Redmi note 4 mtk nikel rom suggestion - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi all, I'm going to clean my redmi note 4 mtk and I want to try something newer than android 6 and miui global stable 9.6.1.0.
Any suggestion? the smartphone is unlocked and rooted.

I doubt we'll ever see any working rom with Android newer than 6.0.1 but you can always try latest MIUI 10 from xiaomi.eu

I searched on xiaomi.eu but I find only HMNote5 rom, nothing with HMNote4 name

The stable version of MIUI 10 for HMNote4 wasn't released yet.
You can use the weekly (developer) build from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.10.11/

With this can I update as soon a build was published without loosing data?
I'm thinking to be up to date each installing each weekly until become stable

There are custom roms with Android 7 but i think they are not MIUI roms... AOSP or similar...
Me personally, prefer MIUI and i firmly stay with MIUI8...for me,best battery life. On MIUI9 is irritating that they placed adds all around (in file manager, cleaner, security etc).
And with 9.6.1.0 my battery lasted for maximum 14h and 4h of SOT... With 8.2.1.0 (on which i returned yesterday) it lasts for roughly 30h and 6,5-7h of SOT... I use both sim slots, am heavy user due to business number (push emails, calls, sms...), WiFi, mobile internet, GPS constantly on...
There are some AOSP roms with even better battery life,but as i said, i like and prefer MIUI ☺
P.S. and my phone is almost 2 years old [emoji123]

Many thanks
You tried others non MIUI rom, if I understood.
Any hint? Is it possible to downgrade from 9.6.1.0 to 8.2.1.0?

Sorry I didn't get you.
You want antutu bench score?
I had battery drain since 1 month ago but without MIUI update, I don't know why.
Was more than 1 year ago I made a fresh install so I decided to try beta MIUI 10 and seems no drain (not the best duration but no drain for sure)

It is, i downgraded it from 9.6.1.0 to 8.2.1.0 using MiFlash tool...but be carefull, there is a special MiFlash Tool version for MTK processors.
I found this version on some YouTube clip, the guy left download link in the description ☺
Yes, i tried non-MIUI roms as well,but i prefer MIUI ☺
As i saw,there is Android One for Xiaomi A1 available for Redmi Note 4,fully functional only some setups in camera not working (which is expected) so if you like,you can try that one as well ☺

In the discription you have link for download material...
Everything is the same but you only need to download and use ROM for your phone.

I'm downloading stuff linked in the video but you're saying that there is a dedicated version of MiFlash for mtk?
I thought that was only rom dedicate to mtk (obviously).
Sice now I used the twrp menu' to flash rom

Hi:
The provided link seems to be for Snapdragon (MIDO), not for Mediatek (Nikel).
Do you know if there is a version for our device?

There are no custom ROMs for your device. Only those based on MIUI like xiaomi.eu

Why not use the Chinese version of miui 10?I remember that the Chinese version of MIUI 10 has a stable version.

n00b question about MTK Global Rom

Hi guys!
I'm getting tomorrow a Redmi Note 4 MTK version.
Because i'm not sure what firmware it'll have, I'm planning to install the global rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-309.html#455
Does it include the google services and apps? or I should flash gapps or something?
Thanks!

There's basically 4 official Roms, Global stable, Global Beta, China stable and China Beta. The Chinese roms are made for the Chinese market and so don't have Google apps installed, but the language can be set to English and Gapps can be side loaded.

Worth buying new redmi note 3 ?

Hi all,
Have a querry..
I had a kenzo redmi note 3 which got stolen 2 weeks ago...
Purchased a redmi 4 indian version.
Like using custom roms. Should i sell the redmi 4 and go for a new redmi note 3??
Thanks..
You're talking about Redmi note 4? Because RN3 is considerably better than Redmi 4 and if you want to try custom roms then should go for RN3 because I don't think any other device from Xiaomi will get this much traction. Big developers like Franco & flar working on our device what more do you need.
Awesome thought man. If you really love custom ROMs then get tge RN3 back. Its probably wlrth it. And moreover you won't be able to run high end ROMs in the redmi 4(assuming you git the 6k Redmi 4)

As long as you flash the right things, because that device is kate not kenzo, you'll be fine.

Better to stick to kenzo since all roms are made for kenzo. Only some work on the kate.

You're wrong, all ROM (except those based on MIUI) works on both Kenzo & Kate, the only difference is in the firmware (radio/baseband), and it's not flashed when you install a custom ROM.

:good:
Except for Exodus ROM Nougat.
That Rom flashes a Kenzo firmware 1st before the ROM. Well flashing Kate firmware afterwards would fix the problem.
@vetusa2
The only thing you really need to be careful of is when flashing MIUI or Firmware.

Xiaomi.eu is based in the China Dev ROM, not in the global one, and there is a SIM card bug in the China one and that is the reason why xiaomi.eu have delayed the ROM release.

Here is bro for fastboot method http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.2.0.N...FD_20180608.0000.00_7.1_global_caaf0fdef6.tgz
And here for recovery method http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.2.0.NEGMIFD/miui_HM5PlusGlobal_V9.6.2.0.NEGMIFD_215b4ae3f2_7.1.zip
You can always roll back to LAST stable, using update tool on the phone and pointing to the downloaded zip file, the phone must have internet connection because It checks if that one is the last sofware available, If you try to use and old version, it just refuses.
works like a charm!

china rom is bloated , and no google apps , therefore the answer is simple eu rom
Stable rom has some bug, unable to boot, phone automatically boot in mi recovery,
Then again try with developer rom and successfully boot xiaomi.eu
So I installed on my China variant Redmi K30 & I can confirm all function works like it should. Just waiting for the BL unlock was a pain lol. Oh yes, just the call video wallpaper doesn't work for now maybe it's just a software bug idk but other than that it's perfect! The benchmark score also a bit higher than CN Miui ??
Edit :
And I also got a way to make magisk work on this rom. You just gotta pull the boot.img & patch it using magisk manager app & install the patched img using fastboot. Works flawlessly as for now ?
