ROM recommendation - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello, I'm trying to setup an old Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 MTK for gaming.
It's the first xiaomi I change ROMs on.
I would like to know if anyone have any recommendation of the better or most update ROM for this purpose. Pokemon Go will be used in this phone, so it would have to pass safety net and not be rooted.
If possible it would be great to have gapps already installed, and to be multilanguage, but not really a problem as long as it has english.
Anyone of you experts has any recommendation? I have already unlocked bootloader and install twrp (not sure this is working though, when trying to wipe or install ROM I get an error saying /oem partition cannot be mounted, altough ROM is installed)
Thank you very much

Hello @Nanoemp,
if u r fan of miui :
1. multirom.me
2. Xiaomi.eu
otherwise:
For gaming and stability :
1. PureNexus by Jhenrique
2. Dirty Unicorns by poad
For battery :
1. AOSIP 5.9
2. Carbon
Hope that help.
P.S. -- I am by no means an expert.And you have to flash Gapps in all ROMS except miui ones.

Yes! Super, thanks

Can we expect a nougat based MIUI ROM for Kenzo ? Atleast Chinese Dev ROM for that matter.

It's showing features count which will help us to choose the rom which got more customisation ability.

This one.

Are you guys trying to brick his phone? He's using the MTK variant and you guys are suggesting him Snapdragon variant roms.

have you tried the one from demon? Demon seems updating the rom while jhenrique does not update his rom anymore

I see you're on MTK... There's nothing much you can choose from, go with Lineage.

If you are updating through MIUI 6 and already have gapps then Gapps remain there, but If you are Flashing this Rom freshly then you have to flash gapps.

So MIUI 7 is either KitKat or Lollipop depending on the Xiaomi device in question ?

Thats sounds crazy and not quite right.
I think k they won't be giving lollilop to our devices
I once saw a moderator on miui.com being asked why there is still no lollipop for cancro, and he answered that they are afraid of bricking devices if they extend the partitions (because miui lollipop on cancro needs extended partition)

Ha! It'd be really interesting to know just how many cancro users switch between ROMs on system1 and system2 with any frequency.
My guess is that if you are interested in using different ROMs you definitely have enough curiosity to want to use Lollipop - in which case virtually everyone will need to scrap the system2 partition.
So due to a really bad design decision at the beginning, and to "support" their users... they need to keep the 2 system partitions, hence no Lollipop.
Just as well xda exists...
It seems the best option is to move from miui to another ROM, it's a shame, I really like miui
I am waiting for the Global Launch I am on global dev beta team and man it sucks ! No root like the china dev ROM no transparent status bar !

Which is the best rom for RN3?

I am new to flashing custom roms and have recently flashed Lineage OS.

Don't flash any custom kernels on NOS. The stock kernel has all the features. I get around 9 hours of SOT on WiFi only and around 7.5 hours of SOT on LTE. Remember not to flash any custom kernels as it messes with NOS.

Best Oreo 8.1 rom

Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Xposed for oreo has just been released so Im ready to flash oreo again but I wanted to know which is the best oreo 8.1 roms in terms of smoothness and battery life and what is the best kernel*(battery) for oreo 8.1
ABC ROM found in Android file host but not posted here
.https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620775924
Nitrogen OS is very smoothles after pixel experience, because PE lag for me
And most ROM have same battery life
im on AICP, it run smoothy and i'm not found any bug as far as, and customization is good enough
Aoscp, aosp extended are the way to go.

No, man
I think you need to try one by one to find out your needs and matches.
Everyone has their own character.
So, try it ...
And stay.
Happy flashing, good luck.
I've tried all Oreo ROMs available for mido till date but most of them have deep sleep issue where the CPU doesn't go to deep sleep. If this isn't a major issue for you then you can flash any Oreo ROM. All of them are good. However, if you want moar customisation then go for Cosmic OS, AICP or Nitrogen OS. But if you like pure stock experience then go for AOSCP or PixelExperience ROM
- Hope It Helped

Anyone going to build LineageOS 17.1 ROM for A205xx ?

I am a sucker when it comes to AOSP and would love to have atleast one fully working AOSP ROM for my A205F. I have used LOS 16 GSI [UNOFFICIAL] in the past. Everything worked flawlessly on the ROM except that the fingerprint didn't have a gesture control to bring down the notification panel and there was no MTP support. I'd like to know if anyone is going to be cooking up a STABLE LOS ROM for our device?
Sorry I don't know either,
But Me too I love Lineage OS, and I've been checking their website every week since I got this phone hoping that the A20 is finally supported ^_^ ? but nothing ?
Can I ask you how is the battery on the LOS GSI rom ?

Everything was better with that GSI (Even thou is was unofficial bro) the fingerprint sensor even worked like x2 faster . You can't beat the speed of clean android. We won't be officially supported anytime soon bro , don't count on it. Someone will have to bake a unofficial custom rom for us.

When I enquired on some problems on the LineageOS Telegram group they said that they didn't have an official GSI out
Yes it's an unofficial gsi made by some guy named Andy, it's not theirs, so they can't provide support.. and as you know problems are meant to happen for a gsi..
Unfortunately A20 don't have enough custom roms available for us to choose from, like Lineage os, paranoid android, Resurrection remix rom, or some pure aosp roms..
