Well, I'm not a developer either but I can tell from my experience that you can breathe new life into your GNex.

I did so in 2014 when I decided to install CM11. Everything worked just fine except for one problem I encountered in connection with the

Google apps I installed as well - there was about 4-5% battery drain/hour in stand-by which I was not willing to accept. So I decided to

scrap all google apps and after flashing CM 11 without goolge apps I was back to 1%/hour (or even less) during stand-by. Apps can be found on F-droid or aptoide.

I still use it as a daily driver because it serves my needs perfectly. At present I have CM12 nightlies running and they good for daily use.

Battery life is very good; camera issues (videos used to have a small green/purple line on one edge) are gone and overall performance and stability is very good.

However, I can not tell whether Android Pay works as I do not have G-apps installed and I guess that you will not be able to do anything regarding 4G.

There are special kernel-versions that allow a higher CPU-rate; at least they existed for CM11 /Android 4.4.

I found this link on a German linux blog:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-fancy-kernel-r50-t2115590

Anyway, you can still use it as a daily driver and spend the money for a new device for other purposes.

Has anyone tried this.

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/rom-mellowmallow-debloated-60fps-camera-t335834

It would be interesting to at least have a few mods and as blocker on marshmallow. I could live without root with ad blocker and de-bloated.

I'll give it a try and see if we can use this method on our variant.
[Verizon LG G4] g_ding84:
Just a quick update. I got send_command to work. However after making the system.img using the backup command, rebooting forced a data factory reset.

I will try to unpack the system.img from the KDZ

If someone else would like to try to see if they could make a backup system.img using the method I tried. Maybe we could get de-bloated and ad blocking going on marshmallow. Make it a bit more tolerable.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Have you tried the debloat tool? Doesn't require root. Non root ad blockers don't work very well sadly. Even if you make a rooted system image, the kernel won't boot on mm.
[Verizon LG G4] g_ding84:
Yeah I know root won't work due to the kernel flag.

Just looking to add a hosts file, de-bloate and add a custom boot animation.....maybe some other stuff.
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
That's not quite the point. If we can now modify the system.img ad-blocking, and debloating, can be done without actual root.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
it's exactly the point. Modify the system image any way you want, with root or without. If you flash that modified image on mm it won't boot.
[Verizon LG G4] g_ding84:
Not true. Modified with root and it won't boot. But just modified with a hosts file and de-bloat it will still boot. (Why I linked the sprint G4 section in the OP)
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Hmm interesting. I didn't see that as your link just gives me an 404 error. I went browsing around and seems being careful doesn't trip the SELinux at boot.

Due to the fact that some users run into issues when flashing ROMs for Redmi 3 to a Redmi 3 Pro and loose the antenna functionality (in my case due to lost IMEI) I open this thread to collect ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro.

From what you get delivered as stock via the OTA update to latest version as of now - 7.3.2.0 - works fine.

Other ROMs I didn't manage to get connected, even though I managed to let the IMEIs re-appear.

bro how do you root a redmi 3 pro anyway i tried to flash some roms but i cant because my phone is not rooted
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] flashkobalt:
Hey man, I think I have the same problem. I tried to flash CM12.1 by nehz onto my pro, but the antenna isn't working.

How did you fix yours/get your imei to work?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] _Derk_:
Until now I didn't find a way apart from flashing pre-rooted ROM.

I tried different ROMs but none worked, so finally I flashed "Rom_Stock_Xiaomi_Redmi3_V7.1.1.0_Full_Unbrick_ManhIT.zip" which brought me back the IMEIs but not the functionality as this is for US-bands using CDMA. So I finally flashed to the latest ROM I got via OTA prior to testing and this was "ido_xhdpi_images_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_cn_63f5a9da5a.tgz" which gave me back the functionality as usual.

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] WaKaManG:
Yes, it is based on the official xiaomi.eu rom. Don't know what exactly was customized.

Did you try the custom version ?

Yes, cm13 rom's have some annoying bugs.

Haven't seen a new build for quite some time now. Hopefully next builds will have some fixes, instead of new build with same bugs.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jimaro:
The OP mentions that it works for both. I am having a suspicion that this ROM is the same posted by W@k@M@nG.

Link for the vietnamese post: http://choimobile.vn/threads/locked...ong-can-unlock-booloader-co-tieng-viet.66360/

Link for the xiaomi.eu post: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-5-26-last-miui-7.31811/

Could anyone confirm this? I doubt that Rom cook has their own version. Even the change log seems similar. The only difference that I see is that on Rom cook the dev says that it has SuperSU and you don't have to unblock the bootloader. It might be his/hers contribution to the existing xiaomi.eu.

Also, ingbrzy@xiaomi.eu says that

Find more info about MIUI8 here http://en.miui.com/thread-281881-1-1.html

It looks promising with features that I recognize from CM. The community seems much more focused and concentrating their efforts in one direction. Not bad!

I personally wouldn't mind rolling one of these versions until a robust CM13 shows up -- frankly, it might never arrive ;).
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] _Derk_:
Well I tried 2 ROMs based on the Xiaomi.EU ROM and can say that these have led to troubles in my case.

The phone locked the bootloader during flashing so no normal booting was possible until I again unlocked the BL.

May be this only relates to my hardware version as there are 5 different around marked 2015811, 2015815, 2015816, 2015817 and 2015818.

Mine is 2015817.

As of the higher battery consumption on these ROMs I went back to my old ROM.

no need to unlock bootloader

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jimaro:
WOW. Thanks for the input. MIUI8 seems like a huge compromise for little UI changes. I'm seriously considering going back under these circumstances.

ManhIT's builds don't lock your bootloader. The ROMs flash custom recovery as well (via download/ fastboot). I don't see why you shouldn't be able to flash it over a unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jimaro:
I've ran some tests and this is what I've got running MIUI8 (6.6.23). How does it compare with MIUI7 (6.5.12)?

Charging time from 0% dead (start off, turned on immediately) to 100% in exactly 3 hours with a 2.0A/5V charger

Light-medium use. Had battery saving on starting with 9%: 2d14h (Android System 28%, Android 11.2%)

Screen-on time: 7h43m (26% battery)

Antutu: 35847
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] _Derk_:
Charging from 13 to 100 in close to 4.5 hrs in MIUI8 vs. 2.5 hrs normally in 6.5.12 (phone on but in standby)

Antutu 28k in MIUI 8

Antutu 39k in MIUI 7 6.5.12 and as you can see more tasks running in background as Lama...

Second space is nice, extending screenshots a real top feature but not worth the difference to me...
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jimaro:
As for Antutu on MIUI7, clearly, it is higher score. As for the chargin, I didn't actually looked at what it was estimating, but I was looking at the clock - real 3 hours. Not sure why Antutu scored so low on your MIUI8 setup.

I will soon receive my QC3.0 and will test charging again from dead to 100%. I'm sure it is going to be quite a difference. I'll post it in a couple of days.

Good to hear about your comparison. It seems that the SpaceX/Manh_IT MIUI8 is getting better. Did MIUI7 charged faster than 2 hours? I guess that on a 2A/5V charger it is slower anyways. I ordered my QC3.0 on Aliexpress for 7$. As for the WiFi/BT, I guess it is still not as optimized as the MIUI7 was.

Right now, 6.7.7 is the latest version for Redmi 3/Pro .

The phone itself is a good one for the budget, but Xiaomi tries to be a mixture between Samsung and Apple, they had Redmi 3 and Redmi 3 Pro. Then came Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Pro, later Redmi 3X and don't know how many Redmi 3 more...

Android 6?

Buy a Redmi 2 or a Redmi 3S!

International languages they listened to the community and finally released a global ROM just this week - so 7 months after Redmi 3 product launch.

Support?

If you get it from other users in the forum which is a fanboy forum and tech facts are hard to find.

Twice a day people are asking the same questions over and over as noone cares to pin a FAQ to the top...

Sorry, not my piece of cake, if then the moderators blame you not asking the correct questions to a threadstarter if you remind them that what they requested can't be given by the threadstarter due to the error he reported.

I slipped out of supporting other users and wait until my replacement is here, hopefully in 2 weeks.

It comes with Android 6, international languages, European LTE support, a forum with at least one competent paid employee caring the users issues and... it's waterproof :D

It is not only about hardware specs and performance. A product is more than what meets the eye. It is it's whole environment (support, community, bugs, ROMS, customizations, where and how you get all these, etc.)

I tend to agree with _Derk_. If it gives you headaches and have to flash every week for little bugs or there is confusion in their product line or disrespect from the owners, you could lose interest in their product.

In the end, this is a dev's forum where people hack their devices a lot but I think the last word is still up to the end-user. Where do you draw the line?

[MENTION=4023132]_Derk_[/MENTION] what device are you going to have?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] _Derk_:
I ordered a BlackView BV6000

Faster CPU, a little larger battery gives Antutu value around 50k and over 10 hrs SOT.

And as I mentioned LTE B20 which is important in rural areas in Europe as well as multilanguage Android 6 and a superfast locking GPS...

For people not needing waterproof it's a bit too thick but I plan to use it a lot while in the pool as I pass the European winter in Asia and use to take my breakfast in the pool :laugh:

Same price as I paid for my Redmi 3 Pro - $160 incl. 32GB SD was the offer...
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] vlt96:
That looks fine, but Redmi 3 Pro already has unofficial MM, and LTE bands can be unlocked.

The problem with that phone is that it looks like a black box. And the stock ROM looks like a Gingerbread skin... Mediatek chipset is your guarantee you'll never get away from 6.0. Or that skin. And Android N is coming this month.

2 years ago my uncle had a CAT phone. I had a Moto G. Which has water resistant coating (though it's poorly applied and I wasn't that lucky). We were arguing, since he paid twice for it. He threw it on concrete. No scratch. I threw it on concrete. No scratch. Then he threw it in a bucket full of water and left it there with the screen on... I just showed him I had the latest Android, and he was stuck on those blue icons and 256 MB of RAM with the worst dual core mediatek CPU there was. Yes, that phone was stuck on Jelly Bean forever and I went on to have 6.0 on my (next) Moto G. The one I was afraid to throw in the bucket I actually forgot in my pocket when I went to the beach. But not even that CAT phone could survive salt water. Salt water is a b****.

It depends on what you need, though. My uncle then made some really poor choices, got a Galaxy S3 a few weeks later, broke it in the next month, got another, broke it again. I think he has some Xperia now, which is both resistant and software friendly.
