    1. Hi Rushiraj Pagoti,
      Thanks for writing here. MIUI 8 Stable does not release by Xiaomi as of now (August 23, 2016 8:42 PM). Soon you receive OTA update of MIUI 8 Stable.
      Maybe your friend uses MIUI developer ROM. So he receives Developer ROM updates which are based on MIUI 8.

    1. Hi Nitesh,
      Sorry for the inconvenience you faced. As I described in the article Second Space function not work in Redmi Note 4G. because of hardware limitation.
      But soon you enjoy Second space function when Xiaomi fixes this issue in next coming updates.
      As of now, you can’t use Dual space function in your Redmi Note 4G.
      Kind Regards

    1. Hi Faiz Khan,
      Thanks for writing here. As of now Second space feature not available in Redmi 1S. There are fewer chances in future for second space in Redmi 1S. We can only wait if Xiaomi provides second Space feature in Redmi 1S too.
      Kind Regards

    1. hi Kishore,
      Sorry for the delay in the response. For main space please enter the main pattern which you set during pattern set.
