Hi guys I just want to know what the difference between the Chinese rom and the EU rom is as I want to debrand my frd al00 and change it to the EU rom as the Chinese rom seems to be weird for e.g. play store can't install some apps, app compatibility issues, no Google assistant and for some weird reason long press on home button launches hiassistant and i can't disable the aosp keyboard as I want to use gboard without the little language change icon. Is the Chinese rom that different?
Plz help
Also I don't seem to be getting notifications properly
European is better than Chinese of you want to use Google services, other than that, they are the same.

Android keyboard AOSP does not have gesture typing. You need the Google keyboard for that.
anybody know why i cant download it from play? it says i cant download from my country, im italy, ive set italin on phone, the phone is a moto g with DE firmware
@up there is no option installing it from play. Here is topic on xda:[link] download the Latest Version from first post and install it on your phone.
I flashed my Xiaomi Mix 2S with Android P developer preview verison the second day after I purchased it, because I am a heavy user of Google apps and I like the clean stock Android ROM (used to own three Nexus phones). Now I am aware that Xiaomi won't provide stock Android Pie ROM, I guess I should starting looking for alternatives (which provide security patches constantly).
When I tried the MIUI Chinese version (I am living in China now), I actually liked its gesture (not the one in stock Android version) and full screen features. Stock Android P/Pie leaves a black strip at the bottom for gesture navigation which doesn't look as pretty as MIUI. And MIUI's gesture (slide from anywhere on the screen) is more convenient in my opinion. So I could change to Android-Pie-based MIUI (international version of course because I want to use Google) after Xiaomi releases it. But my biggest concern is, does the international version also collect and upload user's data like the Chinese version? I try to avoid those kind of apps as much as I can (I only install apps from Play Store) and always disable unnecessary permissions in the apps.
Or, is there any other ROMs (hopefully Android Pie based version would be published quickly) which is suitable for Mix 2S's full display?
I'd recommend you MIUI builds from xiaomi.eu
They include a combination of features from china and international roms and exclude the nasty stuff from both.

I'll try that, after the Android Pie version is released, along with some anti spyware app that some people have suggested to see if the nasty stuff was indeed excluded. Thank you very much!
How bad is the os? i understand i can only install a third party launcher in the global version. I saw this one in amazon https://www.amazon.com/Snapdragon-A...C6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= could anyone tell me if it's the global version or not? Also, could i use substratum on it?. Also, is it possible to modify the swipe from the bottom for settings ? is the screen as good as the note 8? (phone i currently own). How good are the cameras? does the assistant button trigger google assistant on the global version? thanks everyone
Hi. I am using vivo nex s global and first thing i installed was nova launcher. It's more comfortable for me. I can't compare display with note 8 but i heard it is very similar. AI button can be set to Google assistant. And to that cameras: selfie camera is good but not the best and main cameras are somwhere between iphone 7 and iphone 8. Especially in low light

I don't have any problems or complaints with Funtouch. I have yet to use other launchers, but if I did, I'd probably would have complaints as I would've conformed to the other launcher.
The picture below shows the bottom slide up menu using gestures. The red circle shows settings icon when you slide up to access this menu. You can't assign a gesture for settings, but you can switch gesture location from left to right.
Reading the questions about playstore, seller says it can be installed. Global version comes with it pre-installed. Also seller says nova can't be used. I think it's Chinese version and not global, I'd avoid.

So I just received met 12S Ultra yesterday here in the USA. I ordered from Giztop.com They pre-installed google services so no issues there.. I have a T-Mobile sim in the phone and seems to be working.
Questions....
First I installed the "Google" app and it worked yet now it has disappeared on my screen and I can't search for it either though its shows installed on the PlayStore.. Any ideas and is it possible to have the Google news feed show up when I do a swipe right like you can in most phones. I am coming from IOS so bare with me.
Are there any good launchers that can mimic a stock android experience without having to root the phone etc... I want something simple.
I did order the Xiaomi 12S Ultra case and think its great add protection to the camera module.
Lastly does this phone have a screen protector that is installed already by the factory
thanks
It will run if you just select bootloader can be unlocked in dev settings. Install Nova launcher and select google integration.
It would not run without Nova ( china bans google) and Nova wouldnt run without the bootloader switch.
Thanks for your help. I did what you said yet after I installed Nova Launcher I cannot set the Default Home Screen to Nova Launcher. Gives me error message
Something about third parties mistune verified by MIUI..
Sugestions ?
As I said, switch the allow bootloader to be unlocked in dev section. You can then install. I'm sure that's all I did but while in the menus, ensure security settings are allowing 3rd party apps etc.. my dev settings attached.
Thanks I will double check
Also how can I change the play store to the default when I try to select google integration in Nova it takes me to the Xiaomi store
Lastly is there anyway to keep gestures when using a third party launcher right now it says gestures are not supported using third party launcher’s
You need to select Nova as the launcher from within Nova Settings, not the phone settings.

You need to download and install Google integration
I successfully installed the Google Integration app.
In regards to "System navigation" is there anyway for Nova to use Gestures at this point. Right now it will not let me switch to Gestures...
Finally if and when Xiaomi does release a "International" version of the 12S Ultra will it possible to install that ROM instead of the Chinese version?
Not sure about the gestures but yes, you can change ROM, if they do and they say that they not currently due to shortages.
The Xiaomi EU group will be adding Thor (12s Ultra ) to their released ROM collection. Pop over to their forum for more info when they release their version. You will need to unlock your bootloader (168 hour wait between starting and actually unlocking the bootloader) and flash the ROM using fastboot (and format) if there is no TWRP when they do.
Once flashed, it will behave as if the bootloader is locked, so everything works. They release a stable and a weekly (or beta) version of nearly all supportable Xiaomi phones. You will need to decide which version you want as you cannot change without a further format (due to partition differences between them).
It is based on the Chinese releases but fully useable by all. More info about what their ROMs contain can be found on their ROM release. Hope it helps, I'm not try to teach you to suck eggs but I don't know your level of knowledge.
@Sathelp thanks for all your help.
Hmm what I really need is Android Auto to work though I am not sure this will ever happen.
I know just enough to be dangerous I guess.
Would something like this work?
Replace MIUI with Stock Android — Detailed Guide - xiaomiui
Xiaomi users who see Google Pixel users have dreamed of replace MIUI with stock Android at least once. Because when compared to MIUI, Pixel devices have a
xiaomiui.net
The 11ultra has now a version of stock android. It is in its infancy but as 11ultra had a global release there was more chance that someone would develop one, where the 10 didn't and 12ultra doesn't look like a global release.
Users do have Xiaomi EU working with android auto and this because of the full implementation of the Google framework so there is hope yet for you. Just keep browsing the Xiaomi EU group forums as well as here.

Google Discover/Feed is not available in the MIUI 13 Chinese ROM.
Yuu will need to use a 3rd party launcher (e.g. I use and recommend Nova and Nova-Companion plug in)

Go into Nova app settings and set the default launcher in there (that works I tested it)
See screenshot, I can select from miui menu too.
Hello; This is my fisrt experience with Mi 12 as I moved from Redmi 4 prime (what a jump ), but I noticed that xiaomi has integrated the Google phone dialer instead of MiUi dialer which used to be much better in my older phone.
After reading about that I knew that Xiaomi wants to agree with google about their ploicy not to use manufacturer dialer apps, but I heared that we can flash the dialer and the contacts like what we do with Gapps, is that trure? or the only solution would be the "Indonesian ROM"?
Thanks for help with that

Actually am not sure if China ROM would work fine with me, and what is the difference between it and Global ROM? and will this ROM in the thread you put is official Stock ROM? would it void the warranty? will I still get the official updates from Xiaomi? Thanks for your reply

These roms are custom roms, for your device based on chinese roms.
Two roms: Stable and Weekly, the latter receiving the latest features and updated once a week.
You will need to unlock the bootloader to install them, the warranty still works.
Normally the warranty stops if you install a custom rom.
In the event of a brick at the software level, you can always recover the phone and in the event of a brick at the hardware level with a custom rom, many have reported that Xiaomi had carried out the repairs without problems.
These roms have playstore certified with many modifications and options.(currently Miui 14 A13).
If you have a Chinese version, you cannot lock the bootloader on another version of rom, you will have to root the phone and use Magisk to have the play store certified.
