Need Suggestions - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi friends,
First of all I would like to thank all the developers, testers and members of the forum. It is good to see that new roms, kernels are still being developed.
I just got a Note 3 few days back and I want to gain max from it in terms of balance/battery performance along with some customizations. Although I am familiar with the concept of rooting etc but in a simpler way. Like I have Nexus 7 2013 and there is a tool called Wugfresh NexusTool Kit. It does all things by itself and I just have to download roms or update the ToolKit.
I do not want to try many roms or kernels to find a right one for me. So consider this as a review suggestion for Rom+Kernel Combo. Now, What I need is :
1a. Volte must work,
1b. FP must work,
1c. Xposed Framework should work for greenify/adaway etc (preferred choice)
1d. Battery should not drain more than stock else no point flashing custom rom for me.
1e. Signal should be stable & wifi/hotspot work without problem as I use this device solely for WifiHotspot.
1f. Should be stable but I can adjust with less important bugs like Reading Light, Lite Mode setting etc. I dont need them.
1g. Feature rich.
1h. Rom should use least resources/ram etc and have no bloatwares.
So, kindly help me in finding a stable Rom+Kernel combo. My device is Kenzo(Snapdragon) with the latest stock MIUI 8.1.1.0 Rom and FP is FPC. Also, I do not have micro sd card so I can take back up of phone on the phone itself. I would also like to know about the process of successfully using f2fs format on Note 3. So friends, I am awaiting your kind suggestions.
Thank you.

If you want Xposed, you can't have Nougat, there's no Xposed for it. Radon kernel and the ROM I linked to is a good combination.

You can try RR Remix Rom + Radon kernel. Its a great combo with lots of feature, good battery life and stable for daily use. If you want Xposed than flash MM version of RR Remix Rom cause Nougat Rom does not support Xposed as of now.

Thanks but in Lineage OS 13(very good rom), people are still reporting bugs. I prefer a stable rom with almost no bugs.

Thanks, but which rom supports substratum and vulcan, if not RR Remix?
And which Recovery would be good, ZCX or Official TWRP 3.0.2.2?

MIUI the best for rn3? thers a custom much better than it?

Hey guys,
So I was wondering if there was a better ROM than MIUI that I could flash on the Redmi note 3 .I'm currently using a unlocked rooted rn3 with MIUI 8.1.1.0 .I kinda like the ROM but I want a change . If there's a well optimized and lag free rom than the MIUI please suggest.
I like the cynogen ones and had tried them,But I wanna know the best ROM I could get for this device. Thanks in advance ?
You can try RR Remix Rom or any AOSP based Rom for lag free performance and also as daily driver. Actually there are lots of ROM for our device you can try yourself and find out which satisfies your needs. Best of luck.

Okay.have you tried the resurrection remix ROM for yourself ? And if you the download link please direct me .Thanks a ton by the way
RR Remix Rom based on android 6 (MM) is good and stable for daily driver & we too have RR Remix Rom based on android 7.1 (Nougat) but it has some bugs. So you can give it a try. For me I'm getting good battery life on Nexus Rom so right now its my daily driver. But it depends upon one's preference if you want features and customization RR Remix is best but if you want Stock android with lag free performance and battery life AOSP based Roms are good. Do check out the links below.
RR Remix based on Android 7.1 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-0-t3507433
RR remix based on Android 6 (MM) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/official-t3399879
Best Of luck and do read and search about the Rom, flashing process etc before flashing to avoid error and trouble.
I just signed up here as recently bought a RN3. Looks like a good place to start, was thinking of trying a custom myself
Confused between RRemix or CM13. Anyone?

I have heard the CM13 being stable and many people using it as their daily driver.
was using MM RR 5.7.4 rom for a few months now but now i went back miui with xiaomi.eu rom. i missed a lot of useful features which arent there in RR. like the good gallery app, call recorder, recorder app, good camera app, scanner app and so on. if you dont care about those dann i can recommend 5.7.4 ... but i only got 6h SOT with tha rom. with MIUI without any problems i get 8-10h SOT

There is no best rom, lot of them are great and you can't really choose one that is best one of them. There are lots of people using AICP, NitrogenOS, RR, maybe AOSIP. You can check the most popular ones and see which one you like most and which performs best for you.

I am on latest rr 5.8.1. Torch toggle has been fixed. You can use google camera app or one plus camera app which run smooth, tho stock camera works fine for me.
I think I found a ROM for me the RR 5.8.0 cynogen based . I found it pretty smooth than the lineageos based one but the only problem I'm facing now is the VoLTE feature .I'm in dire need of that feature cause I'm using jio cellular network , and I tried some patches which didn't do the job. If anyone has a working patch or a cynogen based ROM with volte please direct me . thanks in advance again .and thank you for all the replies
Please view to know the exact version that I'm using ?

If you were to rate nitrogen OS, what would your review be?
I have been using Slim with Radon for quite a while now, and I have gotten an amazing experience.
Going to try Nitrogen soon, to see what the hype is all about!

Is it buggy?
aospextended
i have been using AospExtended from more than a month. very satisfied.
before that tried almost every rom but has issues. could not continued to use as daily driver.
also realised most of the lineage based roms are buggy and Aosp based are more stable.
no one can give you honest answer. try it for yourself.
i suggest AospExtended by AmolAmrit.
nitrogen is also very stable

only problem with slim rom (for me atleast) is that its very slim. not even the daily apps and some of the customization.
but i know thats why it is called as Slim Rom.

Can you please tell the procedure to flash Slim ROM, coming from MIUI 8 stable? There are many guides and I'm not sure which to follow. I don't want to lose imei and stuff. Can you please?
EDIT: Nevermind, flashed it
Unlock bootloader using the official method.
Install TWRP using the official guide on the TWRP website.
To do both of these, watch RootJunky's guide on YouTube.
After you have TWRP installed, put all these files on your phone or memory card. Use Firmware and Goodix Patch from Slim thread only. Use OpenGapps
Boot into TWRP and then make a full backup, then go into Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, wipe System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Then go to Install and install these files in this order.
The latest version of Radon Kernel for Nougat, in balanced setting, is recommended for best performance and battery.
- Flash*Firmware
- Flash*Slim 7
- Flash Gapps
- Flash*SuperSU
- Flash*Goodix Patch*(If you have goodix FP)
- Flash*Radon Kernel (Choose Goodix FP, and Balanced settings during installation)
- Reboot and wait for 5-10 minutes.

Best Oreo ROM Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x (Snapdragon)

Tried them all... The most stable (batery+performance) is Lineage OS15.

Extended or nightly? And which build?
Best oreo rom by far that I've used is not even on xda. It's alexey711 lineage extended. Smoothest running and has a ton of features. Bluetooth works great. Pretty much a perfect rom. It's on androidfilehost under his directory.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=256804
I've been thinking about giving it a shot on Cosmic. Reviews are great and all I need is a stock experience with stability (and gcam, lol).

Why don't you update it unofficially? Unlock bootloader and install a custom Rom :silly:

2nd place are Firehound

To install twrp
https://en.miui.com/thread-2032791-1-1.html
After installing TWRP just flash magisk zip. And you will get root.
And currently no pie RAM is stable enough as a daily driver. You can try AEX P. But if you want a completely stable daily driver then use this.

What is the best one of custom roms for mi a3

Hello brothers,
Can you please give me an advise ???
My device is mi a3 , What is the best one of custom roms thats give me many features more that stock rom and others custom roms.
Havoc OS and Evolution X.
According to my knowledge the best roms that have many customisation features for mi A3 would be Evolution X and Havoc OS.
But the development of Evolution X for mi A3 has been stopped I think and I had some issues while installing Havoc OS on my device

Why not use the stock Android 10 ROM? It's way stable than any custom ROMs. I'm using Android 10 stock ROM April build, rooted with magisk. I also installed Pix3lify and I installed EdExposed to use GravityBox.

What features are you looking for? I'm pretty sure GravityBox has them.
Stock ROMS are obviously way stable than any custom ROMS, it's a known fact. Besides fingerprint doesn't work properly on any custom ROMS and with the new Android 10 April build, fingerprint works very well and also works when the screen is off.

Will you get security updates when you install these plugs?
I tried miui.eu bitnet 11.2 beta is very pretty than stock rom and everything works very well, fingerprint is very speed than stock rom and the camera else.
