Hi!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 9 4G with a Chinese ROM in China, and as you all understand this limits my accessibility to everything related to Google. The phone is running on MIUI 12, and I'm now desperately trying to get access to everything I could on my phone that I bought back in Europe (such as Android OS, Google Play Services and Play Store as well as syncing to my Google account).
A friend sent me a link with a guide on how to unlock the bootloader and subsequently migrate from a Chinese ROM to a global ROM (
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/b4phic
). After waiting 168 hours (as demanded from Xiaomi) I successfully unlocked my bootloader, and then tried to flash my phone according to the instructions in the link above. My phone completely rebooted (as if it was a factory reset), and it seems like I was able to download a few more apps than I was able to before. However, it still clearly states that I do not have Google Play Services, and the entire phone system does not appear to be Android. It is impossible for me to use apps such as YouTube, Facebook, Gmail etc. despite being able to find APK-files and installing the apps. There is also no Google Play Store.
Could anyone please help provide me with some clarity on this? It would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I own a CMP728 Jelly Bean but it doesn't support google play and I have tried both secondary app stores and trying to install the updated google services but even when I download the services it still doesn't support it, is there some kind of mod or somthing that I can use with my root permissions to give me the support it would really help.
I am sorry if I put this in the incorrect forum I didn't think about the forum when I posted this I beleave this should go to the Question and Answer forum

Hello everyone,
I need pointed to the right forum.
I recently purchased the above phone, landphone died, this came second hand from eBay. It works perfectly, but I mainly wanted it because its Android, and I can use my Google contacts and not have to input them one by one. And because its Android!
The specs are on a photo include below. It is rooted with SU app installed and working.
I downloaded zipped Gapps for 2.3.5, extracted to folder, then put the folder on the ExtSD, then to IntSD.
My problem is this, it shipped with the SlideMe market, I'm trying, and failing to get Google Play sideloaded on it. There is no option to add a Google account of course, if I try to direct install, it gives the message "you need to add a google account", if I click yes, the app fc's. If I push the app to system/app, the same occurs.
I'm not the most technical Android guy, but I've been flashing etc, for a few years now, on various makes and models, but this has me stumped. I've had to flash Gapps before for ROM's, I've sideloaded apps too, but am I missing something here. What gives the extra option to add a Google account? I've done this before on a few tablets etc, never had a problem.
Where is it best to post/get some help? (and hopefully not be laughed at to hard!)
Someone posted a thread over this phone (years ago), 3 answers, nothing helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Skivit

Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei GX1S and overall found it a good phone except for one thing: the ROM. It uses a Huawei customized ROM which I personally find horrible as it doesn't have any of the regular apps like Play Store or Chrome. It uses Huawei update servers, EMUI, as its system update download server so therefore I can't get any of the Google official updates.
I've Googled up several times to try and find the original Google custom ROM and haven't found anything related to it. The best I could find were 2 tutorial sites that had survey locked download links which I honestly don't trust and wouldn't waste my time on. There seems to be no information at all for this product. Are there any available custom ROMs out there that I can use with this device?
Thanks

Hello there,
So, I randomly bought 2 smartphones in China for developing apps (not a very good idea).
The phones are:
- Asus Pegasus X002: comes with a Asus ROM. (Android 4.4.4)
- Vivo Y51: comes with Funtouch OS based on Android (Android 5.0.2)
What I need now is to get Google Play and Google Services working on both this phones.
For what I've been searching I think I have 2 options:
- Install another ROM (I didn't find any so far...)
- Manually install Google Play and Google Services (which I already tried and keep getting "Unfortunately, Google Services has stopped").
Also, I've been able to get root access to the Asus model, so I have more freedom.
Can anyone help me to get Google Play and Google Services on both this phones? I didn't found any helpful information for doing this on these specific models. I've been basically checking guides how to do this for other models and trying to do it on my phones. And so far, I didn't get any success...
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
João

I have a Samsung Galaxy A13, wich contains a Gyroscope, but it is not supported by ARCore.
I wanted to use AR apps but it blocks me.
I have researched and found arcore-patch but it doesn't have an option for my phone.
I also saw this post but i am afraid it might be virus.
How can i install ARCore support on my phone and install AR apps from google play without rooting?
