Here are TOP 10 reasons to buy Xiaomi

1. Getting arrested by police for unlocking bootloader

2. Gacha IRL (you may wake up, but your phone won't)
3. Very nice and consistent security patches (quarterly)
4. Highest commitment to security by running third party apps 24x7 (like indus app store)

8. ERROR 404

Group notes update 2025-08-27/28:
===========================



Brand new notes:


playintegrity

A small note to give a quick overview of PlayIntegrity and a link to our new group dedicated to that subject.





Updated notes:

       companion

Changed name from “fakestore” since that’s the old name/app which is now retired. Greatly expanded, added info on experimental Play functions and other support details.
        
   
diagnostics

Updated all outdated sections

Removed the section for “SafetyNet tester” and replaced with a section called “PlayIntegrity testers” since SN is deprecated now. See our new PlayIntegrity group for more details on PlayIntegrity and how to potentially improve your device’s “verdict”…


paid-apps

Completely rewritten to contain modern info on microG Companion and the details and pitfalls of using official Play Store.
  

unlp

Modified to emphasize that this feature is NO LONGER SUPPORTED on modern versions of microG. Slight cleanup.



updating

Updated the section on ROMs with bundled microG to include a few examples of ROMs which do/do not use their own unique copies of microG that cannot be updated with the public releases



why-microg-maps

Rewritten, greatly streamlined, removed UNLP references.



youtube

Rewritten/cleaned up, and now includes references to more 3rd-party YT viewing apps.





Removed notes:
