To use unsigned themes (themes that are not signed from Xiaomi Themestore !) you would need to switch from Global WCDMA ROM to a China WDCDMA ROM. Or you can simply install a Developer version ROM to manually install .mtz theme file . Manually loading themes is not possible in global ROM’s due to copyright issues.

Welcome to XDA !!! Now Next step is a flawless CM !!!


This time I win https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif . Its a trial though. Hope it gets permanent https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif


It will be permanent . They had to open a dedicated forum for it due to heavy pressure from Renowned XDA members ! It is there to stay ! See how it gets flooded with users !!! It has an ever growing user base. Especially in Europe their is crazy excitement about the device ! And if you get development from countries like Poland , Sweden , Denmark , Hungary , france this device would have awesome developer base !

First step is either Activate Android Device Manager or Cerberus Permanently. Cerberus if activated gives a lot more number of options in case of theft (as we are seeing rising number of cases). If you don’t have Cerberus please activate Android Device Manager . To Actiavte go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators > Check on Android Device Manager or Cerberus (if you have it ! ).

app locking is inbuilt in MIUI . You don’t need to use any apps. To Lock Apps got to :-
Settings > Security > Privacy Protection > Lock Apps . Now add apps to be locked.

Cerberus Playstore Link:-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=c...

android Device Manager app must be already installed on the device .

Xiaomi and Flipkart is cheating many customers..
My order has been Cancelled 2 &^$^ times…
This post i post on facebook XIaomi page via my friend’s account:

Mi India Do you really want to sell your phone because This is the proof Here’s a different story…

MY ORDER HAS BEEN CANCELLED 2 TIMES…. :x
I’m able to Order it successfully both times on 5th and 12 aug but both times flipkart does cancel my order…
After numerous call they are trying to be clueless and are like "Bas Aap nahi khridh sakte , Bas yahi reason hai "
I mean serously ??
This is how you do your business… I doubt this how “FLIPKART” has become no.1 shopping site in india…
They Seriously ding this… Without any Reasons cancelling many people’s order .. If you have no Stock then why are making the People Fool…
Flipkart and you Mr. Xiaomi are playing games…
I’m not gonna trust you guys anymore..
AMAZON is the best , they care for their customers , their care executives sounds educated rather than flipkart illiterate ones…

IF you don’t want to sell your phones to every people rather than few ones then why are making fool of us…
You guys are playing with us…..and you soon have to pay the cost too…
MARK MY WORDS….

Screenshot for order cancelled 2 times :
