Hello! I've found the best custom rom + kernel for my needs and I wanted to share with you guys. :)
In my opinion the smoothest, good battery backup (8-9 hours sot) and performance combo is Pixel Experience + and Predator kernel. To make all of your apps work properly enable force fulllscreen mode for any of them . Now let me share with you guys some battery tweaks:

1. Install Naptime and make sure that these options are enable: https://imgur.com/a/TR0EV5d

2. Restrict any app in the background that you don't need to work in the background, like these apps: https://imgur.com/a/INZF0Bi

3. Disable unused default apps like these: https://imgur.com/a/PAqMJpr
and disable Google Assistant if you don't use it ( if you disabled Google app you will not found Search, Assistant and voice in the settings ): Settings - Google - Account services - Search, assistant and voice - Google Assistant - Assistant - General - Disable Google Assistant. Also disable location/ Find My Device, automatically data sync for apps.

4. Disable automatically backup for Google Photos.

Here are some apps which I use it and it will make your life easier:

- Youtube and Youtube Music without ads ( no need to root ): https://vancedapp.com/

- Magisk, needs to be flashed in custom recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vzf3re143yb68uc/Magisk-v21.1.zip/file

- Google Camera. You will need to install "Remove Google Camera" module in Magisk first if you have it already installed in your rom, the link for this module is this one: http://www.mediafire.com/file/bhm6dhrrnqiar2d/RemoveGCam.zip/file
Google Camera ( if you don't have it already installed as default camera, you can install it as any apk file, no need to root ) , this is the download link for it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/eogevstxhlq0yvv/MGC+7.4.201+Parrot043+V1.1.apk/file

- L1 Security patch that will make Netflix stream more than SD: https://www.mediafire.com/file/85mrfht25lzjfjx/DRM_L1_Patch.zip/file
( needs to be installed in Magisk )

- I also changed the default launcher because it's not that customizable, and I found this launcher to be more customizable and well optimized:

- Miui is using Dirac Audio to make the sound quality better and clear. If you want to have the same sound qualiy like in Miui install these modules in Magisk ( Install in this order ):

1. Audio Modification Library: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wigiq7cxf488frr/1.Audio_Modification_Library-v4.0(55).zip/file

2. Dirac Audio:

- If you want to have Dolby Atmos install these Magisk modules ( Install in this order ):

1. Audio Modification Library: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wigiq7cxf488frr/1.Audio_Modification_Library-v4.0(55).zip/file

2. Audio Configuration Database:

3. Dolby Atmos:

- Custom dark boot animation of EvolutionX rom to not kill my eyes when I boot my phone in the evening :laugh::

All these files I shared with you I am sure that have no viruses. I hope that I helped you and I have a question for you guys: What is the best combo for your needs? What custom rom and what kernel?

I use PE + with stock kernel without any tweaks and I get about 8 hours sot.

Those tweaks just **** up performance and multitasking
So in terms of performance it is worse

Everyone has their own personal opinion. But I don't think that restricting apps to work in the background, Naptime or disable some bloatware can negativity affect the performance. On the contrary, it should improve performance and battery life.

Yeah ofc
Everybody uses their smartphones differently.
I use lot of multitasking.
Before i had miui it was so agresive on killing apps. That's why i switched and i use PE and it's beautiful.
And I tried storm breaker.. little difference in battery Life but it wasn't that smooth and fast as stock kernel.
At least for me

It doesn't have any effect multitasking in any way. The apps still don't refresh after leaving them in the background, the apps remains normal.
