I still havent got the marshmellow update. Anyone else in the same boat?

Stock kernel is good enough.

But I go for Radon because of f2fs. Made a huge difference in IO performance.

charging nope, its cool.
but it can get a little toasty when i play games.

ROOT, then get CM14.1 superb battery life with huge2 performance..

or ResurrectionRemix with android 7.1

Prefer stock official, thanks

me too，thanks

performance should be best on latest versions as optimization is improved, though if u want stock experience with good performance Xiaomi.eu rom is the way to go

Hi.. New user here for redmi note 3

the CM14.1 optimized for superb battery life. and also performance.
better than MiUI8. because i switch back n force between both ROM quite frequent these days

btw, even on stock ROM, getting ROOT is a good move.
optimization all the way, baaaaby!

why rn3 volume hard to change through volume button when running other apps. this problem doesnt occurs if using xiaomi audio apps.

stuck at 50%. ggwp cannot unlock. any idea guys?

Edit build.prop

Find
#Storage
ro.sys.sdcardfs=true

Change to
#Storage
ro.sys.sdcardfs=false

If you cannot edit directly on /system, first use ES File Explorer to copy the file from /system to /sdcard. Edit and save it in /sdcard, then boot to TWRP, mount /system and use the File Manager to copy the file back to /system. Chmod to 0644. Then reboot system and you will be able to backup Whatsapp.

Flash a official global developer MIUI. Then boot and register your phone with the unlocked ID.

Only then unlock.

You guys have any problems with the camera in the new rom? Sometimes I will get the message that it is unable to connect to the camera when I open the app. Usually if I retry it will work but sometimes I need to restart the phone for it to work. I am hoping it is rom issue, not my phone

What version of rom? Global? I didn't facing anything like that.

what rom? never faced such issue.

8.1.1.0 official. I think I found the prob dy. Probably my micro sd is going kaput. I set the camera app to save to the card.

Awesome, will try it out. Happy New Year to u!

I've successfully unlock bootloader of RN3 officially after trying for 3 hours. There are 2 guides that help me the most.
In my scenario, based on my observation, the reasons that lead to 50% stuck is NOT due to xiaomi error per se, but it's due to PC not able to recognize "Android ADB Interface". Once the driver is installed, and the debugging bridge is able to link, unlock process just proceed smoothly.

I received the permission to unlock sms within 30 minutes!!! so fast.

The 2 most important guides (I don't follow exactly)

Guide 1) http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-fix-cou...unlock-process/
- I skipped Step 3 & 8 & 9
- I disable "Verify apps over USB" in developer option
- still stuck at 50% after trying many times

Guide 2) http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html
- after successfully install the adb driver, within 10 seconds the phone is unlocked

Just give Guide 2 a try, it may save many of your time.

additional observation:
I noticed that when I connect RN3 to PC, the default is "USB for charging" and I don't see Redmi Note 3 in Windows Explorer.
I have to choose "Transfer Files (MTP)" to access RN3 storage (Windows Explorer show Redmi Note 3).

After I install the above adb driver, the Redmi note 3 is shown in Windows Explorer before before i click MTP.

I guess this maybe the root of the problem. When in fastboot mode, there is no option to enable the linkage between PC & phone. After adb driver is installed, the linkage is automatic as soon as USB cable is plugged in.
