side question can I change/remove those icons on the bottom, like Wallpaper Carousel?
Change? No. Remove, well, besides the flashlight shortcut, any other shortcut there is only visible if the relevant app is installed.
For next release, I'll make sure it's not visible if the relevant app is disabled, so then you'll be able to hide it by disabling "Mi Wallpaper Carousel" app altogether in Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps.
App Vault: No updates to uninstall, this is the stock app as found in MIUI Stable. Also how to revoke permissions for this app (withdraw consent), clearing data does not work.
What you see is an image, not the actual app vault. You probably declined the initial terms of use screen, so it's stuck on that image or something.
You shouldn't decline, nor you can't revoke anything for this app, it's a China ROM app.
You can install the Global App vault from Play Store if you want, it'll substitute the China ROM one...
If you keep declining and revoking permissions for system apps, you'll face issues. Might want to consider a non-MIUI ROM if you're so touchy about those permission requests.
*Talking about withdraw of consent, in some apps I didn't consent and the apps work fine (mostly lacking online functions). But now everytime I open those apps it gives the same consent pop-ups I already declined (for instance the Mi Video app).
Can't help you with that. Mi Video has online functions as of our latest releases so consent is required. Otherwise, don't use the app.
I find this annoying and pushy, not something I would expect in a MIUI EU rom.
You get what you pay for, and you pay nothing, so you'll have to live with that. I don't find this a problem as I never decline these dialogs.
- Can I see the time someone called?, or atleast how many minutes/hours ago?
Sure, click the arrow button next to the call. You'll see everything under "Call history" header.
Q: Is there a volume buttons to wake function hidden somewhere?
Not that I know of...
