[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pabloa2:
First of all I would like to say that this is a revised version of an earlier guide which focused on xposed together with goodix. Since Magisk 11.1 was released we can now have systemless superuser and xposed on this rom without much trouble. I will also list steps for F2FS on data/cache but I won't be doing a guide for those of you with roms without Radon kernel built in because it is a pain in the you know what and I already laid out the steps in a previous guide.

So, first of all here are the things that you will need:

Links at bottom of page

a) Any version of Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 for those of you using EXT4.

b) My version of Resurrection Remix FK 5.7.4 with Radon built in for those of you using F2FS

c) gapps

d) Supersu 2.79SR3

e) Magisk 11.1 zip

f) Magisk Manager apk or internet access to download from Play Store

g) Xposed v87 johnwu edition (systemless)

h) Xposed material apk

i) Radon kernel installer

j) goodix patch for goodix fingerprint users

k) Arise swansong installer (I am using v2.90 at the moment without issue)

For those of you using F2FS follow these steps first:

Make sure you are using my version of Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 with Radon built in. See above.

a. Using a F2FS compatible recovery such as Strix M4-0, wipe all partitions.

b. Convert data and cache to F2FS - in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Choose data partition > change filesystem > F2FS

c. Repeat step b for cache partition

d. Go to settings in TWRP and check "use rm -rf instead of formatting"

e. Continue to step 2a.

Now let's get to the steps to get this up and running:

1. If you are using EXT4 for data/cache go ahead and wipe all partitions and format data

2a. Install ROM + Gapps and reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery. Goodix users go to step 3. FPC users go to step 2b.

---------------------

2b. This step is only for F2FS users with FPC fingerprint sensor. If you have a FPC fingerprint sensor and want to stay on stock kernel you can skip this step and go to step 3. Install radon kernel then reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery.

---------------------

3. Install Supersu 2.79SR3 and reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery. (this step will block magisk from installing it's own implementation of superuser which currently does not allow a proper interactive shell in terminal)

4. Install Magisk 11.1 first and Xposed johnwu second using add zips. Reboot to system and allow setup screen to appear.

---------------------

If you have a goodix fingerprint sensor complete steps 5a - 5c. If not continue to step 5d.

5a. Reboot to recovery.

5b. Install goodix_fp_8.zip first and Radon 3.9/4.0 second using add zips (choose goodix). Reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery.

5c. Install supersu 2.79SR3 again. Reboot to system. (goodix patch will break supersu so this is necessary for goodix users)

----------------------

5d. Complete setup and install Magisk Manager from play store or apk.

6. Install Xposed material apk.

7. Done! For Arise audio continue to step 8.

---------------------

8. Open "AudioFX" app. Toggle the "on" switch to the "off" position.

9. Go to Settings > Apps and find "AudioFX." Click on it then click the disable button. Reboot to recovery.

10. Install Arise zip. Reboot to system.

11. Done!

Right now I have only tested a few things because there are so many options in the Arise installer. Don't use the "remove deep buffer" option because it presented issues for me and is unnecessary on this phone. Right now I am using Viper4Arise 2.5.0.5 with the default ICE audio configuration and default ICE preset. Everything else was skipped except the option to repair sd card permissions (why not?).

--------------------

Note: To pass safety net check install Xposed module "No Device Check."
