It is normal to me.
I can connect and use mine using MiNote.
Try to reset your lamp, disconnect power cable, turn on with powet button pressioned, after try to connect the app again.
Hey guys.
First, really thanx for your good work on it.
I didn't understand this "Blurred statusbar and notification shade"
My status bar still the same on "official" one ROM.
I really didnt like the new status bar on Miui 8 and if this was blurred would be great!
I have MiNote.
Thanx!
