• Go to Settings - About phone - Cyanogenmod Updates
• Tap on the zip you just copied to your Internal Storage and click update.

FAQ

• ROOT! ROOT! Give me root or i'll die!!! Where root is???
• First of all do not flash any supersu/superuser/superman zip package to get root. Go to Settings>Developement Settings>Root acces > Apps Only
• Are these gapps <insert random gapps package here> working with cm12.1?
• Use the suggested package
• When do I have to wipe data?
• You must wipe data only when you're switching from another rom or migrating to Snapshot branch from Nightly and vice versa. You don't need to wipe data when you update in the same release channel.
• Why no <insert miui feature here>?
• Because this is CyanogenMod

Could you include the "Screenshot" shortcut on the notification Drawer? It is difficult to press the power and it minimizes some app if you press them which makes it useless to screenshot because it minimizes.

 

[thehobit]

Thanks. Does the fingerprint sensor works?

Thanks. Does the fingerprint sensor works?

Probably not since Android 5.1 doesn't have native support for the hardware and Xiaomi isn't likely going to release the drivers. (I think).

 

[jeromeof]

Looks great guys. Quick question i presume this is for the Mediatek and not the Snapdragon variant of the Note 3, i.e. its not for the Note 3 Pro.

 

[donm4x]

Let us know when you release your rom for flashtool and locked bootloader.

 

[lokjianming]

I have a build compiled now and I hope you guys who have the Mediatek variant of the Redmi Note 3 can test it for me, but do mind this is only for those who have unlocked the bootloader (for now), and here's the link to it: https://build.redminote2.gq/job/HEN...fact/cm-12.1-20160227-UNOFFICIAL-hennessy.zip

Problem solved

I am afraid to say this but for me is a must seeing that @lokjianming has not make the proper statement in the first post. The fix for baseband was provided by a user named pocarropa from a spanish forum where I also have an account. It is great to see colaboration between developers but it is also great to mention each other when someone helps the other one.

I must also say that I dont really know if @lokjianming was going to mention him in the near future.

Keep up the good work sir @lokjianming

At first when I created this post I always wanted to mention pocaropa but I forgot to add him because I thought I have already added him, and of course I have added him immediately now. And sorry to @pocaropa for the inconvenience caused, I'm deeply regret about this.

Great work)
Tell please, you will update this thread? @pocaropa, also thanks for the baseband fix.

@lokjianming do you think is it possible to have the double tap to wake up the screen? I think to many people love that feature ?
