Project Treble
The most common complaint about Android updates is that they are notoriously slow to release, historically speaking. Worse still, handset support is promptly re-evaluated once new models come along. Consumers have been complaining about this problem to OEMs and Google for years. Fortunately, the situation is changing following the arrival of Project Treble. Project Treble was introduced as part of Android 8.0 Oreo and represents a major re-architecture for the OS framework. The initiative’s ultimate aim is to make updates faster and easier for OEMs to roll out to devices. Treble is arguably one of the biggest changes introduced to Android, but one that consumers won’t even notice as it works primarily behind the scenes. Here’s how it will affect the future of Android.
Project Treble on Redmi 3
Redmi 3 was launched in 2016 with Qualcomm MSM8939v2 Snapdragon 616 SoC. Though we are late to the treble party but we finally got treble support thanks to developers
Treble ROM
XDA member @WinKarbik & @ariafan built RR & crDroid treble & everything works mostly. Here I'll talk about crDroid-8.1-20180813 treble
ROM NAME: crDroid Android
Build date: 2018/08/13
ROM OS Version: 8.x Oreo
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.10.x
ROM Firmware Required: Unlocked bootloader, TWRP Treble
Based On: LineageOS
What works
Mostly Everything
What doesn't work
Camera can not save pic in full res. Use Cameringo for now
Links
Rom: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pm0-GJU3rZSP7-E8C5K24ZTnP7gFxRQ7/view?usp=sharing
Gapps: https://opengapps.org/
TWRP Treble: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-treble-t3830610
How to flash
- Reboot into TWRP
- Take backup of previous ROM in case you want to roll back
- Wipe system, data, cache, delvik, vendor
- Flash ROM & gapps
Flashing GSI
To flash GSI you'll need
- Vendor & boot from any treble ROM. In this case i'll be using crDroid-8.1-20180813 treble vendor & boot. Link here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903982506
- GSI of your liking. List here : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
- Gapps (if needed). Link: https://opengapps.org/
- TWRP that supports treble. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-treble-t3830610
How to flash
- Reboot into TWRP
- Take backup of previous ROM in case you want to roll back
- Wipe system, data, cache, delvik, vendor
- Flash treble-vendor-kernel-ido.zip (AFH link given)
- Flash GSI image as system partition
- Sometimes GSI includes gapps. If it does select reboot system & ignore NO OS Installed message
- If you want to flash gapps & magisk reboot into TWRP again after flashing GSI. Flash gapps & magisk & reboot into system
What works
Mostly Everything
What doesn't work
As original vendor & kernel has camera issue. GSI ROMs will have the same problem.

Firstly ido system partition is small to flash raw p gsi. It won't flash in recovery. Someone reported that he booted p gsi. Bt it has ril bug. Probably other p gsi

This one has 1.18gb -ish system.IMG size. BTW Redmi 4a can handle android p pr1 without any issue so why not Redmi 3? I tried to boot aosp one but it got stuck at bootloop. Hope they find a workaround.

great news, thank you for supporting ido devices.

Hello friend you managed to put Android 9 foot on redmi 3 pro ?

This is brilliant news! I think I'm going to take back my Redmi 3 and start using it again . Unfortunately it is used by a family member now.
I have been trying to find a good article about how to make these unofficial treble projects, but I couldn't really, so I'm not 100% sure what is needed. By checking the first post, I guess it needs a modified kernel and the content of the vendor partition, which contains some kind of binaries for the HAL.
What is the source of these files? Have they been taken from an official Xiaomi ROM (MIUI)? Or are they based on the released (and as far as I know incomplete and buggy) kernel sources which have been sort of fixed by Anik and other members?
I used Anik's LOS 14.1 and 15.1 as well on Redmi 3, but unfortunately they suffered from some random slowdowns and lags for me. I didn't notice this on the official ROMs. So I'm worried that this project would have the same issues if they are based on the same source.

i've tried both of official 14 & unofficial 15 (anik) los. the official lagged much, unofficial had problem with hidden ssid so i didn't get into testing. i'm currently using unofficial rr 20180730 winkarbik. as to this treble said based on los, i don't see any that solves your worry in addition to try to test for yourself.

vendor source: https://github.com/WinKarbik/vendor_xiaomi/tree/oreo-mr1/ido
you can compile kernel separately. but you'll need to compile full rom to get vendor afaik

yes, you can flash. & yes only camera bug. you might have some other issue depending on gsi roms! i used havoc & bootleggers... everything was fine on bootleggers. havoc had battery led issue.
