lmaoo all these una typical Nigerian trader attitude when asked details about whatever they are selling, all that matter is just to sell your shit, finally una know the kind of customers una dey find sha |
My redmi 5 plus came with rom that i was suspecting, I unlocked bootloader and fastboot flash official rom to avoid later stories that touch and its been fine as per performance, if performance is degrading then updating n factory resetting is not a bad idea in my own opinion henry007: |
I did not know I was creating any kind of impression by being honest, heck I still adjusted my stand to make it very obvious that what i said was my opinion after being told to make it very obvious and people buying Xiaomi phones are not under 18, as said i before not everyone including newbies will like MIUI or custom rom but this attack style of response to any criticism to MIUI is definitely what will scare newbies away Gptech: |
Ram management has been fine so far for me on my redmi 5 plus, is your rom up to date? henry007: |
lmaoo you wanted to ignore my further clarification on why i said what i said, I don't like being misquoted , sue me if you want as I don't want to rest because of that fibonacci2526: |
that Google play app green popup in iOS looking MIUI app is annoying to me sha henry007: |
Protein0: |
Oga pay attention to what i said and stop arguing with what you want to understand about what I said, I NEVER said MIUI is full of bugs o, just the difference in its UI compared to Google Play apps is too wide, heck someone even said told me here that miui rom battery performance is still way better than any custom rom n I agree, all this ranting is absolutely unnecessary Gptech: |
Hian I didnt say MIUI is all trash na, just the user experience is not as cohesive as it should be in my opinion n I was responding to an insinuation that you have cleared up, even if I am new is this how you welcome new converts? na wa o, after una go say nothing like cabal here Protein0: |
mhmmmm be like say i go park this custom rom waka if the battery no make sense as i dey expect, oyinbo way dey use custom rom with 24hrs light, us na NEPA we get. I can not come and kee myself lavenderjade: |
this your question is sounding like what is inside outside I no understand abeg ![]() Protein0: |
na wa oooooo you wan make me fear for custom rom, get behind me satan but I get hope sha say MIUI go make more sense as dem don join 1st tier android manufacturers and developers level like Samsung, Nokia, etc. Na only Xiaomi and Huawei be the only chinese 1st tier android manufacturers now o, nothing for infinix abi tecno make we dey looklavenderjade: |
Well considering Google owns and designs the android OS to be open, playing with your device is a major perk of the android platform. its this iOS just-use-it-like-that attitude of some of una 'android users' I no understand, if e pain you say i buy xiaomi you fit end the pain by buying Pixel 2 XL for me, I no go reject I swear, I just said I dont like how MIUI is currently, how you interpret it is ya business ...incase some of you dont know even Samsung is low key developing their own OS ![]() lavenderjade: |
or you people dont want other users to know about options like custom rom for some reason i am yet to understand ![]() Protein0: |
D I dont need, why will I need luck with something as simple as a custom rom ? my point is the front design of redmi 5 plus/redmi 5/note 5 pro is quite similar to G6 henry007: |
Hian new users are not impressionable teenagers or kids unless I am wrong, you people that like to insist different taste is okay need to actually practice what you preach, not everyone will like MIUI or AOSP but everyone needs to know about how far they can play with their device Gptech: |
Oooooo sorry for disturbing the cabal n for letting people that may not know about Xiaomi custom rom opportunities in case they don't like MIUI ![]() Gptech: |
bros abeg recommend a stable AOSP custom rom for redmi 5 plus with everything working BrightDeGea: |
imagine eating okoro soup with rice, that is how to describe MIUI with Google Play Apps ![]() yahmaid04: |
Guy, I cant wait...official Lineage OS never drop for redmi 5 plus, i dey use style wait for that one but if MIUI annoy me enough I fit knack the unofficial one like that abeg ![]() OlaBa: |
the lineage OS available is stable but still unofficial, to flash custom rom requires an extra step, you need to register your device with Google using the device android frameworks id, I unlocked bootloader to get rid of shop rom by fastboot flashing official global rom, i still dey reason the matter...i fit jump ship anyways when i figure out some of the details to do it end to end and how to go back to miui if i need to gidieberry: |
wow i had actually thought the 'love' for MIUI was born out of the fear of switching to custom roms, MIUI as it is too gutted in my opinion, heck even infinix XOS is slightly better but their settings UI is hideously fugly I dont know why Xiaomi dont just copy what the guys behind oneplus OS are doing, at least for their international customers ![]() bily: |
After about a month plus with my redmi 5 plus i can authoritatively say MIUI sucks!!!!!!!, the jarring difference between the user experience in its own apps like messaging and main settings versus what you get in Google Play is too much abeg and lockscreen notifications and how the lockscreen is still a disaster , Ayam just waiting for Lineage OS for redmi 5 plus to drop then its a 1 way ticket out of MIUI and yes Xiaomi build quality is superb, cant count how many times people mistook my redmi 5 plus for S8 or LG G6 ![]() |
daamazing: there dey, ayam a card carrying member of Nigerian Lazy Youth Association ![]() |
henry007:the samsung A8 is slightly ahead of the redmi 5 plus according to benchmarks but it doesn't justify the price gap between them |
daamazing: no mind me, na Buhari cuz am ![]() |
daamazing:the closest thing to redmi 5 plus from Samsung is their A8 2018 version that is nearly double the price of what Xiaomi is asking for the redmi 5 plus, there is no basis for comparison at all, Xiaomi wipes the floor with Samsung in the spec or performance per price department *mic drop* ![]() |
fibonacci2526:but it was explicit, like the unlock tool will tell you 360hrs to unlock, my own was blind trial n error till e just click, MIUI people are one kind sha ![]() |
noobody:I think the key is the long wait, it like even if MI people say you can unlock it doesnt mean immediately i think, na to dey just to check your Mi account till its showing 0 connected devices then facory reset or just wait 2 weeks, unlock and flash global rom chikina ![]() |
GrandMufti:Omo I never hespected it ![]() |
fibonacci2526: ;DNothing like developer option abi na bind MI account to device, I got unlock permission around 2 weeks ago then today I tried to find my Device on mi website but it was not going and my mi account was showing 0 connected device even though my MI account was signed on redmi 5 plus with sync and find my device on, I factory reset my phone and still no sync or find my device, then I just tried to unlock and it just unlock just like that, o boy i shock |
.. Bleep custom roms.. Miui de learn fr bugs fr wr all ds crazy aosp based CR de..
