[OFFICIAL] Android 8.1 Oreo for Redmi Note 3 [Nitrogen OS]

Xiaomi may have taken Redmi Note 3 users for granted by not even providing Nougat update for it but the love for the device amongst developers is insane. And the results are here as we have Android 8.1 Oreo ROM for Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Variant.

Pre-requisites

  • Unlocked Bootloader (pretty obvious, was it even necessary to mention here? )
  • Custom Recovery Flashed.
  • Ready to rock.

How to flash?

1) Download the 8.1 Oreo ROM based on Nitrogen OS – Nitrogen-OS-O-kenzo-20171223.zip
2) Now get the arm64 GApps package for Android 8.1 here
3) Copy both files to your phone’s internal storage.
4) Boot your device into recovery mode by turning it off and pressing Volume UP + Power button together.
5) If you were using any Nougat or lower android version before, Wipe Data and Cache (Not necessary if you already using any Oreo ROM. We recommend you wiping data for a clean flash. Do take a backup of your data first. ( We are NOT responsible for any data loss.
6) Backup current ROM if you are pretty cautious.
7) Select the Android 8.1 ROM .zip file and flash it.
8) Now select the GApps package and flash it.
9) Reboot!

A big thanks to the developers for making such a stable ROM so early.

As of today, Fingerprint scanner, VoLTE, Camera everything works super fine with no noticable bugs. RAM management is excellent and much better than MIUI. Advantages of using custom ROMs like Nitrogen OS, Lineage OS or any other reputed ROMs is that you get the fastest and latest Android and security patch updates even for older devices for which OEMs have stopped providing software support.

So that’s it!
Now you can taste the latest version of Android on your Redmi Note 3 SD variant.

    Format the data

  13. sachin replying to Vivekanand Prasad

    To solve this problem, please format data under the wipe section in TWRP. I repeat format data not wipe data. This, I think, usually occurs when we flash custom os like NOS or RR after MIUI
