And it makes sense more than the whatsapp itself shey?
Hellotta sense bro...

You can literally customize the full ui and give your whatsapp a whole different look...

The privacy features are endless, and that's what I use it for. Imagine tweaking the privacy settings for a contact in such a way that, when you receive a message from that contact it displays a single tick on their whatsapp, giving them the impression that you haven't received their message when you've in fact, recieved and read the message.

Bro, post your ads jor. If anybody is bothered he/she should do humanity a favour and quit the thread.

Most of the peeps complaining about ads are new and those ads have been here long before any of them.

Gracing the issue with a response is giving those whinners too much recognition, and that's the reason I've been mute about it. Just do your thing and stick to your hustle jare #my2kobo

You got it all wrong, bro. I'm rocking my RN4 wella. The intending owner don't seem to like the MIUI skin, that it is too complicated for her and needs something diff. Nevertheless, Note4x is still on her list; not just № 1!!

First and foremost, we all should understand what it means to unlock your phone's Bootloader.
You lose your phone's warranty. Also, you will lose the "Find Device" feature on your device. Yes, you read right...
So if you can be able to deal with the loss of those 'two', then you can go ahead to unlock your device.

PROCEDURE 1

By now you must have a MI account, if you don't, create one and login on your device.

Activate "locate service", set your region in additional settings and sync it one time in mi cloud.

Login your account on MI forum . YOUR ACCOUNT USERNAME IN YOUR PHONE MUST MATCH THE ONE IN THE MI FORUM.

Grab your PC.

Download and install any VPN on your PC (I always use OPERA or FLYVPN).

Change your location to any (In my case, I used SHANGHAI).

Now go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Tap UNLOCK NOW.

Apply by giving reasons you need to unlock your phone's Bootloader.

Again, YOUR ACCOUNT USERNAME IN YOUR PHONE MUST MATCH THE ONE IN THE MI FORUM.
Tap on APPLY NOW.

After that, a confirmation SMS with a verification code will be sent to the phone number used in registering your MI account which you must've also typed on the application page.

After typing in the verification code sent to you from Xiaomi via SMS on the application page, you'll get a notification stating that your application was successfully submitted.

Next, you'll have to wait for another confirmation SMS stating that you've been granted PERMISSION to Unlock your phone's Bootloader.

For some, it took less than 5mins. Some 3-5days. But once you get the PERMISSION, you'll have to wait for at least 5days for Xiaomi to update their database before you get to Unlock your device using the MiFlash Unlock Tool.

PROCEDURE 2

By now, you must have received the SMS confirmation from Xiaomi granting to unlock the bootloader.

Enable Developer options. To do so, Go to Settings > About phone, and then tap ‘Build number’ 7 – 8 times for Developers options to appear.

Under Settings → Additional Settings→ Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status.

Also enable OEM UNLOCKING and USB DEBUGGING.

Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device.

Download the MiFlash Unlock Tool on your PC. (I downloaded Miflash_Unlock-En-2.2.406.5

Now reboot your device in bootloader mode.

Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume Down (-) button at the same time to enter into bootloader mode.

On your PC with a steady strong network, Open Mi Flash Unlock tool.
Login with the same Mi account you used in your Xiaomi device.

Connect the device with the PC using the USB cable.

Now press the “Unlock” button. It will take 10-15 seconds for the process to complete.

Now you have successfully unlocked your Bootloader.

NOTE:
Do not proceed in a hurry. Read each step carefully.

You are right.
With my earlier comment about my dislike for mods prior to my dealing with Honsule (whose awesome personality has finally forced me to think otherwise of 'em mods), I'm certain my moniker has entered Nairaland 2017 banning Hall of Fame. Eyes go begin watch my every post from now Lol

ThankGod I now have a mod to run to. I have no worries lol

These mods sha grin

Honsule is awesome. I purchased his galaxy s3 in Abuja in 2013 and it served me well toll I disposed it off
So he's been like this for years? Well, he just gave me a reason to 'like' the Mods. Lol prior to my encounter with him, I never liked Nairaland Mods. cry

A billions thanks to Honsule for gifting me his extra Tampered Glass screen protector.

Though I am yet to meet him in person but from what I gathered, he is a nice, easy-going, extremely understanding (almost to a fault) person who has no airs around him nor pride and is quick to make new friends.

Thanks a bunch for 'dashing' me your TP.

Why stop using Mtn wen U can get cheaper data at reseller rates. U can still get one gb of data at six fifty and two GB at one thousand two hundred.

Are you still "dashing" out the TP for Note 4? Mine is cracked and it has terribly affected the aethestics of the phone.

Was even thinking of re-porting the miui 8.1 for leagoo m5 posted on that russian forum you pointed me to, since they are similar in many aspects.

I will try porting it for the M5 plus. I've already downloaded it,but I'm a bit bothered about the size (704mb) which is way smaller than RN4x(mido) fast boot rom I downloaded few days ago.
