Is it legal to make a rom around launcher pro free version
Yes.
You will actually be doing them a service, you'll encourage new users to download the PRO package who may have otherwise never of downloaded LP.
Ive just received my Mi Max from Top-One.
It is the S652, 3gb ram, 64gb storage
It has Miui 7.3.14.0.0
How do I update it to the latest stable MIUI version?
thank you
(when i use the in built updater it tells me that there are no updates available )
I think only the 32gb 650 has a global rom at the moment. I have the 652 4gb 128gb Max and am waiting for that global rom to come. Check on en.miui.com in the download section for the Max.
In the meantime, check if your ROM is legit. Actually, I'd unlock the bootloader and flash a new ROM to be sure.
Register a Mi account and apply for bootloader unlocking. Doesn't matter if you're outside of China and use a non Chinese number and state your reason in English. Takes a few days.
I bought a Mi5, Max, and Redmi Pro then made three new accounts and unlocked each one within 4 days.
Most important is to probably make sure you're not on a vendor rom.
Also tinker the app notifications. Enable notification light, lock screen notification, floating etc.
You might also want to "lock" apps in the memory so they won't reload or stop after you switch apps. To do that press the menu button and swipe down to.the app you want to be locked in memory. Then press the lock key.

How?
Vendor ROMs
Most Xiaomi devices that are bought through unofficial channels (grey market) come with this type of ROM. It has multiple languages and Google Play Store, but often also adware and bloatware, which are annoying and slow the phone down. This ROM is also buggy and unoptimised, so some things might not work (e.g. battery showing negative percentage or the rear LED not working at all), you might encounter issues and inconsistencies (e.g. freezing, lagging) and because of these attributes it is not safe to use. You can get rid of this ROM by flashing another ROM, usually via MiFlash. If your bootloader is locked, you can only flash official ROMs and only via EDL mode (see here).
Spotting a vendor ROM
It has system languages available other than Chinese and English
It has Google Play Store
Below Settings > About phone, MIUI version is fake (e.g. V7.00.99.00, V7.0.7.0.0 or 7.91.8.0) and the letter code afterwards has 'CN' or 'CL' in it
So what are the steps necessary to get this onto the latest stable official miui rom?
First thing you want to do is to get rid of the vendor ROM on your phone. En.miui.com has some tutorials on how to do it.

I have the exact same phone model (Mi Max Pro 3GB RAM, 64GB ROM) and the exact same
ROM: MIUI 7.3.14.0.0 Global as you have. Got my phone from a Chinese ebay vendor with very good
to excellent reviews.
Been using this 'unofficial vendor ROM' for quite sometime now and in fairness to whoever made the 'custom'
vendor ROM (I believe it is derived from the official global ROM of the 32GB Mi Max), the vendor ROM is very stable
and working very well for me. No reboots, forced closes/crashes or major problems with any of my 130+ apps:
Google apps (Gmail, playstore, newsstand, etc.), 10+ paid apps and 100+ free apps. The good thing about the ROM
is it has ZERO Chinese characters or apps in it. Just choose 'English' as default language and you're good to go.
I have decided to wait for the OFFICIAL global rom for the Mi Max Pro 64GB since the official Chinese ROM is
no good - it doesn't have playstore installed and installing playstore from third party sites is just as risky and tricky as having
a vendor/custom rom in the first place since you will be sideloading the playstore app, play services (and other supporting apps)
anyway. If you don't understand Chinese, how can you trust the sources of those sideloaded playstore apps? I'd rather
trust my vendor ROM as it comes from a seller with very good ebay rating (they care a lot about positive and negative feedback).
A Mi Max phone from a vendor selling the phone with malware and adware infested ROM will be bombarded with negative feedback.
Besides, I have not noticed any malicious apps, unusual ads or bloatware on this vendor ROM (MIUI 7.3.14.0.0) and
I trust it is the best option for me until such time the OFFICIAL global ROM for MI MAX PRO 64GB is released.
If you decide to go official, download the Chinese ROM but don't install playstore. Installing it from dubious sources
can introduce bloatware and malicious apps as well if you are not familiar with the Chinese app market or don't understand
a single Chinese character.

You can still install Google services apk's from legit sites like apk mirror if you want to stay on the China ROM. Or check out xiaomi.eu's ROM.

what is the point of unlocking the bootloader if you can still flash custom roms with a locked bootloader? (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-miui-8-global-t3439698)

EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode) allows to bypass the locked bootloader, but xiaomi can disable this edl mode with a simple update (e.g. mi5 since MIUI 7.3.x.x )
with bootloader unlocked your phone is totally open

Honestly I think you have a greater shot at bricking your phone after flashing a custom rom if it's locked. Or flashing the wrong firmware from a different model. I didn't have to do a battery pull after I flashed the wrong firmware on my Helium when I first got it. It's probably because I was already unlocked. I don't know why anyone here wouldn't wanna unlock.

Just an update. Finally got rid of the vendor ROM after Xiaomi released the official global ROM for helium devices.
My Mi Max 'Pro' (it is now called Mi Max 'Prime') is now on official MIUI 8 Global ROM using the procedure in this thread:

[EDIT] it is fixed! I got it working, it was BusyBox etc
Hi. I have a problem that is with lucky patcher, and I don't know how to fix it or if any alternative apps is available for it. My device is originally a Samsung Galaxy S5 2016 (sm-a510f) with swedish carrier known as Comviq(tele2) and has unlocked bootloader and is rooted through magisk. Don't know if following info helps but had a problem when changing from superSU to magisk that involved me flashing stock rom.
My problem with lucky patcher started now after I flashed my rom and THE problem is that I mostly use lucky patcher for in app purchases, and when I used stock rom...it worked flawless(just took it's time but worked 7-10 times. Those 3 times is apps that lucky patcher cannot hack ) but now, I have an app, let's say subway surfers because it should work with lucky patcher... When I had the stock rom... It showed me the process and then creating odex file and then optional patches or something like that... Didn't pay much attention but now... With lineageOS, it doesn't even go that far and then done, patch 1 and 2 are green, and that normally should work ( should work with only number 1 or number 2 green ) and I open the app. When I wanted to buy something before, the prices could look something like 0.33, 0.35, 0.82 etc but now, it shows me the full real price, and when I go to hack a purchase...it doesn't prompt me the usual lucky patcher pop up... It gives me the Google play store. Is there any fix to this like a flashable zip or is lucky patcher not possible because gapps was used for all Google apps. Down below you have some info and links to where i grabbed my lineageOS, my gapps type (stock,full, super etc) and such. I would like if anyone could try to help me with this problem and I haven't tried anything, the only thing I tried was to reinstall it, and that didn't do anything. If there is anything with me running lineageOS, or having Android 8.1, then is there any settings or module that could make it work? If not...is there any alternative apps that works like lucky patcher... (Freedom,gamecih etc don't work either
specs/info that might help you:
Bootloader: unlocked
OS: lineageOS
Is your lineageOS official: no, it's unofficial
Android version: 8.1
Recovery: TWRP
Any access to Odin: yes but computer is my mom's and I'm not really allowed to use it so i would say no. Access is 1-10 but works every
Access to adb: unknown, I have adb on my mom's computer but I have no idea how to use it...
Where I grabbed my lineageOS version: https://goo.gl/cKH1dP
Don't worry, the link is shortened and will redirect you to a XDA thread with lineageOS for Samsung Galaxy A5 2016
Faster download for lineageOS if you need to look into the files (Google drive): https://goo.gl/aHxG95
My gapps os: 8.1
My gapps type: super
If you need any more information, please let me know. I know quite much technical language, so I would say I'm over average. Thanks in advance

Good morning good people of xda.
I have Xiaomi mi6 MIUI version 11.0.3 Stable android version 9PKQ1
So I wanted to install Google Pay and it showed me that it's not for my phone or something along those lines.
My question is if there is any way to install and use the Google Pay application on this phone.
Preferably without having to install custom rom or anything of that sort because I kind of bricked my last phone doing that.
(kind of = I did exactly that, rip my sweet Nexus 5x you will be forever missed)
I appreciate the help, and if you are still reading this I wish you a good day and best of luck in your journey through life.
also: I tried searching on the main page for this problem but only phones pop up and was unable to find the right thread for my problem, so sorry if its already answered.
There might be a solution if you're willing to give the xiaomi.eu ROM a shot, which based on the MIUI Chinese Beta, just without Ads. I used to have this ROM installed for my MI 6, which enabled GPay to run flawlessly. Note that it's a third party ROM by a team in Poland, not by Xiaomi itself. So if you're in, TWRP is required. The only problem for xiaomi.eu ROM on MI 6 is that, the phone is neither encrypted by default nor to be encrypted through system settings. I think there's already solutions in XDA forum to fix that, by changing system build.
Due to the fact I'm a freshman in the XDA forum, I'm not allowed to post any outside links. Be sure to Google search xiaomi.eu yourself.
Wish that helps.
Background Info -
I purchased my 16GB x 512GB Mi MIX Fold from a reputable supplier on Alibaba. It was claimed that he was capable of making it have a "Global" ROM (a 5 - 7 day process is how long it took him). All Google services and apps were preloaded, just like my first Xiaomi Global phone I purchased 1.5 years ago. As well as only some of the Xiaomi Global apps. Now that I have the phone, I am running into a fair bit of issues (in this post I am only focusing on one). I did bring these all up to the supplier (of course including updating the ROM issues), all without much help. All he gave me was he said the ROM on my phone is actually the EEA version that was modified, and of I need any updates, go on www.xiaomi.eu. So not much help, because come to find out, they don't support the Mi MIX Fold and that there is no ROMs available. Including the current ROM my phone has right now - V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global").
What is nice about my phone is that all the system apps are the Global versions. But what's not so great is the System Apps Updater does not work at all. It shows there are update(s) available for my Global apps, but when I update them, they are indefinitely suck at "Connecting 0%". I also tried Xiaomi's "Get Apps" while switching my Region to "India", it too showed updates, and would not update them no matter what I tried. So, I search online for each individual system app, and update each manually (yes, the whole process is a pain).
So Where I Need Some Help (The Purpose Of This Post...Updating the ROM) -
So, I am in the process of trying to update my phone's ROM, to get the best MIUI has to offer for the Mi MIX Fold. I have searched all over the internet and the only ROMs I can find are "China" versions.
My current ROM version is V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global"). I know the most up to date ROM is V12.0.21.0.RJTCNXM (but it's the "China" version). I would like to have the current ROM, but I have a strong feeling that I will loose all functionality of all my Global system apps. The Xiaomi Updater app unfortunately does not work at all. When checking for an update, it says "No updates available". When tapping "Download latest package", it says "Can't download update...Wait a minute or two and try again". When I tap "What's new", it says "You don't have permission to access the update log...". Please see screenshots for all of this. I even tried to update it another traditional Xiaomi way by using Mi PC Suite, which it couldn't even detect my phone when connected. So that doesn't work either.
So my attempts are as follows (at least 20 attempts). I downloaded every Stable Recovery ROM version as listed in the XDA Mi MIX forum titles "MIUI Updates Tracker (Mi MIX Fold)" I also downloaded every ROM version from a couple other sources. I tried to update the ROM (from the newest version to the oldest) using the Xiaomi Updater app through Recovery Mode. Every time it failed saying "Current version is invalid. You can only flash the latest stable ROM", or "Can't verify update...Can't install official ROM". So then I downloaded the ROMs directly from mirror links to Xiaomi's server. I did the same update procedure, they all failed. Does that mean I have to do it via Fastboot?
Last Thoughts -
I included some screenshots showing what the ROM is on my phone (and the outdated Android security update), and what message comes up with each update attempt.
Could you guys point me in the right direction and help me figure out how I can update my Mi MIX Fold to the most current ROM, preferably the EEA version (if possible), since there really is no such thing as a Global version? I would be extremely appreciative if someone can shed some light!
Hi my suggestions is to backup your data firstly from there download the latest fastboot stable of the rom. From there before anything make sure oem unlocked is there inside your phone if not you need to wait 167 hours to fastboot flash the rom. Guides of unlocking is online you can search for that. After that, download the miflash.exe file, that can also be found online and from there flash it with it to the latest Rom . Hope that helps. If you are still unsure , you can always search online of "Flashing with fastboot xiaomi Rom"

Thank you very much for your response!
OK, so it looks like I will have no choice but to get rid of the custom "Global" ROM for the China version. I do wonder though if I am going to lose out on anything as far as the Global system apps (but won't update, unless manually), or all the Google apps & services, or anything else. There of course are many benefits switching to the China ROM.
I'm just a little reluctant because of it being a China ROM being used on a phone in the US. And having features that only work in China and is not optimized for the Global market. As well as features usually found on a Global Xiaomi phone, would be missing or can't work at all. Maybe I am overthinking it all. Another concern is if the China ROM would have English as a language that can be choses. I assume so, but it would be a plus to know 100% before I make the plunge.
Only if I could play around with a Mi MIX Fold with a fresh install of the China ROM. See how different it really is compared to what I currently have. See what it comes with (apps & all) & what is or isn't compatible. My previous, & only Xiaomi phone, was the Global version of the Mi Note 10 Pro. So I have, I guess you can call it, a Xiaomi Global mindset. My Mi MIX Fold is my daily driver, I can't play too much around. Also if I do flash it with China ROM, I can't revert it back to the ROM it has now, since it seems to be custom. Unless I can somehow backup absolute everything, ROM and all.
I know this is a simple question, but what and how is the very best method to back everything up? To not only make sure no data is lost, but also to make the whole process faster when restoring everything.
Do you have any other suggestions or advice? I would appreciate it!
The custom global rom is not official and you will never get update.
I recommend you to mi flash the chines rom, but you will lose everything.
Google will be available the chines ROM.
