There is an option to ship with singapore post which cost extra 2.11$ I guess it would be registered post. I’ve messaged the seller about it. Will post here once he replies.

is there any way to flash CUSTOM ROM? or Android STOCK ROM?

Not possible as of now cuz no custom rom. Source isn’t released. If some dev plans to port CM with prebuilt kernel then its possible. I’m waiting for post ROMs to pop up but that isn’t easy being MIUI as base.

@wolverine i got the reply from the seller for Screenguards . It is default shipped by Registered Air Mail ! So shipping should not be a issue !! Now we need people !

Can anyone tell me how to change the default launcher. I tried many but when I press home it keeps going back to the default one. Tried setting nova stage default launcher in its setings. Nothing seems to work. Changed default launcher in apps and it send to work but when I long press home it goes back to the stock launcher again and then we have to re enable again. Anyone knows how to disable this? Askhat, any ideas?

Watch this it will help you

Got Hugo barra signed card from fk as I was among first 100 customers in india to orxer mi3.

I gotta card too, few days ago. Didn’t realize its signed by Hugo. Just checked, and the initials HB are there, though the name isn’t printed anywhere. Sender is WS Retail. Nice… but I’m ok without such gimmicks. I’d rather they save the paper and postage.

are more deserving I think:roll:

Request to Akshat can you plz list down must have APPS as well as GAMES and what not to have on Mi3 in separate thread;-}

buddy don’t trust tech guru, They have gone worse…They have no products to review and was more like a chitter chatter comedy show rather than tech enthusiastic show..
Watch iGyaan,Geekyranjit,MKBHD,Android Authority , Techno Buffalo ,C4eTech instead..

Tech Guru is worst and doesn’t Deserve an TV show now a days…

However this is not optimized for english language and does not contain Google Play apps. (You wil need to flash GApps package again !)

2) To use English optimized version and ROM with Google Play apps included , download Dev ROM’s from here :-
