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.

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.

Using Google Installer you can install Google Services and Play store but that doesn't work well.

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..

Moving from Lineage Os Back To Miui

Hi there, when I got my Mi5, six months ago, I've used Miui for a week, but soon as I can I switched to Lineage OS, because I was used to Google Stock I had on my previous smartphones (Nexus, OPO).
Now I would like to try the new miui (probably xiaomi.eu or miuipro), and my question is: I need to take some precaution or I just go in TWRP, wipe all I need to wipe, flash the miui 9 rom, magisk (I need root) and reboot the phone? Is that all?
Same if I would came back to LOS? Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache flash LOS, Gapps, eventually magisk and I'm done?
Or something more is needed when moving from MIUI to LOS and viceversa?
Thanks, I've tried miui 9 on a Mi 5x and now I'm really interested in try that again on my Mi5

@maicasajusta flashing LOS or unofficial Miui versions is pretty straightforward!
In case you need to go back to LOS, sometimes it's required you flash a dev firmware...
so in case you get the Error 7 message, here's the link

that's exactly what I wanted to hear, thanks! yeah, I'm aware of error 7, I got it in one of the update of LOS and solved just as you said

Keep back this thread just so ask: what if I want to move back to MIUI GLOBAL (Stable/Beta), from LOS, and viceversa? I've read that there's some risk to relock the bootloader, is that true? I would love to try the new notification shade.
Thanks.

u neeed to wipe internal for installing los 15 from miui official
for miui9 can be flashed via miflash tool

also i'd suggest try masik miui/ miui x over the above two. Updated a little less regularly but far more stable and polished compared to the others

Official ROM? Yes. EU? No. So just flash EU if you want to try MIUI and still be able to switch ROMs easily.

What is the most stable rom and some other questions rom related questions

Hello, I am currently running the global stable miui 8.1.4.0 on my mi5 and have gotten tired with Xiaomi not being able to make a good, stable rom for the mi5 so I have decided that I will flash a custom rom. Last time I rooted my phone was back when everybody used clockworkmod recovery so some things have changed.
1. My first question is which is the most stable rom for mi5. I don't care about android version or features I just want everything to work as well as possible.
2. Secondly, if I flash a custom rom will I pass safteynet if I have magisk installed?
3. What twrp should I use? I have heard about one called coffee which seems to be popular. or should I use some other?
4. How is the camera quality in custom ROMs compared to the stock rom(I will install the google camera when flashing the rom)
Thanks in advance!

Guide me please

Hey, so first of all sorry for making a long post and I might repeat things for which there may be threads so sorry in advance regarding that, so moving on ,I just bought k20 Pro, while miui is awesome , I'm thinking of switching rom, but can't do it rn as I'll be traveling soon and don't want to risk bricking my phone, I'll do it asap after I return (in 1 week) so my questions are:
1) How to unlock bootloader?
2) How to flash recovery ? And which one , I've always used TWRP on earlier device, but some ppl I see here say Orangefox.
3)I know how to flash a ROM, but what is the vendor everyone keeps telling to flash and should that be flashed everytime installing new rom?
4) Do you lose support for hd in prime and Netflix after flashing rom? If yes how to bring it back (if possible ).
5) ROM recommendation! I've used Lineage os on my previous device, so close it would be good, recommend something which is stable and fast , I don't use much customisation, and should be close to stock Android, as less bugs as possible.
6) Anything I need to know about the device? Something which will help me in future.
Note:i I've upgraded to Miui 12 so please try base answers on that version. I have Indian version of phone.
Thank you to the folks reading this and answering!!

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader. This is from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Stick with TWRP. Get it from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568 get the latest version. Orange Fox is a good choice of you stick with MIUI or a MIUI based custom ROM. Otherwise TWRP is the better option. Flashing instructions are there. You shouldn't need to flash the vbmeta patcher.
Check out my guide here, read the thread as some of your questions are answered there including a basic overview of vendor and firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you are used to LOS, then you may as well stick with that. It's as stable as any ROM for this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t3976469/post80406191
If you stick with Indian firmware and vendor, you should keep widevine L1.
If you get in a mess, follow this guide from the official MIUI forums to restore the phone with a fastboot ROM.

You will need to view this page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile.
You can get the latest MIUI fastboot ROM from here.

General I found The solution of the touch screen

Hi guys as we know Redmi 9t comes with tow Types of touch panels one of them is NVT-Ts which doesn't support Custom Roms, i found this kernel that support NVT-Ts and it works almost on any rom , that's the link of the kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rdHdhVSWCE_8EyTkr8EOKoWTTsS94zG_/view?usp=sharing
flash it after you flash your custom rom and after that format your data and reboot and enjoy
thanks for the developer who made this possible

Hi. You test it this kernel ? Is safe to install it ? What roms do you use/ have tried ? Thx. I have the same type of screen and phone is detected as lemon not lime and i didn't get the 11 EEA rom yet even it is official released for lime in EU.

U can use miui.eu, it works good.

Hi. Can you provide a link with the rom you installed please ? Thx. For custom recovery do you need a special tipe of stable rom (a standard original rom from xiaomi but modified for custom recovery) or it is working with any stable/beta rom from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com like this: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lime/stable/V12.5.2.0.RJQEUXM/
And other thing, i must wipe cache, davlink or data from PBRecovery before or after i install android 11 or i don't need to do that ? Now i'm on android 10 MIUI:V12.0.12.0.QJQEUXM and no OTA to 11 yet. Thx.

I forgot one thing - before installation of miui,eu, You have to first install via fastboot A11 rom.
A11 rom - https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lime/stable/V12.5.4.0.RJQMIXM
miui.eu: https://miuipolska.pl/redmi-9t-stabilna/

Thx for links but if my phone is recognized as lemon and not lime (like in rom description) how it will flash in fastboot ? I don't want to get me some errors and possible (or sure) brick my device. That screen type ruins everything on this phone...lucky me. Thx again.

My phone is also lemon.
