Mediatek dont release their code. so Lollipop is last update for rn3 mtk.
Redmi note 3 kenzo was released on android 5. Now its on android 9.

Much like every other MTK device, you're best to stick with official OS. Most custom ROMs will be semi-working at best.

Wondering if the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will get the Cyanogenmod 13?

Just as the title says . I dont mind the waiting to be honest but will it happen? I mean they have the qualcom variant so I hope they will bring out one for our note 3
I am there with you brother !
The phone is pretty awesome and I CM wil be available soon . Ever thought about making the ROM yourself?
count me in. It would be just super great to have CM on the Redmi Note 3!!!
Count me in on wishing this was available....

Any version of Cyanogenmod for the Redmi Note 3 would be great. Very disappointed in this phone. The reviews were - are - very complimentary, the hardware specs are really good, but for beyond-China buyers the software problems are a deal-breaker. The reviews didn't mention the threat of a locked bootloader...
http://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-locks-bootloader-on-recent-devices/
I've applied for bootloader unlock, but no word back from Xiaomi. Wish now I'd paid extra $100 for a ZUK Z1, Cyanogenmod out of the box.
There are multiple Custom Roms for the Redmi Note 3 available in the official MIUI forum.
All 5.1.1 Custom Roms:
CM 12.1:http://en.miui.com/thread-210418-1-1.html
MoKee: http://en.miui.com/thread-215319-1-1.html
BlissPop: http://en.miui.com/thread-214718-1-1.html
PAC-Man:http://en.miui.com/thread-214488-1-1.html
Resurrection Remix: http://en.miui.com/thread-215699-1-1.html
Flyme OS:http://en.miui.com/thread-213952-1-1.html
All 5.0.2 Custom Roms:
AOSP:http://en.miui.com/thread-210071-1-1.html
SphinX (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-207019-1-1.html
DEV Global Rom (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-214146-1-1.html
But because all the non Stock Roms are based on Redmi Note 2 Roms, the fingerprint sensor isn't working and 4G is only working on SIM slot 1. On SIM slot 2 only 2G is working.
With the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 model being available, im guessing getting CM13 running onto that will be a easier task?
What rom can supporting all sensor for Redmi Note 2?

Runnig any version of cyanogenmod will be a easier task, because Snapdragon processors are officially supported by the cyanogen team and MediaTek processors are not.

That is not necessarily true. Android One devices are supported - they are mediatek but their source code is released as they are google supported. So its more to do with source code than anything else.

Yeah you're right but I think in this case it will be a easier task because as I know MediaTek didn't published the kernel source code for the normal Redmi Note 3 (not sure). So creating/porting cm for Redmi Note 3 Pro will be easier because Qualcom publishes many of their kernel source codes.

Is MIUI8 a marshmallow update?

Is there any word if MIUI8 is a Marshmallow update for Redmi Note 3?
I'm really unsure, we saw an official china dev marshmallow V7 but it's still buggy , it means that Xiaomi is working on it but on the same time, i see this http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3627/2925/original.jpg saying that V8 will be 5.1, idk but i think that we can expect V8 to come very soon on 5.1 and then upgrade to 6.0 afterwards
Since mi max is sd 650 and launched with 6.0, shouldn't it be quite easy for Xiaomi to use almost the same rom on n3 pro?

Afaik i MIUI 8 WILL have Marshmellow, MIUI itself will support a lot of Devices reaching from Mi 2 up to Mi Max, Redmi Note 3 included (logicaly)
So i would say at least the Devices with some Performance, wich also includes the RN3 will have Marshmallow

Lenovo K5 Note Nougat/Oreo developments??

We Lenovo K5 Note users are stuck with Marshmallow in the age of Oreo. And searching the XDA didn't find a single ROM development dedicated to Lenovo K5 Note.
Even here people discussing and developing Lenovo K5 and K5 Plus but no mention for K5 Note.
Anyone out there working on a Lineage 14.1 or 15 projects or any other AOSP-like projects to bring Nougat or Oreo to this poor phone?
Or is it something like the development is impossible for K5 Note in this world?? :laugh:

Its mtk man there is no kernel source available to work so don't expect any rom to work easily
You shouldn't have bought a mtk phone instead you should have gone for Qualcomm

But its processor is quite good and it is able to tolerate further ROM updates. We surely deserve the lineage os15.0 oreo update. Don't you think?

Well actually kernel is not an issue here , roms can be made using prebuilt kernel also atleast the Android version your stock ROM has . The real issue is lack of devs so either one of you guys learn how to compile roms or just make a port ROM for your device but my recommendation stay on stock as there will not be any noticeable difference in performance or bb .

I have a keen interest in trying it out,
Can you guide me to right direction.
I have gone through a lot but it's scattered all over the place.
I m a c# developer, quite understand programming.
I would be using I7 processor, windows 10 , for the build

For compiling roms .
Idk any good threads for porting roms but it's fairly easy and If you will google it the 1st/2nd result will do the work . Ironically there is no need of programming required for compiling or porting roms so just get started .
Edit :- I couldn't confirm the thread you shared last time. In theory it should work

How did one plus 5T get miui 10 port on Oreo and not our device?

Can this be ported to our device? If not why?
I'm so mad right now
It's so unfair that non-Xiaomi device get MIUI10 Beta port...... and RN4 don't....
I though RN4 have best development comunity but I guess I'm wrong....

Best development or worst community and blame xioame also op5t get miui port from mi6 that is flagship from last year not midranger rn4
Truth is that none of the developers and only a few users actually care about MIUI. We all come to XDA to finally delete MIUI from our phones and install custom ROMs.
Our phone will eventually get MIUI 10 which will still be based on Nougat (Mido) or Marshmallow (Nikel). By the time that happens, we will probably have Android P Beta for our phone.
Why do you people actually still use MIUI?
I don't use miui. But a phone that isn't even from xiaomi got it on the latest android version. This is important
And who would use a beta with the following bugs:
Not let me remove core MIUI app and too many bloatware Chinese app.
Can not change stock browser with third one as default one.
Same with music or video.
Nova launcher not working as it should with some bugs having
Continues issues with WhatsApp app not receiving notifications on time.
No ambient display.

I am talking about how a phone that isn't even from xiaomi got miui 10 on Oreo, while RN4 would get it only on nougat although officially. If miui 10 can be ported on Oreo then it could be done
Those bugs are terrible, but that isnt what the question is for. Ambient display wouldn't matter for our phone though.

Xiaomi simply doesn't update the Android version once the phone is released. That's why people come here in the first place.
What do you guys actually miss about or like about MIUI?
My thought is why do you even care what version android you are on if you use miui? Miui no matter the android base is the same. Miui is not just a skin on android but a massive rework of the entire code giving android 5.x the same features as 8.x. Miui also keeps the android security patch fairly updated.
I live in the US and have used miui ported roms since 2013 on gingerbread devices. Miui has always had better features than stock android and never mattered if you had new or old devices new or old android version if you had 2.2.3 miui you had the same rom features as everyone using 2.2.3.
The best question. If developer can port miui10 , our phone can get any version of miui unofficially. If op5T can get unofficially, RN4x can get also . All in developers hands.

Because Android OS version matters, the os upgrade is not a skin upgrade. Miui skins contains features but it doesn't bring os level support from apps and security upgrades.
5T has MSM8998 and Mi6 has the same processor too.
Redmi Note 4(Qualcomm) has MSM8953.
Im working on an MIUI Oreo port from Redmi S2 but im very busy these days so its moving a bit slowly. Ive booted the leaked one from Redmi 5 Plus so i think i can boot the S2 one too.
I personally wanna wait Redmi 5 Plus to update
Ill probably not release it but who knows...

i feel pretty confident that xiaomi will give miui 10 based on oreo 8.1 . Look at all those **** tonne of xiaomi phones with snapdragon 625. Heck they launched redmi y2 (redmi s2) in india which has miui 10 on oreo 8.1 .So it's a pretty big chance that redmi note 4 will get official oreo, and even redmi 5 plus

The modded MIUI 10 for OnePlus which was posted here is based on Oreo 8.0.
And if Xiaomi updated their old phones with new Android versions, people would be less likely to buy new ones.
I'd love to see a MIUI 10 ported ROM on Oreo.

huh xiaomi's been using the sd 625 for abt 2.5 years now. idk how long they will keep using it. there's no point of upgrading a xiaomi to another xiaomi if u won't go for the higher segment.

Im already porting the Redmi S2 Firmware on our device XD. Did it recieved MIUI 10!? Where i can get it as i port V9.5.6.0 china stable.
I just have to compile now a Lineage 15.1 kernel with few flag changes to match MIUI requirements(Compile stuff as modules). Finding a non-treble source is difficult :b.
