TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) Recovery is gaining lot of fans lately. Loaded with more features and nice ones too. It is much more user friendly because of the big touch screen buttons. And can perform all the essential and advanced recovery tasks like install custom ROM, backup & restore system… With lot of features like MTP support, Mouse support via USB OTG… Do check out TWRP official website for all of the features. So what are we waiting for? Let’s install TWRP 2.8 on Xiaomi Redmi 1S.
Chrome Remote Desktop for Android
Yeah… You can access your computer from your Android device securely with Chrome Remote Desktop now. Not to limit yourself on Chrome browser or Chromebook anymore. Access Windows and Mac OS with your Android smartphone and tablet. Too bad, it is not available on Malaysia yet. Anyway, just try it out to find out that it work for you or not. Remember to install Chrome Remote Desktop app from Chrome Web Store on your computer first.
How to root Redmi 1S?
Root access is a must have for Android devices. That’s what I always say. Xiaomi Android device has root access natively actually. However, it is disabled on stable ROM (enabled on beta ROM). Same apply to Xiaomi Redmi 1S. Just load the Security application, then go to Permission. You will find out that Root permission tab is grey out. Luckily, we can re-enable the root access back on stable ROM. And it is very easy to do so.
Xiaomi Redmi 1S User Guide
There is only a very simple quick start guide bundled along with Xiaomi Redmi 1S. No user manual can be found on the Mi Malaysia website too. Same apply to official Xiaomi China website. No worry, there is a pre-installed user guide in the smartphone. Mine was deleted and cannot be recovered due to a bug (will cover this in the future) in latest Malaysia ROM v36. Seem like the user guide is not in the ROM at all. Anyway, you can find lot of guides in MIUI Forum.
This is why you should not buy Samsung Galaxy S5
Why? Samsung Galaxy S5 model with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and a 5.2″ QHD (1440×2560) screen is coming out soon. Should arrive before iPhone 6 like July time frame. You will have better Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. This is what Galaxy S5 should be. Not the current one, right?
