Order one dark grey Mi note yesterday afternoon, got it in the morning @10 am.. Xiaomi Malaysia really efficient..

First impression, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.. Not really impressed with the camera still quality. But what else can I expect at such good price range..

Enabling developer mode, set the transition to 0.5,im getting nexus like transition speed..in sorry if I'm too exaggerating tongue.gif

I have just underclocked the CPU to 1.4Ghz (Root needed) and battery life seems to be awesome (not as much drain as stock 2Ghz when using WhatsApp etc).

With 1.4Ghz, I dont feel any difference in performance. But I'm pretty sure when playing games, it will be noticeable.

Will update back after I test with a full battery cycle.

Have you check first page? Works well for me.

Yes. I have checked that.. When I want to flash via updater app, after choosing update.zip (twrp) suddenly it boots up..no flash option..and in my recovery can't choose the update.zip

either at the updater app > setting > reboot to recovery or shut down your phone, press power button + volume UP button together until the MI logo shows up.

hmm..already press on + volume up button..but the recovery still MI recovery..something wrong with my TWRP installation?

When it says flash to twrp successful, after that when u want to reboot, press power +volume up to enter recovery again or else the rom will revert the recovery to MI recovery.

U're welcome biggrin.gif Did u get to root it?

So u use adb windows command right? I simplify things by using windroid. It's kinda automatic. Just click2. But I also got the same problem. Reboot to see the MI recovery again. Few time until almost fed-up. Then I just try hold that button to reboot to recovery, very happy to saw twrp laugh.gif

Yeah.. Finally.. Wasted almost 5 hour just rooting.. Hopefully it is gonna be worth it.. Especially battery life.i wanna get 5 hour sot.. Yup.. Using windows command. No other way to root it
