Top 12 Custom ROMs for Realme 5 Pro

1. LineageOS 16.0

Lineage OS is the king of all custom ROMs available in the Android market. Most other ROMs take Lineage OS as their base ROM and modify it. This ROM is built with the help of the community, where the firmware distribution of Android Pie 9.0 is designed to increase the performance and stability of the operating system for your device, giving a pure stock experience.

Lineage OS is based on AOSP, where many users and developers are committed to the community and help grow daily, making it one of the best and most reliable custom ROMs. It can be used without the core Google applications or GApps.

This is the initial build where you may find bugs like Selinux being permissive while RIL, fingerprint, WiFi, Bluetooth, Cameras, Audio, Flash, GPS, and VoLTE are working fine.

To flash this ROM, download the latest build, reboot to TWRP, wipe Data, Cache, and System and do not wipe the Vendor.
