Question MIUI phone, contacts and app search - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

I have swaped my broken mi 10 Ultra for a mi 11 Ultra global.
Happy so far but missing mainly 3 things from the .eu rom.
Phone app (record call etc)
Contacts app
Spotlight search (app vault)
The Google discover search when I swipe on the home screen feels really useless since I only use the search for find my rarely used apps quick.
Tried install xiaomi phone and contacts from apk mirror but they crash upon launch.
Is there any substitute for this? Or is it recommended to just unlock bootloader and then flash .eu rom?
Thanks

[MI 9T Pro] De-bloated Recorder, Notes, Gallery..

Hello fellow XDAers
Yesterday I received my MI9T Pro and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it (the most annoying thing is the fingerprint scanner not working most of the times but I will try to add better my fingerprint maybe it will work out)
So I started to de-bloat apps via Fastboot and ADB (for some reason the Xiaomi java tool does not work for me, stays in looking for devices and then just freezes), so I searched a few forums and picked a few services that I thought they were unnecessary (like mi cloud, google apps like duo and facebook and some other mi apps), and now I cannot open the Recorder, Notes and also Gallery...
Message is ''Notes keeps stopping''
Again, I read on the packages list and picked on from there, I am pretty sure I didn't deleted things named like that, so I need to install those apps again but I do not know how to do it ONLY via fastboot.
Please help :crying:

Hey, make sure that before using the (Java) tool you have enabled 'Developer Options', you can do that by going to About Phone and then tapping the build number (Miui Version) a few times, then head to additional settings, developer settings and make sure that you have 'USB Debugging' enabled.

Replace phone, contact and message apps in Mi 9T Pro with MIUI apps and use Carousel

I have an extra off topic question. If I use 10.3.3 pie for stable 81hz with global stock ROM, I don t want to use stock Google phone contact message apps, is there a way to install xiaomi phone contact and message apps and MUCH MORE IMPORTANT carousel for auto change thematic background images as per selected categories? I was used to use xiaomi.eu ROMs only for this features, but if I can install carousel and miui phone contact and messages I would solve all my problems. Thanks to everyone who will contact us.

Question EU vs. Chinese Rom

I'm still in the 7 day waiting period to unlock phone, currently on Chinese 13.0.25. Just wondering what the experience has been on this vs. the EU Rom available, is there an advantage to switch. Do Google apps come stock on the EU rom?
I definitely recommend the xiaomi.eu version over stock Chinese.
The major benefit is that Google apps are stock, allowing for a less limited android experience.
Beyond that, there's stuff like bloatware and non-english app removal. There's other stuff listed in their changelogs, but those few that I listed are the main things I cared for
The main downside is that there's no auto-updating since TWRP isn't available.
avoid chinese Rom! On EU everything works great
CN ROM does not work, notifications are delayed or never come through, no apps show on the lock screen and there's over 45 preinstalled Chinese apps. If you're planning to use Signal as your default messaging app, then don't.... I spent half a day trying to get Signal to show or notify but doesn't work. It worked perfectly in EEA Stable ROM.
The "find my phone" feature only works in China if logged in to your Xiaomi account and the Mi carrier services also only works in China so you have this useless bubble in the Control Center showing no information.
EU ROM didn't work well for me, slow and sluggish, WiFi hotspot wouldn't work, frequent Bluetooth disconnects. The EEA ROM that's just been released is best.
I didn't realize there was an EEA rom and a Global rom, i'm in Canada on the global ROM and everything is working fine.
Personally, i love Xiaomi EU and i prefer over the EEA/Global rom because on my last 2 phones (POCO F3 and Xiaomi 12 Pro) with the Stock ROM 5g signal doesn't work at all, once updated to the Xiaomi.eu ROM it recieve 5G signal everywhere. On plus you can have update first, and works better even on sh'tty app like FB, IG etc.
EU has been working flawlessly

I have found that China ROM has really bad notification problems, they do not show on lock screen, or if they do, they are delayed by hours. How can I flash Global or EU Rom? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

We don't say EU rom but EEA, to avoid confusion with Xiaomi EU rom (better than stock for CN devices).
Change stock roms(dont re lock the bootloader):https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
If you install a stock rom on a CN device, you must root and use Magisk to have the play store certified, hence the interest of Xiaomi EU roms or it is not necessary for everything to work.

are there any for mi 12 pro (zeus) /
Here are the main difference between
China ROM Vs EU Rom vs Global Rom
Tested on: Xiaomi 12s Ultra
All known issues that still persist as of June 2023 Miui 14.0.12.0:
China Rom:
1) contacts not at your contact list calling at your phone will always show Unknown Numbers at Notification toolbar
2) AOD display have no option to disable auto turn off if phone prolonged at dark room. So it will always turn off itself.
3) turning off Bluetooth from drop down top menu only turn off 24 hours. This will drive you insane.
4) if you use english, a brief 2 second of Chinese after reboot will show in apps like clock, and calendar app before changing to english. A lot of high end advance settings still have traces of chinese and broken english.
5) And a lot of bugs, crashes, stuttering where china developers never bother to fix.
6) installation of apk have extra security steps.
7) lots of chinese bloatware that cannot be removed. Advertisement in native apps like mi video. You might ask, i can always get vlc. Don't forget, native app functionality is always better because it have better latency! Vlc apk have audio delay! Go see for yourself...
8) feedback all in chinese and they don't read or entertained english complaints.
9) themes and wallpaper are all chinese uploaded community despite changing english.
10) does not support google hands free assistant. ok Google feature will be grey out under settings!!
11) smartwatches you bought globally will not work with playstore global apps. You need to download the chinese version to get it working. For example, Fossil Gen 5e will not work at playstore Wearable App but will work at getapps wearable app.
12)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
13) phone crash from app are very frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 1 hour from intensive stress testing.
14) very aggressive miui optimization that closes app even when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent.
15) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
16) system update 1 toogle. Getapps update for your mi apps. And playstore for your 3rd party ones. Can your mother learn this?
17) Torch light that turn itself off in 1 hour. Good luck hiking with it.
18) you can turn off miui optimization and toggle for pause activity in apps are present.
EU Rom:
1)You can't turn off miui optimization, so a few toggle like pause activity only available in off optimization settings. This will drive u nuts as rarely used apps will always need you to grant permission.
2)An active development team that actually fix things. E.g AOD display that stays on forever. Bluetooth that turn off forever from drop down. It will show phone number instead of unknown numbers from notification listing.
3) System update is slow.
4) if you encounter bug in default mi apps like, mi video, messaging, you will need to wait 3 months before it fix. Cause you can't update mi apps via Get apps. Only can update 3rd party apps via playstore.
5) installation of apk have less steps.
6) no bloatware. But still u can find some useless mi app like, mi coin, mi browser which cannot be removed. Advertisement in mi video is also removed, so is wise to use native apps for video because it have better latency!!
7) toxic community and developers that scrutinized your feedback from their forum. E.g their lead Igor is the most toxic developer i ever met. Their tester like gogocar are very helpful and resourceful. Lets hope the war in Russia won't affect their work in the long run if you know what i meant!
8) access to themes and wallpaper are still native chinese.
9) support google hands free assistant. Ok Google features.
10) global wearable apps found at playstore will work with your smart watches.
11)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
12) phone crash from app are not that frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 3 hour from intensive stress testing.
13) bootloader is unlocked yet the whole rom is still not as flexible as a total rooted device.
14) less aggressive miui optimization that does not closes app when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent.
15) many will choose to go EU Rom, cause at the end of the day, you will hate miui os soo much!
16) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
17) if you use adb shell command line is now screwed with multiple session that can't be reset to single session no more. There is a emulator user in your rom.
18) straight forward system update that updates all ur mi apps and playstore for your 3rd party ones.
19) Torch light that does not turn itself off.
20) developers hide a lot of features. You can't turn off miui optimization here. And pause app activity toggle is missing.
Global Rom
1) everything in english. If you switch to chinese or other languages, a brief moment of english will show after reboot.
2) contacts not at your least calling at your phone will always show Unknown Numbers at Notification toolbar
3) AOD display have no option to disable auto turn off if phone prolonged at dark room. So it will always turn off itself.
4) turning off Bluetooth from drop down top menu only turn off 24 hours. This will drive you insane.
5) themes and personalized uploads are in english also.
6) support google hands free assistant. Ok Google features.
7) wearable apps from playstore will work with most wearables.
8)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
9) phone crash from app are very frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 1 hour from intensive stress testing.
10) lots of localized global bloatware apps. Mi video is riddle with advertisement too. So you will have to find alternative app like vlc which has audio delay latency issue in movies.
11) very aggressive miui optimization that closes app even when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent
12) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
13) realtime updates from getapps and playstore.
14) Torch light that turn itself off in 1 hour. Good luck using it.
15) you can turn off miui optimization.
So in the end what can we learnt and summarize? Miui os is no doubt the worst android operating system in the market when in comparison to samsung one ui.
So which one would you choose? You should choose EU rom. Cause at the end of the day, is about functionality. 1 key difference is that EU Rom AOD display will have the option to stay on forever whereas the 2 other rom does not! This is a deal or no deal breaker when comparing operating system! So, better not buy xiaomi to begin with! End of story.

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with Huawei Watch GT2e problems

Mi 11 Ultra is my first Xiaomi mobile. Before that I used the Huawei Mate 20 Pro with the Huawei Watch GT2e. The watch worked perfectly with Huawei mobile phone, but the watch does not work so well with Xiaomi mobile.
I called customer service at Huawei and they advised me to reinstall the watch.
1. Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core) .apk
2. Huawei App Gallery .apk
3. Huawei Health from App Gallery.
I have also installed HMS core, App Gallery and Health App on Second Space.
The features that I miss are now that I can no longer turn off the mobile alarm and no longer receive alerts from Second Space at all.
Have any of you experienced similar problems?
Okay, it looks like no one understood my question. I can put it another way.
Do any of you use the Huawei Watch GT series, Xiaomi Watch series or Xiaomi Mi Band?
Do you receive alerts from the programs installed on Second Space?
I know it's not any help but I do use a GT2, LTN-B19 version but don't use second space with my 11 Ultra, so there are some of us using Huawei watches with Xiaomi phones.

Same as you
I use Second Space for job sim. I only receive notifications from the profile I was last logged in to. For example, if I used Second Space and put the phone in my pocket after use, I only receive notifications from Second Space on the phone and not from First Space. That was not the case with Huawei's mobiles. There I used to get notifications from both profiles without any problem and at the same time.

You possibly won't receive notifications from an app installed in the second (work) profile if the same app isn't installed also in the personal profile.
So install the app in the personal profile too and enable its notifications in the settings, even if your're not actually using that app in the personal profile.
This is a known workaround for the limitation in some android versions.

I have Outlook and WhatsApp in both places that I need notifications for...
I can do well without Workplace, Work Chat and other job related products.
The problem is that if I do not get notifications from Outlook and WhatsApp anymore. Then the whole meaning of dual sim and Second Space is gone and I have to use extra work mobile which is tiring to carry around.
I have two Amazon apps installed, one for personal buying and one in the work profile for business buying (2 different Amazon accounts).
I have no problem with notifications.
I run official EEA Rom v.13.0.7 on official MI 11U european phone, BTW you didn't say which is yours.

Just to joke with the acronyms... EEA is not completely corresponding to EU...
Countries in the EU and EEA
The European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) - which countries are in the EU and EEA, the single market and free movement of goods, capital, services and people
www.gov.uk
The SKAEUXM Rom is called EEA Rom.
Moreover also a Xiaomi.EU (chinese modded) Rom exists that sometimes is confusing...
BTW, I have only the Amazon app in the work profile, so unfortunately can't help with Huawei smartwatch and apps.

Question Some questions for any custom ROM users for 11 Pro / Ultra

Hi guys,
I have a Mi 11 Pro with Xiaomi.eu A13 MIUI 14 stable ROM but facing some issues so I want to switch to a pixel experience like ROM.
Can you guys check and maybe answer me this questions:
1. Is Google wallet when you added credit cards to a 2nd Google account and not to the main Google account? For me during payment process wallet app is just opening but with 1st Google profile so I can't pay.
2. Is dual apps working correct when you have also a working profile? For me i can't open links out of a dual app because getting error message that it's blocked by it administrator.
3. Notifications are working without any problem? No need to extra setting up deactivated MIUI battery settings or locking app and so on?
Thank you very much to help me with my specific questions.
Your problems will be fixed if you switch to dev. No need to set up new system.
