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.

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).

Hey guys im coming from the htc evo 4g. I just got the nexus rooted. What is the best rom or most popular rom in here?
Miui and cm7. I think are the most popular
Sent from my MIUI powered Nexus S 4g using XDA Premium App
AFAIK there are no best rom, only most suitable to one needs. Having said that, Cyanogen, GPA17 and some other are quite popular...you have to try it to find one that suit your needs.
I did try several of them and ended up at stock rooted rom as I need a reliable handset for my day to day usage (phone, message, email, browsing, no games, hardly music or video)...battery is not a problem for me as I always have a second backup ever since I went to Android route.
stock rooted here. Found it to just be the most reliable and best battery. Plus once rooted there are tons of apps that can emulate the tweaks you get with roms. Love ZeamLauncher.
Hm I found stock rooted to be horrible on battery life. ATM I'm on MIUI 1.8.26 and TEUV88 rammstein kernel. Provides me with stability, better battery life, same performance, more customizability, and more functionality built in.
But it's all preference really. I suggest you try out a couple and figure out which you like most.
For fast,responsive, and good battery life, you might want to look into Oxygen 2.2.2. This is what I use and I can confirm that everything needed for a daily phone WORKS.
miui. personal favorite
My personal favorites are MIUI and Oxygen
You can download latest MIUI at www.miui.us and latest Oxygen at http://forum.oxygen.im/viewforum.php?id=7
I've had great experiences with both. Also, the latest Matr1x kernel has been working great on both. Oxygen has been very very stable for me

Kool man ill give oxygen a try thanks for the info
Hey, I would like to give you my personal experience.
Ive used oxygen, and it really is a beast when it comes to speed and battery.
However, I would recommend brainmasters MIUI. It looks awesome, the speed is awesome and battery usage is ok, not the best out there but ok.
If you want your phone to look very slick and sexy, go for MIUI
MIUI
Never was a fan prior though, was always avid cm7 user and other standard android base ROMS mostly CM7
Gave the new MIUI another chance and never looked back.
I was presently pleased, not only doesn't it look better its more stable and battery performance is allot better than CM7. It also adds allot of features and functionality that other standard aosp NS ROMS don't offer such as better camera, music, faster/smoother browser ...ect
Been using miui for a couple months now and couldn't be more happy don't see myself switching back anytime soon.... probably when icecream is released though

time to update your signature?
I prefer the stock Android Roms. I figure that Google has put a lot of painstaking care into getting the Linux kernel built just right. I tried CyanogenMod, but it seemed to be awfully unstable.
favorite, miui .. very nice and fast ..and highly customizable
SuperOSR - darn fast rom
brainmaster's miui or oxygen 2.2.2
I used zulugen and BM's MIUI.
MIUI is a complete New experience , it has loads of themes and lockscreens etc.
but i dont like the iphone style , so using ADW launcher on it.
I liked MIUI but Netflix video was stutter city, even on Wifi. Switched back to stock and it plays smoothly. Also works fine on Oxygen.
So I wanted to like MIUI (latest version) but there seems to be something going on with a background process that's choking video and causing it not to be smooth...

This. It's a Nexus, enjoy the stocky goodness of it. Otherwise why bother with a Nexus?
Stock Nexus > Custom ROMs > Manufacturer crippled and bloated ROMs
I've Tried All The Major Custom ROM Players..
You know their names.
And for the most part.. they were "Glitch-Free" and fairly stable.
Lots of goodies to play with and adjust.. even one offering the "Pure" Experience.. for those that want it Bare-Boned.
And.. even though they were bloat-free, light in weight and smooth.. there were still complaints about this not working or that not working.. or, users asking if they could have Gestures working as smoothly as Stock.. both Camera lenses functioning etc.. etc.. :crying:
It's in EVERY thread.
I'd been mixing and matching so many Kernel's and ROM's trying to achieve... what?
That's when I decided to Re-Encrypt my software throw on 9.5.17.. and Re-Root the darn thing..
A Fresh Start..
Not only has everything been scrubbed clean.. but battery ( Greenified ) Smoothness ( Nova-Prime ) Customization ( Themes ) all really work better than I remembered.
Even with the bloat.. ( I could remove it.. ) everything transistions just as fast as it did with the customs.
I Can Always Go Back.. to C-ROM's and my Anti ( 3 ) is not an issue.. but,
I really don't see a need to.. Stock-Rooted ( IMO ) offers the best Stability / Customization Combo for the XRN5 / Pro.
For most people including me, it's just being close to raw aosp.
I admire the smoothness of miui edge gestures and some goodies that miui brings. But other than that, i just can't stand the ugly side of it, like why an oem will show ads when i download something with stock browser? I know i can use other browsers, but why would mi do that? Did i got the phone for free? So, they put ads to monetize?!
It's good that now i see threads for debloating miui easily but i don't see myself going back to miui anytime soon. Even now that mia2 Cam's been ported and working quite smoothly, i see no reason to go back.
Btw, it's just personal preference. And if stability is what's someone looking for, they should go stock. But it also can be achieved from aosp roms, no doubt. Highly depends on user and how/what they use it for. I have no major problems with the roms I've tried so far.
Aosip, havoc, dotos, now bootleggers. Aosip is the most perfect solution for me.
Cheers.
Understood..

Great Post..
Can't disagree with your opinion..
I have no issues either way as far as browsing is concerned.. even without the use of Adaway Rooted or Non-Rooted variants.
MIUI got the Gestures right... that's for sure. The Customs can't touch MIUI Smoothness and Sensitivity levels.
And Batterylife for me is 13% ( tested ) better going factory fresh as well.
Thank Goodness there is a road for each of us to get to our destination! :highfive:
Cheers.
Been there, done that. I remember the good old days when stock ROMs sucked big time. Not so long ago, I pretty much threw MIUI into oblivion on my RN3 because performance was sub-par. Now, it's a completely different world in which I find myself at home when using Oreo-based MIUI 9 and even 10.
All I need these days is the latest stable Android release, Magisk (+ a couple Modules), Nova Launcher, my apps and I'm good to go.
Gone are the days when I tweaked and tweaked the hell out the HW and SW to get decent performance.
I totally agree with the OP. I tried few of the major custom roms and while they were mostly bug free and stable, oreo based stock miui 9 and 10 beta is simply awesome. Miui 10 beta is giving me the best battery life and the most smooth performance, even with tons of bloatware.
Yeah this is the setup I have used since I got this phone. Stock os is stable and fast. Haven't tried any custom Roms yet . If things go south in miui 10 only then will i switch to other roms
I am waiting to get my bootloader unlocked and want to root stock.
Will I be able to OTA upgrade without losing root? Or what's the process here.
Wish there was a tweaked, debloated, zip aligned stock rom..

Do you really need greenify with miui? It has some background and memory management itself, i think greenify is more suited for AOSP LOS etc. But thats just my opinion.

I agree what Incogn said. MIUI doesn't need Greenify as it is pretty aggressive. But if you want it there is a Magisk module you can download from Magisk Manager itself. It makes Greenify perform way better like it works with Xposed.

Every single rom has back and front camera working. It's the Google camera, that's still partially broken. Use Mi A2 port and everything is going to be fine

If its spy rom and you are concerned why are you using google apps? The biggest data stealers there are. Im quite sure you also use facebook, so hipocricy here is very high. Even if it was spy rom(which is utter nonsense), they cant steal anything from you that google or facebook already didnt.

Stock custom rom camera compared to stock miui SUCKS. Gcam doesnt work on global, and Mi A2 port has 50 pages of user reported bugs, so no, its quite far from fine if you want stability.

What is the best ROM that is free of bugs and can be used as daily driver ? (I haven't tried any ROM )
Bug free is a strong term.
We have a couple of good ROMs to be used as daily driver.
Lineage, Pixel Experience, ArrowOS, AOSIP.
And you can use treble ROMs like Havoc 2.0.
"Best rom" depends exclusively of your experience, so take a time to try each of them and then tell us how was it.
Btw I'm actually using ArrowOS. It's amazing.

How does the speed and fluidity of custom roms compare to miui 10. I've been using miui and found it to be very smooth. I am worried custom roms would feel slower.

In my experience ROMs are just as smooth and snappy as MIUI10.
The biggest issue with them are bugs. Pretty much every Treble ROM I've used has had issues with the fingerprint sensor acting as a cursor and selecting theme when my finger presses it. I've tried AOISP and Liquid Remix, and on both I had an issue where the phone would lock itself every 5 or 10 minutes. Which made it made it super frustrating to watch videos.
I'm currently using ArrowOS and haven't noticed any issues yet, but I'm sure I'll find something. I'll probably end up going back to MIUI at some point. Things like slow motion video and scrolling screenshots aren't necessities, but they're nice to have.
Wow I actually didn't know miui supported long screenshots. Thanks for that! I heard treble roms tend to be buggy but last week an official pixel experience rom was released so I was considering running that. It's still on its first build but the second build should be released this month and should contain bug fixes that people reported. It's great to know that performance is still smooth.

I miss a lot scrolling screenshots. Slowmotion you can get using Manual Camera DSLR app. There is an option to choose recording speed (half-dotted circle with "play" icon inside it).
My two cents: keep original rom and flash custom kernel. You will increase smoothness and battery life.

Hi , i stopped changing Rom when I bought the 8t coming from 6t , but now I am bored and I'd like to try a new rom , which is the best custom ROM for 8t ?
Most important things for me :
Stable and fast ( fingerprint also fast)
Good camera (like stock one )
Good battery
Thanks if someone wants to share their experience on multiple custom roms I'd be glad
Of course rom choice is a individual preference but mine is AICP. Good stable, smooth with a few customizations. Can be used with a couple of the custom kernels out there. Not strictly Pixel based. Updated weekly for all devices supported.

had the same thoughts this friday and spend the weekend trying ROMs and twrp
long story short - stock is better for this phone
I was using custom ROMs for years on different phones (starting OnePlus One and Cyanogen mod by Sultanxda), so I know exactly how a good custom ROM feels and works
for this particular model I'm kind of disappointed and "forced" to go back to stock
off course, you can say that you don't use autobrightness or you are ok with how the fingerprint works (or don't use other stuff I've noticed), but for me stock is much better in a daily driver perspective
if you are really bored and have enough free time, it's better to try yourself and make your own opinion about it
only problem is that the stock rom is less trustworthy than even having google up your phones you-know-what
Hi all!
I been thinking about getting a custom rom on this phone ever since I got it (it's my second xiaomi, after my first one I thought it's probably the best to skip MIUI entirely). But since then I couldn't figure out what to get. Some say EvoX is the best, CrDroid has some cool features but can't find much about it being a daily driver, I heard lots of bad things about the PixelExperience and I'm holding out on LineageOS until an offical port comes out
Main things I'm looking for:
Camera to stay as good as with stock
Fast charging with all of it's 67W glory
5G
Privacy features
Thanks in advance
Logan
best in what?
how bout Evo x as your daily driver...?
I use elixir and its working great for heavy daily usage
Honestly? MIUI EU rom works flawlessly for me, fast enough, stable and has a few extra mods. Custom ROMs aren't what they use to be... Bugger all features and lots of bugs due to half-ass development and the fact this isn't a hugely popular device.
