Best custom ROM for 2GB variant of RN 3 with Volte - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello Guys,
I am using stock ROM in my RN3 2GB RAM variant. It has always memory management problem due to less RAM. Suggest some good custom ROM with Volte for 2GB variant using less RAM for OS.

Nos

Me too want the same answer

Personally I had great success with Lineage OS 14 by The Strix. (Right now I have the 3 GB Kenzo model but I had the 2GB Kate model in the past that I used on CyanogenMod 13 also by The Strix and it worked flawlessly, until I broke the phone and couldn't find a replacement screen.) With LineageOS 14, the only major bug I had was 1 random reboot once during a call and I've been using it for about 1 month. It's also my work phone so I make and receive a lot of calls and it never crashed again. I could also get bluetooth audio, calls and everything to work fine.
I also tried NitrogenOS and ResurrectionRemix but had some problems with both ROMs. (Bluetooth audio wasn't working at all on one of them and I can't remember what was the other problems). However, I don't remember very well but it's possible I wasn't using the right firmware version for Nougat when I tried those 2 ROMs. That could be the reason why I had problems.

try AEX

Light CAF based roms do best
Aosp CAF or Screwd are excellent for RAM usage (add it radon or agni and enable 512mb zram ans lz4 and it's as great as 3gb Kenzo)

Get resurrection remix, if you want best performance among nougat roms. But I will suggest you to get oreo 8.1, since it gives better performance than overall nougat. Currently (05/01/18) resurrection remix is not available in oreo flavour but aoscp and aex 5.1 are actually worth giving a shot.
Here is a list of benchmarks, i made https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/benchmark-result-custom-roms-t3725767
And regarding kernel, only focusing on ram management, at least I haven't seen any difference between custom rom kernel, or any other custom kernel.
However you can use electra blue and stormguard.

Linux memory management is good enough. All kernels will be equally good. The real problems are your limited RAM and bloated MIUI.

A very light ROM - e.g., Slim.

Which ROM and Kernel is best for Kenzo 2GB Ram?

Hey.
I have been using LineageOS 14.1 based on Nougat with AGNi Kernel, but I still have some problems with app smoothness, randomly crashing and having a weird stutter in games (I have tried Cytus II and Pokémon GO and with both happens).
I think is because of the 2GB of RAM, but I want to know if this is normal to you or if you recommend another ROM or Kernel, preferable based on Nougat.
This is my only device so I use it daily, I want to keep it the most stable, but with no Android Marshmallow or lower.
Thanks!
Install EX Kernel manager and enable 1gb Zram
Same with me
I've tested plenty of custom rom for my 2gb ram kenzo and its turns out dissapointed me.
Now i think i've found the best rom for me and it's MIUI China Rom.
This rom is very smooth for me comparing to another roms i've tested. You just need to add a Google installer to make it perfect rom.
No need to flash custom kernel because the best kernel is the default for me :fingers-crossed:

Diff between ported miui and stock Nougat ?

Hey guys, Kenzo have many ported miui nougat roms but how in terms of battery and performance do they differ from stock nougat aka Lineage OS.
In terms of gaming and ram management are they any good ??

Stock nougat for kenzo means Miui official nougat which kenzo never received from xiaomi. :laugh:
Stock nougat in general term means AOSP nougat. Which is also called as stock android which google releases for public as open source.
Lineage OS is not stock. It is custom rom. It is derivative and based on stock android.
Coming to ur last question . yes los nougat is good and fully stable. But its not updated anymore.
everything is working.
But pie is also good and stable. Try latest AospExtended pie which is stable and all stuff is working. Try pubg on it and see.

I have used pie before ( many months back) but the battery drains quickly. So even minimal game playing seemed difficult to maintain if I am travelling.
Also video over lte didn't work then

It depends on health of battery. It may vary for u.
I m getting 5.5 hrs SOT.
I have used both stock as well as ported but i think there are not much difference but there is a little bit.
In stock rom like resurrection remix , lineage os , havock , pixel experience and etc have much good performance but their sound engine in both Oreo as well as pie are not good as compare to miui based rom (stock or ported) and the other things are best like latest os builds. Also camera performance is not better but in pie with Google camera the performance is awesome with portrait mood.
In ported rom Google pay
( tez ) app not working mainly in miui based ported rom. But their sound quality is best as miui use snapdragon plus audio engine.
Now i m using Revolution os which is customised rom of stock miui rom with working Google pay ( tez ) app and with best audio quality also better battery backup and best camera but it is in marshmallow but have all futures which is in naught like split screen etc.

Lol...dont be stupid.
First google and read meaning of Stock rom .
it is preinstalled on phone by OEM such as miui from xiaomi.
On Android One device we have stock android or AOSP which is preinstalled.
It has verified trusted signature. It is secured so all banking apps can work.
As far as sound quality is concerned. Now most of the latest kenzo pie rom like havoc, aex, bootlegger have already added Dirac sound support.
Didnt u enable Mi sound Enhancer in sound settings.?
It is as good as Miui sound.

I am using an unofficial lineage OS 14.1 with Dolby Atmos mod . But somehow the sound still lags behind that of miui.
This edition of lineage gets updated every month with secu patches.
Common problem with custom miui roms I have faced, is that wifi signal reception gets lower. Does not occur in pure android roms

Rom Suggestions

I have this spare S6 edge my wife left me after buying a new mobile, it's still in very good shape and I would like to use it essentially as a tablet (no sim card, wi-fi only); most important, I would like to use it as a spare token generator for my work and as a consequence I need these functionalities:
encryption
no root
camera working.
I'm tired of Samsung stock ROM and I would like to try something newer; so far I have tried official LineageOS 14.1, unofficial 15.1 and 16, nexus 9.0 and Ultimate Oreo (note 8 port). Among those roms, the only one suitable for me is LOS 14.1, all others have issues:
LOS 15.1 and 16 : no encryption; 16 does not have HWC and overall appears less smooth than all others
Nexus 9.0 : rather buggy and again no encryption
Ultimate Oreo: camera does not work when I need it.
LOS 14.1 is fully functional and pretty stable, but what I do not like about it is that is not as smooth as ultimate oreo (really impressive how smooth that is) and after all it is still Nougat as stock Samsung ROM.
My question is: do you have any suggestion of ROM I could try ? Should I go back to stock ROM and live happy with it ?
thanks

I currently use liquid remix oreo rom and is considering upgrading to a pie rom that is stable and smooth for 2/16 rn3 and I don't really like the android features of nougat despite its stability and smoothness it felt lacking for me.

Yeah I know about that pie rom but pie roms for the 2/16 variant are almost all laggy and I can't quite make up my mind to switch to pie roms and are just waiting for some confirmed smooth versions of pie roms.
I was using Nougat roms for a long time. Every time I tried another Pie roms it gets laggy beyond tolerable in a few days...
Aaaaand than I tried the good ol' lineage rom (unoffical tho). Its lineage 16.0 with Android 9 and Im already using it around a month. it runs like Nougat both in performance and battery life likewise. So I recommend this one (8.8.2019 Version):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/pie-lineage-16-0-2019-07-26-t3952145
P. S. Using OrangeFox recovery, not TWRP.
crDroid (it is based on Lineage OS but it has many customizations and optimizations)
Source: //sourceforge.net/projects/crdroid-kenzo/files/
I use it in my RN3Pro 2/16 and it works smoothly.
I'm using "Havoc-OS-v2.5-20190517-kenzo-Official" on 2/16
I feel this rom has the perfect combo of performance and stability. Also games like PUBG run lag free on default settings which I felt was a bit stuttery with other roms.

I installed liquid remix Oreo rom and it enter a boot loop help
best rom is nitrogen os version android 8.1
best all
I am using Havoc 3.n (Android 10) on my 2/16 Kenzo and it is the best yet. You need to allow several weeks for the os to learn your battery usage.
