Hello,

I'm no programmer while I do have some PC skills... ... I was curious what's the real content of those update packages... so I used "ROM helper" to repack and extract some of the ROM updates to it's original structure...

[attachment=2831][attachment=2832]

Using "Total commander" (two window file explorer and more), its easy to compare which files have been changed or added, Notepad++ allows you to open a few things and trying to understand how this all works... well, but there is the point where my skill have its limit...

If anyone interested out of curiousity or/and skilled enough to do some "functional modifications", here are the files for downloading:

ROM helper:

Repacking to a flashable zip shouldn't be a problem too after it looks like this again: [attachment=2833]

If you're feeling very bold, you can try to port something from Mi4i. I think the biggest hurdle will be the dual battery setup. I'm guessing that's something custom in the kernel. Still, can't hurt to try. You could also try just flashing a system.img from mi4i and leave kernel and all else the same.

There are also some CM12.1 (Android 5.1) based ROMS for Mi4i. Yea, I agree it's probably not worth the time, but if someone e was bored someday and wanted to give it a shot...

Well, if you know someone who can deal with that kind of stuff, I can't... MIUI would be nice to have, wouldn't it? I'm just trying to "attract" someone who has solid skill to deal with android coding...
