Guide: MIUI Stock Dialer And SMS app for Global RN8/ RN8 pro

[pedrito1995]

Lol yess...you won't find a 8t rom for Indonesia or India as redmi note 8t was only released in Europe,Russia and Globally which I guess is USA,UK etc....redmi note 8t is not released in India and Indonesia...so there's no rom for 8t India or 8t Indonesia

ohhh, really?? that is so sad , so no 8T ROM for India or Indonesia, then there is nothing I can't do about it :crying::crying::crying:

Thanks so much for the help provided, cheers!!

You can try xiaomi.eu rom

If you're unlocked and on custom recovery (TWRP) and custom rom, I'm assuming you have to go back to stock recovery before doing this? Do I have to go back to a stock rom also?

Edit: maybe not, just found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/how-to/guide-flashing-miui-ota-rom-recovery-t4041591

Any reason to choose between the Indian or Indonesian versions? I'm in the US.

Indian/Indonesian version roms have miui contacts and dialer(hence you can have the option for call recording) and miui messaging apps

So I should be good with either one?

I did this and worked awesome....
1... Be sure you're unlocked
2._usb debug
3._ be sure you're in global....
3.5._ this is if you're not in global ...
Download global .. be sure is fastboot download...flash it with mi flash after you decompress it
4._ now you're in global ...flash recovery twrp
5._ now your in recovery reboot in to your system and download Indonesia version
6._ flash Indonesia version top of global ...do not format it...be sure your making a dirty flash then just wait to reboot ...and wallaaaa you'll have Indonesia version with global language ....and store ...and stock messenger dialer contacts and all good...

You can just flash the Note 8 ROM for India/Indo, just that you will not get the NFC support.

Yes, you can, it's not allowed only with devices that were cross-flashed from Chinese-to-all-the-others and from all-the-others-to-Chinese.

Take in account that if you will relock it at same time that you are flashing the ROM through MiFlash tool or fastboot then you can relock it no matter what "custom" anything you have onto your device cause in the flashing process all the Android parts will be replaced.

But if you already flashed the ROM and you want to relock it now through fastboot commands then better get rid of wherever "custom" that is onto your device by i.e. TWRP, Magisk, etc. or you could brick it.

Which one is better. Indian ROM or Indonesian ROM ?

 

[tukhor]

hello, i have another question.
Is there any dialer apps that have seamless call recording feature or roms that have in-built call recording in their dialer?

 

[Crescendo Xenomorph]

Why don't just extract the app manually and install it into the global rom? Has anyone tried?

I managed to copy it all (Dialer, Mms, IncallUI) to priv-app (which is necessary for them to work)...
Messaging is OK, however the Dialer will be messed up.
It'll be unable to bring up the IncallUI, so there'll be no sound - no call UI - nothing except Contacts, dialpad, and call log.

Guys, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to change regions. Use xiaomitool v2 and pick another region from there. I changed my Poco X3 NFC from TR to MI and it's fine.

note: Chinese variant is a different story. You need to unlock and stay that way for it to work.
