Hi there guys, just got this amazing phone yesterday and so far all going good, besides that i have 2 main questions
1. it is worth to update to Nougat (Official MIUI)? i mean, in battery life, performance, between other things, or it is just better to stay in MM? wondering since reading some comments, some say that is going so far all good, and other that it is just a buggy update
2. If the case 1 is no, it is worth to install Custom Roms? how much is the performance hit, battery hit, between others? i always had some low-mid range phones so i made everything in custom roms to get better performance, but i don't know if in this case is better (about going from MIUI to custom roms)
that's all, thanks in advance!
Hi welcome aboard !
1- I just use Miui until they allowed me to unlock my phone. So I don't know because it was on MM.
2- I can reach 5-6 hours SoT with latest LoS ROM. No lags, just very minor bug. (Be careful some screen didn't response well on custom rom if you use glass tempered. You can search it "JDI LGD mi5" for some informations)
1. There aren't many visual UI changes to the Officail nougat version of MIUI 8. RAm management has improved on the latest MIUI 8 Nougat version and a few additional settings are provided. Give it a try it is stable but if you don't like the look and feel of MIUI than flash custom ROM
2. You will need unlocked bootlaoder to install custom ROM. I would recommend following Custom Roms for you to install
(a)Official Lineage OS 14.1 or
(b)Resurrection Remix 5.8 (Based on Lineage OS 14.1) if you need more customisations

1. I would steer away from the Nougat releases as they are still very buggy and there are no observable benefits over Marshmallow
2. You can use custom ROM if you like but if you go through the forums they all seem to have problems. Personally I found Gobal Developer ROM 6.11.3 to be the best so far.

Thanks for the info! i installed OctOS and it went all good, using DragonXia kernel (Not OC) on my 32GB model since the kernel itself (like on stock miui) it is not capped and it runs really good, it is nice to see android 7.1.1 (tested nougat on 7 and well, as you said, it is like the same as with the mm one)

Well Nougat and MM are likely similar on MIUI.
But Nougat is much smooth and RAM management is better.
I won't suggest you to use Stock but I will.
Seems funny !
Actually instead of using official stock, you better use Xiaomi.eu rom.
This is a custom rom but a stock rom.
Based on CN Developer and CN Stable. It's you choice which one you prefer.
I personally think Xiaomi.eu is one of the best rom out there.
Give it a try.
Besides this one you can try Slim Dragon rom. This one is just amazing.
Mi5 roms stock or cm based are bad optimised. It's frequently lag while scrolling on some apps like Twitter, Tumblr Facebook with Snapdragon 820 unbelievable but sad true.

You can reboot to recovery from update setting but you will only see a cable and phone logo and it's useless. If you have already flashed twrp, you can go from there. About waking up lock screen, do you upgrade via ota or flash fastboot rom? I flashed miui 8.2.2 fastboot rom and didn't have a problem.

1. I'd say Nougat is slightly better.
2. No LOS/ASOP based custom rom is complete actually.
you can try xiaomi.eu rom. Best by far.

You must use zcx twrp to flash miui recovery zip. Official twrp will cause bootloop. If you are comming from custom rom, full wipe is recommended.
Can install any stable official rom with custom recovery?
Unlock bootloader and rooted

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:
https://ronnyliem38.blogspot.cz/2017/05/lineage-os-13-untuk-xiaomi-redmi-4x.html
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 ?

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.
Can you tell me which is the best stable rom for Games and multi tasking like Facebook and Messenger ?
With any version of android i don't matter, 5.0 , 6.0 or 7.0
You should try Androium 7
I used it more than six six months with no bug.

I recommend to use NITROGEN OS 8.1.0 cause it´s very stable.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/rom-nitrogen-os-redmi-4xsantoni-t3738083
Ive used almost every oreo rom I dont find many difference, every rom has own features but its quite similar its my personal opinion I find all of them almost same in performance and battery backup

Sorry I can´t say. In my device before santoni I was on Resurrection Remix 5.8.5, but with santoni I wasn´t satisfied with it. So I stayed at first on Miui Xiaomi.eu 9 but not really satisfied too. With new oreo roms I changed to NITROGEN OS 8.1.0. That´s my way on santoni device...
For Oreo: Its NOS
For Nougat: It's Dot.OS
You must try Invicta OS rom, it's very smooth and stable.
Before this I tried Nitrogen OS (stable) but after reboot finger print didn't work, rest were fine.
Go ahead and try Invicta OS.
Use cardinal aosp rom. Best performance, better battery backup in comparrision of other Oreo roms.
Cardinal aosp is the best Oreo ROM for redmi 4 santoni. Everything is good in this rom. It also supports OTA updates and thanks for the developer for making an awesome rom.

Well I am using Aosp extended Oreo. Although I am facing problems with root. But the smoothness and stability is good. You won't get the same battery life as you get on miui but it's actually not bad.
You can try it out. I am quite satisfied with it but it might affect you if you need root access.
for me pixel experience.
I have been using Lineage 17.1, but it does not get updates anymore, which is sad. It was almost perfect with MIUI camera port and Gcam all lenses/modes working...
Which is the Android 10 ROM most similar to LOS? Without gapps included and Dialer/SMS/Gallery Apps etc like in LOS? As stock as possible...
Thanks for your help.

but why you don't build your own rom from source ?
You can try DerpFest or ArrowOS. Either w/out happy and some personalization.. But constantly updated
