I have no idea, as I see ppl are complaining about missing features after installing a new custom kernel like fingerprint, camera, random reboot and etc. So, may advice just stay on stock kernel.

Stay on stock, especially if you have the goodix fingerprint reader. Or you roll back to 6.11.3, in which case, you have your choice of Radon/AGNI/Neon kernel. I am on Agni on 6.11.3 (i have the goodix fp) and I have no problems with anything, great performance and battery life. Neon is also good. Haven't used Radon in a while so I can't comment on that.

i have fpc and all works with any custom kernel i tried (guyver,agni,radon,neon). they all provide kernel for goodix fp too..so dont mislead ppl, because all works + you get dt2w, etc..

I'm now using Radon kernel on 6.12.1 . I used to use Agni kernel. Bothare good. Agni is almost updated thrice a week.

No, they do not. Perhaps since you don't have the goodix fingerprint reader, you aren't in the best position to speak about the situation. As I have a kenzo with goodix, I can tell you that I have tried all Neon and AGNi and neither of them have had goodix fp support since 6.11.10. The last version that worked was 6.11.3 with custom kernels. I have heard that there is a possiblity that they may work if the goodix blobs from 6.11.3 were installed after the custom kernel installed but I haven't done that yet.

No fingerprint scanner at all on any customer roms or kernels.

unlocked bootloader(unoffical) with cofface twrp. Tried numbers of nougat roms and marshmellow roms with different kernels. Have got the fingerprint option to show up but doesn't recognize a fingerprint being pressed on the sensor at all. not sure what the deal is. It worked before i unlocked and flashed.
On what rom were you before?
I was on Santosh's CM13 /w Radon Kernel as my daily driver then moved to AOSCP and have been using just AOSCP. Just want the fingerprint scanner to work.

Sounds like you have the goodix reader?
Did you flash the goodix N fix, then a supported kernel like agni?
I'm not sure which I have... How can I tell for sure? Also if I do have the goodix can you show me where to find these patches? I've searched and can't seem to track them down.

Most of the Nougat roms indicate the need to flash the patch for goodix, and then kernel as well if the built-in one doesn't support it.
Which ROM do you want to run? I have goodix and have tried Beanstalk, AOSCP, CM14 Strix version and they have all worked when i used the patch + agni kernel.
I'm using AOSCP now but I'm down to change to whatever as long as everything works and its relatively stable as this phone is my daily driver. AOSCP has been working fantastic with a few reboots here and there.

For MIUI8 - AGNI or RADON-Kernel?

Which Kernel is now better for my Kate on MIUI8 Dev: AGNI or Radon? I want to adjust audio-settings and a stable system with good batterie-life.
agni in my opinion, though if you are on a newer build than 6.11.3 and have the goodix fingerprint reader, you will lose the fingerprint reader access.
Radon for sure.
Stock
For goodix user u should stick to stock kernel otherwise u will have no working fingerprint.

I have installed agni on global stable 8.1.1.0 and both fingerprint and dt2w are working fine. While installing agni, it asks for fp type. I have Goodix.
Although I had to add the fingerprints again.

As mentioned earlier, I simply flashed agni kernel and it asked me the fp type at the time of installation. So I selected goodix.

8.1.1.0 isn't the same as running 6.xx.x or 7.x.x as 8.1.1.0 is a stable build, and the 6.xx.xx and 7.x.x builds dev builds. It's very weird the way Xiaomi is numbering their systems, creates confusion imo.

Need Suggestions

Hi friends,
First of all I would like to thank all the developers, testers and members of the forum. It is good to see that new roms, kernels are still being developed.
I just got a Note 3 few days back and I want to gain max from it in terms of balance/battery performance along with some customizations. Although I am familiar with the concept of rooting etc but in a simpler way. Like I have Nexus 7 2013 and there is a tool called Wugfresh NexusTool Kit. It does all things by itself and I just have to download roms or update the ToolKit.
I do not want to try many roms or kernels to find a right one for me. So consider this as a review suggestion for Rom+Kernel Combo. Now, What I need is :
1a. Volte must work,
1b. FP must work,
1c. Xposed Framework should work for greenify/adaway etc (preferred choice)
1d. Battery should not drain more than stock else no point flashing custom rom for me.
1e. Signal should be stable & wifi/hotspot work without problem as I use this device solely for WifiHotspot.
1f. Should be stable but I can adjust with less important bugs like Reading Light, Lite Mode setting etc. I dont need them.
1g. Feature rich.
1h. Rom should use least resources/ram etc and have no bloatwares.
So, kindly help me in finding a stable Rom+Kernel combo. My device is Kenzo(Snapdragon) with the latest stock MIUI 8.1.1.0 Rom and FP is FPC. Also, I do not have micro sd card so I can take back up of phone on the phone itself. I would also like to know about the process of successfully using f2fs format on Note 3. So friends, I am awaiting your kind suggestions.
Thank you.

If you want Xposed, you can't have Nougat, there's no Xposed for it. Radon kernel and the ROM I linked to is a good combination.
You can try RR Remix Rom + Radon kernel. Its a great combo with lots of feature, good battery life and stable for daily use. If you want Xposed than flash MM version of RR Remix Rom cause Nougat Rom does not support Xposed as of now.

Thanks but in Lineage OS 13(very good rom), people are still reporting bugs. I prefer a stable rom with almost no bugs.

Thanks, but which rom supports substratum and vulcan, if not RR Remix?
And which Recovery would be good, ZCX or Official TWRP 3.0.2.2?

Absolute SMALLEST Marshmallow ROM for Kenzo?

What's a Marshmallow ROM for Kenzo with the absolute smallest install footprint?
EDIT: I'm using an FPC Kenzo, if that helps. I also probably won't be using GApps.
I'm also searching an Marshmallow smooth stable rom with no bugs like goodix, torch, camera or headset microphone.

I'm using cardinalAOSP and it's very fast, smooth and stable. Also it's very light on ram.
It has only small bugs: systemUI reboots sometimes while watching YouTube + auto rotation gets stuck in YouTube (turning off the screen and back on again fixes this).

If u talk about small rom in a term of its size u probably get the least feature that ROM can give to you, as I know small ROM like; slimrom mm, lineageos mm, as well as nexus experience give what u want.

Absolute smallest of smallest is Slim or DU (dark unicorn) rom. Feel free to try.

I am still using Umang's Slim 6. And still didn't face any bugs....so I haven't moved to any other ROM. If I want to change to other MM based ROM, it would be lineage MM by gismo.
You can check the cm13 based builds here. They are built with Umang96's device tree and proprietary files. I have been using them for months with no issues whatsoever. No modifications are made to the source files. The manifests used to build the rom are modified to point to Umang's repos, that's all. Other than that the source files are untouched. Obviously you need goodix patch and custom kernel for all cm13 based roms if you have goodix fp. The reason is because goodix has not released the source code for their drivers.

If you were to rate nitrogen OS, what would your review be?
I have been using Slim with Radon for quite a while now, and I have gotten an amazing experience.
Going to try Nitrogen soon, to see what the hype is all about!

Is it buggy?
aospextended
i have been using AospExtended from more than a month. very satisfied.
before that tried almost every rom but has issues. could not continued to use as daily driver.
also realised most of the lineage based roms are buggy and Aosp based are more stable.
no one can give you honest answer. try it for yourself.
i suggest AospExtended by AmolAmrit.
nitrogen is also very stable

Can you please tell the procedure to flash Slim ROM, coming from MIUI 8 stable? There are many guides and I'm not sure which to follow. I don't want to lose imei and stuff. Can you please?
EDIT: Nevermind, flashed it
Unlock bootloader using the official method.
Install TWRP using the official guide on the TWRP website.
To do both of these, watch RootJunky's guide on YouTube.
After you have TWRP installed, put all these files on your phone or memory card. Use Firmware and Goodix Patch from Slim thread only. Use OpenGapps
Boot into TWRP and then make a full backup, then go into Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, wipe System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Then go to Install and install these files in this order.
The latest version of Radon Kernel for Nougat, in balanced setting, is recommended for best performance and battery.
- Flash*Firmware
- Flash*Slim 7
- Flash Gapps
- Flash*SuperSU
- Flash*Goodix Patch*(If you have goodix FP)
- Flash*Radon Kernel (Choose Goodix FP, and Balanced settings during installation)
- Reboot and wait for 5-10 minutes.
