BORING of MIUI Flash Stock Android or CyanogenMod 11S on Your Xiaomi Mi4 Now!
BORING of MIUI Flash Stock Android or CyanogenMod 11S on Your Xiaomi Mi4 Now!
Xiaomi’s newest flagship, the Mi4, was launched just last month and ships with the latest stable build of MIUI 5. MIUI 6 is in the works and is able to be beta tested right now if you’re an owner of a Mi4, but what if you’re not really feeling Xiaomi’s very Apple-like skin over Android? Many people love stock Android, and Android 4.4.4 KitKat is not just the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, it’s also the best by far. Not only this but Google’s own visual style is unique and doesn’t look like Apple or Microsoft’s style, giving your phone a uniquely different look from the other Mi4 phones out there if you want to go stock.
So how do you do it? Right now over at XDA-Developers there’s an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 11S that works with the Xiaomi Mi4, and it only takes the custom ClockworkMod Recovery to get it installed. This is the same version of CyanogenMod found on the OnePlus One, which means that you’re getting awesome features like the CyanogenMod theme engine, brand new camera app, off-screen gestures and more. All the instructions are over at XDA so make sure to check them out and of course take caution as doing this could render your phone unusable if something goes awry.
Secondly at the official MIUI forums a user has ported stock Android 4.4.4 using the phone’s custom kernel for maximum compatibility, meaning you’re less likely to run into the weird bugs that can pop up when dealing with custom ROMs. The Mi4 is a closed source device so developing custom ROMs for it has been a little difficult, however when there’s a will there’s a way in the world of Android, and it looks like it only took about a month since the initial launch to get a stock Android ROM on the phone. Everything here is super base stock so there’s no theming or advanced camera features, but Google Camera has come a long way and delivers amazing results for the modes it supports. If you’re looking to get your stock Android fix look no further, and as always make a backup before you do any of this! If you don’t have your own Xiaomi Mi4 you can buy the16GB version here, and the 64GB version here!

Facebook To Invest In Xiaomi!!!
Facebook To Invest In Xiaomi!!!
Mark Zuckerberg and Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun discussed a potential investment by Facebook in China’s top smartphone maker ahead of its $1.1 billion fundraising last month, but a deal never materialised, several people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The discussions, at a private dinner when Zuckerberg visited Beijing in October, were never formalised, three of those people said, as the two CEOs weighed the political and commercial implications of Facebook – which has been banned in China since 2009 – buying into the Chinese tech star now valued at $45 billion (roughly Rs. 2,79,588 crores).
One individual with direct knowledge of Xiaomi’s fundraising said the mooted Facebook investment was “not huge”, but the talks underscore how ties between U.S. and Chinese companies have deepened as China’s tech industry matures.
A Facebook investment in Xiaomi would have raised the international profile of the popular handset maker dubbed “China’s Apple” by its fans and linked it to a U.S. social networking phenomenon with more than 1.3 billion users.
Facebook, for its part, has long harbored ambitions to expand into the world’s most populous country, potentially with partners. One of the individuals said Facebook and Xiaomi began discussing a possible investment in mid-2014.
Xiaomi’s Lei was partly put off by the potential for political fallout at home of selling a stake to Facebook while the U.S. social network is still banned in China, two of the people said, adding Xiaomi also feared a tie-up with Facebook could threaten its relationship with Google, a crucial business partner. Xiaomi’s phones are built on Google’s Android operating system.
Xiaomi ultimately announced last month it raised $1.1 billion (roughly Rs. 6,834 crores) from investors including Hong Kong-based tech fund All Stars Investment; DST Global, a private equity firm that has invested in Facebook and Alibaba Group; Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC; Chinese fund Hopu Management; and Alibaba founder Jack Ma’s Yunfeng Capital.
The fundraising valued Beijing-based Xiaomi at $45 billion just three years after it sold its first smartphone. The company had revenue of close to $12 billion (roughly Rs. 74,556 crores) in 2014.
Zuckerberg has eyed China as a critical piece of his vision to connect the global population. But, like Google and Twitter, the social networking giant has been blocked by China’s internet censors, who cite national security concerns.
“Facebook wants to get into China, and Xiaomi is keen to expand outside, so they both recognise the importance of working together,” said one of the knowledgeable individuals, none of whom wanted to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Xiaomi and Facebook declined to comment for this article.
The two CEOs knew each other previously and deepened their relationship last year. In October, Zuckerberg was invited for dinner at Lei’s Beijing home along with Facebook business development chief John Lagerling and China head Vaughan Smith.
The next day, Zuckerberg, whose wife is Chinese-American, addressed the prestigious Tsinghua University and won plaudits for speaking in Mandarin during a 30-minute Q&A session.
As Xiaomi sought financing last year, ICONIQ Capital, a San Francisco-based fund that manages several individuals’ personal wealth, including Zuckerberg’s, also considered buying shares, but ultimately did not, several people with knowledge of the matter said. Talks about ICONIQ taking part in Xiaomi’s financing were not led by Zuckerberg himself.
ICONIQ declined to comment.
Called off
Xiaomi is China’s biggest smartphone maker, according to some industry analysts, and trails only Samsung and Apple in global market share.
A strategic partnership with Xiaomi would give Facebook
another avenue to distribute its apps and potentially provide a powerful ally in its bid to overturn its China ban.
For Xiaomi, access to Facebook’s vast banks of user data would be valuable as it seeks to grow into a global internet company providing comprehensive online services.
But Lei thought it would be “too sensitive” to sell an equity stake to Facebook given its uncertain political status in China, said one of the people with knowledge of the matter.
China’s top internet censor, Lu Wei, has warned that social media, particularly foreign services, could be a destabilising force for Chinese society. Lu, however, visited Facebook’s U.S. headquarters last month, prompting speculation that relations between Facebook and China’s government were warming.

Xiaomi Mi4 Vs Samsung Galaxy Note Edge REVIEW!!!
Xiaomi Mi4 Vs Samsung Galaxy Note Edge REVIEW!!!
- the new Samsung Galaxy Note Edge versus the new Xiaomi Mi4 (FDD-LTE model).
- Both smartphones offer impeccable builds with a quality that you can feel with your hands and see with your eyes.
- Both use full metal frames and trim for strength and a solid build. Xiaomi is taking the smartphone world by storm in China and India – bumping Samsung from the number one spot in China.
1. They do expect to expand around the world, but they are taking ‘baby-steps’ as they lay a solid foundation.
2. There are not too many features that these two devices share other than the 3GB of
RAM. The batteries are close – 3000mAh for the Galaxy Note Edge and 3080mAh for the Mi4…and both will easily get you through a full day of service.
RAM. The batteries are close – 3000mAh for the Galaxy Note Edge and 3080mAh for the Mi4…and both will easily get you through a full day of service.
3. The do have the usual suspects – Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a microUSB connector for charging and data transfer.
4. They also share having an IR Blaster on board, probably because both Samsung and Xiaomi sell HDTVs.
5. They are both running Android 4.4 KitKat with the Galaxy Note Edge receiving its 5.0.1 Lollipop upgrade shortly, while the Mi4 runs its own overlay of MIUI 5.
- Please take a look over the detailed specification sheet below and see exactly where the Galaxy Note Edge and the Xiaomi Mi4 differ and then we will look at each individual device, determine some pros and cons to help see if we can pick which one of these smartphones deserves to win this competition.
- Specifications
- Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
- The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was a real surprise announcement this year – rumors were running ramped that they had a curved screen display, but nobody realized it was ready for production.
- It combines the great Galaxy Note 4 with a twist of innovation and what we get is a premium device with a little “WOW” factored in.
- Its full metal frame and trim, combined with the curve display and the faux leather backing make for a sweet ride.
- The Galaxy Note Edge sports a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 x 160 (curved edge) pixels and 524 pixels-per-inch (PPI), a somewhat larger and sharper resolution than the 441 PPI found on the Mi4.
- The US version of the Note Edge uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor clocked at 2.7GHz – the next generation of the Snapdragon 801 found in the Mi4. As we mentioned earlier, both devices come with 3GB of RAM – the Galaxy Note Edge comes with 32GB of internal storage with room to expand via a microSD card. This compares to the 16GB and no expansion found in the Mi4, although Xiaomi is promising a 64GB version sometime in the future.
- Samsung cranked it up a notch on the Galaxy Note cameras this year – a 16MP sensor with autofocus, LED flash, ISOCELL technology for better pictures in low light, the ability to take live HDR shots and most of all, they included OIS.
- You can get some great photos with the Galaxy Note Edge…a notch above the Mi4. When it comes to the front-facing camera (FFC) on the Note Edge, it has a 3.7MP 120-degree wide-angled lens for great group selfies or a group video chat.
- The Mi4 does provide a large 8MP and it should take some fantastic selfies. The 3000mAh battery, while smaller than the 3220mAh of the original Galaxy Note 4 – they had to chop some off for the curved display – it will certainly get you through an entire day.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is packed with special features – starting with the curved display and S-Pen.
Those two features add a lot of functionality to this device that cannot be reproduced with the same feel by any other smartphone at this time.
It is also set for VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling, when available. It can take advantage of LTE Cat-6, and uses three microphones for noise cancellation and great sound when making phone calls.
It features Samsung’s UPSM (Ultra Power Saving Mode), download booster, a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, a UV and Oxygen saturation sensor.
The Galaxy Note Edge is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz, although it should be receiving its new 5.0.1 Lollipop very soon.
It is available on all major US networks for $399 (24692.11 INR) on a two-year contract or about $850(52602.25) off-contract.
- Xiaomi Mi4
- This Xiaomi Mi4 is the new FDD-LTE model that works using Bands 1 (2100MHz) and 3 (1800MHz). Right now.
- it is available only in white and only the 16GB model.
- but according to their website, they will eventually release a black model and a 64GB model – neither model has room for additional storage.
- The full-metal body and trim give the Mi4 a solid feel and makes for a premium looking device, even with a plastic back.
- The Mi4 is comfortable in your hand and a pleasure to use.
The Xiaomi Mi4 comes with a 5-inch FHD IPS LCD with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, and because of its smaller size.
it has 441 PPI – not quite up to the larger 5.6-inch display and 524 PPI on the Note Edge.
The Mi4 uses the Galaxy Note Edge’s ‘baby brother’ in the processor department, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU clocked at 2.5GHz.
This is the same processor found in the latest Samsung Galaxy S5 and is certainly no slouch.
As in the Note Edge, it has 3GB of RAM, but only 16GB of internal storage and no room for expansion.
When I checked on Xiaomi’s website, they will eventually offer a 64GB model, like I said above.
Xiaomi is very much like Google – they want you to use the cloud to store your data, not your device.
In the camera area
we find that both devices part company to some extent.
The Mi4 uses a Sony produced 13MP sensor, auto-focus and a dual-LED flash, but the Mi4 does not have the OIS capability.
The 8MP FFC is huge when compared to the 3.7MP of the Galaxy Note Edge, but the Note Edge uses a 120-degree wide-angle lens making for a great video chatting or selfie experience as well.
The 3080mAh is not much larger than the 3000mAh found on the Galaxy Note Edge and both should easily get you through a full day of work or play.
Extra Features
beside the usual Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, IR Blaster and microUSB port that both devices possess.
the Xiaomi Mi4 has a bottom mounted speaker and an FM Radio. This is the new FDD-LTE device.
so please check with Xiaomi’s website and your carrier to make sure that you can use 4G LTE in your country.
The Xiaomi Mi4 is running Android 4.4.2 KitKat with MIUI 5 on top.
Pricing is all off-contract via online ordering – approximately $400(24754.00) for 16GB model.
For INDIA R.S 19,999
