Can you try another cm-13.0 based rom (RR, cm13), to determine if the issue is in gapps or in rom side? I quitted using gapps some months ago so I cannot test it myself.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] J4jks:
After flashing this battery is jumping from, like 4% before connecting charger, after connecting charger it shows 7%

Before 18% then 24%

Is anybody facing the same??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Toying with the same idea. Are you using a replacement for Location? And Yaab?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
Location works without any gapps. I don't use any of those and don't feel the need to. Just get rid of this bloatware ! :)

Just flashed an old Snapshot build of CM13 (mirrored on cyanogenmod.org.ru) with the same Gapps, and the problem did happen o.O

Seems like a common CM/LOS 13 bug :/

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
In reference to our previous brief conversation about Gapps free Android system.

With no gapps the system is snappy even WITH a big portion of RAM utilised. There are no more background downloads that sometimes cause lags. It feels as if I installed a new ROM, but the difference is it stays that way, not the system getting slower over time. And one of the best parts is the lower power draw, e.g. draws less than 1 % power in idle in 8 h.

I am using my phone productively, not for gaming or facebook chatting. I wish there was a ready ROM that includes some form of calendar, todo and contacts sync, but without the full gapps. Because if I want all this it gets complicated (with my limited knowldege).

Anyway, I'll keep on learning and thanks to the OP and member raj_45.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Thanks again Raj! That is quite an extensive list, I'll review.

And my apologies for OT, I will shut up now abt no gapps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gismoZ:
Slight OT is ok, no problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
You could consider a version of this here with microG included. No gapps = way to go, friends.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
You can install it yourself, can't you? I don't use it and see no point in using gapps or microg for myself. One might also ask for versions with xposed or magisk pre-installed, etc. I guess one of the key virtues in this rom is that it's perfectly clean.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Yep I understand where you come from.

Yet, I tested Lineage OS 14 with integrated microG and I see the beauty of having it integrated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
Can you be more specific, please?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
All right. There are a number of components that need to be installed and set up, xPosed and Magix are a cakewalk, compared. The required new patching every time would be tedious. Lineage 14 OS with microG has everything needed already integrated. You install it like a normal ROM, once installed you set up the microG-part which is not harder than setting up Google services.

And what do you get?

- no problems with apps demanding Google Play Service

- the location service is as good as with Google network location

- 100% functioning push notifications (works actually better than Google).

I personally also set up Google Calendar sync and Contacts sync, WITHOUT Google services or Google framework. It works flawless and that's what I need, since my company uses this.

To make that clear I do prefer this ROM here. When I have time I will try my luck to set it up likewise.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
I see, thanks. I just don't use any Google services or integrated apps, and location works fine in OSMAnd or Navitel. It takes seconds.

Hey, [MENTION=7112426]gismoZ[/MENTION] , can u add spectrum app support?

https://github.com/frap129/spectrum/blob/master/README.md

Spectrum

A simple, profile based kernel manager.

How to add Spectrum support to your kernel

You'll need to add these 2 files to your devices ramdisk:

init.spectrum.rc

init.spectrum.sh

These files are included in the ramdisk folder in this repo. To use these ramdisk files, add

import /init.spectrum.rc

to the top of your devices main ramdisk file.

Next add your kernel name to the app. Open init.spectrum.rc and change "Electron" in

setprop persist.spectrum.kernel Electron

to your kernel's name.

Now just customize the 4 profiles in init.spectrum.rc to your liking! Profile 0 (Balanced) is the default, however, this can be changed in init.spectrum.sh.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gismoZ:
I do not see a reason for adding it. The kernel is already tunable and well tuned.

Also, I do not see a reason for posting the whole readme.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] sluogn:
I want to know v89 better v87 or not? I use v87 about 1 year and it's no problem
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
This one here is easy to revert if things go wrong, there so it seems is no reason to not install and try.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
[MENTION=7112426]gismoZ[/MENTION]

Any plans going 7.1.2?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
But why?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Then I wouldn't spend the time on microG-ing into gismoZ's LOS13. now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
Ah, I see. Idk what [MENTION=7112426]gismoZ[/MENTION] thinks, but I would stick to the approach 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. This rom works perfectly fine. And as to nougat ice candies, N-ify xposed module does this job instead. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
[MENTION=7612742]yoreek[/MENTION], I don't really care for the design of the status bar or anything like fake Nougat.

Are you not missing push notifications?

I meanwhile installed this ROM newly and set up microG core and all of the components properly. After doing it now for the 3. time I cut down the time to like 15 minutes. Now testing.

PS: I tried for many h, can not make Cal and Contacts make syncing. Everything else is fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gismoZ:
I am satisfied with 6.0.1, so for the time being no.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Good to hear. I diverted for 2 days to another ROM, NOS Oral Cookie + microG. But now I'm in the mood for trying again to solve my sync prob with this one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] kimpamyu:
If i use this rom + microg, can it sync with google contacts?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Yes it works, and so do all other functions except few apps that have map overlays.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
What do you mean? OSMAnd has map overlays and they do work in my case.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Yes Osmand overlays work, like hill-shades etc. They are downloaded to the own device.

Rain Alarm only shows the map but no rain overlay. The kind of overlays to be streamed and updated and not coming from the app itself but from some Google service, they don't show it seems. But that is the only issue so far. I'm using another app then.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] yoreek:
Maybe, but online overlay maps like traffic are displayed in my app. Although these are not related to Google. Sorry for the offtopic talk.)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
Yep that of course it works, as does everything else with this ROM. It's probably related to other Api.

PS: For those who need it, the Google Playstore can be installed in parallel, and without the other junk. Albeit I tried this on 7.1 only not with this ROM here. Face Unlock and all the other Google gimmicks however can not work. After they pull the fingerprints from the people now they mass scan the face data. Android 9 will scan stool sample I heard.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] peter-k:
For those interested running a Gapps free device but maintaining most of its functionality, there is an unofficial installer for microG and the needed components. It makes the installation process a lot easier, and it is working good for this ROM here. Install with a fresh install not on a setup that had already Gapps.

Sorry if it sounded so, I had no intention to roast anyone.

Marshmallow just works best with our RN3, including MIUI Marshmallow. And this one here just works perfect. Disadvantage: No Volte, no status bar lock on lockscreen, no pocket lock (use 3. party app).

I admit I don't know Pixel Experience. I just got rid of all Gapps stuff and don't intend going back.

While I found some versions of Nougat still working good, Oreo is not really good for our device. The best is Nitrogen Oreo. While I'm impressed about how well the developer made it work, it's still has disadvantages, such as the higher fuel consumption, and I found it runs somehow slower.

Downgrade from LOS14.1

I have searched on this thread and could not find the answer, so I am asking now:

I am running Customized LOS 14.1 by umang and want to try this MM build. Is this correct procedure of downgrading to MM from Nougat?

1) Format Data, Wipe everything except SD card ( I don't care about internal storage ).

2) Flash Latest Global Beta Firmware from Saurav ( Running latest firmware now as well 8.1.8 )

3) Flash ROM

4) Flash OpenGapps Pico ( any other alternative available? don't like gapps)

5) Wipe Dalvik/Cache and reboot.

6) After rebooting, flash Magisk 15.3, reboot.

7) Flash Radon Kernel and choose balanced profile from his control panel app.

If I follow this procedure, will I stuck at the bootlop?

Thanks for the help in advance.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] J4jks:
1)formating data every time you switch ROMs is not needed. Just wipe dalvick cache+cache+system+data+(internal storage that's your choice, no need)

2)Flashing Firmware once is enough, if you are in any ROM and switch to any ROM ,no need to flash again

3)flash ROM +gapps(or you can go without Gapps or can try microG setup). Flash magisk for root and Boot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] habitbuilderwarrior:
Thanks for your reply.

1) is this rom as bug-free as Los 14.1? I read some posts about cm13 ROM when people were flashing radios.zip and other kind of add-ons to make it bug-free.

2) Does new firmware affect battery life? ( I am confused if I have to stay on latest global beta firmware or flash older one for better battery backup).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] J4jks:
1)no issues with the ROM

2)no need if u feel no problem with signal and WiFi with current firmware you are on ,

If you feel latest one is always better you can flash latest firmware anytime
