Hello Bois, so basically I'm so done with the stock os of mi A1 and I would like to try a ROM well can you guys tell me which ROM I should flash considering the fact that it should contain many customisation and also should have a decent battery backup tooo... So can you guys suggest me some good ROM ? When i researched on internet, it said Havoc os is cool so should I continue on that ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE !

All pie roms are almost the same and the customisations are different on each one. You should consider reading the features of the roms in their threads and select the one that suits you the best.

What customisation you need?
You can get all by just installing gravitbox, xposed & a custom kernel for battery.
I agree.
Sadly Xposed isn't available for Pie so in the meantime (I know that Xposed probably won't be released for 9.0) i switched to custom Rom.
I'm using AEX at the moment and it seems a good option to me.
My phone has all the customisation I need, my data is encrypted, I'm able to pass Safetynet check and Selinux is enforcing.
When and IF Xposed will support Pie I'll come back to stock ROM, because Gravitybox is simply the best in my opinion.

so bro if i want to go to a custom ROM should i wipe the internal storage too ?.. well, it got wiped once while i was unlocking the bootloader and rooting ... so to install a custom ROM should i wipe the internal storage once again ? or just flash the ROM straight away ?

You have to check if hardware encryption is supported by the ROM you want to install. If it's supported you can wipe data only. If it's not supported need to format data (internal storage will be wiped too).
