[Discussion] When do you think the custom roms will surpass miui?

[BLUEPOP]

i think right now there's no real custom rom that surpasses miui in performance or battery life, i honestly hate miui but every other rom i go to is worse in (only) these two category's,
do you think custom roms will surpass miui eventually?
also this is from my experiences so far so if you have a suggestion for a rom or a rom+kernel combo i'd like to hear them (and try them).

Thanks... And i sorry for my language

Mi-globe's ROM Builder is great for putting together a fairly debloated MIUI. I get the best performance and battery life with this rom, hands down.
As far as non-miui custom ROMs, PE CAF + Stock MIUI kernel, and the latest vendor/firmware is the best combo that I've found.
Next to PE CAF I like Havoc + Canting Kernel as well.

How can I find the stock kernel to flash it on pe caf? I like the rom but i'm getting low SoT on warp kernel

You are right about the battery and it's understandable that it wouldn't be that great on many custom ROMs due to the nature of MIUI to kill/restrict background apps or don't let them autostart by default.

But performance wise, I played PUBG on MIUI and I was devastated by how it performs, forget the benchmarks, they are all pumped on MIUI, but still getting better benchmark score and very very smooth gameplay on OxygenOS+eXtremeKernel. I tried going back to Stock MIUI after GameBoost was said to be improved, but it was not up to the mark in any way.

I used to run Official LOS and had fluid performance and decent battery combo on FrancoKernel before this and would get back as soon as I stop playing games

Edit: LOS+FK is more stable if you are not into games, and you should definitely give it a try. You can use Performance Profiles of FK Kernel Manager(paid app, worth it) to get more battery when needed.

Edit2: Just read the original developer's tweet in eXtreme Kernel thread, going to ditch this, OOS default kernel is also better.

yeah, i tried LOS with franco and battery-wise LOS was better with it's stock kernel for me, but idk why i don't really like LOS, so far the best Roms i tried and liked were crdroid nitrogen and PE right now im using miui eu

Thanks, You think it will work with pixel experience CAF?

If you like the MIUI flavor, you can stick to stock and debloat it. If you liked PE, you would love LOS along with Pix3lify Magisk Module and some other mods, as this makes it the same with greater performance.

I think I'll try PE with the stock miui kernel don't really want to use magisk because some games I play block it

Can you please update us about performance/battery when you do that? I'm in the same situation as yours with pe caf.

i'll try, so far i did an antutu benchmark and got a score of 280000 which is decent tbh, i'll try to update about battery life tomorrow, im using this kernel - kernel-beryllium_global_9.5.20-ak2.zip.

I have the same feeling. I have tried almost all custom ROMs on Poco F1, but never got the same level of performance that I get from Miui. And no, I am not a Miui fanboy. Infact this is the first time I am using miui and I just hate it for the amount of bloatware it comes with. I am saving money and as soon as I have enough, I will ditch this device and go for Samsung Galaxy S10e or OnePlus 7 pro.

well i plan to use this device for around 2-3 years so i hope custom roms will get better.

 

[BLUEPOP]

well after using it for a bit the stock kernel doesn't work well for me at PE, idk why but im assuming it just works better with MIUI, im on MALAKAS KERNEL for now.

In my case, the performance only went up, when I'm using custom ROMs. I'm using CrDroid now, which is a hella lot smoother and performs way better than MIUI ever did, I didn't notice a huge battery impact. On MIUI I was using my phone for 2 days before charging, same goes for this custom ROM. My main concern with MIUI were it's features, like the hide notch function was removed in pie, and little things like that, that pi*sed me off.

It is not removed. Just a missing function in 10.2.3. Update to the global latest stable of MIUI, you'll get that option.
