Google Play for Mi5 China 8.2

I installed China Stable 8.2 but no GAPPS, how to install them ?

You need to install Google play services, play store, service framework, account manager, contact sync, calendar sync apks manually.

You won't get them worked on CN Stable or Dev rom.
No Google services will work.
You can install Xiaomi.eu rom which is based on CN Stable and CN Dev(weekly) but it supports Gapps.

Nope, I gave request yesterday and Im waiting...

Okay it'd take 3 to 7 days to get their response.
For me it took 4 days.
Knock me if you think I can help you.

If I unlock It I plan to install Global Stable ROM, I think it's the best choise, what do you think ?

I think Xiaomi.eu ROM is the best choice.

I wonder, why do you think so?

[Cuz Eu rom has much more features, better RAM management and battery performance.
Again they enabled Camera api 2. Though it's not a full control over the camera but you know, something is better than nothing. Specially with Open camera and ProShot we can capture RAW image.
Afterall it's a stock Rom but with some good modification.
GIVE IT A TRY.

It works for me on 8.0.12 china stable. Give them all permissions in security. I don't know on latest 8.2.2 though. Btw they provide an installer on mi app store, give it a try.

Can you give me a tutorial how to install it ?
Also is there Eu rom for Redmi 4 ?

Yes There's eu rom for redmi 4.
Tutorial is similar to flash a custom rom.
just one thing you need to remember that you can't wipe system before installing eu rom.
So.
Unlock your device
install TWRP
Boot into TWRP
Wipe your Internal Storage & Data or you can just do a factory reset from Wipe menu. ( It's a must for newer Xiaomi device as it's encrypted by Xiaomi.)
After wiping Internal Storage & Data reboot system.
Your phone will be started as new now.
Go through the setup wizard to finish boot.
Now download eu rom for your device.
After downloading boot into TWRP.
Make a Backup of your current ROM ( Optional but recommend.)
Wipe Data, Cache but DON'T WIPE SYSTEM.
Install Eu rom.
After Installing don't wipe cache.
Reboot system.
Done.

One thing you need to remember, If you're on China rom and you don't have Google apps on your rom, you won't get Google apps after flashing eu rom.
So for unlocking your device flash Global Dev rom first and unlock. ( Without dev rom you can't unlock your device.)
As Global Dev rom has full package of Gapps so there's nothing to worry about.
After flashing Eu rom you'll get the Gapps.

I think you misunderstand something. It doesn't matter which rom you use china, global or custom ones, xiaomi.eu will always have google services. They are built-in in xiaomi.eu. Btw, you won't get incremental ota in xiaomi.eu. You need to download full rom to upgrade.

Actually I tried.
I flash eu rom over my Global rom. After rebooting with eu rom all the gapps package was there. Then again I flash eu rom over RR. On RR I didn't flash Gapps. So after flashing eu rom I didn't find any gapps there. Then again I flash back RR, Install Gapps. Then again flash eu rom over it. This time I got the Gapps. As I flash Pico Gapps on RR so I only got Play Store on eu rom.
Remember, xiaomi.eu ask you not to wipe system. That's the reason. It's like an OTA update.
If you install eu rom like an ordinary ROM it will be in bootloop.
I might be wrong but literally I'm not

Would suggest the global stable ROM at this point. It's got great RAM management and is running really smooth and at times more stable wrt to LOS and AOSP ROMs. Plus even the battery life has been quite decent too

No sir!
Battery drain is a little bit faster in the Global Stable, thats why I suggest eu ROM, its almost debloatedand optimized at some point..

11.0.3.0 Mi9T Pro OTA update

Does anyone else received this update on the Mi9T Pro? I have an EEA version and the update just popped up today. It looks like the update to Android 10 and miui 11 in one go. Just wanted to know if anyone else installed this. The current version is good enough for me now not keen on the update, specially if it brings bugs.

Yes, me too, going to install it later today, when I'm off work, make sure you do a full twrp backup first.

Yes, I saw on a facebook group that some EU users already got it. But no feedbacks yet.
Still no OTA for global the version.
Here is the link for the EEA update.

Just got it too. Will install shortly.

i've updated it. How can i disable vibration after i kill app from recents?

Installed and rooted via patched image a few hours ago and everything is working smoothly. The setting menu is much more streamlined and the fingerprint scanner works much better now! I haven't installed TWRP since I don't know which version works, maybe someone here can share which version works for them.

Can install this on Global Rom (Bootloader locked)?

Wait for the official Global update. Flashing different versions can seriously mess up your phone.

Guys, i'm on MIUI Global 10.3.3.0 (Stable) right now with an unlocked Bootloader & root (twrp & Magisk).
When the MIUI 11 update arrives (Germany), can i just OTA update or do i have to do something specific?
Excuse my bad english, lol.

And this is why people get "hacked" and their data stolen.
Update your device, especially if it comes from official channels!
I understand that you are a little reluctant to install it, but rest assured, I have been a beta tester for miui 11 for this device, they have squashed lots of bugs.

Downloaded and installed ?

First I would like to thank you your comment and advice. I was planning to upgrade but not just yet. However I don't think you would have to be that drastic and your comment may also scare others.(don't have to be a scaremonger) No one will hack my device or steal my data just because I wait on an update?!!
I have already tested miui11 on my prev k20pro and I found lots of bugs. I know this is an official update, but we all know this can still be full of bugs. I do like xiaomi (otherwise I wouldn't buy the mi9t pro) specially because they provide frequent updates. However this isn't my first xiaomi device and taking my previous experience with buggy updates I just wanted to be extra careful before rolling out the update, mainly because my BL is locked and couldn't flash the downgrade immediately if I find the new version unusable.
Luckily others already provided positive feedbacks so I'm sure I will do the update shortly.

based on my exp, if you using twrp you must clean (wipe system and data) install the miui 11 zip file because miui 10 and miui 11 are different android based. will be much problem if you just flash the zip file without wipe the data partition.

Question Revert back to global MIUI

I have flashed the Xiaomi eu rom on my RN 10, now I want to go back to the global version. How to do it?
Edit:
Link for stock rom
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.2.0...M_20210226.0000.00_11.0_global_06f2a9e26b.tgz

Just out of interest, why do you want to switch back to the global rom?

You can, it's the same ROM, at least for xiaomi.eu

The first thing I do when I buy a xiaomi / redmi / poco is to change my rom to xiaomi.eu. I prefer to have the mi phone and mi messages aplication and there are options that the Global rom does not have, such as super wallpapers for example.

Has ther been any issue about going back to Official Global such as Anti-Roll-Back etc.?
Didn't flash for some time and asking myself if it's still a problem...

Once you went back to the official, did you notice performance improvement? I'm on xiaomi.eu and found a couple of issues with apps and also some apps are behaving very slow. I don't remember that in the week or so that I had the stock Rom....

I assume you are already unlock bootloader. Just flash it with miflashtool (found on official website). I already tested. From Global to EU and back to Global Indonesian. #DWYOR
The regular Global is suck, dialer, message and contact using google product.

Question Mi11, EU or Global ROM? Which is better?

Hi,
Just ordered a Mi11 from China, and I would like to flash it with a global or EU stock firmware.
Would you recommend the Global or the EU one?
I am not a customer rom type really and I would just like to have the phone as close as a stock firmware experience with google services, OTA s and all.. although I understand it will never be perfect since the boot loader needs to stay unlocked.
Is it just a matter of unlocking BL and flash it with a stock firmware found here https://c.mi.com/global/miuidownload/index, am I right?
Thanks

I personally have tested Xiaomi Eu and MMX, I find MMX in my opinion to be more stable even on weeklies even tho it's based on EU. It also comes pre rooted and if you don't want root just flash the EU boot IMG instead. On MMx you also get widevine l1

When unlocking the BL shall I proceed directly from the MiUnlock tool or start first with the developer option in the settings?

Also, is it worth it to make a backup of the persist partition, just to be on the safe side?

I'm using MMX MIUI 13 latest beta build with some app updated from miui stock apps group and I have the new widgets and phone is very responsive and good battery performance. After I unlocked the bootloader I downloaded the fastboot rom from their site and just flashed every straight forward and easy. Just remeber to format data once you do the initial setup I'm case you have issues with storage permissions. So basically after you flashed go through the setup screen don't set it up just finish a quick set up and go to settings and format again through settings after it's done just setup device like you would normally do.

So you must said EEA, not EU for don't create understanding problems.
Be careful because you have a Chinese model, so don't relock bootloader (if using MiFlash) because by default MiFlash apply option "Lock & Clean". Each time you'll use MiFlash, be sure to select on the right bottom just "Clean all", never lock with a another ROM model than Chinese. If you lock bootloader with a EEA/Global ROM, you will brick your device.

Many thanks for that, worked perfectly on my mi 11

Got the phone yesterday but the first impression is quite bad.
Poor build quality in my opinion and the battery is laughable.
Had a realme x2pro for more than 2 years and still going very strong, built like a tank.
Anyway, started bootloader unlocking countdown, only 150 hrs left

Question Xiaomi.eu to Global stable

can anyone point me in the right direction to change from Xiaomi.eu to the global stable rom? I have been using Xiaomi.eu weekly roms, but i am running into some performance issues that I didn't experience using the global rom.
i did try the directions here: https://www.droidwin.com/switch-xiaomi-rom-from-eea-to-global-stable-developer-on-locked-bootloader/ but ended up in a fastboot loop and ending up going back to Xiaomi.eu.

a simple way to confirm that,
the back of your phone does have only XIAOMI logo on it? or does it have small font writings like (made in china, 5G, etc)? if it is plain with XIAOMI logo only then it is 100% Chinese version.
