I changed my phone from mi 4i to mi 6, so i was about to give this phone to friend. But she not really technically inclined, per say. Currently my mi 4i has miui 8.0, but it is kind of unstable, super laggy at times and bad battery performance.
I was looking at most stable miui rom from xiaomi.eu as a permanent ROM. She loves miui so I dont want to flash cm based ROM. Appreciate anyone experiences in custom miui ROM.
Old version is fine, as long as it is most stable
In my opinion, Miui 7.1 or 7.2 from official site is the best in terms of performance and stability. Try it out

Miui 7 is marshmallow? Official site means xiaomi.com? I presume .eu vs .com is the same except chinese bloatware isnt? All those firmwares and drivers will be the same? Or there will be differences?
No official marsmallow is available for our device. I was talking about the official xiaomi website. not the eu one
HI! As per my opinion, you should gift it to her with MIUI7 stable ROM (Android 5.0.1)
On the other hand, if she wants to use Android 7.1.2 then install AOSP extended official 4.2 (Android 7.1.2). Only its in built FM app does not work but it can be enabled with the third party FM app.
You have to do some manual settings and work in that AOSP Ext official ROM.
1) Remove inbuilt Magisk tool, FM and camera app with LInk2SD
2) Install Snapdragon camera, All in one tool box (It has Best cleaner & startup management tools), sweet selfie camera and Spirit2 FM (Requires ROOT & Use Official superSu)

You have to only teach her that, "Do not grant ROOT access to untrusted or unofficial apps".

which is the best custom rom for mi4i with good camera , better battery life and reduce heating
MIUI itself, is already a great ROM, it provides better battery management.
But since the lacks of official stable ROM for MI4i, u can always try things out.
My reccomendations are:
1. CM 12
2. Infinitive OS (Daily Driver)
Just experiment,
cheers.
Best Custom ROMs for Android
LineageOS
LineageOS is a well-known name in the Custom ROM category. If you have ever used custom ROMs on any Android device, then you must have heard the name of the CyanogenMod. In 2016, the developer of CyanogenMod ROM stopped the development of CyanogenMod ROM, but later they released the CyanogenMod ROM with a new name named LineageOS. So LineageOS is not new to the custom ROM category. A LineageOS is one of the best and No.1 ROM because the ROM is available for the wide range of Smartphones. The Custom ROM is made by the most prominent developer’s team and supports the community.
LineageOS official android Pie update is released for many devices. If we talk about the feature of the ROM, LineageOS comes with little bit customization yes the customization is limited on the LineageOS. If you want a fully stable version of LineageOS, then install the official and Nightly build of the LOS ROM. However, the Android Pie Update of LineageOS ROM released for many devices but currently, most of them are Unofficial. So you may get minor bugs and issues in the ROM. Overall the performance of the stable update of LineageOS is mind-blowing. LineageOS supports 200+ devices, so I hope your device will be included in the list.
Pixel Experience ROM
ixel Experience is the new Rom in the custom ROM category, but this Pixel Experience has gained popularity in a very short time. PE ROM is based on AOSP ROM, with Google Gapps included. As the name suggests the ROM exactly looks like and work like the Google Pixel ROM. ROM comes with the latest Gapps, so Google Pixel launcher, wallpaper, ringtones, fonts, and boot animation are built in this ROM.
If we talk about the Pixel Experience ROM performance, the PE Rom works very smoothly on any android device. Personally, I tried the Pixel Experience ROM on my Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 5, Zenfone Max Pro M1, Redmi Note 5 Pro. Apart from that, you can get the full Google Pixel Experience in this ROM. If we talk about the customization the ROM support some basic customization like the Theme, always on display, Pixel blue accent color, etc. Like the LineageOS, PE ROM does not support the wide range of devices. However, if you are a Xiaomi device user, then it is likely that pixel ROMs are available for your device. Apart from that unofficial update is available for many Android devices but you may face some issues and bugs on the unofficial ROM.
CrDroid ROM
crDroid is designed to improve the customizability, performance, and reliability of the stock Android ROMIf you have ever used the Resurrection Remix ROM then you must know the RR Rome’s Customization option. Just like the Resurrection Remix ROM the crDroid also support the High level of customization. CrDroid Support the Status bar, Quick Settings, Lock Screen, Buttons, Navigation, Sound, Recent Screen Customization. Currently, the ROM support the 90+ devices and 30+ devices support the android Pie updates. With CrDroid, you not only get many customizations, but it also offers you real pixel experience. The android Pie update of the crDroid comes with the Google Gcam Camera app. , So if you want to tweaks with your Android device, then the crDroid ROM is for you.
Havoc-OS
The next rom in the list is Havoc-OS. ROM is becoming popular day by day and supports many Android devices. The stable version which running on android Pie released for many android devices. The Havoc OS also support the lots of customization like the CrDroid ROM. Apart from customization the Battery backup and the Network of the ROM is still better than the other android Pie based custom ROMs. I tried this ROM on my Zenfone Max Pro M1, and the ROM works very perfectly on it. The Performance of the ROM is outstanding. The customization is limitless in the Havoc OS ROM. You can select the Theme, Customize the Notification Panel, Animations, and so on. Overall the ROM is perfect in all terms if you want a feature pack rom then once try out the Havoc ROM on your android device.
AOSP Extended ROM
AOSP Extended ROM is an aosp based custom ROM which provides you the Stock UI along with some customization option. As the name suggests, the aosp source code directly builds the ROM. The ROM is little bit look like the Pixel Experience ROM because the customization is limited in this ROM. However, the ROM support the substratum Theme engine which completely changes the looks of your device. The Network connection and the battery backup of the ROM are good. AOSP ROM provides you a full lag free and smooth experience. The AOSP developers continue updates their OS and which is a plus point of this ROM. However, all the above ROMs are also regularly updated by the developers. The AOSP Rom also support the forum support. AOSP extended ROM currently supports almost the all smartphone manufacturer device.

Thanks for the rom, I'll test soon =)
video call working?
If anyone tested here are some important questions I'd like to seek answers for.
-Has custom kernel support improved since 2018?
I've tried a few miui based custom roms including Xiaomi EU. It is true they were Nougat based but miui roms were infamous for their non-support of custom kernels. I've a collection of them and I tend to change kernels as often as somebody else changes socks.
-Has aggressive memory management became less aggressive?
Miui roms have this weird way of handling apps, force closing them in the background and so even when miui and system optimalization have both been turned off manually in the developer settings.
-What's the screen on time with mild usage? How many hours?
-Does the rom support wifi file transfer?
I rolled back from Syberia OS Pie to LOS 15.1 Oreo because Syberia didn't support file transfer over hotspot which proved to be ultimately useful.
Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hello
I just bought a new Poco F2 Pro phone and I don't like the MIUI system at all. I want the experience to be as close to stock android as possible. with that said, I have no idea how to install ROMs and what ROM should I install. Can someone direct me to some guides that can help me figure it out? thanks for the help

Hello guys. I have flashed "Miui by pappi54" rom on my redmi note 10 pro. All works fine, but I want to get root. I tried with magisk 24.1 but when I'm flashing it in orangefox recovery, phone stucks on boot logo. Is there any other way to get root? Thanks
The redmi note 10 pro comes with miui... Why did you flash this other miui "by pappi54"?

This version is 13.0.2
Official version is 12.5
But 13 is in beta dude.. the redmi note 10 pro is in the support list for the official global launch of miui 13. till then, either use a stable custom rom, or stick with 12.5. using a beta, and especially a beta of miui (which is well known for bugs in its stable releases) is not a good idea..
This may also be the reason as to why you're unable to root it, and you may also face many other issues.
I recommend that you switch back to miui 12.5, or even 12 as 12.5 has a couple of bugs too. If you want a custom rom, dotOS 5.2.1 is an android 11 rom with a ui quite similar to miui, while also bringing all the benefits of a custom rom, if you'd like to give it a go, here's a link:

A beautiful custom ROM based on AOSP, which endeavors the essence of Simple, Unique, Secure.

Now to answer you're original question (if you STILL want to give that a go),
Have you tried kingoroot? It's not always successful, but it is possible that it can one-click root your phone.
Another option is to try flashing magisk v23, then update it through the magisk app, as i had some issues flashing magisk v24 on my galaxy j5 running android 11.
You could also try using supersu, or some other rooting alternative instead of magisk.
