Thats not worth if you already have Mi max 2 already. If you just want to have upgrade android version.
Simple buy mi a2 android one.
You will get all the android updates quick then to other device.
Even Android P (Pie) too.

Like you i love this phone and i like to buy it. But because of HiSiliCon CPU i'm sure this phone won't recieve any Lingea OS custome rom.
I prefer to buy a phone with SnapDragon CPU.

Sadly, it's confirmed that the bootloader of the honor note 10 cannot be unlocked, so it's near impossible for a lineage OS or any custom ROM to be on the note 10.

correct. ALL Huawei and Honor phones from now on onwards will have locked bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. and thats the very first step u need for custom roms. so thats it for alternative software, its ALL stock.

For that price
I think max 2 with some mods and custom kernel will give same experience for now

my redmi note 5 pro shipped with 7.1 but last week I had an update to MIUI 9 with android 8.1.
The same with my mother Redmi 5 plus (snapdragon 625), now updated to MIUI 9 with android 8.1
Is there any chance for Mi Max 2?

A bit OOT but just bought a Mi Max 2 4/64 for only US$170, Mi Max 3 4/64 is $260. I didn't think it was worth it, esp I dislike tall screens n non capacitive buttons

My Max 2 is fantastic with an OC to 2.8GHz, no need to worry about ARB and China version.
In fact, I'm buying another Max 2 :laugh:

It was just Huawei who stopped provide us the unlock code. But if we still wanna take some benefits from the a unlocked device, we can spend a few bucks (about €5, I used it 2yrs ago) to use DCUnlocker's service. Sometimes, Huawei's unlock website has been down due to the maintaining, so I switched to DCU (I'm a patient user :silly:, unless the website down when I got a new phone :laugh, and one more thing,l: I hope that DCU will not increase the price of the unlock service :laugh:
P/s: @jbmc83 , I'm asking a ETA, but can you update me on the info about P for Max2 :laugh:. This time of year is my high demand sale season, I don't have enough time for my online-life -__-. Thanks.

I've upgraded to Mi Max 3 and compared it with Mi Max 2. Take a look here
Here are the main differences of Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (comparing to Mi Max 2):
18:9 aspect ratio;
a bit thicker but more comfortable to keep in a hand;
slightly better screen;
improved performance;
fingerprint sensor works a bit faster;
better camera;
bigger battery.

funny thing though: due to the bigger screen, the MM3 actually seems to sport less battery life than the MM2, even though its got a slightly larger battery capacity. thats according to reviews and user reports.

ROM 5.10.9 android 5.1.1

Downloaded 5.10.9 from Xiaomi servers OTA
Took a couple of hours but succeeded first try.
Seems to be better battery although might be too soon to say.
I preferred previous ROM transitions, find the new ones too fast (yes too fast )
Haven't noticed other things, no problems.

I think the headphone jack output volume was decreased since 5.10.9. Anyone got the same problem sonce updating this?
Does anybody know how to increase the volume limit natively? (Not via EQ or Amp)
I saw sMIUI has a volume mod, so it should be possible.
I use the Mi Headphones and also the Mi Pistons v3 and both are decreased in volume since that update
Haven't noticed that as I don't use headphones. Speakers volume seems to be the same...
Otherwise It rebooted while in the pocket twice today.
use MIUI 7 for Mi Note

[Question] What is the possibility of CM 14 on the Zuk Z1?

I am planning to buy a Zuk Z1 which comes pre-loaded with COS 5.1.1 and still hasn't received COS 13 update; however CM13 is available and pretty stable. Now I'll buy the phone only if it receives CM14 sometime down the road. The phone has a Snapdragon 801. Is there a possibility that it'll receive CM14? I know it's hard to tell for sure but any seasoned people could make some gusses? Any help appreciated.
Personally I wouldn't buy this phone anymore, it's a decent device but you can get better phones for the same amount of money

The OPO should get CM14. It's backed by a very, very strong developer community. Also, why hasn't ZUK seen the likes of MIUI ported? It's already there for OPO.
I'm a crack flasher, so I love trying out all sorts of ROMs, but I'm inept at 'porting' ROMs.

Even I'd love to know about a better phone at this price point.
So zuk z1 will support android 7.0 right??
Sent from my Z1 using Tapatalk
A better phone at this price point may be the the Redmi Note 3 Pro. From what I can see the Redmi has better hardware, faster 64 bit CPU, better screen, cheaper. The ZUK has a better camera, no SD card (bad if you want to flash from SD card or backup to SD card) older CPU but still ok. Front fingerprint scanner is also a plus instead of rear on Redmi. Redmi runs MIUI and CM
If you have had your ZUK Z1 a while are you glad you got this and not the a Redmi note 3?
Right now we can't say anything about COS14 but if the devs at cynogen mod are concerned about this device they might release CM14 for us
but the question is In India during the launch of zuk z1 lenovo claimed that they will provide updates for this device and we did not get a single update up until now
so thankful to the devs at XDA for developing roms and continue the android cycle of this phone
and i hope they do so for Android 7.0
Calm down guys! ?? it will definiely get CM14, unofficial or official.

I agree. I have two major concerns:
1. Availability of CM14 on the device. If not official, then unofficial. The unofficial part is a little dodgy because there aren't A LOT of ROMs for the Z1 which are updated on a daily basis. The updates for a device also depend on how popular a device is among the developer community. I can't really say about the Z1.
2. The aging SD 801. How does it compare to the 64 bit 650?
Other than that, spec-wise, the 64GB memory and OIS wins it over the RN3 for me.

I think from this point is all about preferences. I prefer a large display with a good dpi and colors and 64 Gigs of rom on a marshmallow nuclear rom. Redmi 3 pro is worh it also but i m having it now on spacex rom lolipop waiting to unlock the bootolader
and maybe get a CM rom.

SO which phones are the best competitor to a ZUK Z1?
Yes bro it will receive cm14 officially from cyanogenmod not from android
I wouldn't recommend the ZUK Z1 to anyone. Btw, typing this from my Z1.
The phone and the hardware is great. It's the crappy Cyanogen that makes the phone trash worthy.
Cyanogen is upto its neck with bugs. I too was excited when I first bought the Z1 but now repent that decision after using for 3 months.
Again, the phone is great. The OS is crap.
Experimental buil 7.0 launched on one plus one ...so wait

Redmi 4X (3Gbvs vs Red Prime (3Gb

My prime was stolen recently, shame as I thought it was a slick phone, need buy another, though considering the 4x instead, it's slightly cheaper, a bit smaller (though still five inch screen), specs are similar, apart from very minor core / cpu differences. Prime HD screen apparently, res'* better though less battery due to this I presume.
Not sure about miui updates 9"etc /Nougat?
I have never used a 4x, any members with your preferences, knowledge and info'* so I make the right choice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Redmi 4x is just a lower budget and less powerfull than redmi 4 prime, but the battery is the same (or better) thant the 4 prime, since is 4100mAh. You can use it with no problems, miui 9 is receveing updates and it's on nougat (not planned to go to oreo tho). And we still do not have official kernel sources (if you are into kernel stuff).

Much thanks.
You think the screen resolution between the 2 makes much difference?
There is a red 5 out, Identical, on nougat, but only a 3000mhp battery.
I read Redmi prime does not update to nougat. Only redx can you confirm this?

Is it worth buying Redmi 4x in Q3 2018?

Hello folks. I've been using Moto X Style for about a 1,5 year and I'm tired. Development is slowing down, the phone is really big (my previous one was LG L90). For some time I was looking for a nice, compact smartphone with good battery and decent price. Redmi 4X seems to fit my needs, but is it worth buying now? As far as I know the longer battery is kept unused, the worst condition it has - is 4X still being produced? How about development - how many LOS version may this phone get yet? How is battery life?
Or are there newer models which could fill my needs? 150mm height is too much for me; I like compact smartphones - otherwise I would get Lenovo P2 - that is a beast. Actually I tought that Sony Xperia XA2 would be nice, but that price...
What do you guys think?

As I mentioned, 150mm height is too much. I wish I had more compact smartphone.
Redmi 4x's android version range is 6-8 and thanks to treble we booted android p dev previews. About battery life my SoT records are: RR Luis build nougat 8hr 35min RR Luis build oreo 8h 12min android p dev preview 7h 3min
Project Treble seems promising. I wonder how long Android will keep compatibility with it. How about your opinions, then? Do you like this smartphone? Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again?

My previous phone was zenfone 6 (6 inch display x86 cpu) I was in your situation. It isnt even fit on pocket, lack of development, etc. Redmi 4x seems fine after 6 inch junk. 5 inch display, more custom rom support, Camera is amazing with gcam (miui default cam is fine too), 8 core cpu. Gaming performance is great and also it is cheap. Im definitely happy with redmi 4x

If u want to compact phone, santoni is best choice
Redmi 4X has several ROM's even project treble supported ROM's too.
Custom kernels available too.Development is quite good.
I think xiaomi less likely to make 5inch device in future too because as they are releasing newer devices in the range of 5.5 to 5.9 inches. For e.g. Redmi 6 has 5.5 inch display Maybe they produce 5 inch display phone with tight budget in future e.g. Redmi 4A.
I would say at least go for SD 625 device if there is any 5 inch device.
You've mentioned you might go for Lenovo P2 which has 5.5 inch display considering this Redmi 5 would be fine since it has 5.7 inch display and SD 450 and it's better than SD 435 and has same GPU as SD 625.
If there's any xiaomi store out there near by you live then try out newer xiaomi device yourself to get better decision on which device to get.
SD 435 is based on 28nm technology and now almost all new SD chipsets are based on 14nm or lower so it's better to get this devices.
With using only mobile data on Redmi 4X I do need to charge device in evening or night.
With mix usage it lasts 1½ days which translates roughly around 8 hours of sot. On MIUI 8 I used to get around 10hours of sot.
If you buy Redmi 4X now there's very chance that your phone will have white color notification LED.
Do let us know which one you buy
In the end I bought Redmi 4X since it was quite cheap. It fits nice in my hand. I'm not using it as daily yet, but "play" with it now.
Can you suggest me some nice custom roms (with as little bugs as possible)? Or maybe miui is the way to go (global or xiaomi.eu?). I just wish I could deactivate fingerprint scanner (I don't use it, but touching it with finger accidentaly wakes phone) and remove/disable some google apps. I heard root on miui is available on xiaomi.eu version.
First(I am sure you know it) get device's bootloader unlocked, it a quiet hectic process and will take few days.
The custom ROM's I'll recommend you are list below.
I have personally tried all of them and they are pretty good almost bugless, with good battery backup.
I haven't tried any custom kernel so can't say anything about them. If you wish you can try.
All of them are Oreo based.
1. Resurrection Remix OS.
2. DOT OS.
3. Nitrogen OS.
4. Havoc OS.
I recommend the new Xaiomi Mi A2 lite. It´s very handy too.

Any drawabacks on RR? I heard battery does not last as long on custom as on miui. How about camera and flashlight gestures? Can I set double click on power/volume button to trigger them? Or long click?
sorry doublepost
Of course no. Sd 435 is too old for q3 2k18. I think the minimum soc right now is sd636 (redmi note 5, and other phone with that soc). Iam currently using redmi 4x, but I'll trade this phone to a newer xiaomi (I dont have a lot of money, so i'll choose xiaomi)

I didn't faced any bugs since my usage was using social media apps,some photo editing apps, calls, camera (gcam) and playing PUBG mobile and clash royale.
I noticed the battery drain faster while playing pubgm in rr than miui so yes it does eat more battery when comparing it to miui. Using custom kernel you may get good battery life.
When using it on 4G LTE the battery was draining fast too and experienced device to go warm.
Yes, you can set camera button as far as I remember.
The last time i used rr was in last two weeks of April and early few days of May.
Last build was released in April and later there's no update made available yet.
I think we'll be looking at directly Android P based rr in next update.
To get latest security patch and Android P experience I moved to DOT OS and it's a good build and it also has all the customization that are available in rr and so does the havoc OS.
In my opinion all custom ROM's doesn't have battery backup like MIUI but it's not bad it's decent.
Flashlight gesture I don't know I didn't tried that but it should be available there.
Currently I am using MIUI 10 Global beta and battery backup is good I get SOT around 8 hours with mix usage but again when using 4G LTE it drops down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT.
Battery saver helps a little bit so it's turned on all the time.

I am currently using AOSP EXTENDED. It is smooth and bugless. It's Oreo based.
Use havoc os with phantom kernel (thunder plug hotplug) (alucard governor) you'll be amazed. HAVOC OS > Dot OS in both battery life and performance and fluidity.
10+ SOT

10+ hours of SOT is just fantastic.
I(or rather we) used to had such SOT on MIUI 8.
I'll try this combinations soon in few days, currently on MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.2.
Does firmware version matter?

Quick charge in RR can be easily "fixed" by instaling a custom Kernel made by Hard Rock.

Quick charge in RR can be easily "fixed" by instaling a custom Kernel made by Hard Rock.

You can find them here on XDA. Use the search button or look at the ROMs, Kernels section under MI Max 2
Msm is best for daily driver

I'll be using my Mix Max 2 for a GPS device, like in a Tesla. Permanently tethered to power and headphone jack. I usually run a couple Xposed modules to make changing songs easier, and things like that. Would the Pixel Experience ROM suit me best for its stability and lack of tweaks?
Why everyone is saying msm is the best rom right now? Pixel experience seems more up to date

it depends what people like to focus on. some people prefer frequent updates, other prefer battery life, others performance or theming options or customization options or stability, etc.
thats why ull always hear different opinions from different users so whenever someone says "this is the best rom!" my first question is always: in what regard is it best?

ive only been on xuefer los 14.1 and msm xtended v9.5 so far, so cant comment on other roms xuefer has better battery life but msm xtended is way more fluid and has more customization options.

well for that to be answered properly u should define what "best" actually means to you. best performance? best battery life? best customization options? least amount of bugs? best theming capabilities? best update cycle?

the is no bugless custom rom for MM2 atm. but the only omnipresent bug is the missing possibility to adjust volume in call. as for performance, u could flash latest hardrock kernel onto any rom and overclock the crap out of cpu and gpu, thus get max performance
