Toying with the thoughts of switching to Global developer rom. This latest update I just did made me develop slight dislike for global stable undecided


Do I need to unlock bootloader to change to global dev rom?

No...it's when you're moving back to stable rom that you unlock bootloader.

you can reflash the update to fix bugs

and the poo is getting more persistent. We need help asap! Wtf is wrong with us in this country?

Meanwhile, I doubt if it will be returned in this kind of case. It wasn't a case of unsuccessful delivery but rather unpaid "custom duty". I will advise that you follow dem drag am for a possible reduction. My thinking tho.
Very funny, so custom officials now work in NIPOST that we can now see their handwriting on NIPOST's receipt. I smell rotten fish.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gptech(m): 5:23pm On Jun 28, 2018
priceaction:

Which post office is this? The hand writing looks more of ikeja post office people. Were you shown the real custom receipt? If the one you posted is what was shown to you, then I will never accept that if it is me. That's the original nipost receipt and nothing to do with customs. Customs initially don't release such to post offices and tell them to collect money on her behalf. They will call you , themselves and invite you over. There is a foul play and I think it is particular to particular post offices. This exactly looks like the one posted last week in handwriting and pattern.
I share exactly same view with you jare.

Yes

Xclusive600 ✌�
The data are in two categories, which are:
16GB = 48GB , 3 month (N3000)

42GB = 126GB , 3 month. (N5000)

100GB = 300GB, 3 month (N9000)

Well I know you must be confuse by this are little so I will explain to you guys how the data plan works.

Let says you decided to purchased the 16GB own package. So you will be given 16GB worth of data from the first month. And it will auto renew itself without doing anything for the next two month which means.

It will be adding up the 16GB consequently for the remaining two months making it 16GB × 3= 48GB for 3 months.

Remember if it not necessarily you used up the 16GB for the following because it will add to your existing data you have left.

Let's say you have use 10GB remaining 6Gb the next month it will add automatically making it 22GB.

So that does apply for the 42GB own making it 42G × 3= 126GB consequently for 3 month.

Maximum waiting time to get yours activated is 24 hour thou it might not be up to that if you're patience enough.

If you're interested in our data plan, don't hesitate to contact me.

Has anyone here tested this to confirm its authenticity? Anyone?

I learnt that too, sir.

The other variants (3+32 and 4+64) have a global version.


Please what is the major advantage of global rom version over china rom version?
kekilika:

China ROM
1. China specific applications installed
2. Quick updates and release
3. Stable and official ROM for all Redmi device
4. Lacking Google tools

Global ROM
1. Pre-installed Google tools
2. No China related applications installed e.g typical example, change region to India, immediately some apps will appear. From this, you will know what I mean
3. All languages available
4. Stable and international ROM for Xiaomi. Updates only come to Global ROM after China ROM has been updated

Based on my research. Asides these two, we have additional two.

Modified: Just added these pictures
kekilika:
More research
https://www.doncaprio.com/xiaomi-global-rom-vs-china-rom-why-im-using-the-china-rom/

Cons of China ROM
1. No bloatware on the global ROM. Any app you can't use is a bloatware. Most comes with annoying notification badges that pops up now and then. Some can't be uninstalled, some when uninstalled can cause the ROM to be unstable or reduces performance of the phone.

2. The translation isn't always complete on the China ROM, even when you choose English language as default, some part of the UI might still display in Chinese.

3. Google apps are not pre-installed on the ROM, no Gmail, Google Voice assistant, Google maps, etc. But then, you can still install them.

4. You can't be sure you are not being watched with China ROM. Asked the Americans.

Also take note, China ROM + Chinese IP address = free music streaming. How true is this? grin cool
Asides all that have been mentioned, the only real difference between Global version and Chinese version of Redmi note 5 is LTE band 20, which the global version has but the Chinese version doesn't.
Now, once the bootloader of note 5 has been unlocked, you can flash global rom on the Chinese variant. So, once again, the only true difference is LTE band 20.

VARIANTS

The Lenovo Z5 is available in two variants: 6gb ram with 64gb memory, and 6gb ram with 128gb memory.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro is available in three variants: 3gb ram with 32gb memory, 4gb ram with 64gb memory and 6gb ram with 64gb memory.

To perfectly compare both, you'll need to look at their 6gb ram with 64gb memory variants.

PRICE

The 3gb ram variant of the Note 5 is
cheaper than the z5 but the 6gb ram variant is more expensive or around the same price as the z5. I think it's more expensive though.

CAMERA

The note 5 has 12+5 mp rear cameras while the z5 has 16+8 mp rear cameras. The z5 has better picture quality and takes better pictures in low light conditions than the note 5.

The note 5 has a 13 mp (not 20 mp as is often said) front camera while the z5 has a 8 mp front camera. I read somewhere that the z5 does not have front flash. I don't need it anyway so I don't mind

The z5 has Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its front and rear cameras while the note 5 only has AI in its rear camera.

FEEL

The z5 has a more premium feel. It has a notch and is covered in gorilla glass 3 in its front and back.

The note 5 looks like your regular Android phone. While it has small bezels, it's not as small as the z5.

The note 5 only has gorilla glass in its front but not its rear. The gorilla glass model is unnamed and there are speculations that it's not even gorilla glass.

COLOURS

The z5 is available in three colors: one is black and the other two are shades of blue. The blue colors are very dope and cost about $10 more than the black.

The note 5 is only available in the regular black, blue and gold colors.

USB

Z5 has USB 3.0 while note 5 has USB 2.0.

FAST CHARGING

Both support fast charging but only the z5 comes with a fast charger. You'll need to buy a Qualcomm certified fast charger for the note 5.

RELEASE

The z5 is newer than the note 5. It was released earlier this month while the note 5 was released in February. The note 6 will even be released anytime soon -- probably around September. This means the note 5 is about to become "outdated".

BATTERY

The note 5 is the winner here. It has a bigger 4000 mAh battery compared to the z5's 3300 mAh battery.

SIMILARITIES

SCREEN

The z5 has a 6.2" screen while the note 5 has a 5.99" screen. Both are curved around the edges though the note 5 seems to have a steeper curve.

The z5 has a higher screen resolution than the note 5. But that doesn't make much difference since the z5's larger screen made it end up with a pixel per inch (PPI) of 403, just like the note 5.

OTHER SIMILARITIES

Both support dual SIM and memory cards but you'll need to sacrifice the second sim slot to use a memory card.

They both have the earphone jacks but none comes with an earphone. They also have the same processors and come with free pouches.

They also have their own user interfaces, ZUI for the z5 and MIUI for note 5. I don't know which is better but I don't mind. They're both Android anyway.





All these may be true, but there is what is called community or unofficial support, and I can assure you that note 5 will enjoy it far more than Lenovo Z5. And that is what extends the lifespan of a phone.

The Xiaomi redmi note 3(Kate/Kenzo) have been around for 3 years, yet it enjoys amazing community support. Go on XDA, and you'll understand what I mean.
