[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ianseer:
First thing first,... I'm Just a noob here, I just did some testing things during my quarantine free time and got many errors with this Red Magic (which as far as I know has no update until now for international user). So, If there's something you guys know more than Me, or if I might do something wrong on my guide here, please correct me...

My goal was to get rid of the touchscreen bugs which still exist on International ROM (Oreo 8.1), but I still want the RGB light feature also...

Do it at your own risk!

Here you go:

ROOT for Omni 9.0 Unofficial by Vache and CN ROM 3.26 you can get it here

This root method I got it from here by member changguangyu on Red Magic 3!

Here you go :

I've tried with Fresh stock CN ROM 3.26 (update from without formating, result always failed for google apps at least for me)

install TWRP from fastboot

Download Magisk Manager (using 7.5.1 (267) when this post created)

Extract your boot.img from your Rom and save it to your download folder (i dunno - already tried to put it in another place, it gave me nothing).

Open Magisk Manager and it will say something like Magisk not Installed

Install it and select and patch the boot file you saved before.

It will create magisk_patched.img and save it to your computer.

Enable developer options > make sure to check (ON)USB debugging and OEM unlock on your device

Open command prompt on Windows: reboot to fastboot command :

adb reboot bootloader

Unlock your device

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX609J

Use command :

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Reboot! and your phone should be rooted now.

Installing GAPPS on CN ROM 3.26 better, and simple method:

with this method, it was much simpler and the result is Google Play can download big files like PUBG Mobile

First, make sure your device is rooted!

Second, make sure twrp are installed (I use the one that came in the same link with omni 9.0 i think)

Third just flash GAPPS get it at Opengapps get it here . I use the pico one...

that's it! everything is smooth at least for me.:cool:

Now for a bit tricky part

Installing GApps (Google Play Services, etc) CN ROM only (I'm using 3.26).

This can be done after you root your device!

Open Magisk and go to the module, search for App Systemizer (Terminal Emulator) by Veez21 and reboot your device.

Download Google Installer (Chinese apps) (got it from this thread ) by Teeemoo

Click the blue-button and install everything until all the checklist is finished! After the install is done, don't open any google or add an account yet!.

Go to settings > App info > search for google calendar sync and everything that smells like google set every permission to yes! even storage! yes, Anything! (At first, I did not allow storage permission for play services, and it gives me an error during contact sync!) (Also you may want to check Settings > Notification Management > Playstore > make it open ).

Search for Termux (terminal emulator) on the internet, download the apk and install it. (I think I remembered it using F-Droid)

open termux use the following command :

su

then

systemize

then choose option

1

listed apps will be shown. choose Google apps at which number you want to systemize (mine started on 10 until 15) so i put

10

enter and then I make it as privilege apps or priv-apps by choosing option number

2

, and then go back to menu

y

--- Choose another google apps until it finished!

After all that, reboot!

Start by opening the play store

And Voila :fingers-crossed::good::laugh::cool:

Tips:

Already tested it, some google features will not work nicely if it's not system apps... My solution is :

Install all google apps that i need after Play Store is installed nicely.

Example for Google Assistant (Saying "Hey Google" hot words) : Force Stop Nubia Share, Nubia Voice

Allow all permission, also go to Settings > Power Management > Application Power Management > Your Apps > Regardless of Control.

After that, Open Termux and systemize the Google Assistant.

After Reboot you will be prompted for "Okay, Google" hotword detection.

Again if someone has better tips, please post it...

I also experience some apps that don't run on the background (Whatsapp for example) - u need to run it first and don't clear from recent sometimes I guess.

I tried to download PUBG Mobile, and it says: can't update blablabla... see common ways to fix the problem (anyone knows how to resolve this issue? - (this problem only for big file i think) )

The Chinese Rom is nice, but it gave me a headache sometimes I already allow permission to some apps, when reopen, it goes back doesn't have permission again.... but after making it as a system (priv-app) from the app systemizer (from magisk and use it with Termux), all goes well.

PS: it will be great if someone can test this too, or make this ROM bloat-free! Thanks :good:

*latest update with CN ROM 3.32 = it works with this method...

UPDATE : CMIIW the 3.32 is so buggy for me, for example : we can't hear anything for ringtone after we changed the ringtone using mp3, and more bugs again... ringtone always getting silent by itself after several hour reboot, the most annoying thing is, fingerprint sometimes working sometimes not!. anyone that use 3.32 please share your experience too please...
