Hello guys, i currently own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, and so far i love it!
But i have had some problem with it (battery life, no HDR etc) since there is not a "Stable" rom for it...
I've read that it's "harder" (if we can say that) to create a stable ROM if it's a MediaTek Processor, is that true?
And since Redmi Note 3 Pro will have Snapdragon 650, will it be easier to create stable ROMs for it?
If you ask why i don't use MIUI 7, well i really want to use MIUI 7 for my Redmi note 2 but it doesn't have my native language and therefore i use a custom ROM instead.
answer is yes but

SD chipset officially supports cyanogenmod so answer is yes,but there is catch... xiaomi locks bootloader so for unlock it will take you up to 15 days .... xiaomi must give you permission to do that .... so better to know that before you do anything .... must be some global rom for redmi note 2 prime miui 7.1.... i'm not sure witch language you want ....

They lock it?
That's the first time I ever heard that android device needs permission to unlock something.
But how come i didn't need any permission to install a custom ROM in my redmi note 2 prime?
I just found a ROM and installed it and it worked great! (Well almost)
The language i want to use I Swedish, but it isn't available in MIUI 7

i dont know any for swedish but they locked it before 2-3 weeks .... now must do it... there is no recovery before unlocking bootloader... also cant flash twrp or cwm before unlock so you must wait .... any user can unlock it but wait up to 15 days... its easy to root,flashing beta miui roms but CANT ACCESS RECOVERY its all about "user security" and site like icloud called "i.mi.com" ... there is software for unocking but you must log in with your acc and must have permission on acc to do that... so it becomes complicated SADLY XIAOMI ...

Sorry for a late reply, but damn Xiaomi is becoming more and more like Apple with their updates to prevent hackers to jailbreak the phone...
This is is taken from the link and I quote: "but also to fill in the details, including your “reason to unlock” description — yes, you must explain to them why you want to unlock the bootloader, so it really is an application process."
My ONLY reason is that they don't have my language in their ROM.... If they refuse to accept that I won't buy that phone...
But one question though... My CM 12 in my redmi note 2 isn't that stable, but since the redmi note 3 have a snapdragon chip, will that make is more stable than a Mediatek chip when someone make a CM12 ROM for the redmi note 3???
hmmm

i understand that... but reason is : I bought note 3 and i wanna do whatever i want with that.... isnt it? it was not free for me....
look rm note 3 have mtk chipset and have cm 12.1 for it and have ressurection remix rom
rm note 3 pro have sd chipset and i think no roms for it yet couse bootloader .... its annoying for devs.... again shame... they mean that they are too big for fall .... dear xiaomi u didn't...
The reason the pro has no roms is because no developers has the phone yet and it is the first snapdragon 650 device in the world. There will definitely be good rom support for it but not for some time to come.

Wow I had no idea that it's the first snapdragon 650
Well that explains a lot, I guess I just have to wait to buy the phone until some Roms is released.
Xiaomi locks the bootloader now because many retailers added adware and spyware, it is really just to protect the customers, you can still unlock it after approval.

Plus, according to Xiaomi - they will release kernel sources for the device up to 3 months after the device has been launched in India. That means no stable custom roms until they release the sources.... if they release them at all
But I read that you could bypass the unlock method some where on the internet…I will post the link asap

There is currently no developer ROM available for RN3 pro, so this will not work

Hi,
With too many Redmi 3 sub-models, it hard for me to getting "knowing the ropes".
I bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core.
Read the "index-custom-roms" and there are a LOT of roms theres, hell knows what would suit me? (A clean /smouth/ android with few modes)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/index-custom-roms-t3396628
I still totally confused with:
- What is the Rooting method that works for this sub-model? (after sending request to Xiaomi to unlock the BL)
- I want a clean rom without Chinese bloatware - running smoothly without lags.
Please help me straighten out with this confusing area (for me).
Thanks you very much!
After getting unlocking permission, you need to unlock BL through miunlock tool. Then, install twrp with fastboot adb. After that you get n number of roms as per your liking & preference. Cm13 by santosh is my favorite.

Thanks mate.
But I still getting confusing and I really need to someone will paste here the links to the right TWRP recovery filecause I can easily flash the wrong recovery file.
What is the tool for unlocking the BL of the: Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core
Also - for your opinion - what is the most clean smooth rom out there for this sub-model?
Thanks very very much for the help.
https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo/
Here's the official twrp. Kenzo is device's codename so you don't get confused with other sub-models.
You will find unlock tool on the same website you applied for permission, Its the same for all variants.
I'm using CM13 based on official sources, it pretty smooth,
BTW, most ROMs for kenzo are based on official CM sources so you'll get almost similar experience on them.
Hello guys,
coming from iOS I changed to Android now, but I'm completely clueless.
I bought a new Redmi Note 4 and already got the unlocking permission and I also unlocked it as well.
However now I don't know how to continue from here. I want to have the latest OS/Android on my phone and it needs to have the german language as well.
Can someone show me the way I need to go to get it done?
Every help is much appreciated!

Ah, MTK variant = Less development!
You should've bought snapdragon variant if you're interested in installing custom Roms (ie; latest version or Android) etc etc.. Anyhow, MTK variant is also got some development. First you've to install TWRP recovery. Then good to go.
Development for MTK can be found here :- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/development
Thank you man.
I've looked a tutorial up on youtube for this TWRP Recovery: youtube.com/watch?v=6F65ZuUOR7M
Do I also have to install Lazyflasher?
One thing I can't figure out for myself is which ROM I should get/use? Are there any recommendations for it?

Dunno exactly, as I owns a snapdragon variant of Redmi-note-4.
Yep. You need to flash lazyflasher.zip if you wanna boot into system once you flash TWRP via fastboot command.
Check the above link, there are ROMs available, get a good one (you should ask users over there) flash it!
Good luck mayte! :good:

Why they stopped production?
Anyways hopes are not all down as you can flash a GSI (generic system image, searchable on google)
And also, galaxy tab original P7500 also have it's production stopped, and now, it gets android 8.0 unofficially
Well i will call it a mi 11 lite lite 5g as it is slightly tuned down.
But from xiaomi's trend most likely it will be called 'mi 11 lite 5G reloaded'

Unofficially to make room for Snapdragon 888 on production lines. Because is used in many phones and is very requested , 780 was used only in Mi 11 lite.
I'm saying that since number of sell Renoir is low, the possibly of a custom developer to have it is low . I hope I'm wrong since i have this phone.
No man, you're right, we'll be stuck in the vacuum.

Is there released kernel sources?
If yes then if someone decided hey I want to donate my phone to a dev then we may get custom ROMs. We may also get blind- builded
custom ROMs.
If no sources, we won't get custom ROMs, same as the 20 dollar mediatek cheap phones.
Damnit, I bought this Xiaomi phone in the hope there will be a custom rom. My Redmi 5 got excellent rom support. But reading that sales are low and to make room for other Snapdragon soc's makes me not optimistic.
My Galaxy A50 that I used for 2 years also got no rom support, but that was mainly because the security in Knoxx. I got used to that.
The Lite 11 4G version of this phone have a few custom roms! Why the 5G not?!!
GSI is enough nowadays. I added patch to phh-treble and works good

Over a month before you asked this many news sites had posted about the chip shortage, why 780G phones are so rare and why manufacturers like Xiaomi are going to circumvent the problem by switching to 778G.
Xiaomi will release the new Mi 11 Lite NE 5G tomorrow, using the 778G produced by TSMC using N6 unlike the 780G which is produced by Samsung using 5LPE.
Hello, I recently upgraded from a5 to a52 5g. When I fully set up my a52 5g, I thought to myself "Why not unlock the bootloader and install custom rom and recovery on the a5?". I installed pixel experience on the device and honestly I got hooked. I kinda want to compile twrp and port pixel experience for the a52 5g, but if I'm the only one interested in custom stuff for the A52 5G I don't see much point. Should I port PE and possibly other roms? And compile twrp? I have a SM-A526B/DS

If you already unlocked the BL and tripped it, I would encourage you to do it. There are some that don't know how to make a device tree so the device doesn't get many projects. If you're the first to do it then the custom ROM scene may explode. But the again, up to you
Yeah I just unlocked the BL. I'm working on TWRP right now. I think I might be done in a week. As this is my first time compiling TWRP, I want to do it correctly.

I have the U1 variant and can't do a damn thing but I fully support any development. This is a solid phone.
Hello, an update on the progress. I'm not able to get TWRP flashed because of vbmeta lock. When I flash blank vbmeta it also doesn't like the blank vbmeta so it refuses to start up. I will focus on trying to bypass it, but the chances are extremely unlikely unfortunately.
Last update on this thread. Twrp is here!

More to the tune of using a GSI then changing it to match the quirks of the phone, like the underscreen fingerprint and the multiple cameras.

I would be happy to just have a stock rom with the "smartview" feature unlocked. And I would be willing to pay for it if not unreasonable.
I recently found out that smartview on this device is software locked out.
When I tried to use it recently on vacation, it would only mirror my phones screen to the tv for a fraction of a second before switching to a generic homescreen image.
after 6-7 hours total in support chat, and 1-2 hours on the phone with high level support, I finally got them to admit that function is locked on the A52 5G ...Dirty.
If I could just have that feature unlocked I would be totally happy.
But would also be cool with trying out any other cool roms you could cook up.
My Model is SM-A526U1
