    [ROM] Marvin [English\Multilanguage] Xiaomi MI2/S [8.11]

    Currently using 3.7.12 with no real problems other than a slow load on some apps and the keyboard can be a little laggy. Would you guys recommend a switch? I take it the ROM is rooted? I do currently have V4A FX aswell, will the stock settings of this ROM benefit my audio experience with the...

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Oh, apologies. I did but I seem to find a lot of information for Android but not specific to MIUI and because I'm very new to this (recent convert from apple) then I'm nervous about just doing something before seeking the advice of the pros. I think the reason it is hard for me to put the...

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Great advice, successfully removed unwanted apps. Thanks. I got titanium backup, how do I use this to flash apks onto my phone? I have been trying to copy the apk and paste it to root to no avail. Again, thanks in advance.

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Sure, so how do I root the phone? I have flashed a developer app, and I have found the permissions manager but I'm not sure exactly what to do from there or if there are other things I need to do? When in the permissions manager there is a ROOT manage ROOT permissions and then into there I get...

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Because there are apps on other ROMs that I want to flash and there are some apps that need the phone to be rooted to flash. Plus there are some Chinese system apps that are utterly useless to me and I want to get rid of them to clear up space.

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Sorry, I know amateurs like me are annoying. All I want to do is be able to flash apps onto my phone and delete stock apps that cannot be deleted through the normal means. I have read several times that the developer ROMS are already rooted and so I have flashed 3.6.21 successfully but I...

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Ok so I go to permissions Icon and then into ROOT - manage ROOT permission and enable permission monitor? And now the phone is rooted?

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Oh ok, How do I do it in the settings? And then I should be able to simply move apks from my pc to the phone?

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Forgive my poor understanding but I have another question? So I looked for a guide to rooting the MI2s now that I have a developer ROM but there is nothing anywhere. I downloaded the Chinese ROM so as to steal the weather apk from it but I cannot move it across to the phone. Am I doing it...

    MIUI Stock Weather app

    Hey guys, I just flashed the latest 3.6.21 ROM from your site and it is great. The downside is that I lost the stock weather app that came with the phone and it was fantastic. The phone is a MI2s that I bought here in China and I was running MIUI-JLB 16.0 with the app preloaded. Is there...

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    Thanks L.Simon. Just to be sure, what is the best way to get CWM RECOVERY on my MI2s? There seems to be a version of it on the Play Store but googling it reveals that I have to upload it like a ROM?

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    I am now interested in flashing the ROM to the 3.6.14 version. Just a few quick questions before going ahead. Will I get a different effect depending on whether I flash the ROM to partition 1 or 2? How do I restore to stable JLB 16.0 if I don't like the developer ROM and will the developer...

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    Just to update I have bought a real MI2 s and I am currently getting her set up. This phone feels completely different and the ROM is clearly different to the one I was lead to believe was a real one. Just as a thought I didn't find a phone retailer who would let me play with a display phone...

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to get on the case with getting a refund straight away and get a real one. The fake one was pretty good so the real one must be great! On the 'about phone' the spec is all correct etc though so it must be a bloody good fake.

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    Ah I didn't realise. This is getting very peculiar. I have tried the official ROM from the MIUI site and it aborted the install again. I currently have MIUI-JLB 13.0 and it does not have the updater app. Therefore I am trying the miflash way and also considering trying to update the stable...

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    Just to update I installed the google app installer and successfully installed google maps and google chrome which is good. However, when the Play Store was installed the same happened upon opening the app; I get this message, "unfortunately play store has stopped working". It seems the...

    A simple update guide for xiaomi M2

    Thanks for the help hadron. The ROM was from this website so that shouldn't be the problem. Maybe I need to wipe cache or partition or something like that? Again, apologies, complete amateur here. I'll give this google apps installer a whirl. I've managed to get the play store on the phone...
