Guys, another question though. I read that some use the official SP, while some buy different brand (Nilkin etc).

So which one is actually better?

Yes, no updates are available.

Don't scare me le. When I get is full box, sealed set summore. :worried:

Nobody have tried rooting thing phone?
I frickin hate the ads. And can't do a thing without root to ad block them

Is a local set mah.
Ads when you browse anything on the net. Ads show in ad based program.
You can block all the ads by changing the dns resolution thingy and change all the ads server IP to 127.0.0.1

Adaway and adfree does this.
In android bro.
Refer above. If done it'll block all ads everywhere in the entire android os

This is really a panic moment for me.

Yes it is related to launcher problem. Initially I used Nova launcher @ Mi3, everything no problem. So since I am so confortable with Nova on my previous Mi3, I used it here as well. Turns out the blue little phone is not usable and had to use the stock phone to be able to make calls. I think there's some permission related issues but I never want to go that far since I already have my problem solved.

TL;DR, if use nova launcher, swap the blue icon with stock, a.k.a green color icon will do.

EDIT: Let me see if I still able to find out any issues. And my wallpaper goes out of focus. :/

Nope playstore removed them because they're too functional.
It'll block all ads even from Google ads. All the ads address resolution will be diverted to localhost.
Even games with ads based interface will be clean from ads.

I used Adaway on my previous lenovo. I've tried giving permission to Adaway in the redmi but no avail. It's gonna require root access

still waiting if anybody got their RN3 root.

try lah pakai ni

http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note...-7-1-8-t3344365

itu lah tak pernah cuba pakai kingroot pulak. tapi kalau guna link tu kena ikut step step dia. kalau hardbrick sia sia sahajaa

tak try lagi. just suggesting. selagi takde rom yang nice selagi tu tak root rasanya

I'm using stable 7.2.3.0 mediatek. Kingroot work fine

kingroot got many bloatware. since RN3 got no root access, I'm back with my old G4. Who wanna buy my RN3?

The only way to root Redmi Note 3 SD is to unlock the bootloader either by officially or unofficially. Then can flash TWRP and SuperSU since not many custom ROM with SuperSU yet for locked bootloader. For MTK version,since its in the market for quite sometimes, some of the ROM existed can be installed with locked bootloader with SuperSU included.
Developer ROM also have root enabled, but not many people kinda like Developer ROM.

part of the process

do u guys experience batt drain on the latest update 7.2.3.0 compare to 7.1.8.0? SOT less than 5 hours

so far gps works perfectly well. haha

Review...erm....i think 7.1.8 should be better in battery lasting.

So far so good. Been using Waze and Google Maps with RN3. No issue on GPS.

For me.....nothing much different. if u need app lock then use 7.2.3, if no need then just stay 7.1.8. for me...i lazy flash flash flash, so i stay updated. but i still got 7 hours sot in mixed wifi and sim data usage la. so...not bad for me. able to last 2 days.

7.1.8 only have fingerprint to unlock phone. Apps lock dont have yet for 7.1.8. haha
