Parsh's MI Config 2017

[Parsh]

Have kept things simple here :-D
I have no plans to root my device soon, though I am a super fan of the same.
In my previous Galaxy Note 2 and 3 Neo, I used to jointly flash and script mods. MIUI has kept me in place.

One tip for superusers: try 'Atitheft Droid SMS' or 'Antitheft Droid Web'. These are factory-reset-proof apps I had found damn useful.
Suggestions welcome!

Wow, thats a very nice setup, thanks for sharing! I am curious, with all the MIUI UI does its somewhat look like an iPhone?

Screencaps if you can please, i am very curious....

I dont know why I settled for a simple elegant theme in MIUI (with custom icons ofcourse). I haven't used any custom launchers or 3d themes or zooper widgets. Plain MIUI. Love it!

Spoiler: Homescreen Screenshots

Here's the iPhone theme you were looking for There are many more

And many more themes in my favorites (each with some custom style element)

-------------

AND HERE COME MY ACTUAL SCREENS

EDIT: @Svoll I missed showing you the UI of updated apps. Here it is:

Spoiler: MIUI Apps (screenshots)

My college buddy has a white Redmi Note3 and I have the black (gray) one.
For me, the iPhone theme with that new blue-orangish shade waves wallpaper + iOS icons look great only with the White device (just like I like the iOS colors on white iPhones only). He has the iOS theme and looks gorgeous. Mine is plain MIUI. I is happy

What icon packs are you using?

 

[Parsh]

What icon packs are you using?

Spoiler: Icon packs (screenshot)

These are the icon packs and I use 'Awesome icons' app to modify app icons on stock MIUI launcher.
MIUI adds ugly colored paddings to app icons. So I change the icons on my main screen using this app

Thanks for the screen shots, its beautiful! I remember getting my hand me down phone (galaxy 2) from my dad and always modding at XDA. Miui was my favorite Rom then and looks somewhat like an iphone then.

Thanks once again for a trip down memory lane even tho it was only 2 years ago, hahaha.

This is one of things I hate the most in MIUI hehehe

Great! XDA was my part time family too. It used to feel like home.
However, I avoided MIUI custom ROMS because they felt heavy, and damn they pretty much are right now too

I will say that Xiaomi provides more than anyone would ever expect from an android phone. Users are already pseudo superusers!
Yet, these phones are not for non-techies. Default restrictive settings, so many, I mean really many tweaks and settings are hidden here and there and it feels like we could explore MIUI for all day!
Many settings and options need to be changed before you can have normal RAM operations, background maintenance etc.

Too bad they are only available at certain areas. I would love to get the Xioami Mi Mix. On a CDMA network so that won't happen and GSM networks in the US are how do I put it, spotty reception.

I get it
It's difficult in US and places in Europe too
In Asia, people were crazy for booking MI phones during Flash Sales. People used to chuck work and play, all to get a chance to book a Redmi phone!

Some appz you add in configuration I could not find on Google play store
Could you give me link

Also does it free like


ORBOT browser (TOR) - AdClear

Does orbot proxy affect on speed of network

Intel appz does better than lastpass

Here's Adclear. It was featured on XDAdevelopers.com too. It's good for non-rooted devices.
For rooted devices, many patchers are available eliminating the need of using a VPN to block ADs.
And here's Orbot!
I don't have enough points to differentiate except that Intel Truekey has nice integration with Windows (Windows Hello) and can be used to login to Windows. Both have fingerprint access in Android. Rest, you can try out both to decide.

Many thanks for appz

No problem Happy exploring!
One thing, if you're going to download more apps from external sources, have an antivirus ready, like Bitdefender antivirus free.

Looks good! Do you need unknown sources for apks?

I do! Like some modded apps or some apps like Adguard etc. that aren't allowed on Play Store but are trusted and awesome!
