DRM Widevine plugin fix for China stable/beta roms - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I'm using a redmi note 4x, SD version.
As I understand based on my usage of china and global stable/beta roms, there is no widevine support inbuilt in them. And due to that, netflix download is not available while using these roms. At the same time, the performance (smoothness, fluidity,etc.) is better than global roms (subjective opinion) and hence, I'm inclined to use them.
Is there any way that the DRM issue can be fixed in these roms? I have come across DRM plugins while researching on this problem, however, none worked on china roms. DRM plugin from some other forum did manage to activate netflix dowloads on a global rom that I was trying.
Xiaomi eu roms have everything working except for xposed which I require, so eu roms are not an option.

Which is better, global stable or global developer rom?

I have Note 3 PRO Snapdragon version with locked bootloader and I'm wondering which is better global stable or global developer rom? I already tried both, but I didn't saw a lot of difference (exept few bugs on developer rom). What do you think, which is better choice? Thank you!
Global stable is always preferred rom but i have experienced few auto rotation issues with latest stable rom so you can try chinese dev rom and see if it performs well
I must say i have had hard time installing google apps on chinese dev/stable roms
Everyone i got this error
"There's an error communicating with google servers" whenever i tried to log into my google account
Xiaomi.eu Global is the best
I'm on Global Dev since weeks and have no problems! Runs really smooth, good Battery Backup and official Updates every one or two weeks....
Google Apps are preinstalled and its MultiLang...
Global Dev is Good with Touch Assist aswell

Will RN3P (kenzo) officially get MM?

I've had a search around but there doesn't seem to be clear answers on this one, unless I missed something.
I know kenzo has beta MIUI 8 but it seems LP-based. Are there any plans for MM? I'm guessing it would be beneficial for custom ROMs since radios/drivers would be MM-based.
Being a newbie when it comes to this device means I've been wary of switching from stock-based ROMs due to the radio issues. I'm guessing the custom MM ROMs rely on unofficially patched files that cause issues returning to stock or switching ROMs. If someone could enlighten me on this I'd be grateful.
Also, how well supported are features like the IR blaster or Qualcomm audio on most ROMs?
this is what is keeping me from buying a rn3p, if its not getting official miui with mm im off to a Mi max.
If you want fast updates of of android use nexus or motorola. Xiaomi has a very very bad track record of updating android versions.
Yes it is highly probable that redmi note 3 snapdragon will get mm update but dont expect android updates after it because only flagships like mi3 mi4 mi5 get assured updates for latest os rest only get assured miui updates

Global developer Rom vs Chinese Developer Rom

Hi I will receive my Redmi note 3 pro prime... 32gb/3ram snap650 tomorrow.
There so many versions of this phone that looking at the Rom's it's quite confusing with all the have the different boot loader unlocking ( I will go with official - I got the SMS ), different processor variants, different FP sensor, support for quick charging etc.
Anyway I would like to start of with any of the official Rom's and maybe in September after my holiday move on to CM or other. Which version I should go to are there any difference in options between the two ( apart of lack of gapps).
Any advice on different ROM's would be great!
Thanks
Go for developer china it has more functions but i prefer CM because i dont like Miui and now there is support for the new sensor in CM from santosh

Can the chinese developer version be flashed on global version Redmi note 3 (SD 650)? Also shuld i flash back the global developer ROM to unlock the bootloader officially..(i got the SMS)
Basic difference that I found are
1) you can get music online
2) you have accelerated downloads(not sure how much accelerated though )
3) you can install font and all themes (best one imo.. there are some amazing themes that you can't install in global )
With all this said I would not go for China developer ROM actually.
I gave it a try and trust me there were tons of ads ..and then also you'd the problem of installing Google apps (like contact sync and all)..go for global dev ROM or Xiaomi.eu Roms ..I didn't try Xiaomi.ru roms personally but I read they are much better
EU roms are the best.
-based on china dev
-minimum Gapps, all chinese bloatware & MIUI bloatware removed
-optimized with various fixes and tweaks
-faster than global dev
-regularly updated
-working theme store.
don't bother flashing any kernels. stick to stock...variety of small bugs with custom kernels.
chines Rom have some more functions

Question DJI Mic compatibility

Hello all,
I am on TLFEUXM 14.0.8.0 and have some issues with the DJI Mic compatibility.
The DJI Mic has USB-C and is set to stereo. When I am in video mode (standard camera app com.android.camera 4.5.002440.0) in pro mode and the DJI Mic is NOT plugged in, the audio recorded is stereo. I can see the bars of the VU-meter move independently.
When I plug in the DJI Mic, the audio recoreded is mono, although the DJI Mic delivers stereo output.
I also tried a 3rd party camera, but the audio is mono.
The DJI Mic works flawlessly with a Xiaomi Mi10T Pro (Miui 13) and a Pixel 6 (Android 13).
According to Xiaomi customer support it is a software problem and that I should wait for an update
Maybe some one here has some more detailed insights, if it is a Miui 14 issue or and specific Xiaomi Android issue. Or maybe customer support does not know it better and it is a hardware issue after all?
Cheers

"According to Xiaomi customer support it is a software problem and that I should wait for an update"
Surely since the 14.0.8.0TLFEUXM is a Mi Pilot.
Hello,
thank you. What exactly does "Mi Pilot" mean?

Test roms(Mi pilot) made available for those who wish to test and normally this requires registration.
That's the theory but in reality Xiaomi updates them on the stable channels, same thing with the stable beta or public beta.
It started a few years ago and despite the protests issued by users who found themselves with bricks, today nothing has changed.
And sometimes with a Mi pilot you get stuck on it, update impossible.
Hello,
thank you. I was on 14.0.7.0 when I got the information I should wait for a new version. That is why i upped to 14.0.8.0.
So 14.0.8.0 is sort of a stable/beta/but not official version and chances are I won't be able to update to the upcoming official release? Is there a stock rom for the 12T Pro with MIUI 13?
cheers
toshidude
The latest stable is V14.0.7.0.TLFEUXM.
If the bootloader is not unlocked, you will not be able to downgrade or install another rom.
Hello,
wow! Youre fast I have already started the unlock me device bootloader thingie and if I am not mistaken

With the bootloader unlocked, I advise you to install a Xiaomi Eu rom, more options than stocks, play store certified.

But if you want to stay on a stock, install a global.
Hello,
thank you for your input. So if I install Xiaomi EU Rom and the DJI Mic still does not work 100% with the Mi 12T Pro then I can post that as a bug with the creators of this EU Rom?
Cheers
toshidude
Did you install a stable or Weekly?.
The xiaomi Eu rom is based on the stock rom and is not modified at this level, the bug comes from Xiaomi.
Hello,
i did not install anything, wait time for unlocking is not over yet.
As far a Xiaomi goes, customer support is not very helpful and I am a little torn wether to downgrade to MIUI 13 only to find out that it is a hardware issue after all
How can i find out if 14.0.8.0 TLFEUXM is out of "Mi Pilot" status and now official?
Thanks for your support.
Cheers

Try a Xiaomi EU weekly, the most advanced since based on CN firmware.
Either way, unlocking will erase your data.
Hello,
thanks for your advice I am fully aware of that And since I reset the phone to factory defaults twice in the last 2 weeks, all images/videos reside in a cloud solution and apps in use are reduced to a absolut minium.
Xiaomi EU weekly is based on the original 14.0.8.0 from Xiaomi, correct? So I assume the problem will still be present in the EU weekly. I think I use the weekend to make up my mind what to do.
Thank you so much for your input.
Cheers

Xiaomi EU weekly is based on the original 14.0.8.0 from Xiaomi, correct?
Nope,Stable not Weekly
Just update,no need format data.

Hello,
after doing a lot of reading weekly and stable forum I think I live with BLE bug and incompatibility with DJI Mic.
@NOSS8 Thank you for answering a lot of my questions I will post it here, when Xiaomi has fixed the DJI Mic incompatibility.

Question Base apps on China Version?

I am a Xiaomi EU user, however recently I have been interested in Realme brand phones.
My question is the following: the Xiaomi EU rom adapts the Chinese rom to work similar to the Global rom. Among its novelties it presents the Xiaomi call app which is very good and other apps of the brand , so I would like to know if Realme's China rom has its own base applications, different from the global ones (google apps) and also if they have any special functionality? Also know the same about the Themes app.
Thank you for your help.
