Most of us using the Global ROM and few of you may also be using the China ROM, and you might be wondering - What are the differences between Global and China ROM version  and which one to choose. Well, let me explain both the ROMs.


Global ROM

Global Build comes with English as the default language, with multi-languages facility (which is one of the reasons Flyme Global ROMs are usually bigger in size than Flyme China ROMs). The significant benefit is, many prefer their native language over English. Global ROM is preferred by most global users because this build comes with preinstalled GAPPS installer and without Chinese apps and services. They are updated after the China build, sometimes takes months to release Global version. With GAPPS, users lose some features such as online music, fully functional cloud storage etc. The Global Build usually comes with only Stable ROMs.


China ROM

The Chinese version comes with Chinese as default language and only English among the Global languages. There are not many language options to choose from. The China Build doesn't contain Google Apps and Services (GAPPS) or any installer for the same and contains some Chinese apps and services. Some Global users call them bloatware, but for Chinese people those are actually very useful. China ROMs usually comes with more features than Global ROMs, as they have no conflicting copyrights issues and have less restrictions than the Global market. There will be certain elements of Chinese within, as translation work might not be absolutely complete for certain parts of the ROM. Also, Google integration via installation through applications might be imperfect and could cause issues.
