[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
Not yet, if you try it will give you an error about being an older version, or something like that. I've tried lots of different ways, none worked so far. I think it might be possible to manipulate the update script to not perform the checks which abort the update, but I can't test any further as my device is currently bricked.

Warning to all, don't touch the super partition with fastboot!
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
Is the notification issue solved on the Chinese version on Android 11? By that I mean, the limitation to only run 5 apps on startup (that aren't approved by Oppo). And also does always on display work for 3rd party notification icons yet.

Thanks!
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] pashtet236:
Unchanged...

PDEM30

ColorOS 11 for Android 11 received 30.09.2020

Build number: PDEM30_11_C.05

Firmware version: Q_V1_P14

Kernel version: 4.19.110-perf+

Last security update 5.10.2020

On my device, the limit of 5 apps remains.

AOD also does not display missed messages from WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.

As I understand it, AOD only displays calls via the native app, SMS, and something else, such as WeChat.

Google Assistant is not activated by voice or the Power button, because Voice Match cannot be enabled.

By clicking on the microphone icon in the Google search bar, it works perfectly.

Something like that...
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
Thanks, that's what I thought. Some guy on eBay is selling a PDEM30 and claims that all is working well now in terms of notifications - but clearly not.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
Hi,

I would like to buy Oppo Find X2 Pro but this price is very high in EU.

I've read previous pages and flashing Global Rom isn't possible with CN version, it's ok.

Are there any real drawback with CN Version with EU ?

And more, many traders offer a 8Gb + 256GO version, but the Official Oppo Store present only 12gb+512go ??

Thanks for your help
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
There are a several drawbacks on the Chinese version and I think only 2 positives:

Drawbacks:

1. Limited to 5 non-approved start-up apps - this means you can only have 5 apps start up when the phone boots. If they are not started I don't think you get notifications. E.g. if you have eBay installed but don't select as a start up app, you won't get notifications until you open the app. For me, I had eBay, WhatsApp, Slack, Google Duo, Facebook messenger - but could have done with more, like Zoom, Skype, etc.

2. Google backup doesn't work (Google photos does, just not app data, SMS and call logs)- you can use the Oppo cloud backup but that doesn't help if you move to a non-Oppo device. You might be able to do a local backup, didn't try. Ypou can also use an app like SMS Backup and restore - leaving just the app data being a problem.

3. No "Ok Google" voice recognition, the button is greyed out. You also can't use the power button to launch Google assistant, but you can add the Google search bar widget or add to the shortcut slider bar to launch it.

2. No notification icons on the Always On Display for non-native apps - a minor annoyance.

4. Warranty - although Oppo UK did fix my Chinese version (they had to reflash it), it isn't yet a standard offering, although they did tell me it would be at some point in the future.

5. No Google services by default, you'll have to install the Google Playstore (from APKmirror.com) and go from there - no big deal

6. You'll probably want to remove a load of the Chinese apps, but some of them can only be removed using ADB, e.g. the default browser app. Again, not a big deal as long as you're familiar with ADB.

7. You can't use a third party launcher like Nova, it will install but keep reverting to the default loancher.

8. You can use a 3rd party messaging app, but it will occasionally revert back to default app.

9. Netflix isn't available from the play store, but you can download an APK that will work.

10. Only English US is available, not UK. So if you'll see American spelling and dates in MM/DD/YY format in places.

Positives:

1. Cheaper

2. Dual SIM

Basically, if you're ok to remove some of the apps and live with the above then get one. I almost could but decided to pay get the EU version instead (used but in perfect condition off eBay was only £580) .
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
Ok, Thank's. Waouw, it's just crazy I think.

8GB+256GO is a really

X2 Pro

version in Asia ?

Updates are possible with CN version if I am an European resident ?

And do you know if it's possible to buy a Global Version since Thai or Singapour (lower price) ?

I read that parcl.com is a solution but I don't know this website.

Thanks
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
I think 256GB / 12GB is standard on the Pro in China, you need get the Lamborghini version to get 512GB - but that's silly money.

You'll get the OTA updates just fine no matter where you are. I wanted a Singapore variant as it's the same as we get here in Europe but with Dual SIM enabled (same with Thailand) - but it still works out quite expensive - cheaper than here in Europe though.
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
Ok.

Dual-Sim is not important for me.

Last question : which website can I find Thai Version ?
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
Just curious, why do you want the Thai version? By the time you buy and pay someone to forward the parcel to you, it will cost like £900. Oppo have had a few promos on this phone. They had it for £900 on Amazon plus you got a set of £400 B&O headphones a couple of months back (I did that and sold the headphones, making the phone cost around £650). Might be better to wait for a flash sale or promo.

Oppo have an online store in Thailand, or you can buy from https://shopee.co.th/oppo_official_store

But I found it tricky to know what version I'm getting, i.e. an unlocked phone opposed to a carrier locked phone. If your primary goal is to save money and you're happy with the EU spec, I'd get an almost new one from eBay. Thankfully, a lot of people seem to buy this phone and either find it too big or they have come from Apple and can't adapt to Android, so sell within a few weeks or even days. I've bought 2 from eBay, both in perfect condition. A bit of a risk but saves a few hundred pounds!!
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] BlueMeany68:
There are numerous ones available on a well known auction site (including mine!)
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
I thought that the Thai version would cost me less.

Few years ago, I bought a used smartphone. Guy bailed out the operator, who blocked the phone after 1 year..

I don't have confidence anymore with used smartphone.

I hope a good promo with Black Friday.

With CN version, Limited to 5 non-approved start-up apps , why not.

But Google backup doesn't work, it's so difficult for me…

thank you for your big help !
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
Hi,

After few come-back on differents website, I understand that it's 3 versions in the market :

- Chinese Version with Chinese Rom

- Chinese Version with Global Rom (multilanguage and Play Services installed)

- Global Version

Drawbacks you're talking about, it's with CN Rom or Global Rom ? (smartphone is Chinese Version in both situation, it's ok)

Are you B28 Bands in 4G FDD-LTE in Products Description ?

Thanks
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] klanbo78:
I'm not aware of a Global Chinese ROM. If there is then I want it! :)

You can obviously install Google services on the Chinese ROM, but haven't seen this officially available anywhere.

LTE bands are the same on both - so B1, B3, B7, B20, B32 and B40. B20 I think is the one that some phones don't have I don't think there is a band B28.

My Chinese variants are both up for sell too on the popular auction site, tea Orange versions :)
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Ptitgirondins:
Ok thanks.

B28 band is most important in France for a specific operator.

Few versions that I found included B28 Band :

" 4G (FDD-LTE): b1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B13/B17/b18/B19/B20/B25/B26/B28/B29/B32/B66 "
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] jorikello:
Good day, friends!

Can anyone tell me when is the last security update for MI A2? Is there schedule from Xiaomi?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
middle of next year as far as i know, 3 years of security patches and 2 of major updates, it was released early-mid 2018 so i guess we got our 2 major updates o -> p and p -> q.

based on the mi a1 history that's not getting android 10 i would guess by the end of the year xiaomi is off the hook with support.

it's very goood news that lineage picked it up officially together with all the sd660 xiaomi phones
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] jorikello:
What do you mean? There is only MI A1 ROM to download on official site:crying:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
nope lineage 17.1 is android 10 based.

it's gonna be funny, unlike xiaomi they actually merge the monthly security patch within days of release. and with one of the head devs from lineage workin on it we can expect to have some very nice support too.

ill take this occasion to thank the lineage team once again, it's exactly what the mi a2 needed! and once things get going a serious slap on the face for xiaomi and how they handled their android one program!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] jorikello:
One more question - am I right - they build only Android 9, not 10?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] jorikello:
I have error Whoops - this page doesn't exist trying to download Lineage Recovery for mi a2 https://download.lineageos.org/jasmine_sprout Why?:crying:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
builds are still mia. they tried to bring the build servers back last night but not yet ready.

give it a bit longer, what's important is that the a2 is supported, a few more days/weeks for them to restart builds? maybe?

p.s. they hate eta's it will be fixed when it's fixed, unlike xiaomi they are doing this as a hobby on their spare time. xiaomi has 0 excuses for the way they handle the android one program, lineage does: first they dont make money off it, second most of them have actual jobs and work on lineage just on their spare time. that's why it's gonna be soo funny once users start using the official lineage for it and enjoy it far more then the official xiaomi rom.

bookmark that link, it's the only place where you'll find the official lineage rom. be warry of anythng that's not downloaded from the official site.

I don't really feel like its that fast so i was going to just scrap the whole thing but then i was like well i'll let everyone else decide :p

First I just want to give a big thanks to Sogarth for this rom, without him this would not be possible so please thank him before you thank me ;) I have made a vanilla of this rom with cab files for everything that was in the rom. **MOST CAB FILES FOUND HERE WILL NOT WORK WITH OTHER ROMS**

There is also a folder named extra that has some misc. stuff like ringtones…

What did I add?

Well I added .netcf 3.5, mortscript w/auto rotate toggle, disabled signed cert, and has about a 39 sec boot up time (not first boot)

For setting up on first boot: email accounts / connections settings / contacts with ringtones please see this link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=403458

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Sogarth:
Well, no, it wasn't that fast. And then I added a 32 MB pagepool, set my glyph cache to 128 KB (0x0020000), set my font cache, took out a few things I wasn't using, and it's amazing how much faster it works. :D

Yeah, the 32 MB pagepool is probably overkill; I ought to see if a 16 MB pagepool works just as well... but... it's 32 MB! :D

On the other hand, maybe I ought to see if a ramdisk for caching works better instead... :cool:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
:) the ramdisk is a good idea, i tried to use it but would not work for me... maybe im stupid :o
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
what spl do you have
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Sogarth:
I think it might depend on what ramdisk you're using. The one I was thinking about is the temporary ramdisk that you need to reload on every boot - it would be nicer to have a permanent one, but a temporary one can be useful for some of the temp file caching, Internet Explorer or Opera browsing caching, etc.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
not a bad idea ;)

What should I do, flash back to my previous ROM?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] panvita:
I'm using spl 3.5 too.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Irus and Sogarth,

Thank both of you for this wonderful ROM. I've installed it while travelling on the road today, using my SD card, and it installed without any customization loop. Of couse, I'm on spl1.2.

Has anyone with spl1.2 got any customization loop so far? If yes, were you ever on spl3.5 ?

I downloaded the ROM directly into my device as usual without using a PC. I have 141.05 MB of storage memory and 81.43 MB of Program memory available after installation, which is slightly different from Irus' posted number. Wonder if it is because Irus has been on spl3.5 before, hence he has 3.49 MB less memory left than I have.

So far, I've only installed TomTOM7, which loaded very fast. In fact, seems faster than any other ROM. GPS fixed was also exceptionally fast.

Will continue to test and provide feedback. I can say that so far I like every bit of the concepts that goes into the making of this ROM.

Each time when I thought I already have the best ROM, Sogarth and Irus comes around and prove me wrong with even better ROM. Irus' idea of making everything a cab that we can install on our own is brilliant, and will make this ROM the most user customizable ROM ever. I'm thrilled to see things like subDisplay taken away, as I never use it ever. This should free up resources and speed up the device to the maximum extend possible. Of course, Sogarth is going to introduce RAM cache files to even better that soon, and wow, so many good stuffs are coming up from you two. Thank you both once again for this sensational master piece. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] panvita:
I flashed this rom under spl 3.5, and got endless roop of customization. But I was able to flash back to irus ultra lite under spl 3.5. After reading eaglesteve's finding that he succeeded in installation under spl 1.2, I used Cmonex downgrader to directly downgrade to spl 1.2 without going from AP4. After downgraded to spl 1.2, irus ultra lite rom kept loop of customization. I forcibly entered into the tri-color screen by pushing camera bottom and soft reset hole at the same time, and tried to install this Sogarth Base Vanilla Rom under spl 1.2. Now I ended up with the following statement:

Error [244]: Invalid Model ID

Now, I can go no where, no matter I tried flash back to irus ultra lite in spl 1.2, MiChY WWE full version in spl, AP Dual 3.0 in spl 1.2, or AP4, or any rom in spl 3.5, I got the same above statement. My device is bricked. Please help.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
this is not good but your device is not bricked. you need to use cmonex's model ID fix app, click on the link and start reading at post 33 read the rest of that thread to see what problems may have come up and then go back to post 33 and try to fix the model id if you need help ask here or send cmonex a pm she is really nice and will help you if you need it ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387454&page=4

Just for additional information. I am using spl 1.2 and I don't have the customization issues. I use to have spl 3.5 and downgraded a while back when cmonex provided the downgrader.

loop + missing pocket outlook dependencies

Hi Irus, I got into customization loop (7500 and allways on spl 1.2). Seemed not working the soft reset at contacts appearing, but finally seemed to work after I reinserted the sim and softresetted once more at contact appearing.

Now I have an issue with smartwatch from moneytoo not starting (comes up with an error: something like file or assembly name microsoftwindowsmobile pocketoutlook..

publickey.. or one of his dependency not found.

What can it be? This prog needs .NET compact framework 2.0 or 3.5 which should be not needed (integrated?) in WM6 and it worked flawlessy with all of the previous roms I tried.

.. autorotate is magic!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
not sure why the loop keeps happening it has never happen to me. this rom has .netcf 3.5 but the pocketoutlook file is from .netcf 2.0 i think. not sure why it looking for it, i don't have the smartwatch so im not sure how much help i can be. sorry
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
I'm still loving the 0mpp rom, but Im thinking that my ideal rom would be the irus ultra vanilla as its the most stripped down rom I believe there is, with just the gsen features added. For me the auto rotation is a must, I love it!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Kenjari:
Is there away to add the gsen features to irus ultra vanilla? Skyvv GSENSOR doesnt work without the HTC Sensor dll installed right?

If that's the case, looks like MiChY won't have much chance too.:(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Sogarth:
Huh. So it works in SPL 3.5, but not in SPL 1.2? That's kind of a bummer. :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
But why should it work in spl 3.5 but not 1.2? After all, we have so many spl1.2 ROM with those features now. Does'nt seem logical to me. I would have thought that as long as we have enough space (ie take out the unnecessary third party stuff), then anything that could work in spl3.5 would work in spl1.2.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
you misunderstand me, im am talking about my last rom that i put out.... that rom did not have autorotate feature but sogarth's rom works great in spl 1.2 and ap4 worked great in spl1.2(execpt for the data connection thing)

To Irus: Incomplete customization??

Hi again Irus,

it seems many of us have problems with missing elements (see also my previous post).

Is it possible that exiting customization loop with the hard reset in fact didn't complete installation of some .NET 2.0 or 3.5 components?

I can tell you that I cant't either solve this reinstalling .NET 3.5 as it refuses to install.

Is it possible to have customizations additional files as an independent cab to be run?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
the error that both eaglesteve and qun are having are from missing .netcf 2.0 not .netcf 3.5 so im not sure why they are having this problem. as far as the customization loop i have no idea what is causing it i have even heard that a couple of people on spl 1.2 are having this problem, which i myself have never had. as far as missing files go i can say for a fact that all files i took out of the rom are in the addons either as a cab or under the extra folder
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Karmarock:
missing/corrupted .NET components

Hi Irus,

in my previous post I didnt' mean that you had removed some files from the rom which was indeed needed.

I meant that me like it seems also others are missing .NET components from the device and maybe that this is due to the way we exit from the customization loop.

In fact we softreset the device before it has completed to install extra components.

Actually none of my applications which depends on .NET is working and all of them are giving different error messages regarding missing components or dependencies.

I reinstalled .NET 2.0 (while .NET 3.5 refuses to install) with no success, applications still refuse to run.

Now I wonder if it is possible to complete customization also from an already installed ROM without Hardreset (in other word is it possible to put the customisation process which happens after calibrating the screen and setting the date into a separate cab to be installed separately?).

As an option is there any 100% proven way to install without having customization loop? Maybe flashing from SD gives better results?

I would be very sad to abandon this very promising ROM, but as a matter of fact with corrupted .NET components for me it's not usable.

(all of my sentences are in fact pure wondering based on sparse logic that I try to apply unfortunately completely ignoring the mechanic of the flashing process :D)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
well it looks like we narrowed it down to a .net issue. I'm also getting a dependancy error in google navigator which I had never received before, however the program still works.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hey irus, actually I ran a program that was made for netcf 3.5 and I'm getting the same error they posted above. I also have the customization loop and I'm running spl 1.2 downgraded from spl 3.50.

so I don't think these programs are looking for a missing netcf 2.0 file/component/etc.

is possibly that you can cook us an experimental version without the customization and netcf? so we can install it for ourselves and see if it is the customization that is causing this problem?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] touchlasvegas:
im totally down to test an experimental version of the rom if irus is willing to cook one up. I know he has quite a bit on his plate right now though.
