how to ROOT this ROM (developer) ?
i am not able to root it, whereas, the same rooting method used for 7.0.9.0
 
Developer is multilanguage?? or data?

  • Stable ROMs and Developer ROMs are all made by MIUI Official
Developer ROMs are updated every week (except for special occassions like Chinese national holidays), and they will get bug fixes and new features in every update

Stable ROMs are updated once a month/two months/even longer. They don't have a regular update frequency. You could use the stable version if you are not eager to experience new features, and don't have much knowledge about flashing your phone etc.

And It is not Multilanguage ROM just English/Chinese but you can easily install Google apps so It's not much of an issue
 
So what are the extra features of the Dev rom? Is it worth flasing?
Better UI some new customization settings and haven't really seen any major bug other than notification delay some time which was in stable version aswell
 
So, if I have a tgz, whitch contains signed files, official miui rom, I can install it with SP tools, even if I have a locked bootloader? 7.0.9.0 what I have now it's horrible... My signal drops, rotation works just in some apps, in camera I can't make landscape photos, vibration I think it's on maximum. I want to get rid of this ROM version... but I don't want to brick my phone. What do you recommend? It's safe to flash this way? Can I brick it, or it will gave me error, and thats all, it will boot, in the actual rom that I have?

Tempting! I was planning to wait untill I have TWRP running (which can't take that long), but now you got me thinking .... Could you give some examples of the better ui and new customization? Thanks :)
 
Anyone can ROOT the China Developer version 5.12.10 ????
