    Tutorial How to Upgrade MIUI on an Encrypted Phone

    This guide is pretty old by now. Perhaps they have changed the update script. Thanks for the heads up! The script used to just unzip itself over the file system. Maybe now it does a legit format command. Been a while since I've looked at it as I now just use TWRP. Sent from my Nexus4 using...

    Tutorial How to Upgrade MIUI on an Encrypted Phone

    The tutorial is still relevant in cases where you have CWM and an encrypted /data/ partition. If you don't have enough space on /system/ you're only viable option is to use TWRP.

    3.6.14

    MIUI v5 Preview

    MIUI v5 Preview

    I really hope the Nexus 4 gets the MIUI camera. My last GNex didn't get it. I suppose I have the photosphere to lose now though.

    Miui for Nexus 4

    Not necessarily. I made the same purchase decision, because I knew MIUI would have official support for this phone. It's massively popular, first class AOSP support, and great international support (like global frequency radios). I even ditched my CDMA provider because I knew GSM phones had...
