Good job sir
Just got it set up and... i am treble ready? No way!
There is definitely a positive change in response times and obviously much better use of hardware. Rooted no prob after a long first run and installed after 3 boots. Nice!

now that you installed treble fully, you can install GSIs from the treble forums but there is one problem with pie GSIs, some GSIs dont work because of some kind of overlays.. here's a list of GSIs that work and dont work
Avoid these GSIs:
ViperOS (Pie)
Pixel Dust (Pie)
PixelExperience (Pie)
Resurrection Remix (Pie)
HavocOS (Pie)
Liquid Remix (Pie)
MIUI (Oreo)
Oxygen OS (Oreo)
XenonHD (Oreo)
GSIs that work:
Phh-Treble (Pie/Oreo)
AOSP Extended (Pie (6.0)/Oreo)
AOSiP (Pie)
Descendant (Pie)
Bootleggers (Oreo)
Resurrection Remix (Oreo)
Lineage OS (Pie)
Ok nice. Kinda all over the place here. This is crazy. Only because i'm going to try all the ones suggested
Oh. My. God. This is AMAZING! My A8 is gone!

Ha. So I've probably tried close to 10 gsi's now and while some were decent, there so far has always been something that makes it unreasonable to stick with.
There's a lot more choices, that's for sure. I was really hoping to nail the rr 9.0 but don't have the patience to fix the partition issue.... so now I am looking at a cool glowing arrow with hopes of no vendor error message at the welcome screen. The install was easy. No idea if this glowing arrow is going to get tired and let me have a spin at it....
Can I use it without root? I mean i don't want to have the phoe rooted for some apps. Thank You.
is it normal that my Device now shown as A730F ?
also i noticed a performance decrease

So if TW is closed sources i have rights to protect my works from kanging, and quote clearly says `You are NOT allowed to use any part of this rom without my permission! All the apps and stuffs contains my sign So Beware!!` which means u can use but first you have to take my permissions as it's not OSS. Hope you understand and do more research regarding this `

i tried AOSP Phh-Treble today and got again the same feeling compared to this rom, this rom feels a bit "laggy". Don't get me wrong, it's not perma, it happens when i scroll realy quick...maybe it seems to me subjectively like that :cyclops:
atm i got two other issues:
the device didnt't get recognized if i connect it with usb to pc. only in recovery mode.

Dear Fellow Whyred Users,
I am opening this thread to discuss and get views from you in terms of a Stable & Least Buggy ROM (+ kernel) for Whyred 4GB/64GB device
It is more like an on-going discussion so that all can refer to and ask/share queries/comments/feedback and hence putting in this forum and not in Q&A.
Now to allow focussed discussion sharing some baseline requirements
1) By stable means - no random reboots, no crashes, should be good for daily use with Google Apps, GCam etc
2) Least Buggy - may be some small bugs here and there but should be known in advance (if see that these days for all Custom ROM bugs list is blank even when there are few known bugs reported & hence clearly known)
3) It's OK if the ROM is not having the latest security patches (ideally should be updated) but the key requirement is having balanced (battery backup & performance)
Now, yes Custom ROM offers lot of benefits and it is a boon to come out of MIUI trap as well as allows us to experiment and experience new features. But then it does break a few things here and there and also brings uncertainties.
So, for this thread, ok to even share experiences with MIUI (obviously modded one with all ads/****s removed) as well as the whole plethora of Custom ROM.
Request fellow users to share their experience with at least the following details:
ROM Name & Build Date:
Custom kernel Name & Build Date (if any):
Using Since:
Bugs if any:
Concerns if any:
Overall experience:
Reserved 1
Example for sharing your experience of ROM , pls quote this thread and edit !
PS: Mine is not a recommendation as not happy
ROM Name & Build Date: Xiaomi.eu Stable 10.3.4 (Android 9)
Custom kernel Name & Build Date (if any): Agni Kernel v8.7 Stable EAS
Using Since: May 2020
Bugs if any: None observed
Concerns if any: Lately phone seems very slow, performance below par. Reboot/clean cache helps for few days but again same problem
Overall experience: xiaomi.eu has been a good ROM for last 1.5 years, but with latest build seems to be an issue. Will try fresh format once, else change
Calling out fellow users to spare a few minutes and share their thoughts

Overall experience:
@mGforCe
I was recommended to use PixelExperience which was the first and only custom ROM I have flashed so far since unlocking the bootloader (I only acquired the phone last month). I went with the Pie version of the ROM,
PixelExperience_whyred-9.0-20191211-2037-OFFICIAL
Stock kernel (the one that came with the ROM), no random reboots, no problems, no issues whatsoever.
I might one day or some day flash Omni / Paranoid since I'm a big fan of both and have used them over the years. Maybe you could try those?
@mGforCe
ROM Name & Build Date: Xiaomi.Eu Beta 20.3.26 (Android 9)
Custom Kernel Name & Build Date: Using Stock Kernel (perf 4.4.153-perf+)
Using Since: March 2020 (Since Date of Release)
Bugs: None
Concerns if Any: Well u cannont Run WCC2 Game if its downloaded from another website (other than play store)
Overall Exp.: I've been using Eu ROM Since january 2020 and i haven't seen that much stable ROM till now. Even the MIUI 12 Beta builds are not that stable (They have high RAM Usage). I will strongly recommend this ROM For the best MIUI 11 Exp.
Peace
@mGforCe
ROM Name & Build Date: MIUI 10 [xiaomi.eu Beta 9.9.3] (Android 9)
Custom Kernel Name & Build Date: Stock Kernel (perf 4.4.153-perf+)
Using Since: September 2019 (Since Date of Release)
Bugs: Completely Stable
Concerns if Any: None so far, in nearly 1 year time.
Overall Exp: This has always been my go to ROM, when I want the perfect balance between performance and battery backup (seen last 8 hours of SoT and 40 hours of standby on it)
-- 1 -- One of the biggest reason why I never switched to MIUI 11, was because it was basically MIUI 10 with some extra tidbits that I could live without. The extra animations and updates just made the whole thing slower and consumed more RAM. For me, MIUI 10 last beta does the job perfectly. Good battery life and spare RAM (1.4-1.5 / 3.0 GB).
MIUI 12 has some major animation issues and spare RAM drops to 0.9-1.1 / 3.0 GB; would not advice anyone to update to that version. Waiting for RevOS [MIUI 12 Android 10 port] to get a bit more stable, might switch to that; as they seemed to have a good RAM management.
-- 2 -- I tried out Havoc, Pixel, Lineage and Corvus. Out of all the 4 ROMs; I'd say Corvus is pretty good. Havoc is nice and refined, but in terms of features, Corvus is the better one. But, what stops me from switch to custom roms is the battery life and slight heating issues. It might be due to kernels, but compared to MIUI 10's 5-6% battery consuption, custom roms eat up around 14-15%. Plus, during idle load, MIUI 10 drops down to as low as 32 C while lowest I seen on Corvus was around 35-36 C. They might have gotten better. Might need to test them out again before I can give a final say on it.
-- 3 -- After using MIUI, you get used to few sweet features it offers. Few of them were the volume panel, per app network settings, the app auto start control toggle and lastly the recent app menu. Paranoid Android did a wonderful job of bringing the first 2 feature to custom stock roms; sadly the other two features still remain unavailble. Hopefully someone will be able to create those.

Thanks @Renz1er for the detailed feedback, very helpful.
Few questions if you may answer:
1) Did you try any subsequent build of Xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 betas and still found this best? Or you never tried any further MIUI 10 or MIUI 11 because of info about extra RAM consumption?
Reason for asking because fellow user @Sidgup1998 suggested Xiaomi.Eu Beta 20.3.26 (MIUI 11) and so checking.
2) Further, you mention RevOS and so checking if you tried any other MIUI Mods like MiRoom etc?
I also googled and found one Official RevOS - tried anytime? ROS-MIUI_RedmiNote5_20.2.26_v11-9.zip
The problem (probably biggest) I've faced with Corvus Os is the mobile data connection. Sometimes if u disconnect and then reconnect, it won't connect until u restart/ Change network type 4g/3g/2g (I used this method).
Otherwise Best Aosp Rom is Corvus as it has my favourite One Plus Navbar Option

I tried out almost every single beta build and stable build for MIUI 10, and this one particular seems to hit the sweet spot. In terms of features offered from MIUI, performance and stability.
For MIUI 11, I just tried few earlier beta builds and some one of the stable builds. They were stable, but like I said, the ram usage and a bit more system animations kept me away.
For MIUI 12, I tried the very first beta build and the last beta build, both had bugs and issues.
-- 2 --Tried Xiaomi.EU Android 10 Port, Masik X Android 10 Port and RevOS Anroid 10 Port. All 3 of them are more of less very similar, just RevOS has bit more free space because it removes a few of MIUI system apps and a bit more free RAM compared to official Android 9 MIUI 12.
But the main issues with these ports are higher temperature, battery backup being a bit worse and the camera libs might not be whyred's so might see a bit degradation in quality.

Thanks for the detailed revert. Clearly noted cons of going with MIUI 11 and MIUI 12
Now, coming back to MIUI 10, what I gather is that xiaomi.eu beta 9.9.3 is essentially last best of MIUI 10 and then the next weekly beta takes to
MIUI 11
Basis same, I tried searching a bit and came across two further ROMs : Mi-Room and Revolution OS
They both having beta builds, my guess based on same last MIUI 10 weekly beta, the release time is closeby to xiaomi.eu (beta 9.9.3)
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote5Pro_9.9.3_v10-9.zip 2019-09-05
Mi-Room RedmiNote5_MIUI_9.9.3_MiRoom_9.0.zip 2019-09-06
ROS-MIUI_RedmiNote5_9.9.21_v10-9.zip 2019-09-11
So, was wondering if worth trying anyone of them?
Also nowhere I see any comparison of Mi-Room vs Xiaomi.eu vs RevolutionOS. Do you have any insights here?
I will suggest Pixel experience plus ROM
Build : June 13
Have been using it from last two days and it's pretty stable
I'm getting 7+ hours of SOT
Play Store is certified so no need to install magisk
Video recording is not working with included Mi Camera but you can resolve it by installing Google Camera
I'm Using Google camera 7.3
Omfg guys ... Can you find more unsupported and buggy ROMs??? ?
Did someone try official LOS 17.1 ???
Almost bug free some minors bugs but ROM is rock solid and you'll get weekly OTA.
Some pixlesh*t buggy ROM is not what my grany can use as sound is crapy as hell and others bugs (WIFI, 4g, volte, etc). I tried many of them except MIUI crapware, adware,etc ROMS.
And I always come back to LOS ROMs official or unofficial.
But on the end, decision is up to you.
Good luck and stay safe.
I've tried LOS, the main concern is the constant Signal Drops which ultimately lead to poor signal reception.
I am having these issues in the latest build ( 29/6)
That's why I always come back to MiUi

Khmm, in almost every of yours posts on XDA forum you have always some weird problems and no one else have and can't be reproduce.... Last quote is from MIUI ROM thread.:laugh:
You are clearly doing something wrong. What firmware do you have? Did you clean install ROM ( advanced wipe -> system, data, cache, dalvik, internal storage)?
Is your persist partition OK?
How is your changing fingerprint going? :laugh: (under LOS 17.1 thread is your answer):good:
You can PM me and I'll try to help you to narrow down your problem. As I said official LOS 17.1 is the most stable ROM at the moment.
Note to all:
Try to avoiding gapps cr*pware. Use FLOSS stores like f-droid and if you still can't live without google spyware apps use Aurora Store (aka google store but its open source) from XDA lab apps store.
And I'm sorry for this off topic post :angel:.
Good luck and stay safe.
@drnightshadow my Eu problem was solved as the new feature implemented by Miui 12 was unknown (they by default changed the imei, simcard response to blank response) and many people were facing the problem
This was a common problem but people didn't knew how to describe

The two roms I've always had a good time with on both my Osprey and whyred has been lineage os and aosp extended other roms which have more features eventually broke for one reason or another . Aosp extended is the perfect mix of features and stability

Thanks mate for feedback. Can you share more details about AEX - which build, android version? Any bugs/issues observed etc?
Not so recent, but the best and most stable for me. Did try almost every whyred ROM from xda , and from other forums also. I always end up getting back to this one, specially when you like MIUI experience. Details attached.
Hey~
So its been a while since I've updated my device to android 12, build number IN2013_11_C.16
and its just buggy in basically any aspect, making the phone very annoying to use
When I was on android 11, the phone was perfect and everything worked fine.
What would be the best approach? I use banking apps and Gpay daily in my everyday life so its very important
Rolling back to android 11 - if that's possible (?) would be my best option original rom will keep the google pay and banking apps working right>?
If rolling back to previous firmware is not possible then
Using a custom rom with Gapps could work? - I think I've seen somewhere lineage os with Gmicro apps, will it work with Gpay since its not an "original" rom ?
Really appreciate the help guys, its been a few years since I've played with phones firmware and as I can see stuff' changed.
If you've never flashed a custom ROM, I would recommend you just roll back to Android 11.
Luckily, Oneplus offers an official package that let's you downgrade back to Android 11 from C.16.
THIS is the official Oneplus thread for the C.16 update. On that page, there is a .zip package you can install to rollback to Android 11. The page also includes pretty detailed instructions, pretty easy to follow.
On that forum post, look for the section "Rollback guide—via Local OTA update"
If you want to try a custom ROM though, I recommend HavocOS for Android 11, or Nameless AOSP for Android 12. Those are the best ROMs in their respective category in my opinion. AICP also looks promising it needs a few fixes but I believe in our savior semdoc
While OxygenUpdater is pretty useful, compensating for OnePlus' support pages forgetting to share OTA downloads, it only shows the most recent version. Which can be a pain, so perhaps we should keep track. Maybe if you want to downgrade (when possible) or just see what's inside.
Note: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oot-nord-2t-with-magisk-without-twrp.4467299/
Already has a good collection of stock `boot.img` versions.
