Buying the phone - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I am planning to purchase this phone in australia, and am wondering a couple of things:
1. Is there anything actually wrong with the chinese rom, and can I use everything just like on the international rom
2. Does anyone have any experience with purchasing from eglobal, as that is where I am buying it from (I am in Australia)
3. Can I set the chinese roms default language to English
4. Is there a way to hide the bloatware that comes on the device
5. Is there the potential to brick my device by flashing the rom to the international version
Thanks, all help is appriciated

There are some sellers here in the UK that flash an English ROM including Play Store before shipping. I don't know if that's possible in Australia from your chosen seller.
The problem with setting things to English (rather than flashing English ROM) is that some stuff will inevitably still show in Chinese.

Flashing A Original Rom

Hello everyone! First, I must say I have read the Wiki, used the search button, but didn't seem to find a correct answer to my question.
I just bought an Htc Diamond, but the language is dutch (I live in Belgium, where dutch and french are the two officials languages). It's not really bothering me, but I wanted to know if I can flash directly from HTC-website the original HTC Rom in French?
I know you guys prefer cooked roms, (I will try it at one point or another) but I just want to begin with something official.
Also, for doing this, do I need something special? (HardSPL, new radio?).
Thank you for your time.
Regards.
i dont think you can cos the country and carrier id is different! may be some one can confirm that!
The country is the same (Belgium, with two different official languages, Dutch and French).
So I think you can give it a try, but only in case you find a French official ROM for Belgium.
If there isn't any, maybe HTC made it partially unlocked so that it tolerates flashing of French ROM from France.
Otherwise, I don't see how people who buy a Diamond in French speaking area of Belgium would do.
In the worst case: Although there is no specific ROM for French speaking Belgian, HTC has locked the phone enough to avoid language switch (which doesn't make much sense), you will need to flash a hard spl first in order to CID unlock your device.
Thanks for you replies.
In case it doesn't work, all I have to do is HardSPL it, and then put the official French ROM from HTC.fr?

Is there any compatible international rom for ATT note 3 SM-N900A?

Hi, I bought a note 3 for my mom, and since she only speaks Chinese, so I need to flash the rom.
I installed a international version on the phone and it worked with some flaws.
First of all, the wifi doesn't work properly. I have to manually setup the wifi every time I leave my house.
And the google instant translate doesn't work says "instant translate isn't available on this device". Seems to be the problem with the rom. It is working properly on stock rom. I switched to stock rom and tested it. It is working fine.
So, I am just wondering if anybody knows any clean rom with Chinese language in it. And if possibly it is compatible with google translate's instant translate function.
I understand that I can enable more languages using apps, but it doesnt change the system language. So I need a rom that includes Chinese.
Thank you very much.

Question How to add new language on Chinese version ?

Hello,
I use Chinese version (not the multi) and i would like to change language but impossible to add new language (French).
Someone know how to add language staying on official rom ?
Thanks in advance.
Need to flash Global Rom
or when you want the EU
My wife bought also Ultra 11 and I don't want to use non official TWRP (except if i'm wrong) and i don't want to update Rom for her all the time
You can always flash stock Chinese if you sell. This will remove any twrp or other files.
If you flash Global, updates are as regular as stable EU ROM, so nothing extra after first change. If you really want french, you have little options
