Hi everybody
Yesterday my new M1S arrived finally arrived with its official chinese/english strange ROM and I proceed to try to install something cleaner, the rom instalation for 2.11.2 was ok, but I´m having problems installing the Gapps, I´ll give you a list of the steps i´ve been following until now:
(Btw, I'm have very little idea of how this works, so probably i´ve made some very stupid mistakes in the process)
1. Download latest rom update.zip and put it in the SD
2. Start in MI-Recovery 2.0.0, wipe all, install update.zip (i get the proper clean english version without Gapps)
3. Download Gapps ICS
4. When I try to flash the Gapps I realized that MI-Recovery only lets you flash update.zip
5. Get the ROM manager apk (ROM Manager v5.0.2.1), install, root access etc.
6. In the flash ClockworkMod Recovery i don´t have anything installed, I click and I get a list of phones none of them the M1S
7. I click one of the options that said and more and i get one old version (2.5.1.3), try to reboot into recovery, but instead of clockwork I go back again to MI-Recovery (where I cannot flash the Gapps)
More or less this is the process till now, I´m still don´t know what to do to flash the Gapps or to obtain a more recent version of the Clockwork Recovery (in this tutorial http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/ the phone seems to have the 5.0.2.0)
The phone is completely new and I don´t have any data in it, so I don´t mind erase everything that could be erased to make this thing work.
Other different question: Obviously I haven't been using properly the MIUI rom, but although it seems that presents a good number of quite interesting features, the distribution of apps in the main screen (iphone style) is not really my preferred choice, i see that you have a guide to go back to untouched android (http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...e-to-install-update-zip-and-brush-tool.17241/) i've been reading the guide but i cannot find the link to download the Android4.0 latest untouched ICS release from Xiaomi (wire brush). Do you have any idea on how can I obtain the untouched version of ICS?
