[Discussion] Best costum rom for k20/m9t - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio

Hello Everybody,
The idea behind this thread is to share our experience with costum roms avialable for our device.
To keep it clean I suggest to put exact version of os we're on to avoid comments like "it works for me".
Hope that will help to clear current situation in dev stage.
My current costum-ish one is xiaomi.eu 11.0.3 Stable. As name suggest it's rock solid, miui on top so we can love or hate it, however as it's based on xiaomi software I do not experienced any bugs so far.

I am on stock ROM now MIUI 11 / Android 9. Looking for an opportunity to switch on Android 10 ROM, which have amoled black theme for most of apps in dark mode. Current ROM (stock) even don't have black theme for youtube. So any suggestions are considerable.

MIUIMIX Beta/Weekly.
1 - MIUI in my opinon is superior to AOSP and Lineage, better battery, fit to the hardware.
2 - Updated to the latest and greatest that Xiaomi want on the phone
3 - Very stable, even if the Beta

I don't want my ROMs to wear costumes.

I ran xiaomi.eu with android 10, paranoid alpha 2, evolution x3.3/3.4, pixel experience, all android 10. Best ones are evolution x and paranoid alpha, (pixel experience couldnt play audio on youtube? And videos were stuttering while playback). If you want to be on the safe side, just use xiaomi.eu with android 10, but if you want to try something out, try evo x

Paranoid Android Alpha 2 (Android Q) for me. Very stable, buttery smooth, kickass battery life. If customization is not your priority (but performance is), Paranoid Android takes the cake for me. Cheers.

try RR remix Pie it has minimal to zero bugs, dark mode, lots of customization combined with butterfly kernel v5 and you can use it as a daily driver. i've try miui eu and other custom roms but RR is very stable and it has a good battery back up.

Where can I get the rr ROM?

Hella Rom, pretty good battery life. No bugs, really snappy. Running the last release based in 12.05 Miui release. Tuned to my taste.

Thanks!

BlissPop is one of the best, but Resurrection Remix is also very stable and pretty smooth, with good battery and well working camera.

Pie Rom: Pixel Experience Vs AOSP Extended?

Hi everyone, after upgrading my redmi 5 plus to MIUI 10 and still disappointed about how notifications are handled, I am ready to make the big jump to pie custom roms(yes this is my first xiaomi device and attempt to flash a custom rom). I have narrowed my choice to Pixel Experience Pie vs AOSP Extended V6, which would you recommend to be as stable as MIUI? I am leaning towards Pixel Experience Pie but I am intrigued by how popular AOSP Extended V6 has become. I am also open to any other pie custom rom option that I am not aware of. I am NOT a customisations buff, I just want stability and best battery performance . Looking forward to any your suggestions, thanks
I would recommend PE-Extended as i am using it from day one and its amazing and stable rom with nice battery life.
P.S i only tried first two builds of AOSP Extended so i wouldn't know.

I'll Suggest that you can go for Pixel Experience For Poco F1 and check the review of rom on YouTube, it's the most stable and most preferred rom for daily USAGE. Its ok to hate MIUI as its heavily skinned that's not good for those who prefer stock.
I suggest baikal os. One of the most stable rom.Great battery life and great performance. Give it a try

Have you used crDroid? I am tempted to switch over to pixel experience as I dont really use any of the extra customisations that come with crDroid. I was on LineageOS, but only switched to crDroid as the signal quality wasnt great on Lineage, and crDroid had the signal fix on it. Im guessing PE has the signal fix applied?
I am similar like you, i dont like miui, and i want fully stable rom with minimum custmization, can we make group on telegram? People like us who want to stay close to aosp, and stability
Msg me on telegram https://t.me/MrNohara
Im looking to flash reloaded caf, as its close to aosp, and dev assured that he wont add any more features

Oxygen OS
@falconhossam1, I tested few roms on poco board. And in my opinion AOSiP is the king at this moment (at least for me of course) you can try it. Derp Kernel and theme Black AF out of the box is great
Someone please tell me off for asking this in the wrong place !! I have a similar question as I also want to change from Miui (10.1.0.3 PEJMIFI) and everything I have read seems to suggest the new PE rom is very stable and I would certainly switch. BUT... my question is.... is there a guide on how to flash the PE rom from a clean factory Miui rom, and how to return to the same factory state including OTA if after some time I decide to. Thanks for all responses.
crDroid if you want a bunch of features on a stable rom. Havoc-OS is my next favorite, but it doesn't get updates as often.

Fair enough, I'll stick with it then It has been solid since I made the switch, only the first build I tried had some issues with the notch and notifications icons, and they got fixed on the next one.
Has any1 tried RRemix? I remember it to be a beast for gaming on my previous devices. Is it still the same on the poco?

Sorry Never Tried crdroid but Instead Of flashing Pixel Experience I checked many reviews of youtube and all suggested That nitrogen OS is as stable as Pixel rom with Many features so I installed NITROGEN OS and Man I just didn't faced any mic issue or net speed reduction its Just Fantastically buttery smooth and perfect. I love it.
---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
Believe me, These 2 roms(Pixel Experience & Nitrogen OS) are most stable as far as I saw many many youtube reviews. Just before Flashing the pixel rom I thought I will face lack of Thermal battery saving mode that extremely saves battery SO I checked many reviews for Nitrogen OS and I flashed it, Man its damn stable not a single issue for me I rooted with magisk and All banking apps are working. Too. And PUBG works awesome as it would in my MIUI. So go for Nitrogen If you want stability + feature and go for Pixel experience for Pure Stable Pixel Experience with lack of advance features.
hey guys..
this is Anil.
i have tried almost every ROM available for our poco device.
but i found out they all have some kind of issues associated with them like, overheating, lags a lot while playing pubg, network issue, internal audio in gameplay is not available, even i have tried xiaomi.eu rom but still got the same problem as it also overheats a lot.
so finally i installed the official global stable ROM, and now i have everything i needed with the phone. best gameplay experience with awesome battery backup (9+ hours of SOT on normal usage).
so if anyone wants to install custom rom just for the gaming and battery backup so i would suggest you to stick with the global stable rom (10.3.4. update is beast).
Thank You.

no i am not rooted yet, and yes i don't any touch issue with this new update.
but yes sometimes while playing pubg my trigger seems to be stuck and i continuously shooting than i have to touch the trigger again to stop it.
what could it be?
Aside from the rom, can you guys suggest a good kernel with great battery life? I'm not quite satisfied with the built in kernel with NOS.
Stock MIUI is the most stable ROM and always will be.
Second most stable would be the custom MIUI mods (Mi-Room, Xiaomi.eu, etc) with varying degrees.
Third most stable is probably some GSI.
Least stable is basically every other custom ROM. Their kernels seem to be based on newer CAF/Linux tags and the devs seem to have reverted Xiaomi-specific fixes and optimizations.
Custom ROM's aren't ready for daily use yet, IMO. Depends what you use your phone for, though.

Best Pie Rom

Pls suggest me a good pie rom with decent customization and performance. I need to use it daily.

Pixel experience pie with 5fth feb 2019 latest update.best for battery nor customization.

Well you will only get suggestions based on people's review, I recommend you to either use AOSPExtended for good perfomance and battery, i also warn DO NOT USE HAVOC OS, there are several good features in AEX that can satisfy your needs.
Pixel Experience only lacks those customisation it has good battery and performance, however you can use substratum themes, just get a free one but paid ones are the best.
Resurrection Remix Pie, is in beta(there are like 2 new builds). You might get some bugs in it so just let developers take their time to fix bugs and make that ROM stable.
Nitrogen OS, is recommended by many users. I haven't personally tried it yet, try checking KTNTECH VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. He makes rom videos on Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5, check his videos they are good and helpful in selecting ROM.

My favorite ROM is GZOSP. However, since I couldn't find it for Redmi K20 pro, I settled down with another of my favorite ROM, Pixel Experience. But instead of flashing the regular edition, I chose the Plus edition just to get a little bit more customization. The reason I chose Pixel Experience over other custom ROMs is because of the aesthetic and pixel like experience that comes with minimal customizations (I like ROMs with minimal customizations) and some additional goodies from Google. Performance is good as well. Most importantly, the developer of the ROM; Henrique is a good friend of mine and is a very active developer. He takes feedback constantly and try to eradicate bugs/issues immediately.
Miui.eu, because all of the AOSP roms share the same bugs. Such as the home gesture not working in the recents area when you hide the gesture bar. MIUI also has a much nicer status area. It also better integrates with my smart home devices and tells me the battery charge of my wireless Xiaomi airbuds.
Which rom support sRGB color mod?

So what's the best custom miui Rom?
So far i tested a few Roms(EvoX, Aosip, Los, Havoc) and Aosip looks so far the best.
No bugs, no problems (just after 5 months of dirty flasing it got necassary to do a clean install because of random reboots), it seems to be the best optimized and lightest rom but still has enough customization for me.
Beside the good battery, aswell performance feels awesome like chrome scrolling is super smooth (on los and havoc it feels laggy, evox i dont remember).
I dont play hardcore games, but pogo feels aswell smoother on Aosip then on other roms, i just played 1-2 times cod but only on aosip and it was smooth.
May i gonna try AICP next, looks promising too.

Isn't this a bit short ? The shortest possible advertisement maybe.
I use it too, mainly because I don't want gapps and like long battery life. The latest version gives me about 6 days (I never wait that long because I keep my battery between 50 and 80%). The previous version gave me about 9 days of light use.
The last Havoc os unofficial fan service build (26/09) takes the cake for me. This version is after everything got polished up in official so before closing the project the dev decided to add a few unofficial features (like the option to disable night light for the FOD).
The rom is flawless, battery life is great, tons of options, no bugs whatsoever (except for one in the shady launcher where google now feed gets zoomed in every now and then, but that is really minor), the fingerprint reader is blazing fast in this build. All in all, among the best custom rom experiences I've had, and I've had around 10 different devices running custom aosp roms by now.
Also, there is a gapps version of the rom so you don't have to flash your own and them being included means much better compatibility than flashing nano gapps for example.

I also like RR for it's customizations, but for me personally, havoc comes out in top. It's cleaner.
I've just tried Aosip for the week, and it's riddled with bugs. Gesture issues with recents. Wifi dropping out. Hangups in recents. Crashing apps. Average battery life. ?
crDroid 6.10
I've been using it almost 2 months and it has everything I need in a custom rom: call recording, smart charging, blink flashlight, screen cast working, remove location and microphone status bar icons, default launcher (double tap to sleep, icon changer), among other great customizations.
Bugs? I really don't look for bugs, but I was having cracking sound bug in games and notifications, but I fix it by flashing F1xy kernel.
It's a really great rom, its EOL, but I don't need the latest security patches and the same developer is already working in A11 rom, so I'll keep an eye on that.
