With the release by the Xiaomi.eu team of the before Rom MIUI Multilanguage, you can finally install a MIUI completely in Italian, with integrated google services (playstore, contacts, calendar, frames, playervices) and no other Chinese applications.
Foreword (read it!)
This guide will illustrate how to do it in one procedure:
- Installation of Recovery TWRP, necessary to install and start the custom ROMs
- Installation of MIUI Multilanguage which includes Italian and all Google services (PlayStore, Contacts, Calendar, etc ..)
It is required a priori unlocking the bootloader!
The method is unique but valid both for the version Developer (developer) and Stable (stable) of xiaomi.eu
The proposed links refer to the latest versions. In the case of developer you will receive updates automatically. If you need to download more recent versions, remember that the Xiaomi Mi5 model code is "gemini"
If you do not know the differences between the different versions, read my insights: Differences between the versions of MIUI
Installation
Download the version you like. Stable o Developer
Break the ROM
Unpack the archive in a traceable path (eg C: \) and have no spaces in the middle.
Download and install the MiFlash
It is strongly recommended to run the application on an 64bit system, a virtual machine is fine.
During installation, a warning will ask you for permission to install unverified drivers. Click on Install the driver software.
Start the phone in Fastboot mode
When the phone is off, press and hold the button KEY VOLUME DOWN + KEY POWER until the phone is restarted in fastboot. You should see a black screen with the Xiaomi mascot and a blue fastboot writing.
Connect the phone to the original cable
Launch the MiFlash application
On the main program end, click on Browse and select the folder where you unpacked the ROM
Still on the main window of the program, click on the arrow next to it Browse and select Advanced. Select for FastBoot Script the file flash_all.bat which is in the ROM folder that you unlinked (the default program should address you in that path).
Do not change the others.
Press the FLASH button
This will start the procedure which will eventually restart the phone and will take about 15 minutes overall. Wait.
If you chose the version developer, starting from this moment, every Friday (approximately) you will automatically receive the update.
If you have chosen the version stable, you will always have to go to xiaomi.eu and look for it the TWRP version for Gemini.
that is with this guide you install in a single stroke both twrp and rom?
exact!
but which do you recommend the stable or developer? or rather which rom you recommend
On our facebook group for Mi5 no one has complained about any of the 2 versions. With the developer you have the most up-to-date updates, with the stack a bit more stable. With the developer if you unlock the bootloader you have the root permissions automatically
Hello Simone! I now have the china dev (within a few days unlock the bootloader) but it does not convince me too many bugs.
How does the multilanguage developer behave? Is it based on the Chinese rom so the small bugs will be the same?
Tangible differences between the official global dev and that .eu?
thanks in advance of the answers ... (then I have another question lol)
Eh yeah, it's based on china dev so the little bugs are the same if not more. Always very tiny things of course
