QUOTE(djlah @ Mar 16 2018, 12:49 PM) yes at the first place, but patient no more  china rom still have language option on first boot up. So I select English, use as normal. But floated with many china bloatware which I hate, and no play store. MIUI forum have tutorial how to install Google play services, pretty easy. now everyday counting, how many hours left to wait.... Heard that if you've unlocked a xiaomi phone before you'll no longer have to wait for newer phone I've unlocked my mom's redmi note 4 before but afraid that's not the case

QUOTE(djlah @ Mar 16 2018, 06:24 PM) please share once you tested, really like to know how the outcome. Most comments so far said no more 86006 error even with no vpn. Hopefully that remains true when I tried later Edit: whoops there's one now This post has been edited by Afi156: Mar 16 2018, 07:28 PM

QUOTE(uan @ Mar 17 2018, 02:23 PM) Only 2. China rom n global rom. If you chk the rom version code, the last 4th and 3rd character shows either "CN" or "MI" to indicate either china or global. [attachmentid=9666552] Both china or global stable rom works fine. Only that china rom you need to install Google playservice, and manually remove unwanted china app. As long it is official rom, no need to worry. And if you unlock the bootloader, you can switch to any official or custom rom. Do you screenshot on another phone or already install custom rom on your r5+

QUOTE(uan @ Mar 18 2018, 11:18 AM) This is the first gen. As i can remember, getting custom recovery is not straight fwd. The stock recovery come with system 1 and system 2 for whatever reason, you need to merge that. There is guide for that. hows the snapiness with the mi pad on custom rom?

QUOTE(fin8Ex @ Mar 19 2018, 02:40 PM) hi guys ask a noob question is it better to go for the 4gb ram/64gb rom or the 3gb ram/32 gb rom is good enough? having 64gb rom got what advantage? 32gb aint too bad for storage but i personally bought the 64 just for the ram. before this on my opo i rarely went above 30gb of usage

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Mar 21 2018, 02:11 PM) Help!!!! This is the error I got whenever I click the button below » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « this error wont be fixed with any vpn at least from my experience and ive tried many.
what you need is to download the global developer rom (check my post history) and install it on your phone through system updater. Click the tree dots icon and click choose update package, then select the downloaded official developer rom from xiaomi.
No need for testpoint since yours is my set with official global rom sorry this is for 86006 error only This post has been edited by Afi156: Mar 21 2018, 03:10 PM

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Mar 21 2018, 03:11 PM) U mean this can't solve my issue? your issue iinm is when the phone doesnt have stable internet connection, the one i highlighted is the 86006 error where it can only be solved by installing developer rom. some said it can be solved with vpn but i wasnt successful with that

hi guys, can recommend a case for the phone?
links are appreciated
I prefer thin cases but not as flimsy as the included free case
would have used the phone naked like my opo but its too slippery

QUOTE(filage @ Mar 22 2018, 02:57 PM) Which is better to buy Redmi 5 Plus 64GB RM 699 (AP Set) or RM 795 (Xiaomi Malaysia set) on 11street. depends on how youre going to use it, if want warranty and dont mind miui then my set is fine but if want to unlock bootloader, install gcam, custom rom (all these void warranty iinm) then ap is the way to go

Bought the nilkin case. Still prefer the free jelly case  . It is thin nevertheless and looks super nice on the r5+ just not suited for my hand. Anybody wants it? I'll sell it for rm17 including post. Original price is 17+7 post
