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...
Flash xiaomi.eu ROM

This should help: http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/
I haven't tested it myself, as I'm also waiting for the phone delivery.
This is just for the whole google stuff, you might want to first uninstall all apps in the normal app uninstall menu.
Flash xiaomi.eu ROM as @Klanac89 said and then I use App Quarantine to freeze remaining bloatware. Works a dream.
How to disable "security" app without issues? When I try delete apk with root I have a lot of FC and other issues.
Is there any way possible to instal a stock-like ROM on the Xiaomi Mi5S? Cyanogenmod for example, rooting, TWRP recovery all that stuff.
Thanks in advance

No, not until we get kernel sources and someone builds the roms

Can root / instal twrp + xiaomi.eu rom and customize it as u want with xposed.
Probably not as good as CM, but is a good start.

Use the guide from xiaomi.eu, (unfortunatelly i can not post link on this forum yet), the post is called "All-in-one Guide Compilation On How To Flash Xiaomi.eu Roms On Your Mi5s"
I used the guide above to succesfully flash xiaomi eu rom on my mi5s. All the necessary links to tools and roms are available in the guide.

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?

Could the changes be in the APKs and not the kernel?

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?

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.

So yeah, the beta test for the MIUI 8, based on Android 7, Global ROM is soon starting!
It's already started bro, about 3 weeks ago....only for miui beta team mebers....so yes it is a closed beta....but you can test the new xiaomi.eu build....it's awesome...
Wasn't that other Beta the Chinese variant?
Anyway, I'll stick to the official release, as I use finance apps which require a not rooted device.

Yes but xiaomi.eu is also not rooted....you can root it manually via twrp...
But I thought the xiaomi.eu rom does not fulfill the google safetynet test?

Exactly, even Official Devoloper still not pass it due of google legal.
How to enable this guys? I am currently on custom rom but I want to move to official rom now. If anyone know how to enable gcam please mention here.
I would also be keen on finding out how to use gcams on official android 9.0 pie for mi A1
You need to find the post in this forum to enable google2api first. Warning it may wipe your device. So have a backup.
Then there are many posts here as well on various versions of gcam that can be installed. Fyi, it's not perfect, especially on pie. But it's fun to play with

Hello, I searched for ROMs running Android 8.1 and lower but couldn't find any. I want WPS connect feature but as Google has removed it in Pie. Will there be any Android 9- ROM?

You couldn't find any, because the RN7 came with Android 9.
Every ROM for the RN7 is based on 9.0 so I don't know why you're asking that question

Yes I know RN 7 was released with Android 9 but I'm asking is there any way to downgrade to lower Android versions.
No, there are no -9 Roms for Lavender.
And i don't think that we will ever get one, as developers focus on Q right now.
Maybe you should try a slightly older phone, like Mi 8 lite, which came with Oreo.

Yes - if you built those lower Android version ROMs yourself. I assume that you will not attempt to do this (because neither will anyone else). So, as long as you want to use lavender, you are stuck.
Hi All,
I have a ZTE Axon 7 (model A2017G) android version 7.1.1, build ZTE A2017GV1.2B10, Kernel 3.18.31, european version
I'm looking for what is the best android version for this phone currently, in terms of performance and features. Also a safe version without malware spyware ect
With the version I have it can be slow with apps and miss many feature for instance i can't block a caller etc not sure why i installed it from package i got here.
I'm not looking for last android version or anything just the one that will make the phone best perform. It's from 2017 after all.
If you can let me know also where i can download this best version ?
many thanks !
I'm sorry I don't know what the best version is, but these forums have at least two modern CM 16's for Axon7. One thread is

I would recommend updating to official 8.0 version B04. Works well and is an improvement over 7.1
