Still the best ROM available for our phone. The other CM ROM on this thread is broken and the MIUI is incredibly slow. Updates would be fantastic.

Hello, everyone! :D
First of all, sorry if this is completely out of topic. I'm new to the forums and still learning my ways here, and don't have enough of a post count to open a new topic (but I've tried the search button first hehe)

I've been wanting to flash a custom rom to my redmi 3 and, after reading some reviews, topics and etc., I decided for it to be either this one from Cofface, or the 13.0 pinned here on this section.

Since I'm a completely super-duper-noob on this area of modding, I thought that maybe I could be better with this version, instead of having to keep installing new ones as new betas are released to 13.0. Does this makes any sense, or I will I need to do the same with this one?

Secondly. I've tried to find or gather information to know how should I proceed in order to mod my Redmi 3, but I've failed to find a guide that can get a noob like me through all the steps since the start to the point up to when I'm ready to use my modded phone. Does anybody know of a guide of sorts? Or even scattered guidances to it that work with this version. I would be deeply grateful :)

And, lastly, I've read more than once that I have to apply for a bootloader code with Xiaomi, but failed to find where. How do I do it?


tl;dr to make it easier, maybe:

- I'm a complete noob. Should I install this version or the 13.0 beta? Why?
- How do I do it? I couldn't find a comprehensive guide.
- How do I apply for a bootloader code with Xiaomi?


Thanks in advance for any kind of help, and sorry again if this isn't the right place to do it.

Hey there mate, you can start off by going here http://en.miui.com/thread-228054-1-1.html
It will show you how to properly unlock the bootloader for your device. In the meantime if you'd like to install CyanogenMod rom even with a locked bootloader, you can, by installing SpaceX MIUI 8 Rom by ManhIT. It comes pre-loaded with TRWP recovery and from there you can flash whatever Rom that is available for your device. I'm currently using CM12.1 by nehz and I find it very stable for my Redmi 3 Pro. (CM 12.1 by nehz Link: https://mega.nz/#!WNIjFRoL!jxL1q0AODa1qxknQtrfQIG4aKbH6fqbO572vYpNIB8E )
As for CM 13 beta 2, I have also tried it and I would say that it is also well for daily use but there are minor bugs so personally I'm still waiting until they are fixed by the developer. Either way, you won't be disappointed with whichever rom you pick.

For those who have tried this ROM please tell me, what are the bugs you have experienced with this ROM ? I know I should try this ROM myself but right now I have a limited data plan and downloading this ROM will use up all my internet quota.

    This is a ROM by the person who brought TWRP to the Chinese users - Cofface. Original thread is on the Chinese MIUI Forums. http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-1-1.html

    *I am still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked but this is the ROM I'd try when it is. So far I've been reading the comments on the forum, there hasn't been reports of issues with this ROM. Please do an Antivirus scan using your preferred antivirus app upon flashing anyway. (Some Chinese CM12.1 ROMS come with bloatware and 1 was reported to have a Trojan Horse picked up by a Chinese antivirus app - which could have been a false positive anyway http://www.miui.com/thread-3980415-1-1.html)

    Known Bug: LED notification light remains on when a notification comes in. (does not flash)

    ROM日志:
    1、基于cyanogenmod 12.1 5.1.1最新源码适配编译; (Comes with Cyanogenmod 5.1.1 .. compiled from the latest source)
    2、基带、信号、蓝牙、wifi、相机均正常;(Modem, Bluetooth, Wifi, Camera working normally)
    3、CM项目该有的功能均支持;(All CM features supported)
    4、显示、双卡、通话正常;(Telephony, Dual SIM working normally)
    5、相机、传感器均测试正常;(Camera, all sensors working fine)
    6、ROM无任何推广软件;(Doesn't come with ads)
    7、更多功能自行体验;(Experience the rest of the other features yourself)
    等;(etc)

    注意事项:
    需要先解锁bl; (BEFORE Flashing - UNLOCK BOOTLOADER)
    Requires TWRP recovery. http://www.miui.com/thread-3917207-1-1.html OR TWRP by Anik_khan http://xdaforums.com/redmi-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-touch-recovery-t3340118
    刷机前记得清空数据 (Before flashing, please wipe data & cache)
    I believe GApps have to be flashed too. If I'm not wrong, flash ARM64 > 5.1 > pico. (http://opengapps.org/)
    Enable root under Developer options (I think)

    I have used this ROM for over 2 weeks and it is extremely stable for everyday use. The headphones issue takes some plugging in/out of headphones, but it works after a while. :)

    Thanks for sharing.
    I'm already testing this ROM. This rom have the same bugs as the others CM builds for example the LED notification is bugged (doesn't blink) and you can't choose what LED colour do you want for each app.
    Also it comes without Radio FM.
    Im still testing battery life.

    Im on the 4th version of CM 12.1 from miui.com.
    After the report of trojan in rom i scanned with AVG and Sophos, found nothing. 360 AV found a trojan, but not clear what exactly.
    See attachted screen shots. I will flash th cofface rom and report back.
    Thanks for uploading to Mega and Gdrive.

    EDIT :
    I dirty flashed the cofface rom over 4th version CM 12.1. No more trojan found by 360 AV.

    Battery life is worse than miui, but I think it is just a matter of time, after optimization it will be better. Way better I think.

    Also can't wait to see CM13. But this Chinese forums, are just disgusting, no clear description, no bugs/working/not working sections... Ahhh.
