Chinese vs Global & Interconnectivity

So i'm using the K60 Ultra for over a 1,5 year, running the global xiaomi.eu rom from Patreon with the unlocked Bootloader.
Recently i got a new xiaomi tablet with interconnectivity and I love how it works with my wifes phone with the sceen sharing and stuff.

Now this function is not working on my current ROM, 2 reasons that could affect it:
-My bootloader being unlocked (most likely, also suggested by the creator of the ROM)
-Or because the current rom is based on the Chinese Rom, including the Interconnectivity apps are not global.
In her Stock rom phone I can also see our Xiaomi vacuum, but on my phone I don't even see that.

So I can decide to just forget about it, or perhaps decide to go back to Chinese Stock ROM....
But before I can decide I need to know:

- Would interconnectivity work between stock China ROM and my other stock Global devices? (with all locked bootloaders) *If this does not work there is no need to go further*
- If I revert back to chinese rom and install HyperOS, would my phone be permanently locked (no unlocking bootloader in the future anymore)
- Will I be able to install the google apps (play,wallet,photos etc and having it backup up with my google one etc, I read that you need bootloader unlocked to install it)
- Will payments with GPay work like usual with the official China rom. (With the global one and the EUmodule fix there is also no issues.)
- What are the other downsides of the chinese rom (i remember google assistant not working, or just not the voice activation)

I knew a lottt more when I switched roms more then I switched anything else, but currently i'm not fully informed anymore.

Goal: Working phone, Gpay, Google apps and have this Interconnectivity working.

Losing root does not matter don't use it anymore and can't care about chinese goverment stories :p
Hopefully someone can help with some clearance on it.
THANKKSS
 
Interconnectivity between devices when at least one of the has an unlocked bootloader will not work. It has been like this at least since HyperOS 1.0, maybe even sooner for some devices.
The rest of your questions are about official China ROM, so I don't know.
 
Now interconnectivity is working between, xiaomi.eu rom on nuwa and tablet 6 pro China rom.
Thanks all
 
After my first post I decided to leave it as it was.
I had my phone restored to the original ROM with Hyper OS. Losing the ability to ever get root/unlock back.
Tried to work with the Chinese ROM for a while (by the way i still was not able to get connectivity to work with my global xiaomi tablet)

After getting super frustrated that apps like whatsapp or other chat apps can't receive messages unless the app is opened.
But also other issues that I was having because of the Rom itself. All *fixes* to get it work ware useless, it seems to work for a day but then it comes back anyways. Even getting into an argument with my wife that I didn't pick up her 10 calls within an hour and all the messages, why, because no notifcation at all from this Chinese ROM. Could be a big issue when having an emergency.

Decided to buy the 14T Pro instead, it's the global version of the one that comes after the k60 version (and global one).
Very happy with it, no issues, faster, way lighter (k60 Ultra I experiences as heavy) wireless charging etc etc. So I will just use the k60 as backup or as vpn/voip/hotspot etc...

I used to get Chinese Phones all the time, installing a Global rom and worked great, But without this possibility or even with having a not fully working Global rom it's just bad. Also with the cracking down on rooted/unlocked phones in apps it's just not fun to try to have *fixes* to install whatsapp/bank apps/coinbase apps etc. Used to have root to have more options, now with root it seems to actually get less options and more problems...

So if someone reads this and is not sure to get a chinese phone and try to make it work... DON'T! :p:p Spend the extra bucks
