Any idea how to stop Xiaomi own browser advertisements that keep on popup? Note that this is not the normal advertisements that you see on websites.

This is my first Xiaomi and I just hate the apps that come with it. Heck, even the battery management software comes with a lot of built-in advertisements and to top it off, it is just a free version of a paid apps, which means it will reminding you to buy a full version. WTF is Xiaomi doing?

Hello. New user here. Bought from lazada. My unit come with miui v 7.1.1.0 with bloatware everywhere. Try to root and ended with boot loop after try to replace kingroot with supersu.

Long story short, able to boot to download mode, install miflash tool and other necessary driver and cerrently on v7.1.2.0 eu stable. Play store ready and no chinese bloatware.

I would recommend others to try.

miflash tool and drivers: link
miui v7.1.2.0 eu stable: link

Next, wait and see how the battery perform.

Does anyone know how to set the PIN so it could take more than 4 digits? I find this limitation is very annoying as other brands doesn't have this sort of stupid limitation. And I don't feel like to use password as a workaround as it will pop the keyboard up instead of the normal keypad when unlocking the phone.

Because you bought something that isn't original default MIUI ROM by Xiaomi, instead is Vendor ROM that came with PlayStore and some other sponsored Apps.
Official ROM by Xiaomi have no bullsht advertisement on those bloatware apps.

I see. How do I get the official ROM? Thank you in advance.

There are 4 version of Official ROM.
- China Stable
- China Developer
- Global Stable (Not available yet)
- Global Developer (Not available yet)

Global Stable/Developer come with PlayStore/Google Services but the Redmi 3 is not yet launch on Globally. So it won't be able to have it until they launch it.

China Stable/Developer are official ROM for China market, problem is it doesn't default come with PlayStore/Google Services.
*
I see. How do I get the China stable? And how do I sideload the google services? Thank you in advance.

Battery performance update:
On battery: 1d 1h 50m
SOT: 4h 40m
Remaining: 40%

Can I install it using the built-in upgrade apps?

Seems like a Vietnamese Forum instead of EU.

Flash using the miflash tool.

Also, i want to report that this rom (and other miui 7 too i believe) suffer from wifi sleep bug, which make gcm not working properly, and causing delayed notification for whatsapp, telegram and other app that use gcm. Hope this can be fixed soon.

I see. So its not like normal Xiaomi ROM that we could select in the upgrade apps menu?

Btw, what is "gcm" anyway? Thanks.

Here for the ROM.

Google services.. uhm.. i forget where did I bookmark the page at MIUI forum, you try google it.

That was Redmi Note 3 ROM but no worries, I found the Redmi 3 ROM before I read your reply. But I thank you anyway.

Btw, do share the steps that you used to install Google services. Does it works out well or crashing when running some of the google apps? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I have found the exact same guide earlier but to be on the safe side, I just hope to hear from someone here who has actually tried the guide out with the Redmi 3. Thanks again.

Managed to flash the ROM finally. Just install MiFlash as it is and I uninstalled the Qualcomm Driver that came seperately in the zip file.

I'm using MIUI V7.1.3.0.LHPCNCK with ROOT&Xposed (LB) for MiFlash http://en.miui.com/thread-236545-1-1.html

Very light and say goodbye to those rubbish ads and bloatwares. The only thing is that these kind of custom ROMs do not support OTA which means you have to manually download and flash these updates.

How did you actually do this: "and I uninstalled the Qualcomm Driver that came seperately in the zip file."

Thank you in advance.

When you use this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html

I just install MiFlash by itself on Windows 10 (booted it with driver signature verification disabled). I did not install the Qualcomm Driver that came in the zip file. (Earlier I installed and it seems I have error when I tried to flash)
*
Installed MiFlash and adb driver etc. Run the flash under download mode but the error came out.
