Since i am using Mi Pad for last few years, It didnt receive any stock MIUI update after android 4.4.4 and also it started to lag, became very slow recently, I decided to try a better custom ROm on that.
I have tried different custom rom after researching on xda developers and miui.com threads, i got quite a few options to try.
Here are the main custom ROMs i tried on my Mi Pad:
- LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8 Oreo)
- Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7)
- Resurrection Remix OS Android 7
- MIUI Smoke android 4.4
- Resurrection Remix Android 6
- Lineage OS Android 6
Naturally, i first tried the LineageOS 15.1 first, and it worked well as said in the thread. But sadly one of the processor was working with this ROM.
Since Mi Pad has a good hardware, it has Quad core processor, i didnt want to compromise witha single processor and i started trying other options.
Each OS had similar issues, mostly related to the processor, or camera.
Resurrection remix had a problem after going to sleep we need to manually reboot the tab display to come on.
At last, i found the Lineage OS 14.1 is the best ROM. It worked well for me, faster than the stock MIUI ROM, also the system was stable.
I am sharing the ROM files i used here:
- TWRP_multirom-v2.8.4-mocha_signed.zip
- TWRP 3.2.3
- mocha_repartition_1_2GB_Techeia.zip
- lineage-14.1-20170911-UNOFFICIAL-mocha.zip
- opengapps ( download from https://opengapps.org/ select Platform: ARM, Android: 7.1 , Variant: any as you like)
Please feel free to use these images, and enjoy flashing your Mi Pad.
Please remember Please do not try to flash if you dont know what you are doing. This may hard brick your device, and i we are not responsible for that.
However please feel free to comment if you have any questions, i will be happy to answer
Update:
I have posted a video screen recorded from the new rom to show the performance here:
