Hey guys, I live in China and I just got one from their flagship store in Shanghai, must say it's indeed a very impressive phone but only on hardware perspective, as for the software, nah.
More details will be available once I have time to explore, main phone still will be Galaxy S8 and iPhone X at this moment

I would say it's okay for the camera but not the best, its cheaper sibling Vivo Nex has better image quality compared with.
The speaker is mono unfortunately, I think they don't have enough space to fit a large audo component into that tiny upper frame, a bit sad.
Battery is above the average, will do a intensive battery consumption test once I have time.:fingers-crossed:

So far the only way is to get adb working
Type
Adb shell (hit enter)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher (hit enter)
However when you swipe up from center it gives you a blank screen. You then have to hit lock screen or drag up from center and hold to show recents then you can drag up from center and it will go to your launcher.
Before using the command above make sure you already have the 3rd party launcher installed
Got one from China, using in Canada right now
Google Assistance isnt working for me (cannot trigger via voice or home button)
Android Auto is not working
Have trouble to disable voicemail notification, Pixel 2 can disable it via some trick but not working with Find X
LTE band works great and download/upload speed is faster than my Pixel 2 (Telus+Freedom Mobile)
URL Links that require to open Google Play wont work, it will open the built-in broswer even I switch the default browser to Chrome, it will not open google play directly
Same idea for google calendar and other google deep intergrated services/app
Need International ROM!!!

My OFX should be arriving any minute now....
Is there an option in the settings to go without a lockscreen?
I don't use a lock screen of any sort, I'll be giving this app a shot (with & without a lock screen) to see what, if any, effect it has, with both swipe gestures & nav buttons.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
I realize most people use a lockscreen but,thought some may be willing to go without one if, in exchange, you may be able to skip a couple of swipes/etc... in the process.

I don't see a option for that, but you might be able to delete it. I'm not going to try that one.
Yep, never use a lockscreen and go straight to the GUI from the fingerprint scanner or face unlock, positively hate the extra step. It's a key issue for me so I'm counting on you folks getting it resolved.

Found the setting to turn off lockscreen,but,at least for now,it comes at a price:
The good news: Look no further than developer options,it's the 2nd option.
The not so good: You're stuck with the yellow warning background in the status bar
The background color could be disabled on the VIVO NEX by killing the VIVO Services app,at least until the next reboot,not the best option,but,I could live with it.
Perhaps the OPPO equivalent,whatever that .apk is named,will serve us the same result,I'll be spending the better part of the evening trying out different apps.........

Drag it to the side to show the gear icon and tap on it. Then, there should be something related to this "displayed over other apps" notification. Just disable it.

The app MIUI-ify has nothing to do with EMUI!
Anyway, persistent screen overlay notifications have been introduced by Google (not by Huawei!) for security reasons starting from Android Oreo.
To permanently disable these notifications coming from the Android System follow these instructions:

Sorry, unfortunately MIUI-ify is an app with only 50.000+ installations, I'm not going to install on my phone any app with a questionable reputation (and of no avail for my use).
But you can try the method posted above.

Hi all, I've recently bought a Reno 10x in China and I've several issues with that color OS : ROM PCCM00_11_A 18_96c98aa7
1) no notification icons on the status bar ; I've tried everything , but it seems that in my ROM there isn't the sub menu "notification prompt mode"
also I've no numbers notification on the dot on the app icon.
Basically it impossible for me to see if I've have new message on WhatsApp for example, of course I've notification on the screen look menu , but since I use every day the fingerprint sensor I never see the screen look.
2) isn't possible to configure Google assistant and more over the phone is blocking the automatic voice match ( I've a ROM with BREENO as assistant) :-0
3) Whit Google maps is impossible tho share my location with my friends (color is apparently is blocking )
4) problems with exchange:
I had no app for mail by default so Installed Gmail : ok it's work , but calendar and tasks from exchange are not showing!! So it's impossible for me to work!
No way , it's a mess ....
Could someone help me ? Do I need to install a "real" global ROOM?
How can I do?
Many thanks !
I've got the same problem with the notifications. Someone a solution?

For the application, you must also give all permissions, autorun and notification settings. It starts to work not immediately, it was about 5-10 minutes for me, but after all the notifications come right away.
Did all of this, but still no icons on statusbar.

Hi, can you tell me more how to do the tweak on Oppo Reno so to get icon notifications on status bar? Like explain every step as I am quite "green" with that stuff... Thanks
At this point there is no way to get notifications on the status bar. I have the same problem and am trying to return the phone because I already wasted too much time trying to fix this along with all the other problems:
tl;dr; DO NOT buy the Chinese rom version!
- Notifications are all disabled by default. You have to enable them individually for every single app, and most apps have multiple notification types that each need to be separately enabled.
- The process for enabling notification for an app includes changing notification settings, power settings, startup settings, and locking the app in recents, for every single app.
- Only 5 apps can be enabled to receive notifications (startup options).
- Can't change the default SMS app, it will revert back when you receive a message.
- Can't change the default launcher without removing the coloros launcher through adb.
- Swipe gesture will not work if you do remove the default launcher.
- Nova launcher badge permission gets reset so you no longer see notifications.
- There is no way to flash the global rom.
How do people actually use this phone?
Hi, I see... For me besides the lack of icons on status bar the phone seems good as I don't plan to change launcher or rom. ( I know bit boring, but I've faced the same issue with Vivo)
But guys have have you heard of Xiaomi Mi 9 global version has the same problem with status bar icons and they came up with an app that's available on Play Store: Notch Test. And it worked well. I tested it myself. Can we do it with Oppo??? I mean can someone do such app for Oppo Reno?

This is common issue for phone selling in China.
If want China brand phone, must get global edition instead of China edition. This apply to Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. I not sure on Huawei, maybe also same.
Yes avoid oppo Chinese version
Awful app restriction
Does the global version work as normal with notifications?
Thinking about buying 5g version.

Quite Simple. Install Adb... Then write

And boom all the notifications will start working. App won't be killed in the background.

Anybody know how to get autofill from Google? I have all files but there is no autofill in settings
Where can I get google play apk for my chinese version?
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

There's an app called notify buddy that you can try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Having a notification like that on the AOD would most likely have to be baked into a custom ROM but it's a cool idea.

Yeah I was hoping more for something capable of hooking into Ambient Display itself. The description for this app explicitly says the first thing you do is "Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app."
I wonder if something like a Magisk module could do this.

Try AOE from the play store. I have it set so the AOD only comes on when a notification comes in. I have the edge lighting set to the colour back as I use a black wallpaper for my lock screen. Or you can play with the coloured edge. Up to you.
Interesting, yes it looks like AOE can draw over Ambient Display. Requires a crap ton of permissions but it works!
I can't seem to get AOE to work on my phone, I have Android 11 installed any help please?

It's not a very intuitive app. But basically you have to walk through all the app menus and let it ask for all the different permissions it needs, before it will actually work on Ambient Display.
It's sad to admit but i don't get it. I activated all the permissions but only get the standard AOD.
Could anyone export his settings? That would be awesome...
Hi, I followed these instructions:

These worked for me. I'm playing still around with some options, but if you follow the steps in the guide linked above it should work.

Thank you! That guide worked perfect. Any clue of the battery usage difference between ambient display vs this?
No, I have no clue. I've never used the "classic" ambient display. Battery in general is very good, but I'm not a power user. Usually the battery of my smartphones last about 1.5 to 2 days.
I'll currently monitoring the battery life of the Pixel. With my user profile it will last at least 1.5 days.
i try do get the ambient Display only to show up when notification arrives or Phone is charging.
have been playing around with Always on Edge app but it seems i can't get the settings right. the app realy isnt intuitive.
anyone can help how to set it up right?
greetings

Hello
I also tried AOL but the program does not work on my Pixel 4a. Then I found this one - "LED Blinker " and everything works perfectly. You can download it from this site, but you must be registered.

It works great for me, for now I'm checking the battery situation.
I hope I helped and sorry for my poor English.

Hi, can you upload apk somewhere else and make a mirror link, please?
I have trouble registering because of the cyrillic captcha.

Thank you!
I have turned on AoD and I find it a suitable alternative to the led. There are notification icons in the centre of the screen when a notification has gone off.
Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Lock Screen
Always show time and info on.
Everything else is off.
I know some links here, they will be useful for sure!
