[Q] Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni) development

Hello,
what is needed/whate are we waiting for until the Redmi 4X custom ROMs come out? I found some LineageOS and one other unofficial ROMs but I don't trust stuff outta xda so I'm too afraid try them.
Thanks
PS: There are the links:

mod edit - off-site download links removed

The unofficial lineage versions contain two chinese apps with access to usage statistics. They disappear after disabling the access. It's nevertheless a little bit dangerous. I use this redmi 4x as a PirateBox host, so it's not a problem for me. The Lineage build is working good, finger print sensor is working, camera is functional.

Hello,
is it possible to flash the baseband from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with band 20 (global variant?) to other Xiaomi Redmi 4X with 3MB 32GB as root with any tool to get band 20 ?
Is there any flashing tool of basebands for Xiaomi devices at all ?

hello
hello i tried to flash this on my redmi 4x santoni but i get error7 ?

I flashed it with TWRP. Have you first wiped the phone?

Hi everyone,
are there any news on this?
I got my 4X yesterday and I've been looking for a good custom ROM but can't seem to find any except for that one with the chinese bloatware.

kinda hard to find good rom. so much stuff on the internet now days

Finally found something on a Russian site. It's all in Russian which is why you can't find it on Google...
They have inofficial builds of LineageOS (and some other ROMs as well) for the Redmi 4X.
I'm using it right now and there are no issues. Everything works smoothly, no signs of bloatware. Can recommend to try it. :good:

It's great. Used it a lot yesterday (2,5h screen-on time) and still had 50% left in the evening.
I can't comment on how it compares to MIUI though, haven't used it enough for that.

I have tried the LOS13 v1 and indeed the most things working smooth.
Only annoying is the the lack of a fix for the (further good working) gps. I am not sure if this has influence on draining the battery.
On the same site you can find also Mokee, Flyme and some derivates of Miui
I for now run the rom of Mi-Globe rom, based on the latest Xiaomi.eu version with some extra features and debloated Mi stuff
I am very satisfied with this Nougat rom. With a custom launcher I can live with the Miui base

4pda talks are banned here.
Also this is a known issue with those device and many that run on cm. The GPS, BT, and wifi have been buggy for years and they never bother to fix it.

do you have Root app for Redmi 4x?
Anybody have Root app for Xiaomi Redmi 4x, please share with me, thanks

Thanks for pointing to this. Edit my post
I think that Miui (and debloated derivates) is the best choice for now, that has the least issues

The official Global beta 7.6.22 has two versions, MM 6.0 and N 7.1.
Xiaomi eu has adapted the 7.1 version for the Europese customers
Latest weekly release is v7.6.29 .
With Mi-globe you can strip and add (like root) some things on this EU rom
Everyting works as expected, but personal I don't prefer Miui

You need to have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, then go to Magisk thread here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and download the zip here and flash it from TWRP. Now you have MagiskRoot and also ability to install systemless packages (read the description, it's the single most cool thing we ever got for Android apart from Xposed).
Do not install SuperSU, as it would probably break the MTP - although for some people apparently modifying build.prop worked, for me it didn't.

Mi6 MIUI9 Global Beta 8.1.11 updated to Oreo

Good news today, it seems Xiaomi pushed Oreo on our latest weekly OTA update.

Hi, do you have new notification shade on beta 8.1.11? I updated rom and its gone

You are right it is totally gone maybe they still have not port it in miui9 Oreo based

Just don't to update guys it's super bugy
I did a fresh flash for the new rom
But it keeps freezing and the media refuse to play even on YouTube

For the time being, is safer to stick to Android 7.1 for the MI6. This Rom is not the exception, it may be from XIOAMI, but still a Beta.

Hey guys,
I one Xiaomi Mi6 with MIUI9 Global Beta 8.1.11 yesterday, 12/01/2018 it looks like it was updated to Oreo.
Xiaomi pushed Oreo on our latest weekly OTA update. :good:
I upload my screenshot of my phone. (in attachment)
Seems good to me..
Thanks

A bit better, I'm testing it right now. It can be used as a daily. Some notifications bugs and battery seems to drain faster than Global stable but slower than Los 15.1 and Aicip 12.1.

I'm having trouble with this update, my phone does not vibrate when I receive notifications.
The whatsapp app icon appears twice and then disappears.
What can I do?

Is there a way to check if Project Treble is enabled on this build?

It's a common issue that has already been reported.
Happens on both MIUI Global and China Oreo ROMs for Mi 6.
I'm also suffering this issue (tried both ROMs) and my temporal solution is Mi Band 2 notifications.

oreo rom for xiaomi mi6
many many bugs....my rom is miui9 global stable.v9.0.2.

Hey everyone! Don't install 8.1.11. Install 8.1.17 or 8.1.18. It fixes the notification issue.

i am on the newest xiaomi.eu 8.1.18 but i'm missing the cast tile. Do you guys still have it on miui 9 oreo?

Install stable build please. Same issue on global dev

[Face ID] [Magisk Module]

Note: Do not try on miui based custom rom or any other rom. You may brick your device that way.
Hey guys,
Face ID from Redmi Note 5 Pro was recently ported to Redmi Note 4. Now it's working on our device too ( Mi Max 2). I have packed this port in Magisk Module. I personally tested this on Global Stable 9.5.1.0. You can test on your phone running stock miui. Download the file from link given below and flash in Magisk manager. Reboot the device and check if "Add face data" is there in lock screen settings. If it's there you are good to go. Follow the instructions in that option and enjoy.

It's working on my eu latest stable rom. Thanks

Can I use it on Global Beta ROM?

I tried using in on global beta 8.3.22 but it gave me a ui error just before system ui could start....making the phone unusable. Then....I guess it’s not working on global beta. [emoji12]

You can uninstall magisk to come out of that error. Then again flash it with required modules.

Works great for 9.2.1.0. But in 9.5.1.0 china stable(mi globe rom) face id works but pattern unlock stops working. You cant unlock with pattern. Need to modify the flash file.

I had to dirty flash the whole rom to solve it.
Do I need anything else other than module itself? Isn't it self contained?

This is an outdated mod. I'll not recommend using it on new build. Wait for the official rollout.

AOSP or LinageOS etc.?

Hi!
So I'm wondering if there is an ongoing developement of AOSP or LinageOS or other atlernatives for the Mi8, and if we will see any official beta release anytime soon?
I'm sick and tired of miui and all the system apps that's impossible to remove, and they keep fighting back to be default app. Grr! I would very much like a cleaner build, and would gladly be a beta tester. Although my experience from Mi5 is that miui felt more responsive than the linageos nightlies, I would rather have that and be able to choose my own apps.
Would I be even better off with this new Treble stuff?

Load MIUI 10 onto it, or global MIUI 9. Have no issues with default apps on MIUI 10. Had that with the original MIUI 9 China-rom though.

Are you able to remove all the Mi apps? Video, wallet, app store etc?
The fact is that I'm most fond of as close to stock android I can get, which is why I want AOSP. If it was possible to build AOSP on my own and still get camera, GPS and stuff to work as it should, then I'd do that.
I think it's better to have a rom built without bloat, rather than try to hide it afterwards.

Can you guide us into this MIUI 10 thing? I have china rom and unlock bootloader. No Root/TRWP or anything.

Just follow the steps here; https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-7-12-v2.44949/
You need TWRP.
Or wait till sources are released and there will probably be development available for AOSP/Lineage.

I have installed a treble rom (I think the RR one). The rom is working well but I went back to MIUI as Oreo doesn't support the notch yet.

Cool, was everything else than the notch working as it should? The notch is not important to me..

Aosp would be very good, always my first choice to use. Lineage can wait [emoji3]
Hope we have devs who waiting to cook the stock roms[emoji3] Otherwise I have to sell my mi8 and buy a OnePlus6[emoji26]

Currently running MIUI10 beta from Xiaomi.eu though. It's not perfect or as close to AOSP/Lineage yet but it's a TON better!
Ok Google still doesn't work & it's still on 8.1 though but it's still better than the MIUI9 mess

Best alternative ROM to flash

Hello all.
I just received my mi9 and I don't like at all this stock MIUI rom.
First thing, where can I see if I have the EEA, or global ROM ?
And secondly, after unlocking my device and flashing twrp, what rom could be the best ? Maybe xiaomi.eu, revolutionOS, flokoRom ?
No AOSP based ROM at the moment ( I would love to flash an AOSP based ROM , like my good old One plus 3 )
And battery life is just horrible in stock ROM..

You could try GSI roms, but they are not stable enough for me right now.
Im now on ROS. With magisk and lawnchair it's running great and feels a lil bit like aosp. Better than stock

You should read the FAQ and forum before asking such questions, as a senior member you should know that
Anyways, unlocking usually requires a 15 day waiting / grace-period, so I'd start doing that now and you'll have another two weeks to read all the ROM/flash/root topics here.
