It probably requires Google Play services. You may want to flash the global rom/miui.eu rom.

I've just tried this on my Chinese rom device with Play Store installed and it does install Google Play services.
The error when opening Google Lens translates to "This app is not yet included in the app store".
[Edit Solved]
It's trying to open the Google app to install from the Play Store.
Install the Google app and it works.

Does the Chinese ROM have Google Password Manager?

Hi there!
I was wondering if the Chinese variant (without google services) has Google Password Manager.
If not, will it come when installing Google Play services on the device or do you have to have the global rom for it?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to order the Mi 10 Pro Chinese version ($150 cheaper). I know I can install Google services on it, but it's unclear to me if the Password Manager is also being installed.
*I know Xiaomi has it's own password manager but I prefer to use Google's.
**The reason I'm asking here is because you guys have more experience than the Mi 10 forum.
Thanks!

If you install the google services (from the miui app store), you will get the Google password manager. To enable it after that, go to the settings, manage passwords, and you will be able to enable the Google manager if I remember, because I left the china version of miui.

Question Restore from Google Backup

Apologies if this has been answered already - I've searched and not found an answer.
I've just received my China version; having installed Google Play, is there any way to force a restore of a Google backup of my previous phone - it would be so much easier if it could (re)install my apps and settings in one go. I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Thanks

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think restoring from Google backups is only possible during the initial configuration. And China ROM doesn't have Google Play 'out of the box', it needs to be installed by the user. So I'm afraid it's not possible. But again, I could be wrong.
I would recommend unlocking the bootloader and flashing either the Global ROM or Xiaomi.EU. Preferably Xiaomi.EU because Global ROM is significantly behind with updates.

I couldn't test it but if you have installed google playstore and the google app basic android should be available. Then you can "restart" the inital setup via adb command:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity
That should run the google setupwizard. I can't try it as I have already .eu rom on my phone installed and there it is available from scratch.

Brilliant, thank you. I will try that this evening, after I've got through the debloating

If it doesn't, I only need to last as long as installing another ROM, but of course have to wait a week for that to occur!

As it happens I just tried it and got an error message:
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity} does not exist.
If that means anything to you and if there's an easy answer, I'd be grateful for the help. If not, don't worry

Ah - this is what I was afraid off. With installing google playstore the google setup is still missing. You could try the Android Setup Wizard from Google from APK mirror. This should install the missing files. But I really can't confirm that this will work. In worst case you need to do a factory reset. Or you just install the .eu rom and all problems gone .

That got a bit further - i got this output:

But then nothing else happened!

Damn. So it is missing something more. Then I'm out of options to be honest. Maybe someone else has an additional idea how to get around that. Or you really think about switiching to .eu rom. Sorry.

Thanks so much for your help - it was certainly worth a try! I'll wait for the bootloader to be unlocked

use Xiaomi's mi mover app on the play store and you install it on both the previous phone and the new one, it will move everything over for you. I have been using the built-in migration app for all my phones, and they work just as well as google backup

Thanks very much - that is the solution. I had tried to use Mi Mover before using Google backup/restore but it kept failing.
The trick was – as you say – to install a fresh version from the Google play store and not to use the version which was already installed on the phone from the xiaomi App Store.
Once I did that, it worked a treat!!

i haven't had good luck with google restore....mobiletrans has been a godsend

Question Request English app center

I request english app center backed up from global rom cause i have the ch one .

I guess there's no other language version of the Lenovo App Center, since it's only for the cn market which the Play Store is unavailable.

Huh? You can officially install Google Play Store on CN version. Go to Settings > System > Google Play Services - turn on.
Then install Google Play Store apk.

Yes, but they've blocked/firewalled most of the GMS and rendering the Play Store useless within China. All of the cn phones have their own alternatives.

Kinda confusing... are you currently in China? If so, then yes, Play Store is blocked in that country.
If you are outside of China (anywhere in the world) and using CN ROM, there is NO issue with using GMS and Play Store after installing the necessary Google apps. It is not bloked/firewalled whatsoever without the need to convert to Global ROM.

Motorola is generous in including the GMS. Even then there are some services still prohibited/missing from the phone like voice matching and android auto, which cannot be simply solved by installing apks.

The voice matching is not working because Motorola installed their own voice assistant (LeVoice) using the hotword "hello moto".
I can simply install Android Auto apk and it works flawlessly.

Hey there
When you say andorid auto works flawlessly, did you need to root the device? I have the x30 pro cn version and i have android auto install but never worked. I get the error 22 because the android auto is not a system app. Did you do anything for it to work? Or just installed the app?

I will get back on you regarding this. I need to try it out first. At first I thought the installation part is your issue.

Np. The app gets installed but not as a system app. Wondering if there is a way to install it as a system app without rooting that will be great.
