[QUESTION] REDMI NOTE 3 EDITIONs CONFUSION - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Well i have question for every one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3431866 Kenzo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-t3350656 SD
I can see two different threads of Cyanogenmod 13 for redmi, one says its for Snapdragon Version and other says its for "KENZO"..
with reffrence to this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...napdragon-note-ensure-threads-titled-t3351620
It says snapdragon version is the "Kenzo" only... then why two separate threads for the same ROM..? Are both they seperate devices..? And now i have seen another codename "kate"..
Can anyone tell me.. how many editions are there of Remdi Note 3...? I just know 2 of them, MTK and SD version

1 MTK and 2 SD Versions!
MTK: codename hennessy
SD: codename kenzo
Special Edition: codename kate
To know what is your version, just check if your device comes with MM out of box and use some app like Antutu or open build.prop file with file explorer to check codename device.

Wondering if the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will get the Cyanogenmod 13?

Just as the title says . I dont mind the waiting to be honest but will it happen? I mean they have the qualcom variant so I hope they will bring out one for our note 3
I am there with you brother !
The phone is pretty awesome and I CM wil be available soon . Ever thought about making the ROM yourself?
count me in. It would be just super great to have CM on the Redmi Note 3!!!
Count me in on wishing this was available....

Any version of Cyanogenmod for the Redmi Note 3 would be great. Very disappointed in this phone. The reviews were - are - very complimentary, the hardware specs are really good, but for beyond-China buyers the software problems are a deal-breaker. The reviews didn't mention the threat of a locked bootloader...
http://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-locks-bootloader-on-recent-devices/
I've applied for bootloader unlock, but no word back from Xiaomi. Wish now I'd paid extra $100 for a ZUK Z1, Cyanogenmod out of the box.
There are multiple Custom Roms for the Redmi Note 3 available in the official MIUI forum.
All 5.1.1 Custom Roms:
CM 12.1:http://en.miui.com/thread-210418-1-1.html
MoKee: http://en.miui.com/thread-215319-1-1.html
BlissPop: http://en.miui.com/thread-214718-1-1.html
PAC-Man:http://en.miui.com/thread-214488-1-1.html
Resurrection Remix: http://en.miui.com/thread-215699-1-1.html
Flyme OS:http://en.miui.com/thread-213952-1-1.html
All 5.0.2 Custom Roms:
AOSP:http://en.miui.com/thread-210071-1-1.html
SphinX (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-207019-1-1.html
DEV Global Rom (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-214146-1-1.html
But because all the non Stock Roms are based on Redmi Note 2 Roms, the fingerprint sensor isn't working and 4G is only working on SIM slot 1. On SIM slot 2 only 2G is working.
With the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 model being available, im guessing getting CM13 running onto that will be a easier task?
What rom can supporting all sensor for Redmi Note 2?

Runnig any version of cyanogenmod will be a easier task, because Snapdragon processors are officially supported by the cyanogen team and MediaTek processors are not.

That is not necessarily true. Android One devices are supported - they are mediatek but their source code is released as they are google supported. So its more to do with source code than anything else.

Yeah you're right but I think in this case it will be a easier task because as I know MediaTek didn't published the kernel source code for the normal Redmi Note 3 (not sure). So creating/porting cm for Redmi Note 3 Pro will be easier because Qualcom publishes many of their kernel source codes.

[Q&A] [Newbie to RN3] Coming to Redmi Note 3 from Redmi 2 Prime

Hi, I am planning to buy the Redmi Note 3 silver (India). Would like to know a few things ---
1. Is the Indian version mostly found to be the SD (snapdragon) one, or the MTK (mediatek) one?
2. How is the development going on? Do we have any MM custom ROM/kernel combinations offering more than or around 8-9 hours of SOT? (with or without features like faux sound / dt2w / etc.)
3. I might sound like a total freeloader, I agree, but would request you to please direct me to a contact point if, for now, specific answers to questions above are unavailable.
Thanks a lot!

Okay.
1. Indian version is only snapdragon one.
2. Development is very fast and there are multiple of MM custom ROM around here like cm13 by @santhos M and another cm13 by @banmeifyouwant. You can see yourself the redmi note 3 section.

Which version has most support here on XDA?

So I'm buying this device but I'm note sure which version to get. As I understand these are the different versions:
Redmi note 3 pro special edition (also known as "Kate", supports more bands then Kenzo)
Redmi note 3 pro (also known as "Kenzo")
Then there is the SD and MTK editions and different ram sizes aswell.
I was thinking about buying Redmi note 3 pro special edition and I just wondered if the support for this device is different depending on which version you get?
Will all Snapdragon roms work on both Kate and Kenzo?

Kenzo/Kate has the most support.
Roms can be used interchangably on Kate and Kenzo. Only difference is in the modems afaik.

Alright, so the main difference will be that we have to flash different firmware/modem before flashing any roms? Does roms ever install modems aswell?

Yes.
Most ROMs do not contain firmware or modem.

Choosing ROM Redmi Note 4!!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to choose custom ROM for my redmi note 4 Snapdragon version. I have tried Resurrection Remix and Lineage OS in Mi 4i. But I want to know the stability of these roms in Redmi Note 4.
Also if you have tried AIX or other roms please specify how stable it is. Are there any official ROM giving OTA updates ?
Thanks
All of them is totally stable.
Afaik, RR doesn't provide OTA updates yet. I don't know about the others.

That's unified device tree for all Redmi Note 9 devices. 9S, Indian Pro, Global Pro (Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur)

Thanx a lot. That means that I can flash it on my curtana
Do Miatoll roms need twrp-unified-mauronofrio custom recovery to flash? or I can flash them with any custom recoveries like pitchblack
I mean, is the miatoll device tree embedded in the rom file or need an especiall custom recovery like that I said ?
No need of any special custom recovery u can use pitchblack recovery
Miatoll is the codename of unified branches of Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It means any ROMS and recovery for "Miatoll" should work across the four devices under it.
One curious query
Does it apply to poco m2 pro as well?

I already know that. but it looks like miui 12 is doing all the work for poco m2 pro. Nowadays other custom roms doesn't require much attention specially in the case of mi device. You see the developers eventually leaves the project.

I agree with u that miui 12 hv all things..but i think Devs are not leaving they are working on Android 11
To make it also MIATOLL from the start.. bcoz our device is probably going get the android 11 update from the 1st quarter of 2021 officially..

Anex cam is giving me doubts regarding quality and all, and the gapps support is also questionable. As most devs recommend pico gapps while myself personally think aroma is a better option than that. That way we can choose for ourselves. But those things are preincluded in miui roms which is beneficial for a certain amount of time. And to be honest miui is packing most of the customisations in it that substratum, rr and others do. It's getting even better. And more stable than custom roms. As they are official and guarantees all features and optimisations.
Does it also apply to the Redmi Note 9? I indeed see it listed for PixelExperience as 9S, 9 Pro, Pro Max and POCO M2 Pro. But not specifically for the 9.
Can anyone confirm?
Edit: I already got an answer in the PE chat. It is a whole different device.
miatoll = curtana + excalibur + joyeuse + gram

Not all.
Merlin is Redmi Note 9 and it is not "miatoll".
Merlin, does NOT shares the same kernel with Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It shares the same kernel of Redmi 10X 4G, Redmi 9 and Redmi POCO M2.

Lol Dude... Did you see i have mentioned "merlin" or standard Redmi Note 9 somewhere?
This thread is for the Pro and S models with Snapdragon devices. The standard note 9 doesn't have a Snapdragon and doesn't even belongs here. That will confuse people only.

This confused me too... Curtana would be any device RN9s (global?) / RN9 Pro (indian?), correct?
... What devices are these: Excalibur, Joyeuse, Gram?
My device is the RN9s (global?)... I should use the procedures for the Curtana or Miatoll (all/anyone), correct?
Xiaomi POCO M2 Pro / Redmi Note 9S / Redmi Note 9 Pro / Redmi Note 9 Pro Max are miatoll. The procedure is the same for all these devices:
