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 😉
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
That’s only on their local android varieties though. That looks like a Xiaomi/Redmi phone? In that case head over to xiaomi.eu, download the EU version of the ROM, and flash it following the instructions there, it’s very straightforward.
With Oppo and OnePlus phones it’s equally simple, there are a ton of how-to’s over on forum.xda-dev.com for all models. If you stay in China, best get their Indian ROMs, the EU ones have some mobile bands inactive that are not in use there, but are in Asia.
For other phone manufacturers, it’s anywhere between trivial and impossible (Huawei for example). Xda-dev is your best source of info usually.
Where do you live that you are being governed by the Insane Clown Posse?
I need to know where this is so I can make sure I’m very far away from where this is
Augh i hate xiaomi so much.
Why have we given juggalos so much power?
Because there’s magic everywhere in this bitch
It must run on magnets.
It was always going to end this way.
Well you bought a Chinese phone. The Chinese government likes to restrict what its people see like all authoritarian governments.
Get something with stock Android or iOS. Better yet, go foss droid
At least your country is down with the clown.
Fucking phones, how do they work?
Whoop Whoop
I feel your pain. Went to have a wank last night before bed and went to pornhub and my state government wants to verify age via ID card. So pornhub just said and my ip address is blocked from visiting the lovely site. Am sad
Would mobile data work? Websites always think I’m in Colorado
Tor
Xnxx and xvideos don’t give a shit where you live friend.
So, have you bitched at your state rep about it yet?
Oh you though state bitch works for you? You got it backwards.
State Rep is corpo bitch. Better take the complain to porn hub, they would then order state bitch to fix it.
Like they’d listen. I’m in Oklahoma, liberals don’t have a voice here.
Have you tried yelling " WHOOP WHOOP" at it?
Why did you even buy a phone meant for the Chinese market in the first place?
Presumably because it’s much cheaper.
There are reasons why it’s cheaper, and none of them improve your life.
There are plent of cheap chinese phones supported by lineage os tho.
Well today it’s maybe a bad idea (I havent really digged through it all recently but it seems to be a not good idea), but back in the day Xiaomi was the beast phone for cheap, with all the bells & whistles like swappable battery, sd card, good CPU & RAM etc. for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone or Samsung.
So well, time changes!

I’ve got your ICP registration info right here baby WOOP WOOP
ICP?
That’s right; the Insane Clown Posse demands you register your apps with them for your saftey.
Oh it is just part of Chinese censorship

Can you install a jailbreak OS, or is that not allowed for “safety”?
In this specific case can do it but the bootloader unlock request must come from a Chinese ip address, from a verified Chinese number (get otp code via SMS) and wait like one month
And I bet this process is going to add you to some list of people to keep an eye on.
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.
It sucks!
