For some, it is a sport, some a hobby and some just to join the bandwagon.

So if you don't mind buy your phone and enjoy it.

I don't know if I'd have business with it or not that's why I asked what ROM flashing is all about and why people do it

ROM flashing is about installing (flashing) another OS (a custom ROM) onto your phone's primary storage (ROM). For instance, most Xiaomi and Redmi phones (except the Xiaomi Mi A series) usually come with Xiaomi's skinned version of Android called MIUI, which is quite different from stock Android (fonts, UI, themes, widgets, etc). Not everyone is a fan of MIUI, so flashing custom ROMs give users the opportunity to enjoy a different experience on their phones.
There are two things to note;
1. Snapdragon phones have more custom ROM development compared to other SoCs.
2. Installing custom ROMs is not for everyone, and it is also not a cakewalk. You have to follow a particular custom ROM's installation instructions else you will end up bricking your phone.

Eid Mubarak to everyone.... Wishing my fellow Muslims happy celebration and special shout out to ALHAJI LEI JUN, this thread won't be possible you....


We can't underestimate the numerous advantages of this thread, Through this thread and my personal actions I've been able to convert more than 30(Thirty) people(YES) to the Xiaomi family and GOD Knows how many people those estimated 30 servants of light have been able to convince to join the family!!!


This is my personal sallah testimony!!!




God bless ALHAJI LEI JUN smiley smiley smiley smiley

Xiaomi needs to start paying you for outreach.
I think it's just 5 or 6 people for me.

I shaa hope they continue to deliver cos these rich people can be amusingly obtuse sometimes

not really, I used the Mi A1 which came with the 625, the performance was good though, maybe I'll opt for the Mi A4, I hope the wait would be worthwhile, or what do you think, should I opt for something different, I love flashing of ROMs though, and other tweaks, my budget na 85k+

india always have very cheap phones. ..
why is dat?

Probably because some OEMs actually manufacture/assemble their phones in India. So, no extra export or import taxes I guess.

Bricking is the process of turning your useful, vibrant electronic marvel of a phone into a worthless, dead, slab; sort of an expensive brick. A bricked phone is usually only good for hammering nails, as a door stopper, as a paperweight, amongst other mundane things.
As for the dragons, know this - it is the time of the dragons, more specifically the Snapdragons. The Snapdragons have bested every foe they have encountered, well all except the Bionic ones. Right now the Snapdragons sit atop the mountain, akin to the way Shao Kahn used to sit atop the ladder in Mortal Kombat. Know this though, there have been prophesies about the eventual dethronement of the Snapdragons, whispers about certain Dimensities and Exys.
An SoC is a System On a Chip, it is basically the most important parts of a phone (CPU, GPU, modem, etc) housed together in a package.
I hope with these few words of mine I have been able to satisfy your curiosity, curious sir.

Please, I posted here few months ago about get a uwatch charging cord replacement. But couldn't get locally or here. I ordered for replacement in Feb, but due to ongoing lockdown and erratic logistics, I've not have it delivered.If na borrow, gift or buy, I need one. My uwatch is redundant


Note: I know it not supposed to be here, but this is urgent.
