At this time i recived my redmi pro yesterday. Which room is better the xiaomi stable original or the version of the developer. One problem is that i noted to much blotware in the original but which is better the xiaomi stable or the version of the developer.
The points that i count is battery and perfomance wich of them do it better??
Im Thinking to upgrade to the xiaomi.eu but the problem is that i dont want to putted at this time because i want to wait a month but it is so better the rom eu than the orginal of xiaomi in battery and perfomance ??
Do you note less lag or better perfomance in general
Those 2 firmware not much lagged in my opinion.
I'm currently using developer rom MIUI 8 7.2.24. Root and install twrp.
Delete chinese factory app using Titanium backup ( to get free space of ram).
Flash TweakOne.zip and TweakTwo.zip in TWRP from other threads, to get more juice.
FLASH Xposed v87 sdk 23 arm64 for MIUI.zip from SolarWarez in TWRP and Install Xposed Installer 3.1.1.apk
Your done

Hi!
Well, its my first thread in the Redmi 2 section. I'm quite experienced with other devices (Moto G, E, Zenfone 2), but its my first Xiaomi device (well, isnt exactly 'mine'. It belongs to my girlfriend) and I have some doubts.
Firstly: The stock firmware is based in KK. Is there an official MIUI based on LP or MM? If yes, is the memory management ****ty like the Moto's? (yeah, Moto's LP and MM was terrible for 1GB RAM devices)
Secondly: For the most updated stock ROM, is there a good custom kernel? Is there need to unlock bootloader or anything else?
Thirdly: Is root easy?
And most important:
Is there advantages to use custom ROMs like CM on this device? Will I miss some features? (camera quality - like Xperia devices)
Hi! It seems to have root out of the box, there is a system app called Security, and it lets you manage root permissions. For your other questions, I don't know. One important thing with this mobile: if you are using GPS in the background (like measuring distance of a trip) there is a setting to protect the battery that cuts GPS and background data off by default after x minutes. This took me some time to figure out, and it's turned on by default on my phone, and it was quite annoying... You can find this option in the battery settings, and can add exceptions or disable it entirely, but still...

Hey @Dan_Jacques,
So I'm relatively new to it myself (only had it for about a month), but have been heavily playing with it ever since. Here's what I've learned so far:
There's no official "stable" LP or MM MIUI ROM for the Redmi 2, but you can find official "developer" ROMs here. Keep in mind you have to find out your variation and see whether yours is a "Prime/Pro" or regular Redmi 2, and choose the ROM accordingly. The Prime/Pro dev ROMs are 5.1 (LP) based. Not clear whether the Prime/Pro ROMs work on regular Redmi 2.
You can also find the latest MIUI 8 developer ROMs on this thread from Xiaomi.eu.
I got sick of MIUI after giving it a good go, and have been happily running on official CyanogenMod 13 Nightlies for a couple of weeks now. Here's the XDA thread with setup instructions, and the one for the ROM development, so you can keep tabs on it.
I have it setup with OpenGapps ARM - 6.0 - Super, customized with my own config file.
I'm still not clear [conflicting reports], but I believe 5.1 (LP) based ROMs lock your bootloader, which then has to be unlocked by Xiaomi (from this page) before you can flash a custom ROM. This has been my experience, and it's possible I'm misunderstanding something, but it was easily solved by re-flashing one of the stable 4.4 (KK) based MIUI ROMs through Fastboot (which also re-flashes the bootloader), and custom ROMs/recovery utilities flashed smoothly then.
Good luck!
Since it seems You've been Answered , I would like to add few Points , Yes Redmi 2 (prime variant) has Got LP based ROM officially , Known As MIUI 8 , which is Coming out On 16th August for Everyone [Global Stable] , whereas if you're interested you can Try Out the China Dev , and Global Dev Roms that are already available ,
Note : Redmi 2 have KitKat Based MIUI 8 , but Prime's MIUI 8 (based on LP ) can also be used ..
And We have Several Official MM as ROM , CM 13 and RR being most Notable ones ..

Thanks a lot!
After 28 days waiting for my postal service, the phone arrived yesterday. (yeah, the Brazil's postal service is a crap). My device is the 2014819 model (appears to be a 2014811 variant)
After some hours, flashed TWRP 3.0 and MIUI8 KK based custom rom with root (available here: http://forum.miuirom.com.br/index.php?threads/rom-miui-8-miui-brasil-e-miui-global-6-7-21.506/ )
The phone is snappier than Moto G 2nd Gen (MM). Much snappier! And considering the specs (similar processor, same RAM, worse filesystem - Moto uses F2FS, Xiaomi ext4), the performance difference was greater than expected. Congrats, Xiaomi.
@minusfive and @rootmaster I found intersting the different 'base' of MIUI. We has KK, LP and MM (depending the device) base for MIUI8. Obviously I had the doubt: LP MIUI8 ROM is hunger for RAM like other device ones? For who that upgraded from kitkat, are the pros greater than the cons? (again talking about Moto G: the kitkat stock ROM was blazing flash, LP and MM are slow, with a terrible RAM management). I'm intersted with the [ROM][Official MiUi8 Lollipop 5.1.1][WT86047-WT88047] THUNDER_MiUi8-6.6.30 and the Jerrica kernel before try CM. Is it a good idea?

You're right, except for the last point. The bootloader does NOT get locked on LP based MIUI ROMs. Redmi 2 bootloader is always unlocked.

Hi, i'm looking for the lightest rom for my A3 2016, it hasn't got a lot of ram, so it could be useful.
Which is in your opinion the best?
Or should i stop un-useful services on a Tw rom to free ram?
Inviato dal mio SM-A310F utilizzando Tapatalk
I use revolution os it's quicker than stock. And a good stable rom with features. Highly recommended.
Thank you. But i would like to have less feature with the highest lighteness of the rom. I need all the ram available.
Is it correct to think that an ancient version of the rom ( for example Lollipop) could be more light than an actual one?
I'm thinking about to come back to the first version of the original rom of the phone ...
what i have done to my A3 2016 is this (you need root ofc):
install package disabler pro - to disable all samsung bloatware apps.
install greenify - this saves a lot of battery and memory as well.
install the 8 core kernel, this will speed the phone up a bit.
run trimmer (fstrim) once in a while.
use nova launcher.
with this the phone is really snappy and battery lasts very long.
i have also installed xposed framework to use sdcard as internal (Xinternalsd module and greenify extended functions module).
I'm using Lenovo A6000 1GB
I need a best & smooth & best battery backup ROM
For a daily usage
and I play some games like 8ball pool ,WCC2
Plss suggest me a best ROM !!
MM rom is good/ xosp nougat
Use stock ROM kk its good for bb and gameing also
If you want a stock ROM, use Kitkat version. However, if you are looking for a custom ROM, I strongly suggest you try RR by dev_harsh. Not the latest ROM but the 32-bit version July 9 release. 64bit is only good to A6000+.
I have tried almost all of the ROMs here in XDA but RR is where I settled. I haven't find a new ROM that's better than this.
P.S. July 9 Update Release of Ressurection Remix, 32 bit version.
Just my two cents.
I need a proper android, the atock android if you will. Any version will do but I prefer Kitkat as I have been on Kitkat earlier and I like to customize everything myself via GravityBox.
I could only find other custom roms and not the proper stock android. Is it possible that I simply flash any stock android on this phone, though I doubt that will work.
TWRP Installed. Backed up everything.

The only rom perfect for 1gb model is miui kitkat.
In custom roms u will find buggy lags in games.
And multitasking isnt good.
Ive tried too many roms but i end up with miui KK.
If i had 2gb ram model , it will be perfect for custom roms.
I like MIUI for others, not me
When I first saw an MI phone, I loved the custom ROM. I remember thinking, "This is the way for a normal user to have a little more customization without learning anything extra. It's great for normal users who just want to work with their phone."
I gave the first set to my sister, followed by my betterhalf, my mother, my dad, two friends, another friend, betterhalf's brother, again for my sister. These are the sets respectively.
Redmi 2, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi Note 2 Prime, Redmi 2 Prime and Redmi 3, Redmi 4 32GB, Redmi 4 32GB.
I love the hardware capabilites of MI phones, and that's the only reason I buy it. But after I buy it, I want to put stock android, root it, install xposed mod, install gravity box, install greenify, tweak it to my heart's desire and then I am good to go.
I cannot live on MIUI when I have to pull down the statusbar everytime. I just have a custom key for it. Same for the torch, and a lot of features by GravityBox that isn't available on any other ROM without an extra step.
The only problem with Redmi 2 was that I couldn't find the stock android, I have Lineage OS installed on it and then I tweaked it. This has some stability issues but great battery life. Proper usage, with GPS, Data 3g, Wifi at times, a lot of screeen on time.

The problem is I have a 1 GB model. Basically, gave someone a new set and took theirs in return because I like to develop. Anyways, Installed Lineage OS, Xposed Mod, Recovery, Root, Greenify, GravityBox and it works like a charm..

Hi all,
I got a used Redmi3s , So im planning to reset the phone completely and use it as a secondary Phone.. MIUI Rom has so many bloatware and im used to CM roms easiness and light weight .. So i had plan to Unlock BootLoader, Flash TRWP and Any Custom ROM .
Now is it worth to Flash Custom ROM as i need a stable rom with battery ?
Or i shuld just root the MIUI and Uninstall almost all Unwanted MIUI apps. My concern is mainly on apps which run on background and use my Internet ...
Hope to read some user reviews on CUSTOM ROM and Stable ROM ...
Custom ROMs are always better than MIUI in terms of battery, speed, updates,etc. But MIUI is what you pay for and stability is always higher. Since you've unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery, why not try a custom ROM and then decide.

Miui 9 is fast as advertised. And I believe the camera problem you mentioned must be about google camera or a new ROM which appeared recently. Google camera modded has that new bokeh features now available for our device. As a result, it has trouble with other functionality. But stock camera in custom ROMs have no issue at all. And there is a camera issue in Cosmic OS official which will get fixed in future updates.
Anyways it all comes down to your personal preference- MIUI or Custom ROMs.

Stock rom minus bloatware is better imo. I've been on stock rom minus bloatware for a long time. It's stable, bug free and I don't have to flash new rom every week. Battery life is amazing, 10 hr SOT.

I think steps is like
1 unlock bootloader
2.Flash TWRP
3. Flash SuperSU to root
and wat are the bloatwares which are safe to be removed

After rooting your phone install titanium backup to delete bloatware. Or you can also try this bloatware removal script
