My 3rd Le Max 2 arrived today, a Christmas gift for my daughter. I got my wife the same phone 1 year ago, flashed LOS, and she's still driving it today. I ordered one for myself back in March, and the display died in June So my daughter wanted a phone for Christmas. I took my chances and ordered yet another Max 2 from China.
I'm on the fence as to what to do. To flash or not to flash? I'm leaning toward flashing for the security patches, if nothing else. But of coarse I also think she'll enjoy the more android stock-like experience. Then again, Nova launcher might just save the day.
What are your opinions? What's a good stable ROM recommendation? She won't want deep customizations, etc., so more focus on stability, performance, and/or battery. We're going to try MintSIM (Tmobile) with Google Voice for a while and see how it goes. So VOLT may not matter if she's using GV for voice, although not sure. Fp unlock isn't a priority.
Thanks much!
For stability, honestly I recommend EUI as it's the OEM's software. If you'd like stuck android experience, stick to nougat roms for now. Omni is very good. So is slim. This is my opinion on it
Heyyo, I agree with KuranKaname. OmniROM is the best custom ROM for those who are unfamiliar with custom ROMs as it is built for stability and is also the only custom ROM on the Le Max 2 with official SafetyNet certification without needing any workarounds such as Magisk Hide and such.
Just to be clear, I'm talking about OmniROM 7 Nougat and not Omni 8 Oreo which are experimental builds and not official thus it doesn't have SafetyNet Certification... So stick with OmniROM 7 Nougat for meow.
I dunno how the latest builds of LineageOS are but in that thread I've seen reports of people having issues upgrading to the latest weekly builds from builds in October but no idea why that is...
Best rom for Le max2 only cuoco92 23s mm

MarD, I went with OMNI. Little hickup with security settings, posted an inquiry in the OMNI thread. Can't setup fp sensor and can't use Smart Lock. But not a huge deal.
IMO, custom roms can be fussy, only because the users that come here are so PICKY !! So hats off to the devs. Sometimes everything just doesn't quite work, but it's usually much better than the alternative stock rom

I have seen plenty of negative reviews about this phone, some people complain about the fingerprint sensor, others about screen issues... I really like the divece specs but I'm hesitant about buying it, I'm between this phone and the xiaomi remdi note 4x. Please if you have the phone, how long have you had it and do you have any issues?
Heyyo, for the fingerprint reader? It works amazing on the stock international ROM but it will only function properly on custom ROMs with a modem firmware flash to Chinese latest modem or developer version.
I have an x829 4GB ram and 64GB storage I bought from coolicool. I've had it since the middle of March.
The stock ROM is some kind of modified EUI ROM so it won't receive support from LeEco and only through the company you bought the phone but tbh I hated this modified international EUI. It has extremely aggressive automatic ram clearing thus some apps fail to send notifications for new emails (outlook) at random same with some other apps. Plus YouTube randomly froze the video feed and the quick toggles placed in the recent apps section instead of the notification drop down also sucks... So I didn't end up staying on the stock EUI international ROM for long lol. EUI ROM is a perfect example of "if it's not broke don't fix it"... EUI would have been better if it was closer to stock with tweaks on top... Mainly automatic RAM clearing and the notification quick toggles.
It is easy to unlock OEM bootloader so it should be darn easy to lock it again. I made a TWRP backup of everything so it should be super easy for me to go back completely to stock if I need to.
Custom ROMs are pretty good. Mokee and Ressurection Remix are fantastic Marshmallow ROMs and for Nougat? They're still in development but so far Resurrection Remix Nougat has been pretty darn good albeit it is pre rooted and heavily modified so it fails Safety Net so fingerprint reader may not work with some banking apps same with Android pay.
Currently there isn't Vulkan or Daydream support on the Nougat ROMs but that might come in time.
So what I'm saying is... The only problems I've had with mine are purely software. RR MM or Mokee MM are perfect but I love helping with ROM development with testing plus seeing upcoming changes that I can't help myself and be on Nougat even if there's bugs heh
Would I recommend the x829 like mine? Yes to those who don't mind tweaking with custom ROMs. Marshmallow ROMs are perfected now and Nougat development is exciting. I don't regret this purchase.
I highly recommend checking LTE band compatibility to your carrier before purchasing. In Canada with Koodo mobile it works perfectly as it has the required bands.

Hi
Thank you very much for replaying your really helped me a lot, I'm buying the phone and sice I'm not really god at this stuff I'll aske a really god friend of mine whos's a profesional in the matter to help me with the ROM and stuff lol, thanks a lot.
You're very welcome! It is easy to unlock the boot loader to install TWRP and custom ROMs. Check out this detailed guide which is exactly how I did it

Hi folks,
Just got my Scorpio few days ago.
I'm not new to recovery twrp custom roms and others.
I was previously on a Zuk Z2 pro with Mokee that was a great rom.
The only thing i noticed on all custom roms is that they are never as much fully functional as the stock rom.
Just a little poll to know about your feelings on all the custom roms available with that Xiaomi Scorpio.
Currently, I'm on miui 9.6.1.0 based on 8.1 .
I've tried also lineageos but i need your feedback.
So just post something like "Best os tested: XXXX" E.G
Especially on ? life i care.
Thanks guys
You can try MiuiPro if you don't mind the fact that you need to pay 1.5 euro a month to download it and the slower updates than other custom MIUIs.
MiuiPro gave me the best performance and battery life for a custom MIUI ROM. Others like xiaomi.eu , mi-globe, miui ms or hellas are good but not as good as MiuiPro seems to be...
If you would consider to really get into a stable custom ROM that is not based on the MIUI sources, the last AEX can be a great choice.
The thing about custom ROMs for scorpio is that almost all of them are based on the same sources, so, you should get almost the same experience with performance and battery in every ROM. AEX is the one that stands out because it has a lot of features that enlightens the user experience.
This is strictly my opinion and the way i see things around here.
Hope you find your perfect ROM. We have official Mokee if you want to try it, you just have to go to their official site. It's maintaned by a chinese guy. I believe it uses his own sources which, from what i can tell , because i've tested it, it's a very good competitor to other ROMs.
Also, enjoy your new phone, welcome to the community and happy flashing!

Heyy
Thanks for your perfect answer.
I will give a look at AEX though.
Thanks!!
I have tried almost any Custom ROM out there for the Mi Note 2: I started with the MIUI-based ones and then moved away looking for something better, without so many customizations.
- MIUI Developer has been a quick-try, but I soon abandoned it. Too much bloatware for my requirements, slow developments and an overall grade of customization that rendered impossible using some android functions. (some examples: android pay, contactless payments with 3rd party apps, biometric advanced unlock not reliable, notifications were a total mess, background apps force-closed by system despite all settings, etc.)
- xiaomi.eu has been a nice start, but it is still very similar to MIUI and without significant improvements. Development is quite constant, but most of the times BUGs are depending on the source MIUI, hence most limitations are the same. Battery life is quite incoherent: for some weeks it may be fine and then for a couple of versions it could be terrific.
- Mi Globe has been another quick-try: it is just a basic MIUI with a bunch of “mods” stacked on top of it, all hold together with a bit of glue and some spare tape. A lot of “smoke” but quite often based on an old core. Definitely something I would not recommend.
- MIUI MS was even worse than Mi Globe in my opinion. Also, main support is non-English based.
- MIUI PRO did not made its way into the list of ROMs I could even consider. If I have to pay for a custom ROM, I would have stayed on Apple. But that is my humble opinion.
- Ressurrection Remix by Stonetrapper was the first Custom ROM that really gave me satisfaction, both with performances and graphical customization. Unfortunately it wasn’t officially supported, so updates were sparse and soon become obsolete. A major problem for me was the incompatibility with most – if not all – GCAM porting.
- Ressurection Remix by PSY was a brief try. I don’t like performances of the custom-tailored kernel by that developer: too much power-hungry. Also, there was the same problem with updates that I bumped into with RR.
- Tesla N was a nice experiment, but with too many bugs and an overall lack of following development. Battery optimization in the end, however, was really nice.
- AOSP Extended was another experiment soon to be deleted: lack of development, too many errors with too many applications.
- SlimROM has been a nice companion for a while, good performance, good battery life. But again, Kernel optimizations were too much power-hungry and in the end has become unstable for my usage.
- crDroid was just a burning star, at least for me. Tried and went over pretty soon. None of the purposed “optimizations” were significant for me, but battery life was among the best.
- dotOS never made its way after day 6 on my device. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for stability.
- CosmicOS was a great ROM, I enjoyed using it while updates were constant. Then It became troubling with more recent apps, and has a lot of problems with recent GCAM ports.
- AEX has ben a kind of “hate-love” for me. Nice customizations, but in the end too many custom choices rendered it difficult to integrate on daily usage for me. (personally I didn’t find it smooth and lag-free as described).
- LineageOS has been my arriving point in all my experience with Custom ROMs: it has a strong Android core bringing all the most recent Android features and functionalities to my Note 2. It is kind of “barebone out-of-the-box” since there is no customization and you will need to tweak and adapt to your needs. It may require more time at the beginning, with a steep learning curve, but on the long term, it is worth the shot. I’m happily using the Official Nightly straight from LineageOS Download Page: updates are constant, performance is exceptional (provided you take time to iron-out some kernel optimizations according to your needs) and battery life is really good. There is full compatibility with GCAM ports (provided of course you pick the one which works best on Mi Note 2) and all Android Core Functions (like NFC Payments, that are crucial for me) works good. Plus, with some Magisk Modules I could choose which aspects – derived from official Pixel – I want to include and I’m really happy with the final result.
Please note that this is just a brief summary of my personal experience with the aforementioned ROMs, and thus it represents a personal opinion that has no intention whatsoever to diminish and/or deny and/or belittle he hard work of all developers.
I hope my experience could help you finding the best ROM for your needs.

Wow what a full answer !!
I was previously on CM13 with my OPO, and move to Mokee on my Zuk Z2 Pro so LineageOS would be pretty simple for me to deal with it.
I currently trying the miui latest based on Android 8.0, and it seems fine, but indeed, the customization is not as much easier that on LOS (CM Based).
I will go with LOS latest though and provide some feedback.
But what about camera ? I've read here and there that all custom roms are suffering from camera issues.
What is the best alternative to make it work properly ?
And, which Magisk module do you recommend ?
Thanks !!

My top three are:
1. Miui Pro
2. Android Pie (pixel port)
3. Pixel rom
Excuse me, I'm new here and this is the first time I ask something in the XDA Community. So I'm sorry if I have a bad English or question of a newbie...
I like to experience Custom Roms before. I tested it on my Oneplus One and experienced the Lineage OS (because Cyanogen is no more). I like Lineage OS, but I saw that Lineage OS is still an Unofficial build for Poco. and the downside of Lineage OS is the camera app (for my opinion).
So what I want to ask is what is the best and official custom rom for Poco F1? including the best android security, great developers that give update frequently and the best performance. I think that the Resurrection, Lineage, Pixel Experience and AOSP is the best candidate (because I love stock android). but can you tell me which one is the best among others? (frequent update and great community is what I'm searching for, at least the ROM can be fixed if there is a bug, and fast)
Thank you for your time.
disclaimer: i'm awaiting delivery of the device!!!
from what i've read, for full features you need to stick with MIUI sripped back/debloated, for now at least. there's miui.eu which is debloated or globe rom @ rom builder where it's based on the stripped back EU rom but some extra tweaks customised by us (by selecting expert mode and selecting what to keep/remove. further debloating may be required, can't check as i'm yet to take delivery of the device, but i'll go with globe until LOS is more accomplished. hope it helps
By far LineageOS 16!
Stable and solid build, and important for our device a well implemented notch.
No strange glitches, Bluetooth works better than stock miui and with audiofx a more dynamic sound over Bluetooth.
Have no experience with Pixel experience so far, nitrogen os seems to be nice to.
And carbon ofc

so theres a MIUI without bloatware you mean? is it affect the performance? i just upgrades to miui 10 global beta. and i must say, the only thing that exciting is you can adjust the call and media volume separately if you are playing games and simultaneosly calling someone.
other than that, pretty decent stuffs like new UI and other things. the most bothering thing is sometimes the notch area glitch out that preview your home wallpaper while playing game or open app that doesnt support fullscreen mode.
get globe rom customized trust me you'll love it. its miui w/ stupid bloats

I personally adore Lineage. but I am not sure because it is an unofficial build. so is it a workaround that make Lineage works with Poco? or do you recommend that I just wait for the Official build from Lineage?

Okay I will give Lineage a try. Thanks guys for the answers and discussions.
LineageOS 16 is rock stable but it isn't the fastest (Antutu about 224.000). I've tried out NitrogenOS Pie Beta and it's more fluid (Antutu about 267.000) and everything works fine. At least I gave Liquid Remix 10.0.1 a chance. There are more settings options else it's very stable and fast.
Hi Guys!
After one year on MIUI I think I'm ready to switch to a custom ROM on my Pocophone.
My top priorities for a ROM are: Stability, Battery Life and Security. I do not need any particular features since I do not play on the phone, just normal Email/browsing/youtube usage.
I read that at the moment the 2 most complete and reliable ROMs are LineageOS and PixelExperience, I know that the evaluation is always subjective but what would be the best ROM to go considering my needs?
Thanks a lot!
I use crDroid
I use omni for the best stability
Crdroid!
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions given so far! =)
Hassle free. Go Pixel Experience. Im on it. Using it with no problem.

Try CrDroid and Havoc (22Aug19 build) ONCE, and You won't go back to PE ; ever!
Thanks a lot guys! I've decided to try PE first and so far I'm very pleased with it, Slick, simple and without too many whistles!
Thanks to everyone =)
Same dilemma as yours

So I just got a new Poco F1 and have the exact same confusion.
I am a student and work part time as well. So I need reliability here.
PE 9.0 and PE Plus both are listed are stable but how has your experience been?
Have you tried Cdroid yet?

So, after a few weeks on PE I can say that the experience is quite pleasant, the rom is slick and with just the minimal selection of tool you might need everyday.
Concerning stability, the ROM is generally stable and fast, however it is not a rock-solid experience like MIUI (from time to time you stumble on some bugs/crashing apps).
Battery life is ok (worse than MIUI out of the box) but tweaking the apps restrictions and battery optimization it becomes just as good as the original ROM.
So the bottom line is IMHO:
-If you're looking for stability and a seamless experience, go with MIUI (11 is also coming out now) and maybe get google camera.
-If you are interestend in a slick ROM with minimal tools and you can afford to reboot/wipe the cache from time to time, than PE can be used as daily driver without any issue.
Cheers!
+1 for crDroid, its quite similar to PE, but has some nice customisation on it. Gcam works fine on it too. I'm on the latest 9.0 build, going to wait a whilte before jumping to crDroid 6 / android 10
PE has way to much of google apps. Cr and other are also good choises. If you can get any rom working with microg only you would have awesome device
Hey folks,
Joining in on the aftermarket world after a few years. I recently got the nord 2 and there is some impressive work going on already
Just wanted to touch base with the community to understand the kind of enthusiasts who have this device.
Q; are you using stock OOS or Custom roms?
Q: would you all be interested in some fresh roms, say lineage 20/ aospa topaz, etc?
If there are even a few folks interested and have some time to test out some initial builds, lets talk!
My daily driver since 7 months. Using stock, rooted (Magisk + LSPosed). Switching back to my old OnePlus 7pro though, which I prepared for murena.io (privacy is a great thing).
For that reason I would love to see LOS coming to the Nord 2, because that means that we'll have Murena one day too, probably.
Been using it for nearly a year now. Will keep stock until it stops getting updates.
I would like to see a Lineage build for Android 14 and later for it. Will definitely use it.
Seems like a solid phone that will last me a lot of time.
Would definitely appriciate LineageOS for this device. The stock system is driving me nuts.
Use it as daily driver for about year. Stock oos 11 latest update, rooted through magisk, no TWRP, 0 problems.
I like it a lot. But android security patch became too old, so thinking to switch to LineageOS, Elixir or Pixel experience. Hope that the few bugs without resolve will be fixed very soon. Mostly reports about alert slider and stock cam. Not severe, one can live without the slider and use one of the gcam forks.

Hi, I've been using it for about 2 months, so far I haven't noticed anything.

I think I saw it on 4pda.ru forum but was a bit outdated. Stability and security are essential for mi as I use my phone for work and biz ( as all of us ).
Just saw it published on July. Maybe need to contact devs. Unfortunately don't have enough spare time for hobby development....
Using stock and rooted rom, still on Android 11 though because 12 just plain out sucks.
I would very much love a good stable rom. I come from the Oneplus 3 where ROM support was just simply amazing. Most current roms are busted, suck when it comes to Camera quality or simply crash. Proper support for the Nord 2 is a wet dream at the moment.

It partially works, something's broken because it would often just not switch profiles when the slider was used. It's a good rom but not as stable / smooth. Also, camera quality sucks because it doesn't have the proper drivers / app.

Not so wet dream All GSI based ROMs are in advance states. Being this mediatek device and lack of some drivers make the things worse. Also there is not a lot of testing for this device... Imho.
