Most right-handed people should be okay with the Back button on the default right wah... Unless you are a....

2. Right handed - Text on smartphone with right hand
3. Left handed - Text on smartphone with left hand
4. Left handed - Text on smartphone with right hand

Folks running Android 7 rom,

The only way to get your custom tone to sound for all apps including the WhatsApp custom tone to work is to root your phone.

With root, and root explorer. You can copy all your custom tones to the system/media/audio/notifications or ringtones folder so that WhatsApp can recognize the tone and play the selected custom tone.

I have just rooted my Mi Max Prime with Supersu 2.82! My WhatsApp can sound with my selected custom tone just likes the good old MIUI 8 now!

Happy!

Also,

EU rom 7.9.8 (basically the China rom) has brought back the Back / Menu buttons switch for folks who are crying for it.

You have got to unlock bootloader, install twrp, install custom rom likes eu rom, and then use the same twrp to install supersu 2.82 just likes installing the custom rom....

So, not everyone is willing to go through all these...

Wah! You champion.. Haha.

8.5.1.0 is the latest stable for Prime.

 

[Techno Pride]

Or get something similar to mine, < $10 from taobao. The X-One like not bad since they paste it for you.

What brand is this non full cover tempered glass that has no hall at the sides?

Got link...?

 

[Techno Pride]

Wah! You champion.. Haha.

8.5.1.0 is the latest stable for Prime.

Does the latest Globe Beta 7.9.7 have the Chrome bug? Where you try to copy the URL and the app screen cuts off at the top?

finally going to unwrap my mi max 1. can i check what is the recommended rom at this point in time? Is the latest ok, or should i use an earlier one?

Not sure about global beta 7.9.7.

I'm running eu rom 7.9.8 which doesn't have the bug you mentioned.

For the most bug free operations. Global Stable 8.2.3.0 (Android 6) is the best.

The latest 8.5.1.0 (Android 7) is good too except the manual brightness bug.

If manual brightness bug is not important to you. Then, I would say please go for 8.5.1.0...

Anyone managed to enabled VoLTE on this Mi Max? Irregardless what operator you're using. And provided it's already activated on provider's side.

I'm using StarHub, and unable to get it done with Mi Max. I can get VoLTE using my Redmi Note 4 MTK but after change some settings in MTK Engineering mode.

3 days into using MIUI 9 Beta rom (currently using eu rom 7.9.8 on Mi Max Prime)...

It has been impressive as promised by Xiaomi especially so the speed and smoothness as well the new animation.

I can also heard the significant improvement in Audio quality in earpiece mode, be in mp3 playback, video watching or YouTube playback.

So far, all my apps are working fine with MIUI 9.

This is only the beta rom. I think the upcoming Stable rom will be very impressive.
