Yes I moved from Chinese to EAA (European). No bags.
Global is one step behind with firmware version.
However going EAA have so much benefits. Go for it !
Positive:
-Android Car play (latest version is beautiful/high res)
-Stock apps is google (Message/Dialer)
-No delay with notification/lock screen all apps notification
Negative:
-Firmware is one generation behind.
-So much Google bloatware that you can't delete. (via ADB can)
-Themes app replacing original setting menu. (Example in settings>wallpaper> you will be redirected to theme app. Everything is there now)
-Google Pay (easy fix getting root)
EEA ROM Installation recommendation:
-Skip initial android setup in the beginning/offline. Get in to home screen first and than continue usual set up
Just curious why for this recommendation? ► Skip initial android setup in the beginning/offline
Also I noticed SMS OTPs not coming in the first time regardless of which provider it came from, and I have to trigger a resend to receive it. Do you know if this issue is specific to china ROM?
EU rom based on CN rom than add in the Google services. Basically it's the most function rom available. Global rom is more simple and clean, without lots of CN rom functions as usual.
Current EU roms are ok. Mine work for few days and no issues
