Hey, I followed your instructions but I couldn't get past step 8, when i hold power and vol down, it would bring me to fastboot and then it would just stop there, advice? icon_question.gif
----EDIT----
I found a way to enter recovery! I'm now rocking cm11 on my phone, I will screenshot for you guys once i'm done customizing everything, thank you so so so much! notworthy.gif

So... here's my about phone after flashing cm11.

In my.experience, after 2 days of playing around
The good :
1. Battery life
Battery life is much better now, went through a day with about 20%, using whatsapp, fb, fb messenger, chrome and some YouTube. Not very light too, sorry I'm not good at explaining, I'll update with battery status OK? tongue.gif
2. RAM
Yes! Ram issue is solved! The multitasking on cm11 is really better compared to miui v37(dunno about 43), I open whatsapp, fb and chrome and all were still running in the background smoothly without any issues.
3. Google play
You won't know how fast google play is now compared to miui until you used cm11... It opens pages instantly, unlike miui which has a 1-2 second hesitation.

Bad
1. Still buggy
No doubt....its quite new so it would have some bugs, I don't know about others but my back facing camera won't start, but my front facing can, I'm puzzled with this, software issue?

Note that I am not a gamer, and I am only like a medium user, so don't expect some intense testing...antutu benchmark? Don't know....

Overall cm11 is worth it and IMO the pros outweigh the cons and when you compare it to miui it really is much superior.

Sorry for wall of text tongue.gif

Anybody using cm11 r3 unable to use camera? When I open the stock camera app it will force close and say "unfortunately, camera has stopped working", I tried to download 3rd party camera, open camera and camera 360, I managed to use the front facing but the back facing won't work, I have the option to switch and it switches but it shows fully black, and if i try to press the "shoot" button it won't do anything, any ideas?

How can I use a 64gb microsd on my redmi 1s? Officially it only supports 32gb but seems like if I format to fat32 I can use a 64gb... How do I do this? Risky ah? sweat.gif
