How to install google app for HTC U11+ china version

Hi all,
I bought one HTC U11+ china version, without google apps.
How to How to install google apps for it.
Pls help me. Thks so much

Hi,
Are you sure that you need to install google apps again on a Google Android smart phone? or china version has a deep-modified knockoff Android?
If so, I think you may wait for S-OFF patiently, then write a different CID and flash with ROMs from normal world.

You must not know much about chinese devices lol, it is common that they come without google services if on chinese firmware.
No google services = no playstore or apps and other missing items.

Debloat vs. Remove MIUI?

Hey all,
I am almost done with my waiting time for unlocking the bootloader. I am not sure if I should be flashing Xiaomi.eu or not. My aim from this is that I want to remove everything from MIUI that track and harvest data. I do not care if I continue to have MIUI or move to any other ROM.
Anyway, I noticed that my Mi 10 Ultra keeps running the following apps:
- Analytics.
- GetApps.
- Mi Browser.
- AI Call Assistant (what is that? Why do I need a call assitant?)
- NetworkLocation (What is that? Is it collecting any data?)
I have already stopped all the permission and uninstalled all the updates of those apps from the settings. They still manage to download themselves on my stock ROM and continue to function!
Anyway, I did not find any ROM to install other than Xiaomi.eu to be honest. But, it still has Analytics. But, they gave it a different name. The only good thing is that they claim that they have removed all bloats and they decreased the data collection to its minimum.
Moving on, I have tried ([ADB DEBLOAT] MIUI 12.0.8 List). I did not filter ones I want to remove. I just removed everything mentioned. My phone showed a loading screen which says Just a Sec. I waited for a while and then restarted the phone because, it did not move anywhere from there. So, I have decided to restart and... My phone was locked. It was locked for a day and then I was able to unlock it after I did a hard reset.
I do not want to go through that again. So, I am waiting for my bootloader to unlock before doing anything to my device.
So, here are my questions:
1- Is there no Custom Rom that is compatible with Mi 10 Ultra other than Xiaomi.eu? What are my options here?
2- If I installed Xiaomi.eu. What are things that I should be removing? And do I have to sign in to Mi account again after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks in advance,

I think currently there are no custom ROM for Mi 10 Ultra yet, only official china rom and EU rom atm.
I am running the 20.9.24 weekly EU rom currently, the rom removed almost all china exclusive app (mi wallet and etc). You probably do not need to remove anything. Yes, you need to login to MI account again.

It'll be fine. You can choose NOT to login to Mi Account after installing EU ROM.

Any recommendations on what to do next please?

Hi all,
I have a Poco X3 NFC on 12.0.8 (MIUI Global) purchased in the UK.
Android version 10
What I have currently done today:
Unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP
What I should do next:
?????
I have a few questions below please:
Am I now allowed to log out of my mi account and take the sim out (the phone will stay unlocked?)
Can I use the same sim to do the same unlock bootloader process on another Xiaomi device now that my Poco X3 has been unlocked if I use a new Mi account?
Should I root the phone? If so how do I do this please?
How can I get the system launcher (on other Xiaomi phones such as Redmi Notes 9 Pro, Mi 10T lite 5G, etc) as I am not a fan of the default Poco launcher as I do not like how you swipe up and it shows all the apps (unless there is a way to change that function to something else?)
If I install a custom rom such as Arrow OS can I revert back to the default rom/Android version easily aka in the rom we initially get when we purchased the phone if something goes wrong?
If I install a custom rom do I have to backup everything up (how can I do this) before moving to another rom? I am just worried about having to re-install all my apps that I have downloaded from the Playstore or other sideloaded apps.
Which rom is best for you guys or do you prefer the default for now?
Really not sure what to do with the phone atm it's literally just sitting here after being unlocked and TWRP installed.
Thank you

I don't have this phone but the sim has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader. You don't even need a sim card to unlock a bootloader.
I was under the impression that TWRP required a rooted phone so I'm not sure how you got it installed.
There are several 3rd party launcher's, Nova and lawnchair come to mind.

It asked me to use my mobile data to unlock the bootloader so a sim is needed. TWRP is installed on the device and my device is not rooted. Think I may get the phone rooted now.

Yes, you are allowed to do so. And your phone will stay unlocked.

Yes, you can. I use the same simcard to unlock all of my Mi Phone.

If you're just use your phone as basic daily phone. NO need to root.
If you want to play further with Android, YES, you should root it. The best option for me is to use Magisk.

To install launcher, just search on google play, you could install it directly as another app.
I bet you're willing to keep all the apps in homescreen instead of using android drawer. IF so, yes, please install another launcher.
But if you just want to put all the shortcut of your apps to homescreen, you could enable ‘Add installed apps to the Home screen automatically’ in launcher setting.

What are you referring with easily? It's not easy to install a custom rom, as well as install the stock rom. But it's possible, just google it.

You could use google cloud backup to backup installed app from playstore.
For sideloaded apps, you could use 3rd party app (I use Titanium Backup) to backup the app and even the data. But, the chance to restore the app between OS (MIUI to custom rom) is low. And restore the data is lower, even more you can crash that particular app by doing so (just delete the data if you face it).

What is the full rom name?
Your model is 22061218C, code name zizhan?
These questions, because of the multilanguage, because this model is for the Chinese market and the stock roms are all CN.(Chinese,English).

Thanks for your quick reply
Is my attschment enough for info ?

Stock Rom, can you confirm the model: all specs/model

Check my second attachment

Everything matches.
If you go to update it, check for updates?
The bootloader is locked?

22061218C

Update says "can't download updates"
I had the Xiaomi Fold 2 last year too and after a factory reset that phone and had English language and all the stock Chinese apps.
This Fold 2 has multi language after reset and also has all Google apps installed by default and none of the stock Chinese apps.

Have you tried with WIFI and/or changing regions?
Bootloader?

Yes tried with wifi.
What you mean with change region?
And what is bootloader?

What you mean with change region?
Settings/additional parameters/région
And what is bootloader?
BL lock is short for BootLoader. It is a small program that runs before the operation of the operating system kernel. In an effort to prevent third-party apps from hacking into the three-party batch system and modifying the system configuration file, which may lead to user information leaking, Mi phone has added BL lock. When reinstallation or ROOT is required, the BL lock must be unlocked before the operation can proceed.
If you unlock it you can install the rom you want and relock it.

Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions from my side
Which region should I try ?
And how do I check this bootloader thing?

My device seems unlocked. So I have to lock it back ?

Nope, if you want to install a MIUI14 version.

Yes I want to but can you help me out how ?

If you are not at the origin of the unlocking and the device was purchased new, the seller unlocked the bootloader to install Google services and multilanguage, which would explain why you do not receive updates.
By flashing the latest MIUI 14 version, you will have to reinstall everything.

That's no problem to reinstall everything.
How do I do this "flashing to MIUI14" exactly ?

Question How to tell if it needs EEA or GOBAL (without checking settings)?

I have a poco x3 pro purchased in europe. The label says EU on the receipt. I don't remember the MUI version it shipped. I want to flash the original rom because I want to go back from custom roms. What do I do?

Europe is EEA.

Ok the original problem was figuring out if it was really European or not (didn't trust the thing).But now I flashed it... Removed the bloatware... Wish I could stay with LOS+micro g but some services (like government bonuses and carriers) don't like lack of google play services and lack of safetynet. I could use magisk (and I did) but I was scared about stability. I don't want to have to troubleshoot a safetynet check when I really need it. Really wanna buy a pixel now with all the Chinese bull**** it is filled with...

If you want a ROM that passes Safetynet out of the box and supports microG, you can try CrDroid and install a MinMicroG package to have microG installed on the system
