How I Ditched MIUI & Flashed Resurrection Remix


In September 2018 my cheap redmi 4a(3, 32gb) became 1 year old, so device warranty is now void, on 3rd February 2019 i first time tried to root my device by flashing twrp recovery via fastboot & adb, After that i flashed supersu, and tried to power on, but unfortunately i forgot to flash lazyflasher , Now, I thought i may stick to miui cause why not i will have root access but then my device is stuck on mi logo(bootloop), I have already downloaded RR(Resurrection Remix) in my phone, After 15 minutes of no response from miui three dots, i powered off the device by holding power button for 15 seconds and then booted to recovery mode(by holding volume up & power button), and then I flashed RR, And after that i flashed magisk zip which i forgot to download on my phone, so what i did is downloaded the magisk in my windows machine, copied zip file to pendrive and plugged in that pendrive in my phone via usbotg adapter, mounted it using twrp copied the files to internal storage and flashed it. And now i have RR + root access. it took around 3-4 minutes in first boot. And everything is working correctly, except for these:
wireless display is showing my mitv4a
three finger screenshot works but also scrolls up at the same time
I also forgot backup my data, But luckily nothing is gone except for apps. Everything is there, including app data that is stored in .Android directory.
Pros of RR:
lightweight(more free space for apps & games)
lots of customization
No bloatware!(Only if you have gapps pico)
And No ads
Expanded mode(hides status bar)
Great Battery life(only if you turned on battery saver)
No more spying of miui
Cool Boot animation
Android 8 Oreo
.
When powered off charging animation looks bad (it's just white colored portrait battery icon)
I forgot mention that i already unlocked bootloader.
It took around 3 to 4 days.
Here are some screenshots:
