Fellow Z2 Plus users,
We have always seen discussion about best rom..with features x,y,z etc etc. Now when one says best, which is quite subjective depending upon user, mostly focus is around all the features/customizations of the world and not to mention best battery, best performance and what not.
Here I am flipping the question and seek feedback & suggestions from fellow Zuk Z2 users on the ROMs which they find :
1) Least buggy - given some bugs will be always there
2) Stable - suitable for daily use with no surprises
3) Battery Optimized for performance but with priority being battery
4) Suitable for Daily Regular Use - wallets, bank apps, sync, 4G / wifi, good photos
So while the suggested ROM might not have few missing features (like ViLTE) and might have only limited customizations, but it remains overall robust and stable enough to be used regularly for next few months.
I agree that regular updates are good to have but then with development moving to P soon, the current build of suggested ROM should be such that without updates it should work fine
Request if fellow users can suggest their preferred ROM(s) on above criteria with at least minimum details of ROM like name, version and the build.
If further details can be provided like what is missing (say ViLTE etc) it will be wonderful for others! Thanks in advance to all for their feedback.
Sorry if this is a repeat but think at this juncture when the transition is about to happen to Android P we should have a list of stable roms handy.
EDIT 16th July 2020 :
It is close to 2 years since thread was started and discussions are still ON thanks to loyal users. Also if I may say, part credit also goes to phone's good build quality that it is still worth using for many
When this thread was started, we were in initial days of developers transitioning from Oreo to Pie ROM and today, we already have loads of Q ROMs.
Having said that, general preference, if we need a stable balanced ROM is to continue on Pie ROMs versus Q ROMs - no surprises here !!

Adguard DNS:

I had to use Activity launcher app for that meny because its hidden on miui 11 lol. If u also need that app, type in search network then find under settings - MORE. There u will find option.
Im glad u r happy with your device mate... I was considering Realme 6 Pro but I didnt like that 2 cameras in left corner. I like to see notifications there . So i decided to go with Xiaomi
Also here, it is the same, miui is heavy but apps stay in memory mostly, 6 gb LPDDR4X RAM, 64 GB UFS Storage 2.1. I couldnt find 128 GB model but i dont need it anyway, I would have buy it just because small difference in price. Cameras are real upgrade over Zuk, I also installed Gcam. Amoled is nice also.

Thank you for the work around.. I tried the non root method in adaway but wasnt that good.. changing DNS works much better.. I even updated this in my router..
I also don't like hole punch.. water drop notch is ok..
Hope all cameras are able to use GCam..
Your trick for miui worked as well.. Thank you again for that.
Stay safe and keep modding
Feedbacks Summarized
Thanks to all for sharing feedbacks/experiences. I am summarizing below, with focus on Oreo ROMs!.
EDIT 16th July 2020 : in last 2 years, we have also seen good development in terms of Pie & Q ROMs. So now we have some recommendations on stable and good for daily use Pie ROMs too
OREO ROMs (update basis discussions till Nov'18)
Resurrection Remix RR 6.2.1 Oreo is considered good by most - received feedbacks from @seking @Thisisaarush @Z750z @NaXal
One open issue: No auto call record
It has loads of Customizations, the final build released updated with Oct'18 security patches.
MIUI 10 ROM seems to be a good choice too as per feedback from @sivaramareddy @sidS6
It is stable and has good battery life
AEX 5.7 Oreo seems quite good as per feedback from @Vishwanath01 @sivaramareddy @suvankar.smart
They have not shared much details but what I see is that v5.7 is recommended by all even when the latest is v5.8. This ROM not updated after Aug'18
Download from versions availablehere
Jaguar Oreo is recommended as per feedback from @sanjay.2704 @seking @mGforCe
There seems to be battery issue/lag after couple of weeks of use. But with the entirely rebased ROM released, there are lot of hopes. Finally VoLTE working too - was broken since June build.
Hopefully the battery issue is resolved after few builds of the Rebase ROM. Having said that - this ROM is worth watching for!! The best thing is that dev is updating atleast once a month. With issues being reported, he updated within few weeks too!!
Pls note that have considered only those comments which had some level of details. Also there were more recommendations but since supported by only 1 user not included in the summary.
PIE ROMs (update basis discussions till Jun'20)
[Official - k4.4 // Beta - k4.9] AOSiP Pie is considered good by many and am @mGforCe using for last few months.
One open issue: Think Miracast doesn't work. The final build released has Sep'19 security patches. Link here
[ROM][9.0][TREBLE] SuperiorOS is also recommended one and we have @vuckovic_stefan using in on and off (when not trying other ROMs )
The final official build released has Oct'19 security patches. Link here
There is also an unofficial build released with Apr'20 security patches. Link here, credits @vuckovic_stefan
Bootleggers and Cardinal lastest. I have no idea about Volte because we don't have it here.
AOSP Extended 5.7 latest
Aosip rom is a clear winner, It's the best in every sector.. !
For me, as of now... Latest AEX 5.7 seems pretty stable and Recently I have tried one ROM that totally amazed me.... MIUI 10 ROM. It's very stable, considerably less heat with great performance and great battery life (6.5 -7 hrs SOT with Normal to Medium usage which include Browsing, Streaming, Instant Messaging etc). Coming to Gaming especially PUBG is a lot less laggy when compared to other ROM's when played with HD settings.
So, apart from the latest AOSP Extended(AEX) 5.7, I would recommend to try the latest MIUI 10 ROM too...
Thanks for sharing feedback

Reserruction Remix ,,,==> the best and most stable from all other roms ,,,???

Reserruction Remix os, the best and most stable rom from all,,,,???
Having a blast with #oxicOs since Viper and dot died

Hello,
Most of the ROMs here are pretty stable as daily driver. Some are little better with some aspect of usage, like for example, in general, non treble ROMs better with heavy games like PubG compare to Treble. Now that doesn't mean treble ROMs suck with PubG, its just marginally lower grfx details for smoother playing exp.
Ever since introduction of treble, for last few months, I have been only with treble, so I can only comment on Treble ROMs. I have tried PE, AEX, AiCP, RR (Treble), crDroid and let me tell you all are equally good. However, having said that, few lose their edge time to time with some random update and it happens with all. So as an user, you will find your self switching between few time to time.
All these ROMs easily offer 6 hours 30 mins or more SoT for daily use (except heavy gaming). Game on them and SoT will come down based on how hard you are playing. Usually for heavy gamer, SoT is around 4 hours or bit less. All these ROMs have everything function, from finger print to Bluetooth.
At present, I am with RR 6.1. Switched from AiCP since at this point, for few previously weekly, AiCP is having some performance issue. Not that its slow, but RR feels little better compare to AiCP. Who knows, may be with next weekly, AiCP may out perform anything else.
Biggest point is, thanks to all these hardworking devs, I am spoiled with choices. So many of them. All are equally good but with some many options, I am spoiled to write comparison even for these slightest issues.
So its really hard or would be unfair to name single ROM to sum up the answer !!
Thanks.

Consider me a typical dumbass phone user. I strive for a functional device which allows me fast performance and all features should work fine. I don't like poking with things unless they are broken as like your question, I am looking for stability and I am willing to sacrifice bit of performance edge for that.
Now regarding improvement, what to compare with is the biggest question. If you want to compare this with Stock Indian ZUI 2.5 (Indian), its a heaven and hell of a difference !! But if you talk about other contemporary ROMs, there isn't much to separate them. It would come down to your personal choice of flavor .
Consider this buying a litter class super bike or super car in India. Anything you buy would be light years ahead of what average Joe is riding but when you want to chose between similar option, it would ultimately come down to personal preference !!
Regarding my setup, I am with the latest Version of RR 6.1 Treble (without any extra mod or kernel) + Open GApps Nano. Running Apex Launcher v3.3.3 along with Pixel Icon Pack (from Play Store). I have mentioned my issues or liking in that respective thread !!
Thanks.
Latest toxycOs.... 3.0

I am using Liquid Remix [8.1] [v9.1.4] [OFFICIAL] [08/10/2018][NON-TREBLE]
I listen to music and after installing viperfx magix module and modded you tube my requirement is met. Along with this I also use on application called "The Raging Beast KA" , see screenshot, which allows kernel level tweaking of sound ie increasing sound of left channel and right channel separately and it gives excellent sound. I also require volte as I use jio sim and net speed should be fast.
So the above are my requirements and everybody has their own requirements. All ROMs stable. But they differ on the following
1 heat. Some ROMs heat up
2 performance.
3 tweaks. Some ROMs contain more tweaks
4 volte. Some ROMs will not have volte
Installing ROMs are individual preferences and all ROMs are stable.

Guys,
Thanks for the feedback earlier. Bumping old thread to see if any update / revision in choices basis past 2-3 months?
Now that we have more or less final version of Oreo (though fortunately, some O ROMs are still getting security updates), the options are not likely to change further.
So far, have been using Jaguar Aug'18 build - worked quite well but in last few weeks seeing 10-12% battery drain overnight. Today am going to flash Oct'18 build to see if any changes.
CrDroiD is Best
i have used all oreo except RR..
I find CrDroid the best Rom of all times.
no issues at all.. be it SOT.. consistent 7-7.5 hours with moderate usage.. BT music play for 2-3 hours daily, phone calls for hour or so 1 hour of game play A8 & tekken.. all banking apps running including Tez..
Tons of customization. Built in adaway as well .. i dont think any feature is missing in this Rom. except 2.
1. Pocket detection - causes many failed FP.
2. auto call record - call record is present but u have to enable it in each call.
if some one with rom build knowledge can include this and update security patches then this would be a complete rom.
planning to try RR as dotos is giving very low SOT.. staying on that coz it has auto call record and pocket detect.

Which version?
Hi,
I just want to know, according to you what is the best Rom you experience on Redmi Note 7 ? (basing on user experience, number of bugs, features, battery drain, responsivity ...)
It is just a personnal opinion and does not reflect the quality of rom for which the developers do a very good job
Tried Pixel Experience, Bootloggers, and AOSP extended and from those three AoSP is the best so far, best battery life, performance and fewest bugs.
Xiaomi.eu the best imo
Global stock excellent for me
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 7 mediante Tapatalk
I'm interested in MicroG/NoGApps [do not have the device (yet)]. Usually I prefer LOS, so if official LOS exists the MicroG builds from download.lineage.microg.org - because of hal1/3 issue on lavender official LOS does not look nearby. So best MicroG ROM options to avoid deodex services.jar seem to be [OFFICIAL][9.0]AospExtended v6.6 or Havoc-OS-2.6-[9.0]-[Official] or [9.0][OFFICIAL]crDroid v5.6[Lavender]?
Regarding Problems with video recording & WhatsApp video call and proximity sensor all those ROMs are the same?
Xiaomi.eu it's been a good ROM, can hit around 8~9 hours of SOT, I've readed sometimes up to 10hours
I wish you separated miui into 1.) stock and 2.) xiaomi eu.
which I can't try yet as I'm still waiting to have my bootloader unlocked.
Conclusion: Don't be a tester for underdeveloped ROM, stay safe and stable with stock ROM.

Are you serious? No one is holding a gun against your head and telling you to install roms. Those people spend hours and hours working so we can have multiple choices (not everyone likes miui) and they dont get a cent for their job. At least someone can do is install rom and give their feedback. These days roms are not making too much difference when it comes to overall performance cause phones have way better hardware and specs. But not so long ago when phones had 512mb of ram and you get them with fully bloated stock roms the only way of having a normal phone was to root and install a custom rom. So no need to trash talk if you dont like it dont use it. I personally havent tried single rom so far (tho i got my note 7 few weeks ago). I settled for xiaomi eu cause its stable with everything working and i dont have time to flash roms at the moment. But i will always be fan of pure android and OP if you like pure android and a bit smoother experience go for custom roms also battery will sure be better there. I heard evira kernel is good also you could try pixel experience (less customization) , aex or havoc for more customization.

Now AOSP is not really good as you expect. Its smooth but battery is not really better than stock and not all feature is working some hiccup occurs in 3rd party apps

Learn the difference between trash talk and stating facts.
You don't even use custom ROM.
Sure, I also want everybody else to use custom ROMs so they get developed more quickly?
I am surprised that lineageOs has not more vote on this topic. It was a very popular Rom on other devices but I think there is other good competitors on RN7. I will have a look on AospExtended some day as it seems very adopted.
I previously switched to custom rom 'cause I had some issues with MIUI. I don't know if it is always the case but MIUI work smooth with default launcher but when using alternative laucher (for example Nova), I had issues with notifications counter. It seems that MIUI kill apps severly in order to have a good battery life. For me, notification badges was killed also fitness app like Samsung Health or google fit. It was not the case with Mi Fit.
Even if I set the correct property in the app control, it seems that xiaomi apps always have always been managed better like if they have some heigher privilege.
I'm very happy in Stock Global MIUI 10 stable.
Rooted.
Evira Kernel.
FDE.AI Magisk Module.
Underclocked.
Debloated.
Happy about it.
I enjoy visual appearance very much and MIUI is just beautiful to my eyes.
To me:
- Xiaomi.eu is the best if you can't live without the MIUI stuff. It has almost all the best MIUI can offer, removes most privacy issues from stock, and adds more useful features.
- For custom ROMs:
+ I love AOSPExtended since it has just enough customizations to play with. I have it on my RN7 (lavender) and RN4X (mido) and it works perfectly on both. I love the way my 2 phones look and work almost the same.
+ ResurrectionRemix has a crazy amount of customization options. I used to have it on my RN4X. I've never had it on my RN7 but it's a very popular ROM out there.
+ LineageOS is great if you enjoy minimalism. I have it on my ancient phones to keep them light and clean.
You can try different ROMs to see which one fits your needs or you can stay on stock MIUI. You have the choice. Just pay respect to developers as they devote their time and effort to create and improve ROMs.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Syberia.. Just because its battery life.
Agreed to the person before me, always respect the DEV.. Nowdays people tend to ask too much and have lil patience.
So far am going with miui eu global official.Have tried global worldwide official and chinese official and find the eu global the best.Also tried the eu custom rom revolution x aosp extended bootleggers havoc and pixel experience and found aosp extended to be least buggy for me.When it comes to sound and camera especially adding gcam the official miui eu is better but try the roms for yourself and decide.
Is there any noticeable difference between global version number and eu version number?? Or the 10.6.0 and 10.3.3 are the same thing with small differences??

The eu 10.3.3 is a custom rom based on the chinese rom with all the chinese apps debloated.I found it a bit buggy with apps like what's app.You also have the eeu global 10.5.0 which I find the best after trying worldwide global chinese miui and eu custom rom.Eeu global has less adds and is more debloated than worldwide global.Best to try them and decide which suits.
after trying many roms, stock eu is best...some apps not work on custom roms, so stock with evira pure 1.4 kernel is best ?

Hi!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 7 as my daily driver and so far it works like a charm, but by mistake I took the 3-32 version instead of the 4-64. I'm running the latest global stable MIUI 11 rom, so far it works fine, fluid enough with very few bugs and good battery life.
The issue is that Global Stock rom eats too much ram, leaving little space to have multiple apps open so I'm looking for a rom that doesn't use too much ram/has a good ram management so I can have more apps running at the same time. It has to be stable enough for a daily driver use (I have other phones to experiment with).
Some options I have been looking for:
Xiaomi.eu: I like MIUI so it can be a nice option as far as I can see, but IDK if it improves the ram consumption/management issue.
some AOSP based rom: I come from a almost clean android phone so I can consider an AOSP-based rom, but I'm not sure which one serves my purpose the best. I'm testing Pixel Experience in a spare phone (Mi5) and seems to work nice, but not sure about its ram management
About storage, just got a new SD card for saving my media, but I'm not convinced to use Adoptable Storage (is that recommended anyway?), so no major worries here, but less system used space is appreciated too.
Let me know what do you think/recommend
Thanks!
you can simply use custom kernel and use zram, it should be enough I guess, I have 1.2-1.4 gb of free ram
custom roms are trash, always something doesn't work and battery backup is piece of sh...
are there more tweaks for the 32 gb model for better ram management ?
I have a redmi note 7 3/32 gb.and i am facing ram management issue but now my device is running good in ram management with flash a predator 5.6 kernel.
You can try this kernel.
You can debloat MIUI 11 with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools.
Also you can try AOSP Extended or Havoc, both are good custom Roms.
How much difference has a kernel mod in a phone?
Well, it seems MIUI is has a too aggressive RAM management that causes most of my apps to be killed while multitasking. For now I'm using Pixel Experience and so far it works really good with insane battery backup. Will try others recommended as well as soon as I have some spare time to mod my phone.
On the other side, I tried the Xiaomi.EU rom, but I didn't like it. I guess if I do not find any suitable rom for my needs and once global miui updates to Android 10 (it seems China roms are already updated) will try it debloated.
Thanks for the advice
the official MIUI 11 I'm using now, and too many trash system apps running in background makes the game I'm playing keep choppy and frozen (or lag?).
the main purpose of this phone for me is playing multiplayer games, so compared to functionally powerful, Light and Smooth is more what I care.
which ROM (and version) is most suitable for this usage? Thanks.

thanks for your kind advice, but seems miui eu is based on china official builds? and miui official build 11.0.1 Android 10 is already withdrawed by official because of too many bugs (source: read on china xiaomi forum). also those negative feedbacks about 11.0.1 Android 10 on miui eu forum...still thanks.
Tested a ton of ROMs (mostly from xiaomi.eu) and I keep going back to MIUI 11.2, version 20.1.21 BETA. Works way better than the "stable" ones, is smooth as fk, crisp menus no lag etc.
I went from xiaomi.eu (a10/miui12) to "pixel plus ui" rom and I don't regret it. I've got more storage available, way better battery backup without the stupid miui battery manager which limits apps by default (10h SoT and 2 days without charge), UI is smooth and so far I haven't found any bugs.
Normally, I don't like to flash custom roms because in time i've learned that they all have their flaws. But coming from an androidOne phone, I just can't stand MIUI anymore. It got HUGE with tons of customizations/features I don't need nor want. Flashing a custom rom got me an extra 10gb+! of free storage. That's why I tested a couple of roms and I'm sticking with "pixel plus ui".

Hello,
I am using MIUI on my MI4a and I am looking for an alternative stock android ROM that is fast and does not take too much space. I have the 16GB version phone and I am always*running out of space. I do not care much about customization features.
I know there are tons of ROM but I am a little lost: Pixel experience, Lineage, Havoc...
Could someone tell me what is the best option available at this moment ?
Thanks in advance
Havoc is pretty good. They seem stop developing it but currently it's on android 10 and very stable on mine.
Thanks a lot for your recommendation
LineageOS 17.1 by @yurikoles. It's actively maintained and even got the July security update recently.
If you want more customization, there's SuperiorOS by @dandyfarid. Also actively maintained.
I've tried both extensively and they're both stable and definitely a lot faster than MIUI. I've rarely encountered the low space notif since Android 9 but then again I don't have a lot of games installed. As long as you regularly clear up space (in Photos/Files) you should be fine.
