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

Hello guys,
Can anyone confirm if the ROMs available in this subforum are compatible with a Redmi 4X?
Thanks!
Redmi 4X has Snapdragon 435, while Redmi 4 (prada) has Snapdragon 430
No chance.
Can anyone tell me the difference? And can 4x roms be flashed on 4 because they have the exact same specs. Also whats the codename for both devices? Like mido for redmi note 4?
Answerer will be thanked lmao

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost positive the India Redmi 4 is the Redmi 4x everywhere else. Do you still have the box it came in? My Redmi 3x Global Version model number is MAG138. What's your India Redmi 4 model number?

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.
IS the redmi 4 china variant capable of using all rom posted here?
yes, i also have china variant. feel free to flash roms posted here

Oh, i hate this naming scheme... i have Redmi 4X China version but you have that Redmi 4 China version. You can't use any ROMs here as redmi 4x and redmi 4 china has different chipset.

ahh.i guess..thank you bro
Your device is Redmi 4 China (Prada) can not use Redmi 4X ROM since both devices are different with different processor.
you'll have to use Redmi 4 prada ROM.
As we have 3 versions of redmi note 10 pro
Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global) – sweetpro
Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (India) – sweetin_pro
Redmi Note 10 Pro (India) – sweetin
As the specifications are identical, the only difference is camera module.
So the rom of every model will be same or different?

Are you sure the above code names are correct?
I think Note 10 Pro Max (India) is called sweetin, not swettin_pro
Not sure about pro, but sweet and sweetin are same and ROMs work on both devices.

The new ArrowOS changelog says that the device "sweet" has been added so I would guess that the rom has support for all the different cameras...Will check up about this.
Edit: I think by sweet they mean the non pro variant , but the Arrow OS post is in the resmi note 10 pro forum???

I think "sweet" is codename for pro variant. It's because when I try to UBL, the codename that appear in Mi Flash Unlock is "sweet". My device variant is Redmi Note 10 Pro Indonesia.

They might use the same technique for unlocking through Mi Flash or the bootloader is the same.

Might be.
If the other 2 or 3 char after "SWEET" word/country or region initial is not matter. It's mean, the codename of all variant is "SWEET" except for India variant is "SWEETIN"
According from official rom on mi.com, rom code for India variant is "SWEETININ". If we remove the initial country of India "IN". It's mean the India variant codename is 'SWEETIN".
