New to Xiaomi. Where to get the ROM? Need to unlock bootloader? Since EU version will have Google services, play store loaded?

Is there any place that has a display set for Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus?

Preferably the place also has ready stocks so that I can immediately hoot one?

Xiaomi Stores in China.

Sorry....I can't help it. Late at night now.

In Spore I don't think there is any.

I have an ipad air 2 for years but planning to give it to my dad for him to watch news and surf facebook due to its large size.

I got an amazon fire HD8 for cheap after glowing recommendations from my friend. It can run both amazon store and google play (after installing some drivers) but it turns out it is way too slow. Sometimes I can tap and wait for 0.5s before it responds, and the screen can be quite jerky. I lowered my expectations, but didn't expect it to be so slow.

How about mi pad 4? Thinking of getting one cuz it looks so much like ipad mini. I like android for its customisation and micro sd card expansion, but hope it will be as snappy as a 4-5 year old ipad. :s12:

So you guys got it from qoo10 right?

snappy after 4 - 5 years?
probably not. i guess apps will get larger in size over time and with newer apps, their processing appetite will be larger.
but to serve as a media player and browser shouldn't be too much of an issue.

then again, there is also possibility of flashing the device to lighter roms. like LOS
and maybe have the snappiness back.

No need install other custom ROM for Play Store. Just install it directly on China ROM will do. Everything is working fine.

Thanks. Saw it from youtube too. Initially, I tot there is EU or global available but after some search, it seems that there isn't any. Probably will unlock the bootloader using Mi tool. For those who had unlocked, don't lock it back as it will brick the mipad. Saw it from xda yesterday.

once unlocked, gotta wait patiently for official global rom to come to flash.

I saw in Qoo10 that this seller known as "Finer" is selling the 3/32 at $230, while the 4/64 is selling at $275. Need to pay an additional $3.50 to install google play store.

Is it recommended to buy from there?

think most ppl got it from there where there is $50 qoo10 voucher over the last weekend. Price are below $199.

Install the google play store is straight forward no point paying $3.50 + you get a sealed set which is better.

Wonder if this seller "finer" can also help to stick the screen protector as well while installing google play store.

Tempered glass is very much easier than those old times film protector.
Google play store just need some read up ,also not that difficult.
