ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

Due to the fact that some users run into issues when flashing ROMs for Redmi 3 to a Redmi 3 Pro and loose the antenna functionality (in my case due to lost IMEI) I open this thread to collect ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro.
From what you get delivered as stock via the OTA update to latest version as of now - 7.3.2.0 - works fine.
Other ROMs I didn't manage to get connected, even though I managed to let the IMEIs re-appear.

Hey man, I think I have the same problem. I tried to flash CM12.1 by nehz onto my pro, but the antenna isn't working.
How did you fix yours/get your imei to work?

Until now I didn't find a way apart from flashing pre-rooted ROM.

I tried different ROMs but none worked, so finally I flashed "Rom_Stock_Xiaomi_Redmi3_V7.1.1.0_Full_Unbrick_ManhIT.zip" which brought me back the IMEIs but not the functionality as this is for US-bands using CDMA. So I finally flashed to the latest ROM I got via OTA prior to testing and this was "ido_xhdpi_images_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_cn_63f5a9da5a.tgz" which gave me back the functionality as usual.

Since this phone was released only a month ago I think it'll take time for the community to grow and for us to have good developers

Good to hear that! I've just ordered the pro version and I'm gathering all the info I can. Can you please tell all the procedures you took to flash this ROM. Have you unlocked your bootloader as well?

---

Lots of guides around.
My bootloader is still locked, so you can flash this rooted ROM directly when you recieve the phone.

What about CM or Xposed? Thanks

Saw this ROM on AFH :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=64686
It's a TWRP flashable zip. Look's like it's a custom xiaomi.eu rom. Don't have more info. Only some info from updater-script and build.prop.
Code:
get_device_compatible("ido") == "OK" || abort("This package is for \"ido\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");

Don't know why there no link for the v6.5.26, since its on the title of the post.

Guys, any news about cm12 for Redmi 3 Pro? I have a Redmi 3 and installed cm12 it's very very fast, much more than Miui. So I only will update do Pro if I find a cm12 for it. Tks

Yes, it is based on the official xiaomi.eu rom. Don't know what exactly was customized.
Did you try the custom version ?
Yes, cm13 rom's have some annoying bugs.
Haven't seen a new build for quite some time now. Hopefully next builds will have some fixes, instead of new build with same bugs.

The OP mentions that it works for both. I am having a suspicion that this ROM is the same posted by [email protected]@[email protected]
Link for the vietnamese post: http://choimobile.vn/threads/locked...ong-can-unlock-booloader-co-tieng-viet.66360/
Link for the xiaomi.eu post: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-5-26-last-miui-7.31811/
Could anyone confirm this? I doubt that Rom cook has their own version. Even the change log seems similar. The only difference that I see is that on Rom cook the dev says that it has SuperSU and you don't have to unblock the bootloader. It might be his/hers contribution to the existing xiaomi.eu.
Also, [email protected] says that
We will not update stables MIUI 7 anymore and will focus on MIUI 8 weekly/stables only...
This is last MIUI 7 version..!

It looks promising with features that I recognize from CM. The community seems much more focused and concentrating their efforts in one direction. Not bad!
I personally wouldn't mind rolling one of these versions until a robust CM13 shows up -- frankly, it might never arrive .

Well I tried 2 ROMs based on the Xiaomi.EU ROM and can say that these have led to troubles in my case.
The phone locked the bootloader during flashing so no normal booting was possible until I again unlocked the BL.
May be this only relates to my hardware version as there are 5 different around marked 2015811, 2015815, 2015816, 2015817 and 2015818.
Mine is 2015817.
As of the higher battery consumption on these ROMs I went back to my old ROM.
