Emir BardakçıXiaomi’s proprietary Phone and Messaging applications are exclusively hardcoded into firmware distributions for Taiwan, India, and China. Conversely, Global and EEA (European) ROM variants mandate the integration of Google’s communication suite to comply with regional GMS (Google Mobile Services) certification standards.
| Firmware Region | Communication Suite | GMS Support | NFC Functionality | Multi-Language |
| Taiwan (TW) | Xiaomi Native | Yes | Active | Yes |
| India (IN) | Xiaomi Native | Yes | Disabled | Yes |
| China (CN) | Xiaomi Native | Basic | Active | No |
| Global / EEA / Others | Google Suite | Yes | Active | Yes |
Technical Analysis
The divergence in application availability is determined by the ro.miui.region build property within Xiaomi HyperOS.
- Taiwan ROM Efficiency: This variant represents the optimal configuration for international users requiring Xiaomi’s native dialer (featuring call recording) without sacrificing Google Mobile Services or NFC payment protocols.
- Hardware-Software Mismatches: Flashing the India ROM on Global hardware triggers a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) conflict, permanently disabling NFC modules due to driver incompatibilities in the Indian firmware build.
- China ROM Limitations: While technically robust, the lack of native GMS core libraries renders this firmware unsuitable for markets reliant on the Google ecosystem, despite full NFC support.

I need help, I have a Xiaomi 12 Global and updated to HyperOS but there are no noticeable changes. However, my daughter has another version of Xiaomi 12 and the changes are noticeable in many aspects and I love it. I repeat, nothing changed at all and I don’t understand why nothing has changed, it still seems like it has MIUI. I await your responses, please and thank you.
😎👍👍👍
Indonesian ROM is also a good choice, I’ve switched to it from Eu ROM, and it’s run smoothly.
It contain Mi Dialer and messaging apps, also Mi Calendar
Peace be upon you. I don’t know why Xiaomi company has no decision or will in designing and making its devices. Xiaomi’s authenticity and the messaging app should be available in all global and non-global versions, leaving the choice to the user because 90% of users do not want to use Google calls and messages. Why is there no decision from the manufacturing company Xiaomi? I consider it colonized or occupied by Google. The manufacturing company should have the first and last say regarding its products.
I use the stable Taiwan ROM and like it very much. Stable and very good.
I have the impression that there is a bug, because for as long as I can remember, these apps have not worked on Global India. On the other hand, in the Global of Indonesia and Taiwan, yes. Has anything changed?
