I have been using HentaiOS beta builds for the past month and oh .. my god... this might be the best rom I have ever used. Keep in mind there is 0 customization.. like nothing at all. It's a stock pixel 5 rom.Let me say that once again.. NO CUSTOMIZATION. Now that I have made myself clear please don't dm me messages like "what customization does hentaios have". Let me proceed. The battery backup is amazing and the stock sound is something extraordinary!

If you want customization I have only tried AICP and PixelUIPlus which both works amazingly well!!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Now that I see everyone happy with HentaiOS, I'm a bit hesitating to switch. But the lack of customization makes me a bit indecisive (coming from EvolutionX). Plus some devs/people have bad opinions about it, the devs of HOS aren't the best, and it isn't Open Source as I am aware of. 😕 There are so many options it's so hard to make a choice !
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Sir_gpm:
I'm in that Rom, everything is really smooth. I prefer to stay in the OEM ROM side, because of this:

OEM rom had every proprietary piece from soc & device manufacturer for device to work properly

Aosp from other side what's been left for kernel, collecting blobs trying to make device working as intended
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lawong:
agree with that.

im now on miui vn too , the best miui based custom rom in my opinion.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] devil_slayer:
i want to know how does the battery usage compare between stock miui and other custom roms aosp or miui based any real difference ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Sir_gpm:
Normally they are close in battery consumption, depends of the use.

But today I saw a screenshot almost 2 days and 8hrs sot.....I almost can't believe it. In other side normally I can achieve at least 9hrs Sot.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ajsmsg78:
Currenly, Arrow and Syberia are the best to me. I've flashed every rom many times as I have an extra Poco to play with. The runners up for me are crDroid and AICP. If you use the Always On Display you won't get great battery life on any of the ROMs. One of my pet peeves is if the rom doesn't have something so simple like a clear all button at the bottom in recents and an option to only show the battery percentage in the statusbar then it's a failure.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] devil_slayer:
Thanks a lot for your replies ... Still not sure if i want to keep the stock miui or go custom ..

Is there any thing like the (samaung knox trip) that if i decide to go i will not be able to revert to complete stock state permanently
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] !codelocker!:
Apparently, Open Source except some Google Apps PowerHAL stuff
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] !codelocker!:
its xiaomeme they wouldnt dare to put anything like that because 70% of their customers flash custom roms 🥲
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
I saw some people really mad about HentaiOS so idk

is it considered a leak? idk
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
If it's in private groups or something...

Anyways, it's not very important
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] alexsrg:
Which custom firmware fully supports all of additional tools: MEMC, HDR+, Dolby Atmos and floating windows for any apps?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
I think the only ones are the MIUI based ones (e.g., xiaomi.eu, oneOS), but I could be wrong.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zaki789:
What custom rom aosp best for gaming apart of course miui based roms
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Kimbaroth:
This answer probably is going to sound harsh, but it is truth (at least for me hahaha).

I've tried literally every custom rom from here (and also a few ones that are baked outside XDA, i.e. HOS, the Android 12 build, etc) and yeah, not even one custom rom gets near the stability, compatibility and battery life of MIUI.

I don't like MIUI at all, but the battery consuption and stability is the best to be used as a daily driver. I hate when I want to do something on my daily basis and then I fail to do it because I'm using a custom rom, for example: bluetooth issues when connecting the phone with my car, video calls having audio issues, low volume on calls, etc) or just taking a photo.

MIUI covers all those little points, and at the end of the day, is the only rom that fullfill all my needs. I personally use eu (the weekly release), as it is just an optimized version of MIUI, but yeah, I still dream on the day that a custom rom gets to the same level of stability and compatibility as MIUI. I TRULY love pixel like roms, but I just don't wan't to sacrifice stability or just simply downgrade the cam quality just for that.

And if I really need to chose a custom rom, I'll pick Lineage, it's the best custom rom out there, has awesome battery life, extra features and the rom/mantainers are not just going to stop developing the weekly nightlies just because they get tired of it. On second place there is HOS, the only issue with HOS that I had is that the thermals of my phone gets real high when I play games (this does not happen with other roms).

=)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
That's what I was wondering. Now I'm might be switching... Just some questions, are the gestures working with custom launchers on MIUI that's essential? For the rest, I may try it myself

Now there are still many MIUI based custom ROMs (MIUIVN, xiaomi.eu, OneOS, MIUIMiX, etc)

That's a sad truth, hope one day AOSP ROMS will be better... I heard once that custom ROMs only become better after the device is not any more maintained by the brand.

I don't want to test ROMs for the rest of my life......
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Kimbaroth:
Sadly nope, gestures only works with Xiaomi's launcher (either poco launcher if you are using an stable official rom or milauncher if you are using anything else).

I wish we have the possibility to AT LEAST use custom icon packs (like with poco launcher) on the mi launcher, but meh, we'll have to live with this. =/
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Ahh, I think this will keep me away from MIUI for now...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] OUTbrain:
Stable miui:) Funny. I really try to use it and it's just not possible. Battery and performance.. Excellent. Features ok. Totally ruined notification system.. Disaster. Every update new bugs.

For me custom ROMs are more stable.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zaki789:
So better stay with miui then?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] litetaker:
Hey all, I have been using ArrowOS for a while now but I am a little frustrated that the camera app is not as good as the one in MIUI based ROMs and even GCam can't enable all features available in the stock camera app. And cameras are really crucial for me. As well as a bug with incoming phone calls, where I cannot hear the other side until I enable speaker phone.

So, in that sense is the only option for me is to use a MIUI based ROM to get access to the stock camera app? Also do MIUI based ROMs give me access to all the stock features that are missing in AOSP based ROMs like Dolby support etc?

Lastly, what do you all suggest in terms of best features and most stable ROMs? Is it better to go to MIUI based ROMs to have the most features/most stability or some AOSP ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] mocmocmoc:
You have no choice but stick with MIUI. No other ROM have full compatibility (to get full features).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Barracuda77777:
Although I disagree with your assumptions about battery life, having a ROM free from spyware and adware will always trump a Miui rom that is a beta at best.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] !codelocker!:
ok I only know that the developer is rude but the rom itself its pretty good. I am currently on ArrowOS. Arrow , crdroid and hentaios seems to be the most stable roms atm
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Yeah for now, but with how much there is in development right now, it will probably change
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
SyberiaOS all the way. Is the most stable, has customization options, highest benchmarks, monthly fixes/updates, very underrated.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Yeah, not many people talk about it, but I've heard good things about it
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] !codelocker!:
yeah i tried Syberia like 2 months ago and the audio quality was the worst I have ever heard, probably fixed by now but im too lazy to change roms 😂
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
yeah that was the only problem with the rom but they've fixed in now.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] !codelocker!:
I hate to be that guy asking but how is battery drain?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] regedit12345:
I am glad you asked. To be honest, i have tried optimus drunk and immensity kernals on SyberiaOS but SyberiaOS's native kernal is much better than others. Gives me 5hrs SOT.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
Gestures work properly on any ROM. I made a tread just because i saw a lot of people saying the same "gestures don't.work....." crap. They work fine as long as you install Magisk and Nav Remover Module.

the tread in in the guide section
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
As Calamaros said best ROM is a matter of subjective preference. I also tried for at least one day in this order Xiaomi EU, Pixel Experience, OneOs, Syberia, Arrow, Havoc, Crdroid, EvolutionX, Lineage. In the end the winner for me was ArrowOs because is really, really fast, NFC, banking and Netflix (L1certification) works, not as customisable as HavocOs, Crdroid and EvolutionX but not lacking either, and the battery seems to last the longest. I don't game but I do Netflix, HBO and Emby alot and I get 7-9 hours screen time of 1080 playback at 50-60% luminosity on Data and Bluetooth (AptX HD). Animations are set at 0.5x and unnecessary boot apps disabled. If it helps someone...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Barracuda77777:
So I.managed to build Aosp Extended, based on Lineage build trees, any fans of the ROM? Been couple days, have not come across any issues, only the battery drain while AOD is activated like all the custom ROMs ATM.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Hani K.:
Looks good, I haven’t gotten my device yet but thinking of getting one soon and doing some development.

Did you try Quantic kernel to lower AOD drain?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Barracuda77777:
Yes I did, I did have a device tree that AOD worked flawlessly, but now sadly pinch to zoom stopped in emails, gallery and some other apps, I reverted so many commits until after two weeks I gave up and migrated to Lineage, it's not the kernel, it is something at the device tree level, I suspect Qcom changed something that screwed my tree.

any ways, I am very happy with lineage tree, I am sure it will be fixed at some stage.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] AKASHPAUL:
What is lacking in Havoc/CrDroid/EvolutionX ? I mean what made you switch back to arrow os ? banking apps worked in Havoc/CrDroid/EvolutionX . Could you please explain with some pros and cons in detail ?

Thanks In Advance :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
I had no issues with banking apps in either of the ROMs. Basically they are mostly the same. Havoc/CrDroid/EvolutionX have more customisation possibilities and are a delight to play with.

But the three main reasons I stick with Arrow OS are Double Tap to Wake that works, Viper4Android that works without any issues (like not processing sometimes), and because it boots in around 10 seconds with Poco unlocked logo. From the Android logo to pin entering it takes 6-7 seconds. Battery consumption seems a little bit better in comparison with the three ROMs mentioned before. For the banking apps i use magisk hide. Google Pay works also, but only if your bank is compatible with GPay. I use Gestures and Nova Launcher and for hiding navigation buttons I use NavBar remover Magisk module ( i made a thread about hiding Nav buttons). I use MIUI Control Center to customize the Android Shade beyond any ROM could. I also use Acca app to limit charging to 90% only and shut down at 4% percent to protect the battery. The native SmartCharge function is no longer available in most ROMs.

Also Arrow has automatic updates, just like MIUI or Windows, and are frequent, at least one per week. That's about it, for anything else you need to ask specifically for ...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] AKASHPAUL:
Thank you for explaining everything in detail. Cheers ❤️

I am facing 2 issues after 2 days of usage (arrow 14th sept build)

1. Usb file transfer/ptp nothing works . Only charging works .

2. Audio sometimes get muted for few seconds when playing Facebook videos. .
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] namhuyenthatbao:
You can try OneOS base miui
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
1. About USB transfers. Even if you don't get a pop-up you should be able to see a notification in the notification center(shade) about USB connection, where it should let you select File Transfer option. Or better, go to developer options, select preferred USB connection settings and set it default to file transfer. Therefore every time you connect your phone to a PC it will enter into file transfer mode.

2. I also noticed that Facebook WhatsApp and Reddit videos play sound over other apps like YouTube or a player resulting into having two audio streams playing simultaniously. Only as no app is in fullscreen.

The only time I truly experienced an audio issue it was when an alarm is ringing while YouTube is running in the background. YouTube sound is sometimes muting for about 2 seconds and coming back for another couple of seconds and so on. The issue stopped the moment I turned of the alarm off. I work in shifts and i use AMdroid app. I set my alarms 5 years ago and i forget about it unless my shift changes or I go into holidays. Even If I change my ROMs all alarms are automatically restored. The app is set to ring at max levels even if the screen is on on or any sound is playing. I mentioned this because I am not sure if my situation is applicable in other situations or on inbuilt alarm setting.

I have no other advice to give you about sound issues you experience, that was my only weird manifestation sound related i ever had, and i update Arrow every week, even today I did. Thankfully no issues so far. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] AKASHPAUL:
1. My pc isn't recognising the device. That is the problem . But thanks . Also can't install magisk in any way (twrp recovery, app , sideload )

Also i am on September 14 and can't seem to download sept 25 build anyhow and unable to update

Besides that Arrow OS is amazing.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
Check into developer options if USB Debugging is on. It should be on in order for the PC to recognise your phone.

Try restarting both the PC and the phone and try again.

If nothing work try reinstall the whole os with the latest update

Arrow OS Update 2021-09-25

Device changelog:

- Fixed recording 4k video

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] PhamTrinh:
yes, it's. best rom now
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Kimbaroth:
IDK, a rom from a page called "the90sguy" with literally 0 support and literally 0 facts as "proof" to really say that that rom is "THE BEST ROM NOW" is kinda... shady.

This is why we have new threads every week from people asking for "HELP" because they "bricked" their phone.

I'm new to roming and was wondering which Pixel rom is better, Pixel Experience Plus, Pixel Plus UI or Pixel extended?

Define insane battery life.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] varunrocks17:
I aosp....arrow in miui EU is best
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Barracuda77777:
I have moved on to AEX for the last month, battery life is stil the same, I get 10 hours of SOT over 48 hours down to 15%, with moderate use, I have 3 exchange email accounts, Nextcloud, syncthing, Talk., Blabber all active in the background, phone still goes to deep sleep as soon as the screen gets turned off, My usage consists of playing videos, reading articles and wifi calls over blabber. AOD would still keep CPU from going to deep sleep, SO I have that feature turned off.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
From the 4 roms I tested I always went back to crdroid. Lot's of features and still the smoothest user experience paired with pretty good battery.

The ones I tested were Havoc, DotOs, EvoX and ofc crdroid.

I would also be interested in this. For privacy reasons I don't want to use any pixel rooms at all because of the whole google bloat but a friend of mine want's too and asked me about the best pixel rom.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] fadedave:
Did you flash base miui after each rom change, or did you just flash the new rom's zip, and wiped data?

(I am planning on switching from Arrow to crDroid)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] motbot:
what roms support dolby and aptx adaptive?

Have to ask, what is AEX and where can I find more about it? never heard of it.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
AEX is AOSP Extended, it's unofficial. You can find it on telegram (can't link it). I don't know if it is somewhere else.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
I never flash MIUI between roms but I get the infamous error 1 (kerror 7) thing sometimes and then I always have to go to MIUI first. But this also happens with dirty flashing uploads of the same rom and not just when switching roms.

you shouldn't have to go MIUI first but when you do, you can be sure that it will work.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] fadedave:
I see, thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] nehalchoy:
since you mostly do Netflix, HBO and stuff, what I want to know is how is the black crush issue on arrow os? Is it better than that on miui or the same? what about the green tint issue?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] sdkyron:
I'm having the same "issue" as the OP, currently i'm on LineageOS and everything runs just fine but i want to try something else, i just don't know which one to pick. I know "best" is subjective but i'm still curious.

Also, which gapps would you guys suggest, i only use gmail, maps, fit and the store.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Honestly, for AOSP, there are so many options. But if you don't mind having not much customization, I would go with arrowos : constant update, and stable. But other ROMs maybe better (most likely), depending on what you want and need.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RS156:
Just asking the question again.

Currently are there any other roms available that have all the features in the stock rom? From what I have been reading most of the aosp roms have more battery drain, lower brightness, lower camera ( but can be improved by gcam), and worse sound.

Are there any roms available that give as much features as current stock rom as of today?

I personally feel for a normal user, it is better to wait and just use debloated stock MIUI. Many people tell they hate MIUI, but what they really hate are all those notification ads and that battery drain. With simple debloat the battery improves by around 20 - 30% and you retain all the features. You don't risk soft bricking your phone and keep your bootloader locked until there are custom roms better than current debloated stock MIUI.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] motbot:
have you heard of Miui ROMs?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RS156:
Yes. They are good but personally I would not risk rooting and unlocking bootloader just for slightly better MIUI experience.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Noe367:
Honestly, in my opinion, I could never go back to MIUI, even with all the "features" that it offers. AOSP ROMs, are, to me, the best options, nearly everything is perfect You just have to find the one you want
