    MIUI 6 looks cool! Hopefully some of us get it today OTA but if not, hopefully we can flash it manually

    There will be no OTA update from MIUIv5 to MIUIv6, so install it only manually via updater-menu-select installation zip...

    My Mi3 just got an OTA for 4.8.29; thought it wasn't getting another MIUI v5 OTA.

    I see the menu button is basically a "recent apps" button now and the menu buttons are within the app now like in the top right corner for Chrome like with the nexus

    Went into Updater, checked for updates, it popped up as a new update, downloaded it from there and bobs your uncle!

    Starting to like it the more I use it

    Strapped on a pair and updated, looks lovely, much more free RAM. But the menu button is now recent apps instead, bah!

    How do I edit the home screen? Long press on the recent apps button isn't bringing up a menu.

    Is 16gb enough for the Mi3? I know this isn't the general thread but its all people who own one...I won't have music or videos on it, a few small games to tick me over when on the move, but I generally have quite a few apps and I run out of 8gb in no time. Normally have an SD card so can manage

    16gb is perfectly fine for me anyway!

    How much space is allocated to apps and what is general storage? Realised there's over 100euro in the difference...so now I may slip back to 16gb

    The mi3 has a single partition, so whatever storage is left after the system reserve can be used for anything.
