Some people in this forum said that the best ROM for the Chinese variant is the China ROM or the XiaomiEU ROM and for the other variants it is the best to use the Global, Europe, Indian,.. ROM.
Is that true if I want the best Performance without big throttle or can I use every ROM on every Variant?
I personally got the Chinese variant and the EU Stock ROM because of my Region, but if I sometimes See people here getting insane antutu scores, I think I did something wrong with ROMs or even decided to buy the 8GB variant instead of 12GB
Can someone explain me everthing short and clear?
You can install any of the roms once you unlock the bootloader,(just don't relock it with any ROM except the Chinese one since your phone is Chinese version)
If you have a decent internet connection it doesn't take long to download them all , skip through the settings and run an antutu test on each one to see which is the best

Hello Dear Experts,
I got my phone the other day, super happy with it , But little problems. I had to go with my Chinese sellers Custom ROM as she convinced me that the phone will not support bands in Dubai, UAE, though i insisted on the Official Xiaomi ROM. Please help me with the below problems
1. My PRO model no is 2015501, It is not supporting the LTE and 3g bands in UAE and many other countries. ( I Checked with willmyphonework.net, but other PRO models support ), But upon installing the Sellers Custom ROM ,The bands are working and i am able to use 4G, So guess its not an Antenna problem. So can i still install an Official ROM and use the phone in my area with the band issues. ??
2.. My current ROM is not letting me log in to MI acc from phone add account area,totally a Restricted System . Is the custom ROM the Villan here ( MIUI 7.7 - STABLE - LXHCNCI is my current ROM)
3. Cannot Download any themes , and MIUI Cleaner app and many other apps missing, and third party stuff inn. Guess the official ROM is the solution,Bootloader Unlocked as per the Seller. Can i install an Official ROM, link to download it??
4. AnTu Tu benchmark score is 48,840 Which is considerably lower, verified the phone with MI Verified app, looks OK, But why is the Score so low??
Appreciate the Advice on these.

install this one
http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
same as official but with multilang
there are no stable Miui 7.7 the latest stable is for Note pro (leo) is 7.2.4 LXKCNDA
Got the phone from Hong Kong, I want to install TWRP and root, but not sure if I have the developer rom or the international rom?
How does one tell which one you have?
As I know doesn't exist an global version yet...
You only could have an original stable or developer.
Thinking when you ordered in HK you should have one of these...
Some international stores install an shop ROM, as I know it's that the worst case..
BTW: I changed from stable to developer and think there are less bloat inside and the quality of camera seems like better
Not sure if this is related to the ROM or not, but MIUI version says "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.7.0.0"
I'm assuming the shop in HK installed something as it was already in English when I got the phone. The stock roms don't have English do they?
I just want to be sure I install the right TWRP version......
They do. But you mostlikely have the edited chinese rom. If you check the software in the details should say MIUI Global 8.
If thats the version you have then install the normal twrp.
I tried all the roms and ended up going back to the one that came with with a nand backup i made of the "shop" rom.
The eu rom is very buggy and had speed issues.
I have been extremely confused on what the available ROMs are for this device. I usually am not this cautious, but the sheer rarity of this phone always makes me think twice with what I do with it.
So after reading around a bit, to my understanding these are the available ROMs:
Chinese Stable
Chinese Developer
EU unofficial global (on MIUI 6.x.x??!)
Vendor ROM
What I don't understand is that listed for me is "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.7.0.0 (MAHCNDI)". No Chinese bloatware, English is set by default, play store is automatically installed...
I want to update my phone OTA, but clearly this is broken as no updates even pop up after checking. My question is:
What rom am I running?
Of the following ROMs mentioned which one is the update to my device?
Thanks guys, I hope I haven't been the millionth person to ask.
Edit: after reading a bit more I've found others in my same situation. English is automatically selected, no bloatware, and the playstore is automatically installed. Apparently I have a vendor ROM, one that was installed by the seller/vendor. It's extremely hard to believe that this isn't an official global ROM!
So this Chinese stable rom: http://en.miui.com/thread-436070-1-1.html , would it have bloatware and the whole 9 yards of hell?
I can't update OTA because the updater is broken and I'm not trying to unlock the bootloader unless it's absolutely necessary. Am I on an abandoned ROM?
I had this rom it wasn't EU rom it is global same as you 8.0.7.0.0 I liked it cos it clean of all that bloatware that other roms have but I couldn't install xposed so I tried an EU rom and it did work the Eu rom does have some Chinese crap in it but some can be uninstall and now I have a very good looking and working rom, you got to tweak and customize it as you which and i'm happy with it.
I am in the same situation as you, I'm on 8.0.8.0.0 "Global" . It was installed by Gearbest, I can only assume. My updater can't see any other ROMS, not even when I've downloaded it either. So yes I think it's "abandoned".
I've asked for my phone to be unlocked so that I can get access to update the ROM later on from Xiaomi. It's been about 24 hours, I can only assume they're busy since lots of the phones have been delivered to customers by now.
My plan is to go onto the EU ROM unless I can get access to google apps using the Chinese ROM.
So to my understanding now, Xiaomi flashed every device that was sold internationally (ones shipped to redistributers like GearBest or Geekbuying)? And now they offer no support or legitimate way (besides unlocking the bootloader) to update... Can somebody correct me or didn't Xiaomi curse us with this beautiful device?
Interesting to hear. Maybe I'll check out the EU ROM
Hello
I'm about to purchase an Mi 9 for my son. I can only buy it online, since no physical stores have it where i live. It's not officially released where i live. I think that the phone will come with the global rom.
I saw in a youtube video, that the phone will drain battery in standby mode. Since there is a bug that make the phone try to connect to both the Chineese and the European networks. It could be fixed by installing the EU rom. There was also many other good reasons to flash the Eu rom. Like for instance a cleaner firmware with less bloat. Is this true?
Can i flash an Eu rom on a global version without unlocking the booloader?
If I unlock the bootloader to flash the EU rom. Can it then be locked again? (Because of Netflix)
Thanks
Yes its true that EU Rom is debloated and have fixed Networks
But You can Not lock the bootloader in the EU Rom.
And yes Netflix is Widevine Level 3 but i dont know Who can See a diffference on a Smartphone Display. Btw as i know You can Download Movies in HD and watch them. Only streaming is Not HD
Thanks
Just called support from the web shop. He told me that, it is a EU version.

There are two ROMs that I think you are confusing. There's an EU version of the stock ROM which is virtually identical to the Global ROM and there is a custom EU ROM which is probably what you saw in the YouTube video.
The custom EU ROM is reverse engineered from the China ROM rather than the Global. It was originally created to provide a non-Chinese ROM for Xiaomi phones that didn't have an official Global ROM.
The EU ROM has always had serious bugs on every single phone where I have ever flashed it. You should go to the official website for that ROM and look at the discussion/support thread and see if that's still the case.
The EU ROM you are referring to is a custom ROM. You need to unlock the bootloader to flash it and frequently you need to use an unnoficial version of TWRP to do that. People often brick their phones using unofficial TWRP recoveries. Permanently bricking a phone is also way more common on newer Treble compliant phones than it was in the old days so even if you have experience flashing custom ROMs you can still brick your phone and turn it into an expensive paperweight.
I would do more research outside of XDA if you are interested in EU ROM because there is no support for that ROM here.
As title, i just bought myself a realme gt 2- global version, everything is in general quite good, from screen, camera to battery life. But realme multitasking is terrible, with 8gb ram but i cant keep more than 5 apps in background. I wonder if this smartphone running snapdragon 888 can have a custom rom something like pixel experience?
I do not think the bootloader can easily be unlocked, especially on the Global version.
As far as I understandm the Chinese devices allow for the bootloader to be unlocked so that Chinese resellers can flash the global ROM and ship the phones internationally.
Perhaps Realme will change their minds and allow us to unlock the bootloader and make custom ROMs, however I would not count on it.
it will be available for sure in the near future.
