I'm considering changing ROM to Chinese and want to know if someone from the "West" uses it regularly?
I don't think so, at least not without modifications to the original chinese rom. Not only the rom is chinese, you can't change region settings. And some apps refuse to run on chinese locale.
I'm using xiaomi.eu rom. It's based on the chinese version of miui but made for europeans.
You need to add Google Play Services and the chinese rom is only in Chinese and English.
I do, because I like the virtual SIM option. I also sideload Google Play Services and remove some bloatware. Works like a charm!
As Chinese, I don't recommend you to switch to chinese rom, There maybe many functions only used in China, your apps maybe innormal to work.

I haven't used Google Pay because in my country it's no use.
However, I have played around with it before and I got it to run. Did you pass both safetynet checks? If you do you should be able to make it work.

Honestly, I have been using it for over 6 months with minimal problems. I am also rooted, which allows me to remove bloatware or other functions that I really don't need.
The only problem I have encountered is the OneFootball app, when it updates throught the Mi Market it crashes on launch. But this can be fixed by disableing auto updates and just updating it through the google play store.
Battery life is also SO MUCH better on the Chinese Stable / Developer ROMs, but I still can't figure out why exactly, I suppose it has something to do with Google Play Services.

i've tried 14, 15, 16, google pay never works. I guess the main issue is from gapp.. but no idea how to find right gapp to use...
The way I installed is through a restore of a backup from Allbackup, the standard MIUI function. If you want I can upload it.
Ok just got my new Moto z2 force, and it has the Sep 2017 security update.. Now all I want to do is root and debloat my phone (Ssprint). Should I update to the latest before unlocking the booloader, or just go a head.. Thanks

I would go ahead with the update and then unlock the bootloader and install TWRP + Root.

Sure, but I see some problems by using of custom roms on my other phone (Z Play), so I prefer to get official updates without unlocking the bootloader for my newer Z2 Force. Second reason is the guarantee for manufacturer issues. And I need the Z2 Force for watching videos like netflix and co, so safety net needed. SD 835 can content play in HD from netflix, so important thing. On Z Play I can see the pixels (just Full HD), but on Z2 Force it's perfect. Much better, you can't see pixels anymore. That's perfect to play movies. Many people try to explain that we can't see the difference, but I see it. VR an Co is all better now. And I hope that we get 3 years Security Updates. It's an expensive business phone for 800€, so we should get updates for long time.

I am rooted with Magisk V16.0 on the stock ROM right now and I have never had an issue with passing SafetyNet. Passes every time. All my apps work too including Netflix. No issues with the Play Store not allowing me to download apps by saying the app is not compatible with my device.

I have no issues as well with downloading any apps from Play Store.. Only quesiton, when installing a new kernel. Is it like on other phones, wipe cache before flashing the kernel? I don't want to screw up a FREE PHONE from Sprint. LOL

You can book YouTube Premium(europe). Then you get support for background playback. That's new, calls YouTube Red, too. Maybe that helps.
Edit: VivisClone, you was faster with your answer, just few seconds. But yes, that's the way.

You can use the YouTube Vanced edition that is available as an apk or get it from Magisk. It allows background playback and ad blocking plus some other settings that the stock YouTube app doesn't have like forced Codecs and Max resolution override as well as a few themed editions. It's the only version of YouTube I will use. There is even a version available for non-rooted devices that still gives the same options.

I just use telegram pop out and I get background and screen off play without root.
I can't get my phone to update. Every time I try, it says "Software update unsuccessful" and under that says "Sorry, there was a problem updating your Moto Z2. No changes were made."
I keep getting the popup on unlock to update, but have to go to "remind me later" every time since it wont successfully update. I'm trying to update security update 1 May-2018. And software version OCXS27.109-48-6

Hey I have a question that really bothers me that I cannot use Google pay on my rooted poco f3 with stock Redmi K40 MIUI ROM.
I already hide all my google apps with Magisk hide and tried multiple times.
I also read something about changing my device fingerprint using `props` command in terminal but I failed to find Redmi K40 or Poco F3 on the list.
Is there anyone who can help me ? Thank you ^^
You can try the package "MagiskHide Props Config" from the built-in Magisk repos.
There is a lot which can be configured with that package, but there should be no need.
The documentation is (thankfully, for an Android project) quite extensive.
I already installed it and I don't actually know what to do other than change the device fingerprint from there, which I can't find poco f3 in the certified device list.
So my question is actually: Is there a device fingerprint of POCO F3 that I can directly replace on my ROM and use?
I'm not an expert for this topic, but are you sure all the Google Play apps (Play Store, Play Framework etc) are working correctly?
The only time I had a similar sounding issue was when I played around with microG and Nandroid.
I might look more deeply into it if i find the time.
What rom are you using? Im on rooted miui .eu 12.5.2 and all works as normal.

how did you root your china rom?
flash gpay sqlite fix
Have you checked both options for hiding Google pay? Also, have you hidden the magisk app itself by renaming it in the magisk settings?
Once you done those things, if they weren't done before, you may need to clear cache/data from Gpay in order for the app start a 'fresh' and not be 'aware' of root - but that's just a guess... i don't use Gpay, but i've just tried it on ArrowOS with root, all i did was hide magisk app itself and hide Google pay from root as per image

Hey guys, has anyone gotten Gpay to work on lineage 19.1? I have done the following and have had very odd results. Firstly, I am passing safteynet and my device is registered as play certified in Google play store. I'm seeing where sometimes gpay won't open at all and when it does it says it is unable to load my payment methods.
Specs:
OS - linageOS 19.1 (latest build as of this post)
GAPPS - Mindthegapps (latest build as of this post)
Steps taken:
Installed magisk, enabled zygisk and rebooted
Installed magisk hide props module then rebooted
Installed shamiko module then rebooted
Installed universal safteynet fix (zygisk) then rebooted
Configured denylist in magisk checking GPS (all), and Gpay (all) rebooted
Changed device fingerprint with magisk hide props module to a certified one then rebooted
Additional steps taken:
I cleared data from GPS, play store and Gpay and rebooted
I tried a different device fingerprint and rebooted (clearing data like above afterwards and rebooting again)
I have done a complete fresh install of my OS and tried again from scratch.
I also tried seeing is renaming magisk would help at all, it didn't
It appears I'm getting nowhere with this. If anyone has gotten it to work and has some insight it's be greatly appreciated!
Nevermind, looks like it was an issue from having the pixelify module installed as well. After I removed it it started working just fine.

Hey deathblade!
Thanks for helping me out on the other thread.
Just wanted to check in, did you use the official build or the unofficial one with the Pixel Goodies? I'm intending/hoping to have full functionalities of Google Pay using the unofficial build, but from your post it seems that I can't have the Pixel experience if I want the ROM to work with Google Pay?

I'm using the official build. I think the unofficial has everything needed to use Gpay and have some pixel things baked in. So might be worth a look in your case

Not that I've found, however I did notice if you install the pixelify module then uninstall it, it does seem to leave some stuff behind. Like I still have the option to use Hold for me and direct my call. So it might work out where you can install it to get the things you want then remove it to get Gpay working

Ok so here is the breakdown:
Zygisk is not a module, but an implementation method used by modules. Magiskhide props is used to change the device fingerprint to a valid one that registers as protected by google play. Shamiko is for hiding root from Google play services, and Gpay (and whatever other apps may need it). Universal safteynet fix is used to help pass google safteynet checks (security). Not listed is the pixelify module used to add pixel exclusive features but of course with it install it cause havoc on Gpay and other apps so once installed it should be uninstalled.
TLDR
Yes all of them
