time to reveal the chinks my deepest secrets

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

guys

does xiaomi still have that bullshit unlocking system where you need to email them to ask permission for rooting your phone?

yes

but not for the mi a1

mi a1 is unlocked?

neat

looks like I know what I'm getting, thanks

It's android one so yeah

mi a1 is not unlocked

but you can unlock it easily

it's just a switch in settings iirc

doesn't even wipe data

also lock in my car broke

replaced it with a chink one for €30

everything works (electronics too)

it just makes more noise than the OEM one

and also takes more force to close the door now

fair enough

I'll get it to replace my dying OPO and install LOS on it

@Millwood just because it's android one doesn't mean it will have an unlocked bootloader - see Nokia's lineup for 2018: Everything is Android One but none of them are unlockable (yet, anyway)

>yet

>nokia

Huh, really? I didn't expet that

@Goz3rr optimistic

xiaomi releasing kernel sources day one is more likely

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

>only LOS release for the A1 is unofficial

@Millwood yup, Android One has no relation to bootloader unlocking, at all. it's only about how the OS that the phone ships with works - no bloat, speedy updates etc

@Deleted User if you want a phone with excellent LOS track record, Redmi Note 4x

basically I'm looking for a xiaomi phone with type-C and good LOS support

looked at the Note 4X but there's no type-C

yeah, biggest downside of the 4x is the micro usb

looks like I'm sticking with my OPO until it finally dies

if you make a charge back report on paypal and the store dosent respond do you get your money back?

yeah.

So since I bought the charger, any good chink rechargeable AAs?

yes

Ikea ladda whites
