Which "Stable" ROM is better for everyday use.

[AndrewIT]

Hello everyone.
I've had my Mi4c for a more than 2 years now. I've been using Xiaomi.eu 8.1.2.0 ROM for a while and I realized that the phone gets hot even with just a light web-browsing. This started to bother me recently. So here I am asking if anyone can please suggest a "stable" ROM [or at least, one that doesn't need to be updated every week or so].
My usage of the phone is pretty basic: emails, calls and sms.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

From my experience CM and MIUI based on Nougat are inconsistent in terms of battery life. You can try MIUI based on 5.1 from Xiaomi.eu or RR. I highly recommend the last one with the exception of camera and mobile signal(optimal yet weaker than on MIUI).

I didn't have heating problems so I can't give my advice on that.

I would say the race for a stable Rom never ends.

*Also you can try MIUI based on Nougat + Charged Mod from Xda. Seems to improve battery life by 20% at least.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your prompt reply.
So are you suggesting that I should stick to Android 5 and/or 6?
What about TeamSuperluminal latest stable? Is it any good?

I would suggest you start with 6.12.22. See if it does the job for you. Then upgrade to one of the MIUI Nougat variants, I suggest you wait the next week weekly rom because at the moment there is a bug involving Google play Store and Nougat MIUI rom.

The transition from 6.12.22 to Nougat MIUI needs to be done via updater. After this, gone is your twrp as well as unlocked bootloader. Apply for unlock, unlock it, get twrp 3.0.3.0, flash it, get the latest build of RR 5.8.2.

6.12.22 - Nougat MIUI - RR 5.8.2. You can stop at any point in this transition if the rom fits your needs.

*I tried CM 13 from TS. I got 3,5 hours of SOT, medium to heavy use. Camera performance and mobile signal are mediocre. I would recommend RR 5.8.1 over this {+ it does not lock bootloader and its based on 7. 1.1.}

I recommend at least trying TeamSuperluminal CM13 123116 build. I have been running it for almost 2 months now. Very stable, good battery life, and overall faster than MIUI. I have no problems with MIUI, but 2GB RAM in my phone just wasn't enough for MIUI.

I've been using slimrom 1.7 for about 5 months now and i have to say that it's great and stable enough for daily use. Miui is just not for me and I plan to upgrade to aicp when i got some extra free time to spare.

Overall, i like the simple approach to make the rom light. The only hiccup sometimes is the camera and flashlight, it won't open. But reboot fixes it.
