Advice to change original rom - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I recently bought an Redmi 2 4G model 2014817 in HK for a friend.
I would like to put the phone in french using an update of MIUI or a new ROM (stable). Currently only chinese and english are available.
I've read a lot of messages and it seems a bit complex.
What is your advice?
Thanks a lot!

I couldn't find a device-specific thread here on XDA, so I'm going to point you to the right section for your questions [in another forum].
check here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-redmi-2-4g-lte.134/

Thanks I saw I've seen that except it's almost impossible to register.
In case I don't succeed to install multilingual pack, could I install another rom like cyanogen or a "clean" android (like on nexus) ?
Maybe I should wait a bit as the phone is quite new.
Cheers !

If you want to have MIUI with french, you have to use this ROM (specific for your device). It's the MIUI 6 Kit Kat Multilanguage.
If you want other ROMs, there's something Unofficial for now, the device is new. There's an Unofficial CyanogenMod 11.
Installing Multi MIUI it's very simple: http://en.miui.com/thread-11242-1-1.html
On this link it's for MIUI V5, but for MIUI 6 is almost the same.

Thanks a lot for all those info, I'll make a try today and let you know. I will try to keep MIUI first.
I let you know
Cheers,

Hey,
It has worked! in something like 5 minutes, very easy.
Just you need to install the driver before (on Win 8.1) to have better access to the internal memory.

Now I'm waiting for a new multilingual version with MIUI6
Thanks a lot!

[ROM][PE-TL10] r7 - MoDaCo Custom ROM [EMUI Style]

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Honor 6 Plus PE-TL10!
READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock Emotion UI ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
This ROM is part of the 'Unified Honor ROM' project - ROMs with the same changes are available for all current Honor devices.
A MCR version with a more 'stock Android' like interface is under development.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Features
Based on the B521 custom ROM starter template (you may use MCR as a base for your own ROM)
ROM fully optimised with the unique MCR scripts
Updated power management policies to reduce instances of 'missing notifications'
All apps in ROM updates to latest versions (a considerable saving of over 1GB on /data!)
Busybox installed
sepolicy patched boot image ready for root
selinux permissive
Removed 'icons' from /system/themes (themes no longer need to include default icons again)
MoDaCo Custom Kitchen (coming soon!)
Multi user support
Multi window support
Preloaded Stockify theme stub
Numerous other small refinements - please see the gitlab commits for full details
This ROM is completely in version control at gitlab! https://gitlab.com/u/paulobrien/projects
Want more tweaks and changes? Post your requests in the support topic.
Changelog
Please see the post below this one for the changelog.
Installation
You should install this ROM on a device that has previously been updated to the B521 release.
To install this ROM:
Download the zip file from the links below and copy to your internal / external SD card.
Restart your device in recovery mode
PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU
Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the SD card.
Important Note: As this ROM is partially deodexed, first boot can take a long time. If you have not wiped, you can check for any issues with adb logcat. Be patient!

Support
If you have a general question, please post in the topic.
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.
And finally...
Enjoy!

Paul, thanks for this release. There isn't much Marshmallow material around to simply flash on this device.
Keep up the good work.
On which version of Android is based this ROM? Android 5.1 Lollipop or Marshmallow? Thank you!
Marshmallow!
More cool features coming!

No bugs.
After running a few days as my daily driver;
- Far less Wakelocks
- Good performance
- No bugs so far.
(Compared to OTA B521.)
I looks like I am the only one in the world owning a 6 Plus. By the way, still a very competitive Budget flagship, I must say.
Normaly the first "new custom rom" that can be normally flashed, gets the post "smoking" with replies.
Early days. The good stuff is yet to come. ?

Nice to hear. It might be 10 years ago that the first Modaco rom got flashed on my device. (HTC Touch? or Qteck 2020?) Old Scool.

I started with a Qtek S100, then a E-ten glofiish X500, followed by a HTC Hero as well, then another HTC, then some stuff from China like ZTE V987 and ZTE V5 Red Bull. Then I bought a Honor 6 Plus from China, but since last week I own a Oneplus 3
Now I'm finally upgrading the Honor 6 Plus to Android 6, so you're not alone anymore
Just updated to a Chinese version 6.2.1, but now I'm thinking of installing TWRP and MoDaCo.
(We probable both posted in the Honor 6 topic on Tweakers.net)
Paul, thanks for this ROM! I think it's really good. No bugs found at all and I like how clean it is. Like almost vanilla marshmallow
Yesterday I already had everything setup, but made the mistake to deinstall HwStart (I didn't now that's the Huawei launcher) with titanium backup. It wasn't possible to get it back with a restore. Then I didn't have a launcher anymore and then the system wouldn't reboot anymore.
So I did a new clean install this morning and everything is now fine again
Thanks paul for this nice clean rom!! Hoping for future updates =). The phone is running very fast and clean!

Can i install at Honor 6+ PE-UL00?
I would really like to flash this (coming from a MotoG2013 flashed at least 100 times...) but I received my PE-TL10 just a few days ago (3 ).
But I'm a bit worried about the "battery drain" issue with MM official OTA (and other small things...)
Did you manage to solve that? The battery drain I mean.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your effort Paul!
I flashed this rom with TWRP and i had Emui 3.1 and now it bootloops. Is this compatible with emui 3.1? Cause this is my 2th try to flash and fail. And is there official emui 4.0 for h60-L04 europe?
is it worth to flash it over my version (Official PE-TL10 C900B520) or not?
Cause it works flawlessly with the stock one

You're saying you flashed this on a h60-L04? I think it is meant for the PE-TL10 and therefor it bootloops on your h60-L04.
I did a clean install of this ROM on my PE-TL10 with TWRP and it works flawless.
I have the B520 variant, is it possible to install this ROM over it?
Or do I have to make other changes before doing that?
Thanks in advance

Best ROM for this device

Hi All,
What's the best working ROM for this device?
Do we know why Miui 8 for this phone is only Android 5.1.1?
Does Mr.Ivan's AOSP 6.0.1 work better than Miui? Some people say yes, some say no.
I feel like I bought a phone that's gotten tossed aside by devs like a used cum rag.
Anyone running anything that's not got a thread here?

Ivan 6.0.1 is the best, just you need to deal with its Permissions problems initially and later use the Location Fix from the thread and use Open Camera or any from Gplay instead of stock one... running flawless for me, even Xposed works normally...
Ivan's 6.0.1 is great. But i have a problem with battery life and gps. But i have a good experience with smiui. But I have feiled installaing xposed framwork. I wanna try unofficial cyanogenmod 13. Any experience, anybody ?
I have the same question + some additional request
Which one support device encryption and not being rooted
I need thos two to access my company email
????????????????6.0???*?????MIUI???*???
Smiui rom is very stable and fine. But I wanna other custom rom. Is There?

smiui contains code full of adverts and back doors. Don't use it!
you could use instead xiaomi.eu weekly rom or miuipro.ru ROM.
Any other ROMs that are not based on MIUI are very bad and not daily driver.
I love my phone so much. It's Mi Note Pro. MIUI is a good rom, EU, MI-GLOBE and Stock. But I felt like I wasn't satisfied until I tried this MOKEE.
I read many replies from all forum about MOKEE about how this rom affected their Mi Note Pros which they said it's slow, not stable and the temprature is hot. But Not until I tried and I keep this rom is installed to my mi note pro.
At first, the temprature was always hot and slow. It'a around 35c to 45c. I switched to root and installed xposed framework and greenify. The phone's temp is 28-29c at standby and around 35c when use.
The battery life is the most important thing !
I use amplify and battery saver 2017 . It's about the same life when I used MIUI, I'll say even better.
But I downloaded the rom directly from MOKEE website.
My opinion, I'll stick with MOKEE
You guys should try MOKEE
Thanks so much to MOKEE DEV
mr. IVANS aosp V7
Best rom
i flash yesterday.
a daily driver and up to date.
little bugs - but cosmetic

Errr
Although Miui are no longer updated but I want to say that the Miui is still the perfect choice in Mainland China, but if you are out of China, try and get some stock Android Roms such as ivan which you have mentioned. It may work smoother and better.

Guide me please

Hey, so first of all sorry for making a long post and I might repeat things for which there may be threads so sorry in advance regarding that, so moving on ,I just bought k20 Pro, while miui is awesome , I'm thinking of switching rom, but can't do it rn as I'll be traveling soon and don't want to risk bricking my phone, I'll do it asap after I return (in 1 week) so my questions are:
1) How to unlock bootloader?
2) How to flash recovery ? And which one , I've always used TWRP on earlier device, but some ppl I see here say Orangefox.
3)I know how to flash a ROM, but what is the vendor everyone keeps telling to flash and should that be flashed everytime installing new rom?
4) Do you lose support for hd in prime and Netflix after flashing rom? If yes how to bring it back (if possible ).
5) ROM recommendation! I've used Lineage os on my previous device, so close it would be good, recommend something which is stable and fast , I don't use much customisation, and should be close to stock Android, as less bugs as possible.
6) Anything I need to know about the device? Something which will help me in future.
Note:i I've upgraded to Miui 12 so please try base answers on that version. I have Indian version of phone.
Thank you to the folks reading this and answering!!

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader. This is from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Stick with TWRP. Get it from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568 get the latest version. Orange Fox is a good choice of you stick with MIUI or a MIUI based custom ROM. Otherwise TWRP is the better option. Flashing instructions are there. You shouldn't need to flash the vbmeta patcher.
Check out my guide here, read the thread as some of your questions are answered there including a basic overview of vendor and firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you are used to LOS, then you may as well stick with that. It's as stable as any ROM for this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t3976469/post80406191
If you stick with Indian firmware and vendor, you should keep widevine L1.
If you get in a mess, follow this guide from the official MIUI forums to restore the phone with a fastboot ROM.

Upgrading my XZ2c from Android 9 custom - lot of questions :)

Hello,
i've put in the old days and Android 9 Custom (52.0.A.11.3), can't remember which one.
I have now seen that there are official releases for Android 10 custom roms.
In the various rom thread, I've seen that there is need to get back to official Android 10 and to boot it.
What is the best option for me?
If I manage to upgrade, will I be able to move back and forth between them to give a try ?
Can all of them be considered as daily drivers ?
And final question, shall I do that, of is Android 9 still a good choice ?
Thanks a lot

suggestions for custom ROM´s (everday use, Cam)

Hi guys,
actually, I´m trying to bring my Mi9 back to life with a new battery. Since now, I´m on xiaomi.eu 12.5.6.
In order to keep my Mi9 updated, I tried to figure out, which Custom ROM I´d go for. Criteria are every day use (stability, battery lifetime, smoothness, security updates). Conclusion after reading the threads is that most official 11.0 ROMs do very well (for example crDroid, Havoc, …). Since twrp still doesn´t support encryption, I´d go for 11.0.
Another point is a good cam out of the box (using all lenses and features and compareable to stock quality). Or do I need to install gcam to reach this goal?
Thx in advance for suggestions, I know the question for „best ROM“ is pretty much too simple, but I´d like to get a starting point…
how did you get xiaomi.eu 12.5.6? I saw only chinese
