[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Xaif:
Hi guys,

I'm building an extra lean LineageOS 14.1 ROM for mido with a few added features. A lot of packages have been stripped down, only the bare minimum is built to provide a fast and stable ROM. That gives you much more freedom as you can install exactly what you really want from the Playstore. You can install most of the missing packages manually, they are available in a flashable zip on the server (see second post).

The work on this ROM is done by @Dark_Eyes_ he is been working too hard too add some extra features on this ROM. Thanks for this best ROM.

My approach for DARK ROM 14.1 is slightly different than for DARK ROM 13, as I try to add as many Pixel features as possible while keeping a solid LineageOS base.

SafetyNet

The ROM is already designed to pass SafetyNet out of the box. No need to lock the bootloader (which I advise you to do ONLY on a pure factory image install) because the kernel has the patch for it. If you want root, you'll need to install Magisk, which comes pre-rooted. Then, enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager, hard reboot and you should be good to go. Also, do not enable busybox in Magisk Manager, that will cause you to randomly lose root. You'll get all you need to know on the Magisk thread.

ViPER4Android/ViPER4Arise

The ROM is designed to work with both ViPER4Android and ViPER4Arise out of the box without the need for SuperSU or any Magisk module. The SEPolicy already contains the necessary permissions for them to work even in Enforcing. All you need to do is flash the package of your choice.

Installation

You will need latest radio and latest bootloader

Latest TWRP recovery is highly recommended

If you want HDR to work, you will need to keep Google Camera 3.2.045 (all newer versions won't work)

If coming from any other ROM

- Backup first... always backup first

- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

- Install DARK ROM

- Install provided GAPPS (mandatory)

- Install root package of your choice (I recommend Magisk)

Enjoy !

If coming from a previous build of mine

- Backup (you know it)

- Dirty flash DARK ROM

- Install root package of your choice

Enjoy! (if anything goes wrong, clean flash)

Donations

Please consider a donation if you like my work ! I spend a lot of time and effort working on this, so if you can spare a few bucks, please buy me a beer (so I can relax when I'm stuck on a stubborn bug) or a coffee (so I can work on it later in the night). If you decide to do so.
