Hi,
I bought a Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G and I think I can see how much I hurried up. There is no Global version. In CN ROM only English and I would prefer Polish.
What's happening? Does any of you know if Xiaomi has any plans to do something with this model?
Do I have any system alternative? Maybe a pure android ... I have not found anything on the internet for this model to be uploaded. Please help!
I'm a bit broken
(sorry for my bad english)
You can find a couple of threads about GSIs on the Pad 5 (non Pro) forum. People (incl myself) have had some success in installing some GSIs on the Pro model too. You can't use the Xiaomi pen on a GSI (or custom ROM I think), however, which is a massive downside to some people.
Yes I think the software development for this tablet is really slow. It's no-one's fault. I used to own Mi Pad 4 and they had a huge range of custom ROMs available. I optimistically assumed it would be the same for Pad 5. I was so wrong... If the stock ROM (MIUI) was half decent, we wouldn't need volunteer developers. Such a shame.
If I had read more about how bad it is with the Pro version - I would buy something from the competition, such as Samsung. A bit of money wasted because I have equipment with potential, but soft kills it. I hope that something will move with the next android, for example 13. Shame for Xiaomi for treating customers in such a way. I do not understand the lack of a Global version. I bought a device from China, paying all taxes. Feels like cheated.

Without sounding like an asshole. If you did a little research on this forum or even google searched about the pad 5 pro before buying it, you would have avoided buying a device not suitable for you.
It was well documented that the Pro version was available only in China and didn't support all languages.
No need to feel cheated, you just failed to research the specifications.
As far as development for this device, I would contact people working on Poco F4 roms. It's basically a pad 5 pro with a small screen. I'm sure they could cook something up.

Thanks for the info. I will look for. Regards.
Is there any way to upload the Polish language to the Chinese firmware on the CN of the Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G? Currently, there is only Chinese and English and the Global version is not available and probably will not be.
Are Google services on Chinese ROM working properly?

Everything works with google. Just have to set the permissions correctly for Google apps.
Chrome translates perfectly and even assistant works in different spoken languages.
Download Gboard keyboard and everything will work.

Make sure you set google to always allow otherwise the MIUI privacy protection will block all sorts of settings and add ons. It returns blank messages to google so you can't sign in.
This has frustrated a lot of users.
You can try an app called MoreLocale 2 (available on Google Play Store or GitHub) to use a language other than the specified ones on the MIUI Chinese ROM. It changes the locale setting. I can't remember if your device needs to be rooted or not. I haven't tried myself, but I have read a few people saying they could get Japanese available on some (but not all) apps and system menus. Polish is probably available too, but you'd better check. You need to execute some adb command to get it work.
GitHub - c-lis/morelocale: This application will change system locale and country setting.

First of all, the device does not need to be rooted. The disadvantage of this solution is that you have to set the language again after every restart. But I found another solution:
It is even better than MoreLocal2 if you change the language in the Android language menu. The so called AOSP Dashboard is accessible via Apps like "Activity Launcher" or "MIUI Downloader" (Both on Playstore, I suggest Activity Launcher).
For Activity Launcher: Open app and search for "SystemDashboard", then open "com.android.settings.Settings$SystemDashboardActivity"
This way you get the same result as with MoreLocal, but 1. you don't have to set something after every restart, 2. you don't have an unnecessary app because you can uninstall it and 3. you don't have to assign authorizations, since everything runs in system dialogs.
* I use my Mi Pad 5 Pro with this solution.
** With "same result" I mean a mixture of English and target language. MIUI apps / system apps mostly but not always remain in English. Everything else should be in the target language if the apps support it.

Hi,
already finished production of MTK8127 pcb in China. and we are still customize our ROM by their engineer.
But I also made map apk for my device and I also need to add my 7inch MTK8127 tablet onto google device list.
Do you know anyone how to add my device onto google device list?
I sent msg to google. but their reply is not what I wanted:crying:
If Google didn't give you the answer you wanted there is nothing you can do.
There are many things you have to do to be added to Google devices. No way around it.

Hello
Thank you for your reply.
After this post I found out only few allowed factory & some new API level tablet can be applied GMS license.
I asked pcba factory to update their installed Google version. they said I have to place order 20k PCBA.
It's very hard for us to keep update Google version..
I found Dragon touch, iRULU tablet in amazon.com.
I think they also didn't apply GMS license.(maybe their device hasn't installed "com.google.android.gms.apk")
Even they applied GMS license for their device, only few device is applied.
This is mostly due to these devices being out of china. Google and China don't have the best history
Currently in China and considering buying the China variant of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Can't seem to find any international / global ROM I could flash after getting it [in order to fix the voice assistent / other 'hi' apps which remain in Chinese after changing lanaguage].
Anyone have any insight on this / know where I could get a global ROM?
Also as a side question:
Went into store and tried to install google play on the Chinese variant. Installed, but crashes upon trying to open it. Turns out GSM not installed by default. Is it possible to install GSM without root access, as my company doesn't permit rooted phones.
Cheers!
I asked FunkyHuawei about rebranding the phone, this was their reply;
"Sorry to say that rebranding the Mate 20 series is impossible.
It’s likely it will never be possible."

They might suffer reduced business opportunity moving forward, hey?
I bought it from mainland China and can install the google play store without issues in the UK.
I think In China you need VPN to install Play Store or other google service.

I am waiting mine too. Do you see chines ads here and there? Also, how did you install google Playstore? Thanks
I made an account just to rant about the Chinese branded version. I managed to get Google Play Store, Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework installed (the latter two had to be sideloaded from APKMirror) and from there was able to get most of my Google apps working at a baseline level. That's pretty much where the good news ended though. Here are problems I have had since then. Help or comments with any of this would be appreciated.
You are required to make a Huawei account to use ADB, and EMUI in general begs you to make a Huawei acct. all the time which is pretty irritating
Changing the default launcher, as we know, was disabled. Uninstalling the Huawei launcher through ADB lets you use a different launcher but swipe gestures are broken. Nova also seems to be buggy in general on this phone, so I'm experimenting with different launchers now.
The Huawei App Gallery app store is ripe garbage. You can "uninstall" a variety of preinstalled apps like Huawei Video, but they shortly reinstall themselves.
The "Program Manager" app is also ripe garbage and appears to be breaking a variety of things. It's purpose seems to be to promote security and performance, but it basically just blocks devices from using microphones, wifi etc and spams you with obnoxious notifications. Oh, you also can't revoke any of Program Manager's permissions since it's a system app and doesn't even appear in the permissions list, and changing it's permissions through settings>apps doesn't appear to be allowed.
Android Auto: I can't get voice commands to work. I suspect this has to do with Program Manager thinking its a god, but who even knows.
EMUI in general is unattractive and overbearing. The icons in the status bar are ugly and cannot be rearranged. The settings menus are searchable, but still overly complicated and there are a TON of bundled Huawei apps which act like system apps and try to take control away from the user.
Knowing that root/rebrand will probably never be possible gives me almost zero hope that this phone will ever be usable as my daily driver.
I also have a mild case of green-screen. It's honestly the part that bothers me least right now, but I might use it as justification to return this device to my reseller and maybe try to get the international version.
I feel like I'm using an Apple device in that I don't feel like I have any control/customization power, but unlike Apple, the software barely even works. It is intrusive, disruptive, and breaks ordinary functions of normal apps. So far, 2/10 experience.
The hardware is great though

Even if you have a global ROM, you can't Flash because there's no way to upgrade the Hess 980 chip across regions.
Anyone who uses a China Mainland rom of Emui Huawei phone with google apps should at this point be used to glitches, location history unusable, google now screen doesnt refresh, google backup disabled in favour of emui cloud, broken safety net in Betas, spotty Google pay integration... The list goes on.
But the most annoying problem imo is the inability to use Google assistant in voice match. Thanks to some mysterious problem most likely related to huaweis voice assistant (hivoice, yoyo, emy are basically all the same thing). Google assistant voice match is disabled and greyed out for Chinese mainland emui roms. I can say this affect all phones because I have personally tested 5 (mate s, mate 9 pro, p10 plus, P20 pro, mate 20 pro) running emui 4 to emui 9.
No conventional debugging method on Google's forums, from uninstalling to factory reset (short of replacing emui with a new custom rom, I tried that too) can fix this issue.
This issue seemed to have not gained as much attention as it needs as people seems to frequently mistake this for other, easily fixable issues and post their greviences under those posts, and are promptly directed to common, not useful debug steps.
This is a very detrimental problem for an otherwise relatively enjoyable hardware experience, and despite the amount of people experiencing this issue (people post about this a lot in Google's product forums but rarely gets a proper response). There has been no real solution or explanation.
Hi,
I have already posted it in another post. I noticed on my Honor View 10 that there is a connection between the Private Space and the Google Assistant. Whenever I have used the private space and then switched back to the normal account, the Assistant will then click out. It was also reproducible on my phone, but I can not say how it is related. Since the soft and hardware of the Huawei and Honor phones are similar, I thought it helps here. I have now deleted the private space and restarted the phone. After I have not used private space after the last reboot, the assistant works since yesterday without problems.
Regards Ralf.

On chinese roms (model AL00 and Al10 huawei) google assistant voice activition is broken in general. Third party apps do not play well with private space, as it is essentially like a sandbox environment.

Huawei and honor are the same thing, hardware and software. However there is a massive difference in terms of software between mainland China and outside huawei/honor software, including lack of launcher changing, hivoice which replaces Google assistant, lack of location sharing capability as huawei does not use Google location services in China software, as well as more bloatware and less privacy. The screen time management on China roms also activates a Chinese vpn that essentially blocks everything that is also blocked in China, fb, Google the whole shabam.
Hello there, i live in Turkey and i m planning to buy Vivo X80 from Taobao.com
Seems like its Chinese version and i couldn't find any answer if i buy this version will i have bear tons of problems such as connection mobile network, installing banking apps etc. ?
And according to vivo official website, there is no way to install global rom to chinese version. is this true or there are someway as unofficial way?
is there any experiance have you got before such like this?
I have the Vivo X Note, which was released a few weeks before the Vivo X80. They both have the same Chinese Origin OS operating system. Some developers on this forum are working on a method to unlock the bootloader and flash the global FunTouch operating system on the Vivo X70. Once they have finished their work the method should work for other devices using the Origin OS Ocean operating system. As for using the Chinese Origin OS operating system, I'm in Canada where the working language is English, and I haven't had any problems. I connect to the local 5G network and my banking apps and Google Pay work fine. My carrier would not enable VoLTE functions on the phone, but that is because of their policy to only enable VoLTE on devices purchased from them. Most European carriers allow VoLTE on these phones, but if VoLTE is important to you (you need it if you travel to the United States where they have shut down 3G networks) then you should check with your carrier before purchasing the phone. Almost all Google services work on the phone - ie Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, etc., but although you can tap the microphone icon in Google Assistant and then issue it voice commands, it won't respond to "OK Google" voice activation because the phone has its own Chinese voice assistant built-in, which can be disabled, but not replaced. Google Backup, and Google Maps Timeline won't work, but those were the only limitations I've run into. I also found that if you replace the default Vivo Messages app with Google Messages you won't receive notifications when the phone is in dark mode. I replaced the default app with Next SMS and it does receive notifications in dark mode.
I got vivo x fold in the US
And I can tell you almost everything works under CN version ROM
except Android Auto which requires root, currently there is no good solution for rooting VIVO. just let it be I think
I'm thinking of buying the x80 pro but Chinese version ..
tell me android auto does it work for you? for me it is very important that works!
Android Auto, Google Maps history/timeline, Google backup won't work, and although you can tap on the microphone icon and use voice commands in Google Assistant, you can't open it by voice (OK Google). Google Messages notifications don't work in system wide dark mode. Make sure your carrier will enable VoLTE on the phone, some won't.

Whenever the system-wide dark mode is activated, Google Messages notifications stop functioning. Check with your service provider to make sure the phone can use VoLTE, as not all of them do.

So glad I found your answer! So regarding the Google map timeline. Since Google map still works on vivo, can I still view the current map timeline if I log in from another platform, like a laptop web browser?

Buying a Chinese version of the Vivo X80 from Taobao may cause problems with mobile network connections and installing banking apps. It's true that there is no official way to install a global ROM on a Chinese version, but there may be unofficial methods. It's important to research and consider the risks before making a purchase.

The Xiaomi Home app suffers from a problem with PUSH notifications not working. It is likely that the problem has been present for many years.
The problem is well known and widely commented on the internet both on forums and in comments on Google Play. For example https://c.mi.com/thread-3056817-1-0.html
At least part of the problem is due to the smartphone shutting down Xiaomi Home to save energy. Nevertheless, a large number of the reports come from people who are aware of how to configure the smartphone to not close the app.
An example of such a post accurately describing the problem is https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=1455606
Searching the Internet, I discovered that people from all over the world are experiencing this problem. I found the problem described in English, French, Spanish and Italian forums. Interestingly, it also affects Xiaomi smartphone users. Multi-screen discussion and unfortunately no solutions.
My observations - PUSH notifications work on Bluestack (Android 7.x)
Xiaomi does not seem to notice the mentioned problem. I write on the XDA Forums because there are people here who have a good understanding of how Android works.
Questions for you guys:
- How to debug the problem to draw any conclusions? Determine what is failing.
- Is it possible that the problem is due to some kind of US/China sanctions?
- I have heard that PUSH notifications work differently on the Chinese market, they don't use Google's dedicated service there. Could this be related?
As far as I know, PUSH notifications do work differently on the Chinese market. The GCM/FCM as well as other Google's dedicated services do not work.
Possibly. However, it still seems very strange to me that Xiaomi sells devices tailored to, for example, the European market, has European servers and the app distributed by Google Play uses the PUSH system operating in the Chinese market.
Sounds quite unlikely, given the huge popularity of Xiaomi hardware outside China.
However, if this is true then Xiaomi Home probably supports only MiPush http://mipush.global.xiaomi.com/ so we would need something like a wrapper for MiPush to send notifications to GCM/FCM. Unfortunately I'm not an Android developer.
It still puzzles me why I was getting notifications from Xiaomi Home on Bluestacks 4 running Android 7.x. It looks like some mechanism compatible with other markets is implemented - just not working with newer Android?
Additional information: Notifications work on Xiaomi Mi 6 - Android 9
i have same issue.
any solution yet ?
i followed all steps in this video twice and didnt work
None of the old solutions work. Xiaomi Home does not like some regions. For example, European Android devices (from version 10 I think) present themselves with the region 'eea'. Xiaomi Home does not accept this ( three-letter problem?) region - initiating push notifications crashes, as you can see in the logs (see link below).
I think the closest to solving the problem is this answer https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/missing-push-notifications.4133417/
You can of course change the region in Android, but this requires root and is rather pointless. Other apps may not work properly.
I suppose it would take 1 day to fix the app. Why hasn't Xiaomi fixed this for several years? It remains a mystery.
If anyone knows a way to change the region without root, just for one application then please let me know.
Any solution yet? Still no notifications with oneplus 9 pro and android 13. I have done any "fix" I have found and nothing.
