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:
It was fine at first then it got bad and then worse. Didn't update it.

It's weird coz that was supposed to be one of the worst things about MIUI that i didn't experience. Until i did.

TechUtopia said Redmi 5 plus too had this issue as at February. Maybe an update fixed it.

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:
Go and read your initial posts again, and place yourself in the shoes of a prospective user of Xaiomi phones. What point are you guys really trying to make? That people live in caves and don't know what custom roms are? Have you noticed am not even arguing with you about which rom is better? If you want to pass your message pass it well without causing confusion especially to newbies. With what you have been saying expect a new wave of questions here like 'Is Miui that bad that it cannot be managed? Was thinking of getting a Xaiomi device but I don't know if am making a mistake, is miui as good as my XOS? Please I need answers fast'. We have seen the result of things like this before, that's what am pointing at, the wrong impression you'll end up creating.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 5:41pm On May 18, 2018
Ram management has been fine so far for me on my redmi 5 plus, is your rom up to date?
henry007:
MIUI is annoying because the RAM management on RN 4X is iffy. If yours has no bugs, it's a decent UI.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 5:38pm On May 18, 2018
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:
Oga give it a rest, you explicitly said MIUI sucks which is a generalisation afaik. You could come out to say you don't like it which is cool but all you did was insinuated that there is literally nothing good about the skin.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 5:30pm On May 18, 2018
that Google play app green popup in iOS looking MIUI app is annoying to me sha

tor! I give up.

just hear ursef chief. You actually thought some "people" can be hiding custom roms from others. For what pls? Do you suspect any likely reason? (if u still don't understand, then I'm not sure I can help simplify it further. There are freelancers who can do that for you for a token tho, check fiverr)
Seems you're new here, custom roms have always been discussed here as far back as u can imagine. I can't remember anyone campaign against it.
I've techie clients who will always be among the first to use any xiaomi flagship but never stayed on miui for a day. It's is choice.

And that's what we are saying. Don't label a choice as bad because it's different from yours.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 5:14pm On May 18, 2018
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:
Huh? Practice what exactly? It's a known fact that skins= bloat on Android, that's why custom roms aim to get the best of both worlds. So which device should someone buy that comes with custom roms? You don't need to sound this way for people to know how far they can play with their device ; insinuating Miui itself is a heap of bugs. Never forget that the audience here is mixed multitude, how do you think the message you guys have been trying to pass sounds like? Of course since Miui is bad, why should I get a Xaiomi phone? Remember this thread is almost at the 3000 page mark for a reason, definitely not because of the custom rom you preach but mostly because of the miui you diss.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 5:08pm On May 18, 2018
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

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 OSgrin
lavenderjade:
What annoy me more they claim aosp is best rom.. Why dem nor buy google pixel fone de use or motorola devices. But u bought xiaomi to save ur ass.. Even after d custom rom flash flash dey will still come back d miui thats d funny tin grin cheesy
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 2:27pm On May 18, 2018
grin or you people dont want other users to know about options like custom rom for some reason i am yet to understand grin
Protein0:
na thier way na. I don't know if they don't wonder why there are options, many of them sef. It's simple, varying choices. U might prefer fried plantain, kstan, boiled one, fibonacci2526 might prefer hers roasted(with groundnut cheesy) while I may choose to eat mine raw, abeg no b same plantain we dey chop? I seriously don't know why some ppl will think others should have same choice with them.
undecided

It's very simple, if you don't like miui (which doesn't mean it's bad. Afterall it's the extreme minority that do not even like it. Still they were not criticized for not liking it. There are always options) port to another one.

Na war for some people o.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 2:22pm On May 18, 2018
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:
Good luck with Lineage OS.

Anyone who even knows that the G6 exists won't mistake any phone for it. Something that has an unfinished looking design with even worse colors.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 2:18pm On May 18, 2018
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:
This has nothing to do with 'cabalism', you guys are simply passing a wrong message to new users in an attempt to pass your own message.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 10:31am On May 18, 2018
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 grin grin

D thing just tire person sef, dem nr go enjoy their custom roms in peace grin.

bros abeg recommend a stable AOSP custom rom for redmi 5 plus with everything working
BrightDeGea:
lol you're trying sha but you still dey learn...i have flashed close to 10 custom roms on my redmi 5 plus infact i know the people that build the roms and i am one of the rom testers, we have treble roms and non treble roms... Have flashed los, dot os, mokee rom, bootleggers, carbon, pornaosp, miui eu (weekly), resurrection remix, aex, Aokp, Aosp, PornAosp, slim rom etc.. Am currently on miui eu after coming from bootlegger smiley

Note: the roms i just listed are oreo roms .

why is MIUI so bad? Can u please highlight some reasons for us
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 9:42am On May 18, 2018
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 grin grin
OlaBa:
Lol...The thing sucks no be small... I mean why the hell do you want to be like IOS? The first week I endure MIUI on max 2 before unlocking my bootloader was...

I'm now on Lineage OS now and enjoying my phone. If there was/is no way to port custom roms, I would have sold the phone since.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 9:23am On May 18, 2018
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:
u appear like sum1 that is conversant wif happenings in d custom rom world bt u fall ma hand small sa... Lineage OS is available for R5plus na both oreo n nougat... I think the most stable rom for now is dotos oreo...
Bros head over to xda dev joor... U don unlock bootloader n flash twrp alwedi se?

grin grin grin 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 grin grin I dont know why Xiaomi dont just copy what the guys behind oneplus OS are doing, at least for their international customers huh

PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by frankekeh: 3:33pm On May 17, 2018
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 grin grin and yes Xiaomi build quality is superb, cant count how many times people mistook my redmi 5 plus for S8 or LG G6 grin grin

Maybe check with Antutu for likely performance scores since no one here has used every samsung phone including A8 2018 and Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus
the samsung A8 is slightly ahead of the redmi 5 plus according to benchmarks but it doesn't justify the price gap between them

Ham i wrong
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* grin grin

But to be honest unlocking takes 15days these days, at least mine did and some few other people I know too.
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 grin

Wow,this is very great news,

Means global rom can be installed on redmi 5 plus,no long tin needed again,

Great info!!!!!
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 grin grin
