i'm on v0.21 and it reports that the latest is 0.26

 

tempted to try it out... but i have a feeling that a root patch will be available for this version in a couple of days if i do that :)

I think it's a bug. I have 021 version on my phone and in system updates it shows that 021 is the last version.

 

Look at your desktop/Menu in apps there is a icon named wireless update. Check it. My Coolpad shows that 026 version is released :)

It's in desktop/ Wireless update/check update

Cannot find on mine which is running 015, maybe ota was introduced on a later version??

Funny, I don't have any of those options (wireless update / about phone>system updates) ???

Just tested MIUI:

 

http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-420493-1-1.html

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3DnVed    pass:6v0w

Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

It looks OK with one major fail: GPS doesn't work.

So I restored my original 015 build with nandroid backup made previously. :)

 

Used GPS several times on MIUI from http://en.miui.com/download-208.html (2 developers,tried both fine, XS one has more options in Stock settings I think  - both need /etc/firmware copying into the zip before flashing for wcdma, maybe that helps gps ?)

Nayparm, you mean to copy everything from my original rom /etc/firmware folder to

MIUI zip file, where it should overwrite MIUI's files and folders?

 

Nothing else?

 

 

P.S. could someone post a screenshot of upgrade option. I can't find it. Really :D

 

P.P.S.

 

Pletko - no root again? :p

no root, no change. the rom is still half chinese and the most annoying thing - the only app i actually BOUGHT from the market (swiftkey) i cannot use since the bloody rom uninstalls it on its own and forces me to use their keyboard... getting REALLY annoyed here...

Tried that Odd Rabbit root?

It is Odd, so it nicely fits in with your luck, I guess :D
