So for a number of unfortunate reasons i found myself without a phone and I needed urgently a new one, so I went to a local shop and bought this Redmi A3.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a custom rom for it, do you guys know something that can help me? is there a way I can debloat and degoogle?

Thank you 🙏

    Searching through XDA gave me nothing - it seems the Redmi A3 is a pretty obscure phone in the Redmi line, which was honestly quite surprising. The Mi A3 overtaking it in the results wasn’t helping either.

    In any case I couldn’t find any ROMs. mvikrant97 says in this post that you can’t even really unlock the A3 to begin with (at least as of July 2024 but I doubt anything as changed).

    You could try using UAD to debloat a little bit, but I haven’t used it personally, so I’ll have to leave the research to you.

      Yep, and the phone is so so so bad. It can’t even open certain apps without crashing the whole thing… I’ll check the UAD, thanks.
