Im thinking buying this device. I also happen to know that the Xiaomi Mi3 forum commnunity are not organized but thats just me.
In MIUI, theres all this Security app. Antivirus app and so many apps MIUI built in to the ROM. Can it be removed? Im planning to not upgrade it to CM or AOSP but keeping MIUI except that I'd replace certain stuff with CM stuff. I think its more stable that way.

If ur on the Developer firmware and have root access, try using a root explorer (I used ES File Explorer to replace the stock Calculator with CM one...)

So, I must be in Dev Firmware to remove the bloats? Can I be in Stock ROM and remove the Mi Cloud or whataver Theme manager stuff?
Via the Internet
U can be on stock & remove the bloatware but u need to be rooted. Try root uninstaller apps from playstore to do so

Well, as he said, you have to be rooted. So why not flash the Dev ROM (with MIUI 6!!) to get root access?? If you DONT like MIUI 6 though (still in active development hence missing loads of features) you'll have to root your stock ROM. You'll find guides in MIUI English forum. Do a Google Search. :good:

Bliss, carbon and resurrection is all cm based and aint chinese in any way (correct me if im wrong) so you might want to split those up into its own section perhaps? (just to clarify the confusion for some) Zui, flyme and lewa on the other hand is chinese all the way

It's not about whether the ROM developers are Chinese or not but rather the device tree author / builder / porter.

Hm ok, never thought any of those had chinese "influence" or however you describe it. Not that it matters for me though but just another one of those unnecessary facts. You learn something every day as they say :good:
Sorry for the slight semi offtopic-ness
@grengo Thanks for bring this roms here , which rom you prefer ?
Anyone tried any ROM?
I tried resurrection rom. it's good.
Hi
How is the resurrection ROM mobile signal,GPS, finger print??? Did you feel it's better than Cynogen??
I'm not feeling any different, GPS not tested.
rom more customization..
I will keep two days after that I'll try carbon rom
Now with a twrp image of zui, I gave it a whirl and my impressions are its quite nice, camera app is good, overall speed and responsiveness is awesome and better than COS. It needs some adjustments here n there but im gonna try and make a tweaked rom out of it without chinese apps and integrate google apps. Had problem with capacitive buttons being disabled and it was only the fingerprint button that worked with swiping, touch and push. Would like to know how to enable those. Wifi wasnt working either for me but I guess you need to flash the whole zui factory image first with qpst for it to work unless someone else has an idea?
I gave lewa OS a try aswell after this but wasnt anything for me, that was just cm12 + a skin ontop basicly so naturally wifi worked since I was originally coming from C.OS
@tndb Wifi is working for me i don't know why it is not working for U...
for on screen button you can edit build.prop file by adding some lines (Google it)
For play store on ZUI download below Play store apk, then open Youtube app it will ask for Google play services download these services..

Hey and thanks for your notes. I still cant get wifi working, tried reflashing but nothing, have you just flashed zui through twrp coming from Cyanogen without flashing zui through qpst first?
Regarding the capacitive buttons, they wont work either. Tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop and also ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0 to see if the leds would turn on but they are not working at all. Its only the middle button working.
Ive made a tweaked rom out of the zui twrp package you posted where ive removed a bunch of china apps, changed default language to english and country to US, replaced default launcher with nova launcher, integrated google play, ive also replaced the built-in recovery with breadcrust twrp.
If I could just find out why WIFI aint turning on, the toggle is deactivated and when I press it, its not moving at all. If I restore my twrp Cyanogen OS backup then wifi works just fine again but not at all on Zui. Ive seen this on other phone models when they didnt have the correct modem for example but not sure where id get a suitable one for that (if this even is the problem) and manage to activate the capacitive buttons would also be of great help
Ok had some time over this night and found a solution to get wifi working in zui. Downloaded qpst and flashed zui the official way removing all data on phone and getting all stock factory stuff in there.
Perhaps its the modem file which is the problem? Not sure how to just flash that one separately to find the cause of this issue but could be worth a try
Hi, is the fingerprint sensor working nicely with these roms?
Have discovered what. A custom ROM for the Huawei P8. Very stable, fast, many ... very many settings possible via K-settings, Root, Xposed and Viper4Android. Restart Menu (Normal Boot, Hot Reboot, Recovery Mode, Bootloader Mode)
No themes available for download for location .... China Rom. Own can be activated but.
Download: http://www.file-upload.net/download-11509701/P8_EMUI4.0_B356_Kangvip.zip.html 950MB
Almost excellent...
But, problem with contacts and Google accounts..
The two seem to be linked.
So you cant sync your google contacts?
Try flash gapps for marshmallow, however you forgot to write that media apps are in chinese and you can not change it, dialer app has chinese features and symbols in it which is annoying too
Damn, this looks good. If we could get google services working and fully English this would be perfect.
Where'd you find it by the way? There may be more hidden treasures around

You can try another android forums, but I think someone will share it with us anyway, Like this and fromFuture rom.

Does fromFuture offer something special? Except deodexing
Just to give u guys some wee insight as been on both roms lately but currently stuck with fromFuture. That KangRom is awesomness and you can customize plenty of things. This being very close to BlissRoms or many others AOSP base. Chinese aps you can easily uninstall. Chinese text eg. in the dialer you can deactivate in local build.prop by changing the CN country to EN. There's a snazzy working tutorial on Mate 8 forums called Chinese text gone with Yellow Pages. The Rom is sweet. But without google contact sync it is bad and it makes no reason to me to be using it However I didn't try any MM Gapps package though. It's got busybox built in as well as init.d support plus xposed that works with HW themes. If you are gonna flash over the 321a update you will lose Huawei Swype keyboard and get the chinese version, playstore gone. U need to pull up all the aps and place them to microsd and then push them where needed upon having this kangmod installed. Another thing is that you need to reflash SuperUser as this rom comes with KingRoot.
The fromFuture Rom is deodexed, busybox built in, SuperUser built in and is light and fast with more ram available and if you do a full wipe in twrp and flash this it will eat around 1giga and something from internal sd. But it is still an entire stock rom with no additional features. But it doesn't require those tweaks I was talking about re. the KangRom.
Huawei dont let us decompile system apks so its very diffcult to build a custom rom.
It seems kingvip have very good contacts to huawei because he is the only person in the
world who can decompile huawei system files.
Right now im rebuild the kangvip rom to a european rom with googles services and NFC.
My last build booting fine and NFC is working.

Their lollipop version has a ton of stuff including xposed but that's already on XDA.
Their marshmallow seems pretty basic so far though:
Deodexed, Busybox, Init.d support and Call Recorder
EDIT: There's another Spanish forum and nobody is complaining about no google contacts sync on either the German android-hilfe.de thread and Spanish forum which is interesting. It isn't listed as a bug either.

I would be guessing that is because they flashed MM Gapps and it worked but I personally haven't tried that yet. However fromFuture Rom works like a charm and if you wanna go to KangVipRom you can even reflash over the fromFuture and it will work. I will give it a try again to see if reflashing Gapps will do any good.
BTW, this cusrom compatible for UL00?

It's likely because you have all your contacts in. But you will not be able to sync any new. I tried to flash open gapps. The phone booted but having black screen instead of launcher. At this stage I pass this KangVip

Hello,
is it possible to make the Mi 9 complete google free? I dont need the playstore and not the playservices. Its possible to delete these things from the european Rom, or should i install the chinese rom?
I would like to use MicroG instead of the real google services.
Put the chinese rom in it...
You can flash a GSI like flokorom without flashing the G-apps
I hoped to stay by the original Rom, because the camera App and the quality.
But i was expexting that it wont be so easy. Thanks for the Info anyway

You could try debloating it (removing google apps as well - via adb/root). I wouldn't install the chinease rom, except you are really into it
On the flipside you could install the chinease rom and try debloating that one. The choice is yours
yea i will try, but i read somewhere than you cant deinstall all google services like especially playservices. but i will try and report. unfortunately i still have to wait on xiaomi till i can unlook the bootloader
Hi All
Has anyone got this working on the Mi 11 Ultra?
I've been playing with it for a while. You get part way through the introduction and get a generic error message saying it doesn't work:
"unfortunately this app is not working"
It would be nice if the eror message contained a permission request that had been denied so you could diagnose the issue, but no.
So far I've given it every permission I can see, but still the same problem.
I'm running Chinese ROM Stable 12.5.7
Thanks
Steve
I flashed Eu Rom weekly and it works with no problems. China Rom is just so problematic. I think it will always be unless Xiaomi decides to optimise it for people outside China.

The Chinese ROM doesn't have full GMS framework, so the covid and some other Google apps won't work fully. If you want them, flash the Global or EEA ROM but your best option to keep the best of all the ROMs is to flash the official Xiaomi EU ROM.
Hi both
Thanks for your replies. Time to unlock and root my new phone then!

The EU ROM is approved by Xiaomi Europe and is based on stock updates, stable and weekly beta versions. But yes, via twrp install and format data on first install due to partition differences between them

I thought the Eu ROM was the only "unofficial" one in the world
But this is the first xiaomi device I've ever owned or modified
Yes I mean Xioami EU rom. I believe it's based on the China ROM, but much improved. I installed a few of them on my old Note 10 Pro and they worked well.
After a battle with settings and Xiaomi's Mi Unlock, I've started the boot unlock process so Thursday next week I should be cooked.
The bit that got me was there are 2 settings you need to enable in Developer Options, namely:
USB Debugging
USB Debugging (SecuritySettings)
OEM Unlocking
Without these set, Mi Unlock displays nothing, yes nada.
First port of call after rooting and flashing for me will be checking out camera2 api. I'd like to use 3rd party camera apps with all lenses.
Then hopefully the NHS Covid app will work.

You are in fastboot mode when starting your unlock? Also try a different cable if you were. Many issues with some usb cables not, for some reason, working fully.
Lucky you.... Be glad it doesn't work.... Don't promote these Chinese surveillance apps...
On the snooping side, the firts app I load on a new phone is no root firewall:
NoRoot Firewall - Apps on Google Play
Firewall WITHOUT ROOT. Host name name filtering, fine-grained access control.
play.google.com
By default, it blocks everything so you have to check it and manually enable apps to pass through it, keeping in mind, some apps might not work at first.
If an app is trying to contact a server in China via a secure port (443) it's blocked. I recently bought a Chinese printer and the driver wanted location data and tried SSL to China so that was blocked lol.
Well after much jiggery pokery I now have the weekly EU ROM installed and the UK Covid app is working fine.
On the China ROM.....
==============
You get to a point in the setup and get some generic error message saying it might be a work phone.
On the EU ROM
===========
At the same point as above, it asks you for permissions and exposure notifications. You grant them and it carries on and works fine.
I emailed the developers about the issue and with XDA users help, have provided more info ie that it doen't work on China ROM.

The UK covid app uses Google framework services. The Chinese stock ROM does not have Google (I think I'm right in saying that it's still band from mobiles) , the mini version is non standard and an unofficial add on. The same applies to location history, this does not work on the mini GM's that's added when the phone is exported.
The Xiaomi global and EEA versions have it built in as stock as they are for export markets.
I hope you have some luck but I doubt Google services will be allowed on Chinese ROMs for a long time yet but at least the suppliers put something on us to get started with.
Hi interesting info thanks I love these forums
