I would wait until you are on EU ROMs first before asking some of your questions. Like the timeline, it didnt work for me on stock + the Google apps they put on but it works fully on the EU ROMs as GMS is fully embedded. So get yourself over to EU when you can, have a play, then see if anything you need is not there.
OTAs, yes. Full OTA updates once twrp installed. It will be as you need twrp to install the ROM.With the EU.rom:
OTA'S?
UPDATES?
CAMERA QUALITY?

Thanks a lotOTAs, yes. Full OTA updates once twrp installed. It will be as you need twrp to install the ROM.
UPDATES, yes. Stable as and when released in line with stock stable releases. Weekly or Beta updates as and when released but normally based on Wednesday nightly stock beta. Both branches are are released and transformed to EU versions from stock Chinese.
CAMERA QUALITY, it's the same app, so quality should be the same as the app will follow any changes to the stock Chinese version. Xiaomi EU version ROMs do not make apps, they are just transformed stock Chinese versions, so any differences will follow on from stock. You could always use a *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* app and xml if you really want to tweak settings.
Hi, I take it that you are currently on a stock Chinese version and using stock recovery. I'm not sure of your PC abilities but I do have a guide to assist getting your first EU ROM installed with twrp.
The first thing is to get everything you need ready. As you will have to format your phone when changing ROM branches, make sure you have an off phone back up to your data and photos, music etc and of course apps, or at least have access to them anywhere off of the phone.
You will need to download the ROM of choice before you start and have it available on your PC or a OTG usb stick or drive.
On your PC, get your adb and fastboot files in a simple to access folder. In that folder place a copy of the twrp you are going use and rename it to twrp.img. this makes it simpler to handle.
Now open a CMD promt on your PC and connect your phone to the PC in fastboot mode. Now follow my guide which is available below remembering to start at the part of the guide about installing twrp and the next section on installing the ROM using twrp.
Here is the guide... https://mega.nz/file/6UAhXCxZ#Np2KwhMnl8obmOvp4b-2R9ajo0zrtz3vwefy-Ya3PLs
The best twrp is the wzsx150 version. There are 2, the original that is marked as mi10pro and the latest marked as mi10ultra. Both work but here is a link to my copy of the latest... https://mega.nz/file/TUh0mLAZ#0jYRCIeAiCJEMW1eIvWzPSWG2MuKJMG5V-wgxtWT80M
Once extracted, rename the .IMG file as above.
Once you are done and back to normal on your phone you have 2 choices to update from now on.
You can manually update by downloading the latest ROM and save it on your phone, PC or OTG USD stick or drive and just reboot to recovery from the extended power menu or from power off with per on and vol up to get to recovery. From there, install, select ROM, swipe. Once done select dalvik and cache wipe, NOT FORMAT, and reboot system when done.
To update using OTA updater app on the phone, open app check for download or press on 12 in settings, details. Once an update is found, it will download and ask you to install and as long as you have twrp, it will install fine. One note is that you need currently to use a pattern screen lock for this twrp, not pin or password, so when you first install, set a pattern.
Please ask away if you have any problems, don't struggle, no question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer.
Good luck and let me know how you do.
Well, been using weekly releases for almost 5 months, with a PIN that I never had to remove to perform updates.Still liking stable. I have no plans to upgrade to that bugheep weekly beta. Just the fact that I can't use a PIN and need to use a pattern or no password is enough reason for me to not use it.
The reason I use pattern over pin or password is that when you come to update, twrp only uses pattern to decrypt your ROM for update. If you use pin or password, you will have to go back to system and disable it. Doing so loses face and fingerprint data and that has to be set up again, which is a pain on weekly branch with the number of updates.
I prefer to use password of course and without it, I can't run the company portal as it has a requirement for secure password.
I hope a further twrp release will be able to work with all three screen lock methods.
But great to have you join us. I have come from a long line of Huawei phones and the last, P40pro+. Yes it's different but you get used to it.
As for the camera, it's the same camera app as stock. The EU devs don't make a separate app, they just un-Chinese it. You can use G cam and it's xmls, so may be you want to go down that line if you think it's that different but hopefully some of your oddities will get fixed. If you find any bugs, pop over to the bugs thread and note them down if there not already on its list.
Hopefully everything covered in the changed lines above but here is a link to the latest version of the guide, https://mega.nz/file/fIoWUD4a#q1S3wYoOltgaPcchAiXc3dHal7Sf31k5BZQBM4xy6NE@Mark F, Thank you for a detailed guide. I will be moving to EU ROM from CN ROM on my Mi 10 Ultra today (As its been a week after I apply for bootloader unlock)
Phone: Mi 10 Ultra
Moving from CN ROM (stable V12.1.1.0) to EU ROM (Latest) weekly beta MIUI 12.5 21.2.24/25
Android 11 (CN ROM) to Android 11 (weekly Beta EU)
Step 1: Download the latest TWRP (which you shared in earlier post) + Latest Weekly Beta ROM for Mi 10 Ultra (Cas) Both to PC
Step 2: Unlock Bootloader (this will do a factory reset)
Step 3: Boot to Fastboot and install TWRP using ADB command from PC
Step 4: Boot straight to TWRP Recovery
Step 5: Move the Downloaded EU ROM to Phone storage by either mounting PC from TWRP or putting new ROM on USB stick and mounting that
Step 6: Install the ROM using TWRP
Step 7: Format Data using TWRP, must be FORMAT and not just wipe on any change of ROM branch like this
Step 8: Reboot to system from TWRP, May take up to 5 or 6 minutes but as long as you see 5G and then MIUI logo, it will be fine, just wait.
Now on EU ROM.
Step 9: Set up phone with screen lock of pattern (currently as TWRP cannot decrypt ROM for updates when screen lock is set to pin or password)
Thank you for the updated guide and the corrections to the steps.Hopefully everything covered in the changed lines above but here is a link to the latest version of the guide, https://mega.nz/file/fIoWUD4a#q1S3wYoOltgaPcchAiXc3dHal7Sf31k5BZQBM4xy6NE
