Maybe the gestures are sensitive but every time I go out, the phone always opens my music player at destination. Have turned them off see if it happens again.

Never happened on 15.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Bluetooth seems to be a mixed bag so far. When it works it's fine, but when connection is lost re-pairing and forget/connect can be hit and miss. It will show the device but not be connected so you have to go deeper into settings to fix it.

More often I always end up going the long way round just to get connection.

BT ended up rock solid on 15 so I'm confident it'll improve.

Update. So clearing storage and cache in 'App info' seems to have fixed connection issue. Let's see how we get on...
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:

Mine keeps connecting, disconnecting, connecting... But only when there's no music playing, like it's trying to save power (so maybe it's one of the battery saving services under Android 9). Mine isn't forgetting, though. At least not yet...
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Tried again today, it has the device listed but wont connect. Have to go all the way in BT menu to connect manually.

It's a problem with Pie on the whole apparently. :eek:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Ah, yes, it loses the pairing in our car, too. It's a small annoyance, can live with that!
[Oppo R7 Plus] spongelovers:
is anyone success to install magisk on this rom ?
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
yes. I flashed it right after flashing the rom without any problem.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
On page one of this thread I've linked the su code to get magisk to install.
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
That file is not needed because I only flashed the magisk .zip file (download from here), then my phone has been rooted. :confused:
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Yeah it's a bit strange. When I first installed 16 I flashed magisk and manager and you could open the app but it showed magisk (the root side of it) in red and not installed. That's where the su file comes in, without it I was unable to install magisk (officially) and get full root control.

If you open magisk and both are green then you're good to go, but the file is there in case anyone might need it. You just flash it in TWRP.
[Oppo R7 Plus] spongelovers:
Hi guys please help

Anyone know how to deodex this ROM ?

i just need service.jar to be deodex because i want to make smalipatcher or anyone have ?

Ps : i dont have PC so i cant directly make smalipatcher using this phone instantly

Thankyou
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
Can you connect to hidden APs?
[Oppo R7 Plus] mikeleetech:
thanks it works
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
There may be an issue with other people hearing calls made with the phone. My daughter can hear my wife easily (she has a Oneplus 5) but she can hardly hear me at all. This is just anecdotal, but it would be interesting to see if anyone else has an issue with people not being able to hear them.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
No issues here. Are your volumes at reasonable levels? Maybe there's dust or lint blocking your mic. Just speculating ;)
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
The issue stopped when I reset all the settings for all the apps. Very strange! Thanks.
[Oppo R7 Plus] arsyy:
do I need to update the os in the settings? I see every day this OS updates the system
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Nightly updates. Some updates fix bugs, some introduce bugs, some add features, some install security updates. Whilst it isn't necessary to update every day, you might want to do it at least once a month to help protect your phone.
[Oppo R7 Plus] arsyy:
thank you for the information ... maybe I will update if it's final ... to connect the hidden SSID wifi still can't, for others it works
[Oppo R7 Plus] stupidfellow1997:
i hv been using it from CM 13, thanks dev for keeping maintaining the device:laugh::)
[Oppo R7 Plus] billybrownbear:
How does everyone's phone handle with this? My battery dies very quickly and the phone turns into a furnace
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
No issues here, but I did have to do a clean install from 21st Jun build. It pretty much borked my phone.

It's a hassle but Migrate app is great for keeping all settings, SMS, etc.

Once that was done it's been sailing. Battery is great and no heat issues.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
On 29th build and auto rotate has stopped working.
[Oppo R7 Plus] billybrownbear:
Good to know, thanks for the reply
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
One of the recent updates wrecked my phone, too. Lots of stuff stopped working. So I completely reset it and wiped the internal card in the process. Although saying that I wonder if some of it was down to the home ISP, because when I reinstalled the vstis for FLStudio, they were just mush. Did the same thing at a public hotspot and they worked. So wandering if lost data packets didn't help.
[Oppo R7 Plus] mvjh01:
Project Sprectrum always fails to install

Hi There,

I'm sending this to you as the developer as I have the above problem. I have an OPPO R7 Plus with android 6.0.1 and ColorOS v3. I have followed exactly the instructions for installation but whenever I try to flash Project Spectrum it fails. I wiped data first and the zip file is on internal storage, although recovery says phone storage but I' assuming this is the same thing. Could you help me with this do you think?

I have now seen after searching extensively that as I live in Australia, I have the global version. Would that be a problem for Project Spectrum?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
FLStudio on mobile or desktop? Awesome! I use Reason and a few others. Nothing better than chilling with your own beats :highfive:

Currently have 2nd July build on phone and no problems.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Both mobile and desktop. But I mainly use Studio One 4 on the desktop. Image Line just confirmed the garbled instrument issue with a Play Store update, so it was their fault all along! I'd done a search for the issue, but it obviously hadn't got much attention when I looked. I am having an issue with responding to comments on Google Play/editing a comment or review, though. The whole Google Play app just blacks out.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Weird, my Play Store app freaks out after last couple of upgrades. Have to reset storage and cache for it, then it's all good.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Yep, if I try to edit a review on Google Play, I get a black screen and have to minimise the app to remove it from running. I've tried updating lineage and gapps, no different. The clean install didn't help either. Hoping an update or two will correct things
[Oppo R7 Plus] mvjh01:
I have an OPPO R7 plus and live in Australia, which I believe makes it the global version. I am trying to install Project Spectrum to get fastboot but when I flash it it always fails. Could anyone please help me with this problem?

Edit: I see from updater-script in the zip file that it checks for r7plusf and mine would be r7plusg. If I deleted this line would installing it brick the phone?

So nobody can help with this?
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I can review apps on Google play again, so that's fixed. Phew!
[Oppo R7 Plus] markusarwan:
HELP

Hello, can anyone help me, i need QCN file for Oppo R7s/R7sf, because i lost my imei and signal after flashing failed.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Reverted to 26th Jul build, performance is awful with the last few builds.

Random lock-ups, stuttering and glitching all over the place.
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
Really? I'm using the 2nd August build without any problem. :confused:
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Afraid so. You can see the difference in file size from the 3rd to 4th builds.

After my post I decided to throw the 6th build over the 26thJul build and so far so good, don't know what the issue was with the 4th and 5th builds but they were awful on my phone.

If yours is working well then it's all good :highfive:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
The latest build really mucked up Bluetooth. Connection issues, wouldn't export contacts to the car. Slow loading apps and system crashing. Think I'll revert to one from a week ago. Normally these things tend to right themselves with a few updates. Hoping so, anyway.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Ditching the new build now, back to 26th.

Auto rotate not working. Still glitchy and slow.

I wouldn't recommend any of this months builds so far, some of the 'under the hood' changes have been detrimental.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I'm just about to go back to the last one in July. It's taken me a long time to back everything up, in case of disaster. I'm going to do a clean install, just in case. Wiping out the SD card, too, in case left over stuff in there isn't helping either.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Settled on the 30th. Just to be awkward :laugh:

Have you tried migrate for backing up your personal stuff? Worked a treat on my last clean install.

The performance now is spot on!
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
No. It's called Migrate? I'll look it up. I settled on 30 July, too. Working better than the Aug updates. Certainly reduced the size of my overall installation ?. I use Evie launcher and backed up the home screen before I began. When I restored it, homescreen was completely blank. Haha. Fortunately I had Google's backup from the beginning of July to fall back on.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Yep, Migrate. You'll find it on the play store.

It backs up all your apps and personal stuff to a zip. You then flash whatever rom and then add the backup as an extra zip in TWRP, and upon reboot everything is back. Really handy and saves you loads of time.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
That sounds brilliant. I'll give it a go.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
The 31 July version was still flakey, so I updated to the 12 Aug build and that was a lot, lot better. Stable, no crashes, faster. The estimated time left for transferring large files from the internal storage to the SD card was hilariously wrong (ranging from 1,200 days to minutes and back again), but everything else works fine. Not sure it would do if I had not reverted back to the July build on a completely wiped phone first, though.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Yeah, been using 12th for a couple of days. Definitely the best one this month. Snappy and quick.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I've moved onto the 15th now, seems a little buggy. I'd skip that one if I were you!
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
No worries!
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I'm going back to the 12th. The current build is painfully slow and network connection glacially slow.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
You make its shortcomings sound poetic. Will avoid. :good:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
:laugh:
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Installed latest (21st) build. Looks like the glitchy performance has been fixed, along with camera issues (19th build)

Nice and snappy, will keep an eye on this one :good:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I'll go ahead and install today's build then. Thanks for the update.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Anytime. Seems to be working well.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Yep, it's the smoothest yet for a few weeks.
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
Hey, Android 10 looks cool, will we have it? And when?
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Couldn't fetch licence, error -1

I'd be interested to learn if anyone else gets this download error when trying to download movies from Google Play. Google claim it's an Oppo issue and have wiped their hands of it.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

The phone is very old now. It would be a miracle of we got Android 10. We only just got Android 9.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
First couple of Lineage 17 cherry picks in last update. My fingers are tightly crossed! :fingers-crossed:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Hope so! I could do with a more powerful phone with a bit more space and battery, but i still can't afford it yet. Maybe next year.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
The update button in the 'Google' app freezes the phone. I'm forced to do a reboot to get functionality back. This might have been present for a while, but only just noticed. Also, it could just be corruption on my phone. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has the same problem (applying the last two nightlys didn't help, but they weren't from a fresh reset).
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
No crash here on the September-3rd version.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Thanks. I'll have to do a complete reset. Ugh!
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
The last few builds have been a bit ropey tbh. Gone from snappy to pot luck, phone says maybe.

If it doesn't improve going to roll back to the good builds from a couple of weeks back.

Haven't seen the problem you're having though :confused:
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
Can you run the latest versions of twrp (3.3.x) on https://dl.twrp.me/r7sf/#?

I can't run it on my phone, the phone will restart when boot into the recovery mode.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
No issues here, been running 3.3 since release.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I'll do a complete reset and see what effect that has. It's not a major issue, thank goodness. Our ISP is so rubbish that it is hard to tell if it's them or Lineage at fault with slowness issues.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Gotta say, this month's builds have been excellent so far. Keep up the great work guys :highfive:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Resetting, and wiping the phone and reinstalling Lineage fixed the issues. I agree, current builds are very good indeed. I'm a bit confused as to why you sometimes need to click on the notification to sign into a public hotspot and other times you just click on the network connection button again to sign in to the hotspot. Touch support would be great for GApps in the boot menu, too, as I have to do everything via the physical buttons (it worked once with touch support, but never again), but maybe that's a GApps issue. Photo apps are also snappier. Although it does appear to be struggling more with loading everything in FL Studio, but that might be the app rather than the OS. These are all just niggles, though. I'm very happy with the current state of the build. Thank you to whoever has worked on this over the years.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Don't recommend the last update (13th). The performance tanked, bluetooth couldn't hold a link. Decided to revert to previous version, now I can't get past the login screen. So yeah, may have to format :crying:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Bugger. I skipped that one. Installing the 15 Nov now. Hope that's ok.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Let us know how you get on.

Luckily I had a month old backup that worked, so no need to wipe :good:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
The network seems to be a lot snappier, not coming and going and the signal strength is much better, too. Wouldn't know how that compares to your previous working copy because that was newer than my previous working copy ?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Sounds like your new copy is better than my new copy, though now I'm on an old copy which works better than my old/new copy.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Lmao!!:laugh:
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
17th build and all is well :cool:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Is the 17th the newest, or is it just newer than the older one you reverted to, after the newer older build proved to be worse than the older newer build before it?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
You're not gonna get a Christmas card with questions like that :eek:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Maybe after the next build then?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Maybe :D
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Last couple of builds seem to have lost ability to backup photos to Google. It just isn't seeing any photo folders (Instagram, likewise). Anyone else having this issue?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Don't use it I'm afraid. I've noticed a lot of the app permissions have sorta been reset. Have you given it access?
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Yes. In fact none of the apps can see the photo folders. Clean install, too. I've checked permissions and they look good. Chrome freezes up at times, too. I have to clear the cache for the app every few minutes when I'm on Amazon, for example. No reported viruses. Although it could be partly due to our broadband, which just keeps getting worse. I'm hoping that in a couple more weeks all will magically be well again!
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Google Photos miraculously discovered all the folders yesterday. Really weird.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Good things come to those who wait ;)

Speaking of which, if/when the Reno Ace comes to the UK I'll probably replace this great phone! :confused::fingers-crossed:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
You're in the UK, too. Might have known ?. I want a good camera, I'm fed up of middling phone cameras. Saw the Huawei p30 was down to £500 in the black Friday, but it's got to have Google and lineage support. I don't care much for security issues, as I think all the sides are at it. You just choose your poison, lol. I'll look at the Reno Ace though, thanks for the recommendation.

.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Small world eh?!
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Yep. Oh god, you're not my parole officer are you? ? JJ, lol
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
See that car outside, that's me. Keep the tag on! :D
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Lmao!!
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
:laugh: LOL! :laugh:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
lineage 17 is coming to many more phones now, the pace is picking up. Still hoping for one last refresh for the Oppo R7 Plusf. In mobile terms, it's ancient. But I can't afford a new phone until the Summer. And then it's on a 0% deal if possible. But I suspect the developer must have moved onto a new phone years ago, so this is to thank him for all the work he's done on keeping this excellent piece of hardware going.
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Looks like the rumoured Oppo Find X2 might be the best successor to the R7 Plus f, from what has just been announced. Anyone have their favourite replacement lined up? Is everyone waiting to see if Lineage will support their favoured model?
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Will probably stick with Oppo for next slab, my R7S has been rock solid for four years. Thanks for heads up on Find X2, will keep an eye on it. Hopefully won't be too long. Reno Ace still my first choice for now.

Unless the devs get these phones I can't see Lineage making an appearance, plus Oppo like to lock their bootloaders now.

ColorOS worked quite well I thought, had no issues with it at all unlike most journos.

Oh well :confused::eek:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Either the Find or the Ace, I agree. But if they're not going to get Lineage, it will probably be neither. Oppo really pissed me off giving a phone that was already a year out of date and with no updates materialising ever. Talk about obsolescent!
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
The last update was march this year if I'm right. Being on Lineage I couldn't be bothered with the faff involved.

The hardware is great, just a pity the software doesn't back it up. Although I hear they are going in a better direction with ColorOS 7, we'll see.

Log is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14y1_YxJl76YqJ8tmiIXoxpBkvaiBofFT

Thank you !!!
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
Do you follow my comment exactly?
[Oppo R7 Plus] jeffshee:
Yes, I'll post my procedure here, so please check it for me!

1. From stock ColorOS Rom, I unlocked the bootloader by following https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/r7sf/install#unlocking-the-bootloader

2. Now with the Project Spectrum flashed, I flashed twrp by following https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/r7sf/install#installing-a-custom-recovery-using-fastboot

So far so good.

3. Then I followed the last step, https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/r7sf/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery strictly. Soon I booted into LOS, I noticed WiFi is not working.

After that I noticed your post, so here is what I did:

1. Wipe > Factory Reset, also wiped 'System'

2. Flash Project Spectrum zip package

Now I booted into Spectrum, connected to AP during the initial setup, also checked that everything is working fine.

3. Boot to recovery, this time without any wiping as you stated, straight away I do the adb sideload with LOS zip package then the GAPPS.

4. Wipe > Factory Reset (so this is after the flashing, also note that if I didn't do the factory reset it will stuck at the boot loop)

Booted into LOS, sadly noticed that the wifi still doesn't working. Also note that bluetooth failed to work as well, not sure you had encounter this as well or not.

Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
No, do not do the step 4. This is very important.

Try again and maybe you need wait some time for it to boot.
[Oppo R7 Plus] jeffshee:
Ohh, so it was NOT to wipe anything throughout the whole process uhh, thanks! Finally got it working, very tricky indeed.

Now I wonder if the wifi will break again after an OTA update or a soft factory reset in the settings after this.. :confused:
[Oppo R7 Plus] trmdi:
OTA update doesn't affect.

About Factory Reset, I don't know, I've never tried it because I don't want to waste my time for testing that.
[Oppo R7 Plus] RaizelVinz:
Cannot receive sms after install los 16

I can't receive sms after install los 16 . anyone having same issue with me?
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Any news yet on whether the phone will be updated to Android 10 or even 11, now that version is on the horizon? I doubt it, but it would be nice to know if I need to start saving for a new phone. Also, what phones are people upgrading to? My biggest fear is getting a phone that Lineage is unable to take on.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
Nearly pushed the button on Realme X2pro, now looking at Realme X50pro 5g, Oppo Find X2, and the Sony X1-ii if and when. Like the idea of ColorOS with less bloat so Realme high on my shortlist. Only issue now is manufacture and availability due to this virus malarkey.

Not too fussed with lineage at this point. I shouldn't feel apprehension whenever a new update comes out but sometimes the phone just performs like a hog after one.

Whatever comes next, all I want is:

Root (TWRP)

UFS3.0

5G (maybe)

90Hz OLED

Fast charging

TOF camera (for the geek in me)

:highfive:
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
I've been looking at the same phones:

Xiaomi Black Shark 3

realme x50 pro 12gb

Xiaomi Mi 10 pro

Oppo Reno 3

Oppo Find X2

The x50 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi Note, however, have a few compromises too many, considering their price. These ones have the new processor in and Android 10 and the top versions have decent storage.
[Oppo R7 Plus] LordAlberto:
You hit the nail on the head. All manufacturers have compromises, which ones do you settle for :confused:

Good list btw, always worry about Xiaomi build quality though...
[Oppo R7 Plus] Luuta:
Yes, Oppo looks to be better built than Xiaomi, but it looks like Oppo might be £100 more expensive.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

I've just read XDA's article on Xiaomi phone lockdowns. It's easy to brick them and you can't unbrick them without going to a Xiaomi support centre. Which means that for anyone in the West, you have a useless brick.

So it looks like one of the Oppos.
