XiaomiKey seems to have dropped off, they are not taking orders anymore for UBL and the server has been offline for months unfortunately.

I'm not sure what you are saying here, I suspect Houji in the list is the global phone so yes, the global phone will have everything working.

Been a while since I used custom roms, but you still can't flash fastboot without a second device right? TWRP allows you to flash it one the go so to say.

I guess people like their OTA?

I think you need it for ota updates.

I personally like HyperOS. For me, on the stock CN rom, it's rock solid, never had a more stable android OS to my recollection. I like that it doesn't give full permissions to every app by default and you need to do some work setting it up. I see the green dot so seldom I do like it as it's...

You can navigate to the location and it's empty. I still have locked bootloader on my CN X14 and I had to manually install the android auto app but it just connects and returns "unsupported device" on the headunit and on the phone it's the red screen saying not supported android. If you restored...

Instructions says to connect it to a PC in fastboot mode, give him ultraviewer credentials and he will unlock it in 1-3 days. So you can't just go about your day as normal just get it done in 30 min when you have time.

No, it seems CN version of xioami 14 has some code that instantly flags it for server side review meaning it's hard to bypass as you don't know what answer it's looking for.

Caution is always healthy. I am more hesitant because of the time it takes. If I could pay and 2h later it was unlocked fine, but 1-3 days. That is a long time to be without a phone for me at least.

I am not sure how their unlock method works on a core level, but I suspect it's the same as most other and you will have to factory reset the phone after it has been unlocked. While theoretically possible to install something in the low level firmware, I suspect if you have such skills you are...

Android Auto requires a stub in the system folder now. Only way to get it on CN rom is to gain root and add the stub. I suspect an rights elevation exploit might be the only way but I guess updates might break that so remember to disable updates after adding the stub.

Yeah, you have to set wallpaper after disabling optimization. The keyboard will return to chinese each reboot. I found no way around it. Though I don't reboot my phone more than once a month or when there is an update. Battery life is unfortunately very personal as it might depend a lot on...

This is for the global version of the Xiaomi 14 series of phones. you need to use the Mi Community app for Chinese phones and without a chinese ID, or bank account it will be hard.

My gmail app is instant. make sure to give it all the permissions.
