As we entered June 2023, I wanted to share my top 3 custom ROMs that I personally used and tested throughout May 2023. I’ve tried a lot of ROMs, but these three stood out because of their stability, real-world performance, and the kind of features that actually make day-to-day use better. If you’re trying to find the perfect ROM for your device without the confusion, this list is exactly for you. At number 3, I picked PixelOS because it delivers that clean Pixel-like, stock Android feel, while still giving you extra customization you don’t get on pure stock. It’s on Android 13 with the May 2023 security patch, and in my testing it stayed smooth and fast—so much so that it outperformed other custom ROMs in performance scores. Number 2 is Evolution X 7.9, a ROM I’ve used for a long time and it has never disappointed me. It’s clean, highly customizable, regularly updated, and I’ve even compared it against other big names like crDroid, Pixel Experience, Project Elixir, AOSP and more across performance, thermals, and RAM management. Finally, my top pick is Project Elixir 3.8—clean, fast, stable, widely available, and it surprised me with insane benchmark results on my Redmi Note 8, which is why it earned the #1 spot.
