Chinese to EUR or NA rom - ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers

I am not knowledgeable enough but is it possible to take a base Chinese rom and develop a rom with Google services? The over agressive killing of things like Google Assistant is extremely annoying. I know that the partitioning is different so it is not as simple as simply copying system images over and the Chinese rom appears to use a diffrent method of compression. Does anyone have any information on this?

Why rebrand from AL00 to L29 if AL00 has English option?

Serious question. I understand many want to rebrand Chinese ROM to international L29 ROM. But why? My understanding is that you can change AL00 system language to English and you can install Google Play (and services). You can even uninstall all the Chinese bloatware apps via Huawei's Application Store manager app.
So what are the pros and cons? Surely there will be more updates too with the AL00 ROM considering Huawei is a Chinese manufacturer?
So why debrand? Why not just stick to AL00 and do all the above? What am I missing?
Personally I use chineese ROM in Europe from beginning, the updates on alc00 seems to be faster and chineese had more optional features like translating from chineese, or object recognitionin camera, on nougat in chineese ROM you can aalso hide nav bar, my network on 4g/lte working as fine as on Europe rom
On China ROM I suggest to flash core Google apps and make factory reset. Full version of gaaps can mess a lot and replace original Huawei package installer, gallery or calendar.
In addition to gahu777 post.
Pros of Chinese ROM:
- HiSuite and eRecovery support. In some cases it will rescue time and nerves
- Faster ROM release cycle
- Beta ROMs program
Cons:
- Some Chinese symbols in dialer. You have to install 3rd-party dialer to avoid.
- Bad Google Apps support. Chinese ROM has Google Apps, but in some cases they don't work or are not work properly. Example: geolocation history:

There is one thing what is not bad and not good:
Behavior of memory killer. On chinese ROM it is more aggressive than on world ROMs. You have to tune apps to get instant notifications from these apps
Another inconvenience: GPS location errors (in my case several km ... :crying
Otherwise, the Chinese applications had a certain charm , with a beautiful graphics, but not speaking Mandarin, I made big stupid
Since the transformation from AL00C00 to AL29C636, everything is fine & I will not come back :good:

DOOV L520

Hi,
I've just been given a phone from China. The phone is called the DOOV L520 which operates Yun OS. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on rooting it so I can get google play services installed and remove Chinese bloatware or possibly wiping the whole thing and installing regular android.

De-google my Phone! Need advice and tutorials....

Hi Guys,
I have a OnePlus 6 (oxygenOs rooted) and am very satisfied so far. I've been extremely bothered recently by google and Facebook and Instagram tracking us, thats why I want to de-googling my Oneplus 6. I am not a professional and would like to ask you for help. I did some research on the internet and read a lot about LineageOs and MicroG. I also tried / e / rom and some apps don't work without google services like Line and some apps.
Is there a manual somewhere where I can de-googgle my cell phone and all apps work as with google? I would prefer to lead on oxygen OS or hyrogenOs if these apps would work without google services.
I would be very happy about your tips.
Thanks in advance
greetings
Coktail
ciao
you have to get microG, if you go on their post you will have enought info (and app)
there Is also a magisk module for microG
and an unofficial zip installer (that I suggest, since It could replace Gapps keeping the most of google funtionality)
anyway a lot of google stufs could not work
contact and calendar there are a lot of post discussing
pay, search, assistant, discovery, maps, autofill, maybe netflix
some of them could be easily replaced, others no way...
and, It could be preferible run microG on a gapp-free rom, as omni, syberia, crDroid, etc

Hello, thank you for reply. As i read before oxygen os cant run microG. Hydrogen Os is google free
but not have signature spoofing. I like this rom cause i like the ui and can run paralel apps.
So there is no possibility to run microG with oxy or hdyrogen os? I need Line app.
If you know a solution would be nice if you can post a link.
what you think about /e/rom?(its android9)
thanks alot
best regards

Hydrogen nowadays Is Google free, but it is designer for china market (there are other services inside, at the end It Is worse)
There are also app to make parallel space (i used Island in the cast)
but there are also different client for the most common apps, so you can simply use 2 of them on the same phone account
(example WhatsApp + FMWhatsApp, maybe cloud backup will not work, so it's up to you ti select the best way they fit your needs)
You have to make experiments by your own, because you only can check what is the best option for your usage

I have a Hydrogen phone and i first wanted to change it to oxygen but after some tweaking it's going well.
First install feem : file transfer program works on every os ... http://feem.io ...it has some advertising but the best there is.
i've got rit of all the chinese software on the phone.
installed a new gui ... nova http://novalauncher.com/
installed acmarket : another market not associated with google.
now you can still install google software if you want to.
i even deleted the chinese browser and
mmm ... ok deleting chinese browser... but pay attention with alternative store
official apps in the PlayStore some times have malware or they sold your data to thirthies...
i wont immagine what can happend on a store where "common people" contributes on It...
let say, Google can make mistakes, anyway it's better than not checking at all... (it"'s a general discussion, i don't know feem in details)
You also are able to use Lineage OS and just don't install Google Apps. There you go. There is also F-Droid as a source for apps.

Suggestion for MI 10 Pro Chinese to Global or just Gapps?

Hey guys, just got the MI 10 Pro Chinese version. Wondering if there's a seamless way to change it to the Global version OR should I just consider finding and adding the latest Gapps to it?
Anyone using just Google Apps and if the experience is the same as any global rom?
Also if someone can point me to the correct global rom thread and where to find the latest Gapps?
Thanks!
I am also wondering something along the lines of this. I have a Mi 10 ultra on Chinese Official Rom and have had some issues relating to your question. I basically debloated the device to the max and added all the Google apps and play store. It works quite well after some tweaking to get it the way I liked it. I do have some issues. 1. Basically cant get the assistant app to work. The main reason is the permissions keep getting reset requiring my reapproval each time its activated which kind of defeats the purpose. same thing happens to the phone and message google apps where the phone defaulted to the Mi stock dialer and message. not sure why. 2. I get random updates settings changed. Like one time I had a new AOD image. No idea why. 4. Some minor random updates like 1 every 3 days. These are the biggest issues ive noticed so far. Overall this device is awesome so I'd personally prefer it to be Gapps optimized but I don't want to fool with having a rooted device and the hoops involved in use since I use my phone for work and play.

Do you want MIUI ROMs with MIUI Dialer/Message apps instead of Google Dialer?

We see nowadays all MIUI global ROMs are coming with Google dialer and Google messages apps, I am actually not sure why this is happening there must be some reason behind it. I pressure google is trying to incorporate the chat functionality within the messaging app similar to Whatsapp/ Telegram. But I don't see that is working as of now in the Google message app, it is still looking for a working MMS option that involves additional cost. So there is no point using this at this moment.
Due to this reason, many people are moving to EU ROMs as they are maintaining MIUI dialer and message apps which are more comfortable and reliable integration with MIUI themes. Everyone may not be technical enough to move to EU ROMs easily. So all put together join your hands and let Xiami know the fact that people are looking for MIUI dialer/Messages in all upcoming ROMs.
I like as little bloat as possible on my phone, so Google apps all the way. Hell I wish all phones were in the Android One program, or at least there were more contemporary Android One options.
