Last year, I worked on MIUI 7 for the Infinix X551 and this year with the release of MIUI 8, I present to you MIUI 8 v6.6.30 China Developer Rom for the HOT NOTE based on Kitkat kernel. There has been a big change in the MIUI appearance and performance as you will experience after installing this rom. I have tested the rom and everything is working and thus can be used as a daily driver.
