The Best and Stable Custom Rom - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

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

But hotspot isn't working on Los with security, a deal breaker for me. Hopefully soon it'll be fixed.

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?

It is unofficial but the developer is part of the LineageOS team.
So nothing to fear.

Haven't tried LOS but I have been using the nitrogen os rom and its very stable. No force closes and battery life is as good as the stock rom.

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.

Best ROM for Stability and Nexus-Like Experience

I haven't found a comparison - what do people recommend for a stable non-buggy ROM?
Comparison between ROM is not appreciated because it is underrating work from Devs done on their free time for free...
Each one has advantage and all are stable for daily use.
If you have some time, flash all of them, and check which do you prefer.
Personnaly, i like customization with animations and so on (UI friendly) so I choosed AEX, Crdroid or RR.
For pixel like experience go with Mokee
LineageOS. all works, fast phone. Best ROM
LineageOS 14.1 seems to be working great as a daily driver right now on my LIW-L24.

I disagree. Taking the "every kid gets a trophy!" approach doesn't reward work that stands out from the rest and doesn't help to advance overall progress and innovation.
Some roms can be better, faster, and/or more stable than others and it's not unfair to say it. It's called constructive criticism and good devs use this to their advantage to better their work.
If I say I prefer rom A over rom B, that's not degrading/underrating/insulting the dev of rom B and if he/she takes it as such then they're in the wrong line of work...regardless of if they're paid for it or not.

It is your personal taste that you prefer A over B.
Its subjective...
You like LOS, i like RR, who s right ? [emoji1]
Sent from my KIW-L21 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
The stability is very important, updates are important, how it merges changes to updated apps is important(Magisk,Supersu, as examples). With all that said, by now, for the 5x, all roms are very stable. Time has been put in, problems fixed, no need to worry.
I like LOS too
I too but pure Nexus is a great choice

Which ROM for my kid?

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

Daily Driver Custom Rom?

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 =)

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

Question Activity check - are people using this 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.

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.

AFAIK, pixel plus ui for mojito is dead. LineageOS is besto rn
I didnt try recent updates of Lineage but it seems very good when i try it a couple months ago. Pixel Os very good but have Safety Net issues as Pixel Experience, already fixed in Feb update but not available yet. Arrow Os is clean af, not having the safety net issue and only bug that i could think of is PUBG force closing but nobody knows anything about Feb update yet. YAAP and Statix Os are good too, Statix already with Feb update and safety net working fine. All of them except Pixel Experience share the same group of devs, so are very good roms indeed and use Neternels kernel which in my opinion is the best. Im on Pixel Experience with Neternels kernel right now waiting for the Feb update on any of those roms to switch and stay hopefully.

Yeah thats right. The only thing that is bugging me about miui is the ram management, i didnt have any serious bug while using it. Trying to find best rom is tiring too, sooo, is you dont have any bugs and want every app working without problems stock is king. If not custom roms are always a better choice than miui.

apart from ram ... miui is soooo damn laggy
it's imposible to use! the most long i stayed on miui was 10 minutes!
and yeah you're totally true... finding a perfect rom is tiring... a lot of clean flash and time spent on testing
so at the end i choose lineage... (not only self promotion) just i want something simple to use rather than thousand of customizations.
Custom ROMs are a must on a Xiaomi Device

Thats right. If he wants to use MIUI i recommend the first rom for his model. In global is 12.0.2, fast (compared with other versions, gaming is stable. Ram management the same sadly. Cons is android 11 and outdated security patch, idk how much troublesome could that be from a normal user security perspective.
