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
Considering a Mi11 Ultra buy, can someone tell me what the actual benefit is of flashing EU ROM? Is it a security thing, software compatibility, less bugs, etc? ie. Is it worth it or even useful to flash EU ROM these days?

Sorry if this is a stupid newbie question but EU ROM and Global are not the same, right?
When you buy from Xiaomi, you either get CN ROM or Global ROM. If I am understanding this correctly, is Global ROM the version without Chinese bloatware sold outside of China and EU ROM is a custom ROM developed independently based on Global that can be flashed onto either Global or China ROM?
In other words, is Global version out of the box like the vanilla version that EU ROM builds on top of?
So for chinese region = CHINA ROM
for EU region = EEA ROM
for India = INDIA ROM
for all other regions = GLOBAL ROM
these are official releases by Xiaomi for devices for particular regions.
And then there is Xiaomi.eu rom which is a custom ROM (not by xiaomi but by a developer from community). This Xiaomi.eu rom is based on China ROM but is made available for any mi 11 ultra user irrespective of where they live.
If you have a phone which came stock with CHINESE ROM you cannot flash EEA/INDIA/GLOBAL ROM without EDL authorization (its a development access for xiaomi service centers to flash ROMS). So as a normal user you cannot YET. But you can flash xiaomi.eu rom once you unlock the bootloader.
Link to forum thread of xiaomi.eu rom:

Save about $500 if that matters to you and get the 12/512 version instead of overpaying for 12/256
Xiaomi is supposed to be cheap lol

I tried Global and EEA on my CN phone, and had no issues with flashing them.

All I know is that it worked for me, but then so many others brick their phones just flashing EU, so it's not clear what's going on.

maybe it's cause they flashed a custom rom.. the xiaomi.eu is not exactly an official rom.
but if you flashed the EEA or IN or GLOBAL rom, it's fine?
Can you lock back the BL after you flash EEA or GLOBAL star rom?
No idea, I just wanted to see if CA worked. It didn't.

Trying to relock would brick your device
I got the mi 11 ultra from tradingshenzen with the chinese rom , unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash the EEA Rom. The device bricked and I needed the help from an EDl guy . He flashed the global ROM on it.
Can I now flash the EEA or the xiaomi.eu rom by myself on the device ?

The EU rom is basically just a debloated , optimised Chinese ROM but it flashed easily for me

Hello, I would like to update system launcher manually with the new xiaomi eu launcher from beta 22.5.11. I am using stable version now but wanted to update it to the newer version. Tried to extract it from beta fastboot rom, but got an apk file without manifest.xml so it cannot be installed. Anyone using beta and could upload the new launcher? Dont want to lose special features that arent on stock beta launcher. Thanks!
