You have two options

Option 1 - Stick to stock ROM and follow these instructions

http://en.miui.com/thread-146299-1-1.html

Option 2 - Upgrade to MIUI 7 Developer ROM. The ROM is prerooted

http://en.miui.com/download-274.html

Does this ROM also apply to the 32gig version?

No company release OTA like Xiaomi.

I didn't notice 90% of this issues.

Still optimising and adding new features to MIUI.

Waiting. ..... ....
I received the phone from Kulimart/the guy is AUTHENTIC by the way)yesterday and have been putting it through its pace since then and my impression so far is as follows ;
PROS;
1.Form Factor :the phone looks nice physically,slim and elegant,my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 looks and feels like a Hulk besides it,the contrast of the red capacitive buttons against the black background looks exotic.
2.Screen:I especially love the screen,the FHD resolution looks sharp and crispy,contrast is great too..coming from a Galaxy Note 2 with Super AMOLED Screen,I love that it can be tweaked to look warm and vibrant like an AMOLED.
3.Battery:Am a heavy user,So far it's performing better than my Galaxy Note 2 ever did and that's good enough for me,the bundled charger is exceptionally fast too.
4.MIUI:The proprietary UI is also a breath of fresh air,it's buttery smooth and so far no hiccups detected,coming from a long line of Samsung's Touchwiz I prefers Xiaomi's simpler take on Android,even my favorite Launcher NOVA is on a cooler for now.
5. APPS:Not too much bloatware like Samsung and some of the bundled ones makes sense and are actually useful too,I especially love their ebook reader..yeah,I love me my ebooks..
CONS;
1.Poor Ram management:the MIUI seems to hog Ram,I had to free up extra Ram constantly,my main quip so far..
2.Nit picking,but the phone is a wee bit on the long side physically,compared to my Galaxy..
So far these have been my observations after a day of use,mostly PROS..am not much of a photo junkie but the camera looks decent to me too and as you can see on picture the focus is OK,I also noticed the phone doesn't seem to heat up much even while charging and using it at the same time..
Conclusion,for the money it's a great deal and no regrets on my part so far ..

Won't exceed 800MB.

Stable version will be released soon.

No problem. The only issue is that they don't make incremental updates for all the previous ROM versions. The 5.9.2 ROM should have incremental updates for the next two weeks.

You funny sha....you go buy floor mats and keyholder wey car never show grin

You can use UC browser on phone or DAP/IDM on PC.

You can alternatively download the Unofficial ROMS developed by Xiaomi EU. They offer multilanguage ROMS and absence of Chinese bloatware. RAM management is also improved.

Are the unofficial roms from Xiaomi Eu, MIUI7 roms?
