The Top List Of Realme X Custom ROMS
1. Pixel Experience
One of the best custom ROM for Realme X would be Pixel Experience which is based on the Android Open Source Project with pure Stock Android experience. You also get Google apps, and all the Pixel goodies are included such as the Launcher, Wallpapers, Ringtones, Lock Screen styles, Fonts etc. and you do not have to flash any GApps separately.
Pixel Experience developers always try to keep the ROM simple while stability and security are on their priority list with as much essentials features implemented for daily usage.
The current ROM is on its initial stage and unofficial running on Android Pie 9 where the developer chankruze is trying to fix the fingerprint issue, and we hope he will fix it soon.
