I am new to all this stuff - Flashing ROMs etc , I just bought Mi max 2 which is having same processor Snapdragon 625 and redmi note 4 also have same processor..
Can i flash Note 4's ROMs ???
Absolutely not, you gotta wait for kernel sources just like the rest of us. Currently only LOS14.1 and MIUI8 and MIUI9 are available.

Hello, i stangely couldn't make this clear through searches. Is snapdragon version codename Santoni?
Yep
Hey. The 64gb version is code named santoni
All redmi 4 have the snapdragon 435
What's prada, markw? I have the "Redmi 4X", not just "Redmi 4". Global Version.
Well don't have. Will receive soon ^^
Hi!
Xiaomi has different devices under Redmi 4 series.
Redmi 4, Redmi 4X and maybe some other Prime variants.
Redmi 4's codename is Prada
Redmi 4X's codename is Santoni.
always look for which processor your device has, Redmi 4 (Prada has Qualcomm Snapdragon 430) and Redmi 4X ( Santoni has Qualcomm Snapdragon 435)
there is some confusion between users from India because xiaomi has launched Redmi 4X as Redmi 4 which is already exist and yet they named it Redmi 4 and it is making confusions.
but do not worry first check which processor your device has (can be found written on the box or just download any app that shows hardware from playstore)
hope this helps,
Regards.
This.

Find gsmarena.com's listing for Xiaomi Redmi 4 (4X) released 2017, May
If you have that (/will have that soon), you are on the right forum
Just went on gsmarena Redmi 4x page and nowhere it says santoni..
Yes

It will not. GSMarena doesn't list device codenames.
But i have this device in multiple storage units and my CPUZ app says it is santoni. Everytime i flash it, the recovery says it's santoni.
I am connecting the dots here for you. Because i too was super confused when i began looking for roms for my device.
So, if you are getting this specific model (check the looks, config, release date and match it with what you purchased) you are on the right forum.
As said, it's the global version (with European frequency). Would be same as Chinese though.
so if i have redmi 4 (THIS: http://en.miui.com/download-318.html) will redmi 4x rom work on it?
i checked that link and clicked on download and the rom file name consist HM4X meaning Redmi 4X so i don't think so there is going to be any problem.
your provided link which of Redmi 4 Indian variant and Redmi 4X both ROM are same so there shouldn't be any issue using this considering you have Redmi 4X or Redmi 4 Indian variant.
they shouldn't have changed the Redmi 4X name to Redmi in India and shouldn't have created two device section for same device when they already have Redmi 4(prada) and Redmi 4 prime (markw) which created confusion among users.
You can check on MIUI Forum download section you'll see same ROM for Redmi 4X and Redmi 4 Indian variant ( as i am new user here i am not allowed to post link just now) so there shouldn't be any issue to flash.
let me explain list different devices with there codename and processors
Redmi 4 -> Prada (China variant) has Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 processor
Redmi 4 prime -> Markw has Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 processor
Redmi 4X and Redmi 4 Indian variant -> Santoni has Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435 processor
hope this helps
Regards.

Yes, you can. Redmi 4X ROM does not depend upon Storage and RAM capacity.
the same ROM is applicable to all Redmi 4X version regardless of Storage and RAM capacity but just make sure to use Redmi 4X ROM. Codename for Redmi 4X is Santoni.
i have used china rom but it has bloatware and throws advertisements in Mi music player and in Mi browser and theme store is all in chinese language despite using English as system language which i do not like at all.
Global ROM is good in term of this but it does contains some Google apps pre installed and i do not have any issue with it since i use those apps.
you will bootloader unlocked to switch from China ROM to Global ROM or vice versa.
I have no clue about this device. My friend owns it and wants me to install a custom rom on it. Will redmi 4x custom roms work on this on redmi 4?
Easiest way to determine this download and install any system information app from google play store. (such as aida64, cpu-z or any other app there's many available)
If your friend has Redmi 4 which sold in the India then it is Redmi 4X santoni sold as Redmi 4 in India which has Qualcomm snapdragon 435 SoC. This same applies to Redmi note 4 too which is actually Redmi note 4X Mido. they have remove the X from it which makes confusion among users.
and if the device has not bought in the India and doesn't have Qualcomm snapdragon 435 SoC then it is different device.
if it has Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 then it is Redmi 4(china)
if you can't determine i can help you out in this case just share screenshots about phone and system hardware information app which you've downloaded from google play store.
also share device pictures if possible that will also help.

Yes, It is a redmi 4 purchased in India. CPU is 435. This means it is the 4X indeed, right? I can flash any custom rom then

Yes, go ahead. you are good to flash your desired ROM.
Just remember the codename is Santoni and it should be mentioned in respective ROM threads.

Hey everyone! I bought my note 9, 3 days ago because I was waiting for the mi 9 and the to me the mi 9 is kinda disappointing.... Anyways anyone here using treble ROMs, if yes do you have any recommendations? I was using phhs ROM on my previous phone the mate 9 and I kinda liked it but it was problematic because of the Kirin 960
Hi
I've got a Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro 8GB Ram will MIUI 11 installed.
Will I be able to run any of the ROMS on this forum on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro 8GB Ram? Or is this forum for a different phone.
And will Mi 8 ROMS work on Mi 8 Pro 8GB?
I'm confused because I've seen a forum for Redmi 8 so was wondering if this is same phone as mi 8 Pro.
Thanks

No, you have a different phone with different configurations, and the fingerprint Hal alone would cause a lot of issues. Do not flash any roms from this thread. Your best option would be using custom miui Xiaomi.EU rom.
Or
There is a new official stable build available for your phone: https://c.mi.com/thread-2940823-1-0.html
The problem is that there aren't many of the mi8 pro's around. If you want a custom rom you could try asking a developer to build one for you for a fee. its alot of work, and you would need to be the Guinea Pig tester. Again, I feel that you are better off using xiaomi.EU or Stock with a custom recovery and Root. This will be your best experience anyway.
Greetings,
I am the new owner of a the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G and I was wondering if there were alternative ROMs to MIUI out there.
I checked the websites of:
- LineageOS, they stop at Note 7
- AncientOS, they have the Note 10 Pro and other versions but not the Note 10 5G
- DotOS, same thing
- CrDroid, same thing
- etc.
Are there ROMs specifically made for the Redmi Note 10 5G yet? If so, which?
If not, would a Redmi Note 10 ROM work? I noticed that there are some technical differences between the two of them, especially regarding the CPU and camera module. Would that be a major source of concern?
I am very interested in finding something else than MIUI... Thank you very much in advance!

At now the only way for change rom Is project tre le. I suggest you some custom rom that have a good development. My advive Is dont try Portese gsi
Pphusson A12 aosp gsi Is the Better, most of gsi are based on it
Lineage19 by andyyan
You can find these rom and many other on xda project tre le section
Also dotos have an official gsi
Buy Is important ti know that a custom rom with FULL FUNCTIONALITIES LINE STOCK MIUI DONT EXIST
If you prefere AOSP at now it's possibile only by gsi
But miui13 Is coming out... My suggest Is waiting... Xiaomi Is launching many other phones with MTK chipset. So if you are lucky a new MTK developing community May Will Born. But not now
Dont flash redmi note 10 custom rom or you Will brick phone. The hardware Is differenti. They have a snapdragron chipset. Out 5g version in MTK based

Have you tried DotOS GSI on your Poco M3 Pro 5G? Is the brightness bug still there?
Because DotOS GSI is official than maybe the bug has gone

Yes, all gsi have some minor bugs. But can be used as Daily driver. Also more custom rom have bugs. Also stock sometimes! I my experience the rom bugless dont EXIST. A thing that you definire a bug, not necessary must be a bug for me.
