Hi everyone,
my Oneplus 3 is history as of yesterday. I really liked it for the past years, but now I need something new.
My priorities have somewhat shifted so tge Oneplus 6 is just to expensive imho atm.
I had a Redmi Note 3 these past years as a backup phone and besides a few flaws it performed well enough.
Therefore I'd be thankful if some of you can shed light on a few things which may have changed with the Redmi Note 5.
- the Redmi Note 3 tends to get quite warm, especially in summer when you're outside. That just doesn't feel safe for the device. How are temps on the Note 5?
- the wifi has always been a thing on my Note 3, I have way worse wifi than with my Oneplus 3 or anyone else for thst matter. Has wifi reception gotten better?
- I can't stand Miui, I'm a stock Android guy. I need a stable, daily driver rom with a Vanilla Android look that comes with ota updates. How are we doing with this on the Note 5? Official Lineage coming?
Anything else that might help my decision making or would be good to know?
Greets & thanks in advance!
5 Doesnt heat much,
Never had a prob with wifi
Go for AOSIP very stable and snappy

I loved my Kenzo, was my first Xiaomi phone.
I find that this one heats up less than the Note 3 did, which would make sense, especially given the 28nm SOC that the Note 3 did.
Wifi is pretty good on this one, I don't have any complaints.
Plenty of options for custom roms, given that you can also use Treble based rom's as well.

I think, in the first line he mis-wrote note 5.
So it seems the Note 5 would be a good option for me...
What are your major downsides so far?

Wow, don't blow up the internet because of a typo.
I meant to write Note 3 Pro.
it's a good upgrade from RN3Pro, much stable, good battery life. This phone only gets warm if you play some games that stress the gpu.
It's not hot if you use it under the sunlight for hours, not like the RN3Pro.
it's a budget phone after all, don't expect the quality as high as the flagship one does. But for the phone in this price range, I don't think twice to buy this phone haha

A good suggestion from me.
Unlock bootloader of your kenzo, install twrp and flash miui 9 8.4.12 or 8.4.26 port by orochi with agni kernel 12.2. Then your kenzo will never heat and will work very well. No issues in these ROMS. These are the best ROMS I have tried and I am still using the 8.4.26 port by orochi.
You will fall in love again with kenzo.

Probably, but I just can't work with Miui. I need a Vanilla Android Rom. It's not that Miui doesn't look & work good, but I'm so used to Vanilla, I just can't adjust.
But thanks for the tip anyway!
I've been using a Oneplus 5T lately and bought a Note 5 "for fun". With Miui its kind laggy but gestures are pretty good.
Using RR on Note 5 now and it's quite OK, not as snappy as Oneplus 5T but fast enough, only gesture navigation is not really good (bad detection).
Happened when I had Redmi Note 3 Pro and is happening again, imho no point to spend more than what you spend for a Note 5 really (thinking my Oneplus 5T costed almost 3 times as much...).
RR = Resurrection?
I won't use gestures (besides quick pulldown & apo drawer opening), so I guess I'm fine there.
Honestly what could get annoying is the camera. But then again, the OP3s camera was rubbish aswell.

Definitely. I changed from RN3Pro to RN5 and I'm happy. I haven't feeled any urge to go custom yet (1-2 months since i got the phone). The only downside is you have to be carefull with updates, because Xiaomi has implemented anti rollback feature without warning people. Also camera still needs some fixes. But I'm happy i got RN5
Interested to hear more people's opinions. I'm still using my RN3P that I've had for over 2 years now. The only thing I'm really looking for from the RN5 is an improved camera. I replaced the battery about 5 months ago and am able to still get 8-11 hours SOT with it. Love this damn phone so much.
Placed my 4/64 global RN5 order a few days ago. Can't wait. Hope it is a worthy upgrade to trusty Kenzo.
All,
I bought Redmi note 5 Pro last month and noticed that it has screen casting issues. Waited for the updates and issues still exists even after many updates i received.
A quick google search shows that hundreds of posts from all over the world about Redmi's screen casting issues.
I have a Redmi note 4, which works perfectly, however not the note 5 pro.
I don't any solution around for this issues. I have tried to cast on VU 49" TV which has anyview cast, also tried on windows 10. it didn't work
Request you guys to help me here on this. if this doesn't am planning to replace my phone.
Thanks in advance
I am on last stock update and I have the same issue

Hello guys. I bought my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro one month ago and Im very satisfied with the device except when trying to post instagram stories they end up playing like 10-15 fps and video quality is very bad.
I have tried Pixel Rom and it doesn't do that, it posts the video smooth as original and video quality very high, but the problem with the Pixel Rom is that the notifications of Instagram won't work properly.
Can somebody help me to fix the stories problem
I would appreciate it, Thanks to all developers for your hard work.
Good day,
Is there any solution to PWM problem for Oneplus 5t? At lower brightness flickering is a big issue and i highly doubt that Oneplus will provide DC dimming via ROM update like with 7 Pro.
6/6T has custom Kernel that solved this issue. Do we have something similar for 5T? Or someone developing it?
Hope all are doing well.
I'm facing one weird issue on OnePlus phones. The issue is I have set the sleep time for 2 minutes and after some days/time it automatically switches to 30 secs. This is happening again and again. Earlier I was using OnePlus 5T and now I have upgraded to OnePlus 7T. I was facing this issue on 5T as well but that I thought there is some issue with my 5T only. But story is same for 7T as well.
Anyone have any idea/ Anyone is facing this same issue?
