is there a difference? should there be a preference from one way or another?
I would assume the most secure way would be via the mi store.
Thanks! Should get my mi later!

I think every new Mi Mix owner should initially experience their Mix before rooting.
I had mine a week before I decided to root.
I downloaded from the Mi store and installed the store, framework, calendar, etc that let's you use the G Apps. After a few days you'll decide if you find the Mi ads, and permission requests merit flashing TWRP, Rooting and installing another ROM. I'm currently on the EU Rom and the Mix is amazing once appropraitely rooted and optimized

Hi
I am on China Dev rom, how is the EU rom different, besides no Mi apps and default Google apps? Seems a big task to root and go EU so not really sure. And I guess, when Nougat arrives, it would first come to this China Dev rom.

What is the actual need of installing a custom ROM for a MI Note Pro device outside of China for a basic user. Does the original ROM provided by Xiaomi not stable one, I believe the Google services can be installed in the original ROM itself. Does the inbuilt ROM not support English within MIUI skin.
Appreciate the feedback
Regards,
Nibin
I have been using the original rom since last August and managed to install all Google services. So far very stable and have not experienced anything wrong. It does support English.
So I don't see any reason you must use a custom rom, but because android is an open platform and the fun part is to modify things to make it more "you" so people like to have options to install custom rom.
That's my 2 cents, and yes, I am Chinese and I do have other xiaomi devices so I don't mind the Chinese apps, xiaomi accounts, etc that pre-installed on the device. If I were a nonchinese user, I would probably just move those in a folder called "not used" and forget about them.
I use the Chinese rom and yes it does support English and works really well the only thing with modified rom you will get is probably improved GPS and thats about it

UK too, I had GPS problems like once but the reason for that was miui update. So instead of downgrading I installed a modded rom and it fixed it

Hi Mr. Kahun
I see you are an experienced user of Mi Note Pro
I have received my Mi Note Pro for few days.
I dont have root and I can not install TWRP on my phone due to the phone had been upgraded to 7.1.5 and 6.1.29 before I got this phone
I researched some forum that 6.1.7 can be rooted. I managed to install on 6.1.7 Chinese Dev Rom via Updater. But it does not root
Can you share me something that I can root my phone
Thank you

Hi,
I just got my Mi Pad 4 plus today.
Unfortunately there is no Google play store installed and there does not seem to be any way to change the language settings beyond Chinese, Indian and English so far.
I know it is a fairly new product, but is there already some kind of global/international rom?
PS: I saw an article somewhere that it should be able to display Netflix in 1080p. Will that change with an open Bootloader or the use of a global rom?
Best regards
Chris

Greetings,
As far as I'm concerned there is no official Global ROM for the Mi Pad 4 Plus.
But, you should ask on the Mi Pad 4 Plus Forum here, since Forum is only for Mi Pad 4.

Ty, I already flagged my Thread for moving, haven't seen the Thread for the Mi Pad 4 Plus.
Actually it will receive the global rom! I was looking for answers and read that the mi pad 4 and 4 plus share the same ROM. So in my opinion I will try to flash the global variant of the mi pad 4.
Global rom / flash / warranty

Have you got any sources, that it will receive the global rom?
I am kind of nervous flashing the mipad 4 global ROM. Since the Mi pad 4 Plus would be a gift, i don't want to lose its warranty claim.
while waiting for the official global ROM, you can just side load apps to have Google services run on your Mi pad 4 plus.
and side-loading google apps will not terminate your warranty, since it doesn't require you to unlock bootloader or root
im planning to buy one but have read it does not support hd in streaming services such as netflix.. is there any way that it could be fixed by installing a global rom or something? kinda disappointing tbh

Xiaomi.eu made a global rom
I'll try that as soon as they are willing to let me unlock my device. Not my first from Xiaomi but having to wait 30 days seems to be new...

@Edwin184 but it does not support hd right?
@jupcan,
Don't know how I can check for sure. However I have a standard HD account and if I play in Ultra HD it seems to work fine.
Now I'm running the MIUI 10 Global Beta and sometimes its buggy with the power management for however reason and when I return to the homescreen from watching streams in Amazon prime, netflix and so on.. For sure these are not critical problems and its useable as a daily driver. ??
It's unlocked and rooted with magisk, there are no issues with the fingerprint or faceunlock. And I frosted some draining and anoying applications.
Thanks to the site I found the MIUI 10 rom, TWRP, magisk and the flash Guide. God bless you xiaomi.eu ??

As you can read in the thread - yes.
Interestingly enough...I just got the 4 Plus from an Chinese eBay seller. Great! I started it up. I booted right to the lock screen (no password/lock on it), a quick swipe and it opened up and was running. Hmmmmm.... And it's running MIUI 10.1.1.0 (ODJCNFI). It looks like the box was opened up as there's no security tape at all on it, and then updated and put on a shelf until I bought it.
Looks like tonight I get to see if https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad-4-plus/how-to/guide-mi-pad-4-plus-lineageos-15-1-t3893264 will work for me =D
I'm sick of this buggy Android one "experience". I wanna flash a custom Rom but guess how many exist for the A2. 0 Roms exist. None. I know I should be patient, but it doesn't even seem like there will be official lineage os for this phone. Are there no developers for this phone? (outside of the hex kernel developer, thanks for developing the kernel!) It sucks that all the attention was taken away from the A2 by the Poco.
Edit: I'm not fond of the idea of converting to 6x.

Just out of curiosity, If you want so much a custom ROM, why don't you develop It yourself? Don't you think it's a bit too much to complain that no one took their free time and knolowedge to make your free roms?
That are so many people complaining that I'm seriously thinking of developing one and charging for It. How much would you pay for It?
Stock rom is full of bugs. Also it is not pure android it has some hidden bloatware (mi store etc).

Good question. I have no experience in rom developing or any kind of developing. I guess it does sound a bit selfish. But it's just that this is a nice phone and it doesn't have much development. Heck even my ZTE Blade V6 and Huawei p9 lite had more rom development.
I've never considered how much I'd spend on a rom. So I don't really have an answer.

For the MIA1 we have had to wait around 1 year for official lineage and around 8 month for unofficial version...
It will come for the A2, but not today.

same here, I will wait for that day to come... I already unlocked bootloader (not fastboot unlock critical).. my earliest plan is to change to treble rom... but since it's pretty buggy here and there based on the comments that I've read , I canceled my plan and will wait for official pie update,or official custom rom such as lineage, arrow os or resurrection remix to come to our device, I will appreciate it ?

Caping isn't a bloatware, it's a preinstalled app on phones planned to be sold on taiwan market.
It isn't preinstalled in all phones, you can read this in the thread about this.
No need to install a 3rd party launcher, for example I use easyshortcut maker to explore inside my phone.
Usually people buy android one phones because they don't want custom roms I guess. They want stock Android

Look at how much development the mi a1 got tho.
Just a quick question. Isn't there loads of ROMs for this device or why is there a whole section about it named Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development ?

Read the thread and you'll find the answer.
In short, no, there are none A2 specific ROMs in that thread and only one custom kernel. Others require you to convert to 6X or are Treble ROMs.
since mi a2 has project treble support, so why not you visit project treble thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
Before official pie comes to a2, I managed to try pixel experience, aosp extended and arrow os from that thread..
Any ROMs for Xiaomi Mi UD version ？？？
What you mean? Mi UD = Under Display fingerprint??
If that's so, then I believe that all roms for MI 8 will work fine.
But as always, make a Nandroid Backup before you make any changes to your phone. Always better safe, than sorry

I have been using Xiaomi.eu rooms for quite a while and never had any issues with them. Google Play Services are already included with it.
But I reckon you haven't done any research before, have you? Besides that, here in the MI 8 forum, you will have a fixed topic on Roms,Kernels and Development regarding most of the roms available for the device.
Title. I flashed another rom on another phone a while ago and unlocking it was relatively easy, but I read here that you need to *request* unlocking for the mi max 2 via your Mi Account. Is all that necessary to install havoc? another question I have is how similar is it to miui? Can you use the Themes app? or is it just gone then? I just don't know if I should go through aaaaaaaall the process just to jump to Android 9. I just wanna play a game that requires Android 9+, and the device currently shows as incompatible cause miui 11 is 7.1.1 based.

Yes you need to request unlock permission from Xiaomi to unlock bootloader and you would have to use your Mi Account. Havoc os is Aosp based rom so there isn't Themes app but you can use substratum for theming. And there are 2 other files you need to flash along with rom - quick charge fix and in call volume fix. If you are doing it just for a game, i don't recommend. Also the unlocking permission will take a couple of days. Plus the audio in pie roms is crackling in some roms so you will have to use Viper or Dolby and tune the settings for better audio.
