Does Redmi note 8 pro allow to add custom name under the contacts?
In my previous Xiaomi phone (and every other phone) there is an option of custom where one can save multiple contact number under customized name. However I cannot see such option in redmi note 8 pro. There are only system created headings for multiple contact number. There is no option of Custom in the contact edit menu.
Please help!

Yes. Everything is the same like on every other Xiaomi phone
Here are some codes, tricks and tips to enter hidden (or not so visible) menus or functions. Gathered from the net. Discovering them was not my merit, I just centralize them, with help of my friend asotmike.
1. Press repeatedly on Android version (Settings, About phone) to see the hidden surprise
2. Press repeatedly on kernel version (Settings, About phone, All specs ) to enter CIT menu
3. Press repeatedly on Internal storage (Settings, About phone, All specs) to enter Phone Info menu
4. Press repeatedly on MIUI logo (Settings, About phone) to activate and see more update settings (in the 3 dot menu, up, right)
5. Activate VOLTE and VOWIFI menus, they will apear in Settings, SIM cards & mobile network, under sim card settings . Dial *#*#86583#*#* for VOLTE and *#*#869434#*#* for VOWIFI
6. When lantern activated and phone display is off, no need to unlock to close lantern. JUst press power button.
Tested under MIUI11, global (european) variant.
Please feel free to add new codes.
I don't know what does every single submenu of submenu of submenu. Test them at your own risk and curiosity and share with us.

There is.
Either use a Magisk module available on the telegram group called default miui apps or drastically flash Indonesian global Rom which has those by default. You can have further details / discussion in the thread called Call Recorder.
Hope this helps.

If you are referring to volte and vowifi you can use the following solution.

Hi all,
maybe this thread will be not useful for many people, but if someone ask for changing font he can see here.
Procedure for Android 9 and ColorOS is the same for other Oppo and Realme devices.
1) Install zFont apk from Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgngoe.zfont or download from internet.
2) In settings > language & region > myanmar.
3) If clock is wrong for you nation (for sure) change it in manual and choose yours.
4) Open zFont app and click on a font you like, many of them are preloaded, or choose your personal ttf file from local storage. Then you have to apply it, choose option 4 "Oppo & Realme".
5) In settings > display > support dai character (activate it).
6) Done.
If you want you can delete zfont, because it create an apk you can find installed in apps.
If you want to revert back simply change region, or deactivate "support dai.." (step 5), or uninstall apk font created by zFont; or all of above.
For Android 10 and Realme UI:
1) Install zFont apk from Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgngoe.zfont or download from internet.
2) Open zFont app and click on a font you like, many of them are preloaded, or choose your personal ttf file from local storage. Then you have to apply it with "set", choose "Oppo & Realme" Option, then "Support Dai Character Mode", you will see Region "Myanmar" and "dai characters" option enabled. Give ok and you have done.
Hope you appreciate. :fingers-crossed:
Can you tell me the reason because it's possible changing font only with myiamar? Just curious to know why realme didn't implemented font change for each country.

I don't know, but, like Xiaomi has done, maybe because of policies in each country and it is a new brand, in fact after several years Xiaomi will implement that option in Italy (my country) and some other regions too.
Maybe, instead, it is an exploit that uses that specific region.
Excuse my bad english, hope i have been quite clear
I updated to android 10, and I can't find the " In settings > display > support dai character (activate it). ". any idea?

It still works on my phone without restoring it.
You could try to select ZG instead of unicode in region & language

If you download new zFont app you have to choose a font for first, then "Oppo & Realme" option > Support Dai Character Mode, then choose Region Myanmar from the app and dai characters enabled. You have done. All from app. See online, there is a youtube video of 13th of April.
Updated first post.
On android 10, not choose ..dai character. I have root the phone, and i changed the font, to roboto bold.

Just install Google Play Store apk on your phone. Get it from Apk Mirrow, what you more need is already installed in chinese rom.
Set up a Goole account and then you can download and install the google apk you want to have.
About keyboard, install G-board from Play.
You can also install an EU-rom on a Chinese RM5G (unlock bootloader a s o), you find guides in XDA RM5G where you are now.

Have you enabled chinese as second system language?

Thanks I tried that and then i go back to AOSP setting and choose Language -> I did not see chinese or mandarin or any chinese related.
It shows list from start to end English - US ->> Uzbek, Vietnamese, Zulu end of list.
It does'nt have chinese though, maybe I need to install from playstore.
System -> Languages & Input -> Languages -> + Add a language (chinese will be at the bottom of the list)
I have a problems where I am able to choose Chinese as a language but am not able to activate Chinese as an input method. Same with Korean.
Should probably add... I use lineage with opengapps (pico) and the aosp keyboard.
The keyboard settings say use system languages but show only English and German although Chinese is configured as a system language.
I have the exact same problem with lineageos adroid keyboard.
Chinese language is available as system language for display purposes, but no input is available.
Ditto. Android 10 / LOS 17.1, zero Google apps, Chinese (简体中文) is enabled as a system language, and there seems to be no provision for actually entering Chinese. And the Google Pinyin Input app (which is what I have used in the past on CyanogenMod and LineageOS) seems to not work at all on this device (Sony Xperia Z3). The latest version of Google Pinyin installs and then dies silently, older versions will not even install. Ummmmm, that makes LOS unusable for something like 1/5 of the world's population. ;-) Maybe more, if this holds true for other Asian languages.
I'm also experiencing this, is this not fixed yet? Hard to believe

I'm sure mokee rom has fixed it. Maybe they have something that can be ported to lineageOS?
Is there a bug report?

Now July 2022, I have same situation with 18.1 recently updated (July 2022) on Samsung HLTE. I do not have any Google product installed, including Play Store.
I have (and have activated ) the Chinese simple option in the languages, but am unable to change it in the key pad.
It seems as though most Asian languages except Vietnamese are missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: July 10th
Really would like some feedback on this please?
Is it something I am or not doing?
Is this an issue with this ROM/
Is it simply not possible?
I see it is showing com.android.imput.latin in the keypad setting.
I cannot find any way to switch to Cn.
Is there an update via Lineageo/s I can add to achive this please?
Don't hesitate to ask me if there is info missing.
Without the ability to use Cn language in keyboard this has very limited functionality for me.
I see it is a feature of a stock Samsung C8 device.
Cheers

Quite correct, but like me, the poster wants to add it to the keypad.
Ie, convert the keypad to be able to use Chinese language.
I know this is a 2 year old psot, but just curious if yu have achieved this?
FYI: I am unable to find any option to add a language in keypad setting and no Asian languages are preset. (excluding Vietnamese)
Cheers

Hello, did you ever find a way to fix this?
Just install GKeyboard from Google play and set it as default input
Hello @ar_156, thanks for taking the time to write.
I am Guessing in GKeyboard the G stands for Google.
So it might likely work, as it does in my Galaxy C8 stock Chinese for which there is no known mod.
But I do not run any Google products including Pay Store.
That sort of defeats the entire purpose of running a Mod Lineage ROM, I may as well just run the stock Google Android.
Hopefully an update soon will restore the Lineage usefulness for me.
Cheers

Oh apparently 'tis Oktoberfest happy whatever one does~!

Thanks again for your idea.
I located the APK , downloaded but it reports back : "APP not installed."
I tried it multiple times from multiple sources - no joy.
Do you or does anyone have any idea why it keeps failing please?
In a similar vein, I thought that an earlier version of Lineage OS ( I'm running 18.1 now) came with a note taking APP?
Is there one for the current version please?
Thx
Gboard - the Google Keyboard
or use TouchPal Keyboard, it wil let you install Chinese Traditional or Simplified input.
GBoard requieres some Google elements, maybe your chinese device does not allow it, your best bet is TouchPal Keyboard, I am using it, too.

Hiya @ar_156 thanks very much for that .
Issue is very likely device related, but haha, you maybe read too much CNN!
Nothing to do with location, I suspect G/board will fail anywhere.
Since posting I had a flashback to another APP that gave the same error message. Turned out it was a 64 bit APP - Note 3 is only 32~
Once I found a 32 bit APP it installed no issues. Sadly, G/board seems not to have a 32 bit option.
I have a newer 64 bit Galaxy C8 but can't find a custom ROM for that so for now I am stuck with the Note 3 and 32 bits~
I'll giveTouchpal a try many thanks.
Saturday Sept 24th.
Hello again @ar_156 , a quick follow up. f
I found the ads on Touchpal a bit distracting.
However, your tip re Gboard IS the answer for anyone who is having the same issue .
BUT - it must be the ARM (32 bit ) version, available ex Softpedia.
Probably others as well.
However, one MUST search for the arm version, there are at least 3.
The default download is 64 bit and will fail every time.
I now have Gboard up, seems to run OK. So thank you , hope this follow up helps someone, somewhere, sometime.
Cheers
