    • Has anyone been able to get approval from Xiaomi Community app for unlocking the bootloader?

    Jump

  • Not sure what is the "Xiaomi Community app".
    I unlocked mine Xiaomi using "Mi Unlock" app for Windows.

    It worked at the first try, but I needed to download app with newer version than offered on official page.

    Next step, installing new ROM via sideload.
    I needed to flash low lever firmware with newer version.

    Next, a sideload, without problems.

            grep '' /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler

  • Isn't a surgeon's "HUD" a killer app?

    It's probably a good product, but in niche applications, not for the masses.
