Full ROM works fine, too!The QCS99-OTA package should update to same version as the QCS99-full package type-R posted. Tried only OTA which works fine.
You need file explorer with root access like root explorer. Then mount /system /app folder as r/w and copy the downloaded play store app there and set the permissions like other apps there. And then restart.
Good luck

Noob question:
If the stock version is not rooted and playstore is not working until you follow the above process, how can u install an app with root access in the phone to move the playstore app in the system/app folder?
Stock is already pre-rooted. Just install SuperSU to control root permissions and side load any root enabled file explorer apk.
Seems to work - tested only for a few minutes now but here's the modified SystemUI.apk to hide the carrier string. Please use at your own risk.
Used latest apktool, changed/added layout_width/height to 0.0dip and android:maxLength="0" to com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel in res/layout/status_bar.xml - maybe setting only maxlength would have been enough but it seems to work here.
Then replaced /res folder and resources.asc in original SystemUI.apk with the newly generated ones, moved it to /system/app, rebooted - done.

Hi everybody !
I'm glad xiaomi built a stock android ROM for the m2, at least one manufacturer that leave us some choice !
I installed the QCS99 built by the recovery (by renaming it update.zip, wiping data etc.). This works brillantly from the first boot.
Then I tried installed gapps latest package from http://goo.im/gapps/ (gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip), renamed it to update.zip and flash it through the recovery with a successful message.
But when restarting the phone, during boot, I don't have the usual "Updating android application / Optimizing 1 of 80 apps" screen...and as expected, the google apps aren't available.
I can always download Google Play Store from Miui Market, but this way I can't have Google Talk application, so it's not a solution for me.
Can you suggest me a solution ?
PS: And by the way, thanks for the numerous informations and resources already found on the site
Hi,
I was using the old Stock QCR89 and the battery was very well almost 2day and 6hours
After i had upgraded to QCS99 and the battery was well almost 2day
And now i'm on MIUI 3.2.8 in normal mode my phone power off after 1day and 12hours
Now i put it in eco mode and waiting...
I'm not a huge user some SMS, sometimes FB, and 2-3 calls... WiFi always ON, 3 mail account...
I love the UI,
But the battery for me it's not really good so for the moment i will stay with MIUI to finish battery test. But unfortunately i think i'm going back to the Stock ROM.
For me QCS89
Sorry for my english... i'm French...
Yes I flash it using recovery,
And i don't have any issues with the TouchScreen! Yes for me it's more fluid.
