It's software. But if it's something needed to be done on in the kernel level then even developer can't do anything about it.

Not most, but popular apps is there. All of it is free and in Chinese language. You can install google Playstore on your phone if you don't wish to use the MiStore.

Why not just install from the Playstore? Swiftkey is now free.

My Mi3 also hard to detect GPS satellite when I'm indoor.

Same thing happens. Once I go out, GPS satellite pops out. I don't care much about this, I don't often use GPS.

Mind if you list down the apps to allow in permission for our reference? Thanks.

It's usable for MY and SG Mi3. It's on latest Kitkat.

There's few additional feature in the latest stable rom, but overall you'll able to notice much smoother UI on Kitkat.

Yeah, that's good. Assuming the phone normal on screen time is 4 hours max, every 1 hours of on screen time will approximately drop 25% of battery.

Everytime as in you faced this problem multiple times already? Did you install CWM recovery or other sorts of recovery that overrides the default recovery?

For now, what you can do is download the rom manually from the web and flash the full rom using recovery.

Here, http://en.miui.com/download-101.html#164 make sure you download the correct one. Don't download TDCMA rom.

Since you already know one is China rom, another is Malaysia rom, the difference between the both simply put

China rom = the most original MIUI, contains features and apps specifically for China users, etc. Directory

MY rom = rip off from China rom and add in Google apps, you won't able to see MiMarket here.

Don't worry about the languages provided, English is always available in all MIUI roms.

I'm not getting such issue with my Mi3 on unifi default router.

Try Number Fixer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...mberfixer&hl=en

Yes, it's normal. The Kitkat rom for unknown reason under-performed in Antutu Benchmark compared to the stable 4.3 rom.

Download the ROM here,

http://en.miui.com/download-101.html#309

Make sure that you phone is the WCDMA variant (Snapdragon chipset) before flashing the Malaysia ROM.

Once you downloaded, copy the ROM file to your Mi3 storage in file named "downloaded_rom". Go to updater app, menu, and Select Update Package.

Don't think HDR works great in low light. HDR combines 3 different image of different exposures to enhance the details of the image, which works great if you're taking landscape images with sufficient light. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a photographer.

I just use the backup app from MIUI itself. Works fine, no more or less features there. You can backup the whole thing and choose what to restore later on.

It needs permission to view. Not open to all.

Yes, can see now.

Yes, 2.3Ghz is the clock speed of the snapdragon cpu. It is WCDMA.

Yeah, this GPL thing is all about it. Too bad though, but I just hope they'll release the kernel code once their latest flagship released. Hope there's other roms too.

True, however still unsure if other rom developer will develop for Xiaomi phones. Even now, what are the options available for older Xiaomi phones? I only saw WIUI before, optimized rom for Mi2 and Mi2s. (Btw, Mi3 does have WIUI rom too, still in beta)

Since the capacitive button works after you unlock the screen, must be software issue. I faced this issue before, restart the phone and no problem after that (on developer rom). If it occur, just restart your phone.

It's something we called optimization. We try do get the best out of something.

Not loud enough IMO, but don't worry about not able to hear your ringtone or notification sound. It's audible enough.
