I don't know what the big deal is with the devs fixing this problem, it turns a simple phone copy into something of a nightmare. It would be useful to move many of the Xiaomi system apps to be user apps instead.

I think that's slightly different from the message I was getting, mine was because the partition is read only, that's the problem this workaround solves. I may be that HyperOS has something extra, my device is MIUI 14. Is there anything in the Settings about allowing apps from unofficial...

I tried to attach my zip file, but it's too large.

This is a screenshot of my resulting structure in priv-app, I used X-plore to install:

I rebuilt the Mover zip file, using the com.miui.huanji apk instead. This is what I then installed. I built it using the structure in my previous email, I just extracted the Mover fix zip, then replaced the apk with the one I wanted to install. It worked first time for me.

Do you have the Mover module installed in Magisk? I can't tell you any more than I already wrote, I documented what I did and it worked for me. I'm no longer using that phone, but I have the Mover module installed and activated on it.

This is exactly why I'm waiting on the upgrade that's available for my Mi 12 Pro. It's on MIUI 13 and will stay that way until I get it unlocked.

Yeah, I'm in a similar position. I had a Mi 11 Pro that was a Chinese-only device, but T-Mobile are steadily extending their network to LTE bands 66 & 71. The reception on the phone had never been great, but until recently it was adequate, but now I get dead-spots all over the place after a...

You can verify your device here. You just have to make sure before you buy that you're buying a global device that was originally for the global market, not a global device sold in the Chinese market, although if you read the recent threads it looks as if it's very difficult to unlock any Hyper...

Yeah, they've turned a process that was stressful anyway into a complete nightmare.

If your phone is still returnable, return it and buy a Global version that wasn't originally sold into the Chinese market. You can verify that you're buying a global device here if the seller will give you the IMEI.

I don't think this is strictly accurate. Devices with the global model number that were originally sold in the Chinese market cannot be unlocked. The only way to be sure is to ask the seller for the IMEI and check it on the Xiaomi device validator.

Update: I got it working! I downloaded the 4.5.0.1 apk from apkmirror and fitted it into the zip file as outlined above. After installing in Magisk, the new apk shows in the priv-app structure but is not installed. I installed it from my root explorer app, launched it, and it's currently...

Ok, after much f*cking around, I was able to get the newer version installed. However, it currently won't run. I used the version from my new phone (4.3), the old version is 4.1. It installs, the app info looks good and shows 4.3, but it won't execute. I'm going to try a different version of...

So, after much f*cking around, I was able to install the apk Yeah, doesn't work. I'm grateful for the heads-up though, I think I can probably get it to work this way.
