[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Noter2017:
You really shouldn't buy this phone anymore, especially with a weak battery.

If you have $200, buy a Poco X3. The phone is brand new, it's great value for the money and it will be supported by developers for a long time.

Last week I bought my mother-in-law a Redmi 9C (3GB/64GB) for about $100 and it's very good for the money: you get NFC, a huge 5.000 mAh battery, a big screen and a good camera. It's a Mediatek processor and will never receive custom ROMs but that's ok.

Redmi 9C is much better than my Redmi Note 4. The phone your seller offered shouldn't cost more than $40-$50. A new battery will be about $10. Just make sure it's a Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon processor. Their is a a Redmi Note 4 with Mediatek processor and it won't run custom ROMs
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] heysnow99:
I'm still using my Redmi Note 4 (snapdragon) and was planning to install this lineageos 17.1 rom but I'm still waiting on a SD card that I ordered to arrive. Do you use/recommend this rom? I want to extend the life of my phone a bit more because I'm waiting for something like the Realme X7 Pro to be released in EU and then this phone will go to my mother. I'd like to know if there's a built-in screen recorder just like MIUI has, that can record internal audio, because I use it a bunch and will miss it if there isn't one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] J7User:
That hint is very valuable, this could've gotten me into trouble. The Redmi 9C is certainly a good phone, but likely without custom ROM not in my interest. The build material for the Note 4 is metal / glass, which i like a lot. The seller can lower the price to $40, but as you said there are some new phones really cheap available. This makes it a bit tricky, as i don't want to risk to brick a $200 new phone but older phones are unattractive in price / performance and Software support.

I bought a Note 9s a while ago. There's no custom ROM yet but the phone is very popular, and it has a snapdragon. I really want to get more confidence in what i am doing. There are many sources online to follow steps on how to install a custom ROM or even custom ROM development building kernel and stuff. My interest would be somewhere in between, more related with system maintenance instead of development: creating backups, fixing failed installation, recovering from backup, dual boot, etc.

I know the first thing to start with is learn some basic Linux commands and adb, but is there any recommended book / article with focus on above?

[20200912 Kernel:4.9]

I've found another 'buggy' thing that just drives me nuts from time to time.

Media playback is acting... weird.

Playing mp4 files in the gallery sometimes temporarily freezes the app, sometimes gallery ragequits and sometimes whole system becomes unresponsive for a minute. Gallery is just an example, same happens with 9gag, MXPlayer and Messenger.

Camera works fine, but reading QR codes freezes the app like above, but it acts *very* weird like cutting the video but leaving the overlay.

Last one, I don't know if it's a problem of Android 10 or specific version of the app, but recording things in Messenger is also a bit buggy. It either freezes during/after recording or leaves green artifacts on the video (but this one is very rare).

This all was tested and verified twice, one test was on "daily driver" copy and another on fresh, Magisk-less installation.

I'll stick to the rom tho, it's great.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lipippo:
I OTA upgraded to lineage-17.1-20201008-UNOFFICIAL-3.18-mido and now I have a strange problem:

I need to keep both a 4G connection and a wifi connection. The latter has no internet and it is to connect to a local device (the slave for AAGateway).

Previously (with lineage-17.1-20200910-UNOFFICIAL-3.18-mido ) the phone would use the 4G connection to reach the internet and the wifi to reach the local device. Now I cannot reach the local device if the 4G is active, only if I turn off mobile data.

For the time being I setup an hotspot on the phone and the local device connects to it, but I'd prefer to be the other way round (as it was before), i.e. the hotspot on the local device and the phone connecting to it and to the 4G network.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] kisecka:
Hi,rom is very smooth and almost no bug..Fair enough for daily drive.Just my trouble as all in custom roms LTE network speed is insufficient.When i was at stock rom network speed was around 30-35 mbits but now max.10 mbits.it is just one big issue for me.At home wifi connection 5ghz support 100mbits,its OK,But outside network speed really poor..☹️ anyone found solution for this??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] JORGETECH:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ManyPhones:
Hi there everyone!

Can I upgrade by dirty flash 17.1 UNOFFICIAL coming from LOS 16.0 OFFICIAL?

Do I need to update TWRP and firmware before / which TWRP version (https://dl.twrp.me/mido/) and firmware versions (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/mido/) do I need ?

Where to find upgrade instructions?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Alex01d:
Yes, you can.

I updated TWRP, firmware, wiped everything except data and internal storage, flashed this ROM and fresh gapps. And everything works fine. But it was months ago, so better backup your data first.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ManyPhones:
Meaning, that not touching the data partition will preserve my apps in the path \data\apps and their settings in \data\data, right?

EDIT: and not touching Internal Data will preserve additional app data in Internal storage with the path /sdcard/ (App Folder) or /sdcard/ XYZ

Backup is obligatory... (-:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ManyPhones:
BTW I wonder:

1. How can i check the trustworthiness of the zeelog 17.1 UNOFFICIAL build?

2. Same question for the "The Book of Mido" build.

I cannot see any references to the source code / repositories. Do I miss anything?

After all, there is a lot of personal and security-related stuff on the phones like banking apps, Authenticator, personal messages and mails.

3. And what are the differences between the zeelog and the "The Book of Mido" build?

Thanks for any advice.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] bnesic:
Book of Mido build?

There is only one up to date LOS build which works superb (fluid and stable). Buy a coffe to Zeelog.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ManyPhones:
I was referring to post #53 on page 6 of this thread with extensive installation instructions and many references - posted by user The Book of MIdo. Thought, that was another build than zeelog's.

EDIT: obviously that is a review "Review - LineageOS Unofficial 17.1 - Android Q - Kernel 4.9 - Mido 2020-06-13" referring to one of the Aryan Kedare builds. My error. EDIT OFF

I am am very happy that zeelog spends the effort to further maintain the phone, I am sure he/she makes a pretty good job.

However, I'd like to re-ask my question how to verify the trustworthiness of the zeelog build, because I think it is a general issue with unofficial builds.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] varun_77:
There is no issues with unofficial builds .Only difference is official tag,try zeelog builds and you will face no issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] _jaan:
december Zeelog's build is constantly (every few moments of usage) restarting Nova Launcher and taking apps down as well, making it unusable.

I am going back to november.

EDIT: I am on LOS17.1 kernel 4.9
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] MKKLR21:
My advice: switch to zeelog's 18.1 build. I dirty flashed from November 17.1/4.9 build without issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] _jaan:
yeah, since the december 17.1 build is called "FINAL" in release notes on zeelog's github, flashing to 18.1 is going to be best option fir the future.

nevertheless, for anyone wishing to run 17.1 lineage (there are some downsides in having android 11), december build does have some issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] melifarrro:
problem with the proximity sensor when making a call.

On all the latest builds of 4.9, there is a problem with the proximity sensor when making a call. The screen does not turn on. Moreover, this problem occurs only if the phone is not connected to a charger or it is only necessary to connect the adb, the sensor immediately starts working correctly.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lipippo:
I know that focus has shifted to 18, but I'm still using 17.1 by zeelog, kernel 3.18 and there's a thing that's bugging me for a long time: the battery is discharging faster than ever before. I think that maybe an app could be draining the battery, but if I look at battery usage (either with the settings or with accubattery, though the former usually says "not enough data"), the apps account for a few percent of battery usage.

Is there a more accurate way to measure battery usage and find the culprit or could be the system itself draining the battery?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] aphanic:
I was just roaming around the forum looking for different ROMs to spin on / build for a couple of devices when I stumbled upon your post :giggle:

Yes, there is, if you want to dig deeper there is Battery Historian and not only you needn't have root permission to use it, but there's at least an instance running online you can use at https://bathist.ef.lc

How to proceed (grosso modo):

- Enable USB debugging in the device, you'll need to use ADB.

- Connect your device to a PC where you have the Android platform tools, or the adb binary at least.

- Make sure the device accepts , running "adb devices" for example would show a dialog to accept in the device if it's the first time connecting from that PC.

- Create a bugreport by running "adb bugreport", you'll get an output similar to this one (outputs:

- Upload that file to the site I mentioned above and brace yourself :):

If you'd rather not upload the file there for some reason, you could setup your own instance too, more info on that here: https://github.com/google/battery-historian

But if you can't find the problem with it, or at least some sort of pointer on what's going on... I don't know what else you could try :(. Maybe enabling full wakelock reporting if the culprit is an app and analyzing a couple of hours like that, see the "Advanced" section on the GitHub repo for more details.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lipippo:
Thank you, that's very detailed, but, unless I'm misreading the report, I see that the "DEVICE POWER ESTIMATES" gives a 102.95% :unsure: of consumed battery by "UNACCOUNTED" :(

Next, if I check "Kernel wakeup reasons" the lion's share (at 574 per hour) is "unknown" :cry:

I'll see if enabling full wakelock reporting will give me more insights on what's using the battery.

This ROM needs a comeback. There's so many issues with Android 11 and kernel 4.9 on mido that I always revert back to this ROM. But now I lack any security updates
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] liv913:
What issues are you referring to?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] TigTex:
Mostly general responsiveness of the system and Wifi connectivity issues with BT enabled. With LOS18 I also notice that the microphone and call volumes are suboptimal (callers ear themselves)

I've tested other android 10 roms but I have things such as GPS not working (nusantara LTS), 2nd SIM not receiving calls (callers get "number is not available right now" with carbonROM). The best performing ROM for me was mokee (android 10 based, with 0MB of swap usage during most activities!) but I don't feel safe with some unknown APKs that are included with it.

LOS17.1 is just the best all around. I don't have a single problem although there are lighter alternatives (on my 3gb ram mido, LOS17.1 uses and abuses the ZRAM swap and there's a performance and battery impact)

My smartphone is my work tool. I heavily rely on MS Teams, dual sim functionality, bluetooth and Wifi stability. I can't get dropped of any call at any time. I always thing "hmm, it's time for a new phone" but them I remember that I can just flash LOS17.1 by zeelog and all my problems are solved.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Alv025:
Hello. I'm kinda new to this kind of thing and what you said got me interested. There were two versions for los 17.1 -- 3.18 and 4.9 for mido. If you don't mind me asking, which one were you referring to and recommend for use?

that's the link. To install magisk canary you have to first uninstall the stable version, then flash the canary. Just follow the instruction in the link. After uninstalling the stable magisk, wipe cache/dalvik, then reboot system.

After that, reboot back to recovery. To make sure everything fine, I suggest to dirty flash your ROM before flashing the canary version: wipe cache, system, dalvik, then flash LOS 17.1, gapps, magisk canary, reboot.

I've used the latest update of this ROM for two days and based on my usage, can give the following review:

1. ROM generally smooth, with decent battery life, particularly if we applied Ethereal custom kernel. Device temperature also wonderfully normal despite of its used to operate various app in online condition.

2. Encryption now fully functional. Maybe because the ROM now used enforcing selinux, and this is great news.

3. There are only two minor bugs that I'd like to report: first, the clear recent feature in the Trebuchet rather laggy. Apps resist closing despite we already pressed the "clear recent" for two to three times. The bug disappeared using other launcher, i.e, Lawnchair. Second, the "Expanded Desktop" feature failed to function or crashed.

But overall, this ROM deserve for daily usage, and I fully appreciate its developers for building this wonderful OS. Big thanks for them.

But there is no fingerprint option right? :P
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] larasadi:
As already stated in the OP by Aryan Kedare, this OS, as in most other Q-based custom ROM for MIDO, still unable to employ Goodix fingerprint, meaning this is still a bug that one days may be will be fixed. So just be patient.

This is not LOS 17.1 particular bug, but happen also to others Q based ROM for MIDO. To the best of my knowledge, it happen not because ROM developers are unable to employ Goodix, but because the fingerprint brand has never released its code to tweaker communities. So developers need more workaround to fix the bug.

However, if you use FPC fingerprint like I do, it can works normally. And if you still want to use Goodix, just switch to the official LOS 16 (android 9), it is the most stable custom ROM for MIDO with nearly no bug, including fingerprint.

Some advice please.

On Syberia for a while now and want to move to LineageOS. I see on the Telegram channel that there is a new build out with Goodix fixed and March security updates. I also see there is a discussion about unofficial builds using the Zeelog tree and official builds using the LineageOS tree. I won't pretend I understand the difference so here are my questions.

1. If I install official LineageOS 16, will there be an issue upgrading to LineageOS 17 when (if) it goes official. I assume not and that it will be done via OTA.

2. If I install the unofficial LineageOS 17.1, will I have any issues going over to LineageOS 17 when (if) it goes official i.e. would I just be able to dirty flash or would it need to be a clean flash? This is where the tree discussions I mentioned confuse me.

I know same developer for official and unofficial, but as I said, the tree discussion is confusing me.

While I am a linux only user since year 2001, I have a genuine doubt on why 4.9 series kernel is better than 3.18 kernel (apart from being the latest).

Does the new kernel in anyway enhance the user experience compared to older version.

1. Is battery backup

2. Sot

3. Responsiveness of the system in anyway (camera performance and speed)

By using new kernel.

Last but not the least, will the new kernel have a significantly better performance if used with UFS.

I hope, those who have used both kernel can shed some light based on their experience.

Thank you dev for the pioneering effort..
