Custom ROM (TS CM13.....) VS MIUI 7 Which one should i choose?

Hello,
I am not sure what i should choose... i like a stable ROM and good camera quality but i like also stock android and latest Android version! how is the difference between the camera on CM/MIUI?
now i am running SMIUI (5.1.1 ) with NOVA launcher to get a taste of stock android
Thanks for your replys and help!

yeah we need AOSP room for Mi4C ...
I like MIUI ( haven't tried sMIUI yet ) but I absolutely hate all the apps that come with it., especialy those chineese i don't even understand ... oh and app market ... how do i get rid of that, PLEASE !!! ?

yeah, that was going to be my next venture ... I am just waiting for the unlock code from Xiaomi if it will arrive in the next days, otherwise i will go with the guide to do it without the code .

At the moment I stick with smiui(6..) with root, xposed, viper4android...
It is great.
But I'm waiting for an official release of cm, aosp...
CM 13 doesn't run like I'm used to and the lack of custom kernels is pretty bad.
At the moment I don't have a big reason to stick with stock android.
On my s4 I only used GPE of android.
So I'm used to a 100 % customized system.
But for now I have to stick with smiui.
Because it works the best.
(only with xposed )
Camera quality miui>aosp/cm
It crashed a lot and it was a bad experience for me.

CM13 in Mi4c bad? How can you say that?
My experience with CM13 Team Superluminal has been awesome! some keys points for you.
-Batery life is a lot better (Screen time is almost the same but standby time in CM13 is ULTRA OPTIMIZED only 1 percent in all night)
-Camera is good (Not at level of MIUI)
-No crashes since last build (1 week now)
-Google apps working
-Now CM13 TS is stable, you get updates from OTA.
-Now, not coming back to MIUI.

He is probably using CM13 ported by other members. I'm using TS CM13 and it's amazing. I think the camera image quality on TS CM13 is as good as MiUI, even though the UI is not as convenient. No crashing of the camera app.

Maybe the new version is better. i used mc 13 from ts.
i tested it 1 or 2 months ago and i got some bad problems.
i dont say it is bad but for me it was'nt stable enough to switch.
but im still waiting for an official release.
just try it out and see how it works for you

TSL's CM13 is great! You can try also Ketut Kumajaya's almost-AOSP CM13 Nexus-fy

I'm also using TS CM13 and i have to say after the release of source code, stable cm13 and firmware update from Xiaomi i'm having a really good experience with my phone. it runs great, and i also used xiaomi.eu builds and loved it, but i could not get over the little things/overal look and feel (and behavior) of the os. To be fair, i always preferred cm, more than stock, for it's simplicity and customization options.

If it runs like you describe it.
I'll take another look on cm 13.
Hopefully it runs better this.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

no problem, to be clear, i'm using 0423 build, flashed fw update from miui stable, but not the gpu blobs as described on their website:
Based on stable/cm-13.0-ZNH2K branch.
Proprietary blobs are from miui stable V7.2.4.0 version. http://www.teamsuperluminal.org/download/ts_libra_miui_v7240_fw_patch-zip)
Imho when using a new rom, give it 2-3 days to settle in in terms of battery performance.

Installing a GSI image on the Mi Mix 2s

So in about 15 hours I can unlock my phone finally. First thing I want to try is to install an AOSP Rom from the Treble thread. Did anyone already did this if so how and is everything working well?
I'm going to try it tommorow, if anyone is willing to upload the stock camera app I would be very grateful. So I can try if that app works on a stock Android Rom.

I did try it and mobile data didn't work for me, so I didn't test any further. Also the screen flickers sometimes.

you guys should know that treble is intended towards OEMs and not end users. Treble is nowhere near stable and oyu will have to wait for xiaomi to fix it.
and also you need xiaomis framework in order to use any of the miui apps. Since it is closed source you wont be able to use the camera ever on a custom rom.

You sure about the part with the camera? For example with the mi mix 2 you can use the camera on aosp based custom roms.
Edit: Or are you talking about treble roms specifically?

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you said that the camera won't work on aosp based roms at all... This is why I was curious because I was sure I saw mi mix 2 phones with a working cam on aosp. I never owned a xiaomi device before, is the camera quality really that much worse than with miui cam app?

Well normally the biggest downsides of custom roms is inferior camera quality (for the reason stated above). Especially on custom roms for xiaomi phones since they hardly released any sources. Nowdays it changed a bit, google camera port delivers (sometimes) better quality photos if used right.

Ok, thanks for the explanation, in 4 years with the 1+1 camera quality never was important for me... let's hope the best for a good cam quality on custom roms for the 2s, if there will be any...

which other hardware features would we lose on an aosp rom on the mix 2s?
would the fingerprint scanner still work to unlock the phone?
what about pulling the status bar down with the fingerprint scanner?
and face unlock?
camera quality is usually the biggest drawback when switching to custom roms though. when I first heard of project treble I thought that this issue would be gone! i got the impression that the hardware drivers would stay in one partition and over it you could install an AOSP rom. sounded like the best of both worlds! running an aosp rom but still having the same camera quality!
I'm pretty sure that's not the case though. as soon as you flash an aosp rom on a treble device you're back to the point where we've always been. it's just like running a custom rom a year ago. you lose the features, drivers,...
correct me if I'm wrong!

Well, these features are mostly implemented in system software. If the fingerprint gesture is present as a default feature in AOSP, you will have it when you flash a treble rom. If AOSP supports two cameras, you will be able to use them by default in treble etc.
The features generally depend whats implemented in AOSP.
(Assuming that xiaomi implemented treble in the way which is specified by google)

what would you recommend to a western user to get the best out of the camera? To use it default's OS?
I'm planning on buying a Chinese model (my gf is going to China, idk if they sell Global version there) and change it by hand to a global version with google and all. Is that a bad idea?

You can just flash global rom or xiaomi.eu Rom, it works just fine for me (I'm from Germany). Camera quality is the same as it is with China Rom. If you buy Chinese version and flash global rom there is no real difference to buying global version (except some Lte bands you probably don't need anyway)
Edit: just saw in another thread that you said you need band 28, I think only 256gb Chinese version or 64gb and 128gb global version have Band 28 so you either have to get the 256gb version or buy a global version

I've tried the AOSP one and it is working surprisingly well, apart from the screen flickering when locking/unlocking and obviously the camera which is normal. The rest of them should perform identically.

Nope, I didn't report it as I went back straight to MIUI so I couldn't have provided any additional feedback to the dev. It wasn't a huge problem for me though as it flicks between min and max brightness only once or twice and only during locking/unlocking (during the usual AOSP screen fading animation). Might report it one day when I'd be in mood to try it again.

Most stable custom rom for daily usage

Hey everyone,
I am bit confused with all these custom roms available for Honor8.So I would like to ask you which rom do you think is stable enough for daily usage and why?Are there any problems/bugs?
Thanks in advance

There's no stable custom roms for H8 at all. A lots of bugs, like cameras not working. You should stay on stock

As they said.
I've tried almost all of them and the closest to stable i got was AOSPA which crashed and rebooted randomly when using the GPS.
The Remix Resurrection/Lineage based ROMs would lock me out whenever I had a passcode turned on. What ever it tried to do after unlocking would crash and spit me right back out to the lockscreen.
Hopefully, the Oreo update comes soon, and, hopefully, it comes with Treble so that the Devs will be able to get the ROMs working flawlessly.

I don't know what these guys are talking about, but I've been using CarbonROM as a daily driver for several months now. I have working Magisk, working cameras, working basically everything - except for VoLTE. Though I've heard the VoLTE bug is only applicable for my model (FRD-L04), so you might not even have that. Give it a shot if you want, it's worked fine for me other than the VoLTE.

You failed to mention the camera is sub par on that, and every single custom ROM because it only uses one of the back cameras. All the nougat ROMs have simple bugs that the "developers" have failed to fix because they give up.

Well yeah, it's a custom ROM - of course the devs don't have access to Huawei's proprietary camera drivers. That's not a bug, it's just the nature of custom ROMs. If OP wanted the best of the best camera quality, they would stick with stock, but since they asked for the most stable ROM that people knew of, I recommended one whose developers had indeed worked out the majority of the issues to where I could only identify one minor one from my months of use.

I used customs roms for the shortest amount of time as daily drivers because the battery life really was bad, sound quality didn't flash me (not even with V4A) and the camera is truly sh*t on custom roms too.
If you aren't one of those people who really can't live without stock Android then stay on stock, we'll probably get Oreo or at least EMUI 8 soon.

Flash PixelExperience in Redmi Note 7 Pro without VOIDING Warranty

Is there any way to flash PixelExperience in my new Redmi Note 7 Pro without VOIDING the Warranty??
Pls help me out if there is a way.
Thanks

Your warranty is not void if you unlock the bootloader officially . You can root it without any problem. But be careful while using the phone , if its your mistake that you damaged your device, Mi may not be able to repair under warranty.
I have used the service of Mi under warranty more than 3 times and my phone is unlocked and rooted. But they were different scenarios and i don't see these cases of my negligence. All were hardware issues which can be seen normal in many locked devices too.

Well today, now i am on xiaomi.eu, 2 hrs before i was on cesium os. But i get back to xiaomi.eu cause i like it as i like miui and this rom removes bloatware from miui and add some tweaks too.
So overall its good more customized miui.
If you ask which rom i have used till now in violet
RR, PE, CESIUM, MIUIPRO, HAVOC, ION, SUPERIOR, CRDROID, DOT, OOS(PORT)
Overall most of the roms i have tested both android 9 and 10 (most have both versions and tested both). But came back to miui cause my requirement was not met as i needed inbuilt call recording and app lock, fingerprint, facelock.
I hate external ones cause they don't work upto the mark and can't compete with miui in this case(from my point of view)
There are new ROMs being built daily but no one cares to add something new, just one or two tweaks and will change theme and add or remove some functions and will be released with a new name[i am not hurting anyone] but seriously its happening i can take the names of roms which are almost same but names are different cause developers are different. You will also see many roms will have same bugs too. [eg. Network Switching]
[I fully respect the developer's work and their hard time committed to our phone's development.]

Yeah, miui.eu has been my daily driver since trying out many roms from my RN5 Pro days. In terms of stability and functionality, miui.eu rules. Cant understand the popularity of Pixel Exp, its a crap rom in comparison imo. I guess people just want something different and thats why they go for it.

Agreed ,but a huge reason why these ROM's win over MIUI is basically Performance and a clean UI. The Pixel exclusive features help a lot as well. Also the lack of custom kernels for MIUI is a factor. Well using Magisk+EdXposed you could get the same level of app lock and call recording...

Yes, but i am using miui.eu, its working smooth and playing pubg mobile, never get any lag , moreover the magisk+xposed can compete miui call recording but applock of miui is far better as its fully integrated with system whereas other applocks are not much secured compared to miui one.
Pixel experience is a good rom but you can see the no. Of roms being released with mostly same features but different themes but instead of this 2 or more these developers get together and make one rom with combined features. As it may also be less buggy.

Yeepp. But I disagree with the applock statement. We don't know what sort of protection MIUI uses whereas apps like MaxLock is open source, consumed negligible battery and gives you 512 bit encryption along with various advanced options if needed.

Oh that's why this one uses EdXposed/Root. It detects the launch of specific apps, rather than running all the time and there's no way to bypass it.
But there are some troubles running it in Android 10.

That's why i use miui? because if one problem is solved there is another problem which is ready to raise

While Pixel roms gives clean UI, Miui.eu gives all the perks which other custom roms miss. I'm in same state as of OP as I actually need Call recorder, and App lock so miui.eu is the best choice. Its smooth, stable, bug-free. I can clearly compare 2 phones, one with stock miui and other with eu rom, EU win hands down any day. I haven't yet found a custom rom with all miui perks and pixel ui. I will happy switch if anyone makes that.

What's the best ROM for this phone currently?

After multiple painstaking months of using the "latest" miui for this phone,I'm really getting tired of the bad battery life and horrible lagging when the phone is warm... I'm looking for a new ROM but there's so much choices, I want the ROM to have good battery life and smooth daily usage as it is my daily driver. Other nice to haves are miui camera and accessible bw camera. What ROMs could be the best?

There is no room with miui cameras, except miui, maybe try miui 10. Also if you have never tried gcam, this will be a mind blowing experience when you go with a non miui rom, with root there are ways to access the bw sensor and take pictures with it using third party camera apps, I use pixel experience, and it's decent, also havoc OS Is decent, you will have to try some out to fifties out the ones you like

Well that's a shame, I liked miui camera because it's very simple,I have tried gcam on miui before but I had a bad experience due to lag. I will consider both ROMs for now,but I hope to get recommendation from more people.

After multiple painstaking months of using the "latest" miui for this phone,I'm really getting tired of the bad battery life and horrible lagging when the phone is warm... I'm looking for a new ROM but there's so much choices, I want the ROM to have good battery life and smooth daily usage as it is my daily driver. Other nice to haves are miui camera and accessible bw camera. What ROMs could be the best?

11.0.2.0 china is still on android 8,for me it isn't a big deal but if this phone has no more future updates,i may aswell just go with custom rom and get newer android versions. I love miui,and i will miss the comforts of miui but i think it is a trade off that i can deal with. I live in malaysia and it is hot here,indoors with air conditioning is mostly fine but if outdoors...yeah the phone feels like its gonna explode (not that i am outdoors that recently).
