There’s a certain “people’s republic” where they introduced a new government signature on all android apps. For “safety”, as they “check” the apps for you 😉

more of this ICP scam

For now it can be bypassed after three pages of scary warnings but in the future?

Maybe it could be a big reason of why they’re liking harmony os that much, you don’t need to manually approve android apps if android apps are completely unsupported

    Since when do they have those rules? A year ago I unlocked my Xiaomi phone. Outside China. Did not have a Chinese phone number. It took less than an hour.

      But it’s global version or China version?

      China version ROM is like this since the mi 6, the excuse was “limiting grey market sales”

      Also the ROM now uses a different signature so from mi 5 onwards, flashing global ROM on china version, doesn’t allow to lock the bootloader again (you can send the command to lock it, but then you get a softbrick)
