Ive tried almost all options and apps to customize my phone and the American version of the theme store is trash and it sucks to always translate the screen. So with a Chinese region Realme theme store in conjunction with a few apps called I mod I've only been able to really change the global font so far. Not being able to unlock my bootloader due to being T-Mobile and I pay for the phone still. However I will say the phone has been a beast of a phone with the only down side being the difficulty the us OnePlus brand doesn't get the same premium treatment as the rest of the world. So if you guys want me to tell you how to at least switch global fonts let me know and I will post a guide. Screenshots for proof below.
do let me know how plz
would be great to know how to change fonts (rooted or not rooted, either way). Thanks.

Is it possible to change the region to USA to get English? The best that I can do is get Singapore English which is off some. Bought from vendor on Amazon and he was clueless where it was from.
If the language isn't there, its not there. The region is set in the ROM, so there is no way to change it, without being able to flash a new ROM. So your best hope is for the devs here to achieve S-Off and root, and then you can load any ROM on the Flyer you want.
Actually try this app, Localeswitch (yes with an e in between) I'm amazed not many people know about it!!

Have you actually tried it, and does it work? Meaning, does it allow display of languages not normally selectable on your device? The app description doesn't say much about what it actually does. If the language is not already in the ROM, I don't think this app is going to magically make it appear. But the question then is, are the languages already in the ROM, but just not normally selectable from Sense (hidden)?
It is possible.
Search Android Market for an App called "Set US". Install the App and Run it. The App will seem to do nothing for you but it resets the locale on your Flyer to US locale.
If your Flyer has a 3G SIM slot for insert the a T-mobile USA SIM that works before you perform the steps above as HTC uses SIM identity to determine the region of operation your HTC Flyer in parts.
Hence, if you a USA SIM inserted, your HTC Flyer default to showing prices in the market in US $. If you use a UK SIM, you will see it in British pounds, etc.
Hope that helps.
There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

That’s a relief as the whole reason me for getting rid of the Chinese version and buying the global version was due to the terrible restrictions .

Hey! I'm looking into getting the Oppo Find X. I live on the UK and I realise that I can get it in Europe in France or something but it is €999 which is around £880. I did some digging and found I can import the Australian version because it's cheaper and is around £700. (Note I can only afford around £700 so please don't say just to import it from France anyway).
I would like to know if the Oppo Find X Australian version is basically the international version and if it comes with the following things...
1. Google Play Services
2. Ability to change launcher
3. If the Australian version is missing any features the Europe version has.
4. Will I receive notifications
Thank you and hope to get an Oppo Find X soon!
Hello. First, there's no really "international version" of this phone. You have Chinese version, Spanish version, french version, Australian version, etc.
They all are pretty much the same. The only one that is different is the Chinese version.
Regarding your question:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Don't think so, cause they are pretty much the same. What you will miss in all version, except Chinese version, is the navigation gestures. Oh, and the oppo change theme store. But if you're planning to use a third party launcher that won't affect you
4) Probably you will have to make some adjustments to get your notifications

Thank you so much! The navigation gestures not being there is kinda annoying but idm haha. Thank you and hopefully I can get the phone soon (going from Note 8)! Big help, thanks!
You're welcome!
I have the Chinese version and it's good. I'm very used to the navigation gestures so not having it in others version is very disappointed, but that's my opinion. And not having Spanish language is not good neither, but I use more locale and is good now.
This phone with stock Android would be the best phone ever.
Probably the worst thing about this phone is the notifications, not just having problem with receiving them, but I hate that they're not show in the status bar. You have to swipe down to see them...very annoying.
I'm using Australian version 128gb with vooc. I have both gestures, and theme store. We also have 256gb Super vooc and Lamborghini. I can't comment on them.
Hello everyone,
I took advantage of a trip to Shenzhen to buy a Double Sim Mate 20 Pro 128GB LYA-AL00.
Is there a way to put an European rom on it? I have a lot of bloatware, useless Chinese applications and I only get notifications from WeChat, it's annoying ... lol.
If a solution exists, it will be great!
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I read on Funky Huawei's Twitter feed that they were able to install the global ROM on a Chinese M20P but it did not rebrand the phone to a different region.
Since bootloader unlock codes seem to be available again there might be some ROM development.
Unfortunately Funkyhuawei does not respond to my tweets or emails. So, I do not know if something is possible or not. Currently the Chinese Rom is full of bloatware, I have big problems of notifications and the applications of background. If anyone has any advice to give me or a procedure to follow, I want to try because despite this smartphone is great, this ROM is very difficult for me.
