HARDWARE MODs
DISCLAIMER
AS ALWAYS DO ON YOUR OWN RISK. HARDWARE MOD can potentially damage or burn your device
don´t come to cry if your phone xploded,nuclear blasted or melted
Use 2 sim + 1 Micro SD card at the same time
Is not that hard and will be easy for less experienced hobbyists
So here we go : (pictures are bellow)
--Micro-SIM heated above a under cup of HOT coffee or HOT tea or HARIRA for a few seconds until the plastic was soft.
--gently bent down the soft plastic then and slide the gold-plated part(chip with contact plate). This part bend in any case! Now you have a MICRONANO-SIM (still smaller than Nano-SIM).
--Super Glue MICRONANO SIM on the SD card.the sim card will be a little over the edge of the SD card, as the drawer of the phones it has a recess. (SIM is 90 degrees rotated to the SD card inserted) Had me the exact position of the SIM previously penciled in pencil on the SD card. Recommendation: During the gluing, cover the terminals of the SD card with tape to prevent superglue boils.
--DONE
PICTURES : por it didn´t happen)

Root genius does not work at all for rooting the global stable rom
Quick query - I just got the phone, and I have the global 7.1.7.0 version. So if I want to switch to the developer ROM, I just have to download the updater file, choose the package from the updater section in settings and just flash it? No need for root or bootloader unlocking?

I can't get te screenshot because I remove it.
But it's logic, the Xposed files that you uploaded are for Redmi Note 3 Hennesy (MTK) not Kenzo (SD) because MTK uses MIUI 7 based on 5.0.1 and SD uses MIUI 7 based on android 5.1.0.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.1 and SDK22 is for Android 5.1.0 You known what I mean?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
I downloaded it from here and it works (look at "*MIUI 6/7 BASED ON Android 5.1.X only" section, 64-bit processor)
http://en.miui.com/thread-78894-1-1.html
The unlocking method with the Dev ROM doesn't work for me It still says that "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock"

thanks for the heads up i mixed the files. OP updated
Hi @Perfectdevil
Firstly, thank you very much for creating this thread for the Redmi Note 3 PRO.
Second, please check the information in your OP. The China DEV ROM 6.3.17 does indeed have ROOT - you just need to enable it from the Security/Permissions App. This will download and install an update providing native root access. It's not quite as useful as SuperSU but it does work.
Please check your instructions for loading TWRP because this method (which was originally posted by @feds64 on Mi Forums) does not result in a permanent TWRP installation. (TWRP disappears after reboot). This is all explained in thread on MI forums, and the only way to get it to work is to flash a cracked boot.img.
Without a lasting TWRP (or with stock recovery only) things like Flashify just won't work. So we can't use Flashify to flash Xposed without TWRP. And if you have TWRP, then Flashify is not necessary.
Anyway, look forward to more info here.

And TWRP is required to install SuperSU

Please guys, there would be no help given if the problem is not because of xnote.
Before asking mods related stuff please check if there is an xposed module active as almost all the time that seems to be problem.
And for people having 4g issues. This thread is for N9005 ,not for any other variants. We still try to help as much as we can. But dont move questions between threads.. if you need help. Pm users like @djbrian52 @Upstreammiami @Ark1406 as they are pretty helpful when it comes to other variants. As for other questions if not answered promptly please eat @Khizar 's brain
Patience beats all and a little knowledge about things too

Q. How to change StatusBar transparency ?
A. Goto Xnote ControlApp>>Extras>> Color StatusBar Mods ,Check the Content
Q."How do you change the DPI of the device?"
A. First Boot DPI is set to 360dpi in X-NOTE 11 , if you want to go back to stock the value is ( 480 ).Use X-Transformer to set your DPI. Follow the instructions properly.
Q."How do you remove the power button the left, and the home button on the right on status bar?"
A. Go into X-Note Control, Extra Settings, then uncheck both show/hide home button and show/hide lock button. And Restart SystemUI.
Q."There's a white line on top of my screen, and I didn't have it on stock! I'm pretty sure it's not something wrong with my screen...HELP!"
A. Go to X-Note Control App >> X-Note Panel >> Battery Bar Settings
Q."How do I get my clock back to the center, I don't like it in the right"
A. Currently you cannot move clock you need to flash the file BatteryMod disabler posted in the next post after that you can enjoy every feature you could in X10.
Q."How do I get rid of the traffic monitor under my clock? It is starting to bug me now when I'm not downloading or browsing I just see 0kb/s."
A. Go to X-Note Control App >>Extras >> Status Bar Mods >> Show/Hide Network Speed
Q."Is there root on X-Note? I don't seem to have it"
A. X-Note is already rooted .
Q."How do I get the black and white Play Store?"
A.Here
Q."How do I install TW themes with these .apk files?"
A. Just install it, then press the menu button on your home screen, click Themes, then choose the one you like.
Q."Can I overclock on X-Note Kernel?"
A. No
Q."The bootanimation is so flashy, too flashy for my eyes to bear, I'm planning to move on to another ROM if they don't change this!!!"
A. HOLD UP! You can change the boot animation easily by going into the OTA section of X-Note, download the BIOS boot animation and flash it in recovery. OR! You can flash the zip provided by myself (fahadali2315) on the 3rd post below that would get you the default X-Note 7 Boot Animation!
FIRMWARE/RECOVERY/BOOT/KERNEL RELATED
Q."Would I need the Poland firmware to install? Or can I use my locally released KK as a base for flashing X-Note?"
A. If you have KitKat already installed, you will already have the bootloader required to flash X-Note. Hence, all you need to do is get to KitKat using any method
Q."What other kernels should I try?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat Kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel are quite good. NOTE: You WILL trip your KNOX if you haven't already.
Q."What is the difference between stock kernel and stock kernel with init.d added?"
A. The init.d is a more advanced user option, where it allows the automatic execution of the scripts contained with /system/etc/init.d folder at each boot. Only select this if you plan to use scripts.
Q."What is this BTU CSC? What would happen if I live in XXXXX and my region is not specified?"
A. CSC means Customer Sales Code, and contains Carrier Settings and information. Installing a BTU CSC on an Australian device would not affect anything. It only gives you extra options.
Q."Why isn't my modem updated after installing the ROM? It's still at NA2!"
A. The ROM does not, and will never have, a modem install option. If you want to install/update a specific modem, you will have to flash it in Odin manually.
KITKAT 4.4 RELATED
Q. I cannot get into Tablet mode ?
A. It is because of the lovely updates from GOOGLE to blame
Q."Ongoing notifications are pushed down and temporary notifications are placed on top of the ongoing notifications! What's going on?"
A. This is a new Android 4.4 feature and is not yet changeable.
Q."On 4.3 when I swiped down on the notification bar, no matter where I swiped I would be able to pull it down. Now on the latest X-Note, when I swipe close to the right of the screen, the notification bar goes from transparent to dark...why is this?"
A.There is no workaround for this, as this is an official 4.4 feature so that it allows users to view the notification status bar with a solid background instead of intruding what is behind it. It is a visually pleasing feature over functionality.
Q."What is the Kit Kat Addons in Aroma?"
A. They are the CM11 apps that get installed usually when you install a CyanogenMod ROM, they include the AOSP Clock, 8sms and AOSP Calculator apps.
XPOSED/OTHER MODSQ. "When I press the volume buttons on the homescreen, I get a volume scrubber with a gear icon. When I click on the gear icon, it enlarges but there used to be more options to scrub for Media, System and Alarm. What happened?"
A. This is due to GravityBox. Make sure you select Media Tweaks -> Expandable Volume Panel -> Fully Expandable Volume Panel and if you want Expand Automatically.
Q."What's wrong with Xposed? Whenever I enable a module, nothing happens!"
A. Have you installed the latest version of Xposed and rebooted.
Q."The call recorder function only gives me a hissing noise when I playback, what's wrong?"
A. Not Supported in 4.4.2
Q: Why is YouTube force closing as soon as I click on it on my launcher?
A.The latest Youtube as of March 13th conflicts with the Xposed module YouTube AdAway, Disable it in Xposed and it will stop force closing on app start.The latest update in Xposed Installer (1.6) fixes the crash, so make sure you update it
Q. My Playstore shows incompatible phone when i try downloading some apps?
A. Download xposed module Playstore Fixes and set your phones original density(480) to sent to google. Then it will work
Q. I have weird looking bar on top of Contacts/Dialer.
A. Disable Menu Overflow from Gravitybox.
Thanks to @Khizar for this find.
OTHERS
Q. Screen Rotation is not working after deleting SamsungHub.apk?
A. Flash this file to fix it .Link Thanks to @Killberty for the link
Q."After flashing the ROM my Wifi and 4G/3G is not very good, what's wrong?"
A. It is not the ROM's fault, this is your Modem. Make sure you installed your region's modem on your phone. Don't go around asking where to get the 'latest' modem, as the latest is not the greatest in all cases. Use the modem you usually believe to be the best. 4.3 modems are not compatible with 4.4 ROMs.
Q.Is this ROM working properly on other variants?
A. It works well on N900W8 and N900T provided that you install the patches required for it to work. There is also an N900A version on the AT&T section.
Q."How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. This is generally not recommended, but if you must do it on your own JUST FLASH THE AROMA SETUP AND IT WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY .
Q."Something is wrong with my multiwindow, shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiqktHuVa6A
A. Well, you're a strange one, If you are using Swiftkey, stop using it now. If not, flash the latest ROM and see if it fixed.
Q."My battery is draining heavily! What's going on?"
A. Download BetterBatteryStats from the second post of this thread and look for what is eating your battery and greenify that damn app :BBS LINK
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Make sure you have flashed stock, kernel, modem, and everything up to date on the 4.4.2 iterations of the files. If you have anything 4.3, that is likely to cause problems. DO NOT FLASH THE N900W8 NFC/Wifi/BT FIX AS IT WILL NOT HELP. Clear your cache/dalvik cache.
KNOX
Q."I don't want to trip KNOX when installing X-Note! How should I approach this?"
A. Use this Guidebut there is no definite proof of not tripping KNOX if you know what you're doing.Be sure that you do not install any recovery from Aroma Installer, or else say goodbye to your KNOX Warranty.
IF YOU FOLLOW FLASHING ANY OTHER WAY YOU WILL DEFINATELY TRIP KNOX 0x1
TIPS- Samsung Email have big characters when writing a email in some density, recommended to install in aroma AOSP email or use Xposed
- Use Xlarge res (with xposed app settings module) for samsung Video app (com.samsung.everglades.video) at lower densities
FOR X-NOTE CANADIAN N900W8If you're on N900W8 Canadian,Follow this link to get a fully working X-Note
Link
Q: Will this new update trip my KNOX when I'm already on the 0x0 leaked Mexican Bootloader?
A: No it will not. No updates will. No kernels will. As the recovery does not write to the Bootloader, your bootloader will always be "happy".
Q. "What other kernels should I try if I'm a Canadian user?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel (Make sure you select the N900T version)
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Did you flash the NFC/Wifi/BT fix? If yes, make sure you cleared cache and dalvik, as well as Fixing Permissions in CWM/TWRP so that the permissions are cleaned next boot.
Q. "How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50477486&postcount=662

Updating Bootloader or Modem
if you are already on stock kitkat 4.4 , you dont need the bootloader . If you are on 4.3 flash the bootloader provided in OTA links same goes for MODEM.
Procedure for MODEM
1.Download the file for modem ,
2. Power off your phone completely , press home +vol down + power and go into download mode when it shows two options press volume up
3.Plug your phone into PC
4.Open Odin 3.09 and select CP or for older versions select phone
5.Choose the modem.tar.md5 file you downloaded .
6.Dont touch anything else in odin
7.Start the procedure , it will restart the phone itself . Go in about device if it still shows NA2 or older baseband do the procedure again .
it tends to work the second time.
Same Procedure for BOOTLOADER
Just change CP OR PHONE TO AP OR PDA for Bootloader in odin.

Hello. Is it possible to Centre clock on xnote 11 ? Thanks for answers

Hello. Is it possible to Centre clock on xnote 11 ? Thanks for answers
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only possible way to center the clock is using xposed modules, but it won't work if you have OGbatteryMod enabled As it interferes with other statusbar mods .
So if you are willing to disable OGBATTERY, then you can center the clock however you want.
1. how to move clock to center together with the network meter? (tried with gravity box, not moved. didn't use wanam since it will cover the network meter) edit: so which module do you use to center the clock and make battery circle with %?
2. how to disable og battery mod? (since i read, it does interfere with other xposed module...) edit: ah...you explained it again above
3. is solo reading this thread? maybe he can give some answer...
Erase your BatteryMod by flashing the erase file .
BatteryMod Erase & Restore
Use Gravity Box or wanam Xposed to do whatever you want after that
Wanam has all the features . Battery % and statusbar mods . Check them out.
This thread is a great idea... thanks.
Q. How can I restore the stock boot animation with sound?
Wow Using Wanam after ages and this is what i make of my notification bar it took me less than 5mins.

Not really. A new Samsung "feature" is to disable any new baseband updates on 4.4.2 if you don't have "official" rom/kernel status. In order to flash a new baseband you need to use TriangleAway to get official status, boot immediately to download mode and install a modem with Odin.

Installation Instructions :
- Download Odin 3.12.3 or higher

In case you are on Old version, Download N930FD_PH6_Bootloader and Modem zip, extract it and Flash BL*.tar.md5 file with Ap tab and Phone*.tar.md5 file with Phone tab of odin. This file is for N930FD and in case you have different variant, kindly update your base first with OTA/Full ROM flashing.
- Next you required id TWRP recovery. If you already have one then skip this, otherwise download twrp-3.0.2-0-gracelte.img.tar and flash using Odin. In case Odin Fail during flash, reboot to recovery - wipe cache and try again. Here is original thread for TWRP support.

I tried 3 times and all the times download stops at 180MB or 190MB and it says completed...Can somebody upload to google drive or androidfilehost?
Really want to give this a try, but not going to bother trying to download this from Baidu...
Really interested in trying this. It will be the perfect merge of stock's phenomenal stability, battery life and camera with all those "custom rom" features. But the download from baidu keeps getting interrupted.
Requesting a kind soul to brave Baidu and then upload an Android Filehost link. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

check the first post there is a zip for that....
just uninstall the chinese one and than flash the zip
Has anybody tried this on other than Chinese variant?
OP suggests that the rom is for A3010 which is model no for Chinese variant
And the Chinese settings app that has to be uninstalled, will it uninstall normal way or it is a system app and would require root
looks promising...

Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

@Aditya1011 Mate, what happened? No reply? Huh. Latest firmware. No magisk, no any kind of root. No sound mod. Still Volte not working on 2nd Sim on 3 different Kenzos.
@JustMeErazem Please include in your post that VoLTE is indeed buggy.

Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.
