I've seen many posts regarding this and no permanent solutions.... aside from an Indian solution which requires root.
Is there actually a solution to this? Or do they just not care?
To replicate... Open the themes app after clearing cache or force closing it, it will show English text for a very short period, then it will switch go Chinese (every single time)

This is not a solution! (Be aware of it)
Some other Chinese brands have lines in the build.prop that distinguishes between global and Chinese firmware.
So all you have to do is compare a Global and Chinese build.prop (you get it from the system.img) and try to find a difference.
Dunno if it works, but if you are desperate with a lot of time, give it a shot.
But you can't edit the build.prop without root access

I have the Mi 5 + root, so that's no problem. And you can get it too. (Just boot into TWRP and sideload SuperSU on an unlocked phone.)
I've tried changing all locale related entries in the build.prop and I'm still stuck with Chinese language in themes app.
It appears this bug has been ongoing for a lonnnnng time and I think they just don't give a damn.

Point to note this fixed in the Global ROM but we lose the ability to use paid themes and I'm quite sure our theme choices in general are less.

Hello,
I just bought a mi5 today and I can't log into snapchat. Whenever I type my username and password it says that the login temporarily failed. I have my Google account set up and synced. I also don't have root.
Have you guys had any problems like that? Or any idea I can try?
Thanks!
Yes, I have fix this issue by change the permission from google application.
Cannot post screen (New user restriction...)
Could you be more specific? I think I granted all the permissions to Google Apps...
LE: I downloaded more apps from Google and made sure that every one of them has all permissions. Thank you!

Also make sure that the Mi App Store doesn't have access to any form of data connection or it will try to update your apps... ?

Did you make sure the Mi App Store doesn't have access to data of any type? Cause if it does it will "update" your apps.

If it doesn't work, consider flashing the global rom.
You don't have xposed installed do you? Also why bother posting a thread without a logcat. Without the proper testing done your issue would be due to it just being a piece of junk.
can anyone help solving the snapchat issue.. it says tempory failed but thats coming ever since i got the phone.

Snapchat is now looking for both root and xposed and refuses to work if either is installed.
Working with root, had to uninstall xposed framework and it worked. Will try to install framework again and see if its still works. Will try to install rootcloak.
Edit: Snapchat working now after first logging in then install xposed framework latest update and then reboot, still works as promised.
Is posible use magisk to fix overly restrictive SELinux filesystem permissions in Android Nougat and Oreo
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37091475
Well this is crap!!!
This is exactly like if Windows would deny end users permission to Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer! It is laughable! It is unacceptable! I'm absolutely shocked that this is where Android has gone now. It's getting worse. Since API level 26 (Android O, to be released) you cannot even access any more /prop/stat of your own process. In addition https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html#getRunningServices(int) is being deprecated. Hereafter there is no way to know anything about any process running on a device.

If you find wich system file(s) are to be eddited, we could setup an Magisk module, assuming that the file(s) is/are located in the system part.
The file(s) path(s) aren't present by your link.

NFC Screen Off
Read NFC tags when screen is off.
Disable NFC tagging sound.
Tap to pay when screen is off.
ALWAYS include Magisk installation logs when posting an issue.
Useful integrations: NFC Card Emulator Pro - Tasker
Installation metrics: Grafana dashboard
How does it work?
The NFC app is patched during installation into a `modded` version. This `modded` version is injected at boot time by service.sh so that the phone thinks the screen is always on and unlocked.
This patch only applies to NFC Service so it does not impact any other functionality of the phone that involves screen state detection.
The `modded` app was generated using this method.
Help section
MY NFC IS NOT DETECTED ANYMORE
If you did not unlock your device since last boot, unlock it and wait 30 seconds for the module to be loaded.
After that time, if NFC does not start automatically or manually, it means that the patch does not work for your device. You can uninstall the module and create an issue.
I AM STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP
Remove the module manually.
1. Boot into TWRP
1. Advanced -> File Manager
1. Delete /adb/modules/NFCScreenOff
1. Reboot
THE MODULE IS NOT WORKING SINCE LAST UPDATE
Perform a clean reinstallation.
1. Uninstall the module
1. Reboot
1. Install the module
1. Reboot
If it does not solve your problem, you can create an issue.
I LIKE THE MODULE
Only for rooted devices ok?

Not yet. It's on the To-Do list.
Thanks for enabling this option.
It may not necessarily be a bad thing that it breaks safety net.
Enabling mobile payments while phone is locked is NOT a good idea. Your phone will be vulnerable to money theft with some special NFC devices. They can get close to your phone while it is in your pocket or purse and that is enough for them to steal your money.

Yes it should continue to work normally with Google Pay.
What I meant in the description of the module is:
For now, it only works for reading NFC tags. For payments in stores, the phone still needs to be at least on. If the module is working for tags but breaks your payments, leave a comment.
Is it the case for you? The module works for NFC tags but the payments are broken?
What are your specs (device, rom, android version)?

Exactly. I tried paying but nothing happens, like if nfc didn't exists on my phone. I desinstalled the module and I could pay again. Paying is more important than reading nfc tags for me !

I will do a version for people with NxpNfcNci app (I guess it is OnePlus customized NfcService).
My stock Xiaomi ROM had a NQNfcNci app.

Not the same guy, but also using Oneplus. It installed successfully but doesn't seem to be working.
Is it possible to modify the installation script to account for ncinfc with other names? For instance on the Razer phone 2 it is named NQNFCnci so the script can't find it

From what I understand from feedbacks, the apk app can have several names:
NfcNci
NQNfcNci
NpxNfcNci
Those names do not depend of the device but depend of the ROM.
Two apk with the same name will in fact be different. They are very related to the framework of the ROM.
Loading an APK from another ROM even if it is the same Android version will have little chance to work.
I cannot detect all the specs of the device. Magisk only gives me the Android SDK Version that's all.
I could make an apk for every ROM.
2 possibilities:
- Zip framework.apk + (NQ/Npx)NfcNci.apk, send it to a server. The server will return a custom apk just for your ROM. This is the one that Magisk will use.
- Build the custom APK directly on the phone, but I cannot find how to run apktools, jarsigner, etc on Android (because there is no JAVA env on Android)

Yes I extracted the zip and modified the customize/service.sh scripts to properly work with my rom and as you stated it did not work. as soon as the script killed the nfc service it triggered a reboot to recovery.
I PM'd you a gdrive link to the stock apk's from the razer phone 2 Pi stock rom. If you have some time would please build it for me? I tried to do it myself a while ago but ran out of steam before i even got all the dependencies running on my computer lol. I can modify your magisk package to work with it myself.
I like your idea of a server that automatically runs the process to patch the apk. Would every use need to upload both the framework.apk and nfcnci or just the nfc? The only concern I would have is bandwithd as the framework apk is 30+ MB's. If you could build the server into a docker container I think it would be easy enough for others to host you could probably find some people willing to host it for free. Another option could be using a google drive account to allow people to upload the apk's for their phone then batch process them all and sort them by model/build # or something to cover most phones/roms . I have a gapps for business account with unlimited storage I could probably lend for this purpose
Once again thanks for all your work! If you have a bitcoin address i'd like to buy you a beer
I know the "disable miu optimizations" trick but that ain't a good idea, and i can install a third party Always On Display app from the Playstore, but with the latter the fingerprintscanner doesn't function well when unlocking the device so a no go either.
Any other workarounds to get rid of that ridiculous 10 second limitation from Xiaomi other than installing a custom rom?
If i knew this in advance i would have never bought this phone.

If the apps come from the play store, it should be safe.
Some apps need specific permissions to work.
It's just the security on the Xiaomi that blocks while on other brands these authorizations are automatically granted.

Hi, I found this magisk module on Mods center Telegram channel (which yes, needs to be rooted)
This basically removes the 10s limit. Don't have any screenshot but should work in the latest MIUI 13 since the module was made recently (posted on September 15 in the channel)
PS: Never tested it myself on stock ROM
