I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Cool thanks, I will look up the rom. I thought about Android 6 or 7, but see those still have some major issues here and there.

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s
Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).
Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?
I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk
last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo
If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately

Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help
PS : i ve also find a answer to one of my question

Hi,
any Idea where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)? Many ROMs here are specifically saying they are for singleSIM (aka DIOR). And others dont specify at all. I tried asking in a few threads (in about three) and Im still awaiting response, but I still want to ask here .
Any ideas, please? I would like larger phone, larger battery and dualsim but I dislike MIUI ... Thanks for any response!
PS: I found this AOSP ROM which I would like to use but first I need to know if it is for dualSIM or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/aosp-rom-4-4-4-redmi-note-4g-t2984542
http://redminotezone.blogspot.cz/20...sp-mooke-kitkat-444-for-redmi-note-LTE4G.html
i need to for this rom. thx
Search for gucci
Hi,
i thing its not for this device. You need to search for (phone code name) gucci, not dior! I am looking for this right now. There is cwm, but in Chinese. I found englisth cwm, but i need to test it. CM12 rom is here from this forum.
The mobile data on that CM12 rom doesn't work.
I only have one SIM but I tested on both slots and was not able to get data to work at all.
The only CM rom that I have had any mileage with is the CM11 rom by Ghostly Doctor
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001100
There's a bit of crapware in the rom but you can open the zip and delete the apk's before flashing.
The only other issue that I have encountered after ~2 weeks of use is that the mobile data periodically disconnects and reconnects, this would normally be a deal breaker but I just cannot hack imitation iOS on the official roms to go back.
Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!
Steve

1. AOSP, by @freexperia -
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=17562
Tested 2/27 AOSP build. Seems smooth and stable overall. Only browser is some kind of experimental one that doesn't work too well, or at least you need to spend more time getting used to it than I was willing to. Camera works, but is as good as any other N camera at this point, (bad).
2. AOSP and Lineage, (CM), 14, micro-g patched, by @MSe1969 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=155737 - haven't tried yet. I mistakenly linked it to fxp until I just now noticed it. Will try soon...
3. AICP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...lopment/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-amami-t3428288
Excellent rom, regular updates, and lots of customization. Some people have posted about dropped calls in recent builds, but haven't heard of other issues. Magisk integrated. If someone can figure out how to get a good camera, you could hardly ask for more.
4. AOSP by @CLINTZ9 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/aosp-t3317511
I haven't been able to get it to boot, (error in twrp). OP says to ignore error and flash, but it won't flash anything for me. I think others have, though, so maybe just something I'm missing. Let me know.
5. LOS by micha-btz - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=153937
Just stumbled across it, and my BL is currently re-locked, so plan on trying soon...
Update - tried today and works well, everything seemed to function. Bad camera as usual, and I couldn't get back into recovery for some reason. I had to flash a different kernel first...

Haven't tried yet. Let us know...
9. LOS 14 by munjeni - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-t3657384 Probably the best yet. Excellent camera. Some have had random reboots on latest build, but maybe fixed with this - http://munjeni.myiphost.com/system.rar
10. Sudamod by @maz-1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-sudamod-3-1-t3666092
Testing now, LOS-based with some custom tweaks. Fast and smooth, fully working. Op says camera is good, even though 3.1 kernel, pictures look OK so far, going to test more in the light. Very nice ROM.
11. M-ROM port by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-v2-4-0-t3711381
Stock Nougat style and apps on custom (Carbon) rom. Very nice. Original dev seems to have abandoned xda, but rom has been popular on several devices up to v2.3.1 (I use it on Z3c [https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/rom-los-xperia-ui-z3c-t3654894]). 2.4 was never posted on xda, AFAIK, but posted on a Chinese site called 0z4l, or something, but not possible to download without registration, and I couldn't get successful registration. dmgZero has modded it, apparently. I haven't tried it, since I'm using Z3c at the moment...
BTW - seems to be some degree of controversy around the security of latest version. Check device threads and judge for yourself.
12. Flyme OS by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-z1cflyme6-8-1-22r-t3742581 I'm mainly on Xc now, so check thread for reports...

hi good day. I'm pretty new to flashing
I managed to install some custom rom and gapps with TWRP.
so I'm now a bit more confident in installing new roms
there's so many custom roms, I don't know which to choose. I need something not bloated, fast, and fully working camera. any help is greatly appreciated.
(or maybe I just should root the stock rom and uninstall bloated apps ?)

For the short answer, he's probably right - Jaguar Is excellent. However, there are now very good roms for this phone in kk, lp, mm, and now n, so there's lots to try. If stability and camera are your main priorities, go with stock-based, or Jaguar. Personally, I don't feel debloating is necessary, if you use an app-management app, like AFwall, or 3C toolbox.

Hi there,
I made a CM14.1 build for amami for you to try, based on the sources of sonyxperiadev, SonyCM and SonyAosp. So a big thank you is in order to everyone involved in these projects. I only modified the sonyxperiadev amami sources to work with this build, set SELinux to enforced and removed the Gello browser from the build (there are more updated derivatives on the Play Store anyway).
I have run it for a little bit, and noticed the following bugs so far:
- deepsleep not working when wifi is on (I think)
- camera sometimes force closes, sometimes works (known memory leak bug I think, cam is work in progress)
- lots of CM stuff is not there yet, including themes (remember, CM14.1 is a work in progress)
- ?
To install it, you most likely need real recovery with TWRP3. It includes the new Sony init, so reboot to recovery from ROM works. I'm currently using it with latest OpenGapps and SuperSU, which both seem to work fine as well.
The Z1C is currently my secondary phone, but once it becomes more stable and feature-rich and once Xposed is available for 7.1 (fingers crossed), I will probably also build for the Z3C. Unless we get to see some official CM love again of course.

Hello everyone, i am new to the scene of the Mi A1, i bought the phone about 1 month ago and have been observing the forums, but i would like to ask some questions the community as i have not yet managed to find clear answers to the forums if someone can help me
1. If i root the phone is there a way to revert back to complete stock and get OTA's again?
2. In custom roms, can i get the stock camera working 100%?
3. Is there any custom rom that you recommend in terms of stability and battery life?
4. Are there any drawbacks to the custom rom scene?
5. Do you recommend the stock rom with a custom kernel or a custom rom altogether?
Thank you in advance for your answers, i hope that this thread might be useful to gather some questions altogether for anyone that might have wondered the same stuff as me
Hello,
1. There is a way to update OTA with magisk, but you will need you use magisk just as systemless, without touching system stuff. Alternative you can have root and just unroot everytime you want to update the ROM or you can manually flash the update... You can try this guide... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
2. Stock camera works in custom ROMs, someone did a port somewhere in this forums... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/oreo-mia1-stock-rom-camera-app-custom-t3758543
3 and 4. Most of the custom ROMs are based on the same sources, LineageOS was one of the first "stable" ROMs so most of the ROMs are based on it, inheriting all of its bugs (haven't found a critical bug). I've tested a few ROMs and the mosts I liked in terms of battery life and stability are... LineageOS and Pixel Experience, you will need to test them out for yourself.
5. If you want to experience a more "stable" feeling stick to Xiaomi development, the latest stable version is 8.0 (with rumors of 8.1 coming soon). If you want latest Android updates and features go for a 8.1 custom ROM.
In my experience you will need to try all this things on your own, until you find a place where you feel comfortable with your phone. Just read guides on how to recover your phone from a bootloop and you are good to go!
I will answer only question number 4 because the guy above me said everything, by the way I prefer RR.
The drawbacks I found on custom roms are 2 for me...
1) Poor signal reception compared to stock
2) Sound quality is much better in stock compared to custom... (my opinion)
I am itching to root the device but to be honest the only thing i want is android 8.1 and a better battery, other than that i am pretty much satisfied with what i have. (and this is coming from someone that changed rom every other week on previous phones) Thank you for your replies, they were informative and greatly appreciated! I just hope Xiaomi updates the phone soon because it feels kinda outdated for an android one device
