So I just thought this may help some people get done extra features on their UK based miui 12.5 I accidently stumbled across this when being impatient waiting for my 12.5 update and I thought it was pretty neat do decided to share.
If you go into settings and down to additional settings and change region to India it will instantly give you the latest update but after I updated and tested everything working as it should i then changed back the region to United Kingdom but I noticed that where I'd just set up an awesome lock screen wallpaper carousel that I really liked it was suddenly no longer changing photos so after going into settings the options had also gone so when changing back to India it appears again.
I hope this may help some individuals in the community, this is all I've noticed so far but if anybody tries this and notices anything else feel free to comment thanks.
Edit:
After looking around and using for a while I've also noticed that it opens up hundreds of extra wallpapers and live wallpapers so seems beneficial using India as region rather than UK.
I changed my region too to get the new 12.5.3.0 update but used Belgium as the country, don't use wallpaper carousel though.

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.
the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!
installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?
Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.
boing - er bump !
You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much
Ive been looking for this for months!!! works great, in canada, on vogue, bell network

IS there a way to do this without rooting? thanks.
I'm in a closed circle
I want to download rom manager which is not available in the market of my devices country, the enabler needs rooting (I'm not sure if it will work with HtC desire hd android 2.3) and rooting needs visionary+ and it's not working on this Os version..it's like endless thread...anyone has an idea?

Wrong thread. Please, delete this post.
Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.
Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?

We got a problem Hustom
Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,
Dan

This app doesn't work anymore.
Really TICKED OFF that the MMS is dead. Read everything I can find on other Forums and nothing has worked. Going to start a new thread here because this seems to be the only place on the web where device specific discussion, especially for these this device, happens.
I am being offered a HUGH OTA update but it doesn't say what it is.
I am in the USA and the device actually came from India.
Anyone in the USA know if this is the 6.0.1 update and does the device retain full phone capability??
10/25/16
OK going to answer my own question.
Yes it is the update to 6.0.1
Did a lot of research before moving on with the download.
It will complete the download and then give you some instructions.
It will also list the Versions and build numbers. Looked those up to find out what reagion they were for and that told me I was getting a version for Australia so I was sure I was going to get to keep the phone function. I Did.
The research I did gave a bunch of instructions and cautions about backing up all your data and apps. WAS NOT NECESSARY. Every APP I had was reloaded and all of my screens were restored just like before. It even saved my APN DATA for the phone. The only oddity was that it put some shortcuts on the home screen to some of my Drive files and to my voicemail quick dialer.
General observations:
I HATE the SMS APP now. Lost a lot of control over the background and bubble appearance.
Not real enthused about the new drop down menu background and icon definition either.
The problem is both cases is that the backgrounds are white/light grey and the icons/bubbles are medium blue. Not a lot of contrast so they will be hard to see in bright light.
The new MEMO APP is going to take some getting used to but, I think I will like it.

What was wrong with the 815Y stock messaging sms app? Compared to the 815?
today i had a notification update the update was 0.95 GB
in the change log it mentioned adding face unlock the new night mode (enhanced than before) plus nay security patches and improvements ....
im still updating so i didnt try them out yet
would keep you posted if you are interested
so? can you give us an update on the update?
Biggest feature is the face unlock
It is super fast and secure too as i tried using a picture of me and stuff which sometimes works on other phones but it didn't unlock also there is no a raise to wake feature kinda like the iphone
Didn't notice yet any performance and battery changes
Just a slight camera optimization
Will keep u updated as i use it more...
Did u get the face unlock?
Also there is a new app called app gallery
Basically another application store but it also updates huawei's own applications and stuff
My mate 10 has face unlock with april update patch.. not may.
I updated mine and its mentioned that theres new night shot mode but nothing new in night shot mode

It is the one from the p20. 4 seconds and stabilized. Old night mode was 8 seconds and shakey by hand for me
I like the update. Face unlock is fast to, has a lift to wake option now
My mate 10 is rooted with magisk and using twrp as recovery. How can i update to latest? Update with OTA will brick my phone??
noticed that the theme app was acting slowly... then while playing around with huawei's appstore, I set the country to china (funny, they removed the united states as an option from the list of countries now). After that, the theme app updated itself, and now we have a lot more options to download. The china one seems to be mostly paid, but change it to any other country and the remaining ones only show the free options. Guess since china doesn't have payment options from those countries, the paid themes/wallpapers/etc don't show up
This is not a tutorial, just a technical note. I have been able to restore my unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro (model GM1915) that was firmware build GM31CB, with the GM21AA for models GM1911 and GM 1917. YMMV.
I have not experienced any issues with LTE or wifi calling, or text messages. I immediately received and successfully installed an OTA. The only difference I've seen so far is the wifi-calling icon now says "V♂WIFI" (still works though) and default ring tone.
Before you ask why didn't I just use the MSMTool to install the international version.... Some may find themselves in my predicament, where they are Linux or Mac users and the MSMTool.exe is for Windows. I tried a Windows VM but was only partially successful. The T-Mobile download links I found were broken and GM21AA is easily found.
Follow up: I've figured out that the male symbol is actually "oiP" to spell VoiP. Another note is that swiping from edge left to center used to bring up curated news, a feature I liked, but now it brings up a tray with widgets like a parking tool. I'm starting to think that the tiny differences I'm noticing are differences in the updates because T-Mob was behind on the releases. Also, I neglected before to mention that the ROM was installed via TWRP.

You can get that back by installing Nova launcher and the Google companion app. The international version is leaps and bounds better than the hack job TMo did. For being optimized for Tmos network I have way better performance on the international version. MMS messages wouldn't always download, sms would hang. On the international version everything just works. You think it would be the other way

Turns out that the stock Samsung Gallery has a secret menu, and it`s easy to enable it, take a look.
Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.
Best part is that it runs on One UI 3.1/3.0/2.5 and 2.1 so even earlier devices should benefit.
Test it for yourself and let us know here what you were able to activate or de-activate.
Doesn't do anything on my Note 10+ /Pie.
Damn! Which version are you using (Gallery & One UI)? It should work back to One UI 2.1 - can you try again - you have to aim for the last few digits - I myself did not get it the first time...

Gallery 10.2.00.19/ One UI vers 10.0.40.6
No go with this version.
Samsung is fond of hidden secret menus. Who knows how many there really are?
I found one by accident over a year ago.
Really? Those goofballs would have you tapping on everything. It's more than just annoying.
Anymore I cringed at updating any Samsung apk other than Wearables. Last update on the Good Lock family of apps left it with dumb looking creepy dancing icons on the main menu and zero tangible functionality improvements.
Small wonder I'm still running Pie; don't need AT&T/Samsung and Google screwing up -my- N10+!
I found a few more in Bixby (allowing capsule test) and S Health (a bit more settings) - still testing them...
Agree - stick on Pie - unless you dont want to test next versions
I finally got it to work. You have to press on the version number several times not the word Gallery. Kind of interesting....
I tried and it did not work, but i tried harder, and being pixel perfect? It did work on A32 latest version.
Works on my S21+ (stock) with all the latest updates. Thanks!
