Chai... Remember last year when I tried to install Global ROM on my RN5 China, I did all the pre rituals as normal like BL unlocking etc.. Den comes the main installation through MI flash, So I forgot to uncheck the "flash and lock" option before clicking flash. Wen I noticed it, flashing process had already started, so no going back again. for my mind I was busy lamenting about how I'm going to stress myself unlocking the BL again not knowing that I've successfully put my device on the road to "Soft Brick" which could even lead to a Hard Brick.
Las Las flashing finish successfully, device now started rebooting. While I was busy waiting to behold the new MIUI 10 update. I was greeted with greatest shock of my smartphone life, "This MIUI version cannot be installed on this device" bros, better piss catch me. Lol. I looked up looked down I was like, guy who send u sef, who send u!! I tried redoing the whole process again, nothing. Instead I was getting one "Edl error" message. Mehhn I almost lost balance. I could not even think straight.

So about an hour later I calmed down, den I started looking for solutions, funny how I didn't come here, lol. First I had to figure out what could have caused it which I later did. I was made to understand that Global Roms cannot be installed on a locked (Bootloader) RN5 China (which I did), if u do the fone will brick. That's why all RN5 China with global roms come with an unlocked Bootloader.

To cut the long story short, i spent almost 2 weeks looking for solutions, which was no where upto many users who stayed upto 3 months without a solution to it. I found help from the most unlikely sourc, a YouTube tutorial video with just 196 views, when thousands of users lined up on forums like XDA, MIUI, android authority etc looking for help and found none.

The experience really opened my eyes and made help understand how powerful and secured xiaomi devices really are.
With all due respect, this your post doesn't in any way point to a specific solution for users that presently find themselves in the situation you pointed out.

What is now the essence of this post? undecided

Why not share the exact steps and appropriate links?

I installed PES2019 mobile in my infinix S4, only to discover that the players in the game were FLYING on their own

Who else has this problem or know the cause

Is it about RAM or GPU

GPU. The Power VR GE8320 in Helio A22, P22 and P35 processors is extremely useless when it comes to gaming.

If you don't trust the opinions here, go to YouTube, then search for Techtablets review of the Redmi note 7. Techtablets is brutally honest and thorough in his reviews, because he buys those gadgets with his money.

dad/mum/my main sim? I no fit ooo

My main mtn was eligible and I used it for like 3 months before I wasnt eligible anymore so I started using the line for calls only. About 2weeks later, it became eligible again. Meanwhile, my 2nd sim that I abandoned for several months was never eligible.

I checked, there isn't. When you 1st open snapseed, those options that have things like looks, tools export. If you click looks, the filters there can't be edited. It's the ones on tools that can be edited

I use tools mostly, not styles.

All this because of 400 naira? undecided
Why do we consider it a taboo to buy software? Trying to cut corners is part of the reason we end up installing adware, spyware and viruses on our phones and causing more harm to ourselves without realizing it. angry

There is no free lunch, even in Freetown. You are paying for it in one way or another.
I'm a developer I care less about premium stuffs coz I can easily clone or get mod or hack as for spyware , malware I really care less as it's part of learning. What you said is practiced in western country not in Nigeria.

A developer who care less about premium stuffs but hopes to earn a living from software development. Quite hypocritical to me.

The pix wasn't even edited, I just slapped one effect on it. That just made the picture bright and yellowish. Even the effect couldn't be increased or reduced. That's why the pix looked as it did.

You can change the colors back from "Contrast and colors". I found it set to "increased". Setting it back to Automatic seemed to work. I personally prefer this new setting though.
That was the first thing I did the moment I noticed the contrast after the update, but it didn't help much. It's just a fundamental change in pie by default. "Contrast and colours" settings aside, the update has a higher contrast by default... It's integrated into the rom... You can't do much about it. I had to set mine to "standard" it's manageable. #BringBackOreoColours!

Listen up dude you can't compare dollar $ to naira I only buy premium stuffs when I'm working for a client.some premium tools,apps, softwares,themes, plugins, cost not less than 50k , if I'm living in an advanced country maybe I'd be buying premium stuffs. I have paid apps Nigerians'd buy next thing they request for refund blah blah they get refunded and they have my app. It's left for developers to use API key to prevent malicious use from non premium

Nothing like half-truths. The adverts are an issue and several youtube video reviews can testify to that. Airing my honest opinion should not be an issue.

You have been informed.

False, misleading information/half-truths you post here are not acceptable.

Guys, someone forwarded this message on WhatsApp and I was doubtful about it at first but when I tried it out, it did work. Just thought someone might be interested in this.
Open the following link. You will see the entire earth. There are numerous green spots around the earth. These green dots are local radio stations. Touch the green dot and play the local radio station. It is overwhelming. Some stations are too good. This took me way back home.
