    I’m currently sitting on an upgrade for MIUI14. Parang ayaw ko pang mag-upgrade.

    Upgrading means I’d probably have to not just redo all the customization I’ve done on my phone, but also redo the entire debloating process. Nakakatamad.

    For those curious, here’s my phone model: Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

      Does Xiaomi have a similar feature in Samsung phones wherein it can automatically restore apps, settings, including the placement of docks and icons by logging in your Samsung (in this case, Xiaomi) account? It was really convenient when I got my repaired phone earlier this week. I thought it’ll take me the entire day just to restore everything.

        I think si google mismo, merong ganitong feature. My Asus Z8 inexplicably died last June, but with automatic backup turned on for my Google account.

        When I restored the Google backup to my new phone (Mi 13), andun lahat ng apps, along with my wallpaper+lock screen image, pati yung placing ng icons nakuha.

        Yung Tachiyomi extensions+history ko lang ang nawala T_T

        It probably has one, but to be honest, I haven’t really explored much of it, mostly out of suspicion.

        The Xiaomi native apps are actually the first to go on my phone when I debloated it, and so my fear is that once I upgrade it, those will be restored. Xiaomi makes good phones, but their aps are notorious for being infested with advertisements everywhere.

        I’ll probably have to look more into this–which is another reason why tinatamad ako, lol!

      MIUI EU to the rescue. Less bloat.

      You just need to backup ypur phone data first, unlock bootloader, and install the ROM either from PC or phone. I prefer installing/updating my device through PC. Salpak lang ang device na naka-bootloader, run the script from zipped ROM file, and done.

      My device is Redmi Note 11.

        Hey!‌ I remember you! You gave me a similar advice before.

        Thanks for the reminder to look into that. This is probably the best time to get to that (after I’m done with my weekend stuff).

            Oh yeah!! That mention of MIUI EU brought me back when you were having a similar problem, if I‌ am remembering things right.
