Ads starting to pop up on my Redmi Pro, help! - Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
I need help with a Redmi Pro (not pro 3), which I bought in the Philippines (it was pretty legit and sealed, but the global rom was installed by default by God knows who...), and now I am starting to get random pop up ads like the one in the screencap bellow, giving me the disappointing feeling that my phone is a freebie...
Now I'm starting to even wonder if my personal information and privacy in the apps I use is compromised. Should I?
Please point me in the right direction to get rid of this, even if this means whipping the phone and re-installing a new clean rom. I am a total newbie with Android, I come from iPhone where this kind of practice is just inconceivable. But I use computers a lot and hopefully I can understand your explanations.
Thank you so much.

You havent official rom , its a distributor rom , I suggest you to install a new rom.
but You can try three ways
1-Delete the app that cause the ad popup (if it doesnt work try step 2)
2-Format the phone (if this dont work either try step 3)
3-Install official firmware or xiaomi.eu rom

Good (splashscreen) idea for changing your SplashScreen

Yesterday I was browsing the Wizard area of the XDA FTP server and I bumped into a file called SplashscreenStuff.zip
So I downloaded it, read the ReadMe file and thought, this looks kinda easy, let's see if it's possible to change my SplashScreen (on a 2.18 Qtek Rom).
So I opened Photoshop looked at some existing splashscreen's and adjusted one to make it "my own".
The funny thing is, this SplashScreen can be useful if your device gets stolen (it is shown about 20 seconds on start-up on my device).
Take a look at it and if someone is interested in the Photoshop file, to adjust it to make it yours, feel free to leave a message here and I will make sure you get all the files you need.

Anti theft tattoo ?
I would really like to know if this can really work as a anti-theft strategy. At worst, the "finder" of the device can flash a new ROM, can't he? Is there any really anti-theft strategy?
the picture is not displayed!!! why??
How can I make my own splashscreen?
try this thread
The tools are old, and they have been ported to ROM-kitchens also, but they do work.

Tnx developers
These geniuses are working on it. LINK
PS: You made me puke a little though
as said prior to my post, it's being worked on, though there will inevitably be some problems.
Dont forget that with the Apple community the need to unlock is much greater than here (no unlock required to access the system etc) and so you will most likely find a lack of interest by developers to add applications into this software as the Windows Mobile operating system hasn't really changed much in the sense that it has always allowed for custom apps and tweaking etc, much like Windows.
Other than that, i hope it really does do well because i think it could be a great addition if enough developers get on to it and use it :L)
In kaiser forum someone relased a ROM called T.I.R., this ROM has embedded a Pocket Download Manager that does exactly this!
Maybe someone could ask there.
Ciao, Andrea

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, with missing link it looks really weird Sorry for that, it's fixed now
One thing I have to say - you really depend on many customization options... totally different type of usage if compared to what I expect from my Z3C.
I only use stock apps, stock launcher and no serious mods except some Xposed ones which are essential for me to use my phone daily.
Maybe it's because it was always difficult for me to set up everything and I had no time to test different setups... I'm that kind of lazy guy
Anyway I don't really have too much to say about your setup but you provided nice description of your apps and settings!
'Cause I was bored waiting for the next beta of MM, I decided to implement your suggestions. You're right, these make for a nice Android experience on my Z3c. I'm curious to see what effect there is on battery.

Keyboard Glitch/Broken after Rooting/Flashfyre

Hi guys,
I have a fresh S7 SM-G930V(Android 6.0.1). Which i logged in via google and it downloaded all my previous apps on my old phone(i assume it automatically does)
I was following https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
And now my keyboard is now starting to look weird

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I completed all the steps and rooted to the following image "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR (any Samsung Galaxy S7) (MD5 hash 948A01ECCF280828DFD13AC366F6FE85)"
and used Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy.zip as opposed to the other odin.
Any ideas besides using another keyboard app?
EDIT: Just flashed back to G930VVRU4API3, which i thought was my stock rom but has a purpleish first time start up which i thought should be blueish?
Going to try and re-flash a root after work again.
UPDATE2: I Follow the rooting/xposed steps again and now i got my normal keyboard back. The difference is that the verizon startup is white/red while when i first ever used the phone it was a blueish/purple verizon start up. But i feel that it was definitely 6.0.1 with PI3.
Accessing the phone via cable seems extremely slow but thats for another thread...
I am now rooted with a working keyboard, now time to work on the other issues....

i need serious help with my FIG-LX3

i'm trying to restore my device with the original rom, but i can't find it ANYWHERE, and whenever i use official server links (the ones with hicloud address) it shows one of two things: a white screen saying "an error occured" or the browser shows an error

}
i even tried using erecovery and hisuite but no luck whasoever, erecovery says "package info error" and hisuite says i'm on the latest version (i'm not, i'm using an emui 8 rom for ARGC771 model that isn't working well with mine, i'm looking for the one from the C771 model), not to mention that the firmware finder app is completely useless now
i had recovered my phone back to normal after unlocking its bootloader and flashing a custom rom into it, but that was like 2 or 3 years ago, but now idk where to find the firmwares i need, i'm doomed...
i need a way to return my phone back to normal... i appreciate if you guys can help me, thank you
here are my phone's exact model:
FIG-LX3 C771
Vendor: entel_cl
