OPPO Rx17 Neo, Custom ROM possible? - General Questions and Answers

Good day,
I have been the proud owner of an Oppo Rx17 neo since 2 days ago. Hardware wise it's pretty stunning for the pricetag. Software is a disaster. The one thing i canmot stomach is no taskbar notifications. This is a dealbreaking issue for me, however i am not allowed to return the phone because of it.
I cannot find anything about this particular model about custom Roms on google or XDA.
Forgive me if i do not approach this the right way, this is my first post on this forum.
Please help.
Thanks in advance!

I had an Oppo Rx17 neo too.
Most of the notched phones had the same issue with the notification bar.
Best alternative I find is using a third party solution, in my case I'm using Nhead. With it, notifications will pop up as a bubble.
I agree with you, it's an excellent hardware, but Color OS ruins the experience.
Maybe we can start a massive request to Oppo ?

Hi Ramping,
Thanks for the reply! I have had multiple notched phones (P20,Honor play,Honor 10) and they all had status bar notifications. I just cant onderstand that they decided tot het rid of it after ColorOS 3.2. I tried to return the phone today, but they wouldn't take it back since the package is already opened.
I wouldn't mind doing a request to Oppo about it. However i'm afraid that it would fall on deaf Mans ears.

Hi! I have an Rx17 Neo too, and i'm wondering if you've got your question answered, because i'm interested on rooting and maybe installing a custom rom to my phone. I asked on a telegram group and they told me that if there is a custom bootloader for this phone, the chance to develop a custom rom is there.

follow up news ?

I Agree to start a massive request to Oppo. Pls, let us know if/how you want to proceed.
Alternatively, is a custom ROM available and is it the answer to install another Android and UI release ?Thanks for any element of response.
ps: Have an Oppo RX17 Neo, purchased in France. The hw is fine but the OS interface is a total nightmare : user experience is such a regression ; app sorting inexistant ; app folders not customizable, oppo contacts syncing does not merge/reconcile with ggl contacts, etc.

[Q] Lollipop on HTC one mini M4?

Hello guys and fell xda members,
New to site, but will get straight to point on post -
just picked up a HTC one mini m4 (tmo), currently has stock 4.4.2. My quetion is -
would it be unwise/a waste of time to put lollipop on the phone?
I want to note that I am no where near veteran, or even experienced, status - on the in's and out's, or pedantics, of flashing/rooting etc.
Which, in turn, is why I made this post - for feedback. I have flashed, and rooted phones before - but do want to make sure I am not diving into something totally idiotic, only want to start with what could be a stupid question/post/idea.....
Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback/opinions/advice. Critique is allowed.

At the moment just a few Lollipop roms are available for your device and many users reported that they get no signal / network connection with them. I don't have a m4 to test but I suppose its worth to wait until other users report that the basic features work as long as you're not interested in adventures.

You can do it in a few ways.....
1.st.... if you have custom recovery, reflash a new rom! Done, your phone is clean!
2.nd.... if you don't have a custom recovery, you can use SP Flash Tool, and flash a custom recovey, then flash the rom, or, if you find a suitable rom online, you can directly flash it with SP Flash Tool.
3.rd.... if you don't wanna bother yourself with flashing.....then, here is a quick fix....
Install Titanium Backup Pro version
Enter Titanium Backup and find Time Service and Monkey Test
Freeze them
The buggers won't cause other issues
Hope this helped
Good Luck
Eureka!!!

Normal way of doing things on xda is sharing a fix if you have it, especially that you have such a wonderful track record here.
Why don't you guys ask for a raise from Tim Cook, so that you can polish a little (actually a lot) your trolling skills, so that perhaps one or two people can take you seriously for a change? And remember: never say 'i got a virus on our Android device' because it gives you up right there. Oh, and try to open a sleeper account instead of one which is 1 day old, this way you'll have more credibility. Cheers.

I don't even know what raise are you talking about ? I'm not trolling. I had this virus in my tablet and I also asked on some other forums but what I got is that I have to flash my device which I could not so I went into deep and with collection of information from here and different places I managed to remove it without flashing.
And as for sharing a fix I will definitely share it. Actually I'm not good in steps writing but I will definitely will try to write as how I did.
Please Help

Looks like a nasty virus according to the Norton community.

yes i need ur help too much. plz tell me how to remove them on my email- [email protected]
You may want ro take your email off the pubilc forum post unless you are just.looking to increase your spam by 10000 fold at the very least change the format i.e .com = dot com
I am with Optimupro on this. It seems very questionable when someone or a few with all new accounts have an issue and then rather than posting the fix say email or pm me like they want to keep it a secert or its to special to post? Gives the grandious impression. Froma practical sense, why you a.person rather type it out or c&p it over and over for.each corispondance they recieve and require the person to wait for it to be on their schedule rather.than just post it in the forum its associated with?? Sorry but that just strikes any seasoned forum users anywhere as odd and raises a caution flag. Its much more nirmal and frankly polite courtious forum manners to post fixes to problems openly so all that search can find it long after you are no longer on this site?
Not saying there is trolling but it sure raises a flag given the kinds of posts that have been trollings in the past on all sorts of forums. But I try to error.on the side of hoping its just an oversite or ignorance to how things are done on oopen knowledge sharing forums such as xda is.

[Completed] (Unbranded device) Seeking root info. Possibly an Alps M8?

Greetings again forum.
I haven't been around the forum for a while since my old ass HTC touch pro days lol. But you all seem to be the end all/beat all resource for information on rooting devices. I've rooted a number of devices with help from the tutorials posted here.
Here's my issue. My wife just recieved a new phone for a present for her birthday. Her dad bought it off the "WISH" app on his tablet. From what I can tell this app is for cheap asses who wanna try and get a deal. Here's the problem. It is an unbranded phone. It says M8 under the model number yet there is no HTC branding anywhere. This seemed fishy to me so I started looking things up. Turns out he thought he was ordering a HTC M8 according to the description but ended up with this hunk of Chinese crap. It's not even a clone of anything, to the best I can tell.
I am familiar with clones and Chinese knock offs etc. I actually have an iclone. Here's what I was able to find during my research. It's sold on aliexpress which is known to rip people off. However this device is fairly decent. I can forward the link in a PM if need be. Not sure why it thinks I'm a new user I've been a member for over 8 years lol.
The information on the alixpress site is as shady as it gets. The description says quad core, but the info below says dual core. There are other errors but that's not what I'm here to discuss.
I've attached screenshots of the about page. It should have all the relevant info that someone more familiar than myself would need. Ideally if I can root what's on it with an app or a free one click root, that would be awesome.
If not I am ok with putting clockwork mod recovery on it, if there's a guide on how to. And/or cyanogen or another rooted rom that's compatible with this handset.
If anything more is needed to help me, just post up. I'm more than willing to do what needs to be done to solve this conundrum.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thank you for using xda assist
You can try posting here and check if someone knows something about the device you have
hope someone can help you out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259645
Well I've managed to figure it out by googling all the numbers and letters from the build etc.
As it seems the actual hardware is irrelevant, the software build is what triggered results on Google. It lead me to the name of the rom build and it turns out that it's not really a complicated rom. Seems these Chinese knock off artists took the lazy way out and stuck a vanilla rom on this thing cobbled together with accompanying adware laden software. I wouldn't wish this thing on anyone.. The phone is confirmed as an ALPS M8 with a MTK6580 chipset. Here's what I have done since the post.
Uninstalled the ad riddled software they preloaded onto it.
Removed all the camouflaged affiliate "Google" and "yahoo" bookmarks they preloaded. Buncha sneaky bastards had it running through clickserve ad services.
loaded up king root and it worked like a champ.
Loaded titanium backup, finished removing the rest of the ad revenue crap they cooked into the rom.
It's clean, and the version of King root that worked was the latest as of this date.
Thank you for the referral though, this can be marked as solved. Hopefully it'll add the tag "ALPS M8" to the index so search can find this post. Hope it helps someone else.

Palm pvg100 questions

I am seeking an app that would make the power button also the volume button. I have come across several apps that make the volume button turn into the power button but none for the power. Also does anyone know where to get a replacement sim card tray for the PVG100 or if a sim tray from another device would work in it. Thanks
Hi guys!
I think I found the source code/bootloader for the PVG100. After a whole lot of digging, I now have this .zip from the founder himself, and it is for the original 2018 firmware, not with any of the updates. I'll attach it below.
I am definitely a novice tinkerer, not a developer. I don't have any of the skills or tools to make a custom ROM, though I very much want one to remove the bloatware and enable hotspot tethering etc. Stormskeeker, could you please post whatever you have managed to find so far, or explain how you have been able to tweak it?
I also have a couple of these that are inoperable for various reasons that I have thoroughly dissected. So if anyone needs to buy any of my spare parts, or wants to just know more about the Palm's guts, then hit me up!
This is SUCH a rad little phone. Biggest complaint by far is battery life, and I would LOVE if someone help me figure out how to power this phone with a bigger battery. I found a Oneplus battery has the same connector, but it won't work when I connect it (unless it's plugged in to a wall adapter)... does this have something to do with the firmware not accepting a different battery? Does Anyone know how I can get around this??

Questions about how to root this device are relevant, but you didn't ask about that in your previous post, did you? No, you didnt, you asked an irrelevant question about the SIM tray that has nothing to do with XDA or what we do here.
My point is, this forum is about android software development and Windows mobile software development. Given that fact, questions posted here in this Palm pvg 100 thread should be questions about Palm pvg 100 software. Your question is about your device's manufacturer and their practices concerning the SIM tray issue. That question is irrelevant here at XDA because it has absolutely nothing to do with android, android software development, Windows mobile, Windows mobile development or the software on your Palm pvg 100.
Sure, your question is related to the Palm pvg 100, but that doesn't mean anything.
If this were an automobile repair forum, the question you posted would be like going to an automotive repair forum to ask why Toyota has stopped making a certain part or making that part available to the public. How would the people in the forum know why Toyota is doing that? They, wouldn't, Toyota would. What could the people in that forum actually do about the availability of that part? Absolutely nothing. So why waste your time asking them if they don't know and can't do anything about it? Do you see my point now?
If you want to know if there is a known rooting method for your device, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"
If that doesn't find anything, there is not a known rooting method for that device. If you find nothing, you'll have to experiment for yourself to find working method.
If searching doesn't find anything specific, you'll have to try the various universal rooting programs on PC or the various android rooting apps, try all of them that you can possibly find.
If the universal rooting programs or apps don't work, you can try finding a copy of your stock firmware, then extract the boot.img from the firmware then use Magisk on PC to patch the boot.img then flash that boot.img on your device then install the Magisk Manager app on your device. But, if your bootloader is locked, you will not be able to flash the patched boot.img.
If you want to know how to flash your device, do a google search for:
"How to flash stock firmware (your model number)"
Or
"Return to stock (your model number)"
That should find guides for flashing your device.
Notice that the Google searches are simple and to the point,
"How to (the thing you're looking for) (your model number)"
It isn't difficult to use Google to find answers, you just have to keep your search terms simple and direct.

XDA itself is not involved in which devices do or don't get support or custom development.
It is up to the community of members, it is the members that figure out rooting methods and it is members that create the custom developments that are available here. It isn't like XDA has a team of people that are tasked with developing for every single android device model that is created/sold.
Devices that do not have known rooting methods or have no custom development of any kind are due to several reasons, such as:
1) there are not enough users in the community that own the device
2) the device has no stock firmware available and/or does not have a stock source code that is available to the public. Without these, custom ROMs can not be created.
3) there are no users or developers with the experience or skills to create custom software that own the device. Developers only build for devices they personally own and real developers don't buy cheap, off-brand, unpopular devices. If someone here owned a device like yours and had the skills to build ROMs, there would probably already be ROMs for your device.
If your device does not have a stock firmware that is available and has no stock source code available and you do not have the necessary developer skills, you are out of luck when it comes to customizing your device or ever seeing custom development for your device.
If your stock source code was available, you could have tried paying a developer to develop ROMs your device, but it would have required you buying another device like yours and sending that device to the developer so they could use it for testing what they build before releasing their development to the community here.
If you really want to blame someone, blame yourself for buying a device that no developer would ever care about working with.
If you want to be able to customize a device, here is some advice.
1) don't buy cheap, low end, off brand, unpopular devices, it doesn't have to be an expensive flagship device, there are some decent mid-range devices that receive custom development.
2) don't buy a device that does not have stock firmware available and/or has no stock source code available.
3) you are going about it all wrong, don't go buy a device and then come here looking to see if anything is available here for the device. Come here first and see what devices have available development here and what those developments are and use that information to choose which device to go buy and THEN go buy the device.
So, you see, there is a lot more to the story than just.....

XDA itself is not involved in which devices do or don't get support or custom development.
It is up to the community of members, it is the members that figure out rooting methods and it is members that create the custom developments that are available here. It isn't like XDA has a team of people that are tasked with developing for every single android device model that is created/sold.
Devices that do not have known rooting methods or have no custom development of any kind are due to several reasons, such as:
1) there are not enough users in the community that own the device
2) the device has no stock firmware available and/or does not have a stock source code that is available to the public. Without these, custom ROMs can not be created.
3) there are no users or developers with the experience or skills to create custom software that own the device. Developers only build for devices they personally own and real developers don't buy cheap, off-brand, unpopular devices. If someone here owned a device like yours and had the skills to build ROMs, there would probably already be ROMs for your device.

Thanks for the Info
but wich Phone a buy a surely i dont need XDA or Ask about if they have open Codes or Stock Roms:highfive:
this Palm Phone PVG -100 is realy Unic in the hole Marked , because iz small (xtrem and has hightech from today) 8 Core Snap Dr.. alot Ram and iz
incredible Fast . And my Question for Rooting a sutch device iz more about that you can remove some Provider Bloatware. etc.
how said we will see what will come on the Comunity for this Device

Whether or not the stock firmware and stock source code is available or not is absolutely essential to building custom ROMs.
Ok, have it your way then. Continue wasting your time and money on devices that will probably never have anything posted here to root or modify them.
As I said, not all devices get rooting methods and custom development posted here, only the ones owned by people who had the experience to root the device and/or build custom ROMs, they find a rooting method for their device themselves then post the method here or they create custom development for their device themselves then post it here.
You don't understand how things actually work here or where the information posted here actually comes from. It comes from users just like you and I that figure it out for themselves if nothing is here and then post it here for others. There is no way to know which devices will gain root until AFTER it has already been figured out, we can not know BEFORE. We can not look into the future and predict when or if "this" or "that" device will have a rooting method discovered, it can't be done, so there is no point in asking "When will this device have root?" because an answer to that question does not exist.
No one knows which devices will receive development or rooting methods. That depends on who buys one of the devices and if they decide to modify the device, if they have the knowledge to do so.
You will just have to wait and see.
In my honest opinion, that device will probably never have anything useful posted here. I can go ahead and tell you that device is, more than likely, not popular enough to receive support here at XDA.
If you feel like you would like to try and learn how to root the device and learn how to develop custom ROMs and such, by all means, go ahead. You will probably gain root and have custom development for your device sooner if you just do it yourself. Your only other option is to wait to see if someone else figures something out that works on your device, which isn't very likely to happen any time soon. It doesn't matter how cool the device is or what the specs are, if no one with experience buys the device, it doesn't get support in this community.
By the way, depending on the security measures that have been implemented in your devices stock firmware, adb can be used to remove bloatware without root.
Do a Google search for:
"Remove bloatware without root"
You'll find lots of information about using adb to remove bloatware.
Good luck

You can disable (for all) or "uninstall" for the current user most the bloatware. A few things are tied to receiving SMS but you can read about the ones you can safely remove in the battery life thread I created. That thread assumes you're not too bothered about automatic updates as they are pushed by verizon.
www (i.e. google) also works for replacement SIM tray for Palm PVG 100. js.

Yes you can somone disactivate but not all. But on this Verizon PVG-100 the Bloat ware iz not tu mutch.
We are still working on a root solution. We have a temp root, but can't get into the bootloader.
DEXXO said:
Thanks for Information all you said about Google etc. I Tryed but for this Model iz Xtream Difficult
y even not will find a Stock Firmware to Download lmah crazy
In My Opinion Samsung Devices are the best Phones and most open about for Rooting and Flashing Roms.
for the nem Palm PVG 100 Devices i also not finding something or how someone has tryed to Root or Flash
a think it will be possible trough SP Flash or something .
Will see, but Anyway i have Realy to Say Thanks to the XDA Devolpers Comunitys for dont let Obsolete so many Phones thrugh
Custom Roms . my Sam. P1000 still runs alot of Apps ho this devices was never Supportet with the Stock Rom
the Best is espacialy for the S4mini iz incredible wha the guys from ASOP Team has done . Oreo on a S4 mini and in a realy Fast Way !
so with this also Thanks to this Guys ho realy thinks in a right decision for All Devices. I am realy not a fan of Updates and New Api,s for Apps
because in this was alot of Phones and more will get faster obsolete etc. Thats why realy Thanks for all this Devs. for the nice Roms.

....dude...whatever you're trying to ask or trying to do, I can guarantee that this is NOT the forum to do it in. Please don't post on this site anymore unless you have done your research into the topic first, by reading what others have posted, and what info is available for your device. Posting is primarily for discussion and contribution. If everyone just posts any random questions they have without even googling it first, then the threads become completely flooded and then unhelpful for those who are actually trying to discuss something.
And fyi, we are still working on a root solution. We have a temp root, but can't get into the bootloader.

Questions about the Palm PVG-100 so if you can handle it fine :good: and Rooting iz not the only problem
where you can find a Sim Tray Replace for this phone. (YES A GOOGLET IT ) so if you can helph with this fine too
If the phone hasn’t a permanent root yet, does that mean no apks can be extracted from it?
I’m looking to try and figure out how to get the palm launcher on my own device, but I don’t see anyone’s who ported it or extracted it as of yet, and I’d hate to ask someone to try if I know they aren’t able to.

As long as you do it while the device is rooted, you shouldn't have a problem.

Thank you, got it on my device!
For anyone trying this themselves, I had to decompile the app, modify the manifest and remove the sharedUserId, and recompile and resign to get it to install. Then I had to give it secure settings permissions via root so it wouldn't crash.
Since my phone is larger and a has a QHD display, the apps were a bit small and it didn't fit well. Changing DPI did not fix, the launcher seems to only look at resolution, not DPI. So, I then changed the resolution of my device to match the Palm and decreased my dpi to make other apps still usable. Not sure what the default palm DPI and text size are, but I found a happy medium for me.
Only issue is for some reason the google search bar up top doesn't appear on the home screen but I can still click the area and get to search, not sure why, but works well otherwise. The left pane on the home screen is also black but I don't know what's supposed to go there. Probably some other dependency I don't know about. Widget pane on the right works though.
Overall pleased, thanks again!
Edit: got it to work perfectly by setting is as a privileged app and turning off dark mode. Left side pane is google now page, and top search bar now appears properly.
Hello, Is there a way to edit the APN. It seems to be locked.

[BOUNTY] Call to Action for a stable, full featured ZTE Nubia Red Magic 3 ROM

This is my attempt to get knowledge developers to create a ROM for our devices that gives us all the features we should have/expect. It is clear that Nubia cares more about their native Chinese market than their newly acquired GLOBAL market.
CyanogenMod, Lineage and custom AOSP are known to work on ZTE devices.
I pledge $10 to whoever creates an English ROM that we can flash with custom recovery/TWRP.
Fingers crossed.

I would pay 5$.
This is just a suggestion. It's better if we collect donation for a new red magic 3 and donate that phone to willing developer. Donations for the rom is also nice but the phone is main factor.

Agree 100%...I have a dev who created lineage for the mimix3 willing to make a rom, if he gets a device. We can probably get a used one on swappa for $300. I'm in for $25
I would like to donate too. But i have a rm3s. There would be some difference no
I'll donate $10. Maybe more.
Quick question, aside from the UI and the 4G enhanced features from the chinese version, what other features are missing from the global rom that it was suppose to have?

Great. I have filed for a return of device due to poor after sales for me so far. If things get sorted and i happen to keep the device I'll donate ₹500 for our device too
This weekend I'm going to start work on a RM3 ROM. Y RM3S is my daily driver so until I can grab another one I'll just be doing the RM3. Been making a list of things I wanna seen in it. Progress won't be the fastest since I'm also working on hardware mods for the RM3 but when I get everything set up I'll post up everything. Probably won't be until after the holiday. No cash or donations. This is just something that over a month of use I decided that I want these things to improve the phone so just decided to do it my self.
Also looking to explore an alternative intelligence mode for the fan control for those who replaced the stock 4 wire fan with a 3 wire so it will restore automatic control. And another $28 digikey order was placed today for another fan to pull the coils off to mod the stock fan controler. Lots of work going on for me with this phone.

i really apreciate that you are taking this up brother.
I ain't doing anything else and I decided to make the RM3s my daily driver and figured since there were no ROMs I would atleast port one. Then just started making a list of stuff I wanna see in it so I have some direction. But I'm going finish up some hardware mods first before I go to software.

Thanks, I'm back in if I ever get my phone booting.
I got a working restore for the RM3S but I'm sick of this kid every single topic posting acting like it's not his fault and people owe him a tool.
Well I decided the the EDL programmer I have the RM3S will not be uploaded. Works great too
So I started getting everything organized. Carrier aggregation is going to be one of the first things I'll be putting into the first build as well as trying to get some better camera processing. Basically put stuff in that should be there but for some reason it was overlooked. Also diving into the led control app and going to add some more stuff to that.. example I want the strip to not only have more rgb effects that are better but be able to show multiple notifications on it. After seeing how I was diving into the hardware Nubia is sending me another 3S and dock in support.
So currently I have all the RM accessories and a RM3 256gb, 1 256gb RM3S and another on the way. So hardware wise I got enough to work with and keep a phone as my daily and one as my dev phone.

Thanks, appreciate it. I really don't understand. Sure im a pita, but why not help me? Idk about you, but $500 is ALOT of money for me. I apologize, if you think its not.
Put me down for $50. Is this for RedMagic3? Or RedMagic3s? If it is 3s, I'm in for $50.

I have both. First in going to do a ROM for the RM3S. I really don't plan on doing one for the RM3 but who knows.
Mainly I'm going to do a ROM with stuff I want then just upload it. I think stuff that I want most people will also want but I'm not going to stray to far off the idea for the ROM I have already.
I got 2 RM3s's. One just got in today that Nubia sent me. So I'll have a dedicated phone for dev. It won't be extremely fast since I work full time and I'm still mainly focused on hardware mods for the 3/s but after I finish that up ill have more time to focus on a ROM.
