Recommended ROM for me? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey! I'm tired of MIUI.
I have tons of Chinese apps I can't uninstall, some alarms won't work, a bug which redirects me to App Store instead of Play Store and blah blah blah
When I bought this phone a year ago I installed the stock rom, and tried the customs like CM and a few more that were avaliable
I haven't checked this in so much time, so I don't know what to do. My phone right now is with the stock ROM with the last update avaliable. I know a little about installing ROMs and things. I don't even have root right now
I once tried installing xposed but it bugged out. I'd like to download it just to try it. Is it stable now?
What should I try first? Thanks!!! I want something stable and without useless apps. Just the typical from Google.

[Q] FC Issue

i have the official 2.1 rom on my phone that i have deleted from it a lot of an unusable apps. and some time when i an in a progrem for some time it writes to me the FC of:com.htc.bgp and than it dont do nothing. i just dont like it. can somebody tell me what i did wrong, or, how to fix it?
thanks in advence
wow, thanks for all the replys, unfortunately non of them works.
thanks anyway.lol
Very few people here use official software. Chances are the programs you have installed are causing something in sense to crash. Try and replicate the problem consistently and you might be able to solve it. Failing that just re-install your software from scratch (i.e. downgrade to an old version of Android using a HTC RRU exe file from their website for your network. Then let that find the update to 2.1 and install that on a fresh system. Then start installing your own apps and customising settings.
thanks. but i need hebrew on the phone. but thanks for the reply

Dalet made HebVillain. Worth a look?
Also, stock isn't really the point in this forum for most people. Custom ROMs are the main ones used here, so few people know about the stock ones, as they're often slower, buggier and worse.

[Q] What ROM should I choose for my Streak 5?

I have an old streakdroid ROM atm and it sucks. Crashes all the time. I was looking at the wiki and a **** ton of ROM versions exist.
It seems from what I have read the the newer ROMs and versions of android actually run faster. Is this true?
What is the best ROM out now and what should I be concerned with? Will my device get banned from the Google Market? (Who cares I can update/install apps manually)
It has been a while since I have flashed. I downloaded the newest rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355878 but I do not see an update.pkg to update.
I know I should do a factory reset before reflashing but I have also heard that flashing from old versions causes problems.
Right now I am running 2.2.2 Android with the 2.6.32.9 DJ_Steve Kernel.
StreakDroid5 v1.9.4
I can put in the work but it seems some things have changed and I just want some direction before I spend the next week reading thread after thread to catch up to what is going on.
What ROM should I use with what mods?

You still have ALOT of reading to do, come back in a several days...
Most of us now are running a gingerbread variant but it has it bugs obviously so I'm begging with to not flash any of these until you have done a lot of reading so you won't be posting senseless threads on your problems... each ROM has it's issues very clearly in it's own threads by the devs so don't create a new thread with an old problem... I can't tell you which is the best because they are all pretty good, the best is up to you
I suggest [ROM] [INTL] [WIP] DSC v0.73
This is probably the best ROM out now. But you no longer update via an update.pkg - its been awhile You will need to install streakmod via fastboot then boot into streakmod to select your dsc.zip update. There are lots of details on how to do this on the DELL STREAK forum.
I wouldn't go with the just out cyogenmod ports - they are bugging and still a major work in progress.
Course this is my opinion but I have installed them all ...many times

cdzo72, i'm agree with you. really cannot tell which one is the best cause of all of them were in their own class and to compare among them is not a good thing to think of. As for the new user of streak like me, i think all of them were superb..:thumbup: ...!!!

[Q] please help! Gmail & HTC email!!!

the HTC email app and the Gmail are giving me problems.
when i open the Gmail app it begins to flicker and becomes unresponsive. the HTC email app just FCs every time i click what mail provider i'm going to use. also I've never tried to use the HTC email app until today because of Gmail acting up. my cache is cleared and I've never had any problem with any of the DERP themes until now. i had Tickle Pink but switched to DEEP PURPLE b/c i thought Tickle Pink was causing the problem.
please help me! i'm posting this here because of the theme & ROM(warm-deodex) i'm running on my phone. you can reply to me here or send me a PM. thank you in advance.
i also flashed the Rom again and it did nothing to fix the problem.
please help!
I'm assuming you are rooted? If so, either the rom itself or the themes could be to blame. What rom are you running/what rom did you re-flash? Did you flash the rom without the theme? Have you tried just flashing a stock rom?
of course i'm rooted . i have Warm TwoPointThree. most stock roms dont have good theme choices. i never had the issue with this ROM until yesterday.i have not done anything different.
yes i flashed the ROM first, i let it fully boot up & set up, and then flashed the theme. didnt work.

try doing the same thing but setting up the htc and gmail before you install the themes and see if they work.... i dont use that ROM but maybe there was an update even in the themes that may have caused an issue?
lol that's what i did with gmail when i had to flash it again...
i didnt bother with the mail app because i didnt think i would ever have to use it. now that i HAVE to it wont let me.
i'm running the updated theme, and i have the latest version of Warm, which was last updated in November.
do you have any other rom recommendations. also i have yet to upgrade to 2.17.651.5. i have CWM recovery is there a way for me to upgrade using that recovery?

for your sake id say flash the 2.17 RUU and let it install first to upgrade the software version....and no... you have to use that stock recovery for te upgrade... but do a backup and then the file recovery.img that is saved in the clockwork/backup folder is the CWM recovery and its easy to reflash through fastboot... then unlock and reinstall cwm again then reroot and then from there try to reinstall the rom.... i personally use different roms... i use boot manager pro and flash between the stock rom... CM9 ics version... and also steal 25 inbREDed 4.2 rom
that's gonna take a long while.
i've been wanting to switch from CWM to TWRP. are there any links you can recommend to help through the transition?
i like steal 25 inbREDed 4.2 rom it's just too dark for me.
uuum
i found this

Having the same issue with Gmail flickering. It's also been reported here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...on-keeps-trying-reload-screen-flickering.html
Apparently this issue is brand new and is affecting people across different kinds of phones.
I'm running Meanrom 2.7 with Anthrax RLS58 stable. Been running it for a couple of hours, no issues with gmail until about 10 minutes ago, and then it started flickering. We'll probably just have to wait for an update to fix it. Can any coders tinker around with it and come up with an idea as to why this is suddenly happening?
damn!!!
the HTC email client isn't working for me either. never had to use it until today and EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN IT.... IT FCs on me!

Hi, I saw your post in our theme thread too, but figured I would breifly respond here (please keep future theme discussion in our themes thread )
PLEASE provide a logcat of the FC in our theme thread, I will do what I can to fix it. It's ONLY on deep purple correct? You said it worked ok with pink?
...
/goes back to theme thread for your response and LOGCAT

Hey just an idea go ahead and flash your rom and then your theme like normal. Then flash gapps in theory you will be flashing the basic Google apps like email and play store unthemed versions over the themed ones. Seems to be an adequate solution for now. Hope it helps

[Q] ROM with standard camera?

I am completetly new in this with rooting and everything but I thought I would take a shot at it. Now, practically my only need is for the standard camera app to remain, the samsung regular one. What types of ROMs have that built in? I know that the CM10 does not have it, or is there a way to sideload it?
Only Samsung ROMs have the stock Samsung camera app, it'll never work on anything else. If you like the look of pure Google though your best bet is chamelion rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847600) however its only android v 4.0.4 (edit its beta 4.1.2). Its stock Samsung but has aokp features
Hmm, I was rather hoping that the CM10 would work. Then I have a second question. Can I root the standard rom I have and add tweaks, mods, remove useless apps etc?

Yes. Flash Siyah kernel, and search (or try for yourself) for extra settings in Stweaks you can use. To remove apps you can use Titanium Back up.

Hmm. Well that seems quite good. In what steps do I root and apply the kernel and what is this CWM that everyone is talking about. And everyone suggest that you back up everything with Titanium. Can I do that even without being rooted?

First read the threads/stickies here and find out the answers to these questions for yourself. Already asked a million times.
And no, you can't use TB without root.

So what programs are best to use to backup before the whole rooting thing?

I actually don't think there is any app that workes like TB. If there is (which I doubt), I wouldn't know as I always use TB.
But why would you want such a 'serious' back up if you're not going to flash new roms?
Sent from the Matrix
As I said I'm completely new on this and I've read a few threads and articles about it. I don't know what things will wipe my phone and what won't. I'm still deciding between getting CM10 or SlimBean and use another camera app from Android Market or if I just root the phone...
I will need to compare ProCapture and the Stock Camera app firstly and then decide I think.

Especially then it's important you search and read a bit more, so you understand what you are doing.
Why not root your phone and flash a Samsung based rom? In that case you have your stock camera, and you can add a lot of tweaks, mods etc. to your phone.
Sent from the Matrix
This will help you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw_za0mQorw) Also the rom I linked to (chameleon) the 4.1.2 will have cyanogenmod features, built on stock Samsung base.

[Q]Magisk support for S5??

Hey all, I've been having a lot of fun playing pokemon go but recently the newest version of the game has blocked users who have rooted phones, there's a hack called magisk that will allow the root to be toggled off while the game is being played and then back on when it is not. I am having no luck installing it though.
Has anyone else tried and succeeded to run this mod?
I'm running OL1 (5.1.1), stock rom.
Thanks!

I'm running it now. Although I've read that it can be done without doing a full Factory Reset, per the instructions, I wasn't able to make it work. There's a tutorial from Android Police that explains everything and provides links to the various files needed. Google search "magisk Pokemon go". You'll see the link. It's not too complicated of a process but make sure you have everything backed up.

I also have had no luck installing it. I have a sm-g900h on marshallow 6.0.1 and I've tried 5 times on doing it, but it still won't work. I've looked for a week for different drivers and archives to do it but I can't find any that work.
I'd really like help because I'm a total newbie in this and I don't know what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all that sounded pretty much like everything else. I've tried nearly every combination of flashing files, unrooting, leaving root. When I unroot I cannot boot to the OS, I was able to play the newer version when I unrooted but I don't think I'm going to do that. Guess I'll just play the old one as long as I can before the force the update and then maybe stop playing :-/

Yeah, I considered upgrading to Marshmallow because I've seen videos of it working for an S7 edge running Marshmallow and thought that Magisk may have had better support with 6.0. I really hope I don't need to get an S7 to get the game to work while rooted...The S5 is still a much better featured phone IMHO and I'm going to use it until it doesn't work anymore because it's so rock solid.
I already solved the problem I had installing it.
Turns out I was replacing the compatible version of super su that comes in the .zip without noticing.
It was all because I didn't read the instructions provided and let TWRP install the super su before rebooting.
I just didn't let TRWP install super su and it worked like a charm.

And this is on Marshmallow or Lollipop? I'm going to try updating to MM and then trying the magisk stuff again, maybe that's the key.
