[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Angelina7:
Yes, once you unlock your bootloader again, you can flash indian global firmware, which has less bloats, google apps and services included, and poco launcher.

For debloating cn rom, there is a tool here, I'll find and link.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] kibria.mgk:
May use this for debloating- https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] dev-DaT:
Hi, this is the program that i've been using for removing the xiaomi apps, however when some of the listed apps are removed the phone won't be able to restart anymore and i have to do a reset.

For now, i manually removed all the removable spyware by hand and installed blokkada to deny communication to xiaomi servers. I don't dare to remove a lot of system apps trough adb anymore since i had to reset my phone 5 times already... i just want to use it now...
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Angelina7:
Just endure the pain until bootloader is unlocked again then move over to the Indian rom, its much more tolerable.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Aimara:
there no mi 9t pro rom yet ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
This is the safest option. Whilst waiting for bootloader unlocking I just uninstalled anything that could be and disabled anything else that could be disabled. There were still many things I wanted to remove that could not be uninstalled or disabled, but decided I could live with them for a week.

After your week is up, you've got many options. If you like MIUI but not the bloat and spyware, then there are MIUI custom ROMs that remove the junk, xiaomi.eu ROMs being one of the biggest. Otherwise there are AOSP based custom ROMs that are stable enough to use.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Angelina7:
No not yet, we are all waiting for it, it should be released soon.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] dev-DaT:
Yeah i guess ill have to endure being tracked 24/7 for a week ... thanks for all your responses. I am happy to know i can just go back to custom rom after the bootloader is unlocked.

I just hope i don't **** it up like last time.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] phkopp:
Hello, I have a cruel doubt. I was really wondering if after I unlock the bootloader (I have a Chinese rom) doing Global installation I can lock the bootloader? Because you have this possibility and I believe we received normally correct updates, can anyone help me?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
NO.

If you try and lock the bootloader with anything that is not the original region you will hard brick the phone.

If you have a Chinese phone, then you can only lock the bootloader when installing an official Chinese ROM.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ntmalol:
I think only the account used to unlock the blootloader can relock and re-reunlock it.

If you lock the phone, you won't be able to unlock it again with another account.

It is just a safety mechanism from xiaomi.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
You don't need an account to lock the bootloader.

Provided that there is not a Mi account linked to a phone, then anyone who has the phone in their possession can unlock it.

When people have bought a phone already unlock, then accidentally locked it, they have been able to unlock it themselves if the seller has already unlinked the phone from the sellers Mi account
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] android2819:
So basically it is possible, if one gets a k20 pro flashed with global rom, that if the seller forgets to remove his account from the phone, you're stuck using ONLY other roms? In other words, in order to relock the bootloader and install official chinese rom, you need to contact the seller and ask him to go on his mi account to remove your phone?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Yes there has been a few cases on these forums where this had happened.

However, you can still use official MIUI ROMs, you can still flash the Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader. The problem then is that you cannot unlock the bootloader again if the phone it's still linked to another account.

If you buy a Chinese phone with a global ROM, why would you then want to flash a Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader? You would be better off just buying the phone still with the Chinese ROM and locked, if that's what you wanted.

People have had problems because they've been flashing an official ROM with the Mi Flash Tool and accidentally left the flash option to flash and lock. When flashing with the Mi Flash Tool you just need to remember to change the default flash option every time you use it.

If you never relock the bootloader, then you will never have this problem and can still use official MIUI.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] phkopp:
Ok, thanks for clearing up my doubts.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

I actually have another one. Can I install bootloader-unlocked update pscotes in the global rom on k20 pro without losing files, or everytime I have to install full rom?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
I'm not sure what you're asking. I'm guessing pscotes is a typing error.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] phkopp:
Packages*
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
If you've installed an official global ROM you will still get OTA updates that will install normally, without loss of your data

Is there a way change recent app styles on pie like we could in oreo?

I have root too if that helps
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
which rome are you on?

anways for miui10

Go to recent apps tray with atleast one app open. Now just pinch outwards on the app tray. This will change the view of the tray.

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] ilmervanhattem:
bluetooth or wifi and cellurlar network aren't working after flashing twrp and roms...

I've also restored stock roms with fastboot method.

anyone has a fix or solution?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] ilmervanhattem:
also restored stock rom
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] stevendoesstuffs:
I believe this is because you wiped your PDS/EFS partition. If you can get this from someone, you can flash theirs (but make sure to replace all data in it, like IMEI and MAC addresses).

AOSIP is good, but status bar is always messed up, either on the lockscreen or homescreen:D
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Can you elaborate more on the aosip status bar issue? I don't recall noticing a problem
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] imna357:
There's a space in between the status items on and off, never happened to any other ROM I tried. instead of a dot on the status bar, it is just blank space. example the VOlte sign

As much as I don't want to redo all my apps/settings now and again with Q this close to prod, I am super excited by this. I am just wondering about the instructions. No wiping instructions before installing the OS .zip?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Just wipe /data if clean flashing
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
Thanks. I was hoping just cache and data (Just data is even better - that's an entire TWRP check mark saved :p if coming from August stock rooted as opposed to a pre-install factory reset or flash of system/vendor/radio.

I followed all the steps to flash this ROM, how can I validate that I am running Havoc-OS-v3.0? I still see stock Android 10 running and not Havoc-OS-v3.0
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ins5736:
Yup.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
You should see the havoc boot animation. Also when you click the Android version on the about phone screen, it should display the havoc logo and version

Did you flash stock to both slots first?

ADB flashes havoc to the opposite slot you are currently using and then make that opposite slot active. If you haven't flashed the Android 10 factory image to that opposite slot, it will fail to boot and switch back to the slot you were previously using stock on.

Also, you will know if the havoc zip flashed successfully if it returns status 0 on the phone upon completion
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pahlerc1:
yeah i was able to get it working. i read a few pages back ppl had issues with it. but i'm not sure what those issues were. everything booted just fine for me. following instructions does wonders haha been rooting for 6 yrs or so, that seems to get me by haha
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RegnierD:
FWIW, I made note of what my current slot was in fastboot and then flashed the patched boot IMG to that slot (fastboot flash boot --slot b in my case) and it worked just fine. Given that I had seen some people having slot challenges, this seems to be a safe way to go about it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ins5736:
I thought I had this working, but it seems not since I don't see the Havoc boot ani. I followed the instructions and I'll outline here:

Used flashall.bat from October factory image to slot a

Used fastboot to change slot a

Rebooted fastboot to confirm slot changed

Used fastboot to change slot b

Flashed stock recovery boot to slot b

Wiped data

Rebooted to fastbootD

Sideloaded Havoc zip

Rebooted... to Google boot ani

I tried going back and sideloading the zp to the other slot ans no joy there either.

Is anyone else getting slow downs after a few hours of use?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
I love replying to myself, LOL. I figured out what was causing my adb shell issue. I'll have to try it on my stock/rooted pixel 3 (aka my wife's phone), but the issue was being caused by BlackenedMod (getting rid of the mod makes shell work again putting back breaks it). I'll have to hit xFirefly93 up in his thread. At least I diagnosed it without another image.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QRCode:
Yes I am heavily dunno why
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pahlerc1:
can someone help me figure out an issue... has to do with changing the navigation bar option... i looked through the configuration center "under gestures and navigation" and the normal location for gestures under system settings. i can't find how to change the navigation gesture button style (full gesture/two button/three button)

For some reason, i applied a theme through substratum, didn't theme the navigation bar, and when it rebooted it had the "3 button style" when i was on the "2 button". I can't use the full gesture because i use nova launcher.

I can't find where the setting is to change it back to the "2 button" ?? also in the "3 button navigation bar" the recents button isn't working. lets me push it, but the "recent apps" doesn't pop up. so as of right now the recent apps isn't working for me and that's a problem haha :p
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
If you want to play with the full gesture nav you can use the fluid navigation app and set it up the same (or customized)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pahlerc1:
i appreciate the response. and the recommendation of an app for full gestures. but this doesn't help my situation. i am fine with the two button style navigation bar. but I can't figure out how to get this three button style navigation bar off the screen. i even download the app you mentioned and chose to hide the navigation bar, allowed root. and it's still there?

update: not sure what is going on. but i got full gestures using the app you mentioned and got the hideous 3 button style nav bar to disappear. now set up for one of the swipes to be recent apps... i think something is wrong with the recent apps but i have no idea how to troubleshoot or describe it. tried rebooting but didn't help. don't need a response, just posting and sharing my experiences thus far
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheProblemCauser:
You can search for Navigation in settings, it should pull up the menu for you
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
Sorry, I'm still on stock with Nova/fluid, so I can't speak to it on Havoc (yet!). It has been flawless for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pahlerc1:
sounds good. appreciate the response. i like this fluid app thus far! seems smooth and has lots of features for gestures, i'm a fan already!

i was loving my stock rom setup, but figured since november security update will be released monday, now would be a good time to do some flashing if a custom rom came out :)

other than this recent apps issue, which i believe is the main culprit, Havoc OS has been phenomenal thus far. i haven't had any slowdowns yet like someone on a previous page said. very fast and snappy for me. just gotta figure out this recent apps issue or it'll drive me crazy :silly:

Update:

recent apps issue is because i accidentally froze Pixel Launcher... silly me all is well!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] STALKER18:
Hi,

I just got it Installed, its amazing.

this is for now, if I encounter another problem/issue I will feedback.

Thanks :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RegnierD:
Things have been pretty solid so far. I've had some stuttering in pulling down the quick settings with no ability to reproduce the conditions and a couple surface flinger stutters, but everything else has been fine. Thank you.

As of now, is there any way to change the color of the alternate lock screen clocks? I don't dislike the pale red, but I've gone with a teal color everywhere else and it would be nice to have that changed as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] usablefawn:
Been running 3.0 for a bit. Pretty solid for the most part. However, like some people mentioned before, I'm also seeing some slow downs. Almost like a throttle. Seems to happen when I'm using a lot of apps at the same time.

For example, I might be messaging through Instagram, sending some Snaps and switching songs on Spotify. The music might stop or apps become unresponsive. Quick settings pull down animation becomes super slow.

I have cleared all recent apps when this happens, but when I open them back up they either hang up on the splash screen or become unresponsive after opening up and are used for a few seconds.

Another issue for me is random freezes when the phone is asleep. It's random though so it's hard to reproduce. I'll use my phone, lock it, go back to it later as usual and the screen won't turn on. Again, this is random and happens maybe twice a day. A reboot fixes this for me. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheProblemCauser:
I'm also experiencing this. Also experiencing random reboots.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkstar73:
I'm experiencing the freezing issue as well. Also happens to me on stock. Around 3-4 times a day. If the November update doesn't fix it, I'm going back to Pie.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
I guess I will be the one to say that other than the shell issue I was having (which had nothing to do with Havoc), it has been rock solid since install. The only other thing I needed to do was get external Facebook Messenger links to open in Chrome (I assume because of the web viewer issue) instead of in the app.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] STALKER18:
Hi,

squeeze option still not functional ?

How do you flash factory image to both slots?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] usablefawn:
I use fastboot --set-active=a or fastboot --set-active=b

Once It's switched, I reboot back to bootloader and make sure I see the slot I switched to, either 'Boot slot: a' or 'Boot slot: b' from command above.

Finally, I just flash factory image again and follow the instructions on how to flash from there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] craigpuchta:
When I flashed 10 I used flash-all.sh, it show's that it flashes to each slot,is this the same thing or am I confusing things?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sliding_billy:
I flash to one slot and shut down after the initial boot is complete to the colored blocks screen (no setup). Then boot to BL, switch slots and reboot to BL to confirm active slot has changed. Install 2nd slot, and again shut down at initial boot screen. Begin Havoc install.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] craigpuchta:
I have done this 3 times now with the same results. Flashed factory to both slots , followed instructions to flash havoc and it installs with status 0. But in the configuration center under animation and under system there are no options. Is that supposed to be that way or does anyone else have options under those two categories?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheProblemCauser:
It's supposed to be that way for now
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shaftamle:
Nice work on the ROM!

Isint it ashame that Google's decided to implement all these changes that flashing a ROM is a 10 step process? I remember when this was fun, not a project. Thank you OP for continuing to give us options. Sorry Google is F***ing everything up.

What exactly is a clean flash without TWRP? Is a factory reset required prior to flashing boot, erasing user data, and installing ROM via adb?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Pretty much. You can erase userdata at anytime in the process as long as it's prior to initial booting of rom. It will also wipe internal storage, there is no way to wipe /data while retaining internal storage until we have twrp
