Rubbish operating system as can not install some apps from Google Play Store. Waste of money.
How much money did you used on installing this operating system?
All apps can be installed from the Play Store if you can Bypass SafetyNet Issue. But I am still wondering, how much did you invested on installing this free community build ROM.
If you install miui through twrp will it get rid of twrp and install the miui recovery
Maybe you need to install the stock MIUI to get your MI recovery back! EU ROMs are modified. It may not tigger the OS to overwrite TWRP with stock recovery!
