Hi Guys,

Hope you guys are fine. As you guys know the development for our beloved OnePlus X is increasing day by day; thought I might share what I found in one of Opo Chinese forum with the permission of the Dev who developed this rom.

I've provided the description simple as much as possible using google translate(God Damn it!!)

ColorOS 2.1

Color is everything to us. It shapes us, molds us, and makes us who we are. ColorOS was designed to bring that same sense of excitement and warmth to the smartphone world. An OS that combines speed, efficiency and stability to bring pixels to life.​

My personal Guessing how this rom was developed:

As you might know the Oppo A30 device is a direct clone of our OnePlus X. So, it appears the Dev has used the same sources to compile the Rom for our onyx

New Build :D Check here for download link and changelogs

Features:

1. Color OS v2.1 based on Android 5.1.1(LP)

2. Stable and smooth Experience(Trust me, you'll love the smoothness ;) )

3. Support the Three-Stage Switch, Black Gesture

4. Many features, you can feel it on your own experience

Flashing Procedure:

If you don't know what is this, then please stay away. Rest of them can continue further.

Unlock Bootloader (you might think this is a lame one)

Flash Twrp recovery or similar

Download and copy rom on phone

Go into recovery (phone off, press power button + Volume up until some seconds from vibration, then release only power button for 2 seconds and release also volume button)

Do a nandroid backup (don't blame me if you mess up something at the end)

Do all wipes (except internal memory and ext SD, Wipe section)

Tap Install voice

Select the rom

Swype to flash

Reboot

Getting Root:

Couldn't get the attachments from the original post so tried flashing SUv2.52 and voila, I got root access. You can check the Screenshot for confirmation

If you don't have time for google, you can download SU from here or here which I used.

Bugs:

Everything should be working fine as I couldn't find any bug listed in the original post :D

[*]Not really a bug, couldn't get Google service to work on this, something you might want to think if you plan to use this as your daily driver

Still many part of the rom is in chinese, hopefully the Dev can bring a global variant of the OS to our device.

Getting Google Play Services to work

First download this Google installer file from here. Once you install the downloaded app you'll be getting a startup like the below image:

Press the Blue Button. You will now be provided with a screen like below:

Please make sure you're connected to your wifi or mobile data. You'll now be prompted to accept the installation like given below:

Once you've accepted all the installations, you'll now be able to add your google account and you'll be having the Playstore. Once you've setup your google account you can use the play store to download all your favorite google apps ;) I guess this makes this rom a daily driver :D

Working:

Everything

Feel free to show yours to the community.

Note: Don't know why the model number shows as E1001, trust me this rom was flashed on a E1003 model so feel free to ignore the model number in the image.
