Official CM13 SNAPSHOT 20160816 big issues on RN3SD - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I got no front facing camera nor fingerprint scanner and i haven't even gone deep. I wiped everything but sd card and otg, flashed the official snapshot rom from here http://get.cm/?device=kenzo, i tried with flashing gapps then without flashing gapps, same result, boots fine, no front facing camera nor fingerprint scanner, when i try to setup a pin for unlock it says force closes settings.

Did u flashed the cm13 firmware in the post 2 of xda link??

egarding the unavailability of the front facing camera, i didn't manage to solve it. Here's what i did step by step :
1. Downloaded the latest Fastboot Global ROM from en.miui for my phone
Downloaded the Mi Flash tool
Flashed the device with the option "Flash all"
Flashing went completely fine
Booting into miui 7 stable
2. Unlocking the Bootloader with Mi unlocker
The bootloader was unlocked with success.
3. *here i probably did a mistake* Flashing twrp 3.0.M4-0 ( found in post #2 ) with adb command promt which resulted in a success, at least in the cmd, as when i went to verify the twrp there was no such thing. Downloaded Flasher Toolkit v1.05 from this post http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-1-1.html and followed the instructions, going for option 4. Gone thru the whole setup, doing everything it asked me to do but flashing SuperSU, TWRP 3.0.2.2 was installed successfully. Then i went back to adb cmd and flashed the twrp in post #2 which again done with success.
4. Going to TWRP>Wipe>Factory reset. Putting the needed files to flash for the official cm13 snapshot, including the rom itself, gapps nano and cm firmware. I first flashed the CM Firmware, then the ROM and lastly the gapps. Oh, when i entered TWRP it also asked me to make system modifiable or something, usual stuff.
5. Booted into the CM13 ( what i noticed is that right after the MI logo the screen has flashed with a blue color for a fraction of a second then the CM logo appeared ). Apps were loading, finished the loading process and went into the setup. Everything fine, no errors, FP working, device is stable, no FCs, everything is fine but the front facing camera, which really doesn't want to work.
I also tried in the first rom i flashed which was the miui 7 global flashed thru fastboot to check if there was an hardware issue but the front facing camera worked well and sharp.
Please find a fix for this, it's really frustating to know you have a basic functionality not working and all the others to be fine. I'm trying to flash now the Resurrection ROM to see if there's any change. Wish me luck.

Sorry bro. You just got an unlucky device. You've got to give up on cm13. I know it's hard with MIUI sucking hard but what can you do? It may be solved one day but that won't be any time soon because the main developer doesn't have the same device as you.
No "fix" would solve the problem - there aren't any! But just try santosh's cm13 once. Maybe it will work? Who knows.

Santosh's works as i said, but Santosh's ROM got a different firmware and therefore you can't apply any custom Kernel over it, that's why i moved to the official. Atm i'm using the official, luckily i'm not addicted to selfies, but it's still a pity that it doesn't work. I'll still look forward for patches, maybe one patch will solve it, i've contacted already cyanogenmod and today im gonna do an adb log to send a ticket to the devs.
