>Since when do you use it?
3 months

>Are you satisfied?
Overall yes.

>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
xiaomi.eu ROM, which is MIUI with less bloat.
Would use CM if there was a good CM ROM.

>What's your battery life like?
Usually I charge it every second night.

>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Autobrightness is not working very well, pretty bad actually
I sometimes have problems with mobile data connections
I also hate that the minimal volume of the speakers, when on a call, is still too loud... why not let the user make the speakers as silent as they want? Dumb

Otherwise it works perfectly.

Also are you guys using a screen protector?
I mean this phone doesn't have gorilla glass.

I'm not using a screen protector and still after all this time my screen looks like brand new. Guess they are using something very similar to gorilla glass.

>Since when do you use it?
Been using it for 2-3 months now
>Are you satisfied?
Absolutely
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
CM13 without custom kernel, but with a couple of xposed modules and tweaked dpi.
>What's your battery life like?
9h sot, 2-3 days of use
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
There's a really small gap in the lower body. It's invisible and can't be felt, but leads to a creaking noise when I hold it with my fingers supporting the bottom.
I also have issues with the auto brightness

>>57144572
>Sep 2016
>Very much
>MIUI 7.5.2.0
>amazing, just as /g/ told me
>had a bit of public wifi problems last month but it's gone now

>>57144666
It's using monkey glass,!

>>57144666
Same

Though I caved in and bought one (and a case) after a month of use.

>Since when do you use it?
Four months
>Are you satisfied?
I am 120 USD of satisfied
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Some Pajeet CM13 build off XDA. Last time I looked official CM13 builds were ass.
>What's your battery life like?
About four days. I only use it on the commute to and from work, and to play LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival.
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Lock button seems to be broken, it only works 40% of the time.

rmn3p, 2 motnths - 7.3 global stable, satisfied enough, battery time is great but sometimes the fingerprint scanner is not repsonding well and once it blocked completly, also I got screen frozen once, couldnt do anything and had to reboot - I hope it's not gonna be happening again and again

> 2 months
> Absolutely, it's excellent for the price (even though I've the 2GB version)
> Resurrection Remix with Radon kernel (pic related). I also have installed some xposed modules, adaway and changed the DPI a bit.
> So far the battery has fit pretty well my daily use, I never ran out of juice.
> The goodix fingerprint sensor isn't that stable on custom ROMs, this meaning that it can only read my finger at a certain position. Also the Headphone jack only works when you plug it fast, if you take some time putting it in, it won't work.

Overall it's an excellent phone with no major problems, just a few quirks. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This phone costs like $300CAD on Amazon. Is there anywhere that has it for something more reasonable?

>>57144856
Aliexpress, Gearbest (went fine with me), Honorbuy and a ton other chinkshit shops

>>57144856
the far east, anon

Took me a while to realize that there's a different hardware revision for the international version. That made rooting and flashing a very bricky process for a few days

Redmi owners: do you have issues with getting push notifications? I've seen many reports about whatsapp/kik/messenger etc not getting new messages until you open the app.

and how buggy is MiUi in general?

>t. potential buyer

>>57145001
>do you have issues with getting push notifications?
Nope, never

Also you can set messengers and stuff to be unaffected by the battery management. Then you definitely get push messages as they come.

>>57145001
Nothing but I'm on CM rather than MIUI. There might be problems on MIUI but they're not hardware (or at least, not my hardware).

>>57145001
>and how buggy is MiUi in general?
The UI itself is very stable, even on developer ROM.

It's more the kernel drivers or configurations that make problems sometimes (battery saver not letting push messages though, auto brightness working weirdly, ...)

xiaomi eu latest beta, radon 2.9
>>What's your battery life like?

>>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Lags and the well known proximity sensor bug.

>>57145344
>well known proximity sensor bug.
?

>>57145394
Screen remains off during a call and it's impossible to wake up, it only works again when the caller ends the call.

annoying as fuck

>>57145421
never happened to me

>>57145421
Never had this problem. And I was on all kind of ROMs now.

>>57145421

for the first time, to sat the truth; screen remanined black and unresponsive after I moved phone away from ear

>>57145446
>>57145447
>>57145471
That happens only if your phone has the sensortek proximity sensor, that's a shitty bug that miui devs needs to fix.

That shit works fine in cm/rr/aosp.

yes it's a bug that happened on miui 7.

ok, can anyone on miui8 tell if is it ok or not? I heard that there's shitload of bugs and problems; battery drain, high temperature, LTE not working, some options cut out from apps, like camera

is it true?

>>57145593
>battery drain, high temperature, LTE not working, some options cut out from apps, like camera

I'm on MIUI8 and never had one of these problems.

>>57145421
Never had this on CM. I use gravity screen which uses the proximity sensor for the lock screen and that has never had a problem

>>57144666
>>57144666
I'd like to get one along with a case, but I dunno which fits the International version.

>>57144851
This one looks cool.

>>57145421
Good.
My older phone's sensor never seemed to work and the screen lit up even when I had it on my face and I was afraid of ending the call by mistake.

Can someone with an Xiaomi.eu ROM look in the task manager if something called /whetstone/ is active?

I've just got my rn3p today and was wondering how good is the official CM stable? I'm getting conflicting news about it on this thread.

It will be a new batch 99% though

>>57146596
From what date is a new batch?
I am also getting mine today.

>>57146596

The only date I see on the box is on the lower right and it has 2016.06 on it.

>Since when do you use it?
2 weeks
>Are you satisfied?
Yes, overall
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
custom latest MIUI
>What's your battery life like?

>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Poor signal strength sometimes, with new ROM, which comes weekly, it's better every week.

>>57146651
its 99% going to be a batch 2 or batch 3 device tbqh which means you should just stick to miui.

>>57146633
Mine is from 06/2016 and it's a new batch.

I guess phones which were produced 2015 or early 2016 are old batch

>>57146651

Any way we can find out what we have?

>>57146677
>>57146696

Oh ok. If the issue is just the fingerprint sensor and the front Camera then I can leave without it. Mostly gonna be using it for Clover, Mobage, manga and reading QR code.

>>57146748

Is there a way to check the hardware being used my my phone?

>>57146808
>>57146804

hwinfo or something like that, from play store. I've find out the hard way. Installed CM13 and figure out that my main camera isn't working.

I'm currently using a iPhone 6s Plus and I would like to change to this phone because I want expandable storage and an OS that's not cucking the shit out of me and the price is nice, is it worth it?

>>57145943
Look at the permissions and the cpu time. Its 99% pure chinese botnet

Did anyone here opt for the version with 3 gigs of ram? How is it?

>>57145421
Never had this on Resurrection Remix, might be a MIUI thing. I didn't play with MIUI that long before switching.

>>57148401
It's a good phone for an immensely good value, but you're coming from a walled-garden flagship and will probably create a platform war shitpost thread after 2 days of use because the chinese bloatware annoys you and you think rooting and flashing a custom rom is too much hassle to get your money's worth out of a budget phone.

I haven't played around with MIUI for too long. It's very nice, but you need their fucking Mi account for absolutely everything and I did not feel like embracing the chinese botnet. So I'd recommend installing a custom ROM in any case. But ymmv, MIUI is not bad, after all

>>57148561
Well I was under the assumption I was going to put a custom rom on it anyways, I'm not your typical Apple hipster otherwise I wouldn't even be on /g/ aslong retarded questions I just wanted some opinions but thanks for your advice anyways

>>57148680
no, really, give me examples because I'm in the dark here

>>57148711
In that case, it's a great device. I think there's lots of valuable info in this thread to keep reading. The variations in hardware (on top of the kate/kenzo split) have proven to be a pain in the ass for rom/kernel devs, but I haven't had a single problem with mine.

RN3P owner here with a stupid question

If I want to go from miui dev to miui stable do I just factory reset abd flash via twrp? Talking about xiaomi EU versions btw.

>>57148930
No, flash via edl.

>>57144572
> Since when do you use it?
A few months?

> Are you satisfied?
Yes. I wished they still had the old recovery where you could just flash whatever though.

It was much better than the current unlocking nonsense with this shitty stock recovery the device has.

Shit, it made getting rid of 3rd party bloatware ROMs more painful rather than preventing them from being installed at all.

> Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Stock MIUI with root.

> What's your battery life like?
I recharge about every 3 days in most cases.

My battery is the same as everyone elses though, so that's more about my usage I guess?

> Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Again, the recovery and locking business suck, conceptually and in terms of details.

And that the global developer ROM doesn't have stock root, unlike the Chinese developer ROM.

>>57148680
The offcial global ROMs have fairly little extra bloatware installed.

You probably got a chink rom or vendor rom and didn't follow /csg/'s advice to unlock and flash them away immediately on receiving the phone to minimize risks and inconvenience.

>>57148623
Thanks for the tip anon, was about to do it. Sorry about your phone though

>>57149063
Why even bother with the official unlock? Unofficial is easy as fuck to do and in the unlikely event that you have a service partner nearby, you can always fully restore and send it in under warranty

>>57149203
Updates relocked the phone for me, and there even was trouble with signatures.

It was annoying to maintain that when I tried it.

>>57149260
>Updates relocked the phone for me
Oh yeah, forgot about that, you're right. I believe there are patched TWRP recovery images that avoid the issue, but I'm not on MIUI any longer so I stopped caring

>>57149308
Yea, that should work then. I personally want MIUI.

Well, maybe if they keep it up I'll decide that it's not worth the effort - but for now, switching to stock or CWM or such feels worse.

>>57144572
4 more generations and they'll start taking us out.

power button has an annoying tendency to double click
there's a small gap all around the screen where dirt and dead skin can accumulate

>>57144844
Also using RR + Radon and have the same problems mentioned.

I agree though, great phone. Had it for about 3 months, no regrets.

>>57148962
Ia that always necessary for going between largely different versions?

did anyone get cerberus working on this device?

All y'all faggots boasting about 8+ SoT and several days usage:

Do you have Google services installed? Social media apps? Greenify yea or no? Personally I don't think greenify works properly on miui dev versions. I still get a fuckload of wakelocks.

>>57149805
If your bootloader is unlocked you can do it via fastboot. but EDL is easy and you can do it on locked bootloaders too.

I'm talking about official versins btw, for xiaomi.eu roms you need this:

>Are you satisfied?

>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Just MiUI 8, would like to wait if there was a stable CM nougat release.
>What's your battery life like?
Still very good. I don't have any apps that run in the background besides Skype, YouTube and my mail client
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
I've enabled app lock for most of my apps, one of them being Skype. Often I get important calls and I have to first unlock my phone through fingerprint, but often I can't unlock the app with my fingerprint while it's ringing, I don't know why. I can unlock it with a code though.

I bought another one as a gift, flashed the global ROM and they love the phone too.

I'm thinking about buying this phone as a gift on Gearbest. What is the best time to purchase Halloween or Black Friday, in terms of price?

No shit. If you don't flash it there's all sorts of unwanted garbage on there including what they don't want you to see typical of any chink phone.

>>57149839

Yes. But minimal

>Social media apps?
Only whatsapp, if that counts

>Greenify yea or no? Personally I don't think greenify works properly on miui dev versions. I still get a fuckload of wakelocks.
Greenify is not really needed on MIUI. Just use the built-in battery saving features and configure them to your needs.

>>57150058
>there's all sorts of unwanted garbage
Not really. There really isn't much bloatware on global rom. Even less if you use xiaomi.eu.

>>57150140
It's mostly android system and Google services as always. I only started with a fresh install like a week ago. Always seems to be a gamble whether you will get plagued by wakelocks or not.

>>57150158
This. I managed to get rid of maybe another ~80mb of stuff off the xiaomi EU roms but what the fuck is another 80mb gona do for a rom that's ~1gb and running a pretty decent cpu? On top of that most of the stuff I deleted didn't seem to run in the background anyway.

>>57150209
Yeah, I have similar experiences.

I only wish you could somehow disable MiCloud. I mean you can, but it is still there in a lot of system apps like the gallery, settings, notes just showing that stuff isn't synced.

>Getting rid of the search bar in the notification area is nice too.
How to do it?

For some reason when I had MIUI 8.0 on android 5.0, the phone kept dropping my signal or saying it had not sim when it was in the phone.

I flashed CM13 which upgraded android os to 6.0 and now my phone is fine and swell. No longer dropping my signal or saying theres no sim.

how do i know if i have kate or kenzo?

>>57150911
Measure it. kate is 152 mm, kenzo 150mm.

>>57150944

>Since when do you use it?

>Are you satisfied?
It seems OK so far. I think I should've got something a bit better but it's good, I'll probably upgrade again within the next year and keep it as a backup after that.
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
CM13
>What's your battery life like?
Seems to drain really fast, I need to see if it can be optimised.
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Nothing so far.

>>57151052
By the way, another way to tell is Kenzo comes in a Chinese box, kate comes in an English box.

If it's a snapdragon 652, better camera and a couple of bucks more I would have taken that instead.

>Since when do you use it?
Half a year.
>Are you satisfied?
Yes
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
CM13
>What's your battery life like?
7H sot, charging every other day.
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
MIUI was utter shit. Nothing worked as it should, there were force closes and I never got notifiations. CM13 works nice tho

>>57151382
The MTK version is like 33% more expensive than any version of the RN3, seems unlikely to me that the SD version of RN4 will be less than $250.

>>57151645
We are all talking about kenzo and kate ofc.

>>57150025
How are the headphones?

RR + Radon best combo?

>>57151168
Which phone would you get instead?

>>57151168
>going out of your way to add something like buddy or pal to a sentence on an anonymous image board where nobody knows anyone

I don't get it, is it an autism thing?

>>57155346
Perhaps you're the autistic one instead?

>>57155214
I would just buy the RN3 Special Edition. You can easily flash custom recovery and CM13, don't even need to unlock the bootloader.

>>57155346
Why does it matter? I'm just being friendly.

Best phone I ever bought, could not be happier with miui 7.1

Posting from my phone now

Just hard finding a decent case

>>57155346
You are the autistic.

Being friendly is nice, but your lack of education is a shame.

What phone should I buy now, RN3P 3/32 or RN4 3/64 (MTK X20)? Same prices, but I like the design of the RN4 much better. Or should I wait for RN4P (SD650/652)?

>>57155744
yes

>>57155744
The 4 may be a good option when it has a Snapdragon. The only way to answer this question is to know how much you really want a phone now.

I wish Xiaomi would make a phone exactly like the note 3 but with a 2.5d screen and a colorful plastic black. That would be the dream right there

Had mine since July, best phone I've used.

Using CM13 nightly and radon kernel, I update both every other week. Battery life is at least 9 hours of SoT with max adaptive brightness, and I use a bluetooth smartbracelet and bluetooth gamepad often with PSP emulation (playing crisis core right now). If I were to use it like my HTC One M7 that struggled to get 4hrs SoT, I'd

CM13 works fine. MIUI had some bug relating to music that would cause a wakelock to set in until reboot otherwise the battery would drain with less than 6 hours SoT. I kept trying the latest betas and they never fixed it, happened with poweramp but not with the stock music program.

Camera has no image stabilization and sucks in the dark, but seems to do better than my other phones I've had anyways.

How easy it is to flash a ROM to this phone made me a xiaomi fan.

>Since when do you use it?
Since Q1 or Q2, got the MediaKek Hennesy version, since Qualcomm Kenzo wasn't announced yet. Tho, I just bought Kenzo for my gf.

>Are you satisfied?
Absolutely. Got it free from work and use it as a work/personal phone with dual sims.

>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Still using seller's "global" ROM. Its just china ROM translated to english. Tried unlocking and flashing to xiaomi.eu, but this is babby's first android and I somehow can't even get to fastboot mode with volume down + power.

>What's your battery life like?
2-3 days with some whatsapp use.

>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Fingerprint reader stops working randomly, but gets fixed with a reboot.

I got this one, feels good, looks good - especially on black rn3p

>>57144572
Should I buy one for my sister even though she isn't into tech?

>>57155841
Yeah there is, there are just some places in US where you'll only get 3G internet speed, doesn't matter when you're on wifi

.When trying to unlock the bootloader of muh redmeme it appears I need to change the os to the dev version, but updating from the updater app gives me a fuck you when point it to the dev version zip.
How many of you rooted redmemers have said fuck it, and did the hack method without unlocking the bootloader?
This is all getting tiresome.

How is everyone here getting 2-3 days battery life on stock MIUI. I'm only getting about a day and a hafl with MUIU 7

>>57156440
Depends on usage. Post some stats.

>>57156518
Andoird and Android system frequiently take up most of the space.

It's just battery drainage I think. I barely use it and put it on standby. I just drained 3 percent in the last 30 minutes lmao

>>57155841
You should be fine in areas with band 4 coverage, ATT its been confirmed working in Mexico and USA under band for LTE

Anyone have a link to where they bought their RN3P special edition from? Too many chink sellers dont know which is best.

So I got an RN3P in the past week. What's the safest way to root it? That's all I want to do, I'm fine with MIUI for now.

Just got this phone 2nd hand (2 months use, snapdragon) for a 90 $, it still have miui in it, which rom should i install and is it possible to remove all the chink botnets in it?

>>57156706
Me again, battery life is top notch, more than any other shit

Is any of the Xiaomi's official roms multilanguage? Or do you have to install a Xiaomi.eu rom?

I've got a friend ready to pull the trigger on a Mi5s but he wants to have a debloated MIUI in Spanish.

>>57156719
Just install cm 13 along with radon kernel. Best combo

>>57156546
Yeah no something's up. Are you rooted? Get betterbatterystats or wakelocks detector installed then you'll have more details as to what's causing it.

Most frequent issue I have is android system or Google services destroying battery life and it always seems a gamble after I factory reset whether I get it to not.

Is the difference between the snapdragon and MK10 cpu big?

I fucked up and diddnt order the pro version.

ordered mine from top one and it has something they call "global rom"

do they flash the official one or should i just flash it again with the official one by myself, and should i go for developer or stable rom if im planning to stay on MIUI

>>57156942
Cancel that fucking order you retard. The mtk version doesn't have anywhere near as many devs working on kernels and roms.

>>57157052
Its shipped already.

Fuck me I'm feeling like a moron now.

Where can I find a decent international rom?

>>57157076
You can't. You really can't.

>>57157121
Fuck me, will I be able to return it to china, I bought it on banggood and I just read they have a 3 day do not like policy.


Fuck I feel so bad right now.

>>57157076
Xiami.eu

>>57157152
Just send it back as soon as you get it and tell the seller you bought the wrong thing. If you have enough money then order something before you get the refund. If you have to wait for refund to buy again you'll be waiting forever.

I hope you learnt your lesson you fuckwit.

>>57157349
Never order shit when you are excited.

Thanks man, although I dont know how reliable those chinks are, they may try to jew me out.

>Since when do you use it?
Been using it since April

>Are you satisfied?
Yes

>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
MIUI8

>What's your battery life like?
I'm pretty OCD about charging my phone but it can last me a full day out, as long as I turn off data and WiFi when I'm not using it and adjust brightness accordingly

>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
the brightness adjustment bar pisses me off.. The first 10% of it is really dark and then it gets super bright
Fingerprint scanner doesn't always work properly
Apps like SoundCloud at times quit without warning, but this could be an issue with SC itself
Awful lag that forced me to factory reset my phone 2-3 times
Most of the bugs are with MIUI. The only reason I have not installed another ROM is cause I've not heard of anything better (that has all of the features of MIUI)

>>57148930
http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Sign up the a Miui account and apply for unlocking permissions. Took me like two weeks to get mine approved.

Then you can just use their super easy pleb mode kit to flash ROMs without any dumping or hacking to unlock the bootloader.

>>57157493
Different anon, but the official unlocking process is the one with the risk of stopping at 50%, right? Is that like a soft brick scenario or can I just quit the process if it happens to me?

>>57157493
It's unlocked senpai. Just wanted to make sure I don't fuck it up.

>>57157529
You can do over if that happens. Just take the usual precautions when you flash something:

* Full charge your laptop and phone before starting,
* Keep them plugged in,
* Close unnecessary programs on your computer before your start running the flash, reduces the chance of being fucked by some other process hogging memory from the flash.

Even if the official one goes super bad, there is an unofficial hard flashing method that works even when the you've bricked it.

wut

are you sure you just didn't fuck something up relating to the firmwares? there's ways of ending up with NO SIM CARD problems by flashing things the wrong way

>>57157614
Not had this error message but did have the unlock tool stall at 50%. I ran it again and it worked the next time. Are you on a custom ROM?

You can also use this method to brute force flash without unlocking: http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html

It really is a good phone. After 3 weeks (immediately flashed CM13):
> my phone came with a Goodix fingerprint sensor. Only recently has it started getting ROM support and despite their best efforts it has some glitches, like short periods of time where it will simply refuse to accept a finger. Plus CM14 still isn't supported because most devs have the older fingerprint sensor
> the location of the headphone jack is annoying. You can't tell which way the phone is facing easily when you pick it up, and when headphones are connected I always end up facing the wrong side toward me. I'll get used to it though.

>>57157717
Yes I'm sure. I've tried anything, SIM is detected.
2 days in the Xiaomi discord and we've tried a gorillion things. It's ded

>>57157753
Agreed, but it's nice to know you have options if you attempt to flash properly and fuck it up. This works even if you can't get anything to load on your device.

>>57157750

>Since when do you use it?
I've had mine like 2-3 months now.
>Are you satisfied?
Best phone I've ever had.
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Official CM13 Nightlies + Xposed with Open Gapps Pico, I flashed some pajeet kernel I think, on advice from the official CM13 XDA thread, don't think this made a difference tho
>What's your battery life like?
Absolutely insane - days and days. Use Amplify, but I am a light user. I would say with heavy Pajeet screen on time levels 1-2 days.
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Very very occasional (think this has happened two or three times in total) short freezes, occasional "service has stopped working" window (handful of times total), only things that do not work are front facing camera and fingerprint scanner (depends on the hardware you have) overall it's probably the most stable android experience I've ever had.


Tl;dr buy it, buy it now. Kenzo not Kate obviously

>>57157938
just read the thread: to clarify the camera that doesn't work is the selfie one. the normal one works but that's really my only "complaint" with the handset, it's shit

>>57157889
Always flash it, custom reseller's are confirmed for putting extra shite on their releases. If you go to MIUI (Global Stable/Dev) or one of the custom ROMs is up to you, but you should flash it yourself regardless of what you choose.

>>57157938
I've bought Kate like 3 days ago, what's wrong with this version except for less accessories like cases

>>57153524
I can personally attest to the Piston 3's being very, very good.

Other alternatives welcome too

If you are going to try MIUI at least for the start, which one is the recommended one, Global Dev, or Global Stable or xiaomi.eu ROM? I would like to have latest features etc. but not a piece of shit which crashes every two seconds and has lots of bugs

>>57158923
Wow I almost want to buy the phone seeing that case. Normally it looks quite tacky

>>57158988
In terms of features, global dev is totally fine. Depending on how old it is, it could still have the old quick-settings in the notifications-bar, which are kinda shit in terms of usability.

global dev is mostly also working very stable, and updated more often, like every week.

xiaomi.eu is based on the chinese dev rom, which is the most current rom. It is in my opinion very similar to the global dev rom, but some apps (like IR blaster app) are newer than the one used in the global dev, because they are translated versions from the chinese dev version. Also xiaomi.eu has less MIUI apps. I don't remember which, but xiaomi.eu has only the "essential" MIUI apps and also has less google apps. The global dev versions have the complete gapps package, while xiaomi.eu just has the google core apps and you need to install what you want.

In terms of stability they are all pretty stable. I personally prefer xiaomi.eu. But I also had global dev in the past and it was pretty fine as well.

>>57159131
Which ROM are you on?
Is MIUI set up with your MIUI account on which you got approved for unlocking and with which you logged in in the unlocking tool?

>>57159171
Developer from Special Edition since mine is.
Yes, same account, even checked the i.mi.com page to verify

>>57159116
Thanks, since i was pretty confused about these versions

I guess as a jewgle user i am going to probably go with the global dev version then, the phone should come with stable global but no idea will it be a vendor rom or the real one

I already got bootloader unlocking ability from xiaomi, should i just open it even if im not probably going to use custom ROMs at least for the beginning

>>57159179
Are you sure you're on Dev and not Stable? I know it's confirmed to work on Chinese Dev (that ROM has an English mode).

>>57159236
Yep.
Says Beta on About Phone.
Should I try the China version? Wouldn't that brick the phone?

>>57159244
>China version
I thought special edition doesn't have a chinese rom??

>>57159244
Worth a try if it shows up in the updater.

It's also worth trying to reinstall/download it all, turning it all off-and-on, and logging in with a different set of credentials (you can log in with phone number or email or miui id).

>>57159179
well, the xiaomi.eu dev also can't unlock his kate rn3. Seems to be hit or miss. Maybe try it a few times?

Updated to V8.0.4.0 on my Kate. It freed up like 700 MB of RAM. Good stuff even though I didn't experience lag or some shit before.

>>57159286
How much RAM is free when you have no apps running?

With kenzo and xiaomi.eu here I have mostly between 1.6 and 1.9 GB.

Fuck I'm so happy.

Not true though.

Whatever, I must have been really lucky to receive a magical kate that works without any issue whatsoever

>>57159814
So you got a kate device which not only has the same hardware as the first batch (which is still supported by outdated xiaomi kernel source) but also you got to unlock it and install CM and it works without problems? Do you get the LTE bands of the special edition?

How can it runs on kate without problems if it doesnt even run for later kenzo batches without problems?

You sure you don't have kenzo?

Friend recommended it to me.

>>57160122
Using an old build from this thread on a Kenzo device without problems. Have to use a patched TWRP rather than the official one otherwise it wont boot when you first flash, but you can change version if you want after (unsure why you'd want to).

Also, you have to use the MIUI patched xposed with this ROM.

How come there are no western devs working on roms? It's literally 99% pajeets working on kernels and ROMs. Hence a lot of them suck... I guess.

>>57160760
A lot of western devs hate working with pajeets. Good projects are outsourced to pajeets to solve (think a million monkeys with a million typewriters) and then a competent dev comes in at the end to wrap it up.

We'll see a good western build when/if CM14 gets good and Xiaomeme releases updated kernal sources.

There's no reason you should be using cm13.

MIUI is the most stable and every single feature works across all the variations.

I'll probably switch when cm14 comes out but yeah MIUI for now.

Dare I say I find cm/AOSP ugly as fuck compared to miui

Only issues I have with MIUI is that it is not as snappy as cm, but it's equally smooth and doesn't lag, it just has an inherent delay when launching stuff for some reason.

The baked in greenify is awesome when you get it working right

>>57161151
Most reliable way is to restore all partitions to the partitions you backed up before you flashed CM in TWRP and then use the mi updater.

You did do that, didn't you anon?

Anybody using this with t-mobile? It looks like the bands match but I haven't seen any reviews.

I don't give a fuck and I'm giving out (you)s because I managed to unlock the bootloader
The miui PCsuit updated my OS to 8.0.1.0 and than the bootunlocker SUDDENLY started working,

You can request the bootloader unlock, CM works flawlessly on the first batch devices but has quite some problems on the later batches related to drivers
>>57155744
GSMArena claims the RN4 is better value than the RN3P, you get slower single thread performance though better build quality, camera and multi-threaded/GPU performance
But MediaTek is usually awful in custom rom support, so you will probably be stuck with MIUI, also single thread performance has quite more impact than multi-threaded performance, and the GPU difference is minimal
RN4P might come with a Snapdragon SoC, but it probably will be priced around 250, which is ZUK Z2 and Mi5 territory

>>57162830
i don't see your issue? perfectly fine for a phone in this pricerange

Is it alright to order from Aliexpress? I was looking at Top-One's page, and it seems legitimate.

question regarding the mi flash tool
it wants some files to exist in the rom image, http://en.miui.com/static/article/innerimg/tongyong/tongyong-3-2.jpg (from http://en.miui.com/thread-307744-1-1.html)
but all the global roms from http://en.miui.com/download-301.html
have a completely different structure and the flasher tells me to fuck off, any tips?

>>57163370
nvm, I needed the tar files they have, not the zips

Will the official TWRP work on Special Edition RN3P?

twrp hasn't worked on my stable build, otherwise no idea
I'm trying to switch to dev to see if it fixes it

>>57163533
Thanks, then I guess I'm ordering. How responsive is the screen? I had a BLU phone that had me press extra hard to get it to register.

>>57163566
It's very responsive.

>Can we have a thread dedicated to this phone?
No
>>Since when do you use it?
2 months
>>Are you satisfied?
Yep
>>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Cyan
>>What's your battery life like?
Several days. More than enough.
>>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
I wasted several weeks doing that mi unlock application bullshit when unofficial unlock was an option

>>57161057
Bought mine at aliexpress (top one) and they shipped it in 8 or 9 days, don't remember. But actually the shipping just took like 4 days and the other days was just them "preparing" the shipment or whatever the fuck they were doing.

>Since when do you use it?
Since July
>Are you satisfied?
nah. probably a defective unit.
>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?
Currently MIUI global + radon
>What's your battery life like?
This is why I am not satisfied.
It was fine for 2 weeks, now I can not get my RN3P anywhere near the advertised battery life, again probably a defective unit.

I've tried CM, custom kernels, reflashing, fully wiping + clean flash, full wipe + mi flash, basically everything anyone suggested ever.

I can not get this device to function well
>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?
Battery life.


If anyone has any tips please post them.

(It's the international version though)

>>57162309
Why does that matter? It's Android, you can just change everything if you want to

>>57163897
Sounds like a sw issue.
Try a complete MIUI flash with fastboot. Maybe you installed some shitty firmware or something. With fastboot you should be able to get it to stock conditions. Then check battery life again.

http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

>>57162279
Which batch?
Which rom/kernel?

>>57164091
I've done that expect i put it in fastboot EDL, does it give the same result?

>>57164103
i ment >>57164061
sorry

So the screen with your phone and a usb cable is only suppose to appear as recovery before I've unlocked the device...so why is it that it's still there afterwards?

>>57163897
So what sort of battery life DO you get? Post some fucking info nigger. Even a fucking screenshot of android battery usage charts and what screen on time you're getting.

Does the international/special edition version come only in Dark Gray or are there different colours as well? I'm leaning towards buying the white/silver version but it's the chinkchong version only from what I've seen.

After going through all the trouble of trying to do it the way the chinks wanted me to do it with the bootloader crap I have been tough a valuable lesson, that I shouldn't have bothered. In the end the way to solve the issue is always through a gross hack that ignores the developers intentions, and that's how it should be.
Thank you asian sages for bestowing this wisdom on me, HEIL ROOT.

The camera seemed bad compared to the one plus one i got instead

>>57165048
>buy rn3p
>request unlock while I wait for device
>half hour after I received it the bootloader was unlocked

You must have been really unlucky or did something wrong because it was a piece of piss.

>>57165104
It's acceptable for the price considering the rest of the specs but its definitely a downgrade from my old S5 camera. Front facing camera is better though but I don't really use it.

>>57165300
the phone and the miui tools were convinced the bootloader was unlocked - but it wasnt
every time I tried to unlock it after that I got told it was unlocked, maybe it was a freak accident, or maybe chinks hate me or maybe the guy who sold it to me over ali fucked it who knows

>>57165348
I'm guessing you followed all the guides properly and whatnot? There are plenty of posts on the xiaomi forum about unlock procedure stopping at 50% or other issues but most of them are human errors and the rest never really figure out why its not working. I think you might have just been unlucky. You never know, the next version of the unlock tool might just work.

Annoyance with my particular device? It has a rear camera module that seems to be new and relatively rare so not many devs have incorporated the drivers into their roms/kernels yet. It's a chink device at chink prices at the end of the day.

>>Since when do you use it?

February maybe?

>>Are you satisfied?

Absolutely. Cam is only drawback.

>>Which ROM/kernel/patches are you using?

Santhosh's CM14 with stock kernel

>>What's your battery life like?

I use it very heavily, maybe a day and a half?

>>Which bugs or annoyances do you experience?

CM14 is in alpha. Livedisplay if buggy af, and camera bugs out 10% of the time.

The Oneplus 3 is a better phone, but it's not 2 or 3 times better.

I was tired of rooting and installing custom ROMs so the Oneplus was definitely the best choice for me.

>>57165618
OP3 has vastly worse battery.

The screen on time doesn't seem that remarkable. I can literally fall asleep with my phone on without having to worry about a thing.

>>57160100
It's stock MIUI. At least it's the global ROM and not some chink vendor. I honestly have not had time to change it
