[Q] Chinese rom for AT&T note 3?

I want to install a chinese rom for the AT&T version of the note 3 so that it has chinese language settings on it. My father (who is using the phone) cannot read in English. I am on the MI9 right now, that is before the new update right? Is the bootloader locked for MI9 too?
Would these work? samsung-updates (.) com/device/?id=SM-N9002&details=Galaxy_Note_3_DUOS

No chance of anything on this phone except what it came with.

Not even if it's Samsung's own stock firmware? Just for the chinese version of the note 3.

no need to flash new rom, all you need to do is root your phone, then go download morelocale 2 from playstore. now open the app you just downloaded, on the right side of upper corner you should see custom locale in green color. click and open, now change language to zh instead of en, country US to CN, then click set and exit app.enjoy!

Thank you so much! I tried some other apps before but they didn't change the settings to chinese, just the app names. Just tried more locale 2 and it worked perfectly

Actually, it did not work I made the mistake of trying morelocale on my s4 and it worked.. so I assumed it worked for the note 3 too. When I tried it, only the app names were changed.. not the settings themselves.

Ok, just got my note 3 today so let me try to root my note 3 first and test it out see if I can change system locale to Chinese.

Samsung Note SM-N9208 Duos

Hello,
I bought N9208 today with the knowledge that it is compatible to my current carrier TMobile. I have several questions for those who have this phone.
#1. Am I able to install the operating system from TMobile? I am basically a noob when it comes to rooting etc etc. The phone comes unlocked.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

-> im not sure, but most likely not at the moment.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
-> Tmobile phone will have Tmobile bloatwares
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
-> Worship its beauty. Flash software???, what year is it man... Flash passed away already.
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
-> no unlock means you can use it with any carrier you can think of. if you want to root, go here , this worked wonder for my 9208.
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

I think you shouldn't do anything to your phone during a few days, to make sure that everything works fine. With an unlocked phone you'll be able to use any SIM card, and with a rooted phone you'll be able to see, modify and delete system files that otherwise can't be seen, so if a phone is unlocked it doesn't mean that it's also rooted.
To flash a new ROM you can use Odin.

Thank you, the tracking says my phone will arrive tomorrow. I will make sure it works fine with TMobile before doing anything else.
Oh... what do you mean by "To flash a new ROM you can use Odin?" Does this mean I can use TMobile's operating system and not from Taiwan's since this is from Taiwan? Sorry i am really a noob when it comes to this.

You can't use a firmware of the N920T on your N9208, as they are different models. You can only install a firmware that is specific for your device model.

So what should I do? lol I don't want Taiwan's apps. I would like to cater my phone as closely as TMobile's.

I have the N9208 and use it on TMOUS. It does not come with any Taiwan apps, just all Samsung official apps. The traditional Chinese keyboard and handwriting recognition are on by default. I have not tried turning them off since I do write in Chinese sometimes. You cannot install TMO FW as they are two different models. The main difference is that the TMO supports Samsung Pay while the N9208 does not yet since it is not supported in TW yet. It is not rooted by default.

So what should I do? Just leave it alone for now, and not root it? Can the keyboard be changed to simplified chinese?

It's up to you, just know that if you do root, it will trip Knox. That means you won't be able to use Samsung Pay if it gets released in the future and Android Pay unless there is some workaround. Yes, there is Simplified Chinese. You can also always download third party keyboards if you prefer.

Oh, what do you mean by "traditional chinese on by default?" I mostly type in English, so I hope English Language can be on default. I currently have Note 3, and if I swipe the space key, it switches to simplified chinese. Is Note 5 similiar to this that?
I guess I will leave it alone for a bit and see how it does. I read on the T Mobile forum at Tmobile website and it says N9208 does not have "LTE" and that wi fi calling isn't available? Is this true though?
Thanks

I just received my Note 5 N9208, and there isn't simplified chinese. Do I go to google play to download it? Also, the weather, how do I add multiple cities' weather? I am not liking the Samsung keyboard already. Can someone help? thanks

I just mean that when you first use the device the default keyboard and handwriting are set to both traditional Chinese and English. Yes you can deselect Traditional and change it to English. On the Note5 you just click on the globe key and it will change the language. It does support LTE. I posted a picture in a post somewhere, you can look at my history to find it. It does not have wifi calling from what I can tell.

I read elsewhere in the forum that the N9200 (China Note 5) does not come with the google play store and that rooting is often required to get it. I don't want to root. Does the N9208 come with the google play store? I assume yes since it's the Taiwan version, but would love to get some confirmation. Thanks! My plan is to use the phone on AT&T in the US states, and on China Mobile in China (N9208 should be fine for use in China as long as not using China Telecom, from what I've seen on frequencycheck).

Mi5 no region for Australia?

Just got myself a Mi5 from banggood.
Came with fake rom full of rubbish of course.
So I flashed it with the official global rom.
Upon setting up, I couldn't find Australia in the region section....? And not even the USofA ...
My question is, how do you set your region to one that's not on the list?
Or for all of yas Aussies, which region did u set ur phone to?
Thanks

I use morelocale2 for that, if you have root just select language and locale in the app, without root you need to grant permission with PM-command (via adb) first, it's all described in the app. That way I can have english language but still use sweden as locale.

That is something you don't have to care about. It's only for the regional configuration like AM/PM-24h parameters and so. It doesn't affect GPS or any other thing (correct me if I'm wrong). You may want to select India because of english.
When I bought it, I used to select some South American countries because Spain was not on the list.

Yes i know it doesn't affect anything, except the kind of apps u get pre installed and the bookmarks on the browser.
But it'd be nice to set your locale to where you actually are.
I guess i just have to deal with it, because i don't want to go to the rooted path.

Got my Mi 5 from Banggood 2 days ago to Aus and has no issues with bloatware? I personally set the locale to South Africa and have been sweet. Intend to flash Lineage however. Cheers

This just means you have to have a unlocked bootloader, you cannot lock the bootloader once flashing Global on to Chinese & vice versa
Quote from the article you linked:- "If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can safely flash out-of-region MIUI versions using TWRP, fastboot, or the MiFlash tool."
You just can't relock on a out-of-region ROM anymore

I have the same question as OP. Really looking forward to this one. Looks like it's going to be a really affordable device for the specs it offers but I would like to know how long it usually takes for global roms to be published.
I might wait until there's a stable global rom available.

Well the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 was released 11th November & the Global ROM was available on the 21st December I believe, based of that I'd say maybe a month give or take

On the Global ROM there is less bloatware, & it includes Google Apps, if you have Chinese ROM you get no Google Apps, also the AI button will be Chinese AI & not Google Assistant.
There's probably a few other differences I'm missing too..

I'm pretty sure you can install all the Google stuff on the Chinese ROM yes, however I'd definitely look in to it first if I where you, also I'm not sure if the AI button can be remapped

I pre-ordered from Giztop.
They contacted me saying they have the Chinese version in stock and will install Google play on the phone before shipping out.
I'm in the US.
If I go this route, can I convert to the global edition using the global rom at some point?
I'll just have to keep the bootloader unlocked?

I m new to this,. So does it mean that once unlock the bootloader I can install global miui ROM?

Everything I have read says yes. Chances are though in the near future we will see some really good custom ROMS for the phone so you may end up not even wanting to go with the stock global ROM once its out. At least that is my thinking and what I plan to do down the road.

Malicious software, viruses, etc.
If you are careful you should be fine.
Also some software (financial) sometimes doesn'tkke when the bootloader is unlocked.

Some banking apps don't work with a unlocked bootloader, also if your device where to be lost or stolen it's easier for the person to access your data or wipe the phone completely to sell it

Question New to Xiaomi, help with interface

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?
