will the redmi note 2 AOSP, CM rom work on redmi note 3?

since both the phone use same hardware except fingerprint scaner on the note 3 , will the AOSP , cyanogenmod and other custom rom made for note 2 work on the note 3? even the kernel seems same for both the phone

Nope, there are differents rom for 2 and 3, but I think porting can be very easy. Maybe with AROMA installer you can use the same rom.

Even if we can install them we would have to wait until the bootloader gets unlocked.

if you want a custom rom and u have unlocked bootloader then you can find a rom in xiaomi.eu .and yes the flashing method is the same as in redmi 3 .

well i dont think there is a global rom for this 3s atleast we dont have official global rom in miui.com so i recommend you to unlock bootloader and flash custom global miui rom from xiaomi.eu .i have done the same and its even better than the original.
i am using redmi 3 pro

You can have the ROMs for Redmi 3S here
http://en.miui.com/download-303.html

For official global rom, I think it's same method as redmi 3
when device is powered off, vol up + power, then download

Redmi 3 and Redmi 3S use different ROMs.

Redmi 3S development == Redmi 4 prada too? (2/16 version)

I'm still waiting for my phone to be arrived, but unfortunately they told me Xiaomi no longer distribute 3S, so instead they gave me the idea to keep a Redmi 4.
My question is, do Redmi 3S recovery/kernel, custom ROMs work on Redmi 4?
The only difference is the camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth everything is the same as Redmi 3S

Could you explain why it wouldn't work?
Redmi 3S and Redmi 4 both has the same chipset aswell as GPU

Maybe the current 3S development scene will be useful as an initial base for future development with the redmi 4, but we don't know if the rest of the hardware will be the same (touch input, RIL, microphone, partition table, etc etc.). If the hardware is different, devs will have to dig another models or brand source drivers, make new binaries, blah blah.
So if you're asking if a ROM built for Redmi 3S will work on Redmi 4, the answer is NO, and trying it is firmly discouraged.
If you're asking if 3S ROMs will share code or serve as base for Redmi 4 ROMs, the answer could be a YES, but a real dev should answer this after trying.

look the same

Make a full nandroid backup and try! We are interested wheater it works!

I compared every file, and It seems prada indeed is the same as land's 16GB version
There are some minor differences, but It seems they are really the same.
If you check this: https://github.com/Kizoky/android_device_xiaomi_prada
You can see that I previously created this for 3S, but I converted it into prada files, there aren't any huge differences.
One could flash a Redmi 3S Marshmallow ROM, but at the end reflash original boot.img to see If it boots.
Camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth may not work, but If everything else is working, then only these 3 needs some changes in the Redmi 3S' kernel If Xiaomi refuses to release Prada's kernel sources
Unfortunately Redmi 4 doesn't have a subforum like Redmi 4 Prime, that's why I created this thread, as Redmi 4 is very identical to 3S in every aspect.

Yes, most likely I would brick the phone, but I don't have the phone yet because It is still shipping
I will give it a few tests once I've got my hands on it and my BL is unlocked

i tried to install the redmi 4's lineage os 13 rom on redmi 3s and it perfectly booted i just replaced the boot.img of redmi 4's lineage os rom with the boot.img of redmi 3s's lineage rom cant the devs port the custom roms made for redmi 4 for the redmi 3s

It can be ported.
Earlier I stated that you can just simply replace the boot.img with Redmi 4's stock boot.img, but the performance won't be the same as in 3S, due to custom made changes in 3S' kernel which fixes bugs in the open source kernel. Some things like GPS wouldn't work

Okay, it seems prada has Goodix fingerprint scanner, just as Redmi 3S
I still don't know why it is very similar to 3S

Redmi 4a Rom

So I had searched for devices with the Snapdragon 425, I I had found the Redmi 4a on the list. Now, I went on the forum for the device and found lots of Oreo roms... I was wondering if because they have the same chipset, could their roms be ported to our phone (Qualcomm) to bring us Oreo??

Nope; be nice if ROM adaptation was that simple.

Nope. In the e4 telgram group a few ppl even went to the redmi group and asked if they could help. No dice.

Rom development?

Is there any ROM development for the note 7?
I would have thought with sources released a little while we would have started to see a few builds start to pop up?
I know im being a bit of a begging chooser here (as i ask being fully aware i cant contribute any expertise to any project.

Only GSIs for now. And i think there will be none custom roms...only a chinese TWRP.

Redmi Note 7 INDIA (lavender) (12MP+2MP) and Redmi Note 7 EEA/CN (lavender) (48MP+5MP) has separate stock ROM, will any rom built for lavender work in these three device?

can it be possible to forget about the Indian version of the phone, or to make the camera a separate patch?

I think because of the same device codename, a custom ROM for "lavender" will have camera drivers, patches for both Redmi Note 7 Global/China and Redmi Note 7 India.
