1. Xiaomi.eu rom is based on the China rom so has more features than the global rom.
2. Go to the Play Store and search for an app called Moves. This will track whatever you need.
3. Since you have the global version, you would need to install the global version (if you install Xiaomi.eu rom) to lock the bootloader again.
Hi, I've also bought a Mi Mix 3 global version, from amazon (it will be my first Xiaomi). I should receive it next Thursday. I plan to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and Magisk. I have found many useful infos in this section, but I'd still like to add a couple more questions:
- My desktop PC has a Ryzen CPU. Do I still need another computer to run Mi Unlock?
- Will I be able to install global OTAs, with TWRP?
- After installing TWRP and Magisk, I should skip formatting data and storage if I don't want to decrypt the phone, is it correct? Are there any advantages and/or drawbacks in running decrypted vs encrypted?
(With my current Nexus 6, which has a SD805, I could feel a small difference, mosty in terms of battery life)
Thank you all for your help.
Previously I have owned phones by Vivo Oppo and Oneplus but I am new to Realme. What are the chances that this phone gains TWRP and/or any custom ROMs? Thanx
Really hard to say. The custom rom / twrp development has been really slow on the Realme X2 Pro, which means that not a lot of devs are working on Realme hardware.
On the other hand. The development of the XT is quite Good.
I don't think it's coming any soon
Also I think realme doesn't allow unlocking bootloader in EU.
I just hope they don't follow the footsteps from OPPO, which unlocking bootloader is a pain of the butt.
Is any possibility to get MIUI here ... i'm gonna pre order that thing but really want MIUI.
Be a little patient. Its gonaa be a while before we see something here.
Kernel Source out just about 12 hours ago...
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realmeX50pro_AndroidQ-kernel-source
Kernel Source
Yes I made a post about it because someone wanted my help if they ran into issues on an X50 custom kernel I thought they meant X50 Pro and found the source code. Anybody attempt compiling it yet?
Regarding roms.... I compares network bands in Chinese and global versions. Look same so if I buy Chinese version can I upgrade software with EU rom (realme UI already) and get multilanguage? Or it will brick device?
It's not possible to flash global ROM on CN device.

Are you sure? Can you please tell us some details regarding this?
I'm, wasn't possible on X2 Pro, which I had before this device and is still not possible on X50 Pro. I tried myself...
On X2 Pro people said because of different partitions or / and sizes.
Working on custom rom?
Hi,
Are you already working on one or more custom rom?
I would be very happy to get an answer!

Can you even find fastboot roms for this phone? I found a site with the roms, but they're all the recovery roms. I'm thinking of buying the new X50 Pro Player variant, but I don't have a lot of information regarding custom roms for the X50 Pro which isn't a good sign for the X50 Pro Player.
is there anyone who can post me a fastboot rom for rmx 2076 version? thanks
Hi Everyone ?
Just signed up and new to this world. Recently purchased an Oppo Find X2 Pro only to realize it is the Chinese ROM, model PDEM30. Huge disappointment ???
I desperately need your help in either switching to the global ROM or a custom ROM that will help me get rid of the very irritating Chinese apps and allow me to use apps like Google's Find My Device.
Any help or your kind suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much ??
I will be the sad one to tell you as no one seems to want to do so: there's no way to switch to Global ROM on PDEM30 model
The only thing you can do is to get rid of some of the bloatware using ADB but the limitations of Chinese software will stay :/ This community has been trying so long to flash the Global ROM on the Chinese version... without success.
Well i managed to flash the BETA Android 11 on the Global Firmware, and i rollback to Android Q but with CPH2025PU version as the Beta is too laggy and it worked except now my sim card is not detected...
I will try when Oppo will release a new European Firmware
Thank you for your replies
Thank you very much to you both
Guess I will be selling this phone. Am very disappointed in Oppo for limiting their phones so much.
Hi all,
So I am interested in buying a Realme GT Neo 2, however I will likely buy the Chinese version as it is easier and chaeper for me to find and purchase (Aliexpress).
I see most stores say they will open the box and flash the Global ROM for you before shipping. Not sure how true this is, but anyways...
I wanted to find out if with the Chinese ROM, does it have the same issues as Xiaomi / Redmi with the Chinese ROM where when the device is locked you do not get messages.
For example, with the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Chinese ROM). If I am using Whatsapp or Telegram, it works fine but once I lock the phone after a minute or so when the phone is in sleep mode I do not get messages or any whatsapp / telegram calls.
I have to unlock the phone before those messages are downloaded and come through to my phone - is this the case with the Chinese ROM on the GT Neo 2?
If so, will this be fixed by flashing the Global or Indian ROM? I know with Xiaomi, if you flash the Global ROM then this is no longer a problem. It seems that the Chinese ROM for Xiaomi is very aggressive with how it manages apps when the phone is sleepings or when the apps are running in the background.
This is my main concern and the only thing stopping me from buying this phone now.
@KD6-3.7 Maybe you can give me some advice, you seem to have a lot of knowledge with Realme and the GT Neo 2.

I do not know about that kind of screen off issue. But my Indian Variant one has no issues whatsoever. [ edge lighting is also great! ]
TBH, the neo 2 with Chinese Rom is getting frequent updates + it has access to the RUI 3.0 Beta application.
Whereas the Indian market users of neo2 are stuck on an update which is 2 months+ old...
Also, with chinese rom, you can unlock the bootloader! No such thing as of now in global/Indian ones...
So it is on you entirely, if you want updates faster or not. Also, from what i have seen, MIUI CN usually is always better than the buggy global one. Not sure how realme works.

Alright thanks.
MIUI CN is great, just the way it handles apps in the background / when phone is locked is a problem for me. No Global ROM for the Redmi Note 11 Pro, only expected sometime in Q1 so I had to sell mine unfortunately. My girlfriend has the Redmi Note 10 Pro, global ROM and works as expected.
Tempted to pull the trigger on this Realme, thinking I might ask the supplier to flash to Global ROM just incase. I imagine they'd need to unlock the bootloader and I could always flash back to the Chinese ROM to play around with if need be.
I just cannot afford to have a phone which does not allow for IM apps and their messages / calls to come through when the phone is locked.
This will be my first Realme device, so not familiar with how they work and do things.
If I am able to flash between the various ROMs, I might even flash to the Indian ROM if that has newer updates compared to the Global ROM.
I assume Indian ROM & Global ROM are quite similar and both have Google Apps and English as a language?

Indian is, i think global only, heh.
Also, i dont think that you will be able to unlock the bl once global rom is flashed, although i can be wrong.
If you do use google applications, then yes, you indeed need the global rom.

Hmm, I was thinking and hoping that the supplier will unlock the bootloader, flash the Global ROM and then the bootloader will remain unlocked for me to flash the different ROMs as I wish?
It seems there is really not a lot of info available and most people who are on forums and using these phones seem to be using the Global or Indian version and not the Chinese version - which so far seems to be able to do more and has newer updates.
I can order the Chinese version and ask them to not update to the Global ROM, but then I run the risk of maybe still not being able to unlock the bootloader and having a phone I cannot use properly.
If I can get confirmation that Realme does not have the same issue as Xiaomi do on their Chinese ROMs then I am more than happy to stay on the Chinese ROM.

CN variant will always be ahead in terms of updates.
As for your supplier, he will lock the bl. He has to, cuz if he doesnt, then your play store wont be certified. He will flash and lock most probably.
you can i think ask the seller himself about such stuff, he knows much more , heh.
Im currently using GT Neo 2 China varian rom.
Maybe this is my first time using Realme UI, so some of my problem may not really a problem
Here are some of my experiance for using China variant rom
1. A lot of China bloatware, most of it can be deleted
3. Unable to backup system setting, sms, call log at google account. It will showing error. You may need to backup your data to the realme chinese cloud. Contact and Calender are able to sync with google account.
4. Some of the banking apps are unable to set your device as digital otp token (maybe will fix later)
5. Cloned whatsapp have notification issue. It solve after reinstall.
6. Play Store will not automatically searching new updates and scan hamful apps. It require manual clicking.
7. Unable to use Google Location History function (it not affecting google map fuction)
8. Unable to trasfer my old phone data to new Realme phone using Phone clone app. (maybe have bug for phone clone app)
9. Great battery life. Apps are not allow to run in background by default. (i'm not sure is it Realme UI default setting)
10. High frequency system updates. You may check the latest updates news at Realme GT Neo 2 China Community.
Im using cn.
The only problem Im getting is the CN Apps but you can uninstall / remove then using ADB or manual uninstall only hehe
Thats why CN Version is the best of all version!

Actually is depend. If you very rely of Google ecosystem, the China variant rom might not your best choice.
So I have not pulled the trigger yet and was wondering what the latest software is on the Global ROM vs the Indian ROM?
I am wondering whether I should speak to the seller and see if they cannot put the Indian ROM on for me instead of the Global ROM as I may get updates sooner than on the Global ROM?
I assume the Indian ROM works fine with apps running in the background and when your phone is locked you can still get Whatsapp & Telegram messages and do not need to unlock your phone in order to receive those messages like with the Chinese ROM?

我用的是cn。
我得到的唯一问题是 CN 应用程序，但您可以卸载/删除然后使用 ADB 或手动卸载，呵呵

I am CN that this is not the case, there are several options in Settings-Notifications, one of which is to receive messages and reminders and display them on the lock screen, if not, then it is probably because the process of app has been forcibly stopped by the power protection system, to solve this problem, just select not to optimize in the battery optimization interface. The relevant solution may also be in the long press of the icon in question-Application Details-Power Consumption Management)

Well its the whole packed up rom. Depends on how it was compiled.
Interesting
I have Chinese version too.
I think the only deal breakers that i have with the Chinese version are missing notifications and bloatware. I am not sure how it works but it never delivers notifications on time, either they are delayed for 5-10 minutes or hours
I flash global version and really happy with it. Gpay doesn't work but my bank app does

Does global version have realme dialer or google dialer? thank you.
Hi there. I'm really considering buying a Lenovo Xiaoxin tablet and I would like to ask something about firmwares..
1. Apart from official ZUI and Global ones, are there ROMs modded by sellers? I absolutely don't want those. Or maybe are the Global themself modded versions instead of officials?
2. Do you think the ZUI is better, apart from the security center being too strict? It seems to me the Global is too much stock for a 11' tablet..
Thank you guys

1. I don't think the seller can modify the rom and keep the bootloader locked as android has something like secure boot on PC. If you want to be sure, buy the one with ZUI and flash the global rom yourself
2. I personally don't like ZUI because of its look, i prefer stock android and samsung's one ui but that's personal preference, also the global rom will have a more recent security patch than ZUI.

Yea modded ROM also usually means unlocked bootloader, from my experience..
There are a few issues flashing into this tablet from what I read: lost serial number, invalid IMEI and I don't have the patience to deal with such things to be honest..
So ZUI gets less updates in general? That's weird (well not for Lenovo of course)

I don't think you should be worried about those issue as i've flashed my P11 Pro like 10 times and never face them, just have a backup of your QCN file in case something go wrong. If you want to use the global rom, just let the seller flash it for you.
Im not sure if ZUI gets less updates, I'm just saying that the latest Global rom on my P11 Pro has a newer security patch than the latest version of ZUI
