Before someone comments that I should try a few by myself and choose myself, hear me out. I'm installing this on my mom's phone, and replacing MIUI because its getting really laggy. I use a different phone so here looking for recommendation. Should be stable with frequent updates. Thanks a lot guys in advance.
i dont think installing custom rom on "mom's phone" is a good idea -_-
BTW, miui is not laggy (seriously, how can u say that miui is laggy??)
if you're getting trouble with miui, factory reset the phone, or fastboot flash latest miui stable rom.
better not to experiment parent's phone with custom roms
here is some recommendation (as u asked for it)
1. Nitrogen OS ( Based on Nougat, for great battery backup )
2. Resurrection Remix ( Based on both Marshmallow & Nougat, for better customization)
3. Linage OS 14.1 ( Based on Nougat, better stability)
nitrogen OS for better battery (31.03 build) and Lineage for better stability, as simoom said. Both are actually really stable but lineage is bugfree and it has franco's support for its legendary kernel
Btw, i'm currently using nitrogen 31.03 build and i can't complain of almost anything. There's just some sort of hanging, rarely tho, at opening some apps, lasts about 2 seconds, but happens under unknown circumstances. I gotta say i haven't ever found a bug on Lineage, but the battery on Nitrogen is double the better than on Lineage

It is laggy IMO. I use a Nexus 4 and that's faster than note 3. Maybe because of numerous bloatware and mi services. Thanks for the recommendation, will try nitrogen os.

Well, as i said, i never had an issue with lineage, nor camera since the camera patch.
Latest versions of miui i heard have heavily improved in terms.of performance and battery.
Miui is better than every other rom in terms of stability however lineage is also good
And rn3 have very good support of community
if you are going to install on your mom's phone then only 1 option: LineageOS official Nightly.
What are your opinions on resurrection remix vs lineage is at their current and future stages? I just received my mido from China and I would like to install a custom rom into it. I'm torn between lineage and resurrection. What makes lineage better than resurrection, as RR has much better customisation but I'm concerned about updates. Which is better in you opinion?
I'm looking for stability over customisations.
I had been using Cyanogenmod/Lineage on a Samsung S3 Mini and my current Moto G 4G. I found them to be similar in terms of stability and never encountered any deal-breaking bugs on both operating systems. Back when I started using Custom OSes on the little Samsung, I installed every single ROM update as soon as I could. That has changed, and I update every 1-3 months if there are no major issues. I prefer Resurrection Remix because of its better customization options and when my Redmi Note 4 arrives in what I hope to be 2 weeks' time, I'll install RR on that one as well.
On my RN3P ive been using RR for a long time. First marshmallow release and now the nougat release. What I experienced there is a faster bug fixing (camera nougat patch has been included way faster in official builds then on lineage) and a very active community on XDA.
Flashed my Mido yesterday with RR and I'm pretty happy with it. Camera shutter has a delay and video recording is kinda slow but beside of that everything works out of the box for me. I tried lineage several times but I miss so many functions which are only available on RR...
Is lineage updated more regularly? As there have barely been updates for RR since it's release for mido

Both will get updates, as dev said LineageOS going to be official once the kernel sources gets released, you know about RR, it's already Official.
rr is more flexible and complicated while lineage is stable
I installed today LineageOS latest version and now I find it has something missing like "no blue filtering" mode. In addition, After installing even today I got a pop saying to install latest update and went for this too but don't know why the downloading gets stopped suddenly after sometime. I noticed this to happen more than 5 time. Now I give up updating and considering to move to Remix.
I recommend RR
I used both of them. But I feel RR is more customizable, flexible, complicated & stable. I recommend to flash RR who want to mess up with all UI.
Came across this, thought I'd share my views. I bought this phone 2 days ago and am waiting for the bootloader to unlock thereafter once I'm done playing with the stock ROM, will promptly Install CrDroid.
I've had CrDroid on my Honor 5x & HTC one m8, never encountered any issues and found it to be very stable with all features working.
If I recall it's derived of both Lineage + RR and that's evident through the customisation it offers + stability - maybe you can give that a try?
Hey all RN3 users <3
Now I'm leaving MIUI stock rom , they did not resolve any bug I report so I decided to go back to Custom Roms .. But every rom here I read replies all complain about issues " Core Issues " indeed .. So should I stick with official as you see it less buggy ! or there is a rom can do the job with no issues !
Thanks in advance mates.
Mostly all nougat roms do a better job than miui . If a custom rom have issues, these will be fixed very quickly, not like the ones in miui, which takes months to devs to fix..
You can use Official Lineage OS, Nitrogen OS, AOSP Extended, AOSIP, there are more good roms to try, it depends only by your preferences and what you expect from that rom. If you want a lot of customizations and stability, you can go with AOSIP, i have it now and it`s very stable and smooth, but that does not mean that others are not as good..
So is it stable with no major issues ? or FC !
Almost all roms are stable with no major issues.
@Kollachi is AOSIP has the option to install fonts :$
I can recommend you to use ResurectionRemix based on android 7.1. This is 4th May 23:30 in my time zone, and I am using nighty build from 2nd May 2017, and have no issues. (except that facebook lite and messanger lite apps not getting notifications until I wake my phone. It can be because i played with battery saving settings. I tried the 3rd May build but fingerprint didn't work, and not tested 4th May build. In shis rom you have a lots of settings and customisations out of the box, and you have Magisk root out of the box, and full substratum support (you need just install it from Google Play). The battery life is as good as on MIUI, so for me it is the best but you should test and decide.
@kuba3351 Thats what I'm talking about , RR builds has many many bugs
LOS14.1 is basic, stable, not a lot of customizations.
AOSPEX, is really stable but sometimes get something like you have to flash the camera binaries for no reason at all, a lot of customizations too. (just came from that)
NOS, is really custom, but i only use it for like 3 hours (i like stock roms)
They're all good though.
Also if you use magisk and don't wanna any problems try to pick one with no inbuild root. (I got some issues with that)
Use RR its also stable and has customizations .i never got any bug ..
Thanks for reply bro , but RR Topic full of bugs !
I flashed AOSIP .. LIKE IT for now 5h xD
AOSPExt has solved camera problem long time ago best rom if you are not bothered about lte network signal
aosip have full oms support, so i think you can install fonts with it.. And among all nougat roms, i found aosip have most stable signal (is based on pure caf) and have a lot of customizations. I haven`t encountered any issue until now
Yes, there are bugs in RR, because it has only testing nighty builds appearing everyday. I don't know why it is not building stable version once a week or once a month, but it is possible to test and find a good build that don't have serious bugs, and you will get a very good rom. You can also use Lineage OS or AOSP because people telling you that these ROMS are stable. It is your decision. I will stay at 2nd May build of RR until June then try to test upcoming builds.
Another intresting thing is Salfosh OS, but it can't run android apps. Unfortunately developer's device was stolen, and development became very slow, because without a device, dev must often ask people for logcat, testing etc. So the rom is not stable enough for daily use, so didn't tested in, but if it will be, and run android apps, it can be the best rom.
@cristiandiaconu6 Yea I like it now its my Rom ^^ crashed one time while pressed system option many time at once
aha I heard about this rom , RR was my best rom for my old Galaxy S2 .. but with RN3 i faced many bugs for the first flash so I left it for good untill they release the stable one , AOSIP lokks good for me now
@milav I will give it a try soon (;
I used LineageOS 14 until with one nightly I was stuck at trebuchet loop, where nobody could help me to get rid of it. Then I tried NitrogenOS and after a few weeks I can say that ROM is really stable and can be used as a daily driver. The only problem I had was that AdAway was not gaining root from built-in root, so I unrooted it and installed SuperSU.
Tried NOS too , good performance but I got bug or two I do not remember so I left it down !
try xaiomi.eu roms global or developper ,all miui roms and miui depended custom roms are better than other custom roms especially AOSP roms
Guys I am on miui 9 but I want to swap to a custom rom. So which will be the best custom rom for the device (Indian Variant) till the date (Dec 17)? Testers and devs please reply. I hope this will be a useful for new users too on XDA.
There are tons of Roms to choose from...
Currently I'm on LineageOS 15 unofficial build by @abhishek987, this just Rocks.
About nougat Roms? Yeah, there are already bunch of Nougat Roms.
Bugs?
NOMMUCH, but the flash color is yellow (just an FYI)
I think Oreo is not ready just yet.. I am on RR and I enjoy it a lot! Alexey provides unofficial build frequently, and they have absolutely no problem. Everything is great, and if you need customization, it is the way to go. If you want a near stock experience go for LineageOS, 14.1 or 15, tor choice.
I would like a LineageOS based rom. Then What will be your suggestions on L14 Based stable rom? And I am recently following your Index of The device. Thanx in adv mate @sachin n
Yeah I am a Big fan of RR. Is the RR 5.8.5 stable? Cause i saw on the thread saying that It is Final but status is still Testing So If you can suggest me any stable nougat version of RR with link then that will be so much helpful and bugs in short if there any. Thnx you man in adv. @ToRt1sher
Ii has been incredibly stable for me. I think 0 crash/ random restart since day 1! I am on the unofficial build, which does not have a dedicated thread. But half the post on that thread refer to the unofficial one. The only bad thing is that there are 2 different builds, each with different LED notification driver. If it doesn't behave properly you will have to flash the other one, but that's like, a ten minute business.
Is this the Rom's link you are talking about?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/mido/
Please confirm if. If it is not then kindly share the link @ToRt1sher
@sachin n which kernel do you use with Linos 15 , stock or somthing else
Stock only
I recommand los 14.1 It's very stable, lightweight and you can root it without losing ota function...everything is fine!
This is the official. It is certainly very good, but outdated by 2 months. Alexey just made a final build a few days ago..
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329064493
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617949855
These are the 2 builds, with different LED drivers. Try them out, pick the one that works with your specific device.
Crdroid and resurrection remix
All the ROMS are crap here.... some form of bugs are present.. If you want to live with it, use them. If you are going to use BHIM for online transactions then rooted phones are not supported. Better to use official MIUI rom which has most of the features.
@viewedit Did you try magisk hide or root cloak (xposed) to use bhim? works on my slim rom?
Hi guys! I am making this thread so that we could have a place to tell the community which is the most satisfying ROM and kernel in our opinion and experience that you have used or most probably are using right now. Guys it would be really helpful if you share what qualities make that ROM or kernel most satisfying in your opinion like bb or performance or something unique about that ROM or kernel. Guys I welcome you to share any special settings (ROM or ka) you have done to achieve that satisfaction. So guys do share and help the community and show gratitude to respective developers as well .....
Thank You!
My choice is crdroid nougat official with stock kernel. Super stable and nice bb for my usage. I'm using it right now. No special settings. Just extreme battery saver all the time.
I think that the combination ofofficial RRos nougat and beacon kernel is very stable. I'm using it right now
I haven't used many ROMs but the most satisfying ROM for me is Viper Coral [nouget ]. Its butter smooth and best batter backup. It also doesn't have slow charging problem unlike other Oreo ROMs . It take only 2-2.5 hours to complete charge the device. Since I am not a Jio user I don't know about volte.
for me it's the viper os coral 3.1.1 final by impulsar it even shows certified in device status in play store , it's the most stable rom for me gr8 bb no volte issue nothing it's the best with stock kernel & also with beacon
Both vipers are great I.e. impulsar's and dinesh's both are certified in play store
Unofficial CrDroid by difr
Extreme performance!
Yup.. True.. Extreme performance.. Butter smooth, excellent multitasking possibilities. Good battery backup (but not the best), but wen compared to performance, this is more than sufficient.. Excellent work by developer.. Kudos..
liquid remix, stock kernel.
I am very pleased with AEX 4.6 and the Spicey Kernel. Great battery backup, responsiveness and performance, GCamMod and everything else is working. The only downside is that it is not actively maintained anymore, so no new security updates. As I had several problems with Oreo ROMs and their GAPPS, I hope that the developers will iron out these issues to make the switch sometime in the future (the unofficial crDroid build was promising, but GAPPS didn't work there for me).

Yes, I had issues with the 8.1 April 1st release (pico and nano) from opengapps.org. I first flashed the ROM, rebooted and then flashed GAPPS and I got "play services stopped" as soon as I try to setup my device. And as I did mention in the other posts, I've tried other ROMs and TWRPs as well with the same reproducible result and ran out of options there. Hence I got back to AEX 4.6 and even flashing it together with GAPPS went without problems wheras I get bootloops if I flash them together with Oreo ROMs.

I did try even older ones from December, but that did not work as well. Look overe here in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/help/flash-oreo-roms-t3743439/page4
Some people found a solution which worked for them, but I haven't tried them myself yet.
Bootleggers and unofficial crdroid by difr
I have used many custom roms with stock and beacon combo (excluding treble as beacon for treble is not out yet)
I vote for Bootleggers ROM.
It's a complete package with 99.9% pure android bug-less experience. All features work flawlessly. Best thing about this rom is Battery Backup. it's amazing, a LOT more compared to any other rom be it Nitrogen RR Firehound Cr AEX LiquidRemix Viper PixelExperience MIUI etc. I have tried them all but finally Bootleggers compelled me to stick with it for Battery Backup and almost NO bugs.
My latest choice - AEX oreo build by Woivod
AEX oreo build by Woivod, hands down.
