Before flashing Cyanogenmod I really need to install ClockWorkMod? Because when I press power + volume some kind of pre-installed CWM appears and do have all the function I need (wipe/factory reset, select update from sd card etc) Can't I Install Cyanogenmod from there?
Sorry if I have bad english :angel:
Yes, you do need to install CWM. Also meaning of pre-installed CWM, it is Samsung Stock Recovery. It is very easy method to get CWM on your note.

Thanks for answering! I got it, but I have another doubt, If I install Cyanogenmod in my device, I will have lower graphics in-game? Something like no developer optimisation for my ROM (no antialiasing, poor texture quality etc)? Or This depends of the device not the ROM?
flashing CWM also is very important because it has Backup and restore options which are not included in stock recovery
1st thing I do for years is taking nand backup to restore in case on any failure (which happens alot with trying roms and mods)

I got it!

There is some way for I get custom Android themes and apps with samsung's ROM? Like update the apps to custom android apps? Can I substitute the notification bar too?

Get Apex launcher or one of the other launchers available. Easy to theme and remains stock.
I don't believe you should have problems in games as the cm10 team use the aosp or aokp rom. Straight from google like on the nexus series. They then tweak and theme as they please...

Ok, I I'm going to install Cyanogenmod, but I have Windows 8 so I need to disable driver signature enforcement, I've already did it, long time ago, to Install jelly bean on my Xperia Mini Pro, I need to do It again every time I'm going to install any custom ROM or it's a lifelong kind of thing?

Every time I flash a custom rom I simply download the zip file and copy to the sd card. Flash using CWM...
Never disabled anything on my PC and it always works. I too have win 8...

So how did you flashed CWM? Cyanogenmod official wiki tells me this:
"NOTE: On Windows 8 you must disable driver signature enforcement in order to use zadig"

You're using Heimdall, not ODIN.. ODIN easier to use though Heimdall good too.
If you are rootedalready you can also use Mobile ODIN, pro version to be safe.... Easiest way I know how...

Im going tp use Cyanogenmod's official way of install, because I don't need to root first, thanks for helping me! I owe you one!

For sure Odin method is better! But I need to root my device first? Or not?
I'm goig to do this procedure:

Yep, that should be ok... Root and CWM first then CM10...
Just a suggestion, in ODIN untick "reboot". This way you can go to recovery before it reboots and changes back to stock recovery... It does this so you do need to boot to recovery afterwards manually. volume up + power until logo appears then release power button... Then you can flash CM10 but make sure to follow all the steps...
Oh yeah, in ODIN, DON'T TICK REPARTITION... You will end up with a big problem if you do...

Sounds like the Chinese variant as these are chinese apps. Where did you order your OPO from? The only way to get rid will be to unlock the bootloader and root or flash CM11S/custom ROM. Is it currently running Cyanogen?

Strange, they look more like bloat apps than anything malicious but if it was me I would be the same and want rid of them. I would guess this was sourced from one of the Chinese websites/resellers, they advertise the phone as having CM but wouldnt be surprising if they had added some apps in there too. If you're unlocking the bootloader the phone will be automatically wiped anyway and you can clean flash 44S via fastboot or one of the pre-rooted zips from the development section.

It pretty much is unless you maybe use ADB, but you might as well start with a nice fresh install of the latest update, if that gives you the added peace of mind as well.
You can refer to @timmaaa's fastboot flashing guide (number 8) or if you unlock your boot loader and install a custom recovery you can flash a stock zip

It is not stock. Unlocked bootloader is fine, everything else is a no-go. The different kernel is the glaring problem, you can not apply an OTA with that non-stock kernel. The first, most complete, easiest option is to flash the latest factory image. Seeing as this is a new phone to you, I can't imagine that you have a ton of personal info to save. For me personally, I'd flash the image just so I know that I'm starting with a fresh clean slate. Then you can read up and root/mod how you'd prefer.

Not enough information from this to say. The custom kernel you installed is enough to prevent OTA updating.

It would be easy to say if the build didn't match a legit N5 image. If the build info in build.prop isn't informative, look for apps/features that shouldn't be in a stock image, eg. AOSP apps replacing the Google versions. Unfortunately, you do have to have some familiarity with stock Google to be able to spot something that's out of place.

Hi Sorry for the noobie questions, but I'm about to get my mi mix 3 and this is the first time doing a lot of this stuff so I had a couple of questions. I read a few things on the forum and I see different answers to things so I'm hoping to get some things straightened out, if you could even link an article/post for me to read that'd great too.
So I read that unlocking the bootloader erases all data, which is fine cause I plan to do this first. After unlocking the bootloader and when the Global rom become available, will flashing the rom erase all the data as well?
Is there any risks to having the bootloader unlocked? If so could I lock the bootloader up once I've flashed it with the Global rom?
Thanks!

If you are on Chinese Rom and want to flash global Rom it will wipe the data.
If your phone comes with Chinese Rom you can't lock bootloader on global Rom
Never had any issues before as long as the Rom has safety net passing. If it doesn't pass you can't use banking apps.
If you lose phone and if someone sees phone is unlocked they can wipe it using fastboot etc

Oh okay so flashing a new Rom would also delete everything. I read that Chinese Roms dont have google frame work and thats why we flash the Global rom, but I've seen people say mix 3 has google frame work so is there really a need to flash to a Global rom when its available?

You can get by on the Chinese Rom with no problems.
Only downside for me is some apps have Chinese writing in them but so far that's limited to apps like music/themes/browser/Mi AI, basically anything that requires an Internet connection
The app "Google installer v3" will install Google framework and apps for you. Just remember to go into the app permissions for the contacts app and make sure they are all given otherwise it won't sync.

Be nice to see a non-Chinese version of TWRP too.... that would give me a little more confidence the phone might be worth keeping.

That's my point, it's not a variant, it's a different chipset, which means different drivers, essentially a completely different device in terms of software support.

And the mix 3 standard edition will still be sold, and will still he supported.
What's the point in buying any phone when you know 6 months down the line it's going to be replaced.
EU rom is now out so weekly updates
Is there any guide on how I can complete return phone to stock and lock bootloader?
Thank you.
In a nutshell: install stock ROM with MiFlash, while checking the appropriate option in its UI.

So just flash stock ROM and everything will pretty much reset?
That's a great guide you made there but why does stock ROM takes 3 days to download and then cancels?
Xiaomi servers can't handle it or something?

1. You have to ensure the option to re-lock is checked, too (people say it is, by default).
2. Ever heard of the Great Firewall of China? Aparently, one of its side-effects is ultra-slow downloads for everyone else. Find an alternative source (at least one listed in the Index, too).
