I have been away in the wilderness for the past 5 years and I am trying to get back into customs roms.
I purchased from Amazon UK the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, so I assume this is classed is the Pro version.... its 3GB/32GB model
After doing some research on the forum. Is it true to say that the Stock Miui rom is the most stable rom? I am currenly on Miui 10.
Its nice but I would prefer stock android/pixel port with everything working plus gcam.
I Would prefer Oreo until Pie is stable enough, but after doing some further reading I get the feeling that Oreo based roms aren't stable or have I misread.
Thanks

Been on Pixel Expirience pie for over 2 months, more than stable enough for daily use. Didnt encounter any bugs, everythings working, just heard that cast is not working, but cant confirm as i dont use it. Most stable is ofcourse OEM soft, in this case miui. Wont recommend gcam as its not stable, atleast for global version front camera is bugged. If you start flashing various gcam patches this forum is full of, youll probably end up with same bugged gcam AND it will give you extra troubles, like no sound etc. Pixel Expirience without any modifications and patches works well. Btw "pro" version is only for india, they have different front camera hardware and gcam seems to be working well on it, there is also AI version which is exactly the same as global version, just with less network bands support.
Thanks for the reply...

No, its the same phone, but as i said, pro moniker is only used in india. Global model is just redmi note 5. Global and chinese versions are identical, apart from global supporting more network bands. Pro version is same as Global, but has different front camera hardware for some reason. If im not mistaken, it has 20mpx, while global/china uses 12mpx front sensor. They all support same roms tho, and all have same codename, which is "whyred". This forum is for whyred. Note5/5 plus is another device, it uses snapdragon 625 and has single back camera. I know, naming scheme is ridiculously confusing, but thats xiaomi, its not the first time. They use different names in different regions, and release many similar devices.

Hi
I just ordered a Redmi Note 5 Global version from Aliexpress and I want to buy a certain case for it, but it says it's for Redmi Note 5 Pro (which is the indian variant). Is it going to fit for the global version as well? Do both have the same design, size, button/microphones placements?
Thanks!

Yes, they are identical in design. It's only at the level of specs that the difference is

You will be able to flash Redmi Note 5 Pro Indian ROMs on Global version but the camera will not work because both have differents camera sensors...

I also ordered a Global version and I'm waiting to receive it but there is no specific thread for our device version. This thread/forum where we are now is for all Redmi Note 5 variants and all ROMs are compatible with others device with little difference.
To sum up, China and Global devices are the same and you can flash their respective ROMs on the other without issue, but the Redmi Note 5 Pro indian has different camera sensors from the above ones and you'll have bugs in camera if you flash China/Globa ROMs on it or vice-versa.
I hope everything is clear to you now
Thanks !! Now is all clear.

could someone please tell me the numerical model number for the Indian Note 5? Mine is M1803e7SH and I've seen it sometimes called Whyred -- but there is a lot of misinformation about the name. Also, even though it's called the Global Version, the Xiaomi listing for it is on the Xiaomi Taiwan site. (I wish manufacturers would provide more distinctive names for the different models and variants). Thank you.
I'm planning on getting a Redmi Note 5 since my old iPhone kept stealing my money due to broken parts and I'm on a tight budget.
The thing is, I don't like MIUI (or any OEM-modified firmware, honestly). So once I get the phone, unlocking bootloader and installing a LOS or RR rom is my very first thing to do, along with some audio mods like V4A or the newly ported Xperia XZ2 sound system.
And since this sub-forum title is REDMI NOTE 5 PRO, but every Redmi Note 5 availablein my country is NOT the "Pro" variant (it only have 13mp front cam unlike the 20mp on the pro), can I use any custom roms or mods on this subforum to a non-pro redmi note 5 device?
Thanks
Yep you can
Short answer yes.
The pro and the Ai are the same the Ai is for the Chinese market just with different carrier frequencies. If your one got the Snapdragon 636 you are right here as in some countries it's just called Redmi Note 5 /global.
Front camera:
China/Global: OmniVision OV13855 13 MP 1.0 μm
India: Sony Exmor RS IMX376 20 MP (f/2.2, 1/2.8", 1.0 μm),
thank you so much for the answers, cheers!
I'm looking to buy a whyred too (upgrading from vince). Does it matter if i get the 6gb or 4gb variant? I mean, from my logic, it shouldn't matter since that is hardware that has nothing to do with custom roms but still.. Can i still get all the custom roms available if i get the 6gb variant one? Or is its hardware different pertaining custom roms?

You'll still be able to flash any custom roms for whyred if you opt for 6gb ram variant.
Hello. I have just ordered a Redmi Note 8 Pro - 128 GB
I am living in Turkey so i am guessing it is International
I want to use the phone with stock rom
So is that possible for me to install gcam? Or are there any app that makes the camera even better?
Looking for your answers thank you
t.me/rn8pro_gcam
Doesn't matter if it's international or the others. But yeah there is ongoing gcam porting for the note 8 pro
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...oogle-camera-rn8pro-edition-wyroczen-t3990731
This is the unpopular opinion, but truth be told, GCam for this phone as it is now is super sub par comparing to the stock camera app. There is MUCH more development to be done. You're better off sticking to the stock camera app unless you want to be a tester for wyroczen.
I also think that other than the fun of trying out Gcam, the stock cam is better, using night mode and/or HDR.
My understanding is that the Mediatek processor is the main barrier to having a good working build.
Hello, I see it's a bit dead here but I hope it becomes active soon enough.
Anyway, was wondering if anyone has had any luck with the global rom version on your chinese devices?
Im looking for the same answer as well. Im deliberating between the OP8 Pro and the standard X2 but at the moment Im swaying to the OP8 based on availability of roms and basics like cases!
Id also be interested to learn if by flashing the global rom on a chinese unit if it would lose dual sim support??
I have both the oneplus 8 Pro and the Oppo find x2 pro Chinese variants.
Flash to the UK firmware on the oneplus and it works perfectly. The oppo is another story, can't flash the global firmware yet and the Chinese one is a bit of a nightmare.
I think I'm keeping the oneplus but the X2 Pro does have a brilliant camera.
Hello guys,
I intend to use the OP 9RT in Brazil buying from here:
https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005003395769541.html?spm=a2g0o.placeorder.0.0.3e906f4e7pHARF&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra
I would like to know if this "global ROM" version will come with ColorOS or OxygenOS? If it comes with ColorOS, is there a way to switch to OxygenOS by official means? No root in the case? Will all functions work? Including 4g/5g?

Hey. It's possible to switch from color to oxygen and back as many times as u wish. Basic computer knowledge just required. Therefore this shipper will do it for you, as it said on page.
Btw. i'd recommend you to take 9pro or 9r or 9 (clean) instead of RT. 9rt has(global) oxygen 11 right now, while oxygen 13 dev anounced for 10pro. They just started closed beta 12 for 9rt. More than that, i found oppo's color os better designed. Battery life also not that much fancy. I am a bit disappointed with oneplus. I wish i took pixel instead.

Hey dekimori, tks for reply.
You mean then that the global version ROM already comes with Oxygen, is that it? So coloros is only in Chinese ROM? In this case I couldn't understand why you recommend me not getting the 9RT? Could you try to explain better?

Yes, India version (global) comes with Oxy 11 - model m110, and Chinese one m111 with ColorOs. There are most likely a chinese version which shipper himself change to Oxy.
I not recomend you 9rt becouse of the slowest update in all 9, Nord, and even 8 series. While everybody already on Android 12, 9rt is still Android 11. Also for thirsty battery consumption.

Tks, I understod now. The problem is that the 10 series is 50% more expensive, out of my budget
Guys, apart from the problem mentioned by our colleague @dekimori , is there anything else for which you guys don't recommend the OP 9rt?
I would recommend 9RT for the best modem. It really has the strongest WiFi and mobile network connectivity over other OP9 models, even 9Pro. Please note a topic about 5g in USA. Looks like there are issues with indian OOS firmware in connecting US 5g. 5g uses different bands in different countries, so model for one market may work not as perfect as expected in country out of this market.
Personally I use it in country where 5g is not started yet. With 3g/4g it works perfect. I'm comparing with OP5, and it is notable better!
