Ok, so recently I have converted my WW rom to CN rom for better performance. But now I'm having a new issue. which is, all those Chinese language and bloatware in the CN rom.
I want to keep the CN rom, but use it as like WW rom, I mean, no unnecessary Chinese popups or language which I'll never understand, and to get rid of all those bloatware. Is there any way to get rid of those??
Also, huge thanks to the community. <3

See here for removable apps / bloatware. See post 8 for all CN packages, plus post 9. Read all the thread, though. It may have useful pointers as to which are safe to remove

I've noticed that we have a few Chinese users here and I was wondering what stock rom the phone has since we don't have a stock Chinese firmware, nor a stock firmware with even the Chinese language. Do ya'll get them with CM from the carrier over there? or do ya'll have a different stock than whats available here?
Thanks
I'm curious and this has always bugged me.

I dont think we have stock Chinese firmware since this phone is mainly focused on only some markets. even in my country (Vietnam), we're neighborhood of China but I still must buy an ATT one which is bought by shipping from US
Correct me if I'm wrong but if we have, more choices are better

That sucks. I was, and still am, hoping that perhaps there's another stock firmware floating around somewhere. Later in its life the Defy started getting more and more Chinese users and firmwares, some of which were done in a way that it enabled us to flash custom roms if we screwed up and took an OTA that blocked the hacks. The first Atrix even had a leaked Chinese ICS even though it was never officially supposed to be past Gingerbread. With the Chinese and Asian users here, I was hoping an Asian carrier might have released or is using a different stock firmware than what we already have....maybe that's not the case and they're all just importing like you.
I am Chinese ,but I like to use a English firmware .it can help to improve my English skill .

If that is the case. When you buy a Chinese Atrix HD do you get it with a Chinese firmware or did you had to flash an US firmware?

if the phone is popular in China , the storekeeper will hire someone to develop the Chinese package so that we can get the Chinese interface .
MB886 is popular ,so it has the Chinese package at first ,after unclock the bootloader , they also translate other rom into Chinese,like slim,beanstalk and so on .
if the phone has Chinese interface ,it can sells in higher price .
I used to bought a moto XT881, it is very cheap because no Chinese interface .
Ohhh i see. Thanks for sharing. So in other words the phone do get stock version same as ours.
My Mix has been dispatched so should get it soon. It's from GearBest. I'm pretty sure it won't be opened.
It'll be used in the UK.
ROM-wise, I see people talking about:
Chinese version
Vendor version
International version
I'm guessing it'll come with the Chinese version.
I presume the best thing for me would be to put the International version 6.12.8. I see it's a stripped down version of the China one with built-in Gapps support.
My questions are:
1) If I get it unlocked and put TWRP on it and flash this ROM, does this mean it's ROOTED? Or is rooting a separate process.
I don't want my phone to be rooted because it means banking apps won't run on it even if you use Hide Root stuff.
2) That ROM is legit isn't it? It sounds different to the vendor one that I've read people talking about that's on version 8.xxxx. Is that less legit than the one on xiaomi.eu?
Sorry for being a nub.
Ah wait... doing more research...
So the Chinese ROM is 8.0.11.
The DEVELOPER ROM is 6.12.8.
Is the Developer ROM on en.miui.com the same as the International one on xiaomi.eu?
Hello guys;
A friend of mine went to mainland China and brought me an Mi 9 Chinese version;
We both are from Brazil, and I'm thinking about keep the Chinese version, is there any major downgrade to stay on it?
I was searching around the forum about to flash the European version, but I found it difficult and I'm so worried about mess everything and brick it.
So, that being said, I'm not a heavy user, I just need it for Android Auto, Spotify, Whatsapp and the banking application (mainly it's important).
What you guys think?
Does it have a very detailed step-by-step from Chinese rom for Global/Europe?
Thanks everybody!

I have the same one 8gb ram China phone, I am in UK, first thing my 4g don't work as I need a band 20 (800) of UK networks 4g, but a global rom should sort that out, you need to unlock the bootloader first for that you need to log into your mi account and than keep using the phone for 360 hours than you will be allowed bootloader unlock, if the 4g working? cheers

Flashing a Global or any rom will not do anything to your band 20. So far it is not possible to modify the bands on the Mi 9.
@SanderVisions, I have flashed Xiaomi.eu rom without major problem, it is quite easy but you need to unlock bootloader first. I couldn't flash Global rom on my phone but I think it is my mistake (I messed up with the flash tool at first). Anyway, quite satisfied with the Xiaomi.eu so far, at least it is working for me

Hi, SanderVisions,
I´m in the same situation. I was in Shanghai 2 weeks ago and buy a chinese 8 gb Mi 9. I´m from Brazil too and my bootloader is 2 days of be unlocked.
When you say "european version" you mean xiaomi.eu ROM or the EEA version of official firmware from xiaomi ?
Because it´s made more sense to flash the GLOBAL version if you want to stay in official firmware.
But, as far as I know, to change to other ROM you need a unlocked bootloader and there are some reports that bank applications can have problems with it. You can´t look the bootloader again, if you change the ROM region
Or maybe this problem is related to the root process.
Maybe someone can give more info about unlocked bootloader/ root and bank applications.
At the moment, I think that I will stay with the chinese firmware some more days/weeks until the developers explore a little more of this great phone.
Thanks
Hello guys, I think I'll be in the chinese version for now, when there's a workaround to make the bank app run in unlocked bootloaders I will change it.
My 4G works with no problems here in Brazil, everything works perfect in this phone, just the bloatware chinese, my only concern if this apps will drain my whole battery.

Good thing your 4g is working, someone I know have installed the global rom which sorts out the 4g problem in UK, I am just waiting for the 360 days to be over so that I can unlock bootloader, when you root after bootloader unlocking there is a settings in magisk to hide magisk from apps and if its checked Google pay and other banking apps works but some people still get problems, cheers

Tldr verison: new to xaiomi and need how to info on how to set up in a user friendly fashion. Living in the US
I recieved my 11 U monday night. It is the Chinese version.
I'm struggling to set up the phone, it came with google play store preinstalled, though downloads keep defaulting to the Mi app store which is in Chinese. When I swipe up it pulls up a search function also in Chinese. How do I set google playstore as my default play store and make google the default browser? How do I make the phone entirely in English?
I'm new to xiaomi and am looking to make it more user friendly, I have a Samsung note 8 currently and looking to make the interface similar.
I've read a bit about debloating on reddit but unsure what that means.
Any tips tricks or how to videos would be very appriciated
I live in the united states and have tmobile.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I tried searching the forum but only saw things on the EU rom and not sure how that works for the USA

What is the actual benefit of flashing EU ROM or getting global version
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?
forum.xda-developers.com
When buying Y700 from AliExpress, are there any guides or FAQS that list the advantages of global rom vs stock rom?
I've seen general terms like "Global rom is limited" etc.
Is it possible to tell AliExpress to leave the stock Chinese rom, and then update OTA (via VPN) without any bugs?
Or is it better to start with global rom, then flash chinese rom, and then update?
I've been reading alot and have seen people do both approaches, but I'm curious what you experienced guys would do if you could do it all again.
Also, is there a way for Widevine L1 while unlocked, or best to keep it locked? The stock Chinese rom works well, or are there problems?
