I have Note 3 PRO Snapdragon version with locked bootloader and I'm wondering which is better global stable or global developer rom? I already tried both, but I didn't saw a lot of difference (exept few bugs on developer rom). What do you think, which is better choice? Thank you!
Global stable is always preferred rom but i have experienced few auto rotation issues with latest stable rom so you can try chinese dev rom and see if it performs well
I must say i have had hard time installing google apps on chinese dev/stable roms
Everyone i got this error
"There's an error communicating with google servers" whenever i tried to log into my google account
Xiaomi.eu Global is the best
I'm on Global Dev since weeks and have no problems! Runs really smooth, good Battery Backup and official Updates every one or two weeks....
Google Apps are preinstalled and its MultiLang...
Global Dev is Good with Touch Assist aswell

I already red that Chinese roms are better than globals, but I need working Google Play store without any tricks to do that.
jujusito, is this rom compatible with locked bootloader and without twp?
Thank you for your opinions!

Hi XDA,
i just got my RN3 (SD) from banggood and i'm on MIUI Global 7.1 Stable (7.1.99.99 LHOCNCL).
I have problems with some apps and i think its cause there is no locale for my country (Austria) and i configured the clock manually.
So i'm looking for options and clearification:
- I can flash official roms (from here) right away, correct? (without unlocking bootloader, rooting, TWRPing etc...)
- I'm waiting for my official unlock code. Can i unlock with my current rom (7.1.99.99) and newer global official roms? (here it says yes but not sure)
- MIUI is neat, but i kinda miss CyanogenMod. As far as i can tell there are no custom Roms out there with working RIL, fingerprint and stable enough for a daily use? RR seems on a good way and Mokee looks even more promising. Any recommendations or other roms i should keep an eye on?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Yes you can unlock any miui version, and i prefer the official way. Just like you are doing.
As for ROMS i prefer Xiaomi.eu but i dont know why I get in a bootloop after i reboot into the ROM. And if you dont use FP sensor you can use CyanogenMod 13 is the best ROM out there, and i read that a chinese version of CM 13 is working everything (yes FP too).
And if you want you can install AOSP ROM with android 5.1.1 and everything working.

- Flashing official ROMs should not be a problem when you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet (read up when you unlocked it because there's a chance that flashing an official ROM may lock it again). Heads up: Flashing official Chinese ROMs when you're on Global didn't work for me.
- I recommend waiting for official unlock as well. I know the thread you linked to says it's possible to unlock on Global Stable, but for me it only worked on Global Developer. Upgrading from Global Stable to Global Developer works like a charm.
- The new alpha of CM13 by Santhosh M has working RIL from what I know and is relatively stable, but still far from bug free. If you are not too set on Android 6.0 you can also look for CM12.1 based cROMs. The RR ROM you linked is based on Santhosh M's port and will have the same problems. This is true for almost all CM13 based ROMs posted on here so far. People reserve their spot to develop the customized version of CM13, but in reality it all depends on when Santhosh M has enough of a break through to release a stable version.
I haven't looked into Mokee ROM so far, so no comment there. Might work well, but you definitely need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery (Cofface's TWRP worked well enough for me) to flash them.
Best of luck and let's hope we get a stable CM13 soon.
edit: Seems like Mokee ROM faces the same problems as Santhosh M's port. I recommend just checking his post for updates. It will probably be the first one to actually port Android 6.0 to RN3. At least that is what I am doing.
@funkymaster be aware that your kenzo was flashed with an unofficial rom by your vendor (7.1.99.99), so first of all you have to get an official rom on your phone. Search the forum or google for 7.1.99.99, you will find guides that will help you (even in german).
Thank you very much for your input! You already helped me a lot.
I'm just gonna document here what i'm doing - maybe it will help others too.
What i have done:
- installed Mi PC Suite (for Xiaomi ADB drivers)
- downloaded MiFlash tool and current global stable rom from here (kenzo_global_images_V7.3.2.0.LHOMIDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_global_19339c1a10.tgz)
Status: locked Bootloader, no root, vendor miui rom
Goal (for now): official global rom
Next step:
- flash downloaded rom with MiFlash
any input, recommendations still much appreciated
EDIT/UPDATE:
after entering the download mode (see guide) i got "RELINK HS-USB [...]" driver instead of "QUALCOMM HS-USB [...]" in windows device manager. I had to update driver, choose from list and select the qualcomm driver. First it wouldnt work (windows warned me that it couldnt start the device), but i just did a reboot of my phone an re-entered download mode and the yellow warning symbol was gone (in windows device manager).
Then i just followed the guide and flashed MIUI 7.3.2.0 global stable. It worked

A moderator on the Xiaomi Forum just confirmed that you have a fake ROM. It seems that some resellers are flashing these fake global ROMs in order to sell them as Global.
Well, AFAIC i definitely would like to try this 'fake' ROM. Mine may be very real but also very much in chinese/english only. I wouldnt mind for myself, but my mother not so much. I'm pretty sure this is basically a reseller's modified CN ROM in order to sell as global with added languages.

can you have unlock bootloader and installer twrp and backups for me this rom
please
I received my mi pad 4 with this 'fake' global rom.
I've been using it all day and it's pretty good. It's miui but with integrated Google play out of the box.
If it is just the CN version with Google play services pre-installed then I'll stick with it for now. I don't have the ability to check if there are nefarious modifications made to this rom, but I know I'm taking a risk on it. Also I'm pretty sure there will be no over the air updates for it which is a bummer.
If there was a xiaomi.eu rom available I would flash that straight away.
The official CN image: does this include English at least?
In my opinion, I don't use this unknow chinese mod rom because she maybe contain malware.
Just use official MIUI rom or custom rom made by a good dev like in XDA.

i came across a website where you can customize own miui rom for pocophone f1 (and other xiaomi phones).
this one's for f1:
https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder-features/?id=57&codename=beryllium&phone=Pocophone+F1
anyone tried these? do they have bugs (especially the call echo bug i often read about)?
i am looking to purchase the phone and just looking at stable available custom ROMs.

Well , the globe rom is based on xiaomi.eu rom , but in addition it gives you the ability to customize it ( disable daemon service , pre installed magisk , disable stock apps like browser and such , optimize gps location , and much more )
I have been using it as my mainly driver for almost a month , no complaints here .
Has anyone tried this ROM? It's miui based and from what I've read on Mi 9 thread, the battery life is very good and has less bloat.
https://os.revtechs.me/descargas-miui/
Here's the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/rom-revolution-os-t3926187
is there a OLED friendly option to have a black instead of a white menu ?

I haven't tried it either.
I have tried the following
Official Global Stable : Good but the ads are annoying and its missing alot of features compared to beta and custom rom versions of Miui
Official Global EU beta : Awesome, highly recommended
Chinese and Russian versions : I have not tried.
Mi-Globe : A custom Miui rom based on Global Eu beta, the Miglobe page allows you to build your rom with apps/features built in or removed depending on your selection, which include regional GPS setup, and its released on the same day as the Official EU weekly beta. Does allow 3rd party import of themes, and has excellent battery life. Get it here
Miui Pro : Outstanding as well. But usually updates run behind the weekly EU global and Mi-Globe.
Edit: I recently installed this Mi8 and I must say that it is truly one of the best Miui Rom's that I have tried yet. It includes some very nice older features such as the options of a wide breadth of animations and worldwide theme store, It also has many additional custom battery saving features, such as smart networking ( the list of these features is too lengthy to comment on at the moment. But let me just say that my SOT is very close to 10 hours according to GSAM battery manager. I have used Miui Pro on my other devices for a while, and the rom has always been great. I just found out that the Mi 8 version of Miui Pro requires that you join their site via a subscription and the process is kind of ridiculous. for how long it takes to get accepted. With that being said you can also download a slightly older version of their rom via a link originating from 4PDA rom I am currently using this version and I cannot say enough how much I like it.
Revolution OS : Recently tried, and it's awesome its very similar to Mi-Globe Get the recent version here
Mi-Room: I have not tried yet. But, I have heard great things about this one, I believe it is maybe similar to Miui Pro?
Get it here
I too would be very interested in hearing some feedback from people who have tried other version of Miui.
What was your experience?

Yes, I have definitely heard a lot of great things about Miui MS and I will definitely check it out within the next couple of days.
Currently I am on the last release of Miui Pro and I am thoroughly impressed, the version for the Mi8 is much much better than the version that I tried on my old Leeco.
Thank you

I responded to you privately, and I am short on time so I will update this post later to benefit anyone else wanting to know my experience.
Looks like the CN rom for the 6R finally got the Android 12 update. Who knows when the heck global is gonna get it. For the 6 and 6 pro the global rom didn't get android 12 until 9 months after the china rom lol. So I was wondering who wants to be the scapegoat and test it out for me? I can drop the link of the CN rom if you want. I specifically want to know how performance(most important) and optimization of the rom is with heavy games like Genshin etc.
Hello, just updated to CN Android 12 from global. But I cannot really state anything as I had just bought the device and went straight for the update. Although coming from global A11 I can definitely say that it contains loads of bloatware specific to CN and have many apps utilizing nubia services but again are specific to CN. In relation to gaming performance I found it not lacking at all since I'm coming from SD845. But will test Apex tonight and put in my findings. Also, the Nubia keyboard sucks. It as annoying as it can be because of weird CN shortcuts mapped and the keyboard is way too slow in response unlike Gboard.
Regards,

Hello, can i get the link for the CN Version from Android 12 for the red Magic 6r . I want to Test this Version and will give you a feedback. At the Moment , my red magic 6r is unusable for Gaming since i have installed the latest official global rom v1.24, beceause the Touch Delay was high and the Touch screen does not detect small movements. I had also sent the phone to the service but they did not soved the problem.

I have found the Website to Download the latest CN Firmware Update. Now the Touch screen bug is solved and i can use the phone for Gaming again . Also the Google playstore was further available
Google apps are not available in CN for obvious reasons and are required to be downloaded separately but is fairly easy.

I know, but before i installed the CN Rom, a global rom with Google apps was installed. After the Update, the playstore and Google Apps was further available in CN Rom . I had make a factory reset, After that, the Google Apps are lost.
Its also possible to use the CN Rom v6.10 to make a downgrade. Before i installed the CN rom, the global rom v1.24 was installed. I tried before to make a downgrade from v1.24 to v1.17 but it was not possible. But its possible to downgrade from CN Rom to global V1.17
Reason: the global v1.24 has massive Touchscreen Probleme (he does not detect small movements)
Sorry for my english

Yeah I tried the CN rom once on a previous update months ago and I also had those same issues. I didn't like how many Chinese crapware was installed without a way to remove them and I absolutely hated the keyboard. What is it called Sugoi keyboard or whatever. After a ton of fiddling around I was able to get it to be in a QWERTY layout but I just gave up on it and installed Gboard. I'm thinking of moving to CN again just for the android 12 update but only if it gives a decent performance boost. Hence why I made the thread. Looking forward to your finding on the performance though

Good to hear. Back when I tried the CN rom way back, I also factory reset which removed google apps(since CN doesn't use google stuff) but I just found an apk for the playstore and all the other google apps I needed and it worked no problem. Are you still on the CN Rom 6.10 or did you downgrade back to a global rom? Can you tell me the gaming performance on the CN Rom. I'm curious if the android 12 and all those other game space improvements they did boosted performance.

I think the Performance is the same like Android 11. The phone gets hot on Android 11 and also on CN Android 12. I Play pubg at 90fps. On global v 1.17 i get a light throttling After 60 minutes of Gaming . On CN V6.10 (Android 12) i had not played this Long time, beceause my Focus was at the touchscreen reaction. But i think the phone throttles also on CN Android 12, beceause the phone gets very hot during gaming and without a fan it will destroy itself. The Gaming Center looks a Little bit different, but i have not invested enough time. Sorry At the moment i‘m back on global v1.17, beceause in my opinion the touchscreen works best on this version.
I use this phone also only for gaming, like a Gameboy. To make calls or write messages, i use a other phone. So I can nothing to tell about the battery life on CN Android 12.

Tried Apex Legends on full settings and turned every feature on. The game went pretty smooth with no FPS drops at all. But I just played like 2 matches and the phone wasn't hot as well. The charger was connected with powermode set as "Rise" and "Charge Separation" enabled. Had fun btw. Also, there's this new mascot which wasn't there before and looks kinda annoying instead of intriguing. The phone sometimes locks itself just after I've unlocked it with Fingerprint and needs to be unlocked again. Also, I had to manually adjust all Google apps notification settings and some other apps too because they won't share any notifications on lock screen. Disabled all the CN gunk or uninstalled if available. Gamespace has lots of good features and I admire all of them, don't know if they were present in the Global rom. And finally strangely I'm not able to delete or copy files to the Android folder. Which wasn't an issue on any of my previous unrooted phones.
Anyone here tried to root there phones? Or unlock there bootloader? Thank you
