GAPP and EMUI 9

Hi
I want to buy a chinese Mate 20 X but i read on alyexpress this :
"Because the Google company prohibit the user installing GMS by themselves,for chinese firmware, after upgrading to EMUI9.0 (Android 9.0), the Google Play services will stop working,we suggest you don`t update the new firmware to EMUI 9.0 (Andoird 9.0)..or choose Global Firmware,Global firmware no problem."
Does it mean i can t have Gapp with android 9 on chinese version ?
Can i change firmware to global version ? if i can i need to unlock bootloader i presume ?
Thx

Rubbish
Google is working on China and global version.
China version stick with China region on setup in appgallery, then search for Google play, it'll show up, then update it. For some annoying reason it's installed but hidden it china mate 20 X version
Maybe OK Google won't work properly on China version. That's about it really

so why they write this thing ??? if we can udpate to android 9 and playstore works fine ?

Im using chinese mate 20 X phone. Every Huawei phones has gms by default. There is no need to install anything. Just login in your Google account from settings thats it

Buddy, mate 20x default comes with Android 9.0 (Pie); EMUI 9 buy Chinese ROM if you have the patience to do a lot of modifications etc..
else, please buy the international variant and use it as out of the box.

Mate 20X isn't Honor 8x!! I have the China version 20x (EVR-AL00) and as stated earlier it comes with EMUI 9.0.0 pre-installed and had to install playstore via Huawei's app store then install thw Google apps I wanted. And everything worked. That was before I unlocked the bootloader (jumped on getting a code early and before code db got closed) and have been running globalized custom rom ever since. Now Ressurrection Remix rom just released this morning for 20x and will give this amazing phone the AOSP support it deserves.

Someone said that the GMS has been installed in expensive phone of Huawai, such like mate20,p20.... . But not for the cheap phone - honor 8x. So Mate 20x can install google play directly.
My honor 8x /emui 8.2 can install google play after I installed the GMS . But I can't find the GMS installer for emui 9.0.

Indian rom on global version device.

Could please someone let me know if I can install Indian rom on global version phone, and please share the way to install.

Yes, You can Install it.
The Process are
- Unlock Bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool.
- Download Fastboot Rom of Indian Version.
- Download MiFlash Tool and while flashing, Don't Select "Clean all and lock" option. Just select only "Clean all" option to avoid brick issue.
*Note: Unlocking Bootloader will erase user data. If device got brick, only option to fix it is to take it to service center.

I'm gonna do this tonight, been waiting 7 days to unlock bootloader, just for this.
The only reason I'm doing this is to get stock MIUI Dialer and messaging app, with default call recording built-in.
Can someone confirm this?

Yas miui dialer and message apps are available in Indian rom

But there is no NFC on Indian rom, right?

No NFC hardware in device itself. So, No NFC in Indian Rom.

So have you done it and did it Work? I don't wanna brick my phone while doing this.

Alexa does work but make sure to turn off Alexa hands-free in the notification toggle. My device couldn't play audio, auto-brightness didn't work and videos were sped up. After turning it off everything worked again.
NFC is nowhere available, not as a toggle and not in the settings.

Actually way more boring than I thought. Flashed the China Rom after that and that also sucked. I'm now back on EEA

Can you also tell how to install the Android 10 rom on Indian device? I've been waiting for so long but the Indian Rom is still stuck on 11.0.4

Android 10 hasn't been launched yet in india or on global rom but might come in a week or 2 since china already received it.

Hello. My miui version is Global 11.0.4. Can I install Indian Rom with version 11.0.2?

If your bootloader is unlocked and you flash the whole Rom using fastboot, it should not be a problem.
I've read about some anti-rollback 'feature' on some roms, but that would be from Android 10 I think.
Both the versions you mentioned being Android 9 they should not have it.
PS: If you flash IN Rom you are going to loose NFC.

Having the preloader and lk already installed as the megathread intrudes, just need to follow the same steps indicated here?
Do I need to reinstall it after the flash of the Indian version?
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Indonesian or Malaysian rom does have the mi dialer with call recorder and NFC support?
I have a global device with the indian rom because the call recorder but I need the NFC too.

no it doesn't only global devices rom get nfc hardware so is software support , conclusion is any device sold officially outside india is global rom and have nfc , i tried indian rom but problem is to make something like that you need to make a custom rom with these features which is nearly impossible because mediatek doesn't care about its' customers and its' restrictions are beyond insane , that's why xiaomi.eu ended support for mediatek phones because of bad platform and crazy restrictions that blocks developers from having freedom that they get on snapdragon platform , it's not xiaomi's fault.

You can switch from chinese to global rom(or indian rom if you want inbuilt call recording option) after unlocking bootloader and debloat it all after rooting..Or maybe just flash custom roms .

Hello Robert
I have ordered CN version Oct, and i have been using it ever since. Out of the box you will get 18w charger with adapter which is very good, i live in Bosina, both sims are working fine 4G works too. There is not much to be worried about in CN version it works great it gets latest builds of MIUI (compared to other versions). Only thing that was kinda a nitpick and kinda annoying for me from start is that you get few standard Chinese apps that you can delete, and some of main Mi apps keep giving notifications in CN like mi videos and very other few, but rarely and they can be blocked. When you power on a device for a first time and creating Mi account you will have to install gapps which you can do over integrated mi store as i can remember (just type google no need for Chinese fonts). After doing that and logging into your google account i recommend you to unlock bootloader, you will have to make a request for unlocking it takes 160+ hours for it to get approved. Install xiaomi.eu rom which is cleaned and optimized CN miui for global users with xiaomi devices and regular updates and builds. I am currently using xiaomi.eu rom its fast, it has also ability to update it with updater in system. Anyway it is up to your preference what you want from device, you can try to install global firmware without unlocked bootloader you can try, if you want or some other custom rom with unlocked bootloader.
Best regards

Android 11 update and Google Play Services Error

Hello,
Recently I have received MIUI 12.1.1 Stable update with Android 11.0 into my Redmi K30 5G device (China ROM). Since then some apps (like- GBoard and certain ride sharing apps) keep showing errors - "This application requires Google Play Services, which is not installed in your system" and simply keeps crashing.
However I have latest Google Play Services (version 20.42.65) and Google Play Store (version 22.8.42) installed and most of the apps are working fine.
I can't understand what's the real issue here!
Does those applications don't have Android 11 support yet or something like that? or is it a bug of MIUI 12.1.1 ROM?

i was using the china rom and i had some error too, with the keyboard, sync, wifi debugging and etc . last friday i installed xiaomi.eu, working fine with magisk, adblock. i do recomend installing it, cause china rom is kinda limited. its a simple process, require some pacience and time, but likely in 30 minutes you will be using w/ every bloatware you can have from google.

Miui 12.1.6 RGICNXM seems to work ok google services framework 11 which previously would return a provider conflict error on earlier chinese rom necessitating the use of GSF 10 that may or may not be the cause of some google apps to not work e.g google meet. You could probably try updating if flashing the eu rom is not an option.

Hello Everyone,
I too had the same issues.
I am currently using Redmi K30 5g(China ROM).
I had received an update from Xiaomi regarding Android 11.
After updating I had the same issues as you.
Best Option:
Unlock Bootloader and downgrade to Android 10 version update.
Your phone will be working fine then.
For Redmi K30 5g(CHINA ROM) I would suggest downgrading to MIUI 12.0.7.
The problem would be solved.
NOTE:
Don't forget to lock the bootloader again.
Do not update your phone again till the problem is solved.

Question Can I upgrade LE2121(IND) to US OxygenOS 12 Beta

Hi,
I have read many people moving regions or installing different regions ROM. I have a 9 pro with latest IND update. I would like to try the Android 12 based OxygenOS 12 US version.
I bought the phone when I visited
India but I live in US.
Is there a step by step guide to do this? If this is too Risky I am happy to switch to OxygenOS 11 US version.
I am a newbie in this space. I will much appreciate if you could pls be elaborate with your response.

Just download Open Beta zip to root of storage, then select it in local update (press three dots on update page)
You don't need unlock or third party tool.
Actually, I think you don't need to use US since bands are not affected by firmware.
Also IN is the best variant, only IN has theme store and update is rolled out sooner than US.

Thank you. What about battery. My battery drains like crazy. All standard apps drain battery on this phone Outlook, Google photos, Whatsapp etc. I go from 100% to 70% in 3 hours and I have battery saver on and all optimizations on.
I was hoping the regional update my clear anything that might be wrong with this phone. Any suggestions 9?
