Suvi Rom V13-Rhea review

Hello Mr.Suhas,
Thanks for ur awesome rom. I have been with ur rom from V1 to V13 and want to express my feelings not just by hitting thanks button
Review:
We all know Suvi Rom.We all have Experienced it once.But have we got its best taste?
After a day of use I bring to u the detailed Suvi Rom V13 Rhea in 2 partsetailed Decription and Quick Format(Pros,Cons,Advantages over other roms,Disadvantages over other roms,Suggestions for next version)
Part 1
Looks and Quality:
Boot Logo:
Its the default white canvas sketched image.The jellybean default. Its common in every rom which features JB
Bootanimation:
As the rom is based on aroma installer, it features 2 boot animations.
1st the Suvi default S4 bootanimation
2nd is the 4.3 google boot animation
I advise everyone for the time being yo stick to S4 bootanimation becoz the 4.3 animation is scaled up and looks pretty bad
Lockscreen:
As u power ur device, some of u who have used Samsung phones like Note2 and S3 in past will see the similar interface.
The 1st thing that comes to our mind is the Ripple Lock Screen.Its the S3 or Note 2 ripple lock screen. It has the shortcuts at the below like phone,camera,etc to serve a quick purpose of opening those apps from lockscreen itself
Phone Interface:
As we go inside, we see the multi DPI Samsung S4 launcher. Its fast, its smooth and looks good on device at the startup.
Then we see the S4 Accuweather widget. Now u all can guess that the rom has the Samsung user interface by default
Status Bar:
As the rom features Aroma Installer, u have 3 options of Status Bar and its toggles.
The 1st option is 4.2 status bar with green note2 like toggles and a brightness slider
The 2nd option is Just the green toggles with clear memory
The 3rd option is Lidroid Toggles with Green Themes(I stick with this though)
For the time being choose 1st or 2nd option as lidroid toggles has some missing features such as changing the default sim in dialer or message app which leaves me disappointed.
The other problem is if u switch on the mobile data, by default the 1st sim is used and u wont get option like before.The temporary solution for this is to go to sim management and choose the default sim for mobile data
The battery has been changed to Samsung Green like but i dislike it, the previous blue one was really really cool
Task Manager:
The task manager is samsung like but is really buggy.
It doesnt show all the active apps and cannot clear or stop them.
But as i see it, not many of us use task manager to clear apps, so its not a real use app but like a cool Samsung based task manager
Recent Apps:
It is by default the JB like but if u have chosen the 4.2 status bar option then it will be HTC like
Settings:
It looks cool and the icons has been changed as well
If u chose the Lidroid Toggles option in status bar it will have Suvi Heart Arrangement option in the 1st. There are other features too but explore that urself.
The only problem here is that the data usage graph is holo or so as to say it doesnt show the graph
Dialer:
It is the themed Samsung Dialer Interface.
It looks grt and is better than the stock one for JB
U also get the swipe to receive calls like S4 and Note2 which is better than the stock one too
CONCLUSION-1: The rom has really been famous for its looks and quality.It feels really calm when using the device.
Everyone using the V13 will feel as if the phone has been reconstructed by Samsung
Performance:
I must tell everyone that this is tested under using Seeder 2.0 in aggressive profile
Boot Speed:
The 1st time the device boots is more becoz the rom is deodexed but after that the boot times are significantly less ie 10-15 secs
Ram Management:
I have installed nearly 150 apps and 8-9 widgets of contact,flipborad,google chrome bookmarks, weather widgets,etc and the device still holds its own by giving me 120-140 ram when i kill apps using Gemini Task Killer
Smoothness:
The device is very smooth and by that i mean really really smooth.
The S4 Touchwiz Launcher is really a ram eater and laggy sometimes so i have removed it and made Nova Prime as deafult launcher
Games:
High end games have no lags at all.
The games i have tested are:
Asphalt 7:Heat
Temple Run
Temple Run 2
Temple Run:Brave
Temple Runz
GTA Vice City
NFS Most Wanted
Frontline Commando
Frontline Commando-DAY
The Amazing Spider Man
I am a heavy gamer after all and still like the phone.
No heating issue is present anymore
Navigation System:
The GPS still doesnt fix for me.It may be just my problem but still it doesnt get fix
Sound & Media:
The sound is really high by default.
The stock music player is not that grt and u can remove it and install Walkmann
The Video Player is not that grt and u can install MX Player from market freely
The only problem in this category remains as the default ringtones and notifications are very small.
As a rom of 258 MB, this must not be the case
Internet:
The internet is really fast in 2G as well as 3G.
Unlike others i had no problem in speeds and other disconnecting problems.
But the problem here is that the Tethering is not working but as we see it it will be corrected in next update
USB OTG:
Unlike the previous versions of Suvi Rom, the V13 brings USB OTG mount by default and does not require external apps
I have used a fat32 formatted USB and it really works
Battery Backup:
I will update this day after tomorrow becoz 38% of battery still in my phone after 4-5hrs of gaming
CONCLUSION-2:
By performance it is the best suited rom till date i have used. Many may not agree with me but i challenge them to use this V13 of this rom for a day, if they r still not satisfied then as their reward i will remove this thread. So shall we test?
Part 2
Pros:
Grt Lockscreen(Samsung Like)
Good S4 Animation
Aroma Installer
Ad-Free Option
Grt Status Bar and toggles(Samsung Like)
Grt Samsung JB dialer with swipe to answer or reject
Grt UI
Very Smooth
Modded Settings
High Sound
Good Camera option in aroma
DPI Option in aroma
Good UI
Battery Backup is good(Still this will be updated day after tomorrow with accurate readings)
Cons:
No OTA update included
Not many options in Aroma Installer(Just 4 or 5)
Buggy Wifi Tethering
Faulty Data Usage Menu
Suggestions for Nxt Version:
i)Include OTA
ii)Add new features like simplistic framework, og battery mod, gravity box, 3 mint frameworks or xthemes,4.2 binaries)
iii)Beats audio driver and Walkmann are better than stock music player
iv)Launcher really lags sometimes and it would be better if u could provide us with option like Nova in aroma itself.
That way people like me who dont love tw can save some ram.
As u know tw is really heavy on ram though and after restarting still takes more ram.
Xperia Launcher can be provided as other option too
v)Bootanimation is grt but the samsung galaxy S4 words below the animating S picture doesnt looks good.Micromax Canvas2 in its place would be cool and genuine.
The other thing is the dashes above the IV shines periodically making it look like a glitch.
vi)Google 4.3 bootanimation is scaled up and doesnt look good. Pls provide the stock 4.3 bootanimation ending with ur S as Suvi Rom Signature
vii)The current battery icon is really bad. Pls change it and restore the Quasar icon
viii)Pls give us a lite version of ur rom if u dont want to include mods like above said in 2nd point of suggestions and include Nova Launcher
ix)The media files have become old. Pls provide new ones from other devices becoz we can afford some more MB for downloading for new media files
x)Sony Mobile Bravia Engine3 and ClearAudio+ would have been good choices
FINAL CONCLUSION:
The rom is very stable and can be said to be a permanent rom for MMX A110, and for the tethering problem, it will be corrected in the next update, wont u Mr.Suhas?
Its Samsung Styled and is constantly improved(What more do u even want anyway???)
The rom has come a long way since V1 and is constantly updated in every month to remove the bugs.The Rom Maker Mr.Suhas has really made the rom from scratch and really earns my respect(urs too) for creating a wonderful rom. Hope U Like It in ur device(Which u will....)
and the most important question:
WHO AM I?
I am just a boy with ideas like u who is reading this.
The only diffrence is i am a really lot and lot and lot and lot of experience in roms.
How u ask?
My experience in flashing:
MMX- A50(my 1st),A52,A54,A56,A75,A87,A90s,A100,A110(my 2nd),A110q,A116.(thats just in mmx)
Karbonn - A1+,A21,S5(not much in this group)
Sony-any Xperia line smartphone u can find in the market(done them all,well nearly all but u understand the mangnitude right?)
Samsung-Nearly every smartphone in its galaxy line.
HTC-None(really not even 1)
and how to believe me?
I am just a student in 12th CBSE and nearly 10000 students study in my school and most of them possess samsung and sony phones. So after i modded my a50 with transparent notification bar and swipe to remove notification. Everyone started wondering how then i explained about roooting and flashing and i nearly rooted everyones handset and flashed them. So yeah now u believe why i wrote a lot and lot and lot of experience but i am new to xda
Dont Forget to hit thanks not to me but to Mr.Suhas in his Suvi Rom page.
Head over now and start downloading and explore the android dev in u alongside MMX A110 with Suvi Rom V13-Rhea in it
Why u ask and say u r fine with ur current rom?
The reason is rom is the best MMX A110 can get for the date and will be updated in the future to remove bugs(if there are any) and brings plethoria of features in it and will bring even more in the future.
For those who dont feel good after tasting the V13 in their MMX A110, i will remove the thread for them as a reward

Grt Rom Ofcourse
The cons are for mainly advanced people who like me want more from their device.
So for general people who dont want much this is a grt rom
Everyone who use Suvi Rom and want to express their feelings for
Mr.Suhas pls reply below with what u like and what u dont(mostly problems) and suggestions for making the rom better.
I want to make this the best rom that can be utilised by everyone daily and happily and to make it to the top, what people want must be the top factor(this is how it is in Omega Rom,for note2,s2,s3,s4)
So keep those comments coming.......

Hmm..thats really cool..I liked the review much. Appreciate your efforts.
I know there are some glitches and bugs.
In V13, I have tried to solve some like Aroma and USB Otg fix, task manager....
Lets continue our efforts in making the ROM more awesome and complete.

Alright

Sorry for the inconvinience
Sorry to tell u all this but i really dont believe in quadrant or antutu scores. They can be made very high with a little tweak, so the scores doesnt really show the real time, real use performance and we also forget:
'Every device is diffrent from other even if by a little fraction'.
After so much of flashing, i have atleast learnt that the feel of the device is the actual performance. Why? Ur antutu or quadrant may be high but if ur device lags at some point, is that score useless?
The tests r only to provide the limitation of a device so that we can compare it to another device and can choose the better one. But r we all at xda not trying hard to surpass the limitation?dont u agree?
For the time being I recommend Suvi V13 as the permanent rom for A110,
it just has tethering problem which can be corrected with a patch too or will be corrected in nxt version.
So hw many of u agree with me, regarding the score statement that is?
And my rom is not fully covered-battery backup is left for more accuracy

yes ur right

Hi bsuhas,
Please fix the TETHERING issues foremost as this is the basic bug i am facing since V12. Other than this your rom is awesome in looks and feel. I had tried the alternate solution clockword tether but that too didn't seem functioning good, sometimes connects and many times wont. Hope to see some patch fix and i wish to see no Known issues section (meaning that all are fixed) in your next version. All the best :fingers-crossed:

I was using lewa rom. It sucks. It has very low ram left. I was not even able to play temple run. The looks and presentation of the lewa rom was awesome. But the ram was hell of a problem. It took 2 days for me to totally get rid of the different recovery in it..

give review
Please give review for bumblebee rom... Heard its awesome

for a116 help
can i use suvi rom 13 rhea in a116 canvas hd. ? already downloaded your rom just waiting for installation.

I have given my father the A110(for daily usage and battery tests), so tethering is not that needed but when needed, it will not be funtional.
And i also want the dual sim, dual ringtone setting but that was in ICS i think or lower suvi rom had it but still it is now the default rom in my A110. Anyway, not moving from this rom but will test other roms soon

Tried trial and error ways and found tethering work fine with clockwordmod tether app.
Connecting steps:
1. Open tether app on PC and click start.
2. Open tether app on phone and click to run tether.
3. Now connect the phone to PC. Connection establishes perfectly.
In case of intermediate disconnection, exit tether app on PC and phone and reiterate steps.
Note : After performing Step 1 quickly complete Step 2 and 3 within 1-3seconds. Else the connection won't establish as noticed by me.

I think that [ROM][4.2.2][A9][Unofficial] LiquidSmooth-JB-v2.9 (26/08/13) is the best ROM for our device ,trust me i have tried all custom ROM's available for our device , and finally this is it ! Reasons ?
It is smooth , fast , and light ,when i stop all uselles app i have over 200 MB Ram , it is good for gaming , i play games like CSR Racing ,Need For Speed Most Wanted , Blood and Glory 2,,Asphalt 8 and ohers , Swap SD compatible , Halo , and the most important thing for me is so battery friendly ,as i said i use to play games ,a lot ! and i have never had less than 1 day , with gaming,some wifi and 30 mins of calls.
[ROM][4.2.2][A9] Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 PA.AOKP.CM (23/08/13) it is another good rom for our device but it is not so good for gaming .

@CristianCRS This Rom seems even to me pretty cool...but: photos taken whit stock camera app cannot be saved in external sd. Do you know if this thing can be fixed in someways?
Thank you so much.

carbon rom
u should try out carbon rom :good:

Indeed i forgot about this ,for me it manifested in other way ,when i shoot a photo ,it takes a photo ,it saves it but i couldnt take another photo because the previous remained freezed on camera screen ,so i instaled titanium backup i unnistaled gallery ,and with this camera,and i installed a new one ,now i have snap camera with gallery because it have so much options ,but it will work any other camera app like Camera JB ,or Camera ICS, even Sphere Camera ,and Focal (great camera app but it seems that video recording is not working)

Thank you so much Cristian, I will try another camera app. Another issue: I have about 40 apps installed, most of them are greenyfied with geenify app. my free ram (even after cleaning all the apps running in background) is no more than 40-50 mb.

About this...until now i had no time to install so many apps like you ,usually i use just some strictly essential apps and games ,in total i think i have 23 apps and games installed ,i use swap sd ,and link sd ,i don't know if it will work for you ,but me after i use an app and i consider that i don't need it to run in backround ,i go to System Settings--> Apps---> and ALL tab ,i search the app ,click on it ,and then Force Close ,this methood i use on every process or program that is not neccesary to android system . And like this i have no problem with ram or unwanted battery drains.

Actually I'm using clean cm 10.1 alpha9 enhanched with TopDroid's Megaboost 1.4.
Greenyfied some apps and using SD Increase.
Not so customizable as other roms but, for now, the smoothest and faster ever.
Antutu 4 (last version) gave me 3959 as top score.
All apps working well
Free RAM always about 100/120 mb.
Battery with 3g alwys connected and medium phone usage lasts about 20hrs.
Cheers

Last night i decided to update to Clean CM 10.2 ,JB 4.3 ,and i think is the best ROM for now ! But the problem is that swap sd doesn't work ... for now ,maybe this will be fixed soon

Yeah, Ive upgraded to 10.2, too. Seems ok for now, just one issue: after replacing dsp and apollo with acid sounmod and walkman I noticed that walkman is not working. It gets open but doesn't play music files. Any solution? Maybe a walkman version for 4.3 is available? BTW great rom.
EDIT: reinstalled Apollo. I cannot find any walkman apk running on 4.3 for now.

I still not have 10 posts to reply on developer threads ,so How is working for you Focal Cam? especially video recording(for me is not working),and about walkman i don't use it so i can't help you ,sorry .

Focal crashed the first time I opened it, as like as the stock camera. At a second attempt they both worked well, so I'm gone for keeping the stock one and uninstalling focal. Dunno about video recording.
EDIT: at 480p is good, but at 720p it seems to watch a slideshow.

I choose the same methood , in focal video recording was not working at all.

What about Apollo? It seems to be joking with me.

BLINDLY go for liquidsmooth by lolation.. best rom for our device till now..!! for camera issue you can try any other camera app instead. I found it better than carbon.

Samsung galaxy ace II (GT-I1860) NA1 [Stock] JB 4.1.2 tips + tricks.

**14-03-2014 Update.
A while back i asked about a higher os version for the galaxy ace 2 (GT-I1860), today while searching around i found a really stable android 4.1.2 version for our phone with touch wiz and a ui that works without the screen going black and blurry like the XXBM (oldest JB version for our galaxy ace 2)! i went to samfirmware and downloaded the latest one (mine is a January 2014 relese for the UK NA1)
its 100% better than the older MK2 version for mor info and to download the NA1 for the samsung galaxy ace 2 go to samfirmwares (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/)
and type:GT-I8160
I finally found the biggest flaw on the samsung galaxy ace 2 the lagg is caused by memory consumption and background processes go to developer options in your settings and set background processes to 4 and i garuntee youll see imediet effect if anyone can make or has a perminant way to set background prosseses to 4 even after reboot please contact me id be glad to find out how.
apps that slow down the jb:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google-chrome,(google .inc) after the unistallation of google chrome ive found out that my drawer and home screens are extremly faster with transitions i think this is because of its huge memory needs for me 152mb witch is just a nogo for our ace II,
my keyboard is 100% faster and it can now keep up with my fingers during typing messages and text boxes. and on a whole no lags.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iron man 3 the official game (gameloft), i am a huge fan of this game and ironman and i also have it on my tablet but quite sadly its not worth the ram & space hogging on the ace II i mean come on 1.1 gig my phone is 1.2! :laugh:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Turbo launcher (PHONEMETRA), although it works perfectly fine on my S4 and tab but sadly its too slow of a launcher app on the ace 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helpful apps:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
avg anti-virus, helps detect viruses in apps and even lets you remotly lock/shout/unlock/locate your phone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
screenlock (night vision cam), the most used and dameged key on every smart-phone is the power key to ensure minimal damege on your phone install this app and on launch it imedietly locks your screen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
screen timeout toggle (chemdroid), we currently dont have the option to set the timeout toggle to "never", screen timeout toggle lets you set the time out limit of your phone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smart battery monitor (andreas auer), lets you monitor all the important battery stats inc. temprature, percent, health, type and tech.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
titanium back up *root* (titanium track), lets you safely back up your phone but does Require root.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smart lockscreen protector (nez droid), protects your lock screen from power button menu.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
system app remover (jumobile), lets you remove system apps does Require root.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
App lock (do mobile lab) prevents unwanted acsses to you private apps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smart voice recorder (smartmob development), brings the most out of your mic and scince the recording app on our ace 2 in not all that good might be a good replacement sound recorder. (cant ensure that its ad free )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and tricks :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rooting, brings the most out of your android device you might want to consider rooting your ace 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
switching off developer options when your not using them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
switch off wifi, bt, screen rotation, gps, sound, mobile data, 3g and 2g and sync when not in use as these do a great job at hogging battery
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try lower your brightness at all times, on almost all smartphones the screen is the biggest battery hog lowering the brigtness means lowering the battery usage by the screen.
I'm trying to solve the galaxy ace 2 problems and lags so any infomation and help is greatly apriceated thanks for your help

Most JB Odin packages contain kernel, system+hidden, baseband and bootloader so you'll have to wipe data (or flash 3-part firmware)

Hey OP, everything's just great! But still the battery issue isn't fixed yet, at Night it dropped from 55% to 32% without any usage or Wi-Fi on. I hope you'll soon come up with an update as you mentioned. Cheers, rest everything's smooth and great, no delay with the hardware buttons too!
Regards, MR.

Still there are some problems
It is been great work devs
I have tried using this ROM lookwise it is an awesome one working good but only there are some issues that are came across are :
I am using phils recovery.
I have install just ROM without updates it worked fine.Asap I have install only update no bettery workaround it started to show FC in all cases like UI, OOES at boot time etc.
Sound it bit low but can be adjusted from Engineering mode
Battery consumption is high even after applying Battery workaround
After sometime playstore giving error authentication failed even if I am logged in using usual account of Gmail
Other thing works fine
People who are using and installed successfully can suggest which recovery you are using

Overall performance like miui ROM...
Gaming OK .. High end games not recomeded.. I installed asphalt 8 latest at low graphic it run ok with little lag... Daily use messaging n all good...
FC sometime happens . when restart it takes lot time to load all things..
Sent from my MICROMAX A117 using XDA Free mobile app

First look is awesome. Performance is gr8. Sound is a bit low. Camera is showing 8mega pixels only, but still fine for this monster. Battery is draining pretty fast. Charged 100% and device was locked. Havent used for 4 hrs 30min. and battery was down to 67%.
One thing that i have observed is :
In audio profiles there are two audio enhancements
1.BesAudEnh
2.BesLoudness
If i enable both, close settings and reopen again the BesLoudness is going disabled automatically.
EDITED : While on call if we try to use keypad the other caller was able to listen beep sounds which is not happening while on other call. Just came to know.
Hope in next update sound boosting and battery draining will be fixed.
Thanks a lot for your grate efforts in presenting this ROM.

ROM is smooth and quite responsive, games worked well for me. Good job @Siddhesh.K15 :good:
but there were some issues like:
1. Battery drain, although device doesnt heatup still drains very fast even after applying battery tweaks. Also i noticed that cpu is not going into deep sleep mode, maybe thats the reason for battery drain.
2. Gravitybox(KK) crashes.
3. Camera: rear is 8mp & front is vga and HDR doesn't seem to work, force closes (tried other third party apps too)
4. The equiliser in Fusion app doesn't work, means the effects don't get applied.
Hope all this get fixed in next update.

thanks to the devs for such a awesome rom
pretty smooth
awesome UI
no lags
sound is a bit low
only bug is battrey drain...charged 100% yest night...in the morning it ws 60% ( wifi was on )

Thanks for your review. Battert drain is still issue so we have provided the patch to reduce it to some extent. Gravitybox wont work as it is for pure aosp roms and this is themed rom. And the 3 rd and 4 th are purely hive issue we will look forward to make hive ota updates compatible with our device

Well the FC you face is becasue you flashed all zips at once . I have alredy mentioned to first flash rom then let it boot to system and do inistial setup google and all. Then again come back to recovery and flash update patch.

Poco x3..dynamic Refresh rate switching advice?

Hey, I've been using Poco X3 NFC for around 2 months now..and the refresh rate switching bugs me..when there is slight stuttering and slow animations.
Thx to XDA now through set it application, ive set it to 90hz for most of the time..but still there is some stuttering felt when u scroll the home screen of the launcher slowly..or the phone settings application..or gallery..sometimes chrome too..rest is smooth..can anyone suggest a fix? Also note that when I restart my device, then for 2 or 3 days it runs buttery smooth as.i wished it did constantly.. but after that the stuttering and slow animations appear through normal use..rest performance is fine during gaming and social media scrolling..but I don't like the dynamic Refresh rate switching..I wish it was set to permanent 90 Hz Instead of 120hz..

Sounds like you installed a lot of bloat on your phone. I would advise to search your app list for power hungry behaviour (always running in background, disabled battery optimizations, etc.) or even for suspicious and malicious spyware like Twitter and Facebook.
If you find such apps, remove them and try again. I'm sure the stuttering will vanish.

Thanks for replying..man but I checked and I don't have any add issue..and no bloatware except one cod game..Facebook or YouTube and Instagram..and I've restricted their activities..plus the ram is 6gb of which 3gb is available mostly..due to mui being a heavy ui, are u using Poco x3 as well? Man I wish there was another suggestion which I could try to make the stuttering vanish, and I think the stuttering issue is there due to dynamic Refresh rate switching..it's software issue on poco's part..waiting for more tips..here as I want to get this stuttering to vanish..

I use POCO X3 NFC surya with OctaviOS (Android 11, AOSP) with firmware version 12.0.3.0. I set static refresh rate to 120Hz and it is as smooth as butter. Have no stuttering at all. If you are interested in what exactly I did, read this comment.
P.S.: I have no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or whatever installed.

Ahan man ?so you're using custom ROM..yes that's nice..can you share an ss here of how it looks and how's the experience compared to mui..ik it would be much more stable than this heavy skin.i don't hate mui but if I could get more smoothness then that would be amazing ..at the moment man I won't custom flash for Rom just now but maybe after several months..and updates if things do not get better I will..any tips for dynamic Refresh rate switching though man.? If I want to use the stock mui ..I'm on version 12.4 and Surya model..

I never used MIUI. I instantly flashed the custom ROM, as soon as I was allowed to. Before that, the phone was just laying around, waiting to be flashed. I have no idea what spyware this Xiaomi software has, so I refrained from using it all. That said, if you don't do extensive backups, then your data will be deleted on flash anyway, so why would I bother using the stock ROM for 7 days, just to remove it afterwards, anyway.
That said, I already heavily customized all looks, so potential screenshots wouldn't show how the custom ROM would look, instead it would only show how my personal customizations look, so no point in showing screenshots of that. Additionally, the parts that aren't customizable, like the Settings App, just looks like a stock Android 11 Settings App, I guess.
Finally, if you want to know more about OctaviOS, you can check out the thread I mentioned earlier. If you get to the first post of the thread I gave you my comment from, then there will be an explanation on OctaviOS and its feature set.

Right man..I respect that choice of yours using custom ROM..and tbh I think I'd do the same but only after some months.. I'm thinking that maybe future updates..and mui 13 next year would solve the trick..so got my fingers crossed..but when and I will flash my phone using a custom ROM..I'd definitely keep this OctaviOS in mind..thanks man
