Hello,
is it possible to make the Mi 9 complete google free? I dont need the playstore and not the playservices. Its possible to delete these things from the european Rom, or should i install the chinese rom?
I would like to use MicroG instead of the real google services.
Put the chinese rom in it...
You can flash a GSI like flokorom without flashing the G-apps
I hoped to stay by the original Rom, because the camera App and the quality.
But i was expexting that it wont be so easy. Thanks for the Info anyway

You could try debloating it (removing google apps as well - via adb/root). I wouldn't install the chinease rom, except you are really into it
On the flipside you could install the chinease rom and try debloating that one. The choice is yours
yea i will try, but i read somewhere than you cant deinstall all google services like especially playservices. but i will try and report. unfortunately i still have to wait on xiaomi till i can unlook the bootloader

Hello Everyone,
My mom just got back from china and got a present for my birthday.
A p10 plus dual sim 128 gb.
The only problem is there is no google playstore and the HiApp stays in Chinese despite the fact the whole phone is in another language.
Can anyone help me step by step with these issues, please ?
I have a VKY-AL00C00B157, emui 5.1 ANDROID 7.0
Thank you very much.
Ldes.
You should wait for someone to post its google apps or you can reflash it by changing the region.
Until then use a third party marketplace
Hi, from the chinese forum the latest update to P10 seems to include google play store, which is hidden in Add Account section in settings. Maybe you can have a try in that direction?
Hi. I got the standard P10 (not the plus) 128GB dual sim Chinese model (also a birthday present!). I was able to get Google play store running by installing "GMS Installer" from the HiMarket app store included on the phone. After that you can also install Google Play Store from the HiMarket app. I think there must be at least some core google services shipped, laying dormant, in the Chinese ROMs because no rooting or flashing was necessary.
This was good enough to getting most the google related stuff (gmail, youtube, etc.) working. However there is a lot of bloat on the ROM from apps that Huawei includes in the Chinese ROM, and many of the apps (even the HiMarket app) that do not work in English. I couldn't get voice search integration working as Huawei hardcoded that to use their own HiVoice service in (and it only supports Chinese) and notifications didn't seem to be working properly either. Also the HiMarket and Google play store apps step on each others toes a bit in trying to manage updates for your installed apps. It was adequate, but it just felt all a bit tacked on rather than something that was seamlessly integrated.
So in the end I decided to rebrand and reflash the phone with a European ROM using the funky Huawei site. It's a paid service so I can't really say much more but I am sure you can find it easy. It worked well and I am glad I did as the there is far less bloat and crapware, the google integration is better and google assist is the native voice search.
Any ideas for rooting?
Yes, you can simply install Google Play Store in HiMarket. You can find all Google Apps there. If you want to sync your Google contacts, you need to install 联系人同步服务 , just copy and paste these Chinese Characters and search it in HiMarket. After installing it, you need to go to the App settings to grant all the permissions in 联系人同步服务 (Google contact sync). Everything then works fine.

A friend of mine have similar problem, have a china P10 and wants to flash a Hong Kong ROM, is it possible to do this using sites like funkyhuawei.com.
I'm sure the op's also wants to know the same answer.
Reading the forum, members are flashing the L29 rom on a L09 phones to get the dual sim function, isn't this the same.

Quite difficult, you have to install the Google Play Service in recovery mode.

Huawei phones in China already included Google Framework in it. I am using Honor V8 from China. I just install Google Play Store from HiMarket and it works without any problem.

what is the default search engine, is it baidu or google, to make it simple, can you just flash a non china rom on a phone from china.

Baidu.
You can flash a non-china ROM but not directly.... There are a few procedures required. The device needs to be rebranded and to do that you need to unlock the boot loader and install a custom recovery (TWRP), then overwrite the oeminfo partition. Then you can flash an international ROM. I used the funky Huawei method to do this.

I installed Nova Launcher. I can simply use Google search.
It seems that Mate 9 can do it. I think P10 is the same.

Hi, any chance that any VTR-AL00 owner could backup and post its oeminfo partition? (TWRP could do it easy). That is the only partition missing that stock roms do not include but are required to rebrand. AL00 models update faster than European variants (they have newer Nougat and Oreo builds at this point). There is a oeminfo collection thread in the ROM development section, but VTR-AL00 is missing.
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I'm very much interested in installing MIUI dialer and message apps in MI A2, for many reasons. Tried several apks from other phones transferred, download from apkmirror etc. But could not install any of them. Tried unlocking boot loader too.
Is there any solution to install these apps without flashing new ROMs.

well then what you need to is try to download the latest stock for "wayne"
extract it using some tools from xda that will allow you to extract the rom properly
or
ask a friend to grab it from their wayne using twrp
you need to use twrp project to put the apk files in the system app or priv-app locations since it wont work as user apk
now I'm by no means a pro but what I do know is you will need more than the only actual apks ...you will stuff like mi dialler framework because it uses a different than google ...and other stuff ..i guess if i looked long emough i could compile a list but im too lazy
i just wanted to express while it may not be impossible it is probable that it won't be easy at all

It doesn't have the google play services pre installed but, there is a really easy way to install it
Launch the Mi App Store
Search for Google
Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select this option:
Install Google Play on Xiaomi phone
Though the results will be in Chinese, you should be able to make out the Google Installer app
Select Install, then when it has downloaded tap Open
Hit the big blue circular button to begin installing the various components
You will be prompted to allow the phone to install apps from unknown sources - select Settings, toggle on the slider, then proceed with the installation
Allow any prompts for permissions that pop up

I suggest to wait longer for global or Xiaomi.EU version better than ( Chinese ) because at most xiaomi rolling it for testing before the final touch
I suggest you to keep on stock rom firmware only.
Root it with magisk. Flash it with twrp.
And everything is fine.

Hi.
I already bought the chinese 12gb-512gb version of the phone in Wondamobile.
I have now many doubts about the Chinese rom or apps as i have never used a Chinese rom.
I email wondamobile and google pay works and google services are installed.
Return the phone will be around 100$. It didn't arrive yet.
Does it have many changes or things in Chinese even if you put English?
I don't have much time to install different roms, uninstall apps or play with the settings.
What do you recommend?
I had the same variant in use with CN ROM for some time before I switched to Xiaomi.EU-ROM.
The CN ROM is OK, everything is in English so day-to-day usage is unhindered. This included GPay and full google support. Some apps like Youtube Vanced would not install without disabling MIUI Extensions, but this is an easy thing to do and set it back afterwards.
Oh, and updates are pretty regular (much faster than with the EEA/Global variants)....
So overall I would say: don't fear going with CN ROM !
Now you may ask: and why did you then change to Xiaomi.EU-ROM ? Well, its a bit more polished and adapted to western languages, also it contains a number of tweaks that make it superior for me and my usage of the phone.....

I haven't changed any rom in a phone in a very long time. Is it dificult?
I read the updates have to be done manually in the EU ROM but the whole phone or just checking yourself every now and then?
I am using the Chinese Rom since the day I got the phone (April 12), and I am more than happy with it.
Didn't need to lock the bootloader, or flash anything.
One of the best thing I don't get the annoying ADS like the other Roms. Updates are quick and no overheating or such.
Yes on other ROMS it will be Manual
It is my Daily Drive and I love it
Use the Chinese Rom for a little bit and If you find that Global or EU ROM is a must for you, then you have lots of members here who will help you install it.
GOOD LUCK
Pop over to the Xiaomi EU forum for latest ROMs and instructions, https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-11-pro-ultra-lite.211/
But a fair few post in both forums, so as posted above, there is lots of help, just ask, don't sit wondering or worrying.

Thank you very much for the help.
I think in my case as I'm not expert in any case will be to keep the Chinese to avoid "brick" the phone or mess around with the updates from EU ROM.
I was just worry i will be in a mess with the Chinese ROM. But if it's easy-ok to use in English it's fine.
Any list of bloatware or trick i have to do in the Chinese ROM as a must do?

Why do you want to root it? The EU ROM has widevine L1 and safetynet in the ROM, no need to root to get that. Root can be more of a pain to hide from banking and media DRM apps. Unless you really need to, don't.
Hiding root is super easy. EU rom is buggish I would not recommend it

I have Indian version ROM, facing bugs on Daily basis. Currently I need replace Google Dialer with Xiaomi dialer mainly for call recording and smart dialing.
Well if you don't mind a slower phone after spending 1 grand, it is ok

No, not by far. Unless you are gaming or super critical than X app loads in 6ms against 5 in global, then don't worry. I've been using EU for ages not only on this phone. The Xiaomi dialler and SMS app is so much better for dual SIM phones. Look, if you don't like it, you can always go back. No 9ne 8s forcing anyone to stay EU.
