Perhaps I should mention this first: If you decide to install this app, do NOT install anything important within there. As suggested before, also

don't

use your main google account, create a new one I'd suggest. Also, it probably makes the rest of your phone also vulnerable to malware etc.

That said I used it since october and had no issues. Again, I only use it for non-important apps. Good luck!

The only option I'm aware of is xspace / yourplay, a sort of umbrella app which links apps to your google account, the app is officially called: Google空间

It is only available in Chinese as far as I can tell. My workflow with using this app, is to send screenshots of the settings etc to my pc and translate the images. Yet, most pop up screens etc I just click through without reading. Once the app is installed you can install google translate and translate the screenshots.

The link is the following, be cautious: http://www.texcn.cn/az/soft/xtgj/2019-01-18/9088.html

Gapps solution?

I was supposedly sent a zip with the solution to install a Nubian rom z18 with the Google Gapps, but when I try to install it it appears in the following error message.

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I leave the link in case you can help to develop new roms or to create an installable zip in recovery.

[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] curtisy:
Hey, where exactly did you get the zip from? I'm just curious. I'll try doing a diff with the chinese one, maybe they're the same. But would be interesting to see where it originates.

EDIT: I think the issue is that verified boot is still enabled but I'm not sure. Have you tried rooting the phone first and then flashing the zip?
[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] Candle1998:
Do you still need the translation of the GitHub doc?

I mean maybe I could do some help with this (as I'm also looking forward to have Linage on this device)
[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] curtisy:
Hey, thank you for the will to help!

I don't need the translation anymore as the private keys used to encrypt and decrypt verified boot on this device were posted online. That way avb shouldn't be any issue anymore hopefully.

I'm still working on getting the ROM to work though, currently upstreaming the kernel hoping I find any hints. And lo and behold, I figured my configuration was wrong! So up to a new start with hopefully better results this time haha

Hi. I've managed to boot some GSI roms including phhtreble after rooting my phone with a chinese guy tool. Search youyim nubia z18 root

It seems to be related to a signing process.

Unfortunately there are some troubles with that roms (audio, mtp and fingerprint mainly)
[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zahidul Hasan:
No one able to make a working rom for this ****ty phone yet !:o
[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] curtisy:
The problems come from nubia itself. If you look at their source code, they added lots of their own (not really well made) source code, especially to fingerprint. I'm not sure about mm anymore but that would explain mtp issues. Unfortunately since those roms need to be GSI/treble compatible, there's not much you can do I think
[ZTE Nubia Z18 Guides, News, & Discussion] curtisy:
It's not ****ty at all! It's just that nobody puts any effort into making a rom work, which is why it takes so long. I've been trying for half a year now, by myself with pretty much no help at all. I fixed avb for this phone, even contributed to ZTE because their source was lacking a folder needed at compile time. I never got any credit for it (instead they deleted their github account and just created a new one with the fix I submitted lol.. laughable practice but whatever). I was about to quit twice, but since my old phone is slowly dying and I spent lots of money on this thing, I got motivated to keep going.

Compiling an Android ROM from scratch isn't easy, it takes time, especially with a full time job and other projects that you have in your queue to work on. It's also frustrating when you see how a 56% progress turns into 7% after you fix a build error. But it's still worth it if you ask me. And really everyone in this thread can help if they have enough time to ask for ETAs or whatever, a build takes about 20 minutes. It's one command you need to run in your terminal of choice. I'm doing nothing else but copying from other kernel trees all the time, then build again, rinse and repeat until I reach a point where I either fixed it or give up again.

However Android is a huge project, so it might take ages until I'm done copy pasting things around. Just saying there's still someone working on it, but it's going to take time as I have better things to do than see how builds fail all day

Hi! what kernels work fine (with Goodix Support) with Resurrection Remix Oreo (6.2.1 2018/10/10 FINAL)?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Good Day all,

I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?

Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?

Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)

Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:

Kind Regards
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Yes you can go back. Yes you can get updates
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] aboodelsoory:
I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive

my questions are:

1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?

2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?

3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine

2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc

3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] aboodelsoory:
Thank you , ok then I will buy the chinese device and maybe if I needed assistance I can reach to you :)

Is it also possible to Re-lock the bootloader after the completion?

After ! have put the Global ROM on the phone, i want to:

1. revert the recovery back to stock

2. un-root

3 .Re-lock the bootloader

Is this possible?

Is there a copy of the original Recovery available?

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Only relock the bootloader on the ROM base it came with. So if your phone came with the Chinese ROM do not relock bootloader with global. If you do it's goodbye phone

Stock ROM will install stock recovery once phone has booted up
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Duly noted about the Bootloader.

Is there a way to get the likes of Google Pay to work on the Global ROM on the chinese phone without using Magisk Hide
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Thank you for this information.

What EU ROM would you suggest to get all features based on your experience?

So just to clarify, if I get a Chinese Mix 3, unlock bootloader, flash official global ROM, I CANNOT relock the bootloader, unless I flash back to the Chinese ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Yes that's correct
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Thank you for clarifying & replying quickly, was really hoping there would be a workaround or alternative way to get around the brick to be locked again but I guess not..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Thank you for the link.

So when I flash this ROM, will it also re-flash the stock recovery?

Will this make any difference when I/We recieved the weekly OTA update?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.

OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Excellent Stuff :o

Is there any known problems at this present time with this custom MIUI ROM
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
All ok
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] neilgeaney1:
Excellent Stuff

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.

Just a quick note to mention that after you do:

fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img

DO NOT

put in the command:

fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img

After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.

I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.

Hope this helps :good:

Ok thanks. but will I lose TWRP when I flash via TWRP and will I get OTA updates?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
We don't know about OTA updates yet, because they haven't released an update for the global software since the only version we have right now. There are no fastboot files for the global version, but I would bet once we have them, OTAs for the global software will work just fine on the Chinese version of the device.

how can I do ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblewave:
Look at post #7 on the first page of this thread. Don't re-lock the bootloader unless you flash the version that the phone had when you bought it. If you flash the original Xiaomi rom, I believe it will also replace TWRP with the stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nibera:
I originally had the rom miui_mimix3global_v10.0.11.0.peemifh

So I want to get back stock and re-lock the bootloader, where do I get the rom and the instructions for doing this?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblewave:
Find the original rom (and make absolutely sure if you're going to lock the bootloader), then flash it from fastboot I believe. There are plenty of guides around for doing this, I haven't done it myself so I'm going to let you look for yourself.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nibera:
I can do this via xiaomiMiFlash and also block the bootloader, but I can not find the rom miui_mimix3global_v10.0.11.0.peemifh for fastboot.

my mi mix 3 and the version sold in Italy therefore with global rom in origin

so now I can not return stock with the bootloader block not having a stable global fastboot rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
If you can't install global ROM back onto the phone you can't relock the bootloader.

After 31st January you won't be able relock bootloader on any alpha or beta ROM as well so be careful

So as long as the global ROM fastboot does not come out, I can not get back stock and lock the bootloader, right?

China stock rom

Ive just locked my MI 9 8GB 128GB after installing Global ROM on it.

Now my phone is not booting to MIUI and it keeps on Mi-Recovery 3.0 and keep displaying this warning: "This MIUI version cant be installed on this phone"

Is there any solution?

Is there any way to restore factory rom? :confused:

My idea is to the following steps:

1> REINSTALL CHINA STOCK ROM

2> CONFIGURE MY MI ACCOUNT TO CELLPHONE

3> UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

4> REINSTALL GLOBAL VERSION

Is it correct? How do i reinstall CHINA STOCK ROM? :silly:

You've bricked it so you probably won't be able to install the China Rom

You can always try using miunlock to reunlock it (if you didn't wipe phone when flashing global) or use miflash for fastboot but don't think it will solve it

[Magisk] Skittles9823:
FAQ​

What does this module do?

The only thing this module does is changes which launcher controls your recents

Can I get app actions, or recents text/picture selection with this module?

This module doesn't control what features a launcher has. All it does is grant the launcher more permissions and enable a launchers access to recents.

How to get Oreo/Oreo Grid recents?

For Oreo recents simply set your recents provider to SystemUI and reboot.

If the SystemUI option doesn't show up it's because you're on Android 10 and the Oreo recents fallback has been removed from AOSP.

For grid recents follow these instructions:

1. Set the recents provider to SystemUI

2. Tap the three dot menu and toggle "Enable grid recents" to on

3. Reboot.

The FAQ will grow as more questions come to mind.

​
[Magisk] Skittles9823:
Common Issues & How To Fix​

Launcher is constantly crashing

This generally means you are using a launcher port and didn't follow the instructions correctly. Here is a refresher:

1. Install QuickSwitch.

2. Install the launcher, don't set it as your default launcher.

3. With any other launcher, open QuickSwitch.

4. Set your desired launcher as your recents provider.

5. Reboot.

6. Verify the new launcher is now your recents provider in QuickSwitch.

7. Set the selected as your default launcher.

8. Profit.

If the launcher still crashes afterward get the module logs and a crash log using https://github.com/tacothedank/scoop

Setting the provider is successful but it still didn't work after a reboot

type this command in a terminal

su -c cmd overlay dump xyz.paphonb.quickswitch.overlay

If you see this line:

mState.................: STATE_NO_IDMAP

You need to ask your rom maintainer to add this commit. only for your device, it will cause issues on other devices.

Another fix you can do yourself if that happens is enter this command in a root environment (If stuffs breaks after doing this delete the .replace file through ADB).

mkdir -p /data/adb/modules/quickswitch/system/vendor/overlay && touch /data/adb/modules/quickswitch/system/vendor/overlay/.replace

Great!

Works well on this setup:

OnePlus 6

Pixel Experience ROM

Lawnchair Alpha 721

Quickstep 1.0.6

Just one issue that I've had before. I use Fluid NG to get access to navigation gestures on Pixel software. It removes the navbar by moving it to the invisible area "under" your display or something. In HTML world, this would have to do with margins and padding.

The result is this:

[IMG="The moving of the navbar also affects the recently opened apps. They are moved down as well"]https://i.imgur.com/j837JWc.png[/IMG]

With the navbar on, it looks alright:

[IMG="Navbar wasn't moved, recents don't have a problem"]https://i.imgur.com/OeViWqW.jpg[/IMG]

Is it possible for you to fix this or provide an option to do so? Maybe by doing a reverse-padding for the app previews or something like that? ? I'll be happy to assist further.

Love the module and enjoy using the more aesthetically pleasing One Plus Launcher.

Yet I have an issue, not major, but an issue nonetheless, using split screen breaks it.

Doing so causes you to be unable to scroll through the apps and it springing back to the last used. Only way to stop the behaviour is if One Plus Launcher is listed as last used and you can dismiss it and still select another app to split screen. If not, then you have to come out of split screen open multi tasking and closing all as the springing back attitude persists until you do so.

Thanks for the work you've done with this though ?
