It's a Snapdragon, aka Kenzo. Before everything else spend a couple of days reading first three subforums. Or else I suppose you will cry for help.
You should familiarize yourself with backup, unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP (which?), flashing ROM, and, finally, unbricking.
Have fun!

Hi
Whats up?
Bought the Redmi 3 Pro 3GB/32GB version.
After read a lot and especially the ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro thread
I read that the MIUI's rom is onerous the phone with so much bloatware apps(cleanmaster, antivrus, Micloud and so more).
So, what is the most stable rooted rom w/o bugs at the area? (Read that the CM13 still have some annoying bugs)
I'm totally noob at the beginning after buying a new device
Saw the MIUI 8 V6.7.7 -BUT- still prefer more "puerer" rom and ofcoarse - with the least Lags as possible.
Prefer a rom that comes rooted comes with twrp + gapps installed that keeps the great battery life of the RN3 PRO.
Is there a "tut's" for how to?
Thanks very much for your help
Been using nehz's CM 12.1 for weeks and it's been pretty stable, some small bugs but it's not that bad. Battery life is almost the same as MIUI, I get a 6.5 to 7 hours SOT.
I'm new to MIUI also have a Redmi 3 pro for two weeks now and I have to say I'm quite happy with MIUI so far. Im currently running the MIUI 8 spaceX rom which is rooted so any apps I don't want to use I have frozen or uninstalled using titanium backup. Before this I've always had some form of CyanogenMod on my older phones and thought that I'd have to flash cm again but so far I'm happy with MIUI

Thanks for your replays!
I always prefer a ROM without bloatware, that's why I think I would prefer the CM.
Is there a way to flash the ROM and and root it at the same process?
Thanks again.
There's no bloatware in the either of ManHiT's MIUI roms. Maybe 6 or 7 system apps that you won't want to use but these are easily uninstalled once you have root.

I second this. In SpaceX/Manh_IT bloatware should not be a problem. I've rooted and removed the ones that I do not use. Just make sure you NEVER remove the MI Account and Find Phone applications. IT WILL render your phone unuseful and needing to flash again.
Thanks very much for your help.
I got the MTK Helio X10 version.
I understood that this is a sub-model for the Chiniese market.
I plan to root it and in case i wont be satified with the MIUI, would flash some clean rom that would be as close to a stock android.
Is there any GLOBAL rom for this model?
Have a good weekend!

Redmi 3 is a model for the Chinese model, there is no submodel. You probably got a fake.

Hi,
This is what I ordered:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiao...7-16-0MP-TOUCH-ID---Silvery-White-362395.html
Are you sure that there is 1 global model?
Cuase, I read that there is 2 models with 2 different proccesors:
1) MTK chipsent (Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core Helio X10)
2) MSM chipsent (Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650)
So there is must be a defference with the roms for the 2 sus model's, arent?
Would love to be more clear about that.
Thanks!

You bought the REDMI 3 NOTE version. This forum is for REDMI 3 / PRO only. You can search here for help.

Yes, Redmi 3/pro uses the SD 616, 3S/X uses SD430.
That is the MTK Redmi Note 3

Sorry, my mistake when typing.
No matter if the forum is about NOTE 3 or NOTE 3 PRO. You bought a NOTE 3 version.
Here on this forum we talk about Redmi 3 / PRO not Redmi NOTE 3 / PRO.
You need ask for help on this forum.
Regards.
Thanks alot guys :highfive:
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.
I see many ROMs for Redmi Note 3 but I'm not sure if they would work for the Pro version and I don't want to flash the wrong ROM and brick my device.
hey, every roms for redmi note 3 "snapdragon" are for redmi note3 pro

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.

8. if my device is note 4x can use this stock rom? Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Global (http://en.miui.com/download-309.html#468)
9. if i have TWRP recovery and custom ROM installed can i use the process above (question 7 or 8) to restore it into stock rom?

1,2,3. Install AID64 app from Playstore and you will find what you need.
4. Google is your best friend:good:
5. Yes
6. Not sure but mostly a yes unless you have installed some custom recovery like twrp
7,8. Both are the same. Better to flash fastboot version instead of flashable zip. Use google to find the fastboot version rom
9. Yes but you need to modify the flashable zip before flashing or else you will end up with a locked bootloader. Those flashable zips have a script for locking bootloaders automatically.
10. Device gets tampered only if you mess around with its parts. To restore to stock using fastboot version rom ONLY. How to flash the rom? Once again google is your best friend.
Hope this helps. Good luck

Raheel

I'll help some questions since someone already answered all your questions.
1. There is 3 versions, Redmi Note 4 (MTK), Redmi Note 4x (SD 3/32 and MTK 4/64), Redmi Note 4 (Global) (All SD versions) (same as 4x just different bands for global market). Easy way, look at your box.
2. That easy, some apps will do, or you can look at your about devices. If octacore SD, decacore MTK
3. Yes, there are 3 different camera sensors, Sony IMX, Samsung s5k, Omnivision OV. You can see *#*#6484#*#* which one better? Idk, some people like the sony one.
4. For custom roms, FPC better.
Just remember the code name, If you have SD version the code name is "mido" and Mediatek "nikkel" so you wont cross flashing roms.

Hi
I ve been looking for samsung experience rom for long time but i couldnt find one. Recently samsung experience rom was ported for redmi note 5 pro and i was scrolling down my youtube home page and i found this video
This guy flashing samsung experience on redmi note 4 mido. Is it safe? Can i try this one? Is it made for redmi note 4 or its just redmi note 5 pro ported rom ? Please drop your reviews . If it can be tested on device let me know in comment section i really want to flash this rom on my mido device. Let me know if it is safe and also the detalied flashing process.
M currently on miui 10 suitable , bootloader unlocked nd device rooted. Redmi note 4 snapdragon.
Edit: i ve flashed samsung experience on redmi note 4 mido had bugs but after flashing patches it does well.
As both these phones share similar hardware , can I install redmi note 5 miui rom on rn4 or any way to mod rn5 miui so that it can work on rn4 ?

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:
https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/
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.
