Never flash a rom that isn't for your phone or you will very likely brick your phone
Android isn't like windows, you can't simply install the same version on every phone, each rom is only meant to run on a certain device with a specific configuration.
You can install pixel experience for rn4 mido version with Qualcomm cpu here:
https://download.pixelexperience.org/mido/
And TWRP from here:

Thanks for the reply
However I am not a newbie here , I have been tinkering with android devices , even with earlier mediatek based devices.
I have had my fair share of bootloops and stuff.
The only reason I asked this was that these both devices are literally same. Just different screen sizes(which doesn't matter much in software side of things).
They share same ram, rom, cpu etc.
Edit : Plan dropped
Just found out , theres no portrait mode on redmi note 5/ redmi 5 plus , whereas portrait mode on rn4 works perfectly on both cams.
Beta of rn4 is more like stable , however it is not the case with note 5/ redmi 5 plus.

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.

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.

Mi A1 stock rom port

Mi A1 Stock rom can it be flashed on redmi note 4 as both almost similar config except camera and battery?
No, the firmware is different, the binaries are different, the build.prop is different.
Having so many flavors of custom ROMs for the Redmi Note 4, why install a Google Android Stock ROM?
If you want the MIUI camera, wait until the device is out and someone will publish the app (I think Xiaomi will publish it on the Playstore as they did with the Calculator, makes more sense)

maybe they can port it then change the camera with the ported google cam
Even i am waiting for mi a1 rom to come out so we can try to port the miui camera to aosp roms. Existing aosp roms for redmi note 4 are good enough. Just need a better camera. And who knows if A1 has some other xiaomi features too. We'll have to wait for some days until a developer gets their hands on the device.
Good news
Developers ported Mi A1 rom to Mi 5X, i was wondering if
We can port or install it on Redmi Note 4.
Same Soc afterall, only different camera

It's literally just AOSP on the Mi A1.
Doesn't matter what chipset or cam, it's just AOSP in the end.
Might just go with Slim7 or any near vanilla ROM if you're that keen.

Can I flash a RN5 pro rom on RN5?

Hi devs, I have a redmi note 5 running MIUI 9.6.2 locked. I want to address this question to both official MIUI ROMs and custom ROMs: can I flash a rom for redmi note 5 Pro on the redmi note 5? Thanks.
Nope, you better don't. Note 5 pro Has SD 636 and regular Note 5 has SD 625. Similar but not the same.

any one of Whyred or Vince, if you use Vince it will show your device name as Redmi 5 Plus, instead of Redmi Note 5.
I am using Vince because i wanted to install Pixel Experience Rom and it was only available for Vince.

yes they are differnet device but you can install their rom into one another.
If you want your device to end in a bootloop, then yes, you can flash it.
Vince and Whyred are completely different devices. Vince has SD625 and single camera, Whyred has SD636 and dual camera. You simply can't install their roms onto each other. Please don't tell the people to do so or you'll be responsible for a lot of bricked devices.

Thanx a lot. That means that I can flash it on my curtana
Do Miatoll roms need twrp-unified-mauronofrio custom recovery to flash? or I can flash them with any custom recoveries like pitchblack
I mean, is the miatoll device tree embedded in the rom file or need an especiall custom recovery like that I said ?
No need of any special custom recovery u can use pitchblack recovery
Miatoll is the codename of unified branches of Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It means any ROMS and recovery for "Miatoll" should work across the four devices under it.
One curious query
Does it apply to poco m2 pro as well?

I already know that. but it looks like miui 12 is doing all the work for poco m2 pro. Nowadays other custom roms doesn't require much attention specially in the case of mi device. You see the developers eventually leaves the project.

I agree with u that miui 12 hv all things..but i think Devs are not leaving they are working on Android 11
To make it also MIATOLL from the start.. bcoz our device is probably going get the android 11 update from the 1st quarter of 2021 officially..

Anex cam is giving me doubts regarding quality and all, and the gapps support is also questionable. As most devs recommend pico gapps while myself personally think aroma is a better option than that. That way we can choose for ourselves. But those things are preincluded in miui roms which is beneficial for a certain amount of time. And to be honest miui is packing most of the customisations in it that substratum, rr and others do. It's getting even better. And more stable than custom roms. As they are official and guarantees all features and optimisations.
Does it also apply to the Redmi Note 9? I indeed see it listed for PixelExperience as 9S, 9 Pro, Pro Max and POCO M2 Pro. But not specifically for the 9.
Can anyone confirm?
Edit: I already got an answer in the PE chat. It is a whole different device.
miatoll = curtana + excalibur + joyeuse + gram

Not all.
Merlin is Redmi Note 9 and it is not "miatoll".
Merlin, does NOT shares the same kernel with Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It shares the same kernel of Redmi 10X 4G, Redmi 9 and Redmi POCO M2.

Lol Dude... Did you see i have mentioned "merlin" or standard Redmi Note 9 somewhere?
This thread is for the Pro and S models with Snapdragon devices. The standard note 9 doesn't have a Snapdragon and doesn't even belongs here. That will confuse people only.

Dude just be quiet. This isn't the thread for "Merlin"! That's why I named all the device which I meant. Everybody got it except you!
Also I'm not interested to discuss with smart alecks.

This confused me too... Curtana would be any device RN9s (global?) / RN9 Pro (indian?), correct?
... What devices are these: Excalibur, Joyeuse, Gram?
My device is the RN9s (global?)... I should use the procedures for the Curtana or Miatoll (all/anyone), correct?
Xiaomi POCO M2 Pro / Redmi Note 9S / Redmi Note 9 Pro / Redmi Note 9 Pro Max are miatoll. The procedure is the same for all these devices:
