Change the rom region? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I took advantage of a trip to Shenzhen to buy a Double Sim Mate 20 Pro 128GB LYA-AL00.
Is there a way to put an European rom on it? I have a lot of bloatware, useless Chinese applications and I only get notifications from WeChat, it's annoying ... lol.
If a solution exists, it will be great!

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I read on Funky Huawei's Twitter feed that they were able to install the global ROM on a Chinese M20P but it did not rebrand the phone to a different region.
Since bootloader unlock codes seem to be available again there might be some ROM development.

Unfortunately Funkyhuawei does not respond to my tweets or emails. So, I do not know if something is possible or not. Currently the Chinese Rom is full of bloatware, I have big problems of notifications and the applications of background. If anyone has any advice to give me or a procedure to follow, I want to try because despite this smartphone is great, this ROM is very difficult for me.

In the notifications section from the settings have you enabled notifications for your apps ?

Regio change

Hi All,
My Honor 7 model number is PLK-AL10. And it is from China. There's a lot of annoying chinese program that I can't use.
I'd like to change the regio settings... and/or to an European ROM. (if it's possible)
Could anybody help me?
Thanks

Well you can remove apps and change region after rooting your phone. But otherwise, nearly all of them can be uninstalled. Any others you don't want you could move to the hide app section.
Its the Hivoice app which has no english voice support which cannot be deleted.
The Huawei app center is useful to keep Huawei apps updated, so i don't delete that.
Then the music and video app shows online Chinese content, but it might not be a problem since in international version they have no online content at all.
Hicare app is useful to send feedbacks and requests.
The theme app if you turn off phone remove sim card, and restart phone, the theme app will shows more themes that are available in China.
I have access to Huawei cloud so i use that as well, and pretty useful as the gallery and files manager is connected to the cloud.
Hi,
I have PLK-TH01H, is it also from China?
I noticed these versions:
ATH-AL00
PLK-TL00
PLK-CL00
PLK-AL10
PLK-TH01H
PLK-UL00
I would also like to remove chinese software but it sounds not so easy. We probably need to wait for a custom rom.

China vs international vs UK Rom.

There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

That’s a relief as the whole reason me for getting rid of the Chinese version and buying the global version was due to the terrible restrictions .

Question any miui 12.5/3 with playstore/multilanguage or custom rom!? help

hi i order this tablet because of low price snap 870 8 speakers 120hz. i have mi 10s with eu rom onboard with bootloader ulk and multilanguages. i already read some post that will probably not be miui eu for this device
i know miui china is easy to install play services and language ( with setedit i can set language for third party apps) but has problem with real time notifications( whats,email...) i tested all possible methods spend lots of hours the only real solution is to flash global/eu rom nothing more.
this device is usable but i ask to devs a possible Global or functional rom or custom rom for this device
please if anyonbe has a solution for this i really appreciate! thanks
don't leave this device that has good potential
Regarding the realtime notifications.
I assume you mean with screen locked?
You need to give permission to the application to allow notifications to wake the lock screen. If not you won't get the notifications at all until you unlock the pad 5 pro. They will just be sitting in the app already delivered and won't alert you.
Each app needs to be given the permission.
Also don't forget to add the applications you want notifications from to accounts and sync.
If not, you won't get notifications.

Question K50G - Chinese language appearing in main apps

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I couldn't find anything unfortunately. I was recently gifted a K50G (AMG Edition) which seems to be a nice upgrade from a Mi9T, however I've noticed despite changing the system language to English that certain bloatware apps from Xiaomi such as the main music app, browser etc are all in CHN language.
I'm aware that this is a Chinese phone rather than a global one so certain features maybe limited but I'm just wondering if there was a solution for this, or if any ROMs would be needed?

Question United States, native on device theming Options.

Ive tried almost all options and apps to customize my phone and the American version of the theme store is trash and it sucks to always translate the screen. So with a Chinese region Realme theme store in conjunction with a few apps called I mod I've only been able to really change the global font so far. Not being able to unlock my bootloader due to being T-Mobile and I pay for the phone still. However I will say the phone has been a beast of a phone with the only down side being the difficulty the us OnePlus brand doesn't get the same premium treatment as the rest of the world. So if you guys want me to tell you how to at least switch global fonts let me know and I will post a guide. Screenshots for proof below.
do let me know how plz
would be great to know how to change fonts (rooted or not rooted, either way). Thanks.
