I'm looking to buy the new Redmi AirDots 3 Pro bluetooth earbuds.
Currently they are only available in China, but will likely be released Globally as Poco Pop Buds/Redmi Buds 3 Pro.
My questions:
Does matter which version of the earbuds buy (Chinese version or Global version)?
Anyone have experience buying Xiaomi Chinese version bluetooth earbuds and getting it to work in Xiaomi.EU or Global rom?
Hi!
Yes, it matters.
First of all, both the global and Chinese versions are the same product and have the same audio quality.
but there are some pros of buying the Chinese version:
You'll get the product earlier since every Xiaomi product is first released in China.
And, you'll be able to use XiaoAI (MiAI) app. This app allows you to update your earphone's firmware, and also to configure the button's action (You could configure them to go to the next and previous song).
This app is only compatible with Chinese airdots, not with global versions (It's kinda weird, but that's how it works)
So, long story short, if you buy the Chinese version, you'll have a few more functionalities.
I bought Airdots 3 (Non-pro version) recently. As far as I know, the audio quality and connectivity are pretty much similar to the airdots 3 pro, but they'll have wireless charging and active noise cancellation.
Regular Airdots 3 doesn't have these two features, but they're more affordable and have better battery autonomy.
doesnt matter as much. same audio quality(audio quality is all that matters right? who cares about those ai updates)
Just waiting for some reviews, will probably wait for the Poco version.
Apparently voice prompts are in Chinese on the Redmi version.

sometimes, those apps can actually improve audio quality, connection stability, and battery consumption. There will be some improvements, so I don't think those updates aren't important at all.
But anyway, the difference in audio quality between global and chinese won't be anything impressive or incredibly high

Not necesarily, You can use either XiaoAI and Google Assistant on the Redmi Version
XiaoAI is only available in simplified mandarin
But Google Assistant is available in every language, so that isn't a problem at all. You won't even have trouble configuring anything, because the earphones will use google assistant if it is your default audio assistant. So nope, you won't have problem with chinese voice prompts

Is the app to control the AirDots 3/Pro only in Chinese text?

What about Voice Prompts as Low Battery, or Phone Numbers when an incoming call.

I have Samsung Galaxy S7, and I want to buy the new Redmi AirDots 3 Pro.
I can install the XiaoAiLite_qr App (latest version 2.10.20) from this link.
(The standard version (Mi Ai) that I downloaded from apkmirror cannot be installed on my device).
The app works (all in Chinese of course).
My question is will I be able to use the app with the Airdots 3 Pro, even though my device is not of xiaomi.

The ear buds should be working with other brand phones, but in case if the app does not work, or some issues appears, better ask how to solve issues in your phone forum.
People here can't solve your issue, unless they have Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung phones to test on or had some experience on Samsung phones.
There are 2 XiaoAi lite app translate into English, but maybe not updated, you have to test it yourself.

This project was born to translate the Xiaomi app needed to manage wireless headphones. Actually i successfully translated all i can in English, maybe there can be something i missed, in this case report me it with a screen. Actually I'm testing...

Firmware updates can be critical to audio quality.
Took Samsung over a year to fully dail the Buds/Buds+ in.
The difference is very noticeable, night and day.
Apparently it -is- rocket science

Thanks. The app works for me with the headphones, and it is also possible to do a firmware update (Xiaomi AirDots 3 Pro, Chinese version), even though the phone is Samsung.

Check if it remains in the app's cache folder.
For example for the "Xiao Ai Lite" app, it's in this folder:
Android/data/com.xiaomi.xiaoailite/cache

Hey, I've published all firmwares I have, including 1.0.3.15 for Redmi Buds 3 CN. You can find them here - https://github.com/BurgerZ/MiBudsM8

Do you have a guide on how to update manually?
To update manually you have two options:
1. Turn on alternative server in app's settings, this is my server with all that firmwares I published on Github. Than just go to the main screen and check for updates as usual
2. Fully manual - on the main screen tap several times on battery views, then scroll down, there you should find "Update from file" menu item. Just select the OTA file and flash it.
Error at the could arise, but not always this is actually error, because it compares FW versions installed and online, and if they differ error pops up, in case of manual installation version online could be the same or even smaller, so this is OK to see the error message in this case.

I really admire Noise Cancellation in this earphone http://www.mi.com/in/earphonetype-c/ for 3k INR which is so impressive. I have found only premium headphones above 7k INR with this feature. Any luck this would play in OnePlus 3?
This Reddit post users says Either mic or Buttons might not work.
This Page claims that "Xiaomi Type-C headphones would only work with integrated audio Type-C smartphones" by any chance this in OP3

No Xiaomi uses priority setups. its like using apples 3.5 jack. not all things will work
anyone who've already bought or tried this earphone with Mi A1, please share whether it is this supported with active noise cancellation on Mi A1? I know that on the product page, its mentioned that ANC is officially supported in Mi 5 & Mi Mix 2, but considering A1 as Mi 5x variant (just release as android one software rebranding) considering the same identical hardware & specs, what can I expect?

I do not agree.
I use three different Xiaomi earphones, very good value-for-money devices.
Unfortunately, ANC (JZEJ01JY) is not recognized by OP3.
Only USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO works with it ...

That doesnt mean much. I was speaking mostly about the developers that would be able to answer that type of question. Xiaomi is not popular on XDA, most developers wont touch their devices.
I have this earphone. The noise cancellation is good enough for me when I am on bus or subway. It works perfectly with my OnePlus 3.

Noise Cancellation works?? I've heard we can't take calls with this earphone on oneplus phones
so, no one here properly uses it or test this earph with Mi a1 so that could say something about compatibility?
Have it it works! Using zenity Rom! But don't like it doesn't work with Arise, viper4fx, atmos still prefer my setup with the hybrid pro and it gets better cancelation noise.
recently Xiaomi release a 3.5 mm noise cancellation earphones, maybe them are compatible

Hello dear XDA Experts
Which Xiaomi phone shall I buy (in Europe) that will be the most popular Xiaomi device for a long time (people will talk about it and buy it for a long time), have the longest support and have many and many custom roms made even after pulling it off the market and most of all custom rom Devs will love it?
Any answer is welcome to help!
BTW Do these devices met the above criteria? (Redmi Note 5 (Pro or non Pro, remember Europe), Pocophone F1, Redmi Note 6 (if it is available in Europe))

POCO SD845

The best phone is POCO by far because of the processor, but im not sure about the rom development and stuff. Whyred has alot of custom and miui based roms to play with.
If you prefer pure stock android MI A2 or lite is the phone for you.

I love MIUI but If any kind of Xiaomi phone with pure Android would have best dev support, best roms, much mor roms than I want to get that phone.
I forgot to mention that I hunt for from low to mid budget phones. POCO can be bought by me i it turns out that he wins my criterua,
I bought Redmi Note 5 Pro due to the FLASHING brochure showing 6gb ram on 275USD ! however after i bought i found following problems and I am actually 70% regreting my purchase!
1. MIUI has keyboard switch key coming in notification panel so every time if i have to switch Gboard to Swiftkey i must pull down notification panel and make the switch (where all other phones in market has that keyboard switch key on navbar (far right)
2. OVERALL very low speaker and call quality! , even after mending mixerpath file! i could not enjoy the music! it becamse only 25% louder , no matter what values I play with ..
3. the CAMERA, the secondary dual camera is more of a cosmetic effect! i didnt find any options in camera app to take 3d fotos or optical zoom etc
furthermore
4. due to my daily aggresive social media usage and typing! i had try custom roms! ( xiaomi shipping unlocked phones to middle east) so i simple flashed various custom roms ( PE, RR6.2, crdroid, lineage, Omni, ArrowOs) and in all the ROMS, whatsapp acts funny when calling or hearing audio notes! and overall volume still low! , only in ArrowOS i could find my self accepting the volume quality (android p ) , but whatsapp keep making android P reboot...
now the GENERAL TRICKY PART which btw made me think i would never buy Xiomi phone again! even Pocophone on $300 or even if it drops to $100 !
A, if your device get BRICKED in flashing custom roms, there is NO WAY to connect it in EDL mode for you to FLASH THE ORIGINAL ROM VIA miFLASHER
B, you must remove back panel! remove battery wire and short two points to make RN5p goto EDL mode! and
C, on top of that YOU MUST HAVE AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT TO FLASH otherwise it will fail....
D, if you wana save your bricked RN5P, take it to service center even for flashing and spend money! and for me, Dubai is the only place service centre of MI , so i have to send my device to UAE in order to get flashed!
so that made me think that xiaomi in 2018 is ONE TIME BUY and THROW device
the question is not WHICH MI phone should u be buying?
the bigger question is , are you aware of the complications comes with all 2018 xiaomi phones ?

1. Keyboard: many others are the same
2. No call problem so far
3. No 3D, optical zoom for cheap phone
4. You will get bricked only when you go from ARB4 to ARB3 Rom. Of course I also don't like this Xiaomi policy
The end: show me a better choice, quite good phone with very good battery life

1. keyboard: i tried 8 custom roms and everyone has AOSP navbar handler
2. whatsapp: i was talking about custom roms. i have used whatsapp on Sony on Omnirom. it never gives bugs but whatsapp on Omnirom on RN5p acts funny
3. Camera: as i said the secondary camera is more of an cosmetic affect
4. my REDMI3s got bricked when i was simply flashing MIUI7.5 via twrp. TWRP hung and the device never booted! so there is strong chance that twrp may fail to flash properly! . Irrespective of whatever made your device bricked (anti rollback policy or bad flash) the point is, I dont have control in my hands
since the OP hasn't asked anything about battery life and mainly he wanted to have device within xaiomi having many custom roms experiment with SO my answer was based on his question---however since you've asked a decent device with good battery life then for you NOKIA 8 would be the best in budgeted midrange devices! ! its almost same price range! SN845/4000mah battery/ dual cameras/ 64/4 with usb-c and LOUD speaker! Frankly i would have bought Nokia8 but the company don't officially allow unlocking BL so there arent much roms available!

1. Keyboard: if you like to switch keyboard, just choose what you like: 1 more action with Miui or AOSP/PE Rom which many available for you.
2. The way you use keyboard and whatsapp not the OP question so don't need to talk too much about it. Just your style.
3. Cam: you have option: change Miui Cam setting or using GCam which give you much better quality
4. No ARB for RedMi3s and most other Xiaomi phones so no disaster here. Any other phones can be bricked.
You wrong about dummy, stupid design, super thick bezels Nokia 8 for current phones gen. It also not S845 phone, small screen and failed product

1. to give him fair picture I honestly thought its worth mentioning since i haven't found any other modern days rom having switch keyboard panel NOT part of navbar accept in MIUI
2. its covered in 1 only.
3. gcam on miui doesn't work fully only sept2016 version ran (and didnt crash)
4 again, if by any chance the phone is bricked, i cannot press both volume and power keys to enter in EDL mode (like in Redmi3s)
you asked for good phone with nice battery , so i mentioned Nokia 8, and yes sorry about sd845, its sd835 with 6gbram and 5.3"screen with hardkeys, so u are getting full 5.3" to work with. THe bezels aren't that much they way you have metioned
by the way @androidbadboy Redmi Note5Pro on 9.6.5 doesnt have 3d touch enabled by default and you have to find a workaround!

sir, 3d touch is, on home screen when you touch (lets say facebook) app icon and keep your finger on it for few mircoseconds , it opens submenu to various famous action (new post/video/app info / etc ). its a convenient if you want to change app properties (clear data/ fix notifications/ or uninstall ) all under on finger click. other wise to achieve all such you will have to goto traditional way under settings.
3d touch gives most used action by stats of that perticular app in submenu
workaround
the only workaround is to install another launcher , funny thing is, Xiaomi's launcher found on Googleplay has 3d touch! , Pocophone f1 launcher also has it.

In Samsung S8 when I push my finger for a few seconds (with the same force BTW) I only get 2 options: remove icon or uninstall app.
Is this a properly working 3D touch?
If you had the budget I suggest you to buy Poco since the phone is a hype and many people are buying it now. I believe Poco community will be live as long as Redmi 3/3 pro, 3s/3x, note 3 forum because of that hype (it is on xda since late 2015 and still alive now). I remember back then people got hype over the phone and we knew some people still looking for it even after redmi 4a/4x.
Oh a piece of cake, for aesthetic reason you might be falling in love with MI 8 lite, it is so beautiful.

If you had the budget I suggest you to buy Poco since the phone is a hype and many people are buying it now. I believe Poco community will be live as long as Redmi 3/3 pro, 3s/3x, note 3 forum because of that hype (it is on xda since late 2015 and still alive now). I remember back then people got hype over the phone and we knew some people still looking for it even after redmi 4a/4x.
Oh a piece of cake, for aesthetic reason you might be falling in love with MI 8 lite, it is so beautiful.

Thank You for all Your help.
I gotta say You kept me thinking.
Cause If You would just see how all electronics shops make huge deliveries and still can't supply well enough for the giant demand of RN5.
I asked around in my country (Europe) and all the people say since RN5 is such a sales hit than it will have an incredible amount of custom roms and support for 3 years minimum from the Devs. They don't thing POCO will beat it in roms cause it's mainly bought by gamers. Gamers however dont flash custom roms when they have a beast that will eat every game.
Maybe in Your country the situation is somewhat different but as You can see the mania of RN5 is running wild that's why I was reluctant to hear from You that POCO will win in my 1st topics requierments.
BTW My people are poor and the difference between POCO and RN5 is 150 USD and that is very huge cash for us.
I respect Your predictions and I thank You very very very much for them.
As You can see try to fill in my shoes and don't be surprised that I am reluctant about POCO beating RN5.
Therefor please comment this reply as widely as You can when You get some peace quiet time please.

yes means that 3D touch in S8 gets me only 2 types of things (remove icon or uninstall)?
What happens if on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / pro I touch and hold an icon just like in S8 I wrote before?

I know it is a huge cash difference since I personally buy RN5 instead of Poco haha. But yeah people really looking for Poco here and they will pay another 150 USD for it.
What about RN5? After 2 weeks using it I don't face any problem. People said they got a or b or c problems, and I would confuse as I didn't get it. Since I'm a hard gamer too, it is crucial to look for performance and it is satisfying.
Both phone are good and has really active forums, it is your choice after all to buy the phone. Hope you get the best which suits your need.
Hey guys,
i got my a2 lite today and updated it to Android 9.0
After connecting it to my WH-1000XM3 Headphones, it shows only SBC?
Is this a bug from the new update?
I tried the headphones on a other model of the same smartphone with android 8.1 and they were connected with aac.
So I'm wondering, if this is caused by the new Android version?
Does somebody have the same problem?
AAC is missing. I've tried all of my aptX & AAC gear including my new ATH-M50BTx and they will not move past SBC. Really disappointing. Oreo had it.
Than we can only hope, that they fix it with the next update...
What a shame.
Is this a measure to reduce licensing cost, or just an omission?
It might be worth repeating on the official Mi forum to raise the profile?

This would quickly make me buy another phone and dump both of the A2 Lites I own. AAC is the minimum any phone of this caliber should be capable of
I reported this in the "Feedback" app, and I highly recommend others do as well.
I want a Nokia 7.1 but the tiny battery really turns me away for that price.
I also reported it in the official forum of mi.
But yes, it is a shame. That's probably the reason why I'm gonna return the phone.
But what is an alternative?
Theres a magisk module for that.
That's weird. On my A2 Lite I've got working AAC with my WH-H900N . My version of software is V10.0.2.0 (Android 9) .
And yet with Magisk module you can get even aptX.

That's indeed really weird. What version of the a2 lite do you have?
I bought mine (Global Version) over Amazon. And had the V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ Version
Or was there another update?
About the Magisk-tipp i've read some posts, that this doesn't work.
Only SBC with Anker Soundbuds Slim+
On V.10.0.3.0.PDLMIXM only SBC with Anker Soundbuds Slim+
Solved the problem with rooting my device and install the necessary libraries over Magisk.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/port-aptx-aptxhd-oreo-8-0-update-jan-t3731151
Now i can use my headphones with APTX-HD
Seems like Google is saying this is down to Xiaomi to include the right libraries - this is not good.

But in Oreo AAC was supported at least.
So just root your device and install the missing libraries.

It looks like the mi 9 SE will be released global on the 28th of March. I want to "measure" how big the xda community will be for this phone, and also just curious...
If the mi 9 SE will be released globally, will you consider buying this phone (answer in poll)?
Well it's just as easy to modify as most of Xiaomi phones so I guess soon there will be here some custom rom choices. Especially if the only other smaller size competitor is Samsung 10e, for over twice the price.
I have 9se for about three weeks so far and must admit it's a great piece of hardware, but only if you like compact devices. Otherwise I'd rather choose Redmi Note 7 (limited budget) or Mi 9 or keep waiting for Poco F2.

Yes, absolutely. I'm looking forward to purchase the 128gb varient. I LOVE compact phones, especially the ones with flagship spec i.e. Sony. But I'm definitely getting the Mi 9 SE.
Actually, its form factor seem to be the best. I would consider buying the P30 or S10e, but the price is way better on the Mi 9 SE.
Just wondering if it worth waiting for the Mi A3 lite, which would be about the same smartphone except for the snapdragon (660 and not 712) but with Android One and b28....
It depends on what is important for you. I am planning to buy too, after I have seen some reviews and possibly if I see some development activity here.
The reasons I would buy this phone are: small size, amoled screen, quite decent chipset and nfc.
I would personally not buy the galaxy s10e because of the high price and the lack of developement I have seen with their previous phones.

Ho that's interesting, can you explain why? (I guess the amoled screen won't be on the Mi A3 and that's why i'll buy the 9 SE, but still I'm curious)

I just watched a couple of reviews and forum posts so mine is not a "direct" opinion, anyway
About photos, they are very good. They are not great, as well as big brother Mi 9, probably that's due to the software: AI and drivers are still not perfectly calibrated on Sony IMX586. It looks like worst than Mi 8, even if on paper Mi9/Mi9SE should have a better sensor.
About battery, it's enough! If you use dark theme, you can reach 6 hours of display on. Recently Xiaomi released DC function for Mi 9 , maybe we will see the same for Mi 9 SE because both have AMOLED display, which can benefit of this DC function.
If battery sometime isn't enough, QC @ 18W can pump in a few minutes the energy you need to reach late night.

Photos during daylight are great, just as you wish them to be. Every lens is doing it's job well - you can get a nice close up photo with zoom, wide angle lens proved to be useful as well, bokeh is nice (but it used to be so even on Mi 6). I am a little disappointed with night mode though - before I was playing with it on Mix 3 and there the results looked like magic, here are mediocre. It looks like the algorithm is only increasing the general brightness of the photo without recognizing the difference between stuff which should be visible and that is supposed to remain dark. The effect is obviously worse than on Mi 9 (basing on the reviews).
The battery is sufficient. Mi 9 SE as a smaller size phone is not bought for gaming therefore for any other activity can be used quite long. E.g. I've got over 14 hours of continuous movie play (MX Player HW+) and 25 hours when left as a clock (Big Clock app on Google Play). When you're not using the phone the battery drain is about 1% per hour with Ambient Display on.

Xiaomi is notoriously slow with updates. Like now, it's the end of March still no March patch, some people didn't even get Feb patch yet. And the biggest f*** up that Xiaomi did is after android pie update. Wifi Mac has changed, some people got their phone bricked, wifi keeps disconnecting, battery life is super poor (4-5h sot), a lot of bugs I encounter every day, still using 3.18 kernel instead of 4.9 etc. etc.

Nah, the only reason why switched to custom for a while is because the wifi problem, everyone is facing this issue. It's disconnects won't won't connect back, and 5ghz wifi speed is very poor.

I want the mi 9 se as a replacement device. I finally want a premium (cut down) flagship phone, and hopefully will last for about 4 years or more.
Looks like I was following a false track. The release from 28th only contained mi 9 and redmi note 7.
There have been a few others sources hinting towards a global launch. For now we just have to wait.

Many AliExpress sellers are accepting pre-sales with some displaying pictures showing stock of the global version. I have placed an order with HK Goldway, I'll update when it's shipped.

It is also listed on geekbuying for buying, not only for preorder.
6/64 edition for about 330€ after using coupons seems to be quite a good deal.
Pros:
- 6" screen is still enough.
- Amoled screen and non-intrusive notch.
- Size. The device itself is tiny and lightweight.
- Hardware is below flagship, but much better than mid-range.
- Treble enabled, kernel source already released.
Cons:
- MIUI environment is not so friendly.
- dev scene (I hope I am wrong).
- OEM updates.

Miui and oem updates aren't the issue for me.
Ok, so to summerize:
- Small from factor
- Amoled screen
- Indisplay fingerprint
- 4G b20 and b28
- Widevine L1
- 6Gb RAM
A part for the CPU power, it is even more interesting for me than s10e, and for half the price.
So I definetly swap my OnePlus 6 for this device. The last question is where should we buy it to be sure we have the global version?
I saw that honorbuy.com send the right one with even european charger, but a bit expansive...
Fantacy seller on aliexpress? Anyone ever tried?
Thanks.

I would reccomend honorbuy because of european stock and no VAT on delivery (if you are based in Europe).
Devices are shipped with european socket charger.
If you buy on Aliexpress you must check any custom duty that would be added to the shipment in your country.
If I buy the chinese version of Honot Magic 4 Ultimate (Or Honor Magic 4 Pro Plus), will I be able to install Global Rom in it?
I am not sure if Bootloader unlocking/ rooting are possible on this device yet.
The better question:
Can we install play store without the hassle of magic pro 3?
The chinese version already comes with Play store, so that is not an issue.
But I want to be able to install the Global ROM on the Chinese phone, I am not sure if that is possible yet.

Are you sure? Chinese vendors are saying that it doesn't come with it.
i saw a lot of videos where on the magic 4 pro there was google installed on it. i bought the ultimate yesterday, can't wait to have it in my hands. hoping with google, but if not there are some workarounds like on the huawei p50 pro

From what I understand, the problem is this:
Honor phones that are released in China (Chinese variants) don't have GMS pre installed and it's nearly impossible to install them. Why? Because apparently those China models for some reason still use some HUAWEI code in the software!
A reviewer from China - Michael Elsegood, said the following regarding GMS installation on chinese phones:
"Most Chinese brands you are able to install but because of Honors use of Huawei’s code it still doesn’t work here in China unfortunately"
video here
Global variants are different, they come with Google services pre installed.
But what global Honor phones are there? Honor Magic 3/3 Pro? Nope. Magic 3 Pro Plus? Nope. Honor Magic 4 Pro? No, still not out yet in Europe and there's not even an official release date. As of right now, we only have the crappy mid rangers and low end phones such as Honor Magic 4 Lite and Honor 50.
I'm pretty sure the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate will be CHINA EXCLUSIVE, meaning no Google services... Sure the UNOFFICIAL WORKAROUNDS to install google MAY still work, but there's no certainty... It's a big risk to buy such an expensive phone. Just my thoughts.
And yeah, some tech reviewers uploaded hands-on videos on YouTube with the international (non-China) model of the Magic4 Pro, and that's why it had Google apps and Google Play Store visible on the home screen.
I'm by no means an expert on the matter, just sharing my observations from everything I've read.
well, it is like it is, had the p50 pro global, and used only gspace or chinese ourplay. but found a lot of alternatives that work great. my other thing is, i'm scaried that other launchers can't be installed. now i bought the phone already but i had an older honor phone with chinese firmware and i couldn't install an other launcher. that was a big bummer for me

Yes, many Chinese manufacturers make it impossible to change the stock launcher so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case.
According to Honor UK, the Magic 4 Pro and other devices are coming on May 12th. No idea about other countries. And there is no word on the Magic 4 Ultimate, so it's most likely gonna be kept for China only.

Some updates
1. OurPlay : initial installation didn't work, contacted their customer service and they were great. It's working. I can't for some reason install Chrome.
2. Gspace : doesn't work, same error message as i shared earlier, contacted their customer service, zero response.
I have been patiently waiting like everyone else for magic pro 4/ultimate to come out in the UK. I was told that they will be released for pre order tomorrow on the honor website site here in the UK. Only includes the Cyan/black colours. Also something else which kinda pissed me off was that they are only releasing a 256gb and 8GB ram version. Not even a 512gb/12gb ram version at the moment. Im trying to replace my Huawei p30Pro which has the same ram and hard disk space. Seems kinda stupid really, you think if it was a flagship they would release the high ends.
Also I did try to also speak to the guys on ebay selling the 512gb ones in hong kong, they said they cant install as global version ROM on the phone yet. i don't fancy using G space etc, had enough issues with it on my huawei tablet, in the end I sold it
tried gspace and some apps work, like tinder, dazn and gmail, all other apps don't work, but i don't necessary need them. For youtube i use vanced and it works grat. The unique app i can't get to work is netflix. Does someone has a solution?
