Xiaomi phone M1 development?

Does anyone know if there would be some development for the Xiaomi M1 phone due to be released soon?
Looks like a great 2nd device and very capable! Would be awesome if it was running icecream sandwich in the future

Nice device if its $319 + shipping worldwide

It looks like a good phone, but it doesn't have any built-in storage (aka internal SD)

it does just they have not announced how much probably less than 8gb

I look forward to it, it looks awesome and its tech specs are much better even than Galaxy S II.

Internel memory? 512/ 1gb would be ok minimum cas I think miui has a2sd built in to their roms, not sure though

MIUI is based off of CM7, so yes, it has APPS2SD.

it's relatively cheap in such spec, consider to get one when it's out

4GB ROM, not shipping with a uSD card. Can support up to 32Gb uSD card. I actually prefer it not coming with a card rather paying an extra $40 or so for a crappy class 2 card to ship with it.

it can support 64gb card, if you format it in ntfs

[Q] Make camera save to internal storage

Is this possible?

More than likely not considering all your internal space is for apps.

I am sure it is that but i also think we would have to have the bootloader unlocked to do that too. A better idea would be to just get a bigger microSD card. I am sure a 32 gb class 10 card would be more than enough to hold music and photos.

I'm using a 32 10 Doesn't mean it's enough!

4GB internal storage for user apps is a big waste.

Class 10 sometimes won't play nice with these phones. The sweet spot is class 6. And yea, maybe someday we will be able to use it but I doubt it. That would mean that after the bootloader is unlocked (if ever) that devs would need to take on the project and many people are already leaving this phone behind.

Installing app bigger than SD

Hello there, I would like to know if it is possible to install an app which full size is bigger than your sd? In my case I want to install nova3 but my sd card is only 2gb(actually 1.8) and nova takes 2gb of space. Since the Atrix 2 installs directly to sd card is it impossibly for me to play it unless I buy a bigger sd card?
I tried to look this up but nothing showed up...
Thanks beforehand

I am joining the GS3 Crowd!

Hello,
I just wanted to say hi! I currently have a HTC EVO for sprint and was going to buy the N4....but after the N4 going out of stock in less than 20 minutes in the US today, I have decided to get the SG3 for verizon this weekend. I can't wait to buy and root! Looking forward to the SG3 and the great dev community at XDA!

Welcome! We have some great stuff going on, and JellyBean is leaking out!

Thanks! and I am looking forward to JB for sure!

welcome on board. Here are some tips before you start. Backup your IMEI and unlock the bootloader before flashing any ROMs.

Hoping to snag mine on black Friday from Sam's club. Love the dev support this phone is getting.

I honestly don't see why everyone has such a problem with no SD card slot on phones. You really need to carry so much info with you in your pocket?
That's what I have a computer for. And dropbox/Google drive.
I wish more phone makers would move away from slots and removable batteries. The phones would be more sleek and have more room for other features

I agree 100%.
I was immediately interested in this phone until I saw these two items.
I could probably live with the limited storage, but I will NEVER buy a phone with a non-removeable battery.

I can understand that, but I've actually already filled up my 32gb gs3. Even still 16gb isn't bad and I personally don't care too much about a non removable battery. However, the dna's battery sounds relatively small for the high spec guts it has plus that 1080 lcd.
That's also not to mention how bleak the prospect of development seems. Not to bash it, but the gs3 still has some pros

I'm already suffering the issues of low memory with my 16GB of space. Downloaded Need for Speed Most Wanted and that took a large chunk of space. already have other games that are taking up 7GB of space alone. then god forbid if i want to download some lossless songs from Spotify. thats almost 400MB an album. I can't put that on the SD card, unless i'm missing something in the way spotify saves music.
So Yes. I do need to carry that much info on my phone.

In a word, yes. All of my music is FLAC encoded; my 32GB S3 is totally full, and the 32GB MicroSD I have in it has about 3GB left, and that's just from about 50-100 albums. Honestly, I'd love a 128GB MicroSD right now... plus where I am 3G is unusable (40KB/s down D: ) and thus streaming makes absolutely no sense for me. No SD card slot makes any phone a no-buy for me.

Its not 16gb its really
11gb useable storage.
I just cant live with that.
GOOGLE and LG did the same thing with the Nexus 4
Conspiracy time: why put so little storage?
Maybe to force people to use PAY cloud based storage like Drive and backup assistant.
Dont forget the data charges store and access those GB of cloud data.

Games nowdays can be over a gig and I have 6gb+ of music. Not everyone wants to use the cloud to stream music and movies. Not only does it kill your battery but if you are in a bad area for signal you are SOTL. I also always have some movies on my phone for my 3 year old when we go out to dinner it keeps her calm. I have a 32gb gs3 and a 64gb card I don't have to worry about space on my phone.

exactly what i was thinking!

I should have added this: I wish phone makers would move away from SD card slots, however, give higher internal storage options.
Like I said before, I personally have no use for large storage space because I have my laptop for that. Plus my car has a built in hard drive for music and that's really the only time I listen to music. I can see how other users fill up fast, though. 128GB GS4, anyone? Lol

I believe the one I purchased is the linked one.
It was about 15,000 yen though

As long as you use FAT64 file system, you can even use 512GB SD (technically possible but it won't be available for couple of years).

Currently, I use my 64GB micro-SD card formated in FAT32. Can I format a 128GB micro-SD card in FAT32 and use it in the same way?

I didn't do any formatting to use it.
And it works.

I'd wait for a good 600x or 633x chip to come out. I did a test with 633x over the Ultra and that the 2x speed increase is great. Though backing up to SD with large apps that have been moved to SD causes a bottle neck, and cannot be resolved unless you add an OTG Thumb drive, to allow backups to the thumb drive while allowing full reads from device and external SD without need to have writes slow down the processes between reading.
