F.11 has been pushed to some Indian users and there are reports of various bugs still on the Realme India Community page.

It still doesn't have L1 Widevine support either.

We will just have to wait and see if Europe gets it pushed out today, but I'm not holding my breath for it after what I read in the Telegram group.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
Yes, that's for India. It is a staged rollout in India at the moment, we still know nothing of the plans for Europe.

If you read the full rollout post from Realme then it says they will upload the file to the support website at some point.

I believe the X50 Pro is already on the stable version of UI2.0, but the only files on the support site are the UI1.0 files from December 2020. That tells me that we won't get the opportunity to download the F11 update manually.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
I'd rather wait for it to appear for Europe but if this drags on for months I'll try and login to India using a VPN.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Syal5:
My guess is they pushed this to be able to say they kept their word about making android 11 for the x2 pro available in june.

They'll probably wait to post the downloadable zip in their support page a week or so IF (and only if) no big bugs appear in the build.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
Yeah I agree... I got sick of waiting and picked up a Poco F3 already on Android 11... but, to be honest, I miss the cleaner OS on Realme compared to the dog's breakfast that is MIUI on the Poco... the Real UI isn't as good as Oxygen OS but it's a lot better than Xiaomi's awful idea of what an android skin should be like...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
Doesn't matter, because this is a stable update which will be made available on the India website, and since India and EU variants are the same, you'll be able to download it.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
I hope that's correct... #CrossingFingers
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
As I said earlier, the X50 Pro already has the stable UI2.0 update, the X3 Super Zoom too I believe, have a look on any countries Realme support site and you'll only find the UI1.0 files, not the UI2.0 ones.

Even the Realmeupdater site which indexes all the Realme support downloads isn't showing anything other than UI1.0 files.

That is why I don't expect them to put the UI2.0 files on the Indian support site. Well, that and the fact that I don't believe a word that Realme say.

Another point is that the F11 update is the same one they got in China a few months ago, it is not one that is based on any bug reports that have been made during the reopened beta test in India. That makes me think that they have just rolled it out so they can say they did so in June. Once again, Europe has been ignored.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ste27.jah:
jethey must continue to put pressure on MADHAV, proof that it works, they forced themselves to release a firmware that was still bugged !!! all alone I am nothing sent him messages, BUT ALL together it's not the same !!! because they hate that we come posted on Tweeter because it is a good point of support for their sale !!! moreover they are very happy to say that these sales in europe have exploded. but I told him that all this will not last because if everyone finds it in the same case that we, people will not buy anymore! well all that to say that they do not need anything there let go guys
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ste27.jah:
who received this famous firmware RMX1931EX_11.C.38? We can already predict that this **** will be for us, just to make us patient a little more
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
If anything, C38 will be the June security update, but I really don't think we will get anything from Realme.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ste27.jah:
je styloI think like you unfortunately, but that she regrets having bought this. I would have bought the one plus 7 which was a little more expensive but not with all these problems! Finally I got rolled 1 Times but not 2 a never either.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
I got and returned the OP7. I liked the OS, not the device. I really liked the x2 pro but not the support...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
Just to illustrate my point that we won't be able to download this manually, here is the Chinese support page for all devices.

The X2 Pro is on version F12 in China and you will see that it is not available to download. Same for the X50 Pro and X3 Super Zoom which are also running UI2.0.

We will only get UI2.0 when it is pushed, we will not be able to install it manually. The only way to install it manually will be if you can find a .zip file of it and then you will need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery. At this moment there isn't a way to relock your bootloader safely and you will therefore fail Safety Net meaning you won't be able to use Google Pay or your banking apps.

Here in the UK there is a £45 limit on contactless transactions using your bank card, with Google Pay there is no limit. With the Covid-19 pandemic going on I am not willing to lose Google Pay.

Realme are too busy releasing new devices and it is clear that they don't have enough developers to keep up. Also note, the F11 contains June's security patches so European devices will be vulnerable until Realme decide to push the update to us.

It is not just X2 Pro owners in Europe who are being messed about, they also missed the June deadline for X7 and X7 Pro.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
There's only one problem here, safety net DOESN'T break just because you unlocked the bootloader. I had unlocked bootloader without root since the first day I got the phone, and safety net was fine. Later in RUI 1.0 even with root (Magisk) there were no issues with safety net.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
I've read that unlocking the bootloader fails hardware attestation now and trips Safety Net as part of Google's new security process.

Are you saying that the Realme doesn't do this and you are still able to install and use Google Pay and banking apps after unlocking the bootloader?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
Yes I am. I did read about some people having issues, but for me works fine in RUI 1.0.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
I'm not prepared to risk it, but thanks for answering my query.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
It's more likely been a user error of some sort, but yeah I can't guarantee you'll have the same success as I did. Realme is so damn weird.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinchox17:
do you think that the Galaxy S20 FE is better than the x2 pro?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jederalke:
Well, yeah? Anything will be better than this style of providing support, even if it means getting a phone with badly optimized SoC
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hrvoje007:
C.38 update live on indian website 😏
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
That's a positive ... If it's not bug filled.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
C.38 via Realme update site.

It contains the June security patches, it is not the Android 11 update.

Call me cynical, but that would indicate to me that we won't be getting UI2.0 anytime soon because F11 contains the June security patches. Giving us this is just an attempt to make sure there is no problem with vulnerabilities.

The 2 to 3 months wait that I was told in the Telegram group is looking like it is the truth.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
What version of Android 10 were you on before you were upgraded? I'm currently on RMX1931EX_11_C.37. I have heard some talk of a C.38 revision but I've never received it to date. I wonder if I can just go to Android 11/Realme UI v2 from C.37 if/when it finally becomes available to download in the UK?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixNLx:
You can download and install c38 from:

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
It wouldn't surprise me if they are serving the update from an FTP server running on an old PC in someone's bedroom.

They really are the worst tech company I've ever had the misfortune to buy anything from.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hrvoje007:
They need to make sure there are no critical bugs, that is why only some users get update and most of us dont
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
That would be acceptable... If this conversation was 6 months ago. This has taken far too long and, much as I have been pleasantly surprised by this phone, I would think very carefully before considering another from Realme based on how they have handled the upgrade path to Android 11. It's been really really slow and more than a little frustrating to watch.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixNLx:
Exactly this. Even considered to unlock the phone and install a custom rom. But lineageos is not supported, so im not feeling to good on that... And i have to install everything again...

Next time im buying a Samsung i think. Good long lasting update policy.

How can I fix widevine L3 with android 11? ( F11 version)
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
You can't unfortunately, you'll have to wait for Realme to fix it either via a software update (good luck with that) or by returning it to a service centre.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
I've got sick of waiting so thought I'd install POSP instead. Turns out I can't unlock the bootloader so I can install a custom recovery. The In Depth testing app just reboots the phone, it doesn't go into fastboot. Even trying it via adb doesn't work. The software on this phone is the jankiest pile of crap.

I'll wait until the benchmarks on the Pixel 6 come out and then invest in one if they are good enough for gaming. Potentially 5 years of updates are being offered by Google on the new models.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xsam123:

C.38 solved a mild but annoying battery drain I had on C.37

Now my phone behaviour is pretty good and that made me think about updating to this struggled RUI 2.0. I was really hyped a few months ago, but now, not so sure anymore.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dooderooni:
What are people's opinions of the F11 update then?

The Indian community site is full of issues including the latest which seems to be the loss of system apps like the file manager and the settings app.

Needless to say, it hasn't hit me in the UK yet.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
I got it & I'm in the UK. TBH I've barely used the X2 Pro in months but I plan to make it my main phone again and give my son the Poco F3 I bought on a punt, as I really REALLY do not like the way MIUI on Xiaomi phones works. For all the issues with updates Realme UI/Color OS is a lot less fussy and issue-laden in my personal experience.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Igoruss:
I'm using it for a day now but I havent notice any bugs so far. All apps are in place.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
Back on the X2 Pro with Android 11. So far so good. I'm not sure what's changed??
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralphaverbuch:
OK, so I've discoverd a few things I like... more granular control of the colours used and icon shapes on the Realme UI 2.0 Android 11 menus. That's similar to what Oxygen OS does. I think the camera app has been improved too. One issue though is that in upgrading to F.11 my previous install of the GCAM APK has died. I cannot even launch it. It's disappeared!

Q. Is anyone else running a version of GCAM successfully on the F.11 update? If yes, which one?

As I use Nova Launcher I really only experience the changes underneath if I go looking for them in settings, but I did find this post by realme on some of the most significant changes to Realme UI 2.0 https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1410176510991552512

Two days with F.11 installed. I noticed improved system responsiveness, feels smooth and faster. Sightly faster battery drain (maybe due to update, I hope it stabilizes on a few days). After the update I lost Google phone app, but I reinstalled it from Play Store and works OK. I haven't experienced major bugs, I recommend to update.
