Hi,
I just got the redmi note 5 ai(global) 2 days ago and so far not impressed with the game performance. In shadow fight 3 there are lag spikes constantly and in modern combat 5 there's some audio issues(audio cracking).
My phone's firmware is 9.5.6.0 global. Is it the firmware's fault? If so, can you guys suggest me some roms? I heard that chinese rom's performance is better. Should I switch to that or should I just wait for the next global release?(when is it coming anyway?).
Another thing, if I unlock my phone and flash a custom rom would it void my warranty? If I switch back to default before going to service center, everything should be fine right?
1- yes i have the same issue , sound cracking specially in SoundCloud and performance not equal for 636 chipset
but im still on the miui and waiting for update
2- as far as i know yes you avoid your warranty by unlocking your phone and you cant revert that
Unlock doesn't void your warranty, it's even written in the unlock tool.

Stay on MIUI till there is a update for global developer rom. MIUI is always going to the most stable. Xiaomi is working on MIUI 10. So we should see a release in next couple months. Next month we should see a update. Bug fixes and system improvements.
I would suggest you to install both miui 9.5 and LOS, thanks to Multirom
In fact (at this moment) i find LOS as stable as the MIUI (also if LOS is unofficial). You should really try something like this
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...
gsmarena has my phone as a Note 5 Pro its has the 636 chipset.... Am i in the correct forum? should I be in the note 5 / note 5 plus forum???

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.
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!
Hi.. I'm searching for a new phone to replace my f1.. I know the F3 is amazing and fast and everything.. I am asking is it worth buying now.. Because the new Samsung A series are more expensive and perform half as good as the F3 but they are new and will get supported until android 14.. Should I go with the old f3 in 2022 or should I wait for something newer. Like the f4 (I heard it has the same SD 870) so it's not much of a difference when the F3 is now on sale 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254.
Does anyone know if the Poco f3 will officially get the android 14 update next year.. I'm worried about the updates.. Because its already 1 year old and I don't know for how long will it still get updated
How is the phone in general.. And how's the battery life specifically?
it depends of how much you spend for it and your needs. F3 is powerful, smooth with a great display. camera is okay (with gcam), but proximity sensor is garbage and phone will unlock in your pocket when you receive a call. Also there a tons of good rom for it, like arrow os or crdroid. if you pay less than 250 euros it is a great deal. between 300 and 400 you could go for poco x4gt or f4, or realme gt neo 2 5g or gt 5g. also some snap 778 phones are great if you don't mind downgrading soc, like Samsung a52s which has great camera with ois and ingress protection, or realme gt master edition which is lightweighted, well balanced and can be found around 200 euros.
its not worth it now. better buy poco F4. non GT version. the one with SD 870 processor.
The 8/256 version was at 239 euros on amazon prime day and it was probably the best phone that you can get for that price. If the price is right, Poco F3 is the way to go
I bought the 8Gb versione on june 2022. Why the F3?? It is well developed on XDA, low price, do you need anything else?? Not for me. The F4 is similar to the F3 but it is expensive. This is why I chose the F3
F3 good at 200-240 euros. Like Amazon prime sale. Don't buy it in 2022 if the price is above 240€. There is OnePlus Nord 2 at 267€. OnePlus 9 with sd888 at 330€.samsung s21 ultra at 499. pixel 6
I've bought mine one month ago (8/256,325€ free shipping), and I don't regret nothing. The device is superb, and the custom rom support is amazing.
I've been comparing, with the other new members of poco family, and f3 beat them all on those comparisons.

I have a fresh f3 bought a month ago 200€ if anyone is interested can contact. Eu only
POCO F3 was also the one I chose. I bought it 2 weeks ago. I'm very pleased with it.
I bought the poco F3 2 weeks ago after a thorough analyze BUT this is my personal opinion based on my personal needs
My main criteria were in order of importance :
Good battery life : my previous phone was a Moto g8 power (2020) which achieved between 10-11h SoT for me. I would be comfortable with at least 7h for the new phone.
Excellent ROM support on XDA : at least one official ROM
Amoled screen
Powerfull : above 40000 pts with AnTuTu V8
Non curve screen
350 USD max (shipping included)
After cross-comparing a LOT of phone on gsmarena and XDA, I came down to the Poco f3.
Hope that helps
BTW, comparison between Poco f4 and f3 with Gsmarena shows differences only in :
Camera area
Better fast charging
Worst endurance (battery life)
It was not significant for MY purpose.
Whatever you do don't get Samsung as it's not at all developer friendly compared to Xiaomi devices.
For instance Samsung deliberately removed fastboot and replaced it with a fake empty one that doesn't even do anything.
Then they force your device to be selinux Enforcing at all times and even setenforce 0 doesn't work. To go permissive you must first hack your own kernel. What a joke...
Bought it for 229€ during Amazon prime days, I just unlocked the bootloader and installed the miui eu rom.... And I can tell you that it's a beast for my usage... This phone will probably last 4-5 years for me.

Hey Guys,

1) miui 12.5.6 global stable - worst battery life, not good & not consistent
2) miui 12.5.5 global stable - currently using now decent battery life with SOT 5 - 6 hours, some time 7 hours SOT, but overnight battery before & after sleep not consistent sometime eat 2~3% sometime 5%...
3) Saw youtuber suggested miui 12.5.3 global stable & below that number rom will be good battery life so any users using miui 12.5.3 global stable can you post/show battery life result is it true good ? Appreciate your sharing

If your POCO F3 still under warranty than immediately send to Xiaomi center to complain & fix, They has help me & my parent (Both device) fixed to change New sensor & Yes after change it become much better specially less black screen during listen Whatsapp/wechat voice message...
Its late august and there isn't much dev support for the f4. Is the f3 still worth it or should we consider any other device?
if you reach the conclusion of getting a poco f3. Get mi 10t instead
