n00b question about MTK Global Rom - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys!
I'm getting tomorrow a Redmi Note 4 MTK version.
Because i'm not sure what firmware it'll have, I'm planning to install the global rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-309.html#455
Does it include the google services and apps? or I should flash gapps or something?
Thanks!

Amazing, thanks!
besides MIUI, does this device have different official roms? or this is the only one?

There's basically 4 official Roms, Global stable, Global Beta, China stable and China Beta. The Chinese roms are made for the Chinese market and so don't have Google apps installed, but the language can be set to English and Gapps can be side loaded.

Bro ,
1) YouTube search on how to unlock the bootloader . You have many videos to get you started .
2)Take a backup.
3) after unlocking the bootloader install Twrp .
4) flash the ROM and gapps .
5) Done
Go with mokee having really big devs support and most stable ROM yet other ones are xosp

Xiaomi.eu is based in the China Dev ROM, not in the global one, and there is a SIM card bug in the China one and that is the reason why xiaomi.eu have delayed the ROM release.

Redmi note 4 mtk nikel rom suggestion

Hi all, I'm going to clean my redmi note 4 mtk and I want to try something newer than android 6 and miui global stable 9.6.1.0.
Any suggestion? the smartphone is unlocked and rooted.
I doubt we'll ever see any working rom with Android newer than 6.0.1 but you can always try latest MIUI 10 from xiaomi.eu
I searched on xiaomi.eu but I find only HMNote5 rom, nothing with HMNote4 name

The stable version of MIUI 10 for HMNote4 wasn't released yet.
You can use the weekly (developer) build from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.10.11/
With this can I update as soon a build was published without loosing data?
I'm thinking to be up to date each installing each weekly until become stable
There are custom roms with Android 7 but i think they are not MIUI roms... AOSP or similar...
Me personally, prefer MIUI and i firmly stay with MIUI8...for me,best battery life. On MIUI9 is irritating that they placed adds all around (in file manager, cleaner, security etc).
And with 9.6.1.0 my battery lasted for maximum 14h and 4h of SOT... With 8.2.1.0 (on which i returned yesterday) it lasts for roughly 30h and 6,5-7h of SOT... I use both sim slots, am heavy user due to business number (push emails, calls, sms...), WiFi, mobile internet, GPS constantly on...
There are some AOSP roms with even better battery life,but as i said, i like and prefer MIUI ☺
P.S. and my phone is almost 2 years old [emoji123]

Many thanks
You tried others non MIUI rom, if I understood.
Any hint? Is it possible to downgrade from 9.6.1.0 to 8.2.1.0?

Sorry I didn't get you.
You want antutu bench score?
I had battery drain since 1 month ago but without MIUI update, I don't know why.
Was more than 1 year ago I made a fresh install so I decided to try beta MIUI 10 and seems no drain (not the best duration but no drain for sure)

It is, i downgraded it from 9.6.1.0 to 8.2.1.0 using MiFlash tool...but be carefull, there is a special MiFlash Tool version for MTK processors.
I found this version on some YouTube clip, the guy left download link in the description ☺
Yes, i tried non-MIUI roms as well,but i prefer MIUI ☺
As i saw,there is Android One for Xiaomi A1 available for Redmi Note 4,fully functional only some setups in camera not working (which is expected) so if you like,you can try that one as well ☺

Everything is the same but you only need to download and use ROM for your phone.

I'm downloading stuff linked in the video but you're saying that there is a dedicated version of MiFlash for mtk?

Hi:
The provided link seems to be for Snapdragon (MIDO), not for Mediatek (Nikel).
Do you know if there is a version for our device?

There are no custom ROMs for your device. Only those based on MIUI like xiaomi.eu
