Meizu Pro 5 Chinese ROM FlymeOS 5 Google Apps - Meizu Pro 5 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
so if I have Meizu Pro 5 with Chinese ROM FlymeOS 5, how do I install Google Apps? I don't want to flash FlymeOS 4.5.4.

Wow a Pro 5!
Go to appcenter, search "google installer", click on "history", and install 1.4.4 version

Well, I don't have it yet. I'm just asking if it's possible to install Google Apps without flashing new ROM.

Yes, you can.

Still I would like to point out that once coming with Chinese ROM (i.e. ROM version ending in A), it is a complex procedure to go to International ROM (i.e. I). I tried a how-to on Meizufans, but was close to bricking the device (Meizu MX5). At the end flashed back newer Chinese ROM.

Thank you, sir iicc , very much

Redmi Note 4G LTE - MIUI-KHICNBF96.0.1

Just got this little beast to play around with yesterday.
My minote4G is based on KitKat 4.4.2 running on MIUI V5, wondering if there's already any upgrade version to V6 for my Redmi Note Type mentioned above? ...
I read the forum here and miui english forum and seems to have so many types of Redmi Notes with different Type of ROM official Code. This is my first time having this confusing ROM Code compare to other handheld I have.
Appreciate it much of your help, to share some extra guidance.
I have the same ROM installed.
Looking for v6 I read a post in english miuiDotCom "[Tools, Tips & Tutorials] [MiUI Device Team] Note 3/4G - Which ROM should i use? "
There are 2 variants of Redmi Note 4G devices; (i) TDD-LTE, (ii) FDD-LTE. For both devices, you can choose between (i) 4G-Global, (ii) 4G , ROMs
4G-Global is v5 multi-languages, with google apps. 4G is v6 only chinese and english and does not have google-app preinstalled.
Roms can be downloaded from the same forum at Downloads.
Sorry I can´t post links.
Running this..it's the latest multi Miui V6 with all google apps pre-installed. No Chinese apps. Runs great and looks even better.
https://goo.im/devs/ibotpeaches/miuiandroid/releases/4.12.26m/
Official Stable V6 ROM
bigota.d.miui.com/V6.2.2.0.KHICNBK/miui_H3LTE_V6.2.2.0.KHICNBK_a7592e51ac_4.4.zip
You can checkout for updates from below link.
http://en.miui.com/download-218.html#342
Redmi Note 4G - Chinese and English
Redmi Note 4G Global - Multi Language.
You can also prefer to download developer ROM if you wish to play around, but be ready to handle if there are any minor bugs coz that is dev rom.
Good luck flashing!

Must I do a full wipe before I install this using the default or PhilipZ recovery? Will there be a problem if my phone is rooted?

If coming from an older version of MIUI then you do not need to full wipe. He releases a new version every week/Friday...here is the main page. Search for the latest date and go into that folder. In this case it's 5.1.9(date being 1/9/2015)...Our phone is named "dior". Every week you can go in and get the latest build. Just flash that in recovery without wiping your data and everything will stay intact. You will need to flash the latest SuperSU zip along with the ROM to maintain root or use the built in root app. The fact that you are rooted now does not matter.

Thanks for the useful information .. :good:
After flashing the following rom ..
Android version 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI version MIUI 4.12.26 Beta
Baseband version MPSS.DI.3.0-39afeeb
Kernel version 3.4.0-g26e4aff-00654-g222c97
Received the message 'Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped'. However, all the applications can run without problem.
What I missed in the flashing?
If you're coming from anything besides MIUI then you have to do a full wipe....Also, no need to flash a baseband or kernel. I would start fresh with the latest build from 1/10

Should I also flash the gapps for KK as well?
Talking about doing a full wipe, can I use PhilipZ recovery to do this?
Yes you can use Philz to wipe. Don't flash gapps. They're already included in these MIUI builds and it could cause issues.

[Q] an American trying to use google apps on a chinese Xiaomi Redmi Note 4g

hello!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 4g and I'm trying to set it up so it's actually useful to me. I've tried downloading the apk for google play app store, doesn't work. I think it might be because I'm using a Chinese ROM, but I have so far failed to replace my current ROM with a Global version, and I'm not sure why.
model number HM NOTE 1LTE
Android Version 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI version 6.4.1.0 (KHICNCB) Stable
is the global ROM sufficient? if so, how do I install it? I have attempted this, but I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided.
do I need a custom ROM?
all I really need is the ability to use google apps, I think. please help!

The Playstore app requires google services framwork installed as a system app, for that you need root access and/or a custom recovery

I think you are using chinese version, you need to update version by installing global version.
you can download the ROm , en miui forum
, save file in the root of memory internal, boot into recovery and choose update
Provided you have developer edition ROM (which comes pre-rooted) I had the same issue. Just search the Web for "Google installer for Xiaomi and you'll find an apk which will let you install Google Play and subsequently all the Google Apps.

Original Redmi Note 2 Roms

Hey everyone everyone on XDA has been great to me so thought I would give something back
I know MIUIs servers have been tragic lately so I have a mirror of the Dev MIUI 7 Rom and The Stable MIUI 6 Rom for the Redmi Note 2 both are completely unedited or modified and are the full Rom versions.
Author: MIUI Official TeamVersion: 5.9.11 (MIUI7) Size: 760M - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0QZN1lt0yyGNlo1VC1MelVWbTA/view?usp=sharing

To Install just download and use the MIUI updater app or you can use TWRP which ever you prefer. Any Issues let me know.

Thanks Kenneth, most useful!
If I flash V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH version, than I haven't got a 3G or 4G signal in hungary.
you can add "o" at the beginning of the download link to get a much faster download speed
for example the original link is http://bigota.d.miui.com/V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH/miui_HMNote2_V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH_7b45a9a562_5.0.zip
then the faster link will be http://obigota.d.miui.com/V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH/miui_HMNote2_V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH_7b45a9a562_5.0.zip
(add the letter 'o' before 'bigota')
Not sure why, my TWRP 2.8.6.0 could not update any zip. it says unable to mount
Thanks Kenneth
I'm trying to get the Miui6 stable version but Miui download site for Note2 always giving a 404 error. After flashing this version, I can download the latest version via the phone updater to V6.7.10.0.LHMCNCH

Mi Max Helium 3gb/64gb - first review (and ROM flash tips)

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/

Guide to debloat MIUI

I've searched but couldn't find anything useful about how to best debloat a Chinese MIUI ROM for the non-Chinese market? I'm awaiting a Xiaomi Mi 5S in the coming days which doesn't have an internatinoal ROM yet albeit any other AOSP cloaser ROM. So it will be coming with a Chinese ROM. I would surely like to debloat it properly and make Google apps available on it by default so it would be more like a normal Android phone. I've heard that MIUI is a ice ROM (only been using Nexus devices so far, but never tried anything else apart from original AOSP or some custom AOSP ROM (becase device wasn't officially supported any more by Google). So. Debloat a MIUI 8 then...

But is xiaomi.eu ROM official or is it just some other ROM that's faking officiality?
xiaomi.eu ROM is a custom rom, like CM. It just looks more or less the same and I think it's even part the same developers as the official ROM, but that's just a guess.

If they're not official devs, then I don't know how are they able to create custom ROM as Xiaomi hasn't officially released kernel sources? XDA developers can't do zilch about custom ROMS but they can. That would make them either creme de la creme of Android/Linux devs or they just have access to more Xiaomi original sources than the rest of the world does... Is there a third option?

I suppose they could be yes, but one would need either source code of all those APKs or at least a working reverse engineered source. Which gets us basically back to square one. There's a lot more APK sources than there is of the kernel. I would guess so. Which simply means much more work.
Honestly I'm not sure. I don't have an account at xiaomi.eu (yet), but maybe you want to ask your question there?

Sadly they don't write about SafetyNet there.
flash the mi 5s poland version rom which is official
https://miuipolska.pl/DOWNLOAD/
I haven't flashed it yet. However, from my past experience, the Polak rom comes rooted and debloated.
Hmm if that is the same as the official beta ROM, then this version doesn't yet include support for the MI 5s. That was probably completely added this week, in the new version 6.11.24 (source: http://en.miui.com/thread-417573-1-1.html). Release notes with the list of supported devices will be out tomorrow. Last weeks version included the 5s for the first time, but it was "on hold - because of new drivers", which means no download links.

No download links in 6.11.24 either. And I suspect that device listing has a typo as instead of stating Mi 5s it should likely state Mi 5s Plus which does have global ROM support. I sincerely hope there will be a global ROM for Mi 5s as well in the near future, but that may never happen. I hope my request to unlock doesn't get rejected though, so I have hopes of flashing the EU version... BTW: 6.11.24 still has Mi 5, Mi 5s (plus), Mi Mix on hold because of Qualcomm.

If this is official ROM then you should be able to flash it without unlocking your device. If an unlock is required, then I'm afraid this is not official as I'm pretty sure there is no special Polish version of the ROM. It's either Chinese or Global... Everything else is unofficial and requires bootloader unlock.
