Custom ROM slower than stock ?

[Aventine]

Hi everybody,

So I tried LineageOS, CrDroid (favourite one) and EvolutionX 2.0 and while I liked the experience as a whole, I seems to me that apps launch time on custom ROMs is way slower than MIUI (tested on EvolutionX and CrDroid).
For example Youtube takes 5-6 seconds to open on custom ROM but only 1,5 second on MIUI, and it's the same thing with most other apps.
I always see things such as "lightning fast ROM" or "very fast ROM" in the comments, like no one has noticed that apps are much slower to load.
Hell, even my old Honor 6X does much better than my Note 7 on custom ROM in that regard.

So, is it just me or is that normal because of less optimization ?

I also noticed that the custom rom works slower, that's why I switched to stock miui

Hi, I used Resurrection Remix and did not faced any slowness. Youtube for example took 2-3 seconds to open.

Interesting, maybe I'll give Resurrection Remix a try later sometime. Thanks for your reply.

I use pixel experience and youtube opens in 2-3 seconds, but this rom uses more ram than stock, in stock free ram is 800mb / 1gb, pixel experience is 800mb / 600mb. Sometimes it causes slowness.

Prefer stock miui.eu version over other custom roms . I also switched back after trying 2-3 roms to miui.

Weird, in my case the custom ROM (AospExtended no gapps, using MicroG, no custom kernel or firmware update) made everything way less laggy and more snappy in general. Apps open in 1 or 2 seconds all the time, battery life is exactly the same as MIUI, gaming performance is the same as before, I've got like 2GB of free RAM (I used to have around 1.5GB with MIUI) when not gaming and most importantly, 0 bloatware.

Interesting as 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]?

They should all work nicely, all three of them support signature spoofing.

Using Resurrection Remix and its a lot smoother

Smoother than stock miui?

 

[Aventine]

I went back to global MIUI (debloated) since it's the smoothest but I do miss CrDroid though
However RAM was never an issue with both stock and custom Roms, always around 2 GB of free RAM.

I'll give Resurrection Remix a shot someday I think.

When I first set up Pixel Experience, it was considerably slower than miui. Turns out I mistakenly set up my super old 64gb microsd as internal storage. The os installed several apps to the microsd. I had to reimage and set it up as removable storage and all is well.

Miui 11

I think Miui rom is always the best.

 

[nexuspur]

Los16 is definitely faster than miui!!!

I have Havoc OS 3.2 Android 10 on my Redmi 5 plus and it is super fast compared to miui 10 or 11. Animations are fluid and the whole system feels like flagship. Miui 11 was a disaster on my phone and many other models.
