Xiaomi MI A2 Is Almost Useless Phone by grafixdon: 9:41pm On May 04, 2019
I bought this phone some months ago. The only thing I enjoy about this phone is the camera and battery, to even think I bought it 75k without any meaningful values.

No default app like Recording, Docker, FM Radio, Galary, Screen shot (except you press volume and power keys together. I'm even stocked with just one font, I can't change my font. I've used many wonders android phones in the past like Huawei, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, HTC. None as useless as this phone.

Too bad

Calm down, always make elaborate research before buying a phone. You're using stock android naa, go on play store and look for alternative apps that can perform those tasks

whenever you want to get a phone , ensure you check several phone sites to see the specification and pay attention to it , then watch/read reviews. If you're satisfied then get it . Don't just buy without getting yourself well informed about the phone.
I'll soon get a new phone, I'm already watching every review video I can about my options, so I don't get disappointed

Stock Android, not just stock rom, two different things. Stock Android is the way Google designed the Android Os to be. Its appearance is different from what you find in many big OEMS like Samsung, Huawei, etc. What you find in e.g Samsung, is the Android Os with modifications or additional features like icon packs, themes, wallpapers, gallery, file manager,etc. When such additions are made to the original Android Os, the Os is then referred to as skinned Android, not stock anymore. Examples of Skinned Android are the One UI on Samsung phones, Oxygen Os on Oneplus devices, Miui on most Xaiomi phones, Emui on Huawei devices, Xos on Infinix phones, etc.

Bros it is not an upgrade, you are justing changing over to another OS.

Most experienced Android users actually prefer stock android because they can tweak it the way they deem fit safely.

I suggest you go to Xiaomi thread on here and ask someone their to flash MIUI for you because I have a feeling if you do it yourself you will brick the phone.

Also, if you are indeed using Mi A2 and not the lite version you still will not have an inbuilt data-free FM radio app if you flash to MIUI. Your phone, like most stock android phones is really made for Europeans and they are not bothered about FM radio as they prefer streaming radio apps.

Dude is on stock AOSP ROM and he's making noise, I use only stock AOSP ROMs on my Android devices. Very fast and you customize to your taste. cheesy

Start by going to playtore and download everything Google,
. Calendar gallery, contact, phonebook, music, fiiemanager, gcam

You've got a beast on your hands bro with no bloatwares to eat up your RAM and CPU cheesy
