Google apps dark mode missing

Hi guys,
Got the phone on Friday and loving it.
The only thing annoying me as that I can't find the night mode in developer settings to be able to darken all the Google apps (as per this tutorial https://9to5google.com/2018/12/17/android-dark-mode-theme-pie/ ).
Is this something the P30 Pro isn't capable of, or am I missing a setting?
Also, does anyone know how to get any other dark apps? Or successfully rooted and used substratum?
Cheers.

That only works for pixels, oneplus, other stock android like phones. You can get dark google feed with the lates Nova launcher beta + google companion app.

Damn. Was really looking forward to having dark apps without having to mess about too much! Guess I'll look into rooting temporarily.

The wait might take awhile

Ah well, guess I'll just have to play the waiting game. I've used dark apps for years, so I don't like the brightness of the phone right now, but it's a minor issue, and hopefully temporary. With any luck Huawei will enable it with an update...

Google Recorder app works?

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of getting Poco X3 however I feel in love with Google Recorder app on my Pixel 2 and as a student, it's hard to live without all the audio AI transcription magic. I know previously Google Recorder transcript option didn't work on MIUI 11 devices. Does it work with Poco's MIUI 12?
Much appreciated if somebody can confirm it.
Best regards,

I'm on MIUI global 12.0.2
Not supported in PlayStore, tried from ApkMirror and the unofficial one from AndroidFileHost both found here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/download-latest-google-recorder-app-android/
And they both crash

Thanks @bacitoto. Good to know. Have you tried the newest version of the apk? I've seen that some older, unofficial versions are are more likely to work on non-Pixel devices such as version 0.5.257343194 (gosh, what a version number).

Well it didn't crash when I clikced record, but it can't record anything:
time stuck at 0:00 and can't pause, have to go back to stop recording and can't play the recording either

Ok. And most importantly, the transcribe feature doesn't work, right? Well, thanks a bunch. If there only would be a way to mod the app to work...

Transcribe also doesn't work.
I'll try and find a working version, because this is actually a really cool app/feature. If not we'll need to wait for custom roms

Yeah, it's magically the way it works. I mean, anything that you listen to: complicated lecture, zoom meeting at work etc becomes instantly transcribed and searchable. This app is pure gold. Especially now with the endless Zoom calls. Instead of having to take notes and later reviewing recordings u really can get all the info u want right away. The app works very well even with people speaking with heavy accents etc
This article explains the issue with MIUI:
"Android software without significant modifications to the TextView component in the Android framework. It seems that the Google Recorder app fails to work properly on certain devices because those devices are running software with modifications to TextView."

It works flawlessly with RR Rom

Question Mi 11 Ultra China Rom

Just got my mi 11 ultra China Rom....installing google play store is easy etc.
But one weird thing....all my past google purchase is forgotten. Asking me to re purchase them all again. ????
Why?

Really? That's very weird.
I suppose you logged in using your Google account that had purchased everything, right ?

I suppose so...but it's not happening. LoL first time I encounter such issue.....

Maibe check the app google play store ( and google related ) permissions ( allow everything ) .
Also check if you have the other google related services installed ( framework , play services etc ) i know that google relies on several services in order to work ok.
Will try to post on Monday if i encounter any issues on my china variant.
Cheers !

Installed Google Service last night and pretty sure it's still asking me to repurchase before I hit the bed.....but this morning...vola !! everything back to norm, no longer ask me to repurchase.
Thanks

Do you intend to keep the Chinese firmware or flash to the global?

So far I don't have problems with China rom. Only one small thing with notification on the rear screen ( not showing all tough enabled ) but it works in other rims so must be something from my side..
Until I encounter serios issues, will not flash anything else

Did you run any debloat scripts or anything yet?

absolutely nothing yet, just uninstalled several Chinese apps from the xiaomi china store app .
Will see if i have any issues in the future and consider it

Have you already tested google pay?
Some people say it is working normal with the chinese version and other say it won't work.
I am a little bit confused because of that..

Is there anyway to disable the Chinese assistant stuff in miui launcher ?
I don't want to break anything yet or I might not be able to finish unlock and flash global rom

Tap and hold the home screen , settting, disable vault and search tap

Anyone tried using android auto? Didn't work for me

That worked quite well! There is no Chinese search engine or vault anymore!
Is it possible to put Google now on the miui launder where the Chinese vault used to be ?(swipe left from home screen)

Question MIUI 13 Global/Android 12 What the hell happened to all the features?

I finally got the MIUI 13/Android 12 global release on my Mi 11 a few days ago and I am quite frankly disappointed. What happened to all the features they announced? The new widgets are no where to be found, battery life feels worse or at the very least not improved -though I gotta test it more- the new super wall papers aren't around and even the new font for crying out loud isn't included.
So my question is whether this is just a temporary release that will get updated to include these things in the future or not? and if so then when?. Also, what is the european version like for those who have it, do y'all got the same missing features or not?

As far as I'm aware this is a release for pilot testers, I'm sure if you look at the telegram message on the release it says that.

Hmmm it does say its for pilot testers.....I never signed up for the pilot program though so I do not understand why I received the update then.

My error it was the partial release, I got the pilot testers release away last month but some testers phones bricked so I thought it was a new release for testers.

The new widgets are coming, I would suggest just use Xiaomi eu or MMX which are based on latest weeklies. I'm running latest Eu and I have all the widgets and battery also is doing better. There's an option under developer settings "suspend execution for cache apps" according to a post that I read it helps with battery I have been testing it out as of now to see if it does. Anyways latest EU or MMx are by far very stable with few bugs for a weekly, with all the new functions. (MMX has the new control center style but that is easily done by just updating the control center APK.)

I have heard that the missing features will be added in the global version of Miui 13.1, but I do not know how much is true and when it would happen.
They have officially released eea version 13.0.1 and 13.0.4 which is very close to global. So far I'm disappointed, lots of bugs. Very old bugs.

On top of that, DND feature has gotten all broken after miui 13 global update. I heard same problem is with Redmi Note 10 series after the update. DND mode doesnt silent notifications at all so whats the use of it then? Cant put it overall on silent mode as important calls are at times needed to be picked whereas notifications can be put to rest. Used to be working great in 12.5 but not anymore. Hope they fix it in MI11 soon. Secondly some apps which previously turned on dark mode due to dark mode enabled are again gone white so another bug. Cant find force dark mode option in developers option too so helpless in that regard... Hope someone in Xiaomi software team takes note of this as these are both annoying bugs

You have to enable app vault, once in app vault download the widgets and from then app vault screen drag them to the other screens.

Hi,
I assume that on MIUI 13/Android 12 they have locked even MORE the fact that you CAN NO use another Launcher and make the Navigation buttons disappear.
Is that correct ? Or is there a "simple" workaround for that ?
Because I have installed DerpFerst (which is now discontinued) just to be able to :
1°) use the launcher of my choice (as I do not like the iOsish ways of the MIUI Launcher)
2°) use my own gestures and use the full screen without any naviagation bar.
If that can be done in MIUI again, I may switch to MIU (or Xiaomi.eu) again...
If anyone knows, I'd be interested in the answer.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I've searched the Magisk modules that were available online from the Magisk menu but haven't found one that is called "Hide Naviagation Bar (Xiaomi)".
Can you tell me where I can find it ?

Question Installing Indonesia ROM with NFC on Globlal model without NFC.

Is there a problem if I install Indonesian ROM with NFC on Globlal model without NFC?
Will the phone get hard pricked or something?
P.S I change ROMs using miflashtool.

The phone will not die, but you will have problems with the software, such as not recognizing the camera after taking a picture, the flashlight does not work, you can not change the Hz of the screen ...
This happened with Xiaomi.eu a long time ago, since they use the base ROM for spesn (the NFC variant) and had not made the necessary modifications to work in spes (the non-NFC variant).

I did it. And nothing bad will happen. What NeoSDAP says about the camera is bullsh*t, the camera works fine.
Look out the thread I created about the process and the result:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-it-safe-to-flash-indonesian-rom-over-a-global-rom.4534777/
Don't install the version with Android 12, I tried it some time ago it's messed up: weird default configurations and options missed. I saw there's an update for it, that probably fixed that but still, do it under your own risk.
I'm still using the lastest Indonesian ROM with Android 11. Except for the fact that apps like Netflix can't be downloaded from the Play Store because of the lack of Play Protect certification, everything else works like a charm. For apps you can't download from the Play Store like Netflix, you can download them from sites like APKPure and they work, so it's not really a problem either.
Good luck.

It also has the Mi Calendar app instead of Google's and the Mi Browser (besides Chrome). It also has the "App Vault" option for the left screen (-1 says the Launcher), not only Google Discover like the Global ROM. And the best thing about it for me it's that it's an official ROM. It's not a custom ROM that who knows what the hell was modified in it. I've using it for months and everything works fine.

NFC is hardware dependent. If your phone doesn't have the required hardware, NFC won't work. This is similar to FM radio.
I wouldn't suggest flashing ROM for another region on your phone, especially if your bootloader is locked. If you unlock your bootloader, it will give you a lot of flexibility and ability to troubleshoot problems.

So, you hate the apps just because they're from Xiaomi?? Why did you buy a Xiaomi phone then?? If you love Google so much, you should've bought a Pixel phone.
