It's already lightHow is the EU rom compared to the stock global? Is it debloated? Or You have to debloat it yourself?
Native call recorder for one.Hello
I understand that the eu rom has the mi dialer, mi contact and mi messages whereas the global rom has the Google dialer, google contact, and google message. What are the advantages of these mi apps compared to the google apps ?

What's not in the dialler or SMS? Not sure I understand. The global version uses Google's dialler and SMS where the Xiaomi EU ROMs, uses Xiaomi own version. To be honest after using the global version, I prefer the Xiaomi one.
I'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock then I'm flashing for the first time from global 12.0.1.0.
As moving from stock rom for the first time,to avoid any issue,what are the step by step procedures once I inject TWRP?
TWRP
6. On TWRP, Change the language of TWRP to English, by clicking the right button on TWRP and select English.. then OK.
7. Enter the device (phone) password and press Enter for TWRP to have access to the file.
They're is no password on it anymore iircThanks buddy
Actually wipe what? There are 3 options: Manual, format, factory reset (through swipe). On my old one plus 3 I was usually swiping manually data\system\cache\dalvik or swiping for factory reset. Keeping the internal storage intact as I needed for flashing the rom. I don't think internal storage has never been an issue,so I don't think I need to wipe it.
Don't you have root on your phone? Magisk should be essential, shouldn't it? Is Xiaomi.EU rooted by default?
I also found this guide,What do you think?
Also what is the latest Xiaomi EU rom? Where can I find it?
What is this password the guide is talking about?
Thanks, good to know
Yes, the .EU ROM fixes all those dozens of tiny little quality of life issues you have with the China ROM.I have the CN version currently as it arrived this week finally and I'm torn between unlocking the BL and flashing eu rom or just sell it and grab global. I currently use AT&T sim in tray 2 and like you said I have full signal including 5G in most places and I'm sitting on Band 2 in NJ. I also tried my VZW sim as I saw a previous member mention it and sure enough it also worked once I disabled carrier Volte check and I was sitting on Band 4 as well at my house.
The only thing that keeps me wondering if it would be better is that the global version has a true 5G n5 band under AT&T and even VZW which most likely isn't even available for all i know in my area, but for an extra $500 is it even worth it I keep telling myself lol.
I believe you are on the eu ROM correct? If so how do you like it compared to the CN rom? Do you get all notification icons on the AOD which is driving me crazy on the CN rom that most don't pop up.
All banking apps, and Google Pay NFC payments work with unlocked bootloader on .EU ROM no Magisk needed.I guess it all depends if you don't need a locked bootloader. Some people need their bootloader to be locked for some professional apps (Or a few banking apps, etc...). Most of the time Magisk manages to hide your unlocked bootloader but not always. So you have a risk for this in this very particular case.
If you don't need your bootloader to be locked, then go for the EU ROM. As explained by others you get more features and updates much earlier than the global rom gets.
