Admin got tired of it

Hey, would you guys recommend flashing or rooting a redmi 4a to get rid of the bloaty stock rom?

I asked in the /csg/ thread because I have literally no idea what to do here, whether I should stick with the phone as it is (stock) or try to set up a new OS

or rom, or whatever it's called

@haso do you see bad side-effects doing so

?

I honestly don't know, I'm just afraid to permanently brick my phone or something

just remember to backup

But since i'm completely clueless in that regard (its my first android device ever), that could be unjustified

current gen phones are quite hard to permanently brick

from my experience

good to hear. so there's always some kind of underlying system that the phone falls back on when the ROM is uninstalled?

most of them have

samsungs have specialy good one at that

im searching about the 4A and seems like flashing it is hit or miss

getting all the chinkshit off my redmi 3 pro was enough for me to just avoid xaomi

what a pain in the dick

huh, thats precisely the opposite of what I was hoping

isn't it just about uninstalling the MIUI and installing a pure android instead?

or is some of that shit hardwired into the phone?

unlocking is pretty draconian

you have to write an email in mandarin asking for permission to unlock

wat

took like three weeks

yes

how

i dont speak chinese
