Hi, writting here desperate as I purchased OnePlus Ace 2 pro this xmas and came in with a cooked Rom Color OS 13.1.1.302 - July 2023 security Patch. Looks like devide does not OTA update itself to Android 14 or further versions from 13.1.1.302 (like 13.1.1.552). Can someone point at or help? I have seen Color OS 14 is available for this device. Thanks

Hola, escribo aquí tras comprar estás Navidades un One Plus Ace 2 pro, vino con una Rom cocinada de Color OS 13.1.1.302 - Parche seguridad Julio 2023. Parece que las actualizaciones OTA no funcionan o funcionaran y el teléfono no se actualizará a Android 14 (Color OS 14) o nisiquiera a la version 13.1.1.552. Alguien puede ayudar? He visto que Color OS 14 ya está disponible en este dispositivo. Gracias
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DIARTOB:
Parece ser que en China ya estan testeando con algunas Custom ROMS, ojala pronto descubramos más sobre este teléfono.

hello I finished updating and rooting my smartphone. I'm looking for a debloat script to get rid of Chinese applications without affecting OTA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kephalos:
guys do you think we will also have ota updates with the oneplus 12R/ace 3 rom? (if avaiable)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
Hello I'm new on this, I have this phone since the 20 of december, does it work well the Color OS 14 version with the script? And then where's the tutorial to do it?

PD: is there an easy way to do a backup before switching?

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
Yes the phone works well with ColorOS14 latest version with debloat script.

I am not sure if it's easy to backup though, what firmware do you currently have on your phone? Aliexpress global?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
Yes, the AliExpress one, also I saw your debloat script and twrp, is there an easy way to install the Chinese ColorOS with the twrp or any tutorial?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
I've seen that there's already an easy way made by OnePlus to do a backup, I post it here in case someone needed to
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
Good find, I might have to start using that since I want to actually use my phone amidst playing around with ROMs so it will be handy to backup and restore between tests.

There is an easy way to install ColorOS, I might have to make another post for it. I can send you a PM with instructions though. I don't really think twrp is good though it might interfere with the OTA updates. Just keep the stock recovery.

Did you want to root your phone or just keep it stock ColorOS with debloat?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfsson74:
Please post the instructions how to install ColorOS (stock with debloat). THNX.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
I'll want to root it to 100% debloat the rom

PD: So if i put the twrp it would interfiere with the updates? I didn't understand so much what you mean, also how do I install magisk without twrp?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
To install Magisk without twrp you just install the Magisk APK onto your phone to get Magisk manager, then you copy the boot_init.img from your firmware flash package to your phone and tell Magisk to install then select file and pick the boot_init.img file.

It puts the Magisk patched version into your Download folder on the phone and you copy that back to the PC and flash it using fastboot.

I can share prepatched files and scripts for this and help with the install of it all, got a few guides half written. I was hoping xda moderators would make a forum for our phone but guess I have to just put them in the Ace 2 forum instead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
We could ask them to make a new one for OnePlus ace 2 PRO.

Antother thing, should I install twrp or only unlock bootloader
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
This doesn't work anymore, sorry for the confusion but that it's because now you have to acces this from settings (at least this happens on the global fake from aliexpress) you have to open: settings then additional settings, backup and reset, back up & migrate, local backup

PD: you'll have to backup the photos and videos separately because it doesn't give the option to backup it (it's easy to do with google photos)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelPecesito:
Dear friend, please publish a post with instructions on how to install ColorOS stock with debloat, there is no information about roms for this phone anywhere and you would be the first. The next thing would be that someone can make the Rom support more languages
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
Do you recommend me to install twrp or not, because I had a Poco X3 NFC before this OnePlus ACE 2 Pro, and it was very easy to install xiaomi.eu with twrp
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedbundymx:
Good friends, is there a tutorial to install the original Ace 2 Pro rom and the steps to follow, please help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
Not yet, I think @Agret is working on it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nziom:
Hello everyone in my old Oppo phone I used to have a native system cleaner that deletes temporary flies and spam junk and cleans my ram (also was an antivirus powered by Avast) is there an equivalent of that to the OnePlus ace 2 pro it's somehow lagging today
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
I have the guide mostly ready - just need to wait for XDA moderator to create a forum for Ace 2 Pro, he said that there is no development thread he can find so I have linked this one hopefully they will make the forum soon otherwise I will just post it in here.

There is two ways to do ColorOS on this phone, with bootloader unlock w/ root or without bootloader unlock/root. Without root you have some things restricted on what you can disable and some google apps don't function properly (Assistant, Auto). Upside to having no root is that your device will pass play protect, don't have to worry about trying to do playintegrity hide.

I found this news article - same CPU as our phone :eek:

The device in your pocket can also be a powerful AI machine.

Imagine if we can AI generate photos right on our phone, would be cool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
But you could post it like the twrp one, they don't let you do that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubilantLizard9:
I bought this phone with ColorOS installed by default. Color OS 13.1 (Android 13).

It has many Chinese apps installed by default, but most of those can be deleted without rooting. The system also has a lot of crappy "cloud" features, but those, seemingly, have switches to turn them off in the settings.

Google Services are provided, and can be activated with a switch in the settings, but I am not sure how good they are, and how to check if they work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubilantLizard9:
I heard that there is an update to Android 14 for Ace 2 Pro.

Is it worth updating first, or is it better to unlock/root first, and then update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
If you want root on your device then you will want to unlock bootloader before installing any updates on your phone, after doing an OTA update you can't get into bootloader anymore to unlock it. Need to use the MSM tool to restore back to the first version of ColorOS that shipped with the phone and do the unlock and then afterwards can update to ColorOS14

If you don't want a rooted device then it is fine to just update to ColorOS14.

Sorry guys it is taking me so long to post my guides on this phone, I will try to do some more work on them on the weekend and get something up on the forum. Most of them haver just been sent to people in PM as WIP things with individual instruction given to them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimbel:
even after updating to coloOS14 you can root it and install TWRP
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
I have a question, to be prepared when you post the guide, do I install twrp or not as you said it's not good for ota updates or something like that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimbel:
Installing TWRP does not affect OTA updates. you just have to do a little manipulation on Majisk before installing them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
TWRP is sort of okay on our phone since you can flash zips through it but you can't fastboot flash anymore if you install it. When you try and reboot into fastbootd it goes into TWRP instead and the sparse images just error out. This is why I recommend to stick with the stock recovery.

Today I filmed a bunch of videos on the process of unlocking the bootloader and transferring to ColorOS14, I just need to edit them a bit and then upload to YouTube.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y3R4X:
And if in the future they make a windows 10 compatible with the ace 2 pro, do I need twrp or not?

PD: thank you for helping the noobs on installing the rom🫶 because the only experience that I have is installing Xiaomi.eu 😅
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DIARTOB:
Have you tried flashing Gapps on your Android, using TWRP? Will it be possible for Android Auto to work without having to install Magisk modules in Color OS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agret:
Sorry I don't have any progress with Android Auto on ColorOS14. I have my custom ColorOS13 which is the latest November build of it. I combined some files between ColorOS13 for our Ace2 Pro phone and OxygenOS13 for Ace 2 and it works really well.

I tried to do the same on ColorOS14 but hit some issues so I need to manually edit the files with Linux to create a better hybrid ROM for ColorOS14.

I'll post my custom ColorOS13 soon, I have the installer script working reliably now. There's no support for OTA though if you download an update it will replace those Ace 2 files with the original Ace 2 Pro Chinese ones so you need to disable auto updates.

I haven't tried flashing gapps with twrp for awhile but from memory it didn't work, there is a version of the gapps converted to a Magisk module that does work to get them working although the version of that on GitHub has old Android13 gapps, I've manually updated the gapps in the zip to be Android14 ones but Android Auto doesn't work with it for some reason. Assistant works so I don't understand why Auto doesn't.

Also the debloat script works kind of okay on stock ColorOS14 without root, I made some video of how to remove the permissions from leftover apps that you can't remove. The only leftover Chinese app in your app drawer is the "App Market" and "Browser" although global search is still on there so you might want to replace the launcher with a third party one. There's a lot of background service stuff the script can't remove though so I still feel better about doing it with root.

You can use the hybrid rom I created from Ace2 nonpro file, it's more updated Android 13 and Auto is working. I'm still working on getting Android Auto to work on ColorOS 14 there has to be something stupid i'm missing that causing it not to work, some extra file from Chinese ROM or missing file. There are soo many little config files scattered everywhere it's difficult to see where OPPO broke this on Chinese ColorOS :(

It's weird that nobody has documented ColorOS more considering how many phones it is on, I guess most people just flash a global firmware instead of trying to customize?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hvHT:
It most likely has to do with the drivers you have installed and it also depends on what cable you used to carry out the process, several colleagues have already done it successfully.

NOTE:

In short, everyone does it under their own responsibility, it happened to me that no one told me how to do it, I took a risk and it worked. It is known that it is not an official method, I attached all that to make the installation easier for them (what I documented in the video is the 2nd time I have done it) I helped other colleagues and it worked. There will be something you haven't done, it also depends on the system you have on your desktop. try one more time.

It was just the same drivers of the video, that is, even the 9008 port came out before, the only thing is that it was from Windows 11.
