any long established roms working 100%? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Been a user of CM and then Lineage for years.
Unfortunately the lineageOS in Oreo we have at the moment are not quite working entirely.
Are there any long established roms, on Oreo, that work 100% and receive updates?
the only other I've tried is Nitrogen, where I had issues with an encryption error (where I wasn't encrypting) and not sure was getting updates at that stage..

Official LOS is not updated anymore with fixes.
Use oficial Aosp extended rom. It has official inbuild updater like Los. its very customizable and best rated rom.
Flash latest twrp 3.2.3
First Format data
Then. Wipe data reset
Flash Aex rom 5.8
Flash latest august open gapps nano
Reboot

Give Omnirom a try. May not be the most feature rich, but its one of the most stable ROMs that I've tried. Updated regularly as well.

You can use Mokee, only issue Xposed pre installed and not systemless. Hence won't pass safetynet even if you use Xposed uninstaller

Cannot Boot Custom ROMs Anymore. Just Bootloops

Been using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) for a long time now and since the ROM was outdated, I decided to update it this past weekend. However for whatever reason, something broke and I've been getting bootloops. Since then, this is what I did and it still doesn't work.
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v8.5.1.0 Global Stable, and then OTA updated to v8.5.2.0.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Immediately officially unlocked the bootloader using Mi Unlock.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
Made EFS and ROM backups as usual.
Clean flashed Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (Radon kernel) with /data and /cache as F2FS.
Flashed Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini.
Right now, I'm back to running stock MIUI v8.5.1.0, which was flashed using MiFlash. Then I did the OTA update to MIUI v8.5.2.0. May someone please guide me or correct the above steps in order to install the linked Resurrection Remix ROM? Or maybe a Nougat ROM?

Flash LOS 13 which is far stable than the RR 5.7.4. You should've flashed another rom before moving back to MIUI. The process you followed is correct but you also need to flash the compatible firmware like for RR you need CM13 firmare and for LOS you'll the recommended firmware posted in the thread itself.
I went through some ROM threads and one recommended flashing MIUI8 Global DEVELOPER and not Global STABLE. Am I supposed to be using MIUI 8 Global DEVELOPER as the starting point?

The Resurrection Remix build I linked is based off of LineageOS 13 so it should be stable.
So you're saying I missed flashing a firmware? I see some ROMs recommend flashing the firmware, while others don't. Which is the proper firmware to flash if the ROM thread doesn't state which firmware to use?

The one on this thread. Second post.
well seems to be a new problem...
so what must be done... i will suggest to get latest miui fastboot rom from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/links-direct-official-download-links-t3449488
flash it via mi flash tool (im running 64 bit os ,so using mi flash beta ) in edl mode by wiping full things including storage..
if your boot loader is unlocked official way it must be unlocked now also if not i guess you know how to unlock it officially.
then use official twrp from
www.twrp.me
i faced this issue once and did the exact steps above and now no problem..
by the way i tried things like unplugging battery from the board... lol... read in miui forum...
I've been having very similar issues (updated official firmware in a non officially unlocked bootloader).
It's been hell but I've managed to get los14.1 installed. Now my issue lies with constant gapps crashes. I'm thinking of just giving up and getting miui.

One would think so but in reality is the other way around. I'm using a 20170303 and it has been the most stable version across all my devices and so on.

I've tried yesterdays version. Play store wouldn't even open. Dirty flashed 0625 play store opens but a lot of apps crash, everything works fine with 0303.
I'm flashing miui and I'm going to try the official bootloader unlock, but this have been a couple of strange days.

dirty flashing isn't a solution ... theres changes in trees of the rom and kernel..
anyway head back to miui unlocl officially and when coming back to custom rom do wipe everything and give it a shot..probably the crash may be due to over written or exiating files...
happy flashing
~peace
I should mention I clean flashed the ROMs. Updated OP.
Ok trying it again right now and so far, this is what I did:
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v7.7.6 Global DEV.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Tried to unlock bootloader using Mi Unlock but it said bootloader is already unlocked.
Boot into MIUI again.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
No boot into MIUI.
Flash Kenzo firmware 8.2.4.0 in TWRP
Clean flash LineageOS 13 and Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini with /data and /cache in EXT4
IT WORKS!
I guess now I'll try Resurrection Remix.

Sorry. I'm new to this. Can I do that all in twrp czx? Bootloader is not unlocked as it took time so I am using twrp CZX as another way to flash roms.

Fingerprint Sensor in updated oreo Roms

My finger print sensor is not working on any of the oreo rom since 2 months, earlier it used to work somehow, now i cant see fingerprint option in insecurity settings.
I flashed epic rom based on nougat, the sensor is working fine but not on oreo roms.
I have tried clean flash and even formatting the devices.
Right now I am on AEX 5.8. Developers please help.
Official kernel?
Escrypted storage?
FPC or Goodix?
Selinux?
Do you try older version? I use 5.7 version of AEX (8.1) with agno kernel 13 (Goodix, enforced selinux, encrypted phone)
What recovery do you use?

Stock kernel
No encription
Fpc
No other stuff
It didnt work on 5.7 too.. Used stock kernel.
Is there any any chance that this is due to lack of firmware update
Yes but i dont have this issue to confirm a fix.
I recommend install with fastboot each new firmware. (If you dont update in much time)
Equally i recommend recovery of RedWolf.

I repeat i dont knoe if it fix your issue, is a possibility.

Constant restarts on Pie custom roms

Hello.
I am facing constant restarts on any Pie custom rom. I use reccomended treble TWRP, i have newest MIUI firmware, i wiped cashe\dalvik\system\data, and i formated data completely prior to installing. As soon as it boots, it restarts, and it happens over and over again. Am i missing something?

No. I had similar experiences. I eventually got GZOSP, which proved stable. I'm back to Oreo, of course.

I managed to figure it out. We need MIUI firmware based on global 8.1 rom (i had latest weekly build, but based on 7.1 rom). Just flash this and you are ready for Pie. Installed AospExtended and everything works great so far.

oreo or pie

Does anyone still using oreo on their poco? Im kinda bored with pie and 10's . I miss oreo a lot. Will it be okay to go back oreo on beryllium..
I still see oreo global stable 9.6.25 miui 9 is the best for poco regarding battery performance and loudness but ever since i started getting touch issues two months ago, i get bad touch on oreo and pie roms and the only rom without touch issues (so far) is pe 10 beta with 10.3.7.0 firmware!.
why use Oreo with accient security patches when you can use lastest
Ouch now im seeing the problem to go back oreo. But can the latest firmware work with the oreo miui or customs rom. Does anyone ever try this.

i tried going back to oreo many times using twrp but touch was not working from the setup screen.....i had to flash oreo vendor then rom again to regain touch.
you can bypass such hassle and use miflash tool to clean flash oreo but u will have to reflash twrp afterwards if you want custom recovery.

Okay understood. Good information.
between Androids, Pie is better than Oreo
between Miui9 and Miui10, / most of the users have prefered Miui9 due to better battery life so its more of a judgement call!
however
I am living with POCO on CRDROID and HAVOC so for me I will choose latest Android and Rom Builds to have Stock Experience! and I prefer Pie over Oreo
