Some brave guys here already did and share the 'tips' if you search thru' this thread:

Did you pull out the entire metal piece from the SIM?

If yes, after removing, you'll still need to heat it up to remove as much glue as possible from the back of the metal portion. I put the SIM on a spoon and used a lighter. You could do a more controlled job, by using a heat gun.

Next, take a razor/pen-knife, put it at an incline, and start scraping off the glue. Takes a good 10-15 minutes, to carefully do so. The end result will be a wafer thin SIM, with a small protrusion at the centre of it.

Next, use a very thin double side tape and align it on the MicroSD (i didn't need to sand my MicroSD card) then put a small drop of superglue and spread it out like kaya on bread, after which, align your SIM onto the SD card.

Do note that there is increased resistance when slotting the SIM tray back for the first time. You'll need to do it slowly and gradually, lest you damage your SIM pins inside the phone.

After a while, I can however still take out the SIM tray with no issue, only slightly more resistance, but it is otherwise smooth (not like it's puling against the SIM pins)

Har? Then must do this for ALL apps meh??

Ya lor!

Go through all the Apps permission once and for all and check those apps that have the "Allows Pop Up Window" selection and enable them! :s22:

By default, they are OFF unless the Apps ask for it during installation and at 1st operation asking you to "Allow" it!

That's MIUI! Super tight security and permission than other brands! Very virgin! i like it that way! :s22: :D

Mi Max HardwareZone Forums app
Click to expand...

This is for customed batch file for installing apk in one bunch type via desktop. Like for e.g. in en miui forums, there is one user created google apps for china rom to be install via desktop via .bat file in the early days of mi max....

Or any type of apps that require u to install on desktop to phone...

I believe all android have this functions, just that miui bring it out to the security app (normally under developer options)...
