Apologies if this has been answered already - I've searched and not found an answer.
I've just received my China version; having installed Google Play, is there any way to force a restore of a Google backup of my previous phone - it would be so much easier if it could (re)install my apps and settings in one go. I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Thanks
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think restoring from Google backups is only possible during the initial configuration. And China ROM doesn't have Google Play 'out of the box', it needs to be installed by the user. So I'm afraid it's not possible. But again, I could be wrong.
I would recommend unlocking the bootloader and flashing either the Global ROM or Xiaomi.EU. Preferably Xiaomi.EU because Global ROM is significantly behind with updates.
I couldn't test it but if you have installed google playstore and the google app basic android should be available. Then you can "restart" the inital setup via adb command:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity
That should run the google setupwizard. I can't try it as I have already .eu rom on my phone installed and there it is available from scratch.

If it doesn't, I only need to last as long as installing another ROM, but of course have to wait a week for that to occur!

As it happens I just tried it and got an error message:
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity} does not exist.
If that means anything to you and if there's an easy answer, I'd be grateful for the help. If not, don't worry
Ah - this is what I was afraid off. With installing google playstore the google setup is still missing. You could try the Android Setup Wizard from Google from APK mirror. This should install the missing files. But I really can't confirm that this will work. In worst case you need to do a factory reset. Or you just install the .eu rom and all problems gone .

Damn. So it is missing something more. Then I'm out of options to be honest. Maybe someone else has an additional idea how to get around that. Or you really think about switiching to .eu rom. Sorry.

use Xiaomi's mi mover app on the play store and you install it on both the previous phone and the new one, it will move everything over for you. I have been using the built-in migration app for all my phones, and they work just as well as google backup

Thanks very much - that is the solution. I had tried to use Mi Mover before using Google backup/restore but it kept failing.
The trick was – as you say – to install a fresh version from the Google play store and not to use the version which was already installed on the phone from the xiaomi App Store.
Once I did that, it worked a treat!!

Hi, I also recently both the Cc9, overlooking that is a Chinese wersion only, but after a bit of struggle managed to install the Google apps and all was working fine for a while. Now when I try to use some Google apps I get a message that there is an error with Google Play Services and it needs attention but when I tap on the message nothing happens. If anyone has experienced the problem and has a solution that will would be great.
Download this first app with chinese name from xiaomi store ( now called " get apps " ) and it will install everything you need for google play services

Thank you very much for your help. Changing the permissions did help and most apps work, although the error message still appears, but there's still problems with some apps. One of the main issues was the Google Pay app, that's why I both this phone instead Redmi Note 7 the NFC function, and changing the permissions allowed me to open the app, set up a payment card and at the end a message came up that the phone can not be used for store payments because it is rooted or altered in some way. I think I will just wait for another rom to come out. It is a nice phone so hopefully Xiaomi will release a global version.

Google pay will not work on CC9 with the official China rom, they don't get it certified by google since google isn't used in China. You'll need to flash a custom rom like xiaomi.eu and even then it can be difficult to get it working. CC9 will never get a an official global rom, if the phone is released globally it will probably be A3 pro (android one) so no miui global rom.

Good morning, i'm on the pixel experience rom on my mi 9, and i have enabled the Google assistant 2.0 by making Google thinking that i have a pixel 4 XL (by modifying the build.prop file). But it doesn't have any ui. Someone know how to get the transparent ui please? Thank you in advance

Hi, if your phone is rooted and you have an aosp rom (like pixel experience), you can install a root file explorer, like root explorer. Then go to /system/build.prop and change cepheus by flame in device, name and product, Mi 9 by Pixel 4 XL in model, and Xiaomi by Google in brand and manufacturer. Then save and reboot. After that, clean the data of the Google app, then try to trigger the google assistant. You should see a download screen, then the google assistant 2.0 will be enabled.

To enable continue conversation, you only need to go to the google app > settings > Google assistant, and in the assistant tab, you will find the continue conversation category, where you can enable it for your phone. I hope that this will help you. Have a great day sir.

Yeah, you must follow the steps described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._enable_new_google_assistant_for_older_pixel/.
Then, from a google flame dump: https://github.com/AndroidDumps/goo...-user-10-QQ1D.200205.002-6084393-release-keys,
take in the product directory priv-app/systemuiGoogle, usr/srec/, etc/sysconfig and push it in the same directories on the mi 9. Then reboot your phone and clear the google app data if needed. Then you should have the next gen assistant. If it's not the case, make sure you have only supported languages checked in the google assistant languages settings. So good luck, and i hope that someone will succeed to enable it with the new ui.

first of all, hide magisk app itself (rebuild with random package name, its in Magisk settings). clear play store and play services data and reboot, then check again
if still not working, you can try Xposed modules like XPrivacyLua or SudoHide

Tried as recommended but doesn't work
G'day
I'm sick of google and everything they are about. Don't be evil my arse. I already do the simple stuff like using brave browser and duck duck go search. I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to strip my phone of as much google as possible and replace with aosp alternatives. Or even just point me towards some guides on it.
I am using a Samsung galaxy a22 5g rooted with magisk stock rom.
Thanks
I think you might want to flash a custom ROM, then use something like MicroG Magisk, NanoDroid or FOSSApps. Ungoogling an already Googled stock ROM might be more pain than flashing something community developed.
I'm currently running Lineage with Magisk GApps (so I can remove them anytime) and I'm slowly getting ready for the transition. So I'm also looking for more information.
I set up a VPS for myself (might be an overkill for you, but inspiration nonethelss) and I'm hosting OnlyOFFICE Community there and using their apps, I also host my own BitWarden password storage and a mail server (was kinda pain to set it up with all the methods for spam verification). This way some of my most sensitive data is kept on an encrypted drive on a server I myself control.
Then there's getting apps which are mainly available through Google Play - I found that uptodown does host apks, but that's far from an actually viable option (considering you really have to trust them when you're downloading apps there). Alternative stores providing the same apps as Google Play are always kinda worrying to use & trust.
So that's my two cents worth and a starting point, I'll also gladly accept some tips & tricks to accomplish this entirely, it's a long-lasting dream to leave Google altogether.

Hey thanks for the reply and info. Flashing an aosp custom rom would be my usual go to. However I've been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.

The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.
Do you think I should go with a GSI rom? If safe and stable I'm happy to do the research because I'd love to get a custom aosp rom going on this.
Afaik this samsung can't even access fastboot gotta use the Samsung flashing software instead and the only thread on twrp for this phone is experimental and doesn't seem to be confirmed as working by anyone.
Hence why so far I've stuck with stock and magisk
I used to flash heaps of roms and kernels on older devices but this whole GSI thing is new to me. If it's dicey I'll go the TB route with the folders you pointed me to. Cheers

I use Graphene OS on my Pixel 6 and CalyXOS on the 4a. Both are very good degoogled ROMs.
I built a Magisk module for this some time ago. However, it's very likely that it won't work anymore and will probably cause a bootloop. I'm only posting it in case someone wants to use the repo as inspiration.

Kinda confusing... are you currently in China? If so, then yes, Play Store is blocked in that country.
If you are outside of China (anywhere in the world) and using CN ROM, there is NO issue with using GMS and Play Store after installing the necessary Google apps. It is not bloked/firewalled whatsoever without the need to convert to Global ROM.

Motorola is generous in including the GMS. Even then there are some services still prohibited/missing from the phone like voice matching and android auto, which cannot be simply solved by installing apks.

The voice matching is not working because Motorola installed their own voice assistant (LeVoice) using the hotword "hello moto".
I can simply install Android Auto apk and it works flawlessly.

Hey there
When you say andorid auto works flawlessly, did you need to root the device? I have the x30 pro cn version and i have android auto install but never worked. I get the error 22 because the android auto is not a system app. Did you do anything for it to work? Or just installed the app?

I will get back on you regarding this. I need to try it out first. At first I thought the installation part is your issue.

Np. The app gets installed but not as a system app. Wondering if there is a way to install it as a system app without rooting that will be great.

These what i get. I guess there is no way for the AA to work without rooting and using the magisk patch.
