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?

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
Hi All
Has anyone got this working on the Mi 11 Ultra?
I've been playing with it for a while. You get part way through the introduction and get a generic error message saying it doesn't work:
"unfortunately this app is not working"
It would be nice if the eror message contained a permission request that had been denied so you could diagnose the issue, but no.
So far I've given it every permission I can see, but still the same problem.
I'm running Chinese ROM Stable 12.5.7
Thanks
Steve
I flashed Eu Rom weekly and it works with no problems. China Rom is just so problematic. I think it will always be unless Xiaomi decides to optimise it for people outside China.

The Chinese ROM doesn't have full GMS framework, so the covid and some other Google apps won't work fully. If you want them, flash the Global or EEA ROM but your best option to keep the best of all the ROMs is to flash the official Xiaomi EU ROM.
Hi both
Thanks for your replies. Time to unlock and root my new phone then!

The EU ROM is approved by Xiaomi Europe and is based on stock updates, stable and weekly beta versions. But yes, via twrp install and format data on first install due to partition differences between them

I thought the Eu ROM was the only "unofficial" one in the world
But this is the first xiaomi device I've ever owned or modified
Yes I mean Xioami EU rom. I believe it's based on the China ROM, but much improved. I installed a few of them on my old Note 10 Pro and they worked well.
After a battle with settings and Xiaomi's Mi Unlock, I've started the boot unlock process so Thursday next week I should be cooked.
The bit that got me was there are 2 settings you need to enable in Developer Options, namely:
USB Debugging
USB Debugging (SecuritySettings)
OEM Unlocking
Without these set, Mi Unlock displays nothing, yes nada.
First port of call after rooting and flashing for me will be checking out camera2 api. I'd like to use 3rd party camera apps with all lenses.
Then hopefully the NHS Covid app will work.

You are in fastboot mode when starting your unlock? Also try a different cable if you were. Many issues with some usb cables not, for some reason, working fully.
Lucky you.... Be glad it doesn't work.... Don't promote these Chinese surveillance apps...
On the snooping side, the firts app I load on a new phone is no root firewall:
NoRoot Firewall - Apps on Google Play
Firewall WITHOUT ROOT. Host name name filtering, fine-grained access control.
play.google.com
By default, it blocks everything so you have to check it and manually enable apps to pass through it, keeping in mind, some apps might not work at first.
If an app is trying to contact a server in China via a secure port (443) it's blocked. I recently bought a Chinese printer and the driver wanted location data and tried SSL to China so that was blocked lol.
Well after much jiggery pokery I now have the weekly EU ROM installed and the UK Covid app is working fine.
On the China ROM.....
==============
You get to a point in the setup and get some generic error message saying it might be a work phone.
On the EU ROM
===========
At the same point as above, it asks you for permissions and exposure notifications. You grant them and it carries on and works fine.
I emailed the developers about the issue and with XDA users help, have provided more info ie that it doen't work on China ROM.

The UK covid app uses Google framework services. The Chinese stock ROM does not have Google (I think I'm right in saying that it's still band from mobiles) , the mini version is non standard and an unofficial add on. The same applies to location history, this does not work on the mini GM's that's added when the phone is exported.
The Xiaomi global and EEA versions have it built in as stock as they are for export markets.
I hope you have some luck but I doubt Google services will be allowed on Chinese ROMs for a long time yet but at least the suppliers put something on us to get started with.
Hi interesting info thanks I love these forums
hi guys ,
At last i ordered my mi 11 pro from china , and i want to prepare my self to the steps ill have to take in order to replace the chinese rom to eu.rom + "twrp"+ Saftynet Passed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1 .
please help me understand if these are the neccessary steps ill have to take :
1. unlock the device with xiaomi tool
2. instal the "twrp"
3. flashing the eu.rom
am i right ?
thnx
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

Is it unbearable?
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.
hello guys
i just bought the redmi note 10 pro and it's working just fine, but my friend told me that the EU ROM is much better and it has more features on it.
which one is better global or EU ROM?
I use the xiaomi.eu rom. It does have more features and is less bloated.

This. What they do basically is take chinese ROMs and remove all the useless bloatware, the ads in the system apps and keep the extra features ; there's a permanent AOD, native super wallpapers and more

But this is with root right? I use a lot of finance and trading on my phone, how secure and safe are those roms?
Now i have stock EEA firmware, they go by GDPR and EU rules. No ads and you will need to accept a prompt on every instance where they would collect data. I like this only problems EEA gets updates a bit slower.

You don't have to root your phone to use xiaomi.eu. it does pass safety net and my banking app works.

Actually root is not required. Only requirement is unlocked bootloader. On android devices only trusted apps should be granted root then most of your financial/trading apps will be safe. Because other user apps won't be able to access financial app's data which haven't been granted root permission.
Hello everyone,
I want to know if there is a custom rom that is compatible with nfc to pay contactless with your phone.
But also, if this rom exists, is it compatible with android auto and voice control with google assistant.
or to keep all the options and possibilities of the phone, can I install a stock rom (my phone is locked to miu 12.5 version by my operator!) but for that I have to root and unlock the phone?
Sorry if the answer is in the foeum but I did not find in the various presentations of the roms or so I misread!
Thanks in advance for your
Isn't working NFC in ROMs pretty much the norm? Google Pay might be a bit stubborn to work in some due to SafetyNet/root complications, but should be possible to get it working most of the time.
Thank you for your answer.
I don't quite understand your first sentence, I'm not a good English speaker!!
Do you mean that now custom roms are all compatible with nfc and therefore the possibility of paying with it?
Whether with the application of his bank?
Because my bank is not compatible with Google pay!

Arrow os and pixel experience working for me, the only downside miui camera not there.
Best answer is try rom your self maybe work for me but not for you.
But if I unlock my phone, do I risk losing options like nfc permanently or can I go back?
I adhere to this request.
I tested AOSP Extended, Arrow OS, Evolution X, crDroid, in their android 11 and 12 respective versions, but in none of them I was able to make NFC work on this phone. Some of them have the NFC menu on the configuration menu and some not, but the result is always the same: I get "NFC failed" error or similar when an app needs to access the NFC device.
Before unlocking the device and installing custom ROMs, I did install the latest update of MIUI, based on android 12 (less than a month ago) to make sure I have the latest firmware installed, though I don't seem to find a way to check the current FW version without MIUI installed.
Also, I did check that NFC was working (on MIUI) before installing any custom ROM, so I know for certain it's not a hardware problem.
If I find a solution to this issue, I'll post here. Let me know if you find anything.
BR,
GH

Hmm, that is very unfortunate.
Since the Note 10 Pro has been out for a while, I guess that means there is nothing to be done about it?
Edit: However, statements by others seem to imply that NFC should be working, so maybe there is something your missing?

Nobe with this device, although some companies like Apple and Samsung do that.

My xiaomi is a global.
It seems to me to risk doing these manipulations to then lose the nfc and no longer be able to go back!
Hello, I also have the global Note 10 Pro, I am currently testing different ROMs but none of them show up or I can enable NFC, which is strange since I have seen reviews on YT where they can, I can only use NFC when I install any version from MIUI, I wanted to know if you know any news on this topic

I have been testing various roms (crDroid, PixelOS, projectElixir, evolution-X, ...) before using now, since more than a month, lineageOS 20 as daily driver.
I never met the problem you are mentioning.
I would also suggest, as someone else has just done, that you make a clean installation.

I have investigated on the subject and apparently my model "M2101K6R" has problems with the roms, but the only one that works for me is Lineage OS, and the strangest thing is that this rom automatically changes my device to "M2101K6G" and that's why NFC works for me in that rom
