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?

Both 4 and 4x are same device. Its marketed as redmi 4 in India only and as 4x in global market. Both have the same device codename "santoni".

its redmi 4 Prime

redme 4 prime is markw

Santoni = Snapdragon?

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?

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.

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.

What is "Santoni"?

Hi!
I have a Redmi 4x and want to run a custom ROM on it. Looking at different roms most of them are "santonin" roms..
What is that and how do I know if I can use them?

Santoni is our device codename, if you bought a Redmi 4X it is already santoni, not if you bought the prime version

Yep. Be aware if you bought your phone still in Marshmallow, you will need to upgrade to MIUI Nougat, or update your firmware separately before you use any custom ROM

I bought it as a marshmallow device but have installed OTA update to Nougat..

So everything's fine !
Just have to unlock bootloader, flash a good twrp, and yes you can... install other custom roms on Santoni Redmi 4X !

Your device should be running on naugat or higher version to flash custom rom, or else it can be bricked during flashing.

Code name are:
olive/ 8​olivelitec /8a​olivewood/ 8 dual​For stock roms you can only flash those that match the code name.
For the AOSP some include the 3 models.

thanks for the information
​

yeah its suicidal to install an 8A rom on an 8, but if it were an SDM|MI439 it is possible
for the latest updates for our phones, id humbly suggest joining telegram in case of missteps
