Hi guys,
im thinking to buy the phone and as i use my phone in english my questions are:
1) once i load the google apps on the redmi k20 pro there are problems with notifications in chinese rom or others issues that are not there with global version?
2) can i uninstall ALL chinese based application without root etc?
3) Overall you consider it usable globally the Chinese rom if english is the user main language ? (i know about missing b20 i don't care)
thanks.
1. I have no issues with notifications. The problem with miui is that you have to spend time customizing the notifications as some don't even show up on the lockscreen for example by default. Once you customized it to your liking it's pretty alright.
2. I've removed almost all the bloat I can just by uninstalling them. The only ones leftover are the Chinese MI apps like wallet, ai, appstore. Everything seems to be fully in English for me.
3. Yes it's considered a usable ROM to use in English. I would say the appstore is a little annoying because any links to apps won't open in play store but will open in the appstore by default.
There's also a custom version of Miui provided on xiaomi.eu that has everything in English and is pretty good as it removes even system apps that aren't needed. You'll need an unlocked bootloader for that though
When you use the Chinese Rom will you receive all official updates from Redmi via OTA no matter where you are located in the world ?

Yes, i live in indonesia. And ive received 2 ota updates so far
So I have bought a Mi 9T Pro Global ROM version and I am a bit lost on the whole official ROM versions
My current understanding of the ROMs:
Chinese version - Stock from Xiaomi, has an English mode but also has ads
Global version - ???
EU version - Custom ROM but aims to be as close to stock but without bloat and for EU userbase
EEA version - ???
Russian version - ???
India version - ???
Could anyone help me understand just what all this means and what I should ideally aim to stick with as someone living in the UK and wanting the best experience possible (No ads)

All the same structure same base miui thing just little differences
as i know china come with call recorder w/o NFC
Eu come without call recorder but with NFC
Rest i didnt test yet but i guess with some with some without
xiaomi.eu roms work in Europe and the US, as a replacement for global roms with more features (See some here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-11-14.53327/)
xiaomi.eu roms also come with TWRP pre-installed and OTA updates
Chinese ROMs come with features like call recording that may not be entirely legal in other countries, as well as ads, tracking, and a few other things
Chinese and Indian ROMs typically come on the k20 pro, which lacks the bands that the mi 9t pro has (notably bands 4 for US and 20 for EU)
EEA Rom is the stock rom for Europe, while EU rom is the xiaomi.eu modified ROM for Europe (and Global)
Global ROM is the stock for international, but xiaomi.eu ROMs work perfectly on Global as well (See https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/bt6z7b/miui_global_rom_vs_eea_rom/)
Russian runs Global but with modifications for GPS, Privacy, and Language
Living in the UK, I'd suggest using a stable Xiaomi.eu rom with Magisk, which will give you root, no bloatware and ads, optimised GPS and battery, and OTA stable updates. I'm rather new as well so check this out for info on it, it could help! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/twrp-procedure-check-t4004531)
While all of the roms run MIUI, their stability, update frequency, bloatware, bands, and language can differ slightly.

Thanks for the knowledge! Been interesting learning about them all. What I will most likely do once my device arrives is to wait for the bootloader unlock and test the EEA and if I dislike it, jump to xiaomi.eu

Good plan! Personally reason why I'm jumping straight to xiaomi.eu:
I don't think I'll DISLIKE Global, necessarily
But xiaomi.eu comes with TWRP preinstalled and root, and maintains Magisk even through OTA updates (Global/EEA removes TWRP and Magisk each time you update)
Just figured I'd share
If it's not Chinese MIUI, then Xiaomi label it as Global MIUI, as they all come with a full set of global language options.
Each version is then slightly modified for the region it is intended for. For EEA and Russia, I believe the modifications are more around complying with regulations, such as data protection, etc., rather than functional changes. For India, for this phone at least, the have replaced the stock launcher with the Poco Launcher, which has an app drawer (not sure if this is still true with MIUI 11), I guess this was in response to the popularity of the Poco F1 in India and the fact that this phone could be considered its successor there.
Xiaomi.eu are a collection of independent, volunteer developers, who make custom versions of MIUI. They've been around almost as long as Xiaomi themselves, from the days when MIUI was itself only a custom ROM, which only came in a Chinese version. The original aim was to add additional language translations. Now they add a full set of global languages, remove all ads, bloatware and non-essential apps, and add their own tweaks and customisations.
When it comes to EU, things get confusing. When it comes to naming MIUI versions, Xiaomi use 2 letter codes to distinguish the regions and use EU for Europe. Therefore you'll see people interchangeably use EU and EEA when talking about official European MIUI, this unfortunately leads to confusion as to whether people are referring to official MIUI or the unofficial xiaomi.eu ROMs

Very informative! Thank you!
First of all this is the difference i got from other thread.
CN - Chinese - Tencent Games Edition
+ Slightly Faster across the system
+ No Facebook Bloat preloaded
+ Minimal Google Bloat
+ No preloaded YouTube - Easier to install YouTube Vanced
+ WiFi is stronger (Detects more networks around you than any other device)
+ Hidden extra ROG Theme
+ Faster OTA (From ROG I History)
- Many apps still have Chinese Fonts and Content
- Dual WiFi gets disabled after reboot
- Chinese Country Name in Contacts App
- Tencent Bloatware in System
WW - International - Republic of Games Edition
+ Everything is in English
+ Gamer Profiles have more function in Armoury Crate
+ Classic Theme option at first boot which allows to select a stock-like Theme
+ More LTE bands supported compared to CN Version
- No Dual WiFi Feature
- Themes are not working
- Minor lag across the system
- Facebook Bloatware in System
- Mobile Manager App shortcut is not available on the launcher.
From what i found so far there is Already a fixed for the theme problem and fingerprint problem on WW. The only problem left is we need to manually update for the system.
I plan to order from ebay, and currently there are 2 type of different version they have. The Original CN Ver and Tencent with Global Rom.
My question is:
1. If i am mainly will be using English as the language, should i buy the CN Rom or Global Rom?
2. If there any problem with the CN Rom for google app, like google pay, banking app, and others that need a non root devices to run?
Please answer my questions and thanks

Yes it's support multi language (support English)
All Google applications work without any problems (support play store)
The major difference, the Taiwan rom come with xiaomi applications, like message , calling and contacts applications
>Is there miui calling app with call recording in Taiwan MIUI?
Playstore -> download -> CallApp -> call recording
