Google apps package
Since the custom ROM build is in beta and is a Chinese ROM so it won’t have any Google apps installed on it. You have to download the Google apps package from Open Gapp’s website and flash it just like the custom ROM via TWRP recovery.
Steps to Install MIUI 11 on Xiaomi smartphones
- Download the custom ROM zip package and Google apps package, move it to your phone’s internal memory.
- Reboot your smartphone to the TWRP recovery mode.
- First, wipe the phone using the Wipe option.
- Then, install the custom ROM zip package using the Install option.
- Install the Google apps zip package and reboot the smartphone to OS mode.
- You will see a new boot animation which means the custom ROM has been successfully installed.
Conclusion
If your phone does not boot up after the ROM installation then do not panic, just flash the custom ROM again. If you find any other error during or after the installation then tell us about it in the comments.
