Anyone managed to get past the installation of 3rd party theme?

I tried to get additional theme using the built in Theme app, but it says 3rd party theme not allowed once I downloaded and tried to select Apply.

Encryption of SD card is available in most of the new phones running Android 5.0 and above. I'm not sure why it is not available in Mi Max.

On Samsung, it is there since Android 4 days. This feature so far never available in Miui.

also the signal 4G on the mi max kinda poor.

when at home I can't receive 4G network, the phone will stay at 3G always.

when I switch to other phone using the same SIM card it can receive 4G 100%. I tested Asus and iPhone.

Under Security menu in Settings, there is an option to encrypt phone and encrypt SD card. Once you encrypt SD card, the data cannot be read using other phones or computers.

Ok. So if the phone is spoilt, then how do I access the date on the microSD then?

If the phone is dead, there is no way to decrypt the SD card contents. The encryption key is stored in the secured memory of the phone, which the users don't have access to.

So, you need to have another backup of SD card contents elsewhere.

You cannot. This is the purpose of encryption. You should have backup somewhere else.
You always need s backup as SD memory do not last forever.
