Hello everyone. I have just found a new device in shop near me (Istanbul/Turkey) and I really liked the design and I am thinking of buying it.
I had an oppo device long time ago, while the hardware was nice, the rom was awful and I couldn't change it to English.
Is this still the case with the Find X? Is there a global rom? can it be flashed? I searched everywhere but I couldn't find the answer
Thanks.
Language not an issue. We are looking for a way to flash Global ROM, but havent found tool yet to do so. Other than that, great device with a few hiccups. Personally, really enjoying how responsive the device is, let alone the looks of it. Really snappy compared to Galaxy S9+, etc.
Will Oppo ever allow the Global Rom to be flashed on a the Chinese version?

Hi people
I have just bought a new phone, and selected S3. I've had Desire with MIUI and also the MI-One phone with MIUI. It is therefore no surprise that I am missing the versatile MIUI system on my S3. However S3 also has some good features, and I just can't decide wether I shall root the phone to get MIUI or leave it with stock rom. I would highly appreciate if someone with experience of S3 and MIUI would be so kind to share it with me.
- Why did you change to MIUI?
- What are the key benefits of changing? (better battery etc)
- How does S3 work with MIUI? (errors etc)
Perhaps there are some who changed to MIUI, but then have changed back to stock because something didn't work or some features of stock was missed on MIUI. Please also share this.
PS: If it is already started a thread with this question I am sorry. I haven't found one.
Looking forward to read your feedback!
*bump*
MIUI is a bag of balls. iphone wannabe. all the apps all over your screen. no dedicated section to store your apps. stick to stock
Bumping is banned .
Asking whats the benefits of this rom or that rom is also banned .

Hi
I'm sorry if I did something that is banned, and I don't think you understood my question. I have been using MIUI for almost two years, and I am quite aware of how it works. I tested many different ROM when I had Desire, as I thought the Sense was not good at the time. MIUI was the one I really felt for, because of its many adjustable things.
Now I have a brand new S3 and I just can't get used to the ROM that is on this. I have installed the MIUI launcher, and are happy with that. What I would like to hear is from people that have been using MIUI on S3, and get their feedback. And this means also positive and negative experiences. For some people MIUI will work great, and for some others it won't. I am aware of that, but it is so I can make up my mind if I wan't to root my S3 and install MIUI or just don't bother.
Some things that can be positive is better battery, better use of ram etc. Just can't see how this should be banned to ask for?
Hello Everyone
I would like to request a custom ROM for my Hisense C30. I've spent a little over 2 days pouring over forums/sites/anything really looking for a simple Android 7 stock ROM for my device. Basically, my device comes with what Hisense call Vision 4 skin. It's OK, if you can look past the spelling and grammer issues. But it also has limited functionality.
What I'm looking for is something simple. Basically a barebone Android skin (maybe similar to nexus).
I've managed to work around the Launcher, using Nova as apposed to the stock one or google launcher simply because Nova gives me more customization. But what I really want to change is the UI Skin - how the settings menu looks and works.
I'd also like to change my notification panel. As it is now, I can't edit it at all. Holding the cog for over 10 seconds doesn't do anything, and there is no pencil icon to edit it. I'm pretty much stuck with the notification icons Hisense decided to give me.
I'm willing to try and create my own ROM if someone can point me in the direction of a tutorial that will help me solve all my problems, however, I am noob, so I'm not quite sure how far I'll be able to get.
I'd really appreciate anyone's help with this as there is literally nothing for my phone - No cyanogenmod (I know they have shut down), no Lineage OS ROM, nothing here on xda.
If you are unable to directly help me but perhaps know of someone who could I'd really appreciate that too.
I honestly can't stand the Vision 4 skin and would pretty much do anything to get rid of it.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read my thread.
I look forward to hearing from you
I know this is an old thread, but I am having similar issues. I also have the Hisense C30 Rock and cannot seem to find any info, help or support on it anywhere (I have emailed Hisense themselves, but no response as yet). One of the selling points when I bought the phone (roughly 18 months ago) was that it would get an immediate upgrade from Nougat to Oreo - something I have not been able to obtain in all this time. I am also maddeningly frustrated with the Vision skin and can't seem to find anything useful or helpful on that either. I love the phone but these irritants and the lack of info/support are very disappointing. If you have found anything helpful at all, please share. Thanks!
I'm in similar situation. Can't find android 9/10 rom for this phone. no official rom released by Hisense so forced to go custom.
anybody know where i can find such custom rom?
Okay.. So here goes..
Elephone s8 purchased 2 months ago.. I'm with you guys when I see the frustration all you guys have with this phone..
You may have noticed this morning that Elephone has released not such an update but a patch so to say.
I Really dont want nor trust this company.. Its an unofficial update that will probably be aload of rubbish anyway.
Now I have been looking at skeletons ROM on here.. is it good? do you still use it? Is there anything new since?
Im just fed up and hoping you guys can shed some light.. Im petrified on where to start to even flash my phone as ive read up about devices being'bricked'? but willing to just to get something that is sufficient.
I merely ask as you guys are the guys to ask.. The leaders IMO in everything android.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Eragon is already dead. Skeleton has abandoned the project so no updates has been made since his last one.
I have not tried it nor the custom rom that was released on Elephone forums.

I suggest just using AEROM. Aerom is better than stock and Eragon. Aerom will be updated soon. And aerom fixed lot of bugs.

Erikki123 man I hope you're right.
how do you know about the update? can you share a link?
we're really hoping for oreo here for more than a year
You can download the new rom here but I wouldn't recommend it:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-14242-1-1.html
I have tried all three roms but the stock rom worked best for me. Additionally I flashed twrp and installed supersu for root.
I don't expect any future updates for the AEROM. I think they brought this out as kind of compensation because there will be no android 8 for this device. For me it caused more problems than it solved but experiences may be different on this special phone.
Edit: link corrected
I have tried all three too, and for now I stick to Eragon anyway.
I have contacted Elephone and can confirm that S8 and P8 are officially "dead", indeed.
That's disappointing, mainly because Elephone had started a campaign a year ago (or so) and promised at least two years of support from then on.
But then I have known Elephone from their previous flagships, owning both M3 and P9000, so I'm not really surprised.
But then they did a MUCH better job at bugfixing with M3/P9000 than thay did with S8. At least P8 is running rather flawlessly.
Please also find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 at:

I hope this helps.
hii, I first want to apologize for my bad english, it isn't my native language. secondly i wanted to ask if anybody here knows if lineageos or anything like these custom (nearly stock) roms is going to be available for the oppo find x and how long it would take before they will be released. I'm considering buying a OPX and i am pretty new to buying chinese phones, I heard a lot of complaints about not getting a notification of whatsapp or anything like this, I really don't like the idea that I would have to open whatsapp every time to see if i got a notification or not.
thanks for your help.

No apologies needed,make yourself at home @maikonor ........... :good:
While I can't speak regarding Whatsapp,you can get timely notifications for email/other SMS/MMS messaging apps,but,a lot of digging around in the settings is involved. Nothing beyond most users expertise,it's just a lot of redundancy & repitition,but,once set-up,my notifications come through just fine.
As for development,it's not unheard of on Oppo devices,but,is it possible with this phone ? IDK if the current firmware/software will support it.
If the promise of root/ROMs is a must,it's probably gonna be a while before development takes grip,if it ever does.
I'm hoping once the phone becomes available in more markets (international release/ROM),we'll begin to see some hint of what the future holds.

thanks for your reply, root/custom ROM is not a must for me if, I (in the netherlands) at least can change my home launcher.
Hey buddy, This is my second OPPO variant. From my previous experience on R11P, it was pretty nasty. Nothing was released from OPPO to support unlocking or Root the device. However, with Find X, OPPO has launched globally. It might change its perspectives regarding playing around with the systems. who knows. I hope they do, I love flashing ROMs, lolz!

Thanks for your reply, I hope they do change perspective and otherwise I will buy an oneplus 6.
The Find 7 was unlocked and they provided a rudimentary support for unlocking and rooting, this is the last vairiant that I'm aware of that saw wide release. Realistically that's all we need to obtain root, which is pretty easy via magisk. The Chinese launcher restrictions wont exist on the international handsets, those are for the Chinese market only and you'll be able to use the phone pretty much as normal in the Android world. It's all about whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. If yes we should be able to get root ourselves without special skills. From there it's just a matter of whether anyone with skills decides to pick up the phone and develop for it and then you've got TWRP and possibly a rom or two to play with.
I hope Oppo could release international version of the Find X rom
The chinese rom is pretty much unusable in North America
If it's like OPPO's other phones from the last few years, it will have a locked bootloader with fastboot removed and they won't release any kernel source.
Chinese OPPO fans tell you，It is very hard to request a root access or source code from OPPO，or just wait a loooong time:crying:，OPPO has always been like this，and sorry about my bad English，i want say more but i do not known how to
Explain in eglish(+_+)
Hard to do in China, there are rules there prohibiting that very thing and even when those don't apply Chinese companies are rightfully afraid to do something their dictator doesn't want because their executives would like to remain among the living. Chinese leaders are pragmatists however who enjoy the riches they deny the masses which means their products need to sell on a global market so they can keep enjoying all the things their populace is denied. The last product Oppo released in the world market was bootloader unlocked and they provided support for rooting. This does not mean the same will happen now but have no doubt they are well aware that their practices with Chinese phones will kill any hope at all of selling in the international market. Something to think about; One+ is owned by Oppo. They are unlocked and fully supported.
I am thinking about importing this phone but i wanna be sure to buy a phone that is generally well supported regarding custom roms. So far the only custom rom i see for this phone is the xiaomi.eu rom which can only be flashed via fastboot.
So my questions are:
1. Do you think it is worth buying this phone over the oneplus 8 pro (not only regarding specs but also regarding moddability)?
The specs would be nice to have but moddability is more important to me.
2. When do you guys think will major custom roms start to support this phone?
i am coming from the Axon 7 who is known as a "moddable" Phone. There are a lot of Custom Roms for this Device and i am a "flasher" too. But with the Mix 4 this is not needed. The Xiaomi.EU Rom Stable is the best solution i think because i like the MIUI.
i don't think that it is the best "moddable" Phone but it is a great Phone always.

Some custom ROMS in China supported this phone.But Mi 11 ultra is the best.
I consider myself picky when it comes to roms and for the last 4 years I used something very close to aosp. However I fully agree that xiaomi.eu is a very good and I don't feel any need to change it with anything else. That's even more impressive when you consider what a piece of trash is the original CN rom.
Of course more choice is always welcome, but the one option we have right now is close to flawless.
I've always used custom ROMs, GSI, LineageOS, etc.
I got my Mix4 this week thinking there was no way I was gonna use MIUI, but ... gotta say, once you customise it a bit - it works pretty well!
I got my Mix4 and Pad5 about a month or to ago and im kinda really fed up with miui, on the Pad5 there are a few gsis that work really well, but for the mix4 there unforuneatly isnt any aosp style rom, but i really hope there will be some day, im going tonbe flashing it the instant one comes available.
The opinions on this subject are quite split in the middle... as far as i know, they are working on it to create an AOSP-based alternative. I submitted for testing.
Before the Mix 4, i had my Mix 2 with Lineage almost constantly, since MIUI is just not my taste.
A aosp based rom would be awesome. Where can you submit for testing?
I'm on weekly xiaomi.eu MIUI13 A12 and it is amazing. Came from google pixel 6 pro. that was an unusable phone.
Same as me I just made the switch from the P6P on Wednesday. Got a bit bored with it.
For those asking about custom ROMs if you join the mix 4 official telegram page you'll find the info.
