Actually, why is there a need to meddle with with the flash tool? I've been downloading the developer ROM, copy it to the phone, then use the updater tool to install the ROM and it's worked for me both times i used it. Now, doing it for the third time on my Challenger pre-order set.

By the way, the free gifts for the pre-order is XM 5,000mah powerbank, Sandisk 32gb sdcard and 01 unbranded wireless speaker, for those who are keen to know.

Just received my Mi Max 32gb

After lurking on this thread for many weeks, I finally succumbed and placed my order for the Mi Max 32GB on Lazada from Smartcell last Friday. I was mostly attracted by the screen size, battery life, and of course, the price! It just arrived this morning.

The set is from India and came fully sealed. It came out of the box with Global ROM so I did not have to tinker with the ROM. I am now updating to 7.5.7.0 directly on the phone.

Coming from a Nexus 6P, I was a little apprehensive about MIUI but after playing around, I am pleasantly surprised. I have tried Samsung, HTC and did not like the Android skins on both.

I am sure I will have more questions after I start using the phone as my daily driver. I am waiting for my case which I ordered on Aliexpress to arrive before doing so. I do have a question now: what is the purpose of keeping the phone logged into the Xiaomi account? What does it do?

I am also curious whether most people are using the MIUI launcher or other launchers like Nova or Google launcher. I will post my review after using it for a while. So far, the only thing I am not used to is the back button is on the right instead of the left like the Nexus.

So far, I like MIUI interface. I don't like TouchWiz. I always have to use Nova Launcher when I was using my Samsung because there is no more Launcher for MIUI that is decent.

Now I am on Mi Max, so everything is good.

Same, coming from Sony, back button is also left. Haha.

Btw, the button functionality can be reassigned in MIUI.

Yah. I have set the "back" button to the left already using the above method.

Haha! :s13:

Just the trailer in the toilet!

Talking about this type of horror movies, nothing beats the Vatican Tape (2015) yet! Everyone must watch that movie if you have missed it! :s22:

I am still curious why so many users like using miui launcher because it does not have app drawer.

or miui is solely for xiaomi phones?
