What about LineageOS ?
Hey its me rares , lineage i found the worst , because it drains so much battery
And also i will try today miui

What's the SOT?
I found best battery is stock rom 5.9.26S from ALBA in Russia forum you can download it here:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3rWz/V8e4aZYBE
Or Madsurfer stock rom 5.9.26S with Sense home launcher
Nougat rom try Ground Zero roms Tipsy, Validus, Tesla normally it got pretty good battery life with good performance.

Used it last night for 2 1/2 hours sot to 50% so I'm assuming 6 hours. Just feels so much more smooth and solid than linage or RR or aosp based ROMs. Way smoother than eui.
It's miui8 port a little bit tricky to get it to boot properly the 1st time but well worth it I have Xposed installed. Freedom

I usually get 5.1/2 - 6 hours SoT on RR which is pretty decent. You just need to find the right settings for long battery life.
Small EUI could potentially outperform RR in the field of batterylife , but I just can't get used to EUI based ROMS after experiencing Nougat features.

Wow. How do you manage to get that! I barely hit 3 and 1/2. It's not that bad, but more sot it's really appreciated

I'm running 7.1.2 RR 27/05 build.
I changed the resolution to 1920*1080/420 dpi. It's more than enough for me, I see no point of watching 1440p content on a mobile screen.
I use Balanced Xana ATK profile (Settings->Leeco Extras->AKT profiles) and Greenify app to limit background running apps.
I turned off the logger buffer sizes (Developer settings). In Display settings turned on adaptive brightness and reduced power consumption (livedisplay). Also turned on batterysaving mode in location settings.
I would like to highlight that If I play any game (usually Mobile Legends) I get around 4 - 4 and a half SoT with approximately 1 hour gameplay.
I also tried out the newer build (02/06) but AKT profiles didn't work in that one (not noticed any differences in Kernel Adiutor), so I've decided to stay on this build for while. But I read that there are new powersaving features in the latest build, you might wanna check that out.

Do you have any link telling more about that Russian ROM? A thread link or something like that. I guess its from 4pda? I've tried to search but got nothing. Seems to be a very lightweight ROM..
Thanks.

It's on Russia forum here I found rom by ALBA for Le Max 2 and Le Pro 3 (different tread): this link for Le Max 2:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=822890
You gotta click under LeEco Le Max2 at the top fourth line in blue text (EUI) and there is 5.9.26S. It's Russian language though not much I can understand.

Interactive cpu governor, alucard hotplug, and no, i didn't underlock. But if you chose a AKT profile, you don't have to necessarily mess with kernel settings, the profile does that.
Now I'm on 13/6 build, so far it's fine. A bit laggy though, I think the BS 2.3 could cause that. Not noticed any difference in battery life.

Hey. Thank you for the great explanation! What was your on the 7.1.2 RR 27/05 build? Can you upload the kernel or the rom itself please? Thx
Edit: I think it can be bs 2.1. I'm using v13.07 of RR N. I flashed that bs kernel. I'm testing it with some Kernel A. changes and stock AKT. I'll add a few SS about my battery usage after the test
Hey guys, recently my father got tired of ****ty MIUI and wanted something better for his Mi 5. Since it's not my phone, I cannot test various ROMs and kernels by clean flashing them.
I just need one ROM that I can switch to on his phone from MIUI.
It needs to be 100% stable (he is sick of bugs), needs to have great calling and bluetooth connection, and great battery life.
Please let me know if such ROM exists for Mi 5, and which one is it
(Do you guys face any issues with bluetooth speakers or taking calls via bluetooth in car?)
You can start with jdcteam's aosp. Has been really solid for me.

I've been using LineageOS with 0 problems so far. But it does take some time to set it up that way. For instance, you need to flash the MIUI camera to improve camera performance, and under display calibration adjust the RGB values to 90% to prevent image retention (a problem on MIUI too).
I can confirm that Bluetooth works fine, calling is clear and battery life is good but not better/worse than MIUI. I haven't tried taking calls over a car's Bluetooth.
You should also check out the Xiaomi.eu weekly MIUI 9 builds as they usually fix what Xiaomi broke in their MIUI builds and are actually supported by Xiaomi.

Thank you for the recommendations guys. Are you using the stock kernel or any custom kernel like BB kernel, Nagatobimaru etc?
What is your opinion about AOSPA and RR ?
AOSP Extended all the way. Using it from past 3 months.

Nagatobimaru kernel has terrible battery life for me (like 1h30m SOT even though I was initially excited to try it out because it incorporates EAS). I use LOS stock freq kernel, which removes the underclock of the 32GB Mi5 from 1.8GHz to 2.15GHz but is otherwise just the stock LOS kernel. On this kernel I get between 3-4h30m SOT.
AFAIK LOS is the only ROM with display calibration and all the others have no way to fix the severe image retention which is my main reason for sticking with it. If it doesn't bother you or affect your unit then I can highly recommend AEX which seems to be the ROM 90% of the devs are on.

What do you mean by the image retention issue? And what have you calibrated? As far as I understand, you have just tweaked the RGB values of the screen. Can you tell me your values? I think the same thing can be done via Kernel Adiutor if you are on a kernel that supports KCAL. AFAIK, stock LOS kernel doesn't have it but most ROMs and all custom kernels have it.
What about AOSP by JDC team, it appears very stable with EAS?

Yes, it's the same problem - I am unaware whether this is a software or hardware problem, but you can correct it 100% with software. It looks like lightbleed right around the border of the phone and you can see ghosting of previus apps around the corners (especially on a grey background). It's easy to fix in LineageOS, but I've had trouble in every other ROM I tried so far.

It looks light an orange tinted lightbleed right around the borders of the display and some ghosting of previous apps are overlayed on the current app (especially visible on grey backgrounds). Check the attached image to see what mean, and this is only about 50% of how bad it can get if you don't adjust for it.
Yes I just tweaked the RGB values to 90% (anything more and you can still notice the effect).
I tried using Kernel Adiutor to fix this problem to no avail, using different ROM and kernel combinations. I never checked if the kernel supports KCAL specifically though.
It's been too long since I used JDC's ROM, but if I remember correctly it was stable and fast but lacked essential features at the time (music playback controls, lockscreen torch, display calibration settings). Their Oreo ROM is far ahead of Lineage 15 in in terms of stability though, not that it's DD ready.

Woah thanks for sharing this man, I didn't know about this, can you please share the screenshot of the settings you have made?
I have the same issue and I can't decide which ROM to flash. MIUI 8 is too laggy, MIUI 9 is faster but all apps crash randomly. I will unlock my phone tomorrow (after the stupid 72 hours waiting period) and I am hoping that this discussion will help us decide. Most probably it will be a choice between Xiaomi.eu or LOS.

As someone who recently used both Xiaomi.eu and LOS14.1 I might be able to clear that up.
Xiaomi.eu MIUI9 build is almost identical to MIUI 8. There are a few minor tweaks to the UI such as the task switcher which is now more immersive and the new icon pack. Settings are now more bundled together and ROM/System info is graphically displayed. Split screen multitasking seems to be the only new feature. I haven't experienced a single app crash, but the system animation speed was set way to fast by default and transition animations show tearing each time you switch apps. In short, it's fast but not smooth.
I switched back to LOS quite quickly. The only feature MIUI has that LOS doesn't is Dual Apps, and since I don't use that the choice was very simple. LOS is much smoother and faster, with minimal features on top of AOSP. I enjoy the additions, it doesn't feel bloated or barebones.
If you are going to use LOS, I recommend doing the following:
-If you have a 32GB Mi5, flash the LOS stock freq kernel
-Set the display calibration as per my previous posts
-Activate touch home button, always on fingerprint unlock
-Install Magisk
-Flash MIUI camera Magisk module + OISprop-Magisk
-Flash iYTBP Magisk module
-Flash unified hosts Adblock Magisk module (make sure to select systemless hosts in Magisk settings)
-Install Google camera HDR+
-Use Nova (paid) or Lawnchair (free) as the launcher
That should get you going and solve most if not all annoyances coming from MIUI. You'd be amazed with the quality of Google Camera HDR+! Just check the attached samples (they are all compressed due to Xda but you'll get the point).

I have the 32 GB version and I already purchased Nova Launcher and use no matter what. I will have to find the addons you mentioned as I have no idea what they do. It's the first time I install a custom ROM on my MI 5. One final question, do you have any thoughts on AOSP Extended?

I can add all the files you need to a dropbox folder and share the link if that would be easier? I find that the Mi5 is super easy to modify, you shouldn't worry too much. I'll add the firmware you need and GAPPS if that would help you transition.
Yes, AEX is a great ROM with many features. Most Devs seem to be on it (going by their discussions). I haven't found a way to fix my LCD issues on AEX yet, which is the main reason for not using it currently.

You need to run the apk after you flashed the magisk module and rebooted your phone to calibrate the OIS.
Ok so Holi(A festival in India) is coming up & I have 4 days off, I thought this would be a nice time to upgrade to Oreo 8.1 from SlimROM Nougat 7.1.2 with my 200 apps also consisting of root, xposed & substratum dependent apps. After a quick search, I found that there were many ROMs that are marked as stable like the Pixel Experience ROM, Nitrogen OS but I've heard reports that all of them have a network standby battery drain bug. I won't have time after Holi for any ROM switching so I want to make sure the ROM I'm selecting doesn't have any bugs. Every customization feature I need is covered by xposed modules, so I don't need any ROM specific features, must just properly support substratum root mode & must be close to AOSP. Can anyone suggest a stable bug-free Oreo 8.1 ROM for the RN3 & also confirm whether the network standby battery bug exists or not? Thanks.
The network standby bug is there on nos. But the battery usage is still around the same as nougat, maybe a little lower. I think its some problem with the battery statistics where it just reports network as the main cause of drain, while actually its not.
Go for omni. If you can stay without a lot of customization then omni ir cardinal sgould be good. On top of that flash a kernel. Shadow or Agni are the ones that have goodix support in oreo. Personally agni is robust. I had been using omni with agni 12.2 and i get SOT's like 10-11 hours(moderate use).
Hey team!
I wanted to start this discussion by knowing which setup you prefer the most:
Example:
1. Havoc OS
2. Shadow Kernel
3. Magisk Modules: GPU Rendering, LKT, Universal GMS Doze
4. SOT: 8-9 Hrs (Moderate usage, Pokemon Go for 2 hours, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram)
5. Idle Drain: 10% in 8 hours
6. Naptime, Servicely
I believe this will help people deciding people which setup to use!
Hope we can get a lot of feedback, thank you!
Since I dont care about battery life I just use the premade rom by dev
example
HavocOS - with kernel that comes with it.
No battery saver / profile etc.
Got 6-7hr sot 30hr+- bot
without details, its miui 9.6.25 oreo
I am only getting 4 hours screen on time so I have begun to make battery saving choices on my phone and I want to share them with you.
I am using latest AOSIP ROM and just minutes ago changed to Sphinx kernel in hope of improving battery. For some reason Android system uses about 16 % of my battery.
Battery saving app choices with AMOLED screens:
Kiwi browser (night mode makes the app black and also changes the site backgrounds black. Also you can move address bar to bottom)
Vanced black youtube (can be installed via Magisk)
AOSIP completely black system theme
Business calendar (black background)
Pocket casts (black podcast player)
Change whatsapp background to black
I don't install apps like Facebook that run in the background and poll the internet constantly in hopes of saving battery.
I am coming from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with fantastic battery life so this has been a bummer.
I really like AOSIP and wouldn't want to change. Other people don't complain about it's battery so I wonder why Android system uses so much battery. I hope the new Sphinx kernel helps me.
Change to Sphinx kernel and install of Magisk module LKT with battery profile improves dramatically my battery life and I haven't seen any side effects.
73 % battery remaining after a day. Screen on time 1 hour and 45 minutes with light usage of WhatsApp and browser mainly.
Edit: 49 % remaining after 3 hours 52 minutes SOT. Very happy with the phone now!
