Moving from old phone to RN2 and getting rid of bloatware how? - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
So I just got a RN2 from a local shop that brings in the RN2 here.
So I'm moving from an Zenfone 5 to this. How to best move my data like SMS and call logs and app data?
Also I see that there's a few bloatware that I can't remove like CM Cleaner or something like that. How to remove those apps?
I also read a bit before hand and it seems like sMIUI is easiest to have clean ROM and quite stable. Should I just do that to make sure no malware and such?
Dunno if this helps, but I'll just list this here just in case:
model number: redmi note 2
android version: 5.0.2 LRX22G
MIUI version: 6.7.10.0(LHMCNCH)|Stable
kernel version: 3.10.61+70948e9b-b583f-52eea33f
build number: LRX22G
Thanks.

Install a rom from xiaomi.eu or a smiui. You'll get rid from bloatware.
For the data it depends to your old phone. Has it got root permissions?

Ok, so install titanium backup on your old phone and do a backup. Then restore it (using titanium backup) on the Redmi Note 2. Remember to install the xiaomi.eu rom (the weekly).

Use smiui is also as good as a weekly rom from xiaomi.eu, right?

My supplier says Miui6 or should i go Miui7

Just received my phone and it has Miui 6 installed on it, Miui version 66.66.77.00(LHMCNCF) I queried it with my Chinese supplier his reply was ……
We flashed the phone to Miui 6. Because Miui 7 is not stable now. Pls don't update to Miui7.
He supplied this link to download the above rom in case I lost it off my phone: http://www.miui.com/download-290.html#430, but this link does not mention the above version.
Should I stick with his advice or is there a reasonably stable Miui 7 version out there.??
I am running the china dev rom miui 7. It performs far better than miui 6. Btw, my phone came with exactly the same rom as you. It is filled with bloatware and some functions dont work. I suggest you flash to the stable miui 6 or go for beta miui 7. Either way, you will be in a much better position that you are now.

Thanks for the reply, did not have much bloatware so guess the supplier took it off before he shipped the phone, tried the apex launcher with this rom and it has various problems so gone back to the rom launcher, i guess you mean one of the roms from this web page, http://en.miui.com/download-218.html.

LineageOS not working on Redmi Note 4x?

Hello everyone, I'm new and this is my post (tho it's not new for me to mod my phone, have been doing it since Gnexus time and loved that phone until it died.)
Coming to the topic of the post, I've been trying to install the LineageOS to my redmi note 4x, but when I try to do that the TWRP locks me out with error 7 and doesn't let me go forward. Any suggestions? I've heard that the 4 SD and 4x are basically the same but with different LTE bands, so I have no clue on what is wrong.
i had the same error code when installing a rom on my apollo lite.
Please try the following:
start phone in recovery mode (twrp), go to Mount and uncheck "system"
optional: do a factory reset and
install the rom
I hope it helps you.
Greetings,
lymbra

Thank you for the reply. System in "Mount" was already unchecked, thought the factory reset before flashing the rom apparently did the trick, as I'm seeing the boot animation of LineageOS right now. I'll post furthemore if I need anymore help.

Yeah sure, I've got the lineage os since my last post here and it's been working fine. Network is a little bumpy but it's still unofficial so I'll take it.

So basically you can flash ROMs for Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon) to any Redmi Note 4X (are the same devices?) ?
PS: Thank you for quick answer!

Yeah, basically the 4x is a redmi note 4 SD but with more bands unlocked. In fact, the global miui for the redmi note 4 SD goes without a hitch on the 4x

New camera features

Hello,I just got my redmi note 4 mtk and was wondering if there was a way of editing some lines in system files to get tilt shift and fish eye for redmi note 4 mtk? Thanks in advance
Actually you don't need to do that, just installing some third-party camera apps, most of them have these additional features.

Yes, it's for mediatek varient.
It's a bit tricky to find the links 'cause it's a Russian ROM.
The official page it's: miuipro.by
This is the link of the last version they are gonna support of MIUI 8. Until our device gets MIUI 9 there would be a new version of the ROM. https://miuipro.by/obnovleniya-miuipro-7-8-24-opublikovanyi/
By the end of the page there is a picture of a orange cloud, Clic it and it will reach you to Drive. Look for the nikel version.

Big thanks to you I only had one little "bug" (i guess) . I read you had to wipe system,data,cache and dalvik,and I had cofface twrp.I tried to wipe all of those,and data cache and dalvik did wipe but i couldnt wipe system,so I installed zcx team twrp,and I wiped all of those,installed rom,but when I booted I didnt get setup screen,I got to my old homescreen.I have all the features of the miui pro rom but it didnt wipe any of my files,my apps,or my password,saved wifis and all that ****.Weird lel

Could you please send me an apk of your camera app (my rom didn't come with one so I'm surviving on a crappy one I found on xda) you can use an app like apk extractor off of Google play to get the apk.
Thanks :good:

I know it is in beta stage so it has bugs, but do you think it can be used as a daily driver rom?
any screen shots, how performs, any major bugs, overall experience.

Been using it for like 2-3 hours,working pretty solid till now without encountering any bug. Battery is a little off compared to xiaomi.eu but I guess maybe because it is the first charge cycle. I haven't done any gaming yet,so not sure about the heating situation. Camera also works fine.
so in short,Yes it is usable as a daily driver.
Based on the file name it's still Oreo 8.0 based right?

Before installing by twrp, disable device search and close your xiaomi account in the mobile, then restart in twrp and make full wipes included internal memory and format data, restart again in twrp and install

No.
That's for phones that support bokeh mode by default.
Installed last night, all went smooth. The performance is stellar and every is working fine. Only issue I had was that somehow my TWRP recovery was overwritten by Xiaomi recovery.
Oh btw you don't need any Google installer APK you can just download the installer from the included Mi app store.
I will test out the rom today but I think I will restore my Lineage backup till the EU version is out....... the rom is great but there is way to much Chinese bloatware [emoji6]

I'm 100% agreeing with you, but keep in mind that all the official MIUI ROMs are overwritting the recovery

Interesting haha . Normally it should've flashed you the MI Recovery. Are you using the official TWRP?

That is what official MIUI does ...
Always have a backup of your stuff not in the phone.
I do not use the official twrp, I use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-2/development/twrpscorpio3-2-1-1tools-6blue-t3798956
So that there are no problems if you are in MIUI make a backup and before putting the rom deactivate from the mobile the device search and the account of xiaomi
once done reboot in twrp and make full wipes internal memory included and format data (if it gives montage error restart twrp again and perform again full wipes and format data) restart in twrp again and install, should not give you any problem with encryption
I do it like that and have never given me problems
and I do not overwrite the twrp either

Yeh might be but i never installed official MIUI ROMs before this one. Anyway took me 30 sec to hook up ADB and then Fastboot flash TWRP back. I rooted with Magisk and now all is perfect might even stay on this if i can tweak a few things to my liking.
