Best Custom Rom For Redmi note 4? [Dec Update 17] - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Guys I am on miui 9 but I want to swap to a custom rom. So which will be the best custom rom for the device (Indian Variant) till the date (Dec 17)? Testers and devs please reply. I hope this will be a useful for new users too on XDA.

There are tons of Roms to choose from...
Currently I'm on LineageOS 15 unofficial build by @abhishek987, this just Rocks.
About nougat Roms? Yeah, there are already bunch of Nougat Roms.
Bugs?
NOMMUCH, but the flash color is yellow (just an FYI)

I think Oreo is not ready just yet.. I am on RR and I enjoy it a lot! Alexey provides unofficial build frequently, and they have absolutely no problem. Everything is great, and if you need customization, it is the way to go. If you want a near stock experience go for LineageOS, 14.1 or 15, tor choice.

I would like a LineageOS based rom. Then What will be your suggestions on L14 Based stable rom? And I am recently following your Index of The device. Thanx in adv mate @sachin n

Yeah I am a Big fan of RR. Is the RR 5.8.5 stable? Cause i saw on the thread saying that It is Final but status is still Testing So If you can suggest me any stable nougat version of RR with link then that will be so much helpful and bugs in short if there any. Thnx you man in adv. @ToRt1sher

Ii has been incredibly stable for me. I think 0 crash/ random restart since day 1! I am on the unofficial build, which does not have a dedicated thread. But half the post on that thread refer to the unofficial one. The only bad thing is that there are 2 different builds, each with different LED notification driver. If it doesn't behave properly you will have to flash the other one, but that's like, a ten minute business.

Is this the Rom's link you are talking about?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/mido/
Please confirm if. If it is not then kindly share the link @ToRt1sher

@sachin n which kernel do you use with Linos 15 , stock or somthing else

Stock only

I recommand los 14.1 It's very stable, lightweight and you can root it without losing ota function...everything is fine!

This is the official. It is certainly very good, but outdated by 2 months. Alexey just made a final build a few days ago..

These are the 2 builds, with different LED drivers. Try them out, pick the one that works with your specific device.

Crdroid and resurrection remix

All the ROMS are crap here.... some form of bugs are present.. If you want to live with it, use them. If you are going to use BHIM for online transactions then rooted phones are not supported. Better to use official MIUI rom which has most of the features.

@viewedit Did you try magisk hide or root cloak (xposed) to use bhim? works on my slim rom?

Resurrection remix vs lineage os

What are your opinions on resurrection remix vs lineage is at their current and future stages? I just received my mido from China and I would like to install a custom rom into it. I'm torn between lineage and resurrection. What makes lineage better than resurrection, as RR has much better customisation but I'm concerned about updates. Which is better in you opinion?
I'm looking for stability over customisations.
I had been using Cyanogenmod/Lineage on a Samsung S3 Mini and my current Moto G 4G. I found them to be similar in terms of stability and never encountered any deal-breaking bugs on both operating systems. Back when I started using Custom OSes on the little Samsung, I installed every single ROM update as soon as I could. That has changed, and I update every 1-3 months if there are no major issues. I prefer Resurrection Remix because of its better customization options and when my Redmi Note 4 arrives in what I hope to be 2 weeks' time, I'll install RR on that one as well.
On my RN3P ive been using RR for a long time. First marshmallow release and now the nougat release. What I experienced there is a faster bug fixing (camera nougat patch has been included way faster in official builds then on lineage) and a very active community on XDA.
Flashed my Mido yesterday with RR and I'm pretty happy with it. Camera shutter has a delay and video recording is kinda slow but beside of that everything works out of the box for me. I tried lineage several times but I miss so many functions which are only available on RR...
Is lineage updated more regularly? As there have barely been updates for RR since it's release for mido

Both will get updates, as dev said LineageOS going to be official once the kernel sources gets released, you know about RR, it's already Official.
rr is more flexible and complicated while lineage is stable
I installed today LineageOS latest version and now I find it has something missing like "no blue filtering" mode. In addition, After installing even today I got a pop saying to install latest update and went for this too but don't know why the downloading gets stopped suddenly after sometime. I noticed this to happen more than 5 time. Now I give up updating and considering to move to Remix.
I recommend RR
I used both of them. But I feel RR is more customizable, flexible, complicated & stable. I recommend to flash RR who want to mess up with all UI.
Came across this, thought I'd share my views. I bought this phone 2 days ago and am waiting for the bootloader to unlock thereafter once I'm done playing with the stock ROM, will promptly Install CrDroid.
I've had CrDroid on my Honor 5x & HTC one m8, never encountered any issues and found it to be very stable with all features working.
If I recall it's derived of both Lineage + RR and that's evident through the customisation it offers + stability - maybe you can give that a try?

Custom ROMs !

Hey all RN3 users <3
Now I'm leaving MIUI stock rom , they did not resolve any bug I report so I decided to go back to Custom Roms .. But every rom here I read replies all complain about issues " Core Issues " indeed .. So should I stick with official as you see it less buggy ! or there is a rom can do the job with no issues !
Thanks in advance mates.​
Mostly all nougat roms do a better job than miui . If a custom rom have issues, these will be fixed very quickly, not like the ones in miui, which takes months to devs to fix..
You can use Official Lineage OS, Nitrogen OS, AOSP Extended, AOSIP, there are more good roms to try, it depends only by your preferences and what you expect from that rom. If you want a lot of customizations and stability, you can go with AOSIP, i have it now and it`s very stable and smooth, but that does not mean that others are not as good..
So is it stable with no major issues ? or FC !
Almost all roms are stable with no major issues.
@Kollachi is AOSIP has the option to install fonts :$
I can recommend you to use ResurectionRemix based on android 7.1. This is 4th May 23:30 in my time zone, and I am using nighty build from 2nd May 2017, and have no issues. (except that facebook lite and messanger lite apps not getting notifications until I wake my phone. It can be because i played with battery saving settings. I tried the 3rd May build but fingerprint didn't work, and not tested 4th May build. In shis rom you have a lots of settings and customisations out of the box, and you have Magisk root out of the box, and full substratum support (you need just install it from Google Play). The battery life is as good as on MIUI, so for me it is the best but you should test and decide.
@kuba3351 Thats what I'm talking about , RR builds has many many bugs
LOS14.1 is basic, stable, not a lot of customizations.
AOSPEX, is really stable but sometimes get something like you have to flash the camera binaries for no reason at all, a lot of customizations too. (just came from that)
NOS, is really custom, but i only use it for like 3 hours (i like stock roms)
They're all good though.
Also if you use magisk and don't wanna any problems try to pick one with no inbuild root. (I got some issues with that)
Use RR its also stable and has customizations .i never got any bug ..
Thanks for reply bro , but RR Topic full of bugs !
I flashed AOSIP .. LIKE IT for now 5h xD
AOSPExt has solved camera problem long time ago best rom if you are not bothered about lte network signal
aosip have full oms support, so i think you can install fonts with it.. And among all nougat roms, i found aosip have most stable signal (is based on pure caf) and have a lot of customizations. I haven`t encountered any issue until now
Yes, there are bugs in RR, because it has only testing nighty builds appearing everyday. I don't know why it is not building stable version once a week or once a month, but it is possible to test and find a good build that don't have serious bugs, and you will get a very good rom. You can also use Lineage OS or AOSP because people telling you that these ROMS are stable. It is your decision. I will stay at 2nd May build of RR until June then try to test upcoming builds.
Another intresting thing is Salfosh OS, but it can't run android apps. Unfortunately developer's device was stolen, and development became very slow, because without a device, dev must often ask people for logcat, testing etc. So the rom is not stable enough for daily use, so didn't tested in, but if it will be, and run android apps, it can be the best rom.
@cristiandiaconu6 Yea I like it now its my Rom ^^ crashed one time while pressed system option many time at once
aha I heard about this rom , RR was my best rom for my old Galaxy S2 .. but with RN3 i faced many bugs for the first flash so I left it for good untill they release the stable one , AOSIP lokks good for me now
@milav I will give it a try soon (;
I used LineageOS 14 until with one nightly I was stuck at trebuchet loop, where nobody could help me to get rid of it. Then I tried NitrogenOS and after a few weeks I can say that ROM is really stable and can be used as a daily driver. The only problem I had was that AdAway was not gaining root from built-in root, so I unrooted it and installed SuperSU.
Tried NOS too , good performance but I got bug or two I do not remember so I left it down !
try xaiomi.eu roms global or developper ,all miui roms and miui depended custom roms are better than other custom roms especially AOSP roms

Onyx ROM : AOKP vs LineageOS

Hi,
As OnePlus is not updating anymore Onyx since last november I'm considering installing a custom rom.
For now my choices are on AOKP and Lineage OS.
I want something light but secure.
I don't need billions of features.
Does anyone has experienced both roms on Onyx and could give some feedbacks ?
Thanks a lot !
Regards,
Lineage is simply no go.
I think GZR are most stable ones.
There is a minimal feature build of jdc available on afh you can try that, imo it is the best nougat based rom for onyx at the moment(may change once pa hits the market).
Try Tesla from the thread here if you are looking fir stable 7.1.2 ROM

I will have a look at GZR.
I never heard about it before.
What's wrong about LineageOS ?
Big Update The King SultanXda Might support onyx.
So whenever his N based rom is out it will be the most stable and complete rom for onyx(he is the best dev out there).
I use XenonHD: fast and stable, ok for daily use, no bugs, tristate ok, updated near monthly. About 4h of SOT.
I red that there's network issues with most of N roms for Onyx.
Is it true and anyone has experienced it with GZR?
Sultan is great but...

I'd rather get Tutorials from Sultan than wait for him to develop OPX ROM - I appreciate he is just trying to survive like everyone else.
He's great but I have to be able to understand & do for myself. I can't afford ISP but would pay SultanXda to put out Tutorial Videos using OnePlus X as an example device, so I could learn from him.
Can't wait for anyone, its too dependent better to learn for myself & teach others so they can be independent too.
I went back to OOS 3.1.4 there are too many apps I don't use on it but I like OOS Style just wish I could remove unwanted google apps get security updates on it at least

Someone is going to cook a Sultans's lost within a few weeks.
You will have a basis if you want to work on it...
Hoops, here in fact !!
Anyone has tried aokp nougat nightlies? Are they stable enough to be used as daily driver?

Stable 100% bug-free AOSP Nougat ROM for Redmi note 3?

Hi, I'm sorry if this question is asked way too frequently, but the thing is, when I bought the Redmi Note 3 over a year ago, I had planned to install a near stock Android ROM. But after searching for a good ROM, I found that none of the AOSP ROMs back then supported VOLTE, which I absolutely require for Jio. Even now when I search for marshmallow ROMs, most of them either don't support VOLTE or have some other bugs like dual SIM not working which makes those ROMs unfit for daily use. Now that xposed for Nougat is out, I'm willing to try a Nougat AOSP ROM. Is there a stable 100% bug-free near stock Android Nougat ROM for redmi note 3? I would appreciate if people would recommend me a good ROM ONLY if they have personally tested & confirmed that the ROM is indeed 100% bug-free, VOLTE works & there aren't any battery drain issues. I don't want to flash a ROM, then find out it has bugs, then move back again to MiUI. If there is no such ROM, then I'll just continue using MiUI. Thanks.
Dude mention your requirements like stability is undefined but on an overall basis, you can try any of these Tested: Resurrection remix, Viper OS, AOSIP & Others: Citrus CAF, Nitrogen OS Nougat with a custom kernel like ElementalX or Radon. Check description for the site which contains everything you need.

I'll be checking out the site you mentioned, but my requirements are basically an AOSP ROM that is 100% bug free. Other than that, I would _PREFER_ a ROM that doesn't have way too many additional features(Resurrection Remix is one good example of a ROM having too many additional features). I would rather use Xposed for all the fancy features & not have it built into the ROM. It's pretty hard to find a ROM that doesn't have ANY kind of bugs or any battery drain issues so I would use any AOSP ROM that is completely bug free, I have no specific feature requirements.

Okay for your requirement try Slim , Citrus CAF , Lineage OS

IMO Customised Lineage OS by Umang96 is the most stable Rom. It has Radon kernal build in.

A decent Pie ROM for mido

Currently I am on DoTOS_2.5 (oreo)which is quite stable. Despite the release of Android Pie, I can't find any decent ROM without any bugs in end of the discussion. Most ROMs I've tried have bugs this and that. I've tried DoTOS_3.0, HavocOS_latest.
So, if you've got a decent pie rom, do share here. ::angel:

They all have bugs. MIUI, Custom ROM Oreo & Pie. It just depends on which bugs you can live with.
I flashed the latest official AOSiP Pie ROM a couple of days ago and I'm happy with it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../rom-android-source-illusion-project-t3929008
I like Havoc.
Try superior os.
I used pixel experience aosp 9th may update and resurrection remix latest version they both ran fine without any noticeable bugs.
If you a little bit more smoother rom then try pixel experience april update rom 20190403, this is the best pixel experience rom the one I personally use till date but it has a bug ie., screen pinning doesn't work, rest all runs fine.
So much Pie roms stable now. try check aryan kedare's updates
