Which rom to install ? cyanogenmod ?

Not everyone likes to install different rom. You don't expect everyone to buy a hardware and learn to flash rom themselves. Besides that, many are stuck with slow and limited internet.
There are many non-techie guys and gals out there who want "it-just-works" concept. Buy and use.

Correct. 99% people like this. the 1% is in lowyat forum.

Even I geeky also I don't like flash or root my iphone and note3. In fact, I ban all rooted phones from office wifi.

however, don't mind playing around with mi or honors simply because I can afford it.

Link please.
Which one in here?

Technically no way to find out. Solution simple only. Sign a form that says don't root your device or else employment is terminated.
lines are paid, company provide s3 and wifi is free. so far, all agree.

they want you to stop playing with your telephone and do your work.

companies are run by people, people do idiotic things.

muh cloud.
sms uses the telco network. why would it go to xiaomi server.
are they just backing up your messages? how do you recover the messages then? try to wipe your phone see if it restores your messages.

in the article, xiaomi defended they would encrypt your messages. did you create a key or password for it? no? that means the key is with xiaomi. that is not how privacy works.

they said they wouldn't use the info against you, that just mean they won't directly threaten you, nothing about data mining, etc.

xiaomi is doing this without any user permission, i know botnet when i see one.

they can't even release the kernel source which is under gpl and you're suppose to just trust them?

you guys are just in denial.
this isn't just baseless paranoia, it smells fishy afterall.

cyanogenmod will be the best solution but that will take time if there's even a developer working on it.
otherwise use a firewall and ban china.

you get what you paid, in this case you sold yourself for a telephone. how cheap.
you have been warned.

May I know what problem did you experience with the Global ROM that is fixed in the China ROM?

I thought China's network is different? Can use China ROM? Still can download Google Play store and other google apps in China ROM?

Is this (http://en.miui.com/thread-11242-1-1.html) how you install rom? no extra step required? any problem? The guide seems very easy. No root required?

(I'm newbie. Will be first time flashing rom).
