Omni is the fast and snappy but lacks customization
If you want customization you can try AOKP or Cm10.2

Try factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If the problem still persist, flash back stock rom with odin. After you have a fully working phone, then you can start looking for other rom. Now, you need to get your phone fully working again. Stop worrying about other custom rom. That can come later.

No, Omni does not see sim contact. You should export it in phone app before. You can flash stock JB now again and I suggest you to connect your contacts to google account.

I think all stock based ROMs see sim contacts. I am not sure about CMs. You can do that. But you can import contacts from sim to phone on stock, then export it in file - after that import in Omni. You have import/export option when you open dialer.

Just flash stock firmware using odin. You don't need to flash gapps if you flash stock. Then you can export your contacts to external sd (it will be saved as a .vcf file). Or you can sync your contacts to google. It will be automatically restored after you logged in on Omni ir any other rom. But I suggest you do both. Just in case.

Hi !
What's happen if I re-flash ROM (VivoKat) over current (the same) without doing full wipe ? Only system files will be replace ? I just want to restore system files.

Yes. Should you run into any problems, don't report them. Only report the problem AFTER doing a clean flash and seeing if problem persists.

Mi3 has two system partions where ROMs can be installed. ROMs can be installed on both the partitions. In case of AOSP ROMs, they need to be installed on system 1 only & u can have miui (or even empty) partition in system 2.

When I use google play with wifi it's everything ok,but when I use my 3g data,it doesn't download my app ,it show waiting for wifi, but I check download without wifi and same..why?
Hi there,
I asked this question before, but last time I got some confusing answers with regards to needing root.
The problem: My phone is slowing down and I want to wipe it completely (no system/app data left over) and restore it to factory defaults, preferably running 5.1.1.
What's the best/easiest way to do this? Will flashing the new firmware clear everything the way I want? I don't want to root, unlock the bootloader or lose the DRM keys, just a standard wipe.
On a firmware note, does anyone know where I can get Bell Canada 5.1.1 firmware?
Thanks a lot!
Foaric
Download FlashTool and there is XperiFirm to download the firmware you need
Just flash it, and you start from stock
I think just a standard factory reset should do this.

Great! So flashing will clear all the system/user data while leaving the DRM data intact? I'm looking to do it so that there's nothing left over to slow down the phone.
Thanks,

The DRM are loosing only when you want to unlock your bootloader
But as mcgrathpatj said, try a factory reset in first
Hello everyone! I am sorry if this is somewhere already been told but I could not find it..
I am buying Xiaomi Mi5, sealed box, with some Chinese ROM so I would need to flash some global ROM. As I am told the bootloader is open. What are my next steps?
1. Install TWRP?
2. Then install ROM?
Are there any instructions on how to do that? I have done that on my previous LG but that was long ago so I dont remember any more.
If you could help I would very much appreciate it!

sealed box = bootloader closed
1- Update to latest chinese dev rom, download from miui site and install through updater
2- open bootloader through MIUI tool, search online for it
3- install TWRP through cmd
4- I think you can now install non-miui roms, but personally I just wiped data and installed supersu and used the miui rom
I believe that it comes with open bootloader.
Installation through cmd is the same for any device? Is there any tutorial about it?
I just bought Mi 5 with China ROM (my first Xiaomi device). I was planning to install Global ROM but decided to give the China ROM a go. installed the MIUI v8 update, removed some unwanted Chinese apps, and installed Google stuff. Actually works very well and loving it so far. No issues at all. I recommend you give it a go if you want.
Otherwise I suggest you read these two threads on the official MIUI forums. Should give you the basics and all you need to install the Global ROM.

i dont understand why you ask for answer, receive, but not the one you hoped and still saying its open..?
Since 1 year Miui only ships locked bootloaders, so when sealed its 100% locked.
Just try unlock through app/website: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
for tutorials, there are plenty on miui forum site, or here on xda
Good luck

first you need update to last miui version (stable or dev not problem at all) then unlock (bootloader) your device, after that download global fastboot rom, and flash using XiaoMiFlash.
but, before you flash to global. i want tell you 1 thing. this is my opinion,
Global rom is suck! rom base Chinese is great much more better on audio, camera and etc, except the rom only have 2 language chines and english, and you need manualy install gapps.
on my preference MIUI official rom is, China dev -> China Stable -> Global Dev -> Global Stable.
i don't know if this is related, but since we don't have sd card slot we have to leave the internal storage unwiped. And I like to wipe the entire phone when i flash a new rom. So my question is how do you wipe the internal storage and still have the files required to flash rom?

internal storage is not a single partition, the bootloader and recovery are in separate partitions and don't get wiped. What is deleted when you choose to wipe internal storage is only system, data, cache and (emulated) sdcard.

The first SMS with the code should be quick (you already have it, i understand).
The second is in most cases within a few hours, but officially can be up to 10 days.
After you received the SMS with permissions, you can try to unlock, but if that does not work, wait 24 hours (i had to wait a day before the permissions were 'connected' to my Mi account).
