[Q&A] [Newbie to RN3] Coming to Redmi Note 3 from Redmi 2 Prime - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, I am planning to buy the Redmi Note 3 silver (India). Would like to know a few things ---
1. Is the Indian version mostly found to be the SD (snapdragon) one, or the MTK (mediatek) one?
2. How is the development going on? Do we have any MM custom ROM/kernel combinations offering more than or around 8-9 hours of SOT? (with or without features like faux sound / dt2w / etc.)
3. I might sound like a total freeloader, I agree, but would request you to please direct me to a contact point if, for now, specific answers to questions above are unavailable.
Thanks a lot!

Okay.
1. Indian version is only snapdragon one.
2. Development is very fast and there are multiple of MM custom ROM around here like cm13 by @santhos M and another cm13 by @banmeifyouwant. You can see yourself the redmi note 3 section.
enjoy your RN3 with custom ROMs

Next Sale?

Redmi 3 Pro: most purer-stable rom out there?

Hi
Whats up?
Bought the Redmi 3 Pro 3GB/32GB version.
After read a lot and especially the ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro thread
I read that the MIUI's rom is onerous the phone with so much bloatware apps(cleanmaster, antivrus, Micloud and so more).
So, what is the most stable rooted rom w/o bugs at the area? (Read that the CM13 still have some annoying bugs)
I'm totally noob at the beginning after buying a new device
Saw the MIUI 8 V6.7.7 -BUT- still prefer more "puerer" rom and ofcoarse - with the least Lags as possible.
Prefer a rom that comes rooted comes with twrp + gapps installed that keeps the great battery life of the RN3 PRO.
Is there a "tut's" for how to?
Thanks very much for your help
Been using nehz's CM 12.1 for weeks and it's been pretty stable, some small bugs but it's not that bad. Battery life is almost the same as MIUI, I get a 6.5 to 7 hours SOT.
I'm new to MIUI also have a Redmi 3 pro for two weeks now and I have to say I'm quite happy with MIUI so far. Im currently running the MIUI 8 spaceX rom which is rooted so any apps I don't want to use I have frozen or uninstalled using titanium backup. Before this I've always had some form of CyanogenMod on my older phones and thought that I'd have to flash cm again but so far I'm happy with MIUI

Thanks for your replays!
I always prefer a ROM without bloatware, that's why I think I would prefer the CM.
Is there a way to flash the ROM and and root it at the same process?
Thanks again.
There's no bloatware in the either of ManHiT's MIUI roms. Maybe 6 or 7 system apps that you won't want to use but these are easily uninstalled once you have root.

I second this. In SpaceX/Manh_IT bloatware should not be a problem. I've rooted and removed the ones that I do not use. Just make sure you NEVER remove the MI Account and Find Phone applications. IT WILL render your phone unuseful and needing to flash again.
Thanks very much for your help.
I got the MTK Helio X10 version.
I understood that this is a sub-model for the Chiniese market.
I plan to root it and in case i wont be satified with the MIUI, would flash some clean rom that would be as close to a stock android.
Is there any GLOBAL rom for this model?
Have a good weekend!

Redmi 3 is a model for the Chinese model, there is no submodel. You probably got a fake.

Hi,
This is what I ordered:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiao...7-16-0MP-TOUCH-ID---Silvery-White-362395.html
Are you sure that there is 1 global model?
Cuase, I read that there is 2 models with 2 different proccesors:
1) MTK chipsent (Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core Helio X10)
2) MSM chipsent (Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650)
So there is must be a defference with the roms for the 2 sus model's, arent?
Would love to be more clear about that.
Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake when typing.
No matter if the forum is about NOTE 3 or NOTE 3 PRO. You bought a NOTE 3 version.
Here on this forum we talk about Redmi 3 / PRO not Redmi NOTE 3 / PRO.
You need ask for help on this forum.

Thanks alot guys :highfive:

A couple questions about ROM installations

Hello, I'm new to the ROM installation stuff and I'd like some questions answered.
I've got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 PRO.
1. Will a ROM for a Redmi Note 3 work for a Note 3 Pro?
2. Do ROMs work in all regions? If I downloaded a ROM made for China or Europe, will my phone still connect to Australian mobile networks?
3. What ROMs would people recommend for a Note 3? I'm after better speed and battery life.
Thanks in advance guys
Regards,
Anthony

What ROMs are available for Redmi Note 3 Pro?

I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro next year and I want to install a newer version of android 6.0 or 7.1.
I see many ROMs for Redmi Note 3 but I'm not sure if they would work for the Pro version and I don't want to flash the wrong ROM and brick my device.
hey, every roms for redmi note 3 "snapdragon" are for redmi note3 pro

Mokee marshmallow and CyanogenMod 13 are stable, I like slim rom. I have come full circle back to global dev mm.
Fortunately we got a separate thread between Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version and the other Redmi Note 3 Mediatek version in XDA, so there will be easier for you to choose what ROM u wanna install on ur device and just make sure that u are in right thread.
We got a plenty custom ROM based on MM as well as Nougat and we all know that Nougat is still in alpha or beta stage so you may come across with particular bugs that came from the device cos we got some different versions like fingerprint sensor, camera, led etc, but in MM we have almost rock stable build, choose wisely.
And another thing that u wanna note that actually we have two version ot Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon, they are Kenzo (which ppl mainly use this device) and another one with codename Kate (special edition). What we look here, that Kenzo has many dev support whereas Kate doesn't and you may end up with bootloop if u flash Kenzo's ROM over Kate, but sometimes it will work sometimes ot doesn't. Also if we compare side by side between Kate and Kenzo, we look that Kate is bit taller than Kenzo, thanks to additional 4G bands.
That's all I think and I hope you are satisfied with ur decision like I did.
Last but not least, WELCOME. THANKS.

I am not buying or have 4x so again question is;
Can roms for Snapdragon variants be flashed on to international variant with Snapdragon ? Would that effect band 20 in any way?

Hmm....
If you read this post , you'll get it.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mido-rom-for-global-international-version.39385/
I guess 4x is called "Mido" and somebody on the link abov said all Mido roms works with i ternational variant...
For anyone wondering , i bought and flashed mido developer rom, stable roms they work and my band 20 is not touched.
But camera is really bad (samsung sensor)... My old jiayu s3 was way better...

project treble for (Kenzo) Redmi note 3

Hello good developers hope you guys are doing well I just wanna say thanks for the hard and fantastic work you guys have done for Redmi note 3 kenzo.
But as now I can see clearly that Redmi note 3 is dying and there's no hope as there's no project treble support.
So I request you guys to please make Redmi note 3 project treble supported so we can enjoy nice ROMs.
As everyone knows Redmi note 3 runs on marshmallow 6.0 officially and it was already dead but just because of the hard work of good developers it was pretty much saved.
So here is my huge request that please........ please......... please ......make project treble for our Redmi note 3 I mean it's such a shame because even Redmi 3X/Redmi 3S/Prime have unofficial project treble support which is definitely not good as Redmi note 3 and was released at very low price.
Please developers do something please give a little bit of your precious time for project treble (Kenzo).
And please tell me in the comments if any good developer is really ready to make a change..... please guys common just one last thing.... please.

Go to mi forum and Write this to xiaomi developers. Its their job. Xda is for developing kernel and custom roms . not for rewriting vendor code. Its huge work. If u can afford then hire a dev and tell him to rewrite.
And If u don't understand what treble is then google it.

Yes. Note4 is supported. Coz it got code from miA1. MiA1 has same hardware and chip like note 4.
Redmi note 3 will get treble if Mi Max get official oreo from xiaomi. We can copy the code. Same hardward and chip.

We need Oreo proprietary blobs to make treble possible. So if it is found then it can be possible. Don't compare Redmi note 3 with 4

Its not like easy said and done thing.Treble is implemented only from android oreo 8.0, so any device launching with stock version as android 8.0 will support treble by default. Our device is still on old blobs and secondly providing and developing latest blobs is job of OEM not ours. There are lot more complicated stuff!
Ps:- eventually you will get android p's custom rom next year probably ?? without treble (maybe) , believe on devs!
time you got a new phone...be happy with the roms that the devs have developed so far...they pushed it as far as oreo when mi devs just quit at mm
Also, mi max getting Oreo just won't happen, ever. Xiaomi has a policy of 1 major android update per device (except for android one devices). RN3 was released with lolipop, that's why it received MM upgrade and has been stuck there ever since. Mi max was released with MM, so it got nougat as an update and will stay there. Even if Oreo for mi max were to be the once in a lifetime miracle, xiaomi could (and most likely would) release it without treble support since it's optional for devices upgraded to Oreo.
Sony x dual (suzu) has same hardware and has got oreo update , the oreo blobs used in some oreo roms are ported from suzu,there is a device ,copy the code ,it is not that easy ,
@troolie Just to clarify Redmi series phones only get one android version upgrade. So it is still possible Mi Max might get Oreo as Mi Series get at least 2.
Is it true????

Is this true for the cheaper mi phones though? Like the mi4c and mi4i? I dont think they got two version updates. And from what i've seen the mi max miui 10 is still nougat.
