Hi all,
I got a used Redmi3s , So im planning to reset the phone completely and use it as a secondary Phone.. MIUI Rom has so many bloatware and im used to CM roms easiness and light weight .. So i had plan to Unlock BootLoader, Flash TRWP and Any Custom ROM .

Now is it worth to Flash Custom ROM as i need a stable rom with battery ?
Or i shuld just root the MIUI and Uninstall almost all Unwanted MIUI apps. My concern is mainly on apps which run on background and use my Internet ...

Hope to read some user reviews on CUSTOM ROM and Stable ROM ...

Custom ROMs are always better than MIUI in terms of battery, speed, updates,etc. But MIUI is what you pay for and stability is always higher. Since you've unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery, why not try a custom ROM and then decide.

Miui 9 is fast as advertised. And I believe the camera problem you mentioned must be about google camera or a new ROM which appeared recently. Google camera modded has that new bokeh features now available for our device. As a result, it has trouble with other functionality. But stock camera in custom ROMs have no issue at all. And there is a camera issue in Cosmic OS official which will get fixed in future updates.

Anyways it all comes down to your personal preference- MIUI or Custom ROMs.

Stock rom minus bloatware is better imo. I've been on stock rom minus bloatware for a long time. It's stable, bug free and I don't have to flash new rom every week. Battery life is amazing, 10 hr SOT.

Can u guide me ?
I think steps is like
1 unlock bootloader
2.Flash TWRP
3. Flash SuperSU to root

and wat are the bloatwares which are safe to be removed
