I'm looking into a ROM offering as much power as possible. I'm currently under MIUI12 and, even tho it's not unusable, it ain't that great either.
- It's pretty laggy when using Snapchat, and switching between apps.
- The keyboard often takes up to 3s to pop up.
- The camera takes 4 to 5s to load.
So I wanted to know your experience with custom ROMs for the lavender. Which is the fastest ?
I'm also interested in tips on how to improve performance, tho I've already cleaned bloatware with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools.
Many thanks in advance
I still use xioami.eu ROM on my note 10 and on my note 7 is havoc. Havoc is very fast with no bugs. The launcher I don't like. A gcam mod I use. You must find the best for you. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
That's all I can tell you.

Go for Lineage, official one or if you need microg, it's available as well. https://download.lineageos.org/lavender https://download.lineage.microg.org/lavender/
Any custom based AOSP also fine, avoid any gapps build, take any vanilla + flash flamegapps/opengapps pico.
microg is not cup of tea for everyone, avoid if you really use GMS daily (banking apps, order takeway food, etc.)
You don't need to improve anything in custom roms, most has already optimized from scratch.
Hey !
I've been trying LineageOS and Pixel Experience and I must say they both run way better than MIUI (I'd say LineageOS feels a bit more fluid tho). I didn't want to try Havoc after testing Lineage since they both pretty much felt the same looking at screenshots.
It's really just MIUI being a piece of j*nk on Lavender. Sad !! Because apart from its lagginess I still prefer MIUI's design over any custom ROM's !
Glad to have a powerful phone again anyway, that's a spending I won't have to consider for a year or two more
Thanks all for the advice, that's what made me try

Hello! I am also interested in maximizing performance and battery life to extend the life of the cell phone.
I can recommend pixel experience, it is quite good, the battery life is decent but the performance is excellent. I am using the rom with android 12 and it is very stable.
I also use some extra apps:
Greenify: To manage the ram and background apps.
HEBF Optimizer: Increases battery life without compromising performance
Build.prop: I use some command lines that allow a faster start and other functions (if you want, I'll give you the lines that I use)
And to finish I use some magisk modules:
- Busybox for Android NDK
- Energized Protection
- Memory Optimizer
- Redmi Note 7 Stereo Speaker Mod
- Themed icons for A12
With all these modifications I was able to achieve that the performance is that of a current medium or medium high range and the battery life is 4 and a half hours of screen, it serves me for my daily use. I hope it helps you

Hi!
Are you using any costum kernel and cpu governors?
Also, can you tell me what lines you used on build.prop?
Thanks a lot

I do not use any of them for fear of damaging the cell phone, those things are deeper and I do not know much about that subject.
If you know anything about kernels, I would appreciate if you would tell me because I saw that it can extend battery life and increase performance more significantly.
The lines I use in build.prop are these:
Makes it turn on faster
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron = true
Let the cell phone rotate completely (not good for much xd)
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270 = true
Lower the Wi-Fi scan to 5 minutes, it doesn't affect me because I don't go out much and when I go out I use mobile data. You can change so that the scan is at the time you want. Ex: 180 3 minutes
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 300
Makes the overall system work better
debug.performance.tuning = 1
Keeps the launcher always in memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1
Bring out the startup animation to make it start up faster
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
I use this apk to modify the file: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=es_AR&gl=US

About the kernel im using the predator kernel in pixel experience but havent tweaked it much since im not that experient but the overall battery life and performance look better just by installing it.
By the way how did you configured HEBF Optimizer? Im a little confused with all these settings.
Also i cant seem to find the memory optimizer module, can you tell me where to find it?
Coutinh069 said:
¡Muchas gracias!
Acerca del kernel, estoy usando el kernel depredador en la experiencia de píxeles, pero no lo he modificado mucho ya que no soy tan experimentado, pero la duración y el rendimiento general de la batería se ven mejor con solo instalarlo.
Por cierto, ¿cómo configuró HEBF Optimizer? Estoy un poco confundido con todas estas configuraciones.
Además, parece que no puedo encontrar el módulo optimizador de memoria, ¿puede decirme dónde encontrarlo?

About HEBF Optimizer I am going to give you the configuration I have and that gives me results, so if you want to change something, it is your choice.
- You go to the battery section and activate the Improve battery
- Then you go to Performance and activate all the options except "Use GPU Acceleration"
- Finally, go to tools, go to the bottom and activate the 4 options. Before leaving, go to where it says "Fstrim" and schedule it to do it every 15 hours
You can also calibrate the battery, for this you must charge the cell phone to 100% and touch where it says "reset battery statistics". Then let it download to only 0% and charge it again (always uninterrupted) to 100%
You can download the memory optimizer from here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qqwqycv8bwhfksi/memory-optimizer-v2.zip/file
I recommend that you install the gcam, it considerably improves the quality of the photos
By the way, are you using that kernel with pixel experience with what version of android?

Friends, I found lots question on the xda about best Oreo Rom for Kenzo (SD, 2Gb) . We all know MIUI 9 MM or other MIUI 9 based custom roms are ram hungry. There are so many alternative roms which have poor ram management issue, battery drain problem. Now I will tell you something about best Oreo Rom even the best custom rom for Kenzo. I have been using it from 28 Dec 2017 after being dissatisfied with MIUI9 N (battery, volte issue, lags,poor camera), NOS 7.0/8.0/8.1,( battery draining, poor ram management), citrus caf (battery draining, poor ram management, Lags), Cardinal AOSP( good rom but ram management is poor).
If you are looking for a 8.1 roms then i will say Havoc or ABC , some one said on different post about ABC is very smooth, running PUBG very well without any lag but i dont play high graphics game so i can't say about it.
I personally a fan of Havoc due to its customization and stability . No heating issue on normal uses, not hotspot or wifi issue, very good battery backup with Agni 12.8 . in build font changing option, in build boot animation changing option , pie control , rounded ui, colour Engine , Android P animation, android P screen shot editor . Screen on gesture , gesture anywhere , take photo with fingerprint scanner, face auto unlock tc .
So now my preference is Havoc Os. Use latest os with magisk 16.4 + Agni 12.8
look at my screen shots bellow
No one cares

The Rom is MCAOSP 8.0 03-12-2017 (https://plus.google.com/u/0/109509643115521921407/posts/ga6DjAbqJ52) . Best part of this Rom is its Ram Management, 1gb out of 2gb free on first boot. With two /three app in background you will get around 650-700 mb free ram. Battery backup is awesome. With Shadow Kernel it becomes more solid. Call quality, signal strength (VOLTE) very good & also better than other custom rom. Sound quality is loud, clear.
Now Cons- No Camera app, No Music Player app, no Gallery, No browser.
So My apps are
1- MIUI browser( APK MIRROR)
2-Phonography Music Player(Google Pay)
3- MIUI Video Plaer( APK MIRROR)
4- Alcatel File Manager( Very Simple, Very Fast)( APK MIRROR)
5- HTC U11 Gallery app ( Believe me , best gallery)( google it)
6-Alcatel Calculator( APK MIRROR)
7-OnePlus Weater APP( very Nice Animation)( APK MIRROR)
8-Flyme OS6 Note App( google it)
9- Magisk 15.2
10-Mix Explorer ( Better than Root Explorer)
11-Substratum ( with Galaxy Evolution Theme)
12-Nova Launcher
13- And for camera--Arnova8G2's Google Camera 1.6. I think we all know about it.(BGS Setting -Model Pixel 2, HDR+ -Nexus 6 HDR+Auto, with this setting you will get front/back potrait working with HDR+ processing. For Slow Motion Recording you can use MIUI Camera APK version.
14-For best sound and bass, use Snapdragon Music FX and place it at system>APP>Music FX. You can find it at XDA.
If any one have volte problem , you can flash VOLTE patch by JamFlux. For detail search in EPIC Redmi note3 forum XDA

1. I didn't test 8.1 , I hope it will be like same 8.0 performance
2-firmware-7.10.12
3-shadow kernel perform very well . Better than agni & radon
4-FOR 4GLTE we should not except same battery backup as miui but it gives better than any custom rom. Please use MIUI Browser
5-I set hex. Mode, with balance profile.
6- Final word- It gives best ram management for my 2Gb KenzoPlease look at attachment
Does mobile network standby stand on top of battery usage (when u use mobile data)?

which version are you using? CAF?
There are many Pie based roms for redmi 3s and there were many threads asking for best/stable Pie roms! And as anyone would guess and expect, there were many (different) replies further increasing the confusion. This poll will help aggregate the individual responses
So go ahead fellow land users, tell me which Pie based ROM according to your usage is stable in terms of performance, most of the features are working, have good bb along with some customization.
Pixel experience is pretty much stable and well performance
I have been here on this forum since 3 years and the roms with difr,nichcream and teammex sources(not with us now) are the best.....
currently using havoc os unofficial by weritos and this is arguably one of the best roms i have ever used on this device...it is just like liquid remix unofficial by difr but with added goodies of android pie and havoc os....Go for this rom and you wont have to look anywhere else...roms with other sources are slow..especially the reloaded roms and still they give average battery backup..i dont know why some sources follow standard miui cpu management and turn off 2 cpu big cores all the time....it is useless and just lags the system overall...there is no core turning off in nichcream sources..all the cores are active all the time except when battery percentage falls below 5-10%...just install kernel auditor and set min frequency to 422 and 345 for big and little cores and enjoy smoothest,stable and a good battery (8 hours sot)oriented rom!
Sidenote: If you are looking for a bugless,battery oriented rom (with double tap to wake) go for dot os by K7jhin..it is giving regularly more than 9 hours of sot..but ram management sucks

Hello,
After changing tons of phones in last weeks/months, i finaly got my s5 mini, my dream phone it seems. It is of a perfect size for me and it is very grippy due to rubber back cover. Now i want to improve it as much as i can. I want to stay on stock 6.0.1 rom (unless u see there is any point in downgrading ?). I will first say what i did and then ask what i can do to improve it further.
What i did:
1. turn all animations to 0 in developers options
2. turn off s voice
3. disabled all apps i could that i dont need
4. turned off a bunch of other things i dont need
What i need help with:
1. what else can i do to further improve performance
2. google maps app seems a bit slow. Any way to improve it or is this phone simply to weak
3. any tips for camera, how to take better photos/video, any settings i should change ?
No one ?
Hello,
I personally think its kind of funny that someone says that the s5 mini is their dream phone in 2019. I mean its kind of old and outdated now and while I can of course understand that you like the size of it and the rubber back, there are many alternatives which also dont break the bank. I think without rooting or flashing another Rom, your experience is not going to get better than it already is. The s5 mini is not the most powerful phone you know. Anyways I used a galaxy s5 mini from 2014 untill 2018 and I was never really happy with it. It was always slow and sluggish, though the camera was good for 2014 and what I really liked about it was its ip67 certification, I got into the pool with it xD. I ran it on Android 4.4.2 for most of its live, mainly because I rooted it in 2015 and thus couldnt update to a newer version of Android. But in late 2017 I decided to factory reset and flash a stock Android 5 Rom via Kies. After that I updatet to 6.0.1 Marshmello, but in early 2018 the hole thing was to slow for me and I threw a custom Rom on it. Android 8 but it was in beta and very buggy so I flashed Resurection Remix with Android 7.1.2. It was already way faster and more modern than on the stock Rom. But then I found a Kernel that would let me overclock the cpu from 1.4 Ghz to 1.6 Ghz and the Gpu from 400 mhz to 600 mhz. So i used that Kernel and the phone was actually very useable. The first time in 4 years of ownwership, I was really happy with my s5 mini. I bought a new phone (Honor 9) though only like 6 weeks after flashing the Kernel lol. The Honor 9, after 1 year has never let me down tough and im very very happy with it.
S5 mini G800F
Hi there,
I'm happy with my S5 mini (G800F), but I really need an Dual SIM device with better battery life and will have to get one soon. Battery life is weak point.
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), didn't have success to install Gapps though. Using F-Droid and YalpStore. There are some bugs with the camera (it stops working) but after restart works fine again.
It is an OK device, but a bit slow and with short battery life.
Unfortunately from 2-3 weeks there is a problem with my main microphone and is not the mic itself but some motherboard bad connection or something. Works fine with headset but it is not really convenient
According to some people if one switches Off the LTE the battery life is better.
Instead of Gmaps I'm using HereWeGo, OruxMaps and Sygic - all for free.
About the camera: I am using Open Camera. The camera app of LOS 14.1 is really plain Of OpenCamera I like the DRO option, but it takes a few seconds to generate the picture.
Hope you will find the best way to use your S5 mini. It is very cute device with so many advantages like notification LED with RGB, ambient light sensor, NFC, IR, AMOLED, small size and weight... I will miss all of this in such a small and ergonomic package.
I understand your point. There are no more under 5" devices with normal specs. So sad...
Best regards!

I recommend the unofficial LineageOs 16 custom rom for you. This is the most stable rom I’ve ever seen for the S5 mini.
Only Requirement is to have the G800F model.
Otherwise you will break you phone.
Im running CrDroid 5.12 on my g800f with the Spookcity Kernel and Magisk. Although I'm using a Oneplus 5 as my main device I'm very happy with the results. You can run Android P roms like Posp, LineageOS, CrDroid, bootleggers or Aosp (extended). I think you can get very happy using POSP with Open Gapps nano/Pico. But CrDroid is the only rom, which is getting updated. It also is the only Pie rom supporting NFC.

This might be a pretty late reply, but I hope it can help.
If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device. I can't tell you exactly which, but you can deactivate a lot of system apps with root, which can improve performance in some scenarios (Look at some debloat script from other Samsung phones - a lot of the apps are the same). For deactivating system apps I use this app. Alternatively you could try to deactivate system apps without root with ADB.
In my opinion the Google apps are all very slow and all the system apps slow your device down a lot (from my experience the Google Play Services and especially the Google Play Store), which is why I either use microG on the Stock ROM or at least deactivate what I can.
Sadly you can't push much more performance out of this phone, especially not without a Custom ROM. It has four pretty weak CPUs and one really bad GPU - don't expect to be able to play any even slightly demanding games, better stay at those 2D titles. The only way to make it feel faster is to use the lightest
- OS (in my opinion any Android 6 ROM)
- system apps (disable unnecessary-seeming ones - but be very careful!) <- of course only on Stock ROM
- third-party/user apps (if an app is slow, look for alternatives - for example you could look at OSMand or MAPS.ME istead of Google Maps)

If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device.

The Google app is a mandatory update with the new Play Store layout and app updates eat into the storage of the phone.
Hi all,
I'm in Revenge os, and all works fine; only slow motion on gcam app (by magisk module) doesn't work.
I would like to try a rom based on Android 10: which do you advice to me?
I must have on it:
Absolute root to use full tasker app;
Gcam (which i must install);
Runtastic;
Google home.
WiFi, bt, hotspot, GPS are obviously necessaries.
Tnx to all.
PS: if i make before install the new rom, a backup by twrp, the i could restore it on the rom Android 10?

Stock rom... in a Pixel 4a!

Almost all Q ROMs at the moment for the A1 have everything you want, except for the slow motion. You have to disable Google Voice Match as well too allow other apps to use the microphone so you can't summon the assistant by saying Ok Google. About the TWRP backup, yes, you can go back to your stock Pie ROM with it.
I am currently using DerpFest with Android 10 and I feel it's the best current ROM in terms of updates, features, and stability (only the battery life has gotten a small hit).

How's your battery life in derpfest ? Its like the stock rom getting like 4 or 5 hours sot or worse? Also what about the performance ? Have you tried gaming on it ? PUBG Mobile or Call Of Duty?
I'm thinking flashing evolution x i guess it's the best rom for q rn
I think the Pixel experience Q rom (last version 2020.02.14) is the best ..Battery life avarage 6 hours...Daily use ,game ,social Media ,listen music,watch movie etc..

So if I don't get it wrong, in all the android 10 based roms:
1) does the google assistant not work?
2) slow motion doesn't work?

Slow motion doesn't work, correct, and Google Assistant works but you cannot summon it using 'Ok Google'. You can use other methods of summoning the assistant.

I've used this ROM for a while and I used to get 8-9 hours of SOT on Stock Oreo, 7-8 hours on Stock Pie, and now I only get 5-6 hours on DerpFest. Performance is fine, though. It feels the same as what was on Stock Pie. I haven't tried intensive games on this ROM, but I have tried some 3D applications and performance seemed the same as was on Pie. The phone scores very slightly higher on single core Geekbench, though. The multi-core is the same as on Pie. I'm satisfied on this ROM other than the fact that slow-mo and screen casting do not work at all.
I'm thinking to install Q based rom but i'm using my phone for just playing PUBG Mobile so which Q rom is best in gaming performance
Battery life don't matters

I think all ROMs are equally good, but it's the kernel that matters. You can flash a new kernel and set a different profile for gaming.

Zentom,
which kernel do you think is the best, for battery life?
I finally rooted and flashed a good kernel, putting it under test ATM.
I wanted to ask if flashing the XXX NoLimits magisk module worth it and really improves the experience on the OP 8 Pro, since it's not a ROM, it's only a Magisk module (flash type).
I don't mean anything to the team, I heard it was great but I just don't want to mess my phone up with modules and other things, thanks

I used to flash xxx on the OnePlus 5, it was a full ROM back then but it was the best out of them all..
If the module is anything like the ROM then yes it's well well worth it, the developer gets so much right so for me it would be a go to ROM / Magisk ROM
I wouldn't even touch the optimization settings and stuff, no modern device needs them.
Maybe only debloat but that's it.

Id 100% turn off the page file no device with more that 4GB ram needs swap storage certainly not a phone with 12GB, the improvement in regards to gaming is night and day, so yep there is that.
Haven't flashed xXx so not sure what is on offer.
I have a saved config file from my time with the OnePlus 5 with xXx so I'll check on that and whatevers new.

Yep, it's a Magisk ROM, I'll surely give it a try soon.
I'm currently running stock OOS with Omega kernel, it's running very good.

Same, I have the 12gb RAM version so I don't think that any of these tweaks would really help, but I'll try some in the future, you know, we don't have much at the moment, the price of the phone is really high.
I run xXx with my own custom config on a OP8Pro 12GB/256GB with most tweaks emailed and zram disabled completely. Runs noticably faster overall. Snappier and launch times are super low. Also, even tho audio is good, the Viper + Dolby mod from xXx takes the speakers to a whooooole new level lol.
I always ran xXx on my old OP5 as well and it was great even tho I switched to Paranoid after a while just because I really love that UI style and customization. When PA Quartz is a bit more stable on the OP8Pro I will switch anyways but with xXx the stock ROM doesn't really miss anything that EdXposed and Gravitybox + Button Mapper + GCam can't fix like battery circle with percentage in it and flashlight shortcuts.

I rooted and flashed xXx along with Smurf kernel but I'm facing some issues with battery life, it's draining slightly faster than before. Other than that, the device is so responsive, fast and fluid.
I disabled zRAM completely and kept it all stock, that's the weird part but I hope I get better results this week. ??

Well, there's your problem. Smurf kernel.
I would stay very far away from that kernel.

Why? I think it mainly aims for performance and of course some battery improvements but not that much, it's not that bad.

That kernel is all about overclock and obselete poorly coded "tweaks" that are not need on a modern smartphone, especially not on Snapdragon 865.

You know better than me, I'm not much into these things but you know, one that says it's great and the other says it's bad, the only way to know is to test it myself.
I tested the kernel, it's close to stock in terms of performance but the battery in stock is better.
The reason I'm using it is because I'm running xXx module which is best with Smurf kernel but I might get everything back to stock and test another kernel without the xXx module. Any recommendations?
EDIT: I just flashed blu spark kernel, I'll test it and tell you how it performs ?

Haven't flashed it but tbh the 865 is a beast of chip, it can easily run Dreamcast ROMs which is just staggering really. To push the chip any further is just not required.
For me if you can obtain the performance you get from the stock kernel and save battery then go for whatever that kernel is, from experience on all my device save maybe the galaxy S3 the stock kernel usually provides the best balance of performance / stamina, all the more so with current chipsets.
Aim for battery, performance should take care of itself.
If you're pushing for more performance I would ask myself for what?
I personally push my device more than most, not all the time but the emulators I run are probably the most demanding programs you can get on Android, if I'm good with the output of FPS on them at stock then I think you'll be fine too.

You're right, even though I flashed some kernels but I didn't really notice any improvements in the performance, the device is too fast and doesn't need junk tweaks to be improved, but the battery is better now with the kernel I'm running. Thanks for advising me brother
