ViperOS 3.1.1 Nougat For Xiaomi Mi 5 And Xiaomi Mi 5s
Xiaomi Mi 5 is a successor of Mi 4. It has a brilliant 5.15 inch IPS display with the resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. It has 4G connectivity with Quad core chipset clocked at 1.3GHz. Featured with 16MP rear camera it delivers best picture quality. Front camera is about 4MP which makes it perfect Mi device.
Stock Nougat ROM for my Mi 5 wasn’t able to meet my requirements. It was slow, battery inefficient and I was unable to multitask efficiently on it. Facing app crashes and launcher redraws was a common thing. So I decided to switch to a custom ROM which could satisfy my all needs and expectations that I have with my smartphone. With extensive searching and testing I could say that ViperOS was the one to fulfil them.
ViperOS ROM is based on the LineageOS and original remix ROM builds. This creates an awesome combination of experience because of its performance, power, and customization. It has tons of features and tweaks to play with, which will not only make your phone vibrant and full of life but also can increase your phone’s performance and in some cases boost its battery life.
Remember it is a stable and official version of the ROM. All parts of the ROM are fully functional. Yes, this means you can use this ROM as a daily driver for your smartphone.
