[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] dfight:
First of all, apology for my bad English. Need a lot of effort to understand my words.

I used miui 12 before. There are battery saver, permission controller, app behavior history

and internet tracking in miui 12.

So you can give game app blank data to play game, find out why this hour battery losing too much,

reject permission asked too often and restrict background data uploading/downloading.

But all thing are gone in custom android 10 rom. :(

Gallery can't let you write down words or edit picture like miui. :(

I install few roms and share my feeling to you. My opinions are very personall.

Not suitable to everyone.

#gaaps check gaaps version. And I decide to use nano.

https://opengapps.org/

What I know is:

super: all thing

stock: like google pixel phone

full: like stock, but do not replace original app inside from google app.

mini: include google server framework and important Gaaps

micro: basic google server framework and few Gaaps.

nano: basic google server framework, you need to download google app from playstore.

pico: lose some data in google server framework, some Gaaps may crashed.

crDroidAndroid v6.9

My first rom, first thought is there is no fullscreen gesture?

This is my first custom rom, so a lot of thought between miui 12 and custom rom.

Volume bar too short.

https://imgur.com/a/x0Fmlzd

See that? My finger is too big that I can't see it. I can't see where I adjust. Just like asus rog 3.

Pick up ringtone music and plug in 3.5mm headphone.

Heard voice from speaker and headphone. Why??

Press volume down button and no AI choose which volume to control.

Volume control is a mess.

Android 9 to 10 is very smooth though. Easier than I think.

8/5 security patch. So I get my goal.

There are so many options and very cool design than miui rom in power button.

No night light to let me protect eyes. :(

Maybe I don't find it. Too many settings. And settings search is bad.

I try to open developer mode to use cmd.

In miui 12 press miui version few times then developer options appeared.

In android 10 is pressing that build number few times. :(

lineage-17.1

Second rom

Everything is the same as crDroidAndroid without its own settings to customize. :(

Volume bar is bad as crDroid rom and latter I find out all rom are the same. :(

No night light.

7/5 security patch. :(

pass!

Havoc-OS-v3.8

Power button's options is good as crDroid and lineage.

And all rom are the same power button, better than miui 12.

Night light tints screen amber. Nice

Back gesture will vibrate. I found it in Buttons&Navigation.

8/5 security patch. Nice

Corvus Os v8.0

No download link :(

NG!!

aicp_whyred_q-15.0-WEEKLY

8/5 security patch. Nice

Small windows. :) cDroid/Havoc/lineage don't have it.

Default with no button press vibration. :) *thumb up

In other rom I need to turn off. EVERYTIME!!

Long press power button for torch. :)

Volume button wake up phone. :)

My redmi note 3 pro's power button is broken.

So I really need volume button to wake up phone to avoid that.

Double tap status bar to sleep. WoW~

Slide statue bar to adjust brightness. WOWWWWW~~~~

Power button is the same good. Support reboot to recovery.

Night light.

Lock screen shortcut support.

There is an charging animation but I don't see any animation when I plug in charger.

Ad block in settings?

Power battery saver is the same in these roms.

Only deny or accept. ??Miui has 4 options though.

And your turn battery saver on. Off is still there. bug?

And all roms has the same bug?

ion-2.9.a-EOL-whyred

When I try to download I see the title of rom "End of life".

I need monthly update...so pass this rom.

Reloaded-10.0-UNOFFICIAL

Stuck at reboot logo.

NG!!

Pixel Experience[AOSP]

android 9.0 and update date is too old.

pass!

Arrow-v10.0-whyred-OFFICIAL

After flashing Reloaded rom failed, flashing Arrow rom is successed.

Fullscreen gesture

Volume button wake up phone. :)

No three finger swipe down to screenshot? Or I can't find it.

Duckduck AI? Why I need it?

Lawnchair launcher could edit somethings including gestures like nova launcher settings.

8/5 security patch. Nice

AospExtended-7.3-whyred

Volume keys wake device.

Battery charge animation.

Statue bar to sleep or control brightness.

Lockscreen shortcuts.

Dark theme like others. Furthermore, there is black theme.

Control quicksettings icon's color and adjust whole notification color.

7/5 security patch. :(

I think lineage rom is basic custom rom.

Aicp, AospExtended, ZenX-OS are more customize.

Black theme and color in notification are good, only this rom has black theme.

There are no 8/5 security patch and small windows.

Via browser installed. hmm....no thought.

Battery saver turn on and it said off. Still the same as others. Bug

Reboot to recovery in power button advanced options is not worked. Bug

Quickcharge setting or Smartcharge.

ZenX-OS 1.8[STABLE]

what's the difference between Gapps Version and Vanilla Version?

I choose Gapps Version.

Ok...so Google already install. What? Gcam installed already? wow~~~NICE!

Wallpaper use gps??? what's this permission ask?

Fullscreen gesture default. yeah:)

8/5 security patch. :)

Screenshot can partial or fullscreen or longscreenshot. WOWOWWWWWWWWWWW

Volume key wake up device.

Haptic feedback, vibrate when the back gesture is triggered, you can turn it off.

Ok...batter than Havoc-OS maybe.

Smart charging.

Prevent ringing, press power and volume up buttons to mute, no media.

Charging animation work and so many options.

Small windows.

Lockscreen shortcut.

Notification show battery temperature.

Advance reboot has an hot option. hot?? what is this option work for?

If you disable this you can get more screen view.

But I can't use back function. :(

And I will lose some view space. Worse than miui 12. :(

And now. I can't go back to eu miui.

Orangefox recovery can't restore my data.

I think the reason is android 9 and 10 maybe.

I will find some time to think about kernel or other thing to do.

ZenX-OS 1.8[STABLE] is my choice by the way.

If I said that no function in that rom, maybe I don't use it for 1 hour.

So I can't find it. Sorry about that.

You need to install rom yourself. Maybe I am wrong.
