All I know is that there is a ton of crapware on my Xiaomi Note that I bought from some random AliBaba shop based in Hong Kong. I often get random pops up prompting to install some apps, and 99.99% I cancel them, but every now and then I accidentally hit okay. In short, I consider the device fully p0wn3d. Not that said, you can flash the device with a clean MIUI build directly from Xiaomi, which is probably the best bet, or even, re-flash it with Cyanogen. -- Nathan of Guardian [email protected] _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
