hey guys,
just wanted to tell you that at the miui forums there is already a cyanogenmod 12.1 ported for the redmi 3. its a zip to load via TWRP and only for unlocked bootloader.
its the 4th version and it's pretty much stable. been using the rom as a daily driver for 5 days now and everything worked so far. i havent tested every function but camera, gps, wifi, 4g data, bluetooth, etc works super fine. only thing is that battery life is superior on original miui rom. anyone interested in getting rid of miui check out the link.

p.s. wipe phone first before installing CM.
p.p.s. don't forget 64bit gapps if you need it!

Great news!
How bad is the batterylife and is the pictures taken with the camera as good as with miui?
I dirty flashed this 4th version over the 3rd one. No need to flash gapps if you dirty flash from previous version.
There are 5 chinese apps, I froze them with titanium.
No issues so far. Been using the 3rd version about a week now.
So how is the battery life?
battery life with the 4th version is pretty much on par with miui now.
this cm comes with root (toggle in developer options) so i just uninstalled the 6 Chinese apps with system app remover.
What about camera quality, focus speed and HDR? Are those on par with MIUI?
Chinese user here! I flashed this ported CM 12.1 this morning. I also found the annoying existence of Baidu and 360 apps preinstalled in this rom. Because im not sure how xposed works with this ported CM 12.1, so i flashed back to MIUI 6.3.25 for there's a relatively stable xposed support
Using it for over 2 days now and I am impressed.
Its very stable and fully operational.
Apart from chineese apps pre-installed, theres not even one fault with it.
Battery and camera just fine, as on original MIUI.
Beauty and simplicity of CM was just what I needed for my Redmi3.
Cheers.
Does someone know if this will work on redmi 3 PRO?

Most likely, it wont. Even though phones have exactly same specs, you might find that there could be some differences in things like sensors, camera etc.
So yeah, it might boot, but you most likely will be annoyed by multiple things not working (including fingerprint sensor)
there are a few versions on the miui chinese forums (which I can read and translate), anyway what I've read is that 1 of the CM12.1 ROMs come with trojan horse (but scanned via a chinese security app 360 antivirus) - http://www.miui.com/thread-3980415-1-1.html (the user said she was on CM12.1 4th version)
Please do try a scan with your antivirus (on Android, I use Sophos) of choice just to be safe. I would do it but I'm still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked.
What I've heard on the forum linked above is that development from cofface is trustworthy, hence I searched and indeed there is a CM12.1 ROM that was just uploaded. (http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-1-1.html) It does not appear to come with any Chinese apps like the 4th version listed above. Maybe it's worth a try? (I'm not sure)
All CM12.1 versions:
http://www.miui.com/thread-3985299-1-1.html ROM dated 3/30, modded by Liberation, original by Flour_Mo (comes with Chinese apps)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-6-1.html by Cofface (doesn't seem to have any bloatware)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3968326-1-1.html 4th version by Flour_Mo
CM 13 is also in the works but will take some time to become stable..
**apparently there is a buggy LED notification in all CM 12.1 builds

Hey, thanks for keeping us posted. I would like to install this cofface rom, but I cant get through chinese websites. Could you please give me a link, or upload it for me?
Much obliged.
can someone please share a link but not to chiniese site where to download i have to sign in with my phone number ?
How does performance looks compared to MIUI ? Do phone/contact/camera/messege apps launch faster or slower compared to MIUI ? How much free RAM is available after reboot ?

Thank you very much for clearing this up! I knew that there was something dodgy going on with those Roms!!! All the crap they are saying about "how we should use those apps and support devs" did sound like pile of sh*t to me. Someone from here really should post some screenshots of AV scans there and expose those bastards. It's really annoying that someone is even trying to do that...

When I was trying cm builds, the performance was actually really good. But somehow I started to like miui about free RAM, there was around 1.2 gigs available, I think. That decreases to 1 gig after you install gapps.

Go to miui forums and people usually re-post Roms to some other *drive website like gdrive again, I do not recommend using any of those scammy Roms until it is clarified that Roms are actually clean and legit

i think some of the developers there are legit (like the rooted ROM on this forum by greatslon and TWRP recovery by cofface http://www.miui.com/thread-3917207-1-1.html), not to worry, I believe it might even be false positives, since the AV scan is from a Chinese AV app (360 security) so... there is a chance its reporting false positives. Just have to see the response from those who have already flashed the ROMs. As for links to download, alright, will try to re-upload those ROMs or post the link to download here. Its actually pretty safe to register your phone number because its linked to the MIUI servers (the Chinese like to use phone numbers as a way to access many features, such as Airport WIFI etc)
To those wondering how to see the download links - its like the english version of the MIUI forums. you will have to set up a forum account, then comment once to gain "experience" and then the download link is revealed.
Hello guys, unfortunately I can't move my apps to the SD card. I have a UHS class 10 64Gb SD Card.
It says that I don't have enough space, while I have a lot, like 57Gb free.
Is anyone having the same problem, if not, how can I solve it anyway?

Sorry, I probably should have explained more what I meant.
cofface is a legit dev, who seems to be doing a great job for out little community.
But other devs, who do stuff like pre-installing some weird apps... I honestly cannot think of any excuses of why they are doing that, apart from spying/collecting your address books/etc.
So yeah, the only rom to try is cofface's at this moment. But then again, I can't seem to find any download link in that Chinese thread.
Anywho, I'm looking forward seeing cm13 on our phones, which is pretty exciting. And hopefully Android N in a near future ^^

I've posted the ROM in the xda forum and uploaded the ROM on google drive and MEGA. here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/rom-cm12-1-redmi-3-t3348916
the forum functions like the english miui forums where you have to create an account (your english miui account will do fine) and comment before you can see the download link! and the pre-installed apps are the chinese alternatives to the google apps that they don't have access to. If I'm not wrong.

You may need to edit your permissions xml file to include rw on media line to have it working right. http://zidroid.com/how-to-fix-extsdcard-mount-issue-on-kitkat-and-lollipop/
Hi guys, I'm the owner of a crappy LG F60 (D390AR). It has Lollipop but l want to go back to KitKat. I couldnt find the stock rom but i've found the LG OpenSource Code Distribution Site, where I found a file (.zip) that it seems to be ROM, or the code. The file has the name of the stock rom : LGD390AR v10 ( where v10 is KitKat. Lollipop is v20) and it weights 282 Mb instead of the Lollipop's 978Mb, but I guess it has not GAPPS in it.
how do I know if i can flash this? If I try it could I brick my phone?
The site is HERE
Thanks in advance
KDZ file
There are stock kdz's, But it takes away root access to the device so you will have to re-root (if you still want root).
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ <--- You will have to enter your IMEI code so it can find your specific stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 <--- Then you will have to flash it with LG Flash Tool 2014.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hk79nNkqtI <--- (A guide on how to use it)
Good luck!
Thank you very much! That site is useful but only gives me the last firmware, I mean Lollipop. And I need KitKat. Anyway to get it?

Thanks Intellinet! That ROM v10, is for another company but I will try.
And yes, I have the L official update.
A wacky story
Ready for it?
I say the LG D390 F60 really falls short of a lot of features: internal memory, for starts.
But, agreed it holsters in qualities like design, speed and remarkable battery mileage, it is still some of the greatest phones LG issued, and this brand had put a ton of sweat in it.
Now, mine is virtually indestructible - I've owned one for several years, which now has long been my "fallback" phone.
What's weird?
Well, besides it having been taken for a pretty dead bricked paperweight quite a few times, and overly and successfully flashed - lately with Lollipop 5.X, which it is running right now - it ended up making a true phone flash expert out of me., and a multi-brand flash tool ??????????.
I started unbricking my own, then friends', then, driven by word-of-mouth, the neighborhood populace began queuing at the front door to dump actual handbag loads of several-brand bricked phones at my feet - and I brought most back to life - and even made quite a little extra pocket cash in the spare-time.
The end.
Bricked phones, anyone? Bring'em on!
The device ships with Android 8.1 (= Treble enabled) and Xiaomi usually lets users unlock the bootloader. Does that mean we can simply flash a generic system image (GSI) and enjoy a fully working tablet from day 1?
EDIT: Summary of findings as of November 25, 2018
After unlocking the device and flashing TWRP a GSI can be installed. However, Universal DM-Verity (and ForceEncrypt) Disable is needed to be able to boot (might have to flash twice and/or reformat data to lose encryption). See Installation guide by GBouerat.
The device works fine and can be used as a daily driver. However, there are a few things not working, buggy or needed to be set up. Specifically you need to adjust the DPI settings in /vendor/build.prop:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
ro.build.characteristics=tablet
Other tweaks:
enable lockscreen rotation (if not already working) => in build.prop set:
Code:
lockscreen.rot_override=true
display correct device name => in /system/build.prop set:
Code:
ro.product.manufacturer=Xiaomi
ro.product.model=MI PAD 4
ro.product.brand=Xiaomi
ro.product.name=clover
ro.product.device=clover
smoother rounded edges => use overlay app (post #92)
pass SafetyNet
Not working:
clock resets at boot (TWRP not affected though) until you enable WiFi => use ClockSync if time server is not reachable or set another server (see post #221)
WiFi is not automatically turned on after boot => works for some on AOSP phh v23/v25; works for me only for a short moment when setting up as new device (no backup from cloud!) or once when clearing Dalvik/ART cache in TWRP; might have something to do with signing into Play Services (tbc)
exFAT
"pick up to wake"
sleep/wake on magnetic cover
Should be working now:
notification LED ==> works (for me) on AOSP phh v25 as far as I can tell
"double tap to wake" (DT2W) => see fix in post #191 and following
brightness control => fixed (for me) in AOSP by phh v25; can be enabled on any older ROM by copying /system/overlay/treble-overlay-xiaomi-mipad4.apk from phh v25 (see post #221); alternatively set in build.prop: persist.sys.qcom-brightness 4095
device encryption ==> works by flashing Disable_Dm-Verity-09.02.2018.zip (this ZIP leaves force encryption untouched) (see post #221 for details)
Bluetooth audio => fixed (for me) in AOSP by phh v25
MTP doesn't always work on first try => fixed in AOSP by phh v23 according to change log (I have not tested it yet)

But you'll have to wait for the 72hrs. They are device-dependent. I got my Mix 2 a few weeks ago, and even though I already had permissions to UNLOCK in general, I had to wait for another 72hrs just like with my Mi5X before.
It's stupid but you have to wait 72hrs for every new device you want to unlock. But if you relock it after unlocking and then want to unlock it again, you don't have to wait.

Was 72hrs for me. But both are so stupid and useless smh
As long as I don't have to wait months and months for a device-specific custom ROM, I can live with the 72 hrs. If anyone successfully installed a GSI on this device, please let us know!
You wont have to wait if you have a MIUI alpha tester account
does anyone here has real development knowledge and not just "i install a GSI and everything will be fine"?
Im actually thinking of buying this device so to let you know without a kernel source, which xiaomi didnt released for now, its VERY HARD to compile a GSI without correct boot.img and i dont mean the stock boot.img rom as (most) vendors modify their ramdisk to only boot their OS.
Also flashing a GSI doesnt mean to give a fully working system from day 1 there could be plenty of bugs even, it just makes the general system ready to work.
Nontheless this could be solved with getting the sources and a bit of device bringup here and there, i even personally prefer the old school way of building and not the GSI way (as it gives you full control of what youre actually building with every parameter tweakable) but thats just a personal thought from me as dev.

Unluckily the seller doesnt ships from europe as he stated yesterday and I dont wanna pay 250€ plus custom duties plus shipping on this device. I need to wait until the price gets lower or it's available in EU somewhere. Or does anyone knows a good cheap seller who ships to germany?

No sry they cheapest thing i could find was 200€+15€ shipping for the 3+32 version. We'll probably have to wait until it officialy comes to Europe. (If it does at all.)
You can buy it from china without duties (e.g. GearBest)

No Germany (where he's coming from) and Austria (my country) charge fees when importing from a country outsite of the EU (And maybe other countries idk). This comes in at between 20-40€ and depends on the price of the product. And prices on gearbest are even higher than the other stores due to big demant in china I guess.

it looks like this LG is not going version 9 or 10 anytime soon. THere are so many upgrade options ( firmware / ROM )
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good solid ROM (Android 10 maybe) and firmware with good documentation?
Thanks so much this board is always so helpfil!!!

If you use LOS-17 based ROM (Android 10) you need stock Pie as base. V30 LOS-17 needs LG stock Pie blobs (drivers).

Yes, I keep my threads updated. But it's not necessarily post #1 you need to worry about. Read the upgrade instructions top of post #2 and also post #6. Some people have issues updating to wonky US998 Pie. So, we have workarounds.
If you are going to install a custom ROM afterwards, you need unlocked bootloader. So, don't update to Pie before doing that, since the first step you need for unlocked bootloader is to (temporarily) be on early Oreo. For US998, that means US998 20a or 20b.
If you are still on US998 20h, from earlier post, your first step would be to temporarily downgrade to US998 20a or 20b. See the WTF Instructions. Read them in a web browser, not an app. Apps like Tapatalk or XDA tend to truncate sections of very long posts like that.
AFTER that, then you can update to Pie blobs (drivers) and then install LOS-17 based ROMs. You only stay on early Oreo just long enough to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, etc. But you need to update to stock Pie firmware (either KDZ or TWRP-flashable zip) to then install LOS-17 based ROMs.
Is it still

The latest update you can get is Android 9
If you are not able to recieve OTA updates, you may need to flash KDZ of Android 9.

Thank you tech_infinity i was so lost by this, especially being that at one time this was considered one LG's flagship phones, lol, well im trying to figure out the best way to root it,and what root to use , because it is really nice and i love it , it does strike me a lot at factory set up to be like the galaxy s10 or 9 note in some ways but in really want the thin Q 50 or 60 Q im very interested in , are they quality as well like this when this came out ? or ....
To root the phone, we recommend using the WTF thread and the instructions detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ar-instructions.3790500/page-10#post-76584629
