Hi,
I just got a fresh Redmi Note 5 (4Gb, 64Gb).
Is there any advantage to root it? I usually do it on my phones, but I don't know what are the disadvantages on this one.
Besides, is there a good custom rom for stability and battery life, or the stock rom is better?
Thanks in advance for your kind advices!
No problems at all, if follow proper guidelines to root, custom roms are much better even got pie roms with latest gcam support,
Only bad thing is unlocking bootloader is still a big hassle, its butter smooth after that. ?

Hello guys,
switching over from iOS I actually looking for a good custom ROM to use with my Redmi Note 4 MTK version.
Since I'm new to the whole Android universe I would like to have some advice regarding the ROMS.
Or should I stay with the stock ROM and just update/upgrade it to the newest version?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you all in advance.
If you don't need Root, or Jailbreak called on iOS, than you will probabl stick to stable official ROMs. Also, you need unlocked bootloader in order to install most of the Custom Roms. There are few little more optimized Custom ROMs with some customizations, but it's not a big difference from Global Stable rom. And, you should'v bought the Snapdragon version of Redmi Note 4. Personally i have the MTK, but i bought it when it was out last year. I'm satisfied, but the battery is not even close to a Snapdragon version, MTK beats the SD one only in pefromance but for the cost of battery.
Yeah this was told me in another thread too.
Next time I guess.
Which source I should use for the ROM? Is that one with the MIUI or how it is called?
I also got permission to and unlocked my phone already.
Hello XDA,
Apologies if this doesn't belong here.
So I've been using a Redmi Note 4 for almost a month now(my first time using MIUI). Used to have a Motorola Moto G 3rd gen before this and used a Moto X(first gen) before that, so I'm used to stock android only. A lot of of my friends used to tell me MIUI is really good but tbh I'm not enjoying it at all. I much prefer the stock android experience.
I told all of these to a friend and he suggested that I try using a custom ROM. Problem is I have no idea where to even start as I'm an absolute noob about all these stuff.
So what I'm looking for is any guide/step by step instructions to installing custom ROMs for noobs like me.
Also if anyone can suggest me what ROM I should install to get closer to a stock android experience. It should be a stable build.
Thanks beforehand and apologies for the poor English, not my native language.
Hi!
First unlock bootloader (it takes 3 days because Xiaomi protection).
Then flash TWRP recovery and... Hmmm just watch this video
After that you can chose custom ROM the best one for you is LineageOS copy it to device's storage, wipe all phone data/dalvik through TWRP and install Lineage. Remember to do MIUI backup
Hello, I am super new to xda and to phone rooting. I've recently got a Xiamoni Redmi Note 4 and I really want to root it to unlock the FULL potential of my phone. I'll keep the rest of this thread short by asking:
1. Does MIUI Version matter? I am currently on Global 8.5 l Stable 8.5.4.0 (MCFMIED) Android Version 7.0 NRD90M I am also on a snapdragon
2. Once I unlock my bootloader, is the bootloader unlocked for good?
3. Where can I find a systemless root guide for my phone? (FOR SNAPDRAGON)
4. What are custom roms exactly? What would you suggest?
1) IDK if MIUI version seriously matters but I'd highly recommend to update it to the latest stable.
2) Bootloader is locked for the security of phones, for common users. For further read, see this.
3) Search for "Magisk". You'll VERY easily find the guide and everything you need.
4) Custom ROM is technically an OS. Very usually they're just different flavors of Android. When you flash a custom rom in your phone you're basically changing the phone's OS. You usually get the benefit of getting a smoother, clutter-free phone with a custom rom, well obviously there're risks which you know (or can google).

Nope. I can't tell anything beside these facts. Nice reply. Only that I'd suggest avoiding miui roms and once rooted, flashing of a pure, aosp based Rom.

Can u guys suggest any stable ROMs you have tried or any precautions to be taken care of while proceeding?

LineageOS (android 13) is the best right now in my opinion.
I suggest you watch this video to get a general idea on how to flash custom Roms for our device.
After picking which custom ROM you'd like to try, please read and understand the instructions for that specific custom ROM. This will save you from a lot of pain.
And if you are ever in doubt, post your questions on the thread for your chosen custom ROM.
