Hi Friends,
I purchased a MATE 9 from HK and brought it to the USA. Model MHA-AL00 (6GB/128GB). 4G and most other functions work as expected. Don't like the constant notifications for Chinese HiSuite etc updates.
I've already done two factory pushed firmware updates in the 2 weeks I've owned it and I'm now on MHA-AL00C00B153. The following apps/programs were NEVER part of any firmware build for my phone...but are part of the European/Int'l build:
- Smart Controller IR
-Compass
-WiFi Calling
-possibly others I haven't discovered yet.
Until I work up the guts to do a full rebranding to the European/Int'l firmware, can anyone help me find the APKs so that I could install the 3 above programs? BTW - aftermarket Google Play IR and compass programs work..but I hate all the ads in these offerings.
Thank you in advance.

tldr:
What are the advantages of installing the EU ROM over just keeping the Chinese ROM and customizing it? Are there any functions that stop working and/or change for the worse?
Hi everyone. Hopefully this post will be a helpful resource if someone else wonders this same question.
For a while I had my eye on the Mi Mix 3 and after reading all the reviews I just had to get it. I wanted one with 8 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of memory so I got the Chinese variant. After reading post after post on how to change the ROM to EU or Global I finally asked why? I mean, I got the phone and promptly loaded the Google Play Store and downloaded a bunch of apps. I changed the launcher to "Poco Launcer" from the GP Store since it's basically the same as MIUI but with an app drawer, so I'm cool with that. That beings said...
What are the advantages and drawbacks of installing the EU ROM (the one I kinda decided on between the two alternates)? The only two things that bother me about the Chinese ROM are
1) The default assistant is in Chinese and you can't change the AI button to open a different one, even though you can still install the others and use them by opening the app.
2) Some of the Apps in the "App vault" (Their little slide right home screen) and the tools when you open the slider are Chinese apps that I have no interest in using, but you can't change them. My solution to this was to turn off the app vault and to make the slider do nothing, which is okay I guess.
So basically, what would I gain by switching ROMs, and what pitfalls exist in those alternate ROMs which might make a person think twice about changing?
Why run MIUI at all?
Don't waste anymore time and just flash it already. it's better and I'm not wasting my time explaining why.

Because MIUI works. In your signature the top one is for the "Pixel Experience" and it's 90 pages of people complaining about features that don't work or are partially broken. The culmination is on the last page where it's revealed that it's not under development anymore followed by people complaining about functions that STILL DON'T WORK.

I don't mean to waste anyones time, and especially not my own. All I need to know is, will any of the features of my phone be problematic after I flash?
Also, does that link you provided require this "twrp" thing I've read about or is it fastboot? Is it the EU version?

It will work fine, it's just a tweaked version of Chinese Dev stock rom with less bloat. Their website explains the features over global
You need twrp to install it
Alright, let's do this!

Actually, #1 is no longer valid. The ai button can be remapped in the chinese ROM if you are ROOTED because I have done it, so, if you are ROOTED, scoot on over to:

and get that ai button remapped.

Everything works on the Chinese devices, other than being able to link an action to the slider. Most of the problems are to do with initial installation, but this is the way every rom thread ends up, people only post when they have problems.

No, you just need to install twrp and install the global zip. Then format data and reboot
According to the official statement of realme resources, Android 10 update is scheduled on month of January 2020. Now we are expecting that update very soon.
Although the beta version of Android 10 for Realme 3 pro was launched far before many but Now Many of its competitor phones available in markets have already launched the stable OS with Android 10 even before stable update for Realme 3 Pro.
So we can say, However that was scheduled as it is but still its getting late.
Realme fans are expecting a promissed "Near to stock UI" with Android 10. Believe us its really hard to count the tick tick of Clock. Waiting for a sooper dooper update for our phones.
Best wishes Realme Team....
#realme3pro #android10 #Update
Finally android 10 update is out !
Are we befooled by the download link on xda for Realme 3 pro new Android 10 Update???
Recently, We got a news on xda, in which we were told that the Android 10 update with Realme 3 pro is available for download.
The ozip file download link was given in the Post too. many of members including me downloaded the file. and we found that the file was just failed to install.....
Was that link fake? or some other problem incurred there?
guide me please...

The link wouldn't install. The update is being rolled out in stages. So no need to try installing the package again. Wait for the full ozip file to be uploaded to the official Realme website. You can flash it manually. Or wait till you get the notification for the new update. It will come soon in about a week or so.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
The link you saw might most probably be the one provided to beta testers. So it is not the final version which is being delayed to avoid providing bugs to the whole community of users. The final version will be directly provided to users via OTA updates and will also be uploaded to the software update center of Realme website. It is rumoured to be rolled out in the ratio 5% users first, then 10% and so on.
As expected, the initial release did have some bugs which prompted them to release another update today. So it is better to wait for the company to fix all the bugs and release a stable update for all.
How much time it could take probably for all users to get stable update?

Most probably it will be released in this week. However it will still be released in batches. Which means it might take another week after the official release to reach all the consumers. However you will be able to download the ozip for manual installation right after the official release this week.
[Assuming no major bugs found till then]

Yeah, I had a Realme 5 Pro a while ago and returned it due to not liking ColorOS as much as MIUI. However, I'd consider getting another one if Realme UI resolves the various annoyances.

as personal opinion, what do you not like in ColorOS specifically. I mean what should be in Realme UI???
Personally i hate the boring notifications panel in ColorOS.... icons are boring too.

Coming from MIUI, I feel that ColorOS 6 lacks polish. My issues were minor, but when you have MIUI and ColorOS side by side, it's easy to identify shortcomings.
I hated having the signal and wifi icons on the left of the status bar. It reminded me of iOS. I thought the permanent auto-rotate icon next to battery icon in the status bar was pointless. The navigation keys are annoyingly faint and slightly too large. The notification centre is permanently displayed below the quick settings, even when there are no notifications. ie. A single swipe down gives you a full page with your quick settings and notification centre. There's no one swipe for one row of quick settings.
The recent apps menu is very basic. You can lock an app and add an app to split screen, but that's t. There's no shortcut to go to an app's settings like there is in MIUI and stock android.
I think most of these have been resolved in Realme UI, though I'm waiting for more people to confirm once the updates rolls out.
I might get another Realme 5 Pro or wait for the Realme 6 Pro, though I have no idea when that will arrive.

First things first. I love my Mate 9, and will probably use it till death do us part....
However, the quality of the front and back camera has decreased significantly with EMUI 9.1 update (EMUI 9 included). The autofocus in the video has become worse, stabilization isn't as it should be, and it loses focus continuously, and sometimes the video becomes blurry.
I have read on different forums that many phones had this issue with EMUI 9.1, but most have received fix (software version 295) which our phone has not (and will not) receive. So I am wondering is there a way to port and install old camera from EMUI 8 on EMUI 9? Or to port camera from different phone which has received a fix?
If not is it possible, via dload method (official way) to downgrade EMUI 9.1 to 8? My old P7 had this option (ages ago). My phone is on the latest available software 9.1.0.275 (C432E7R1P8).
I am most definitely sure that my phone does not have a camera hardware issue because I have replaced camera module, with no results (works the same).

TG, I don't have my Mate 9 anymore (and generally, no more Huawei phones to vare about)
First, be aware that Huawei removed the old firmwares and e.g. you can no more examine and download them by using FirmwareFinder.
You will have to find an alternative, trusted store with the old firmwares and with the appropriate info which of those firmwares are suitable for DLOAD (usually, not all firmwares were suitable for DLOAD, and that info was something easy to read from FirmwareFinder)
Second, Hawei changed the Bootloader sometime during the mid of 2018 - it was one (but not the last one) of EMUI 8 releases
It is a well known fact (search through XDA, not only for Mate 9) that downgrading from the new Bootloader (you do have with your EMUI 9) to any firmware with the old Bootloader causes an immediate hard brick, recoverable only by phisically opening the phone, short-cutting Test points and by flashing the board firmware (there was also a thread about the Test point method for Mate 9)
For more info, dive into the old threads and posts, it has been discussed two years ago (people were not aware about the new Bootloader and many Huawei users bricked their phones thinking that they could, as usual, downgrade their phones by DLOAD)
Hence, if you are going to downgrade to EMUI 8, you must downgrade to some of the latest versions that already had the same new Bootloader as you do have with your EMUI 9 (to avoid the brick)
Again, it was all easier when FirmwareFinder worked, because it was possible to distinguish (from date, Security patch, Changelog) which firmware came before or after the Bootloader change
Therefore, take a time and carefully study the old threads to find more info about the Bootloader change and hopefully the information what was the first c432 EMUI 8 build bXXX with the new Bootloader - you must not downgrade to any older firmware than to that one.
In other words, think twice before you attempt to downgrade to EMUI 8
On the other side, I'm pretty sure that stock camera apps are tied to the EMUI versions, i.e. that you could not 'extract' Huawei camera app from EMUI 8 and to 'install' it to EMUI 9
Of course these are just my thoughts and concerns. Please fill free to dive in and search through the old threads and posts.
As usual, you should be able to find all answers to your 'new' questions in those old posts
Unfortunately, the phone is no more supported, most users (specially the best hackers) have long ago moved to the other phones (they forgot the stuff and they no more read this Mate 9 forum to answer new questions), hence you could hardly expect a (quick and) knowledgeable answers/comments anymore
Dude, thank you very much on your reply. You see, there are still good users in this forum
I did some digging around, you are very much correct about downgrading via dload method.
However, I've discovered that Hisuite has an option of downgrading, one version at a time.
Now the question is, has Huawei made it safe to downgrade via this method (I'm guessing that they allow downgrade up to a certain point)? Can't find out what are official Huawei forums to ask the question.

As long as you are downgrading to EMUI 9.1 you should be safe.
Unfortunately, not sure how would HiSuite react if you try to cross the BL border (I cannot recall but maybe it would not even show the downgrade possibility then)
But I saw some other people complaining that even by HiSuite they cannot upgrade (hence I don't know would it really work or fail reporting that firmwarwe is not available or something)
You may try:
Huawei Firm Finder
Quickly, easily and freely find your Huawei phone's firmware. HiSuite Proxy's official integrated firmware finder.
www.firmfinder.ml
For the Phone Model, enter MHA-L29 (or Mha-l09, what was your model?), Region c432 and scroll down to EMUI 8.0 firmwares.
E.g., to b377, as on the screenshot
Take the URL of the File List (e.g., open and Share the address, Copy to Clipboard), here it will be:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/4f/v3/0c957c1e0789446d8411bc3853d78340/full/filelist.xml
Replace filelist.xml by changelog.xml:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hotaMigrate_900_9/4f/v3/0c957c1e0789446d8411bc3853d78340/full/changelog.xml
(By putting the update.zip instead to the URL, you will download b379 update.zip, etc - you can see the filenames in filelist.xml)
and open, you will read the ChangeLog for b377.
It says:
>>This update adds the Huawei GPU Turbo...
Although about Graphics, this is actually exactly where Huawei switched to the new Bootloader - downgrading fom b379 to b377 would brick the phone (however, if I recall correctly, one could not force that downgrade by any regular way - it would simply fail, but only by HWOTA8 method, root required - and then the downgrade would brick the phone)
But wait for more info, I'm checking now from ny old friend, Huawei guru (unfortunately no more active on XDA), what about downgrading from 9.1 to 9.0.1 and then to any 8.0, even b379 - if that was dangerous as well
In the mean time let me explain my frustration.
Imagine WRC finally arriving in your country. You manage to get off of work. The first day of rallying you carry old Lumia 950 (still use it as a work phone, works great for email) with you because I forgot to charge my mate. The pictures and video comes out great. The next day (being a little drunk of course) you find a perfect corner with a tree and it's branch over the corner (about 6 m tall). I climbed it and waited for the cars up there like a monkey just to take the perfect video of certain driver going for it (hint i20 driver), and the bloody slow motion video turns out like ****. Normal video a bit better (because re focusing is less noticable). The pictures didn't turn out good also (skilled eye will notice), despite perfect conditions for taking video and photos..... And it's all because of stupid software.
It kind of suck that lumia 950 takes better video and photo than mate 9....
Hello,
Not sure if it's the right place, but I'm getting depressed with my Xiaomi 12 behaviour. Since last update, MIUI global 13.2.4, the phone keeps killing apps, even if I set those with :
- not battery restriction
- auto startup
I tried a factory reset, I unlocked it, rooted it. It keeps killing apps. It's annoying, because I use Vivid and removed the navigation buttons. I let you imagine how I can be stuck sometimes when Vivid is killed. Yet, Vivid is locked... So MIUI regurlaty kills it, and sometimes, it even loses the accessibility autorisation.
How can I know what's killing it ? Obviousily, I'm not in Eco mode, and this behaviour also occurs in performance mode. Everything worked very fine until last update.

You are not the only one to have had problems following updates, the solution if it worked before, is to flash the previous rom or to use a Xiaomi EU rom.
Sometimes Xiaomi renames a Stable Beta to stable without fixing anything.

Previous ROM is in Android 12. Downgrading won't be a problem ? Keeps root ? EU Roms seem far behind.

Downgrading requires a clean flash and the root is lost along with your data.
Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
And disable the update.
EDIT:
I use a Xiaomi EU rom on my 12 pro and I have several apps that must remain in the background, works very well.
With a Xiaomi EU rom you will have the certified play store without root and lots of extra options.
This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

Go to this site if you need anything, the updates with beta roms on the stable channel do not date from today, many threads on this subject have been created without change since today the problem persists.
Reporting bugs via Services & Feedback hasn't changed anything either.
Note that since the redesign of their site, important threads have disappeared and even some devices.
As a reminder, it is the moderators of this site who report information, well that's just theory because in practice, nothing happens.
If you want answers from Xiaomi, tell them you want to buy a new phone because that's what they're interested in, selling.
I tell you this because at a certain time, I was active on this site, but some of my posts were deleted because I explained how to solve or work around the problem.
Sometimes by checking the hash of a beta rom and the following stable, it was the same.
The solution is to unlock the bootloader and downgrade or install a Xiaomi EU rom.

This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:

I'm kind of relieved that's I'm not the only one with this issue. For sure I dont take a xiaomi anymore. I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture unavailable with 3rd party launcher + this killing app bug, makes me regret not have taken a Samsung S22.
" I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture una aimable with 3rd party launcher"
Xiaomi blocks this function with third-party apps (not new).

Not new, but it's a detail you have trouble knowing before buying. With Vivid Gesture, I was plainly satisfied, but this new bug is really frustrating.
Regarding "Xiaomi EU rom", how well tested is it? Do they have an issue tracker and a list of known bugs?
I've rooted and flashed community ROMs in the past only to find out they are poorly tested / have horrible QA and although superficially they work fine other aspects didn't like Bluetooth, Android Auto or certain camera modes etc.
It has been a while though since I last attempted one, maybe things have moved on since then?
Xiaomi has removed so much of the Google framework that even push notifications isn't working. Take note that the Global ROM is based on the CN variant which is known for aggressive background killing of apps.
In Xiaomi's defense, they are "freeing up" up to 800mb of your internal storage by removing most of Google's API but in the expense of all the issues encountered by Global ROM users.
So if anyone is interested, I'm trying to see if disabling com.miui.powerkeeper works round this issue of background apps being killed in V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM .
I followed this tutorial:
How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com
Will report back if I notice any improvement.
Maybe someone more knowledgable might be able to tell me if there are any downside to disabling this package?
I am suffering the exact same problem with my device since the 13.2.4 update, what i nightmare to use the device since then ! As the other users already reported, it s even killing the alarm app which prevents it to ring ! But it also impacts all app notifications, like whatsapp, outlook, etc. After being killed I don't get the new notifications for those.
I can't believe that they are pushing such an update globally, they are gonna lose a lot of customers which such a poor strategy, as this is not just a "little" bug.
I am interested in the Xiaomi.EU rom, looks like they released one 2 days ago with version number 13.2.6, but I have to investigate if we can install that over our official version on an original EU device, and if it requires a full data wipe or not.

Welcome to XIAOMI.
You can check below the version of the rom proposed for the update, before performing it.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/cupid/
EDIT:
You can either update the rom with the update.bat file included in the Fastboot.zip folder but since it is an A13 version, it is preferable to format the data with the first install.bat file .
Obviously the bootloader must be unlocked.
Also remove the security from the lock screen and restart the system.
Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I just bought the phone, after a week I got that update and it made me completely regret that I bought it. Is there any "clean" way to return to the version of MIUI I bought the phone with?
Would a reset return me to the old version? Since i got almost nothing important in the phone, it wouldnt be a big deal.
