Thanks. A few questions if you have a moment more. Does the Documents App work? So you can print to pdf from apps like Chrome etc Do the Accessibility Services work and persist after reboots? (Additional Settings / Accessibility / Services - for apps like Antivirus and Greenify etc) Do you...

How realistically would that work given that Xiaomi have not released kernel sources?

You are right, sharing source code would open up the possibility of Cyanogen Mod versions to extend the more secure life of Mipad 1 after Xiaomi give up on updates for it. Google need to sort out the fragmented android ecosystem. When you buy a Google device you get Android version updates for...

Its completely nothing to do with what File Explorer we prefer. The Documents app is central to the system file handling of Android it would appear as has been explained several times already. It is not a File Explorer anyway. So the fact that you and I have our own preferred user file explorers...

Well yes... that is the starting point for examining the problem on the Mipad 1. First thing you find is that you need an app with root access to enable the Documents app as it is a system app. I can do that no problem and google confirmed that other users have also used Titanium Backup or...

Aha! You can do it in GMail. I hadn't tried that. That is helpful to know. Thank you. Yes I suppose you are right I should file a bug report once I figure out how to do it. Its just that it is such an obvious problem that it would affect anyone who actually uses their Mipad 1 so I was shocked...

Solid? Interesting. I say this because there have been reports (not just my own experience) that the Documents system app (key to a lot of file handling for many apps) is frozen and with the 4.4 version for Mipad 1 cannot be remedied by unfreezing. This means that activities like sending...

Yes it was very long! You can attach files to emails you want to send using WPS Office app??! The Documents system app is key to a lot of app functionality in Miui/Android more than I ever knew. Unfortunately this app is crippled in these very early Miui 8 beta releases.This meams these early...

Thanks a lot bugmenot. I get it now that Wipe Data means wipe App Data (both System and User App). All I have to do is restore my User Apps and their data afterwards. :=)

I also use WPS Office on my MiPad (very occasionally) and also have no problems printing from it also. I can also do a lot of other things no doubt. However that is not the same as trying to attach files to emails or print browser web pages (to pdf or cloud or wherever) which was what I...

Does nobody get real problems with Documents App being crippled in Miui - particularly badly on Mipad? It has been reported on Xiaomu user site. On other devices there is a workaround involving unfreezing the App in TB or RTBPro after each reboot but on Mipad1 this doesn't work for me and as a...

Documents System App Frozen in MIUI 8 (RN2 and Mipad 1 - as of 161020 releases). Refrozen after each reboot. On RN2 unfreezing after each reboot gets back some of the old functionality e.g. attach files to emails, print web pages (though less ditectly available than before). On Mipad 1...

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50678 Is it just me but the CWM_mocha.zip file for MiPad (v1) in actual fact installs TWRP 3 which fails to mount various MiPad partitions including the sdcard. Needless to say this renders the recovery useless for MiPad anyway. (The TWRP hermes...

I don't think so. Didn't realise 644 were original permissions, I assumed they had changed when I extracted from rom zip. On this redmi note2 its 755 but I think you must be correct. Am using moborobo to export my sdcard to pc. Will try copying Updater back again afterwards later today. Seems...

How did you solve it? I tried copy back to system/app and chmod 755 but still the same! It's frustrating because behind this lock screen everything else is fine!

Yes how stupid of me.. And very well spotted by you. I was hoping to reinstall it after boot to restore proper icon... Have copied Updater to system/app using twrp file manager and chmod 755 but still get the problem. Sounds as if you might know the solution? (Else I will have to copy my...

Flashed mipad in twrp and welcome screen blocked by "Thank you Thank you for helping make MIUI better! Username Password Validate" Hangs at "Signing In" I assume it is mi.com Any ideas? Restoring Nandroid backup had no effect after ordinary factory reset.

MiPad version from fanboys link unsuccessful. Resulted in 'select home app' loop in combination with a message saying storqge space running out when MiPad has over 32GB still free. Another issue : instructions say use OTA or updater app. OTA setting seems to have gone and updater app has crept...

I found a very similar problem with Notes starting up alongside Mail and Notes immediately crashing. Before resorting to Freezing however, I used RomToolbox to clear both Data and Cache. I should have just tried deleting Cache first before Data but anyway... This has worked fine. I could have...

Thanks for pointing this out! I was lost withiut this long-press recentapp button to get settings lol :=)
