Help me pick a ROM for my father - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

So my father has the note 4 and has been using it for years but it got really slow and MIUI is just laggy and i want to help him improve his experience so i want you guys to help me pickup a ROM for him with minimal bugs and I dont think he cares about customization .

There are many bug-free ROMs that I have used. They had absolutely no issues for me -
RR Oreo 6.0 Official
AEX 6.3 Pie Official

0

I can recommend LineageOS 17.1 by Aryan Kedare But the version with the 3.18 kernel and the underground kernel.
Use TWRP 3.3.1.0.

Edit:
Here is an excellent summary of "The Book of Mido" even with the corresponding links, it couldn't be better.

1) Try yourself to find the best ROM..
2) battery life is nearly identical for all roms i tried.. (AOSP Extended, Resurrection Remix, Lineage OS, AICP)

Custom Miui rom? Eh, there is no custom Miui roms I guess, you could try flashing Xiaomi.eu roms. That's all I know about mi roms.
Just flash an AOSP based rom, best for business
AFAIK, every custom ROMs / MIUI roms gives same battery life.
Good rom - criteria in post
Hi there. I finally got permission to unlock the bootloader in my xiaomi redmi note 4 global Version (snapdragon). Well, actually it's a device I'm Setting up for a friend.
I will try several roms for the Note 4 mido, but I Need some helpf from you to narrow the roms I'm going to try.
The criteria the roms should fullfill:
- Simple
- Stable
- good battery life
- fast/snappy
- good camera-app preinstalled
- good gps / navigation
- Fingerprint sensor working
- front sensor-Buttons working
- if possible, OTA updates
Would AOSP ext, Resurrection Remix and Lineage be a good choice, or are they instable/too Feature rich? What about AICP? What's the difference between slim7 and candy7? Would they be good? Thank you very much for any Input, really looking Forward working with this device and to get rid of miui...
cant unlock my yet, but you could you share which one worked best? thanks
Multirom.me
I tried XenonHD, Lineage and AOSP ext. so far, always the latest version. I love the simplicity of Xenon, and that it uses the Nova Launcher. Unfortunately, it bugs me that the soft-buttons on the front don't vibrate (yet). Lineage... I just tried it too short to judge it.
Resurrection was too complicated/feature rich for my taste.
Then I installed AOSP extended, and I really, really like it. It's really stable, it works, and it has all the daily-driver qualities that I need.
plz link to the extended rom if u can , thanks

[ROM] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 | Nougat 7.1.2 Unofficial Build for Kinzie !

Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.5) !
This is my second rom I'll be compiling more soon! As I promised that I'll be compiling it soon, it's ready now ! It's running on 7.1.2 Nougat on Dec 5, 2017 security patch.
If anyone can help me to build oreo vendor tree then it'll be awesome A friend made oreo device tree and kernel! So, it's time to bring some Oreo roms for Kinzie
What's Working?
Wifi
Camera
Bluetooth
NFC
All major stuffs!

Hey sweetie! Lot of thanks,you are trying to make oreo rom! Good work.
Thank you @Sweetie for letting us know that your friend has made the Oreo device tree and kernel!
Looking forward to your Oreo ROM!
Can't wait to run it on my Kinzie XT1580!
great job ,waiting for oreo rom
Works great! Android 8.1 based resurrection remix would be amazing though.
Awesome rom, bro!
I'm using it as my daily driver! Just need to get used to the different gestures cuz I used to shake/wave a lot my xt1580 for torch and camera. and the sim card is worling smoothly in my reteu variant!
greet job bro, thanks for your rom!
Everythng works fine
Been running this rom for some time now, and haven't noticed ANY issue yet. Just wanted to share some screenshots.
Battery life is also great. At least as much as jwchen's LineageOS build.
No Moto Display.It's a pity.
The others are very funny and excellent.
I'm writing this post because I'm impressed with this Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Nougat ROM for our Kinzie and it is really feature packed and really stable too! I don't know why but this ROM is so much smoother and less buggier as compared to the jwchen119's LineageOS. (Although I miss (a lot) the double twist for camera and chop chop for flashlight! )
Downside of this ROM is just the battery life. Everything else is better. Good enough as a daily driver. But you might need to find a power outlet frequently!
I only sometimes get audio statics from PowerAMP as I experienced a lot in the other ROM.
I have Magisk, Xposed and Substratum installed. Performance is good.
- Haven't test sim card cuz' currently this phone still my secondary device (unless the battery life can be improved! SOT 2.1 Hrs with heavy camera use, SOT 2.9 hours for normal usage.)
- Yet to test gaming performance because Kinzie battery life is really bad already.
@Sweetie!
Saw you updated the first post on this thread with " A friend made oreo device tree and kernel! So, it's time to bring some Oreo roms for Kinzie"! Can't wait to see Oreo Resurrection Remix for Kinzie! Or maybe ROMs (either battery priority, performance priority or both )
I am really thankful of you making so many great ROMs for Moto X Force users! Or else this device might only have 1 third party ROM to survive with! Now we've plenty of it! Thanks for extending the "lifespan" of our kinzie! Appreciate much! :victory:

I can give you oreo rom to use right now, but have few major bugs like Camera and Audio is not working at all. All credits goes to Jwchen119 <3 for his tree!
If some devs can help us in solving bugs then it'll be awesome.

I would really want to use your Oreo ROMs but not at the moment as I need to use the phone camera a lot right now (that's the reason I flash custom ROM cuz' the stock ROM camera was very slow when phone heats up!)
Please keep us posted with your new ROM! :good:
Hello Sweetie,
Thanks a lot for you job. Have you got some news for the oreo rom for kinzie ?
Bye
Hate to bump a somewhat old thread, but I just purchased one of these devices(off eBay for cheap, and ill know more when it arrives) and was wondering if you guys got the bugs on 8.0 dealt with yet, and if anyone can point me to a root method that works the best for this device??? I also want to know, are the heating up issues fixed in the android 7 custom rom, and if not, is there something I can do, like adding thermal paste or something, that will prevent heating up so much???
**edit** I bought the Turbo 2 which seems to not be able to unlock, but again, I'll know more when I get it... Hope I can use it on straight talk, or Visible Wireless...

Why there isn't any development with custom kernels for MIUI roms?

Hi friends and dear developers..
I've been in this community since many years. I've been using Sony phones and then xiaomi phones.
> I've always seen that there are most kernels developed only for Cyanogen(now Lineage) based ROMs.
I accept that Lineage based ROMS are much much better in terms of performance and fluidity, and I love many roms out there.
But I always see xiaomi users get back to MIUI one day or another, since it has it own advantages, especially looks.
So my real query is, why don't we concentrate atleast a little on kernels for MIUI roms as well??
So friends, kindly share your views and suggestions, so that developers might take a look into this.
Love you all for your valuable time and knowledge. :good::highfive:

MIUI is outdated most of us using XDA only use custom ROMs,take me for an example I used MIUI in my redmi 3s only initial 3~5 months after that when I heard xioami won't upgrade redmi 3s to nougat ,I switched to custom ROM since then I never gone back to MIUI ,heck I even forgot I'm using xiaomi device.
There is bunch of up-to-date Oreo custom ROMs available for our device,as for MIUI it only stuck in Android marshmallow with April 2017 security patch which is one year old.so do u really think developers should care about MIUI?if normal users don't want to use MIUI ,then why should developers waste their time to create kernel,which nobody gonna use? Besides kernel development for our device is generally not that great compared to santoni and other redmi devices,so yeah this my opinion on this matter,if in future xiaomi decided to upgrade all devices to up-to-date Android(which I doubt),I'm sure developers will create more kernels for MIUI,even then custom ROMs will always dominate.
As for themes,since you're not new here,you at least heard about substratum theme engine/OMS give it a try,it's better than MIUI theming.
If you really want to stick to MIUI (official or custom Marshmallow based) you can use PerXepted kernel by Nichcream : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/kernel-perxepted-16-aug-t3657329
It is excellent.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. And i totally agree with you buddy.. Except the fact that there are end users who still love MIUI (even though android version isn't updated and yes it sucks very much)..
And yes I have used substratum theme engine, its really great though

Yeah bro I have used it already.. It haven't been updated since long... And I hope it won't be updated anymore....
Because like SMR96 bro said, miui isn't updated (in terms of android version or security patch). Hence developers won't take much interest in updating kernel for an outdated ROM

It has been updated in january 2018, this is not so bad. The real problem is due to MIUI security patch level, april 2017 is not acceptable.
But sadly, nobody tried to add new security patch to MIUI.

First thing it's wrong section
custom ROM depends on users choice and usage and different people may have different views
if you look for best stability but limited customization opt for omni ROM or AOSP-E
If you looking for super customisations then go for CrDroid, Resurrection Remix, Havoc-OS etc
but if you looking for balanced one along with decent battery backup go for MiracleDroid
my recommendation CrDroid
daily driver ( must try) : MiracleDroid
I found that the latest AOSiP (Illusion Project) combined with Stormguard kernel gave me really excellent battery life, had lots of options and good performance.
I also really like Alexey711's LineageOS Extended. I don't think he posts here on XDA, but keeps his wares on AFH. He updates regularly and provides lots of good options.
Then lastly, I also love MIUI 10. I prefer Xiaomi.eu's version, but also really like Escobar1945's version (eagerly waiting for that update!).
In the end though, every single user has different needs and different usage patterns. Best thing is to try them all. Try different combinations of ROMs and kernels until you find one that works best for you.
For me is Android P

Question Have you guys tried the NezukoOS available for Redmi Note 10?

How can we install this ROM?
The download link for the ROM is below if anybody wants to try it:
Download Here
If anybody of you have tried it, I will be glad to hear some reviews and bug reports if there are any?
As long as it's uses the same tree of Zidan (Pixel experience) so it's has the same issues.
but I think on Nezuko for now has better battery backup.
and it's good to be for daily use. we won't expect a more stable roms for now we need some time which I believe not more than month. because there is a lot of testers and we have a good developers stuff.

Thanks for the update. I am satisfied with the Pixel Experience Rom. Few minor bugs are not much of a issue. And, we can certainly wait a month for something that is free and gives a new life to our phones.
How do I install NezukoOS though. Do I repeat the same steps like installing the Pixel Experience Rom?
Can I use Pixel Experience Recovery to install NezukoOS Rom?
Or flashing using the new TWRP build works?
There is a link to download ROM in the introductory contribution!
