Or do I need to install another rom?

nah, it's the ROM that sucks dick, you need to flash something else

Back in my Redmi 3

Fuuuuuck

I couldn't switch SMS apps because the chink one would always rob the notifications

I had issues with notifications because of their customized doze that would kill google play services even though I kept telling it not to

It changed.... R-right

because of course, MIUI gives no special privileges to google shit since it's a chink rom

Also is it easy to flash?

Yeah, but there's a waiting time to unlock the bootloader

Is there support for the note 5?

pretty sure there's lineage for it

Great

@Deleted User MIUI isn't shit

also ads

lel what ads

@Deleted User stock MIUI Global is fine

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, best thing to do is to give it a shot

And you'll always have the option to switch anyway

it's already stripped from the bloat the chinese MIUI had

I see

@Raikon Wait how will it be a step up from my Sony Xperia XZ?

@Ryptun there's such a thing as too good to be true

unless you want to fry your phone

It's a step up in battery, step down in performance

Sony has a pretty stockish ROM, so if you end up in Lineage, you'll be fine

But yeah, give MIUI a shot

You'll need to wait for the bootloader unlock anyway

@Deleted User better battery, better performance too

bigger screen

How is he getting better performance going from a 820 to a 625

4 x 2.15GHz
vs
8 x 1.8GHz(Qualcomm Snapdragon 636)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Redmi Note 5 doesn't have a 625

Damn

More RAM too, right?

I went from 820 to 636

820 is better definitely but 636 is fine

Is it fast enough for clover and such?

miui is shit
