery % drops faster and at 40% it can turn off as if it were 0%. And after a few minutes, it can be turned on and there is 20% or more of the battery. And I thought the battery was ending its life. But I flash the stock rom and it works like hassle ...

Have you tried Q/R ROMs based on 4.9 kernel? In particular the ones by Sairam like Fork LOS, Havoc etc. While I haven't tested video recording but otherwise battery backup is excellent. Just about a month ago 10+ hours during offline video playback. Battery goes down to low single-digits w/o any issue. BTW you could enable bypass charging to take the stress off of the battery and prolong it's longevity.

You know, the most important thing here is the use that uses a lot of batteries.
And here only the MIUI custom roms (miuiEU, Android 7.1.2, Android 9, although the battery in 9 also lose a little faster) are comparable.
A long time ago - nichcream roms somehow worked fine with the battery.
Anyway, I thought most of the new ones were good until I started using the camera intensively.
I have used his custom roms and others too, and I don't know what's wrong...
Everywhere the battery is melting (when i use the camera) in the eyes except the MIUI based roms.

Well video recording is pretty resource intensive. No wonder it drains the battery. I might check it out if a relatively cooler day is in the offing.

[Discussion] Zuk Z2 Plus - most stable / least buggy ROM for regular use

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 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.

Which version?

For you, what was the smoothest + most stable out of Android 7,8 and 9 roms for x722?

Hello all. I'm only concerned about finding a stable, fast and smooth rom (without major bugs) running android 7 or above for the x722, as it is my only device. Currently using Paranoid Android (PA, my very first custom rom installation) found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...aranoid-android-7-3-1-x722-elite-zl0-t3706478 and it is smooth as silk but battery consumption is too high when in standby and the rom has sadly been abandoned. Therefore looking for an alternative.
I'm simply afraid (based on what i read in threads) that the newer android 8 and android 9 roms may have lag after a few weeks and that the android 7 roms may have been discontinued with pending bugs (i read threads here and on zl0 rom threads in the larger pro 3 forum, based on their last post dates and unresolved questions for fellow x722 users) so i would be really really really grateful for any information/knowledge based on your experiences. Mention your Gcam version/name if you use it please, and what phone firmware you are on (mine came with 20s).
Just to sum up: I don't mind whether it is an android 7, 8 or 9 rom, i just want it to be stable, smooth, fast and free of major/crippling bugs (stable for everyday use). I don't want an eui based rom as eui does not have the 'reply within a notification feature' and grouped notifications found in vanilla android 7+. That feature allows me to view messages from multiple senders in whatsapp without opening the app and then reply to any of them which is super convenient! Also eui roms wouldn't support any Gcam as it is Android 6 based.
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experiences
Ps: reason i initially came looking for a custom rom was because my vendor 20s rom was awful at ram management, was ugly, lacked the wonderful notification reply features seen in Android 7 and above. And finally started lagging when typing in my keyboard app (Gboard)! PA was a revelation in how smooth & fast this phone could be
WARNING: I have a X727 zl1, not a X722 Zl0, check out if your phone version its compatible
For me, the most stable rom are Oreo's Rom.
I am using right now DotOS 2.4. non major issues.
Magisk 18.1
Dolby completely functional
Good battery
Beautiful UI
Gcam work perfectly
Lot of setting
BT/Wifi/Signal 4G-LTE work fine
Like you, I seek for battery and stability and I've had tried almost any Rom out there, Nougat, Oreo, Pie and MIUI
Nougat fault: Mic and Audio Issues and almost any Rom. Just last Omni was good but had kernel issue, Randomly shutdown few times at day.
Oreo: Very good mostly. Bootleggers its almost perfect, but had Bluetooth issue (cut sound when screen goes off)
But its very good option. Best for me, cDroid, DotOs, Bootleggers. Don't flash custom kernel on DotOS, won't boot and you must to flash Rom over.
Pie: I had a lot issue on Pie. Battery Drain mostly. Some Rom had issue to get Dolby Funtional and some Magisk Module disappeared after reboot. For example in AICP I cant get funtional Dolby and Gcam at same time. If Dolby work, Gcam get infinite focus, after reboot, Gcam work fine but Dolby disappeared... crazy stuff... Also, (I dont know if that was fixed) screen cast is no possible on Pie Roms.
MIUI: its a little messy and need some tweaks to get good working. Had warming issue and Gcam had issue to work. Also is not multilingual (I speak spanish).
Good luck...

Thank you so much for giving such a detailed response! ^_^ I'll look into compatibility with my x722 (zl0) but it is good to know the various issues on the different ROMs, and now i know which oreo ROMs to check compatibility with mine. Thank you again for sharing your experience, it'll help others on zl1 who stumble upon this thread too
It'd be nice if this became a discussion thread where people continue to share their experiences

I don't have any of those problems on latest AICP 14 build.
Dolby digital+ and some different GCam ports working without problem and battery draining is not bad really (about 6hrs. SOT with 4G and relatively light usage).
Also screen cast (Miracast) is working alright.
AICP Pie rom is the best, I'm using it for a year now.

How is your battery consumption on it? Got any performance lag an year later compared to when it was flashed?
Thanks
AOSIP Pie is the best ROM I used, very fast, I have 7/8 hours of sot without greenify or any mod for battery, fingerprint is very fast too, great performance

[POLL] Pie based stable ROM

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

Best OnePlus 6T ROM?

Hi!
I use OnePlus 6T since February and I have never had any problem/issue but I would like to try something new on my device, maybe gaining in battery life and performance, as well as appeareance. Could you suggest me any ROM? Main key is that should be stable, then the other aspects I've written before.
Thanks in advance

Bootleggers. Or AOSiP. But in terms of Battery Life, SkyDragon is the Best. I suggest you flash them one by one and see which one suites you
1 SkyDragon = 8/10
2 HAVOC-OS = 7/10
3 Bootleggers. = 6.5/10
8 months of experience and I am still on it

I never used SkyDragon as Daily Driver. Ran it for a few times when it was maintained by HolyAngel. I haven't even flashed the New Version yet. According to a lot of people, SkyDragon is best for battery life. But Stock OOS + Omega Kernel is also good. It's about personal preference. I really don't like the UI of Omni so I Use Bootleggers as my Daily with Illusion Kernel. I have no problems hitting 7-8 Hrs Screen On with a 24 Hours Standby. With my normal usage.

I can only speak about 9013 OOS because that's when I flashed skydragon. Yes, compared to the older stock OOS release skydragon has better battery. Keep in mind I believe the superb battery life comes from the kernel which you could flash separate to another ROM.
I have no issues with battery life and can't convince myself to switch because the gesture based navigation on OOS is superior to all other options I have seen. I have not tried a third party rom in a while though so no idea if they have improved on that front, but my opinion is that if you use gesture based navigation flash a kernel onto OOS to improve battery life but enjoy the fact that OOS is probably the best OEM Stock rom available to android users.
Another issue with 3rd party roms I have consistently had on the 6T when I have tried them is that when connected to bluetooth in my car, my car does not recognize a cell connection from the phone. This prevents me from dialing out via the car(though I can still accept incoming calls). This can be annoying having to pick up my phone to dial out while driving. I have not seen a way to fix this issue and it is probably a bigger reason than the gesture navigation keeping me on stock OOS. I drive a 2017 Toyota Camry for what it is worth.
Thanks for the suggestions. But which ROM has more features and customizations regardless of battery life?
I have been in the same boat and have decided to stick with OOS for a while. I found an article or 2 about removing bloat ware on xda, did that. Rooted and unlocked. Used Titanium and AppOps to restrict app permissions and put google on a leash. Downloaded the Pixel 3 camera. Installed OxyTweaker for Magisk ( also on xda )module and my battery has lasted 35+ hours on a charge with moderate use.
Also removed the OOS spyware and OOS bloat.
I may try Lineage with Micro G if and when they get around to an official release to see if my core, must have apps will work without Lord Google, but I am leaning toward keeping OOS now that it is trimmed down and the battery life is insane.
I tried RR, aex, omni, oos, aosip, viperOS, siberiaOS...
And the best one for me is treskmod. The most smooth, the better on battery and it has enough personalization for me.
I like asoip now mainly like it better than omni for working video calling and bromite.
There is no Best rom. There are different roms out there that suits the users needs. If you want a rom that's simple use a rom the lineage or if you like tons of options try Havoc os. To me its all up to the user and what the user wants and is looking for in a rom.. There are a few roms out there check them out and try them see what suits you..

Is there any fully stable Android 10 ROM?

I need a regular daily driver ROM that has long lasting battery, smooth in UI, stock like? Camera should be fully working.
Don't play video games on this. So gaming performance dosen't matter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Evolution X 4.0 - i recomended.
If you're talking about GCam, you'll have to play among different builds, but this isn't the perfect time to do that, since their developers seem to be in vacations. I suppose they'll go back in February or later.
You can check ROMs like EvolutionX 4.0 (I'm using this one, also includes RadioFM), as well as HavocOS 3.0, they're the most recent ones at this time and include most of the current fixes around.
You can also check Pixel Experience or LineageOS 17.1, and there you have DerpFest, MSX, RevengeOS 3.1 and others. All of their developers are pretty active and in overall, at least since November, things are getting polished and getting perfect, faster than before...
I don't know... Perhaps at the beginning it was quite complicated since Mi A1 hasn't an official Android 10 firmware or kernel, and developers had to find a way to build from near nothing.
Hello!
At this moment,no custom ROM is bug-free or to have the best battery life.Lineage OS 17 should be a very good Android 10 custom ROM,but it isn't officially released.Until then,you can wait or experiment with other ROMs.
