All are same as 3s ram,chipset,screen,etc
Custom ROM are supported on mi3s???
does that mean i can install redmi4 roms on a redmi3s?
of course not

You cannot install redmi 4 roms on redmi 3s prime because the processors are different
U did it ?
I read in another forum where one man install global rom from 3s to redmi 4. So device was bricked and then he can't install even official china rom for redmi 4 by MiFlash
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
Hi all,
I am very confused with the xiaomi naming
Am I right, that Redmi 3 and Redmi 3 pro are the same inside(difference only with Ram and storage capacity)
Am I right, that Redmi 3s and Redmi 3s prime and Redmi 3s prime global are the same inside (difference only with Ram and storage capacity)?
Am I right that I can use recovery and and any ROMs from these 2 groups? I can't use redmi 3 roms for redmi 3s variant (as there is different hardware)?
Global version is that it has some european LTE frequencies, can I use any rom from 3s version and I will not lose the european frequencies?
Thank you for the answers.
Yes, Redmi 3 and Redmi 3 pro has the same hardware capabilities, only difference is the storage and RAM
The same applies to Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime
You can't use Redmi 3 ROMs or recoveries on a Redmi 3S and vice versa..
I addition to what Kizoky said, the Global ROM has Gapps or Google apps pre-installed whereas the China ROM does not. To differentiate between the different types of official MIUI ROMs, read this... http://en.miui.com/thread-325627-1-1.html
Also, different bands may be enabled depending on where the device is sold. See these two posts...

I have also seen a picture of a box that says 2016037 so there are more models than covered in the above posts.
Closed as Redmi 4 doesn't have Kernel Source available

I can't find any dedicated forum of my new device Xiaomi Redmi 4
If any Mods can see this then please make one because XDA is the first place everyone searches for any new developments made to their device
If this device gets a dedicated forum then maybe it development can grow faster because not everyone goes to MIUI Forums because its not that convenient and not everyone can understand it but thats not with XDA
Its very easy for everyone to use
And in MIUI Forums the only development i see is for the China version
So It would be great if we get a Sub Forum for Xiaomi Redmi 4 (Indian Varient) | Codename - MMB29M or Santoni
So i request you Mods please make a dedicated Forum for Xiaomi Redmi 4
Thank you

Mod will only open subforum if there are actual development for said devices. Also kernel source are required.
Can you point thread for those two requirements?
Closed
REDMI 4= Snapdragon 430 and 2/16 GB RAM/ROM with codename PRADA
REDMI 4X= Snapdragon 435 and 2/3/16/32 GB RAM/ROM with codename SANTONI.
REDMI 4 PRIME=Snapdragon 625 and 3/32 GB RAM/ROM with codename Markw
STOP!
No Redmi 3s=Redmi 4 in India or other stuff.
Redmi 4 and 4X haven't kernel source i think, released kernel source needed for genuine modding and a dedicated forum
For now, only Redmi 4 Prime have Kernel source
amanu247 said:
The Redmi 4 (Indian Version) is known as Redmi 4X in China so i think this both device will share same developments
But i can't even find anything related to Redmi 4X on xda
There are Unofficial custom twrp recovery and some custom ROMs on other site like 4PDA but I don't find sites genuine as compared to XDA
So I was requesting for the forum because then no one will go anywhere else because everything can be found here
And Redmi 4 is launched on 26th of may in India so i think there not much development of this device
And there is a great confusion because Redmi 3s in india is called Redmi 4 in china and now Redmi 4 is launched in India which is called Redmi 4X in china
I don't know why Xiaomi is doing this
It would have been great if they have named the phone same globally
