Hi all, was just putting this out there to ask if any of the XDA faithful have been able to successfully root an Oppo R11? I don't need to go into details about how bad the ColorOs is, so you get where I'm coming from
I've read a fair bit since receiving the phone (Gift) about being able to root older models from the work by Wuxianlin and others.
Is it safe to assume the older methods of rooting the Oppo phone wont work for the R11?
Details are below of the model (Australia) etc
Model # - CPH1707
ColorOS version - v3.1
Android version - 7.1.1
Build # - CPH1707EX_11_A.06
Cheers guys, appreciate any help or guidance

The ColorOS is by far and away the worst experience I've ever had on a phone.... it boggles the mind how they thought this was a good android alternative. The phone is great but really unusable for me at this stage.

Can you please go into detail, I've never rooted and Android device, as I've never needed to. I'm coming from a BlackBerry PRIV, which I used for many years, and I came dependant on the keyboard (BlackBerry PRIV onscreen keyboard). This is all good, as you can download a Blackberry manager and install the keyboard, however, the keyboard doesn't appear when you tap into message, email, you name it. Sometimes you'll have to tap 4 or 5 times before it'll appear. And it's got all the permissions in the world.
Now I'm here, hoping I can install a stock android version. Is this at all possible? Any help would be much appreciated.

In the same boat.... for me ColorOS is almost unuseable as I struggle to get the font size and colour that works for my eyes... and it's very non customisable. I am playing around with Themer (Play store download) and it looks better but so far not a final solution
Hi,
Not even two months after device was released, it seems that the Support page for the Gobal devices is closed !
When I click on the "Support" on the redmagic.gg homepage, I am taken to a new page that says : "This support site doesn't exist anymore"...
That looks really promising !
So to sum it up :
- Specs announced : brilliant ;
- Global ROM : disaster ;
- Updates to expect : none => the ones given do no apply to the end ;
- Since 2 days no more ability to transfer files over USB ;
- Support site closed...
This device is a pure waste of money.
As a lawyer I'll ask them where they are located and I'll sue them unless they give back support or refund.
Regards.
Wow, i hope This is just a "fail" with the Support Center. If not i will refund also. Could You give us Information what You do now?
Sadly im over the 14 Days..
But is There another way to get refund?
"Oops! This help centre no longer exists
The company you're looking for is no longer using our help centre. We suggest reaching out to them directly via their official website."
I suppose they are switching the support centre, which is a good thing, since support was a joke .
Regarding the global rom being a disaster, the updates not coming ( I just received one ) or the usb not working ( it does for me ) I disagree with you.

Hi,
Sorry, but it is not.
They're talking about their support MAIL server.
What happens when you click on "Support" on the redmagic.gg page ?
For me it's : "Sorry, this support service is not available anymore".
Regards.
When I click the support icon it opens my facebook messenger...

Hi,
Here is the thing for me (my own point of view).
The Global ROM lacks a lot of features you may expect from such a device.
Among other things :
- working dark mode ;
- gesture navigation ;
- always on display ;
- immersive mode (the one here just displays 3 lines in Chinese...) ;
- app lock / persistent apps in Recents ;
- front LED control...
I think all those can be considered as "must-have".
And funny thing is, Chinese ROM has some of them...
Some of the features can be added by installing apps from the Play Store, but most of those require a rooted device.
But if the device is rooted, it seems you won't be able to apply the updates
Speaking of updates : there has been one update.
But if I lok at the changelog, it seems they're focusing on... I could not really determine on what.
But certainly not on adding the missing features everyone is complaining about in the threads here.
But OK, we've had one update... How many others will we get ? And will they gring us the missing features ?
I could do with just ONE addition : the App-lock in recents to make the app persistent.
Of course, you can consider that the ROM is superb : a stripped bare AOSP that allows you to customise to your likings, with 0 bloatware and 0 uneccessary features.
I agree about the USB cable... It stopped working for some reason yesterday. It reworks now. What happened ? That will remain a mystery...
Then about support :
- did you ask them one question ?
- if so, did you get an answer ?
- how long did it take to get an answer ?
- can you access the support page from the official webpage (redmagic.gg) ?
- can you download the Europe/UK version of the ROM ?
I am sorry to say that I am not confident at all that we may have regular updates. And ZTE's reputation in the area is a hard one
Regards.
I would love to have proper dark mode on my phone.
Also, official AOD would be nice, as the AOD apps from the store can't compare with the official AOD of my previous phone ( Samsung S10+ ).
Locking an app in recent is a normal thing, I don't know why it's missing.
Support, as I said, is inexistent. I sent a couple of questions to them and realised from the answer they haven't even undestood me ( probably using Google translate eng - chinese ).
Weirdly, apart from these issues, I love the phone, its build quality, its speed...
And receiving 1 update in 1 month of ownership is something...

Hi,
Well, all I have mentioned except the locking app in Recents can be added if your phone is unlocked and rooted.
There's even an AOD Theme for Substratum, and it looks like it doesn't eat up too much battery as the apps from the app store do...
But there is one problem doint things this way.
Most of the apps used need to be enabled in "Accessibility" settings.
So if you can't pin the apps in Recents, deleting all recents just disables all those from accessibility.
So you may loose the dark mode from substratum... but you also may loose any navigation ability !
To be honest : if they could add the app lock in recents (that already is there in the Chinese ROM), I could live with all the limitations...
Good for us : it has 8GB RAM, so even with a lot of apps listed in Recents we're go short on memory.
Regards.

You can easily fix your problem
You have to install your app as system app
System apps won't die or close when you kill them in recent app
You can download application called "link2sd"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
You must have root access
Open the application and press and hold on any application you want and press convert to system app
And then reboot
Your application won't die at all and the accessibility menu wont rest
Hi,
Thanks for your advice...
I've tried it and.... IT WORKS !!!!
I think I can now use this device exactly as I want... and will NOT send it back

@NexusPenguin,
By reading all your posts,it seems that you're quite frustrated about your purchase,and I'm sorry to see you're so dissapointed...
But this device is primary aimed for gamers,and @ this price point,Nubia had to make concessions.....
TBH,for getting all bells and whistless,people should buy a REAL flagship,not a -500$ phone and then expect the same behavior of it as a +1000$ machine.........

Hi @roadworker,
Sorry, but I do not understand what you're saying.
I am not complaining about the hardware, but about the software.
And what I am asking about does really not seem extraodinary to me !
Navigation gestures ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?
Lock apps in recent ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?
Immersive mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not. It is even expected in the Global ROM. But what do we have ? 2 lines of chinese...
Working dark mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => it is there but is not working.
A support page that actually shows up on the website ? Is taht extravagant ? I think not. It used to be there... Now it is gone.
I think those features SHOULD BE INCLUDED ESPECIALLY IN A GAMING PHONE...
Gestures to hide navigation bar ; theming of phone to make is "cooler gamer" ; locking gaming apps so they launch more quickly ?
So your argument is not relevant at all to me...
Regards.

Hi,
Will try that. If that works, that is super cool
Regards.
EDIT : done it. It seems it is working : thanks so much... Love for the phone beginning to come back... Even better : rooted phone + stripped AOSP = customize exactly as you wish it.
A lawyer should know better
If your a lawyer, I feel sorry for your clients...
There should be an established process with your bank to reverse a charge and a consumer protection agency for you to be able to return a product.
However, Red Magic have stated via Twitter and Blog that they have lost their Support system. That is a bad thing, and probably shouldn't happen to a big company but they have said it has.
https://global.redmagic.gg/blogs/news/update-on-support-07-01-support-is-back-up
If you raise a new call on the system you would probably get a better response. I would imagine they also lost self service and probably have not realised it is still down.

Something like that.
With deep process clean on I wasn't receiving any WhatsApp or Outlook notifications.
For those who are not happy with the bare Android experience and for example,about the lack of gestures and immersive mode,check out the apps of Manuel Wrage @ Google Play......
Despite numerous requests for adding a forum for Redmi Note 11 4G(spes) device, this website has continuously ignored the requests for the same stating "not much discussed", "not much user interest", etc.
So, please vote it out here for one last time to show how much of a user base need a forum for Redmi Note 11 4G(spes)
Okay, 9 votes till now and all say "YES" a forum is needed.
Now, how does one decide how many votes needed to open a forum?!

So, nine votes from 11+ million XDA accounts. At least in my (democratic) country such a poll or party wouldn't make it into the smallest community parliament but I can ensure you that such a democratic petition would be at least filed by the administration. And even if I relax that to probably 15,000 - 20,000 members seen on XDA today (I didn't check the exact number) it wouldn't void my statement.
However, we might have another issue here: XDA-Developers is NOT a democracy but a privately owned website that is run by the guidances, policies and intentions of its owners and who have implemented the XDA constitution, the so-called XDA Forum Rules!
Personally I've no insight into the conditions when the admistrators create specific device fora in closest coordination with the site owners but my XDA search shows me that obviously never a development related thread for your subject device or just tutoriaks have been created although fora for this respect are available:
Miscellaneous Android Development
For ROMs, kernels, tools and scripts only (devices that do not have a forum on XDA)
forum.xda-developers.com
Android General
Android root tutorials, one-click root tools, ROMs and other Android modifications can be found in this forum for devices without a dedicated device forum
forum.xda-developers.com
Despite the lack of development threads for your device, there's certainly another chance to get a forum for it. I suggest to get in contact with your OEM and to convince them to a respective cooperation with XDA.
My esteemed team mate @TNSMANI has already closed one of your duplicate threads. Although commisioned by the above linked forum constitution (or rules) I've so far refrained from a deletion of your repeating duplicate or your demanding posts. Allow me to suggest that you review the XDA constitution, which you agreed to adhere to when you registered about 3 1/2 years ago, with special emphasis on article 2.3 and article 5. Thanks for your cooperation!
Pending on how this event continues I reserve the right to also remove earlier posts by you.

In My Experience if the Daily Use It's Okay (PE+ Slim which is without google apps cones with very few apps incl google phone, contacts, messages, chrome and PlayStore) but if some Specifics Game i.e. Drift Spirits (Japanese Version) not responds and Camera App Gcam Ported Latest Version 8.4.6 when i setting something wrong also (not responded) so i download OnePlus Camera Ported by AyraHikary version which is less not responded (Slow Motion and Watermark (Still takes photos) )
One Disadvantage: No Fast Charger Mode and After install i have to setting like some guides
1 - Enable Double tap to wake
Go to settings >phh trebble tree > xiaomi features > Enable D2W
2 - Bluetooth audio fix
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> misc features > Force Disable A2DP Offload and then restart phone..done
3 - Fix call audio
Settings > phh treble settings > Qualcomn feature > tick mark use alternat audio policy and disable soundvolume effect
4 - 90Hz enable
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> misc features > Force FPS > 90
5 - VoLte enable
Go to Settings> phh trebble tree> IMS features > Enable IMS network and force enable 4G calling....install 2nd option of IMS apk for qualcomn vendor...wait for download..then install it
and That's it. (After i re-unlock without 7 Days Period Noted: i tested on My Redmi Note 11 Spes) p.s. i installed with Fastboot mode by some guides https://mitanyan98.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/03/19/183132 (before reading please use google translate to english)

Man this bureaucracy is killing me.
Every single Redmi Note device is popular, there's no reason to not have a subforum for it. It's not even that hard to make a new subforum. The Note 11 will be insanely popular because of the 90hz display and superb battery life.
It's not like this is some obscure device from Panasonic or Energizer or some stuff like that.
On GSMArena alone, the Redmi Note 11 (SPES/SPESN) has 20,000 DAILY page visits.
Of course it would greatly help ROM development if we had one unified place for the ROMs and stuff.

you are right
bought the NFC version of this device (codename: spesn). What can I say after a month of use: Screen - very good, battery - excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality (headphones). I'm waiting for the transition to the A12.
Don't be like StackExchange, you're better than that.
This phone was released on February 9, 2022. Today is 25 May 2022, three months and sixteen days later, still nothing. 3 and a half months and the admins or whatever can't take 5 minutes to make a subforum for this great phone.
Good thing there's forums for RN11 Pro+ 5G (peux/veux), RN11 Pro 4G (viva/vida), RN11S 4G (fleur), RN11T; BUT not the damn spes/spesn. Every model BUT the most popular one has a subforum. Even the damn Helio/Dimensity/Mediatek CPU RN11's have subforums... seriously now.
What can we do to get a subforum for spes/spesn? This is the SNAPDRAGON version. So modding is easy.
I can't believe, it could be happened? I had bought Snapdragon version thinking I will find mods easily but till date there's not a forum for device, development is later thing

Just don't take it. And turn off auto updating. If you know you don't want to make the switch, perhaps consider doing a custom rom on 12 and stay up to date with security patches on that. Otherwise, you are going to become more vulnerable over time.
I'm the same. I got caught by google's 'rollback n brick yer phone' stunt.
Just got an email that it's being repaired under warranty. It'll probably come back with 13 installed with my luck.
What I ACTUALLY hate most is 'material you' screwing with my phone color every time I turn around or change wallpaper!
I want a on/off switch for material you...then ok, I'll run whatever...

Thanks. I'm not used to being able to control this, LOL. Samsungs don't let you say no. You either update or enjoy the nag screen forever.
And _that'd_ be why I'll never go back to Samsung....
I don't get the hate for Android 13. The only real difference I noticed was that the settings and edit buttons were moved around on the drop down (when you swipe down).
Anything else must be so minor I didn't notice.

Android 12 is total crap. I am glad they did that honestly. The fpr is usable now and
Is aparently more secure

Yeah, I'm aware of that. But I don't have any reason to go back to Android 12 anyway. It isn't like I'm losing access to something better.
Hello,
Not sure if it's the right place, but I'm getting depressed with my Xiaomi 12 behaviour. Since last update, MIUI global 13.2.4, the phone keeps killing apps, even if I set those with :
- not battery restriction
- auto startup
I tried a factory reset, I unlocked it, rooted it. It keeps killing apps. It's annoying, because I use Vivid and removed the navigation buttons. I let you imagine how I can be stuck sometimes when Vivid is killed. Yet, Vivid is locked... So MIUI regurlaty kills it, and sometimes, it even loses the accessibility autorisation.
How can I know what's killing it ? Obviousily, I'm not in Eco mode, and this behaviour also occurs in performance mode. Everything worked very fine until last update.

Maybe a bug in the rom which is a stable beta.
The ROM is official, it's been deployed in France last week.

And so, Xiaomi has been deploying beta roms on stable channels for a long time.

If it worked before this update, you have the answer.

OTA update for an entire country are with beta ? If so, this is a joke. How can I report this to Xiaomi ?

You are not the only one to have had problems following updates, the solution if it worked before, is to flash the previous rom or to use a Xiaomi EU rom.
Sometimes Xiaomi renames a Stable Beta to stable without fixing anything.

Previous ROM is in Android 12. Downgrading won't be a problem ? Keeps root ? EU Roms seem far behind.

Downgrading requires a clean flash and the root is lost along with your data.
Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
And disable the update.
EDIT:
I use a Xiaomi EU rom on my 12 pro and I have several apps that must remain in the background, works very well.
With a Xiaomi EU rom you will have the certified play store without root and lots of extra options.
This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

Go to this site if you need anything, the updates with beta roms on the stable channel do not date from today, many threads on this subject have been created without change since today the problem persists.
Reporting bugs via Services & Feedback hasn't changed anything either.
Note that since the redesign of their site, important threads have disappeared and even some devices.
As a reminder, it is the moderators of this site who report information, well that's just theory because in practice, nothing happens.
If you want answers from Xiaomi, tell them you want to buy a new phone because that's what they're interested in, selling.
I tell you this because at a certain time, I was active on this site, but some of my posts were deleted because I explained how to solve or work around the problem.
Sometimes by checking the hash of a beta rom and the following stable, it was the same.
The solution is to unlock the bootloader and downgrade or install a Xiaomi EU rom.

I'm kind of relieved that's I'm not the only one with this issue. For sure I dont take a xiaomi anymore. I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture unavailable with 3rd party launcher + this killing app bug, makes me regret not have taken a Samsung S22.
" I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture una aimable with 3rd party launcher"
Xiaomi blocks this function with third-party apps (not new).

Not new, but it's a detail you have trouble knowing before buying. With Vivid Gesture, I was plainly satisfied, but this new bug is really frustrating.
Regarding "Xiaomi EU rom", how well tested is it? Do they have an issue tracker and a list of known bugs?
I've rooted and flashed community ROMs in the past only to find out they are poorly tested / have horrible QA and although superficially they work fine other aspects didn't like Bluetooth, Android Auto or certain camera modes etc.
It has been a while though since I last attempted one, maybe things have moved on since then?
Xiaomi has removed so much of the Google framework that even push notifications isn't working. Take note that the Global ROM is based on the CN variant which is known for aggressive background killing of apps.
In Xiaomi's defense, they are "freeing up" up to 800mb of your internal storage by removing most of Google's API but in the expense of all the issues encountered by Global ROM users.
So if anyone is interested, I'm trying to see if disabling com.miui.powerkeeper works round this issue of background apps being killed in V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM .
I followed this tutorial:
How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com
Will report back if I notice any improvement.
Maybe someone more knowledgable might be able to tell me if there are any downside to disabling this package?
I am suffering the exact same problem with my device since the 13.2.4 update, what i nightmare to use the device since then ! As the other users already reported, it s even killing the alarm app which prevents it to ring ! But it also impacts all app notifications, like whatsapp, outlook, etc. After being killed I don't get the new notifications for those.
I can't believe that they are pushing such an update globally, they are gonna lose a lot of customers which such a poor strategy, as this is not just a "little" bug.
I am interested in the Xiaomi.EU rom, looks like they released one 2 days ago with version number 13.2.6, but I have to investigate if we can install that over our official version on an original EU device, and if it requires a full data wipe or not.

Welcome to XIAOMI.
You can check below the version of the rom proposed for the update, before performing it.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/cupid/
EDIT:
You can either update the rom with the update.bat file included in the Fastboot.zip folder but since it is an A13 version, it is preferable to format the data with the first install.bat file .
Obviously the bootloader must be unlocked.
Also remove the security from the lock screen and restart the system.
Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I just bought the phone, after a week I got that update and it made me completely regret that I bought it. Is there any "clean" way to return to the version of MIUI I bought the phone with?
Would a reset return me to the old version? Since i got almost nothing important in the phone, it wouldnt be a big deal.
