So I seem to have done something wrong when trying to root - usually something will come up asking if I want to allow an app root access - at the moment that doesn't happen, instead it will just automatically give root to every tom, **** and harry (every app that wants it, basically)
I'm running stock MIUI - any ideas how I can add that layer of security?
Are you running developer version?

open security app>click on permission>click on root access....
Now give root permission to any apps you want..

So ive been reading the direction threads to enable sideloading but i was hoping someone could give me some examples of apps that would require this.. I get the reason so root and will be doing that in about 30 sec, but im not sure what id want to install thats not in the app store..
The only reason I would sideload is for the fonts. There is a post in the vibrant forum with 30+ font apks. I didn't enable sideloading on the phone though. I use the sideload application from android central. You don't even have to root for that.

Well for example you can install both the audio boost app and the dpi changer app made I'm the development section. You can install set cpu without buying it from the market...there's many that you will encounter if you follow this forum on your phone and wish you could install without a computer...like I wish I could

I've followed a root guide (not able to link due to account restrictions), however I am not sure whether I have rooted correctly (Superuser has been installed via the root). I'm a beginner in rooting and thought it would be straight forward (due to the number of tutorials around), but I don't know how to proceed now.
My basic objective is to install jelly bean with no issues in usage as the owner isn't very tech literate. The tutorials I have tried to follow thus far have had some steps which aren't possible in my circumstance or certain steps which aren't possible due to a change in the app.
If possible I will appreciate it if someone helps me, whether here, or on skype/teamspeak; preferably on the latters as it will speed up the process and I am quite time restricted. If possible I don't mind completely resetting the kindle to its original software and such and starting again just to be sure If I have rooted, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks in advance

Thats to Root; I've already rooted (assuming from the video when it says you can see the superuser app)
Well if you have rooted right go to your browser and search for an app called Root Checker. It does not require root. It checks to see if your rooted right. If you are not rooted right the app will say so but if you are rooted right you get a message saying "You have successfully rooted your device." Hope I helped you.

Titanium says I have rooted. Ok, what do I do now as per my requirements above?
Thanks
Ok, I've now installed the play store and disabled ads using this VERY useful tutorial (thanks prok!). Is there a similar tutorial on how to install jelly bean on it now?
Well the best rom out there right now is Unofficial CM10.1 from Hashcode. Yes, you could install a different one but Unofficial CM10.1 is currently the best in my opinion.
Im thinking buying this device. I also happen to know that the Xiaomi Mi3 forum commnunity are not organized but thats just me.
In MIUI, theres all this Security app. Antivirus app and so many apps MIUI built in to the ROM. Can it be removed? Im planning to not upgrade it to CM or AOSP but keeping MIUI except that I'd replace certain stuff with CM stuff. I think its more stable that way.

If ur on the Developer firmware and have root access, try using a root explorer (I used ES File Explorer to replace the stock Calculator with CM one...)

So, I must be in Dev Firmware to remove the bloats? Can I be in Stock ROM and remove the Mi Cloud or whataver Theme manager stuff?

U can be on stock & remove the bloatware but u need to be rooted. Try root uninstaller apps from playstore to do so

Well, as he said, you have to be rooted. So why not flash the Dev ROM (with MIUI 6!!) to get root access?? If you DONT like MIUI 6 though (still in active development hence missing loads of features) you'll have to root your stock ROM. You'll find guides in MIUI English forum. Do a Google Search. :good:
I've seen many posts regarding this and no permanent solutions.... aside from an Indian solution which requires root.
Is there actually a solution to this? Or do they just not care?
To replicate... Open the themes app after clearing cache or force closing it, it will show English text for a very short period, then it will switch go Chinese (every single time)

This is not a solution! (Be aware of it)
Some other Chinese brands have lines in the build.prop that distinguishes between global and Chinese firmware.
So all you have to do is compare a Global and Chinese build.prop (you get it from the system.img) and try to find a difference.
Dunno if it works, but if you are desperate with a lot of time, give it a shot.
But you can't edit the build.prop without root access

I have the Mi 5 + root, so that's no problem. And you can get it too. (Just boot into TWRP and sideload SuperSU on an unlocked phone.)
I've tried changing all locale related entries in the build.prop and I'm still stuck with Chinese language in themes app.
It appears this bug has been ongoing for a lonnnnng time and I think they just don't give a damn.

Point to note this fixed in the Global ROM but we lose the ability to use paid themes and I'm quite sure our theme choices in general are less.

I have seen a couple of Nougat roms out there which have App Ops built inside their Nougat custom ROM (recently the Nitrogen OS N has it). My question is is there any way to get it for Stock ROM as well? I really like this app and would love to use it on my stock ROM. If somebody has an APK for it for Nougat and can provide the link that would be great.

It's not just an apk it has to built into the whole system framework. Your not getting it on stock. But you can do similar with the stock optimizing and unoptimizing we call it Doze. Go into battery and then click the menu that's the best your getting on stock!

I'm still running mm for that exact reason (waiting for my fav services to be supported) but I'll go hit up the dev and shoot him a donation if you will...and anyone else reading this. Hopefully, he or someone is willing to work on it. I mean, Android's new permission system is hideous and and app ops is a must (to me) to be able to block certain permissions without causing apps to refuse to run because of it.

Testing out NitrogenOS 7.1.1 with app ops built in, thought you might be interested.
Sorry if this is a stupid question- but what is the point of it? Can't you manage permissions under Settings -> Apps -> *select desired app* -> Permissions? Or does this give you more control?

since mm, android's built in permissions model will cause app to refuse to run when not granted the permissions asked. With AppOps, you can grant the system level permission while denying via AppOps and the app will run while receiving empty data for the permission in question. There are a few other quirks too such as contacts and account access permissions being bundled under one switch which is some total bovine excrement if you ask me.
