Hi! i am very new to the xiaomi community. i have just bought a pre-owned xiaomi mi 9.
it was shipped to me via POST mail, when i opened the phone it is a xiaomi mi 9 chinese version. :crying:
i want to flash a new rom on it, and currently i am torn between the three roms.
i just want to know your opinions on these three roms in all aspects (battery life, performance, gaming etc...)
1. miui eu
2. global rom
3. RevOS
***i have seen the miui eu vs RevOS (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/revolution-os-vs-xiaomi-eu-one-recommend-t3934804) but i want to know how they are versus each other and the global rom.
how are the updates on these roms (miui eu, miui global, and revos) delivered? do i need to reflash every time? or i can just update just like a regular stock miui chinese rom? (a.k.a. by going to the settings and clicking the update button there and rebooting)
thank you. :angel::angel:
Xioami eu is the most supported rom concerning updates

how is miui eu compared to the global rom?
are there lags? or bugs? problems? can yu give me a short help please
Hello. xiaomi.eu rom is based on the beta or stable rom of china. she's stable for everyday use. it benefits from news before the global. the beta rom is translated into several languages and updated every Friday. I use it now and I prefer it overall, it is much smoother. on the other hand it is necessary the bootloader to unlock.

that is for when i am flashing the rom newly,
i am asking about when i update.
I was on global rom and battery was very bad, but beem a week on revos its very clean amd good battery.
I recommend RevOs.
I have the Global EU (NOT xiaomi.eu) and i have good battery life (over night max battery drain of 5%), its buttery smooth and no bugs. Its official by Xiaomi but i heard updates are not as frequent as the China Global. Also since Global EU is stock you can just flash that over without unlocking bootloader if i am correct. The XiaoMiTool V2 somewhere here in the forum could be helpful for you if you want to stay stock and dont want to unlock your bootloader.
Edit: Also the Global EU has Widevine L1 which you need for Netflix HD. Dont know if the pther ROMs have that.

revolution os has the same ui with the miui ? how is the electronic image stabilization working on the rev os? how about other features that miui have, does the rev os also have?
i am looking at the miui eu because it has all the features that miui global have but better. so does rev os also have that?

I don't have any ads then. Seems the Global EU doesn't have all this Chinese preloaded apps. It has some xiaomi apps which can't be deleted, but otherwise I never had any problems. I was thinking of getting the xiaomi.eu so I can have notifications visible all the time and not just when they are incoming but that's all. I guess soon xiaomi will release an update for the global eu which will add this functionality back. Honestly this Rom is already so much superior than any other Phone I used and I think I can wait a couple of months for updates instead of having to deal with bugs and updates every two weeks with the xiaomi.eu
Hi, I just installed eu 11.0.5.0 stable, and I always got camera app crashing following with other apps like security and play store.
I just want to make sure, is that issue related to miui version that i used before? I mean, maybe i need to install a specific miui version first before installing Xiaomi eu to make it run flawlessly.
Or maybe if anyone knows the best way to install Xiaomi eu, please share.
I use Mi 9T Pro Global
Thanks in advance.
yeah, check my guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543
if it helps. there's a xiaomi.eu section in post 2 and a how-to flash rom in post 1

Had you wiped clean before installing eu from stock miui?
Wide everything, and than flash.
After flashing - wipe internal storage and reboot.

I own the Mi 11 with CN ROM and have been using it in North America. I'm thinking of flashing a different ROM to see if it will be a better experience. Has anyone in my situation flashed both the Global ROM and Xiaomi.eu ROM and can give an opinion on which is better overall? I'd be interested in things like speed, battery life, Play services compatability etc.
Thanks in advance!
It basically boils down to privacy vs latest updates.
Xiaomi will phone home as much as you let it, I think the EU rom is supposed to fix that but updates take a little longer.

If you want more features use the Chinese EU ROM. Speed, battery etc will be the same.

Global is different to the Xiaomi EU one but many wrongly call the EU one global.
Xiaomi EU is based on the Chinese ROM.
Global is for outside China and has less features than Chinese and Xiaomi EU ROM.

I knew that the Global ROM (developed by Xiaomi) is meant for phones outside of China. I also understood that the Xiaomi.eu ROM is created by developers and is different (but based on) the Chinese stock ROM that shipped with the phone. I think you confused me by saying the "Chinese EU ROM" instead of "Xiaomi.eu" ROM which is what I usually see people say.
What I don't like about the Chinese stock ROM for Chinese users is that it doesn't seem to fully support all Google services and the implementation of Android 11 isn't complete (for example I don't see the Nearby Share feature).
What features does the Global ROM (created by Xiaomi for international users) lack that the Chinese ROM has? I think that as long as the Global ROM supports Google services fully I would be happy with it. If not then I guess I would flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM but it would be annoying to have to apply all updates manually.

Can't actually remember most of them but there was a few. A lot of the AI options like app pre loading etc
Xiaomi also confirmed the global Miui 12.5 update will be a "lite" version of the Chinese Miui so software will be more basic.
When I had the Mi 10 the EU version worked better than the global one with Google and notifications in general. Might of sorted that with next month's release.

Ok. Thanks for the info
I have CN ROM and had to tweak it like crazy to get rid of the China stuff and to get notifications to work. Turned off the battery saver for every app I needed notifications and enabled every option.
Now with EU ROM I didn't have to do anything like that, and have the google feed on the left. Everything is perfect with EU - well recommended.
Excuse me for jump in...I want to by Mi 11 Pro. I want Google Play, Google pay, banking aps, Netflix to work. Shell I stay on Chinese Rom or put Xiaomi.eu Rom? I am from Europe. Thanks!
Edit: Now I see it´s an old Topic :-/

I have already tried the latest stable MIUI14 from xiaomi.eu and it seemed quite alright
But I had one problem - which was rather annoying
I couldn't get my banking app to install properly. And I believe that is because the bootloader is unlocked. But my device was original CN, which I then flashed to xiaomi.eu (and locking the bootloader after that, is not recommended!)
So my question here is - if I install the Global ROM instead (which is xiaomi official, in contrary to the xiaomi.eu ROM), will I be able to lock the bootloader after flashing?

The EU ROM doesn't need to lock bootloader.
The EU ROM looks have a issue relate Google Backup.
Does anyone have the same issue?
New - Google Drive backup bug? Backup gone after reboot [updated]
[updated description below because it seems like backups dissappear after reboot] Not sure if this is from ROM or the Google Drive app. After a day or two my Google backup of my phone dissappears. Even though done successfully before and also shown in Google Drive, it dissappears after a day...
xiaomi.eu
One good reason to move to EU rom: it fixed stuff where China Rom doesn't!
For example, in China/Global ROM miui14.0.12 the AOD display will always turn itself off if it lay on a dark room for around 10 minutes. And turning off Bluetooth from android top down menu will turn off 24 hours only and not forever.
In Miui EU, this they fixed it by making it on always. Same goes to Bluetooth turning off when pressed from top drop down menu.
And many other translation jitter you can notice in China Rom if you were to restart your phone. For instance, calendar will show 1 second of Chinese before becoming english.

You can, it's the same ROM, at least for xiaomi.eu
The first thing I do when I buy a xiaomi / redmi / poco is to change my rom to xiaomi.eu. I prefer to have the mi phone and mi messages aplication and there are options that the Global rom does not have, such as super wallpapers for example.
Has ther been any issue about going back to Official Global such as Anti-Roll-Back etc.?
Didn't flash for some time and asking myself if it's still a problem...

Once you went back to the official, did you notice performance improvement? I'm on xiaomi.eu and found a couple of issues with apps and also some apps are behaving very slow. I don't remember that in the week or so that I had the stock Rom....
I assume you are already unlock bootloader. Just flash it with miflashtool (found on official website). I already tested. From Global to EU and back to Global Indonesian. #DWYOR
The regular Global is suck, dialer, message and contact using google product.

Hi! Thanks for your humble reply! I have done enough research already. I asked from the point of view 'if I can install this fastboot version' since I have a higher version of the ROM (but which is NOT Enhanced version and is also an EU ROM). So basically, can I upgrade from EU version to this enhanced version you posted?

If you change ROM branch ( move from your Xiaomi EU version to any other, EEA, Global, Stock Chinese etc etc) you MUST format data after flashing or you may find you get stuck in a boot loop until you do. This is due to possible partition differences between the ROM branches.
