Dear All
I am planning to purchase oppo r7 plus with 4G Rom and 64GB (China Release) and I have some question :
1) Does it work in Saudi Arabia?
2) I can change to any other ROM other than Chinese one.
3) is It a good device .
4) Which is better mate 8 or oppo r7 plus
Thanks
Ali
Dear Ali,
My advise to you is to buy Mate 8 as it has the best CPU in the world which is Kirin 950.
Thanks.

Thank you for reply.
What about if I take oppo r7 plus Chinese release it can work in my country (Saudi Arabia) and if I am not root it i will not have problem
Thanks
Salam Ali,
I think it will work, but if you want to make sure that it will work or not check the "mobile Networks". Rooting the device or not this will not make any issues.
Ali, again my advise to you that don't buy OPPO R7 Plus and go to Mate 8, but if you don't want it you have a lot of devices which are better than R7 Plus such as, Xiaomi Mi 5, ZTE Nubia Z11, and LG G5. You know as for me I will buy Mate 8 from Gitex in Dubai.
Thanks.

I am not sure about you, but I have used many Android devices. From my experience, I have concluded, opensource support is way more important than corporate support. Because, in all my experiences, it is the opensource support that allow my devices to continue to be working and functioning long after the corporate support has stopped. Hence, when I was choosing a new phone, I make sure the phone has AOSP port and opensource community support is well and active. I like Oppo a lot, because their community is very supportive of AOSP. Look at their Project Spectrum for more details. I am a phablet guy, my previous phone was Asus ZenFone6. So going to anything smaller just not what I want, at least for now. Incidentally, after my experience my Asus, I am even more convinced that AOSP is the only way.
Since you are in XDA and looking for advice of which Android phone to get, my suggestion is very simple. You can choose whichever phone you like, as long as it has AOSP port.
Do take note, the CM is available for OppoR7Plus F variant only. So, if you intent to get OppoR7Plus and wants to try CM, then do make sure you get the right phone.

I'm considering on purchasing this phone. I am in the u.s and will be buying it from the oppostyle website. I'm seeing post with r7 plus m and r7 plus f. What's the difference between the two? Other than cm12.1 is supported only for the r7 plus f? On the oppostyle website it doesn't give me the option of which 2 devices I'll be purchasing.

They're currently offering a $50 discount, not the promised $100. Maybe that will change tomorrow.
I heard Xiaomi will be providing MIUI9 update by the start of next year.
So, is there a possibility VoLTE support will be added to mi4i with the update?
Don't expect anything from useless Xiaomi.
I'd suggest don't buy Xiaomi product in future.

I have always bought mi / redmi phones due to availability of good specs in lower price range. AFA MIUI is concerned. I had wiped Redmi 1S , Redmi Note 4G and Redmi4i without booting in MIUI for a single time.
Unboxed. flash and boot recovery. Flash stable CM.
Lucky patcher, Titamium and Xposed bundle had made these phones bearable. and Most importantly the developers who have made God tier. custom ROMs.
Hello,
I want to buy a bq Aquaris X5 because of lineage OS support and 5 inch display... but I can't find a corresponding forum. Did I miss something? Is it a good idea to by it in order to have lpnger lineage OS support?
Thanks for help
I have received my bq x5 plus today, and I have seen that the back camera is only 12 Mpixels, and the front one 6 Mpixels, istead of 16 and 8 as per the specifications into the website...
..just wanted to chime in and tell you guys that I am actually planning to buy a BQ device, but will not do so unless there is a LineageOS version working for the U Plus or X5 Plus. I want to have an open source OS running on my phone, so my purchase decision depends on the availablity.

Both devices are now supported officially by LineageOS.
Is it so hard to make the custom 7.0 rom for this model (porting rom from mate 8, 9, P9 etc). I'm not the developer, but i now the basics. I think that is possible. My previous android phones (SE Xperia X10i, Lenovo K900 and K920) had zero official support, but great custom rooms.

OpenKirin team (https://github.com/OpenKirin) has been working on bringing custom roms to HiSi 3630+ devices, but since the P8Max (DAVince) is a niche device, no one was interested in porting.
You can always reach out to them if you're interested in helping out.
Thanks, but niche device means what?

Very few people have the device because of its immense screen size.
Hello : )
recently I've bought this incredibly cheap and neat 5G phone, Oppo A54 5G, which looks like is an upgrade after regular A54 (with snapdragon instead of mediatek chipset).I really need a custom, clean Android install on it as original firmware (ColorOS) sucks a lot. Just wondering, where should I start? It's a third phone in my life I'm thinking to flash, so I don't have much experience in it. As I did some research already, there are no TWRP for this model or even original ROM to patch available. Is it possible to root it and put an custom ROM on it at all? Any help would be really appreciated.
