Hi everybody,
seems like that since the beginning of September various e-shops have had availability of a Global Black Shark.
Judging from various unboxing/review videos the main difference seems to be that the Global Black Shark uses a stock-ish Android Oreo with preinstalled Play Services, but this ROM doesn't seem to exists on any site.
Does anybody know something more about that?
I think it would be cool to have an official global ROM.
I purchased mine 4 days ago here, I'm somewhere from Asia.
Yes it comes with Stock Android ROM. Although this looks the way it should be presented to the world, I think I prefer the China ROM's JoyUI due to the features I liked from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x.
It is similar to MIUI and somehow I regret getting the global verson.

I have the global one as well and its kind of like lineage OS + the shark space , or the way android looks on a google pixel phone + shark space with all the options to configure the gamepad , extreme mode , etc.
Other than that there is no sign of any other joyui features like screen recording and the other stuff with the led customization.
It only says JoyUi when you go to check for updates even though its not
Doesnt come with any bloat-ware either at all.
Out of the box it had about 15~ apps installed which were most google apps , and it has the play store by default.
To be honest i prefer the the more simple global rom because i read on the official chinese forums on the joyui version that there are some stability issues with the software where it sometimes reboots randomly on its own which kinda sucks if its true.
Dont have any screenshots as there is no need since it looks like stock androind.
If you wanna see the ui check out the unbox therapy video where you can kind of see what it looks like.

i see, well i got the Chinese version since june, i can't deny an occasional force reboot happens but its very rare like once in 2 weeks, and its much better with the recent updates, it was a bigger problem before android 8.1 update arrived, now its negligble.
i also had some issues with google services and facebook force closing in the first FW version but that was also fixed now, im very happy with the phone RN, joyui is also very clean and has no bloatware at all, except xiaomi standard apps like the market and gallery app file manager etc which i like since i had xiaomi mi6 before.
overall its great though, battery life is amazing partly due to the big battery of the phone but i think joyui + xiaomi background managment is doing really good work, when im not playing it can easely last 2.5 days of causal use with around 8 hours of SOT. with hibarnate disabled so i get notifications on whatsapp etc.
there is only one thing that really bothers me i wonder if global version is the same, when im taking a video with the camera, the auto focus always goes nuts and keeps trying to refocus and never does, didn't have this issue with any other xiaomi phone before and its the same camera app. i end up using manuel focus for taking videos which is anoying at times when u try to move the camera around focus gets lost.
I have a chinese Black Shark and it's really great except for the fact that the play store is not built in.
You can add it via various tools but it not being a System app brings some compatibility issues such as Android Auto not connecting properly to the phone (logcat says it misses som authorizations).
It also have some problems with the download manager (Play Store sometimes needs a clear data to start download apps again) and with notifications

I have the Chinese version , would much rather have the global one
Black shark 2 variation
I just notice the the Model ada diffrent
For the china is SKR-A0
While the global is SKR-H0
Is there alot of diffrent?
I think that until the last update, the Global one was too a SKR-A0.
With the last update the name of the model was changed to fit with the "Helo" name of the new model, thus the "H" instead of the "A".
Can i change the chineese rom to the global one?, and if so, how?
Pls help

At the moment, this seems impossible.
There are no chinese or global roms online and there is no known method of unlocking the bootloader on the chinese version.
I got the global skr-ho 6gb ram 64gb rom..... the best phone I've used coming from a snapdragon fan works vary well with AT&T and cricket u.s
China version just got the firmware update from blackshark helo, 60 fps ui, more backlight led options, and cool gaming mode stats tool showing real time fps cpu temp etc.

Hello,i have received an OTA update for 16s (I am on official Chinese rom) Have anybody found the complete rom because I am on twrp and can't update or is there a way to revert to original recovery?
U can download a full original 15s rom and flash it. It will flash back the original Recovery.
Then u can flash the "Update.zip" using your original recovery.
I've also received the update to 016s (chinese ROM) and as I had just installed the 015s, it upgraded automatically to it. I have to say that the fingerprint sensor is flying now. I'd say that it's even faster than on X829 016s ROM. I even don't need to fully press the finger on the reader like I did with 015s, just barely touch it and it unlocks. The Remote Control got updated to 3.0 (I guess it was updated before to this version as well). Still the Android security patch level is June 1, 2016. Not sure what is the changelog and what other improvements it has.
16S has also been released for Indian beta testers only. Not official yet.
Someone can upload the update.zip file ?
im on the official indian rom(from here) but im not getting the update.

The Indian ROM still has not received the 16S update. Very few beta testers had received the 16S OTA update. According to LE staff, it fixes fingerprint problem and adds compatibility with Reliance JIO 4G VoLTE network.
We will have to wait for it to become official.

So far, Le Max 2 has supported most LTE frequencies out of the box. If there is any one particular obscure LTE frequency you want support for, do mention. Chinese vendors on Aliexpress and ebay do cut-copy-paste stuff of product information so it is hard to tell which model supports what.

In my country, my telco using LTE Band 3 and 7, also provide LTE-A CA_3A_7A.
For normal LTE, i'm able to use without issue.
Whenever i fall into the LTE-A coverage area, my signal will totally dropped, can't use any DATA.
Anyone using LTE-A/4G+ with CA_3A_7A without any issue?

Just installed the chinese 16s over indian 15s stock
On first boot, phone asked to register the figerprint data again, and the fp sensor is definitely working better than earlier.
updated flawlessly OTA. only downside is that my Google Play Services seems to be crashing every few. it didn't do that before.
Got a score of ~125.8k on first try Antutu on chinese 16s rom
On second attempt after reboot the score reached 131.3k
Both test at room temperature.
Screenshot
finally in 16s my fp is working agian. Literally not working before this.
My question is, what differences are there between the leaked US rom and the Chinese?
I was unable to find Google play store app in Chinese 16S rom. It may be having region specific optimizations for LTE.
Installing apk wizard is different in Chinese. In Chinese ROMs, it asks us to delete apk after installation and also gives a percentage of installation completion. Whereas, US and Indian ROMs have google style apk installation wizard with no option offered to keep or delete the apk.

Hi Sanke1,
Got the same problemss you got : my device hung up every 3 minutes ???
I then changed the communication protocols used to select only those used in Europe (I can do this in CM13 don't know if the 16s allows it too...) And now everything is back to normal !
Maybe you should try that ?
As you do I sometimes curse this device and I certainly curse the lack of source release by the manufacturer... It they'd do the device would be really great !!!!

Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
HELP !!!!!!!!
Just imported an Oppo Find X here in the UK - and have managed to get most things working except Android Auto. I have given Android Auto every permission I can - and shut off all battery and app freezing elements but still when I connect Android Auto to my car (which has worked find with any other Android Phone) I just get a black screen on the head unit.
Does anyone have any idea how to get Android Auto working properly? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
I bought an Oppo find x in Malaysia and use it in the UK. Android Auto works fine, although I don't use it or particularly like it. Sorry, but all I did was click on it and approve the 6 or so permissions.
The only apps I struggle with are, oddly, the clock (as the android alarm doesn't always work- but I just switched to the Oppo clock and that does) and Google Now (which works when I tap on it, but not automatically).
Is yours the global rom?
I imported one fro China and android auto doesn’t work for me either
I have thé same no Android auto to my Oppo chinese rom
Same issue on Chinese ROM, imported to UK. Screen just says to check phone compatibility.
Did anyone find a work around for the china version?
Much appreciated

It's as near as a bricked phone you'll find software wise. I've sold mine, thank god.
I've managed to find and buy a global ROM version and can confirm Android Auto (along with everything else for that matter) works perfectly.
I have an oppo find x with China ROM, there was an OS update few weeks ago to ColorOS 5.2.1, reinstalled Android auto on Friday and it was working perfectly on my Chevy Volt
Real me 2 pro not able to connect car by using android auto
I am facing same issue with real me 2 pro. When connect to android auto display tell to reconnect and try again.
There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

Hey everyone,
I have recently bought the Mi 11i and it appears to have issues with anything AR related. At first I noticed it with Pokemon go and soon I realized that no AR app works. I have downloaded Google services AR, tried several versions of it with no luck. If anyone has a solution, I would really really appreciate it.
Thanks,
uvris
What MIUI version do You have? On my Mi11i I've updated after a day to 12.5.4 and have it till this day, after installing Pokemon Go, I have AR related issue also, along with black screen while calling someone (without any possibility to turn on hands-free mode)
wwere you able to start ar services? I have miui 13 and they still don't work ...
