Community development strength - Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Real Life Review

Very bad. Almost all of the ROMs are based on Nougat, just there is a buggy Lineage OS 15.1 if you are looking for an Oreo Custom ROM. Xiaomi doesn't give Android Oreo support as Global Stable, so this causes amazingly lack of community support for Oreo. Just a garbage...
Edit: Official Pixel Experience and another Lineage OS 15.1 is released after Xiaomi has released the Oreo China Stable and kernel sources of it. The bugs will appear in the near future.
Edit 2: I installed Android Pie with success. Check my thread for more: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-3/how-to/guide-how-to-install-android-pie-xiaomi-t3841231

There is xiaomi Eu Rom working good.
There is nougat and oreo sources.
Device not popular then there is no custom rom (no = worth to install)

Almost bad...

Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ?

Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?
I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.
There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.
Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

Yes we have so many good devs for this beast and the one man army codeworkx also.
we have awesome developer only major roadblock is leeco itself they neither are releasing any updates nor releasing IR blaster and camera blobs.
@codeworkx is one man army and he is the only hope for lineage sources .
Yes, we have very good developer support but without camera and IR blaster fix it is not worth to switch to custom ROMs also lineage doesn't have real nougat UI instead its old marshmallow UI
Hoping to get a fully functional ROM is future.
Xlent devs and community
Owning a Le Eco Le S2, and a Pro3 I can attest that both Lineage OS and Paranoid Android are fairly stable.
Some small issues on the S2, as mentioned above. Though it was a daily driver on LOS 14.1 for about a month with only a couple crashes, both times phone would freeze while making a call, on Bluetooth, via voice prompts with Android Auto open. So it's very much an edge case.
S3 X626 compatibility
This is compatible with the one indicated S3 X626
or have a forum or open topics of which S3
I want to know about rom and pre-installed applications
example I found that the fast battery was getting hot and freezing
I saw that application (com.letv.android.personalized) had a CPU consumption of 88%
every time I start the force close application Custom Service
in this way I get it to work well
in the same way I would like to know about pre-installed applications and know which ones I can eliminate
thanks
Some of the post above are out of date. Yes, there are many options for the L2 and all of its Snapdragon variations EX: X5** Series. My kids both have the X522 and are using custom roms without any issue to speak of. Currently they are both using Lineage one is using 15.1 and the other is using Codeworks 14.1. At this time, I would recommend Codeworks version.

You seem to have dabbled with custom ROMS on this device. My question is, have you found a good/working fix for the glaring shortcomings of most custom Nougat and Oreo ROMS. I'm talking about the camera problems in N ROMS and encryption issues in Oreo ROMS. There are Pie ROMS out now but I can't pull the trigger on anything other than stock or stock-based ROMS because my phone is a daily driver.

My personal phones are X727's both using Pie as daily drivers, with te Arnova Pixel Mod Gcam.
My daughter has a X522 with Lineage 15.1 Oreo, My Son still using dotOS Oreo, both with ATT service, and is using the Arnova Pixel ported Camera - no issues as daily drivers. Stock does not compare to these new Roms. We haven't installed Pie on my kids phones yet. but it is my understanding that it is very stable.
If you try a newer Rom, Use firmware by Codeworks, and avoid the issues that so many with a X5XX seem to have with GPS, WIFI and mobile.

Thanks. My le 2 just arrived. I think I'll try every stable(ish) custom ROM out there and settle on one. I really haven't used any Nougat or Oreo phone so I have little to compare my Marshmallow to. Guess I'll just try them out to see the new features and if I find a stable enough one, I'll stick with it. But stability always trumps fancy features that I might use once a fortnight.

Again, I haven't tried Pie on the Le 2 yet ( we have X522's - you may not be aware that X522, X526 etc are all the same phone) I would start with Pie. IF PIE ( android 9.0) performs nearly as well on your device as it does for the Le Pro 3, it will be the one you like the most.
Pie, is stable, beautiful, has amazing battery life etc.
Enjoy

Yeah, I'm taking Stock EUI for a day's ride and thereafter try two EUI-based ROMS then I'm off to pie. There's one particular version that's very actively being developed so I'll probably land there first.

Loved the support given by the devs. They have created s o many beautiful roms. Devs are kind and always ready to help. Great support.
As the s2 gets older and older, devs are gradually abandoning it. It's Glory days are over and just a handful of devs are still making ROMs for this device and maintaining them. Also afaik, only overload kernel is the kernel still being actively developed. Development on all other kernels have seized. It's painful to see the community slowly die but that's the harsh reality.

Miui-based Roms vs AOSP-based

I am new to moding on mi max 2.
My question is :
What are the advantages of flashing an AOSP-based rom like the unofficial lineageos versions posted here which are in beta in contrast with something like epicrom which is miui global-dev based with added features and customizations on top (and arguably more stable) ?
(also I have to install gapps, root and pretty much everything manually. And I also won't have over the air updates like some miui based Roms offer, so I have to come here and wipe everything to flash a newer version)
Please enlighten me if you have made comparisons yourself and know the differences.

First and the very important, battery life. Lineage OS wipes out Miui when it comes to battery life.
Personal Opinion
In my experience people flash custom roms like lineage os because they either want to give a new look to there phone experience or for the latest security patches or the stock firmware for there phone doesnt include the features they want
yep, nicely summed up
looks / UI, security patches, newer android version (miui is still on 7.1.1), features, battery life, having something "custom" on your phone

Unfortunately because Mediatek doesn’t release full device source for MT6752 and others chipsets , developing a full stable & fluid Rom is not easily possible.
from Oreo , Android structure is completely changed and current available kernels like Renice are not suitable for later androids like Oreo, pie or 10.
If you search for other devices that use this chipset (MT6752) , you see that all of them stops at Oreo with huge of bugs and while other devices with weaker chips ( like Nokia 1 ) will receive even android 10 , but our device with such a great power cannot go further , that’s because Mediatek do not provide Full device source , While Qualcomm provide this sources for every devices , and phones with Snapdeagon cpus can receive maximum available android version.

I'm at the dawn of my phone's custrom age, and you could save me some pain if you'd tell me your opinion. What's the best one for daily use, if you like fancy things and hate things not working?

unfortunately for us the only way to know is to try them all out since theyre all still new (@skittels15 and @IAmDeadlylxrd ). download and usage stats do say hundreds, but many of users arent here. itd be much better if they were all encouraged to join the XDA and share their experiences but yeah, what else can we do?
im currently on crdroid 07-05 and honestly i find it stable enough for daily usage (i dont play games on droids). apart from 100% 'my bads' i havent noticed anything major, @mrjoker18 has tried a ton of them though.
and honestly with the current ROM devs, id suggest to not try GSIs
To answer my own question: I'm on the SakuraOS official ROM for the past few days, and it is literally flawless. Everything works down to the tiniest stuffs, no glitches despite my serious tweaking and testing, and it's super smooth, pretty and customizable. SafetyNet works too.
Frankly, it feels like a proper manufacturer OS. Better than the original MIUI.
I also tried DotOS before it for a week, which was nice, but had a few glitches. GPS didn't work, couldn't record video with the included camera app, and I had some random reboot and freezes. I also prefer SakuraOS's look TBH.

Аll @IAmDeadlylxrd's and my roms tested and not have critical bugs and recommended for daily use. Don't panic about bugs. And all roms tested by maintainers and some users from our Telegram-communities. All roms is tested before release to public.
About DotOS: this rom have bugged sourcecode. All device-specified bugs was fixed long time ago in device tree. All roms have only rom's source-specified bugs.
