That will be in 2018 with Xiaomi's current pace.

Mana?

My observation with CM13 on the RN3 over the weekend.

1) Orientation stuck issue as per my previous experience from MIUI7 and MIUI8 is gone.
2) VR lag in Youtube is gone.
3) Bluetooth reported very high power usage in Battery status but I think it is error. If it is really reported using 4000mAH in the phone should be dead anyway.

Battery wise I managed to get 39 hrs of usage over the weekend with 8hr SOT. Not bad.

I am using Santosh's CM13.

Not sure about the bootloader but I have TWRP running as bootloader after flashing CM13. So far no plan to flash another ROM yet.

Nop according to my battery status.

But strangely, it indicated WiFi remain on.

Still showing Wifi always on.

Redmi Note 3 - Originally launched in China in Nov 2015, is based on Mediatek chipset. This version is never sold outside China.

Redmi Note 3 (Pro) - Launched in March 2016, is based on Snapdragon 650. Some people called it Pro spec. This is the one Xiaomi bringing to Malaysia officially. So those Mediatek you got in Lazada is from grey market import.

The grey market importer bring in Redmi Note 3 (SD or Mediatek) from handphone vendor in China. They do not buy them directly from Xiaomi. Therefore the phone is loaded with what we called "vendor ROM", which is similar to a Verizon phone in US where Verizon will load some of their stuffs on the phone. This also include adware etc.

Global Rom refer to the MIUI ROM that is design for International market. The main differences compared to China ROM (or vendor ROM) is:

1. More system languages, China ROM only have Chinese and English
2. Google PlayStore enabled. China ROM will not have build in PlayStore. You have to flash yourself.
3. No China made video player which has access to VOD in China market
4. No China made music player which works like Spotify function
5. No Chinese only apps (like Mi Wallet, Mi whatever, some China version of Waze).
6. No strange Chinese words come out when you use some system apps.

Other than that, they shared the same bugs and features as China ROM.

First use EDL to flash China rom.
1. Enable USB debug in developer mode
2. Run adb device, then adb boot EDL
3. Run miflash to flash China rom

Then unlock the phone.

After that you can flash TWRP.

I am using CM13.

After install Blackberry apps, now it feels and look like a Blackberry.

CM13 last me 36 hours over the weekend with 8 hrs SOT with moderate use.

The only reasonably good one is the Ipaky hybrid case. However it "lift" my tempered glass SP because the edge "eat" inside the screen area.

No. It is almost instant. If not, less than 1 minute.


That is normal.

You didn't enter EDL correctly.

Turn on USB debug.
Use ADB command to do a ADB BOOT EDL

Then use Miflash to flash the Global ROM.

If fail. Read.

Are you using Vendor Rom? Flash Xiaomi official Global rom. Even "global rom" flashed by Gemfive got unwanted apps.

Sorry to hear that.

I have installed CM13 in 3 RN3 and all of them (including mine) constantly getting at least 18hrs of usage and SOT of 5+ hours.
