[Updated] The Best Nougat Based Custom ROM for MI 4i.

Dear MI 4i users,
We have got a lot of Nougat ROMs for our device recently and most of them are being actively developed.
You may have tried some of them, or may be wanting to try one now. But, with so many available ROMs, you'll be easily confused as to which is the best one yet for your daily use. So, here is little help for you to sort it out.
Note: If you have already tried the ROMs, please vote for your favourite one and help others to decide. You can also share your thoughts on the ROMs you've tried so far in this thread
List of best Nougat based ROMs for MI 4i
[*]AICP 12.1
AICP aka Android Ice Cold Project is highly customisable ROM with lot of features and best community. It also has highly active development with nightly builds, just like CM(used to be )
[*]AOSPExtended
AOSP Extended is an AOSP based rom which provides stock UI/UX with various customisations features along with the Substratum theme engine. The project has been made by cherry-picking various commits from various other projects. Being based on AOSP it provides a smooth and lag-free experience out of the box. We will constantly try to add more features and make it even better in future updates. A ROM by a user, for a user. #StayAOSP #ExtendYourDevice
[*]crDroid 7.1
[*]CyanogenMod 14.1
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.0 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.
[*]PixelROM
PixelROM is a custom firmware aka ROM for various Android devices. It is built from CyanogenMod 14.1 with additional features, performance and battery life improvements.
The idea behind PixelROM is to give users a ROM that is "blazing fast and buttery smooth".
[*]Resurrection Remix
Resurrection Remix the ROM has been based on CM, Slim Omni and original Remix ROM builds, this creates an awesome combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your device
[*]Slim7
SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. Our main goal is to offer users a slimmed down yet feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.
The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
[*]XOSP 7
Common features:
All ROMs are either LineageOS or AOSP based. So, at minimum, you can definitely see the feature set of LineageOS(or CyanogenMod formely) in all ROMs.
AOSP based ROMS like Slim7, AICP may additionally have their own custom features which are very useful and allow a high-degree of customisation.
Effectively, all the ROMs add their own flavour to the sweeetness of Nougat to make your device a pleasure in hand. :fingers-crossed:
Important : Go through respective ROM thread list of bugs and respective solutions, if any.
•=============================== A VERY USEFUL TIP ===============================•​ If you're flashing a new Nougat ROM on top of existing Nougat ROM, then there is no need to back-up everything everytime. Just wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART in TWRP and then flash the new ROM.
First boot will take 4~6 minutes irrespective of ROM and it's normal.
This works because all of the ROMs above have same base (7.1.1). I've personally tested this trick and it worked for CM14.1 <-> AICP12.1 <-> PixelROM.
It should work for other ROMs too. I'll let you know when I try or you can try and share the result.
A big advantage of this trick is that all the apps will be preserved and even the customisation you had done will be restored when you revert back to previous ROM. But note that this may break some Gapps because all ROMs don't support same package.
Finally, be warned: this method works only for switching between Nougat ROMs given above. Don't try this if you're on a different ROM.

that trick will works fine now
but when CM theme engine comes up

1. Of course. I'll warn when that happens. But, are you suggesting that LineageOS team is working on their own gene engine? Because, that would be great considering the simplicity of CMTE.
2. I have already added it to the list.

Can someone recommend me rom + kernel combo for the fastest expirience?
I am currently using cr droid and I find it perfect for my needs, but will a kernel help with the performance and make the phone faster? If yes what kernel do you recommend?

Substratum is not working properly on lineage

add aosip and aospext they are better

Aicp vs pixel rom...what do you think its better?

hey what about viper rom . plss develop one for mi4i also

Anyone tried slimrom.?? Is it stable???

AospExtended ?
crDroid is good, AICP 12.1 also works great.
BTW you should add AospExtended to your list.
In my opinion it is cleaner and smoother compared to other Android N roms.

Possible future release of a custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime (SM-G532G/DS)?

I'm planning to buy this phone (SM-G532GZKDXTC), and as far as I'm aware, there are no custom roms available for this device.
So, will there any chance that this phone gets a custom ROM in the future? (Because if this phone cannot support custom ROMs (just like what happened with SM-T210, then I might not buy this, and go for the A-series instead)
Thanks

I've started working on porting lineageos 14.1 for the g532 (j2 prime)...

Paranoid Android for Umidigi

Hi guys,
Looking at how Umidigi is growing rapidly and with each new phone release, boundaries are bound to be pushed. The slew of smartphones released under Umidigi are all very promising. Therefore, I would like to see more custom ROM being made for it. Personally, I've been considering doing a Paranoid Android port for Umidigi phone. At this stage, it's just an idea because there are several factors that will affect the outcome.
1. If I am to start building custom ROMs for Umidigi phone (which model), obviously I'd have to get one
2. Which custom ROM the community would like to have the most

hello and welcome to this tread, i think z/zpro it's a good idea to port ,only camera lib are differents. i prefer lineageos personally.

Hi, Personally I would prefer AICP if possible.

For me it would be nice RR

AICP
LineageOS
ResurrectionRemix
===
Depending on your taste.

I just want different roms I'm really bored of the standard one, I would love to get LineageOS

Paranoid Android or LineageOs

Hi thanks, I would like AICP.

doesnt matter, everything is better than the stock rom crap.

Hey all, based on the current feedback seems like the favourite bunch includes:-
1. LineageOS
2. AICP
3. RR
4. Paranoid Android
But its still early days. Keep the vote coming! Meanwhile, I'll try to get myself the device so I can work on it.

I have already tried some ROMs with my other devices and LineageOS is for me the best choice.
ResurrectionRemix is the second choice for me.

I'm happy with anything that moves this phone forward ?
Rooted a must option

Thanks for all the feedback and looks like Lineage OS is the hot favourite. Don't just stop here. Keep your opinion coming and don't forget to vote.
P/S: good news coming soon

Any other ROM would be better than official crap. But I've a question: until now there is no other ROM for this device because Mediatek hasn't released source code for X27 so, how are you going to solve this?

Hi guys, I've created the first build of Lineage OS 14.1 for Umidigi Z. It can be found in my other thread @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-umidigi-z-t3639453
Be warned that this build is not tested because I do not have the device and it is created based on the best of my knowledge. I'm well aware that there will be plenty of bugs and issues. Feel free to reply to that thread.

Looks like he had the Z not the Z pro in mind Stock rom is so limited it's untrue

The problem in releasing source code is umi.. Since other brands with same hardware get sources... Like elephone, vernee... Good example is umi super and elephone p9000 use almost same hardware helio p10 mediatek umi no source code but elephone 18 months ago allready?

Resurrection Remix for its possibilities of personalization

Is there anything new?
I have the impression that there is no really working Custom ROM for the Z Pro.

Sorry, there is nothing working at the moment. Also, take note that my effort of porting a custom rom is for UMi Z and not UMi Z Pro at the moment. But I guess the two devices are not too dissimilar though.

Can I update my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8000) to Android Oreo Or Android Pie?

I am a beginner to XDA Developers Forums and I own this device which is pretty old now (Launched in 2012). I just wanted to ask if I can update this device to Android Oreo or even to Pie by any means (Custom ROMS, Stock ROMS, Roots, etc.)? I heard that Custom ROMS are the ultimate revival of old Android Devices but I could find only Android Nougat ROMS which is pretty old, considering that it launched almost 3 Years Ago.

No stock custom roms only .
Lineage roms are the only ones posted .

Which LineageOS ROM is based on Oreo and is available for N8000?
Can you please tell me the link of the LineageOS ROM based on Android Oreo for N8000?

You will have to look yourself not many to see.

If you want to develop lineage os oreo/pie for galaxy note 10.1, why don't you contact CM twam or just go to LOS forum?

So where are the Roms exactly? Is there a good procedure to follow?

ROMS are in development sections
Best practice is to read and understand first.

Custom ROM Support for Zenfone 6

I know this would be a hard question to answer right now but how would be custom ROM development community for Asus Zenfone 6? I am thinking of buying this device and really want custom ROM supports as the default Asus UI is not what I want to be stuck with. Considering that Asus has released the kernal sources and also provided devices to developers for development, I hope that we would be able to see custom ROMs like Havoc, RR, Lineage or OxygenOS port.

You must have missed the news but it's looking likely it will as they supporting developers https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-custom-rom-twrp-lineageos/
