Is there a way to enable 4g on redmi note 1 even if it doesnt support 4g ? Are there any work arounds?
No. Of course not. 4g is a hardware related feature not a software based.
you can't enable 4g by software without hardware support
Ty, well just asking to see if there are some tweaks in the hardware and software all so it could get 4g. But anyways cheers and ty
Hey guys,
There is a international version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) which also supports LTE Band 20 which is substantial for me considering buying a new phone.
What is also substantial for me, is xda's devs and custom ROM support. So as this obviously is different from the standard Kenzo (also 2 mm thicker), I asked myself if all the Kenzo ROMs will plain work for it, too?
As the networking band support is also part of the system I slightly doubt it. But it would be great. And if so I would by it instantly.
Here's the phone: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_502848.html?lkid=10204748&utm_source=tt_de
Anyone can give some advice on this (asap, as there's China's Single Day Sale today ).
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Seyron
It does work. I had a kenzo without band 20 and had RR ROM installed. Now i flashed my new Kate with the same rom but with Kate Modem.zip and I have it fully working with good LTE 4g reception.

That sounds great. As you own the phone and it sounds like also some time now, are there any concerns to consider about it? Like something is really bad? Camera, fingerprint, sound, display?

I just got the Special Edition with the 11/11 sale. I always thought Special Edition and Internation Version were the same thing! Now my question is: what's the difference between these two versions, besides the 2mm?
As for ROMs (and even accessories): Kate I feel has enough options to allow me to have made this purchase, especially since I won't be changing them every other day.
EDIT: Look at the specs deep into the Gearbest page:
> Product size: 15.25 x 7.60 x 0.87 cm / 6 x 2.99 x 0.34 inches
It's the International/Special/Kate edition - not Kenzo+ as you thought.
I'm planning on buying the 4gb 128gb version from aliexpress, but there's no vanilla android(Pure stock android) rom for this phone. The reason why I want stock Android is because I need Gravitybox as it's a must when I get a new phone. So will we see an AOSP rom anytime soon?

I was thinking of buying one of those as well but they all have dealbreaking issues.
OnePlus 3T: Poor display for VR
HTC 10: Too small
Honor 8: No 4K recording
Guess I'm stuck with the Axon 7.

And software is a bigger deal breaker than all of those things you've mentioned. At the end of the day, you do whatever you want to do, but the Axon 7 isn't as good as any of those mentioned phones, solely on the software experience and dev community.
We have an almost working CM13 that many use as daily driver and, IMHO, CM does not need Gravitybox (I agree AOSP badly needs it).
But if I could go back, I would take a harder look at OP3T for exactly the software issue.

Gravity box works except for the quick settings tweaks.
Hola
Just to add my experience, I was one of those who really was interested in the Axon 7 since it was announced earlier this year (MWC 2016 in Feb??), so I purchased it the instant it was released. The hardware is undoubtedly top notch except:
1. The crappy capacitive buttons that are placed too close together.
2. Stupid vibration setup - Either on or off with no vibration intensity configuration.
3. Non-existent granular volume level controls - Yes you can increase or decrease the overall volume, but the increments are too far apart (this could be a software limitation though).
So I've used it for a month or so but because of the lack of a near complete AOSP or CM based ROM (mostly due to ZTE's slowness in providing source and a number of proprietary blobs), I really yearned for my ability to try different ROMs and flash different add-ons like I was accustomed to. So I end up buying the OnePlus 3T. Man it was nice to use and experience a phone that can garner so many devs. If only the 3T had dual front facing speakers, expandable storage, and that QHD res screen, then it would have been the best of the best in my opinion.
I am now back to using the Axon 7 using one of those slightly modified ZTE based ROMs with Xposed. I consume a lot of media on my phone. I still keep my 3T for testing out new dev ROMs like RR or CM.
Seems like OEMs can't make a phone that provides great hardware (e.g. A7) while providing access to firmware sources and letting dev community to thrive.

Sorry bruh, I'm not a developer, and I didn't like programming much. Someone should port a stock rom from Oneplus 3/3t to this phone instead. That would be great.

Oneplus 3T? Nope, no card slot. HTC 10, overpriced junk, and single sim. Honor 8, Hisilicon Kirin, nope. I prefer snapdragon because most apps on the play store, and some special features are made uniquely for snapdragon chips.
Not interested in cm13/14 because I can't use gravitybox on it.
So the Axon 7 is a great buy. The 4gb/128gb version if sold in most countries will actually sell like hot cakes.

No CM13 doesn't need gravitybox, but I find more features on gravitybox than on CM13. CM13 doesn't work really well with gravitybox as I'm using it on my current phone till Rovo builds xposed for Android 7.1, and I'm currently experiencing some automatic shutdowns on this rom. I own a Jiayu s3,(Has a mediatek chipset)and I'm looking to upgrade to the Axon 7 because of the amazing speakers and the camera.
On the CM13 thread, it says that the GPS is working, but something is written about QC location. What's QC there?

I actually need the quick settings tweaks because I need the switcher. 2g only, 3g only, 4g only, 4g/3g. It's important because sometimes the phone automatically switches from 4g to 3g if it thinks the 4g signal is less. And 4g uses band 3, 1800MHz whereas 3g uses 2100MHz(no clue about the band number here).
So I need to keep it on 4g only in this case.
And in some areas, neither 4g nor 3g is available, so I'll have to make do with 2g.

Qualcomm izat doesn't work but then again that is mostly superfluous if you have Google services.
Right now, GPS works on Cm13 but is not super accurate {probably 20 meters or so}

Gravity Box work perfect on Stock Rom, no need of AOSP ROM for GB to work.
Gravity Box and App Settings (v1.13) are my have to have modules in Xposed and they work great.
IMO the axon 7 is better than the one plus 3 or honor 8 (in terms of hardware) but the lack of roms is definitely a deal breaker for some people. However in about a week or so I'm going to start working on porting AOSP to the axon 7. Iv'e never ported a rom before so I can't make any promises on when it'll be done (if ever lol). I know a thing or two about programming so I think I'll be able to figure something out, so stay tuned!

It wouldn't be easy starting out now, and it'll take a while. You could start by heading over to the op3 thread and see any AOSP Marshmallow rom.
Then maybe ask in the Q&A section for porting this rom to the Axon 7.

Damn. Yeah it interfered with the system quicksettings, and caused a bootloop. I think I might have to go with the CM13 rom in this case.

Same thing happened with cm14 for the Moto X pure, once it got finished, more and more 7.1.1 roms started flooding in xD.
Bought a S7 (935F) to replace my failing Nexus 6 (great phone, great ROMs and development, but not so great camera)
It looks like as far as volume the Superman gets a lot of attention ..... And then I see a loyal following for a few others.
Could any of you (mainly AT&T users, since that sometime effects these international phone ROMs) that have a few minutes could you please share which ROM you use and very briefly why. The setup is a bit complicated especially with N and new CSC issues ( VoLTE and I wish WiFi calling)
Thanks
I have a 935F running on Straight Talk ATT, using Superman or King of Nougat, custom kernel is Apollo with max CPU and GPU overclocking. Completely stable.
The reason those two ROMs are my favorites is because they provide all the features I want for free. Other roms may require you to buy a Playstore app to unlock features.
Since my MVNO doesn't support VoLTE, I can't comment on it. As for WiFi calling, I use Google Voice via WiFi or 4g with no issues, though I suspect you're wanting a more carrier-specific answer that I can't provide because of the MVNO thing.
As for CSC, just use the Nougat default of Great Britain and you should be OK (again, VoLTE and WiFi calling may require carrier-specific CSC)

None of the custom roms support double tap to wake.
There are apps at the play store that can do it if you
find a compatible one, there are many you can try.
Read the last update dates before trying one so you
won't be wasting your time on a 2-3 year old app
which is not compatible to newer android versions.

Hello,
Many people already asked this question on many other forums, and they have been blamed by everyone because people consider stupid to buy an A1 and ask for a MIUI when you have Mi 5x that's identical and already run MIUI rom.
THOSE PHONES ARE NOT IDENTICAL
In fact, A1 runs LTE (4g) bands that Mi 5X doesn't have. In Italy the majority of the LTE is on Band 20 for example, and this is the reason why A1 is having lot of success like the other phones with a GLOBAL version (Redmi 4x/Redmi Note 4 Global etc).
What we're asking for is not a rom: the rom already exists.
What we're asking for is not a porting: the phone's HW is THE SAME so there's no need to work or fix anything.
We just need a way, a tweak, a solution, a trick, a "something" to avoid the A/B partition problem and flash the xiaomi.eu rom for Mi 5x on A1 to have a FULLY UNLOCKED phone that can use ALL THE LTE BANDS and also all the advantages of the MIUI rom.
Can somebody help us, now that you know that's not only matter of "PLS port MIUI on A1 cuz it's beautiful plz plz plz"
As italian, i'm totally afree with you...i just want the MIUI features and the 20 LTE band.

MIUI has an optimisation than stock Android hasn't. RAM cleaner on the Recent tabs, Security Center, Built-in call recording, sound recorder, dual space (that for dual SIM it's very important) and many others and features..
I guess when kernel source is available developer will be able to port miui regardless of band and any other limitations..

Miui has very aggressive optimization that I hated, because many apps had misbehaved, I always turn that off. Ram cleaner is nonsense but you have it in stock android too. The options in security center, call recording, sound recorder can be achieved by 3rd party apps. Dual space is like 2nd account.
Don't get me wrong, I generally like miui but there isn't any option that I miss, and multitasking is way better in stock android, apps doesn't get killed after 10 minutes.
Stop forcing your opinion on others by asking why do we need MIUI when have stock android which is better. It is just basic preference. I like MIUI over stock android and perhaps over any custom rom. It is personal taste.
Do I know that MIUI is not as optimized as stock android? YES.
Do I still want it? YES.

I guess that was meant for me (next time pls quote me). Well I have my opinion an I feel free to share it, as you share yours which I appreciate.
I still think that there is nothing that miui has that can not be achieved in stock android. It's just the cosmetics that bothers you. You knew that this phone is pure android, you knew that it has 2 partitions and you should have researched if there is miui rom/port available before you purchased it. Or better, you should purchased it when miui rom/port eventually will be available. And there are good phones from Xiaomi (global ones) even cheaper than this with Miui 9.
Btw, I believe someone (maybe you) will port miui after xiaomi release kernel source, but then we would be allready on Oreo.

And there are 2 ways of how you can achieve that: wait till xiaomi release kernel source and try to port miui rom, or get a global version (if you are in Europe) of some other Xiaomi device.

Although I am not sure but I think that using Qualcomm Flash Tools you should be able to install Mi 5X ROM with Mi 5X partition table and get it up and running, but if these devices aren't that similar inside then you can end up with a hard brick. After flashing using QFIL you might have to flash Mi A1 modem for A1 band support...
PS: Don't do this and backup EFS and other critical partitions if you decide to do it anyway
But if we flash (on one of the a/b partition so you can set active the other in case you have make disaster) only the system and boot partition from Mi 5x fastboot official room, it may be enough?
Of course you will have to wipe data...

The reason why I bought this phone is because I didn't want to throw 800e on Pixel, and I wanted a cheap phone with a pure android.This thing is a real successor of the Nexus line.
There are so many global versions of xiaomi devices outhere, that there is no need for this phone if all you want is a miui.But you can always try to port it. That's the beauty of development.

Frankly, I don't know what is wrong for asking. Usually so called real technical people will tell people off if you want this why don't you buy that kind of argument. I see that the one that asks this question has nothing wrong. Everyone of us having such experience when we buy something from the market, we realise that there is a gap in functionality or even down the aesthetic feels, gestures or even some of the commands arrangement that looks stupid....etc, therefore, we asked for something we felt that has done very well, and wish that it could be done in this. If we always have to put up with what is in the box, we don't give the chance for the company to improve, and you ultimately don't help to improve the products.
After reading information from different forums, sometimes I felt sorry for those people who scoffed at people. Maybe you are protecting the brands, or protecting somethings that you feel so much attached to and disregard other people.
May I suggest that if you could not offer a better solutions, or if you think that this is not worth to do it. Just keep quiet and let other people try to answer. Or if you would like to encourage it, such as this example, a simple words like "I like the idea too!" will probably help. Words such as "No way there will be MIUI on Stock Android Phone...etc." If you believe so much about no way, would you willing to bet your neck on your chopping board? With enough incentives, someone will come out with a solution.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but this is how innovation and revolution comes about.
There is nothing wrong with asking. But there is everything wrong with asking the same question every day, in every section and always starting a new topic. You got the answer already, "currently not possible, if you want MIUI, but a device with MIUI". One would expect, that guys wanting MIUI will be satisfied, but no. They'll just create a new topic and ask the same question over and over again. If someone ports MIUI to A1, I'm pretty sure that there will be a proper topic and announcment for that.
Btw. words like "I want it too" can maybe help you to find similarly frustrated people, but that's it. Xiaomi won't read it. Google will not read it. Developers don't care, if they'll do it, it won't be because you want it (donation might be motivating though). Just look at Xposed for Nougat or Oreo topics, hundreds of useless posts like "waiting for an update..".
I would understand negative reactions if this thread would request Xiaomi to replace Android Stock with MIUI on all Mi A1 models for good! But it's addressed to developers on this forum and you'll loose nothing if someone will work on it. Why would you comment against it if you don't like or need MIUI on your phone?... This is beyond my understanding, but sadly the internet is full of this kind of thinking.
Dual app is a feature you can not have it in Stock as fully operational as in MIUI. Some apps (like FB Messenger) will not get push notifications on Stock for cloned apps.
You can use Second Space with one account and you don't have a replacement for this feature for now.
Permission Management is far more complex than even any Xposed module.
China build have Automated Task which again, no module could replace it, as for example: you can schedule to disable just vibrations and nothing else on a specific time of the day.
Notifications synced online.
Calculator with any kind of functions.
Call Recording.
One Hand Mode accessed by swiping from Home button to the left or right. You don't have to loose other functions using different shortcuts. (Double tap is just not efficient).
You have Wallpaper Carousel for your Lockscreen.
You can combine multiple themes to create your best appearance. Stock will never be as beautiful as MIUI can be, but that implies you have some taste for design and art.
All of this are BUILT IN and no root needed or any additional work!
I'm sure I have missed some other details, but when you love MIUI, you just need it, without any explanations. And a lot of Xiaomi phones doesn't have band 20 (800 Mhz) within this price range and specs.
Or maybe you just like to have them both available for your phone with Stock as official. Why's that wrong? ...
Absolutely agree! And additionally, all my data syced to mi cloud, just 1 click to restore. And it is unusable on android one. I too would buy a Mi 5x with B20 or A1 with miui!
