Question Chinese ROM vs Global / Indian ROM - Realme GT Neo 2

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

all installed apps showing up on the home "pages"?

bought a mix 2s in hong kong last week, it's 128gb so it's chinese version
the store installed google play on it but it's still using the chinese rom (now it's 9.5.18.0 ODGCNFA)
as of now every newly installed app will show up on the home pages which makes them really cluttered
still not sure if it's worth unlocking bootloader and trying the global eu rom instead since i've synced my email on it, i was afraid i will need to go everything all over again
any advice on how to make the apps i want on the home pages to be there instead of each and every app?
thanks in advance

dude, that's MIUI!
if you buy any Xiaomi phone you don't get an app drawer. all apps are placed on the homescreens.
if you want an app drawer where all your apps will be placed and you can decide which one of those are visible on your homescreens then you need to install a launcher. I recommend Nova launcher, but there are many other launchers available.
look at some videos comparing different launchers and choose one to your liking.
whaaaaaaaaat? lol that's so stupid
i'll check out some launchers, thanks man
off topic, but is there any benefit in installing the global eu rom over the chinese one?

Global EU isn't an official MIUI ROM. I really think you would be better off installing the official Global ROM instead. But you need to look at the model name in the about phone screen. If the model ends in XE you have the Chinese model. If it ends in XA you have the global model. If you have the XE version and choose to unlock your bootloader and install the Global ROM it's very important that you don't relock the bootloader which is easy to accidentally do with the MI Flash Tool. If you relock the bootloader you will brick your phone and it will only be good for use as a paperweight.
ok, but is there any actual benefit in the official global rom over the chinese rom?

Chinese OnePlus 7 Pro- get Google, flash other ROM

I live in China so currently I can only buy this phone customized for China- no Google apps and only some local crappy app stores.
I know it's possible to install Google services/store etc. on Chinese phones, but would it be possible to just flash some stock "Western" ROM on it?
Are there any stock ROMs from OnePlus available for international versions?
How can I tell if the phone I'd be buying here is "flashable"- how can I check it at the store ?
There are all 3 versions available here (6/8/12GB ram)
Chinese version uses hytrogen OS, you can try flash oxygen OS(stock os on international version)through "local upgrade" .
Some personal experience:
I bought Chinese version too and I directly flashed zip in this thread through local upgrade, the OS changed to Oxygen OS as expected but Google play store somehow wasn't installed, so I factory reseted my phone, then everything works fine now.
Note: Chinese version got a system update after it was released if you performed that upgrade you may not able to flash oxygen os because version number(9.5.4) is higher on hytrogen os than on oxygen os(9.5.3).
Note 2: This thread provide 9.5.4 oxygen os now so if you already performed upgrade on hytrogen os you can try flash 9.5.4 oxgyen os.
Hi, I'd like to hop on this thread to ask a similar question.
So right now I'm in China and will stay for a few weeks. I've been wanting to get my habds on a 7 pro since I learned about it, and I'll be residing in S.Korea for the foreseeable future.
I have an option to purchase the device from the US official website and have an agency deliver it to me at my Korean address (I'm assuming the US version retails as the global version GM1917 I believe?). All in all it'll cost around $790.
Or I can purchase the cheaper, chinese version while I'm here and install the Oxygen OS on it as I'm told it's a rather simple procedure for Oneplus phones. I've never tried any sort of unlocking/bootloader/flash/custom rom stuff so I'm not entirely familiar with all this but it seems doable if i tread carefully.
The question that stands however, is whether or not there will be any difference at all between the two. I believe the Chinese model is named GM1910, I'm assuming there are some hardware differences like band support, but then again I can't find a clear answer on this. I've also heard that flashing the OOS might mean it wont be google play digital certified (not entirely sure if i got the name right or what it does) and I might encounter widevine issues. But then again I've seen people mention the hardware is the same so as long as I convert the OS it should work like a breeze as if it was the global version.
I'd appreciate any help and guidance in this matter. Also by flashing the OS would that mean I'd have to manually apply OTA patches whenever they're released? I'm not too concerned on warranty issues but if you guys have anything crucial I should keep in mind about it I'd be grateful for the help.
Thanks in advance.

All version sold in china is "flashable", just pick up the specs/color you prefered.
For the switching the system from HOS(Chinese version) to OOS(global version), it's simple:
1. flash the newest Oxygen OS(GM21AA, for global version) through system update;
2. reboot to recovery;
3. wipe all data of your phone
Done.

Widevine downgrading(L1 -> L3) happened when you unlock the bootloader. If you just get an chinese version OP7P, switching system from HOS to OOS, it's ok to do it through system update, while maintaining the widevine level.
After switching to OOS 9.5.3, my chinese version OP7P works pretty fine with all google service(except google pay, no environment to test it)

I'm not sure if there are any hardware difference between Chinese model and other model, but I'm sure Google play is still certified on Chinese model after flashing OOS. Widevine level won't change as long as you don't unlock bootloader and you won't need to unlock bootloader if you only want to flash OOS.
I used to have a Chinese version OnePlus 5, I flashed OOS on it and everything works pretty well for two years, OTA always works. I assume everything is the same on OnePlus 7 pro.

Hey, thanks for the reply! for some reason I can't quote the edited latter part of your post.
It's great to know its as simple as you said. But like I mentioned I'm quite new to all this so I hope you're fine that your answer also raised some questions for me.
So if there's no influence on widevine, why would people go the extra effort to unlock the bootloader? Isn't it primarily to flash a fresh ROM which would mean the end goal is basically the same is it not? Would my OS converted phone be any different to that of a bootloader unlocked one in regards to performing identical as a global version 7 pro?
Thanks so much for the help!

People unlock bootloader because they want to root their phone or flash third-party ROM. Bootloader has to be unlocked if you want to flash anything other than stock ROM or other stock things.

Thanks you are amazing. I think I can safely go with the Chonese version. One last question though, would tweaking for VoLTE require any rooting?

Glad I can help.
If you're in China, I don't think you need to tweak anything to use VoLTE no matter which OS you're using (Hytrogen OS or Oxygen OS), there are three main telecom operators in China: CMCC, China Net and China Unicom.
CMCC already support VoLTE so if you're using CMCC's service your phone will enable VoLTE automatically once you plug in the SIM card and detected signal.
China Net added support for VoLTE very recently, so VoLTE should be automatically enabled too once you plug in a China Net's SIM card, but I'm not sure about this because I'm not using any China Net's service.
China Unicom does not support VoLTE until June 1st 2019, you won't be able to use VoLTE till then in any method if you are using China Unicom's service (Google Fi and some international roaming use China Unicom's service so no VoLTE for Google Fi and those roaming yet)
Dual VoLTE with dual SIM should work too, I'm using CMCC and China Unicom dual sim and VoLTE icon on my status bar have a "1" next to it(VoLTE1), I think there will be a VoLTE2 after China Unicom support VoLTE.
I know little about these Telecom operators things outside of China, but I think Oxygen OS support most country's VoLTE service as long as their Telecom operators support VoLTE.
I'm new here, my op7 pro is on the way to me, I'm in China too, so I should unbox it, do not upgrade, download the oxygen os and flash it directly? Than I'll get a "global version" op 7 pro, will it work?

Best ROM alternative for native MIUI apps on Mi 10 Lite 5G

Hello!
I just applied for bootloader unlock for my new MI 10 Lite 5G that came with the Global ROM.
I'd rather not use the G apps, so I would really appreciate your help in finding the best ROM version that has all the native Xiaomi apps and settings.
I find myself in a bit of a pickle, as some uncertainties arrose while looking into the subject:
1. Do I have the Monet version? I bought it in Europe.
2. Is there any official China ROM release for this phone? I'm having problems finding one.
3. I would really appreciate if someone with more experience could share his opinion on xiaomi.eu ROMs. Are they stable, do you recommend?
Thank you, any input will be highly appreciated!
Be safe, stay healthy!

I need it also. Xiaomi.eu roms dont have also rom for monet
@Jakimzinho:
xiaomi.eu has a ROM for Monet.
Have a look at the stable branch: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-stable-release.56191/
Latest ROM while posting this is: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10LITE5G_V12.0.2.0.QJIMIXM_v12-10.zip

Hello!
I just applied for bootloader unlock for my new MI 10 Lite 5G that came with the Global ROM.
I'd rather not use the G apps, so I would really appreciate your help in finding the best ROM version that has all the native Xiaomi apps and settings.
I find myself in a bit of a pickle, as some uncertainties arrose while looking into the subject:
1. Do I have the Monet version? I bought it in Europe.
2. Is there any official China ROM release for this phone? I'm having problems finding one.

#1 Mi 10 lite (monet) is for the outside china market, so most likely you have monet. The mi 10 youth / zoom (vangogh) is for the China Market. The easy way to find out, if on the camaras is printed 50 x is vangogh, if 48 MP, then is monet.
#2 Unfortunatelly there is not a china rom for monet, only global ones, in which there are two variants, EU for the european market and MI international for the global market. And to bring more misery, only estables ****ty-2,3,4,..months to update. Dev or weekly ones no longer are produce for global market terminals.
#3 haven't tried xiaomi.eu yet ( waiting 7 days to unlock). In general they are as good or bad as the rom's base they borrow it from, minus debload and very few twitches. Yet its the only good choice we have. Miui mix which is the other custom miui, never tried (magisk included in the rom) .
We are f****d

Hi!
I tried both ROMs.
MIUIMIX has been put into BOOTLOOP several times in a row even after a clean installation. Not sure it's a ROM bug, but I haven't experimented with it anymore.
A XIAOMI.EU 12.0.2.0. version is stable, I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Without tried yet both roms (waiting to unlock), it could be a problem with your recovery, i heard pichbkack might have a problem, try twrp from manufrio. Also i presume you did a format data (the yes one)
I will stick with the eu for the time been, don't like that magisk is included in miuimix, I'd rather flash it myself

Indonesia ROM vs EEA ROM

I have read that the indonesia version of the ROM for Poco F2 Pro is more stable than the EEA one.
I also read that the indonesia version has the call recorder.
Are there any other differences? Network management type?
Thanks.

Use the INDO V12.0.4.0 version which is super stable
I am now on INDO V12.2.2.0 and it has many bugs, GPS does not work, recent app, battery discharges fast ...
I will return to INDO V12.0.4.0 and disable the update so as not to update.

Will I lose anything by going from EEA to Indonesian ROM? Like bands or languages or anything?
I'm in a process of unlocking the bootloader and downgrading from Android 11 to android 10 and I'm wondering which ROM is the best. I think a call recorder is a nice feature to have. I had it in my Zenfone 6.

I'm using a very strict banking app and I'm afraid they wouldn't like each other. Many users of my bank's app complained about that, but their developers always know better. Sometimes it doesn't even work with stock ROMs on some devices stating that they are rooted.

The main reasons why I'm going back to Android Q are:
the full screen not working in A11 (status bar always visible),
phone not streaming audio to the car head (stopped working after upgrade to A11)
and annoying animation when minimizing an app and going to the home screen (can't be switched off)
Are these bugs fixed in the eu ROM?

Couldn't find the answer there, thanks anyway.
I guess I'll stick to the stock Android 10 ROM, so the question still stands: what is the difference between Indonesia and EEA ROMs except for the dialer and message apps?

good afternoon, i did try to unlock the bootloader of two devices I bought and unfortunately i was unable to. i watched a few videos regarding the unlocking, downloaded the unlocking app and the waiting time doubled after my first try.i must have done something wrong but i dont know what. the only thing I am wondering is if i have to leave the sim in the device while im waiting for the 7 day period for example? have any of you got any suggestions and would you guys mind helping me and guide me step by step on what to do. i dont understand much and this is my first try. the poco f2 pro is with two SIM cards and the global version 12.2.5.0(rjkeuxm) and the redmi k30 is again with two SIMs with 12.1.6.0(rgicnxm)
thank you in advance

Hello, I have a Stock Indian to Global/EU ROM Flash Query.

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy this phone - Indian version with model number RMX2076. version I intend to purchase is 8GB | 128GB version.
I have a few doubts and need help & answers please.
I intend to flash the stock Indian Rom with EU/Global version of Stock Rom. I am doing this to activate more number of 4G and 5G bands available on this device on the EU/Global variant, as against fewer network bands available on stock Indian ROM version. source: https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_x50_pro_5g-10097.php
I would prefer to keep the boot-loader locked post the ROM Flash and get the rest of the phone working as stock. I prefer, the security of locked boot-loader, and would like all bank apps, UPI Payment apps and Google Pay app working.
My Queries are:
Can this be done on this device?.
Will the device receive regular OTA OS and security updates for the Global/EU ROM post the Flash?.
Are there hardware changes in Global version of this phone that I should be aware of, prior to this Global ROM flash on the Indian version RMX2076?.
any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
bump, really no one has this same question? some answer would be nice please.

thank you, at least some one replied something. can you please explain a couple of problems faced and other phone suggestion are welcome. thanks again.
If you buy this phone Realme x50 pro you are very limited does not support widevine l1 if you want to watch Netflix in HD. After sale service is totally crap. As you can see there is no custom roms or anything else for this phone. I would advise you to buy Xiaomi instead of this phone.
Widevine L1 works fine!
