-As title mentioned, I just bought a new Oneplus 7 Pro today, and it comes with a Hydrogen OS. The thing is, I'm not living in China and I would like to have Gapps working properly.
-I installed the Play Store already, and it can only install small apps, while games that is above 300mb (I guess so, tried with some games), it won't be able to download. -I also tried clearing cache and data, still do not work.
-So the thing is, if I install the Oxygen OS now, will it leaves any traces to the retailer (such as Samsung Knox when user flash Custom Rom into new model phones), because the warranty won't allow me to do so within the first 30 days. And can I switch back to the Hydrogen OS in case I need to bring to the retailer?
tl;dr: I want to install Oxygen OS onto my newly bought Oneplus 7 Pro, will it void warranty or will the retailer know I did so?

Sorry, I can't answer your question regarding Oxygen. However, if your only issue with Hydrogen is Play Store, then maybe you might find Aurora is a suitable workaround? Or even ApkPure as a last resort?

Hi all,
Recently, I bought a phone from china during my vacation.The phone is running on android 2.3. However, it was simply overflowing with chinese apps the I have tried very hard to remove, but somehow since they were preinstalled, I could not do so. Hence, I have decided to reinstall android instead of resetting the phone as the apps come back again when I reset the phone. Hence, my question is, how do I reinstall a fresh android os? And, can I use google apps then?

With great difficulty. These Chinese 'clone-phones' typically have very little, or no, support for them, no documented way of rooting them or obtaining original Android software for them.
Most probably you can't.
But search for you cell type here on XDA, who knows what you find.
So my OnePlus 7 Pro arrived today and I'm having problems with getting Play Store working on my phone. Apparently there already have been google services on my phone, thanks to what I could install gmail or google chrome and use them without problems, however there's no playstore. Before, I used to download google package installer from Chinese app market but this time it shows as if I already had everything installed which is strange.
So I downloaded apk for the playstore from the internet which apparently broke my apps using google play services and had to factory reset phone and I'm not sure how to get it working.
Has anyone dealt with it?
any reason you must use Hydrogen OS? why not update to Oxygen OS?

I'm not sure if I'll be asked to log into my google immediately after reboot. And I wouldn't be able to do it without setting a vpn connection. So I don't want to end up with useless phone till I leave China.
I'm not sure if that google verification or connection at least is needed to correct me if I'm wrong

Hi! I am fighting with this issue for over a week now
You can change Oxygen to Hydrogen Global version to remove Google Services lock
[simply by downloading global version from the OP website and installing it through the local upgrade],
but it comes with the price:
Text Messages are not graphical anymore
No Spam/Advert calls warnings
There's no access to the OP Market which is quite essential if you're living in China
So it seems like there is no way to have everything from the both words in one phone...?
ps: Greetings from GZ

Hi,
I just bought a OP7 (not pro) from JD.com and just realized as well there was no Play store.
Actually I was able to download it from m.apkpure.com and it worked like a charm (of course VPN required). Hope it works for you too.
Cheers,
Hi,
I recently got my OP8T and migrated from OP6. For some reason, some apps were not installed on the OP8T. For instance, "A** Prime Now" cannot be installed on the device. Play Store says app not compatible with device. I was able to install it from APK transferred from my OP6, bypassing the Play Store. I found some similar posts elsewhere regarding this issue, but no solution.
Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6.KB05BA on the device.
Deleted Play Store cache and data already several times, restarted the device, nothing helped. The device is new and set up from the scratch using Google migration tool.
Any ideas what the issue is, and how to resolve?
Regards,
Z.
You need to complain to amazon. Amazon probably didn't include the 8T on their app compatibility list. But now that you have it installed, you should be able to update it normally.
Hi,
I purchased a new phone a Motorola Edge S (hardware SKU XT2125-4), unfortunately it is a China ROM phone which means it didn't come with Google play store. This was side loaded and I am able to install apps from google. But I have SO many issues with this and I am hoping someone has something helpful to actually use this phone
1. When I try to use Google setup a nearby device (to transfer everything over to this phone), it simply can't find my new phone (despite having bluetooth and location on for both phones
2. I can't restore contacts from google drive even though I can connect
3. I downloaded the MAGISK app, however the file browser is unable to install as the app is not allowed. The toggle to trust the app can not be changed.
I am at a loss as to how to actually use this phone as essentially it's useless at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
It is already running Android Version 11
Baseband version M55_HI20_209.334.01.60R NIO_PVT_SUPERSDS_CUST
Kernel Version 4.19.136-perf+
Build Number RRN31.Q1-20-17-6
I can provide any / all other information if needed
If the solution is to root the phone, I'm ok with that too, but see point 3.
I'm in the same situation. Purchased the XT2125 as well. Got the Google stuff working by side loading the play store, services and framework. However, initially, while everything else was working, the contacts wouldn't sync. After a few hours of searching, finally came across an article which said that I also needed to side load an apk called google contacts sync and give it permission. Contacts started syncing after that. Fast forward a couple of days and a system update later, SMS are delivered with really long delays and outbound ones fail. Google maps crashes constantly and navigation just doesn't work. I don't know what to do with this phone now honestly, since I need Google maps navigation on a regular basis. Have tried reinstalling maps, resetting permissions, clearing cache and data but nothing seems to work. And with the SMS delay, I can't sign on our complete transactions on a lot of apps because the SMS usually arrives after such a delay that the code has expired. Feels like such a waste of money this phone even though it's supposed to be great bang for the buck.
I am hopeful that when they release the Moto G100 (same phone actually), that we will be able to flash it with this ROM to make it usable.

Wait it's like that with motorola too
I thought it's only like that with xiaomi
Seems like even with motorola it doesn't come with google apps if it's a china rom
Though it was only with xiaomi where if it's a china rom it doesn't come with any google apps guess im wrong

Yeah, I think it's being released in a couple of days. Anyway, I did a factory reset and the maps issues sorted out. Had to go through the pain of sideloading google again but the device is being shown as google play certified, but yeah, would be nice to just have the international rom on it.
Were you able to make any headway with your device? I didn't put a sim in mine but the rest of it seems to be working ok, except Youtube Vanced isn't signing in with a google account.
Hello
I did pick an Oneplus 8T on Prime Day, its still sealed and
last 3 Days i collect some Informations about Android / OxygenOS and about Custom Roms and Debloat Stuff.
I had an Samsung Galaxy S2 as my Daily Driver , at this time Android was really Bad
in the end i Root and used Cynagon with Android 6? idk anymore.
since those Days i used Apple Devices as my Daily Driver, i try some breaks from the Apple ecosystem with an P30 Pro and S10+ ( for an Month ) but switched back to iOS cuz Privacy issues.
And this is the Reason why i start the Thread "Privacy" is important for me.
So how is the Privacy and influence from Google to Track and Spy at you if u:
1. Create a New Account
2. Turn everything OFF u can
3. Dont use Google APP´s / Services ( Not that hard .. if coming from Apple )
4. Debloat with ADB
and using maybe only the Google Playstore.
Thanks for any helpfull comments
Lineage OS is officially supported on the 8t, for privacy i'd flash that and not use gapps. You can get your bootloader unlocked easily and be off the to races
Or just use oos and debloat all of Google apps with xxxnolimits magisk ROM
You can use Android without creating a Google account. You can also disable pretty much every app.
You do need a Google account to use the Play store. So if you want to install apps without an account, just download APKs from the internet.
Just curious, what kind of information do you not want to share with Google? Or Apple for that matter?
