Hi! I've installed it in multirom with a stock 5.0.1 as primary and it works, just tried it for few minutes.
just be sure to have the latest bootolader (HHZ12h) or installation will fail.
Flashing a bootloader
Hi,
I have a Nexus 5 and I use Multirom with it. My default ROM is Lollipop 5.1.1 and a secondary ROM, which I mostly use, is Marshmallow 6.0 (xTraSmooth). I want to install CopperheadOS, but it says when installing, that I must have HHZ12h bootloader in order to install (as stated in a previous post). My current bootloader is HHZ11k. If I install HHZ12h bootloader by flashing a zip file which includes LMY48B_Radio+Bootloader-HHZ12h will it cause anything that prevents Lollipop or Marshmallow to work properly?

You don't need to downgrade the bootloader, just modify the updater script of the rom ( deleting the string containing the bootloader version or replacing with your current version), then it will install just fine.
Can anybody provide link on COPPERHEAD OS ? CHEERS!

Thanks! I haven't tried that yet, but I will. First I thought I can just replace HHZ12h with HHZ11k using text editor, but then I noticed there are guides which suggest that it isn't quite that easy. I might be wrong about that, will see when I have enough time to read up on the subject.

It's easy, just extract the rom, go to Meta-Inf/com/google/android and modify the "updater-script". That's all, rebuild the zip and flash in recovery.
Edit: you can do it without using a PC, by using a file manager on your device.

Just installed it on a Nexus 5x and it works flawless. It has most of the standard stuff but is different from the rest in that it is supposed to be security oriented. That means no default root (but rooting should be possible).
I didn't try to add Google stuff yet and probably won't even try to add that spyware but it does have the F-Droid app store.
There are some extra options to secure the memory if required, and the documentation is (so far) very good (for example the install guide and the technical overview).
Currently running it on my Nexus 5x and N5. works great. Anything you are missing you can find on F-Droid. I find the lack of data usage to be delightful; when facebook or ebaum videos auto load on other software, they are stopped on copperhead. very happy with the security.
The only thing i can not make work is voice to text, and I have a ticket in with copperhead. who cares, I have fast thumbs.
Nexus + Copperhead = Happy Gopher!

Thanks for the feedback. I guess manual apk installation is also possible?
I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 as a backup device, and CopperheadOS seems like something fun to play with, instead of just installing CM13. Can I install TWRP as recovery on devices like the Nexus 5 that don't check for locked bootloaders? Can I run it as basically another ROM –*unlocked developer options, root, TWRP, etc.? I realize the OS exists for enhanced security, but I'd like to make a few tradeoffs.
Unfortunately, you can not run TWRP with copperhead, it wants full control of the phone for security reasons. Its not meant to be a developer OS with access to all the bits, so you kind of need to want a OS in a box that you can deal with.
But I have to say, despite its shortcomings of not having google services, it works pretty much flawless on my 5 and 5x. i miss google maps app, but it works 100% via chromium browser as a favorite, and I have only found 2 apps I can not import via apkmirror, one being Waze, the other is my local public transportation app. other than that, i feel like I'm safe from prying eyes.

Thanks for your response. I'm a fan of CyanogenMod, and I'm not unhappy their security or features, but I wanted to play around with CopperheadOS. I understand the tradeoff between security and convenience, but I'm not willing to sacrifice TWRP in the mix. Oh, well – if I ever have need of an OS solely for its security track record, I know where to go.
It doesn't look to me like Copperhead is supporting the Nexus 5 anymore. Can somebody confirm or is there a link I'm missing somewhere to the ROM?
EDIT: Yep, I knew it was deprecated for a while now but they've even removed the deprecated ROM from the site now. I'd appreciate it if anybody has the last ROM if they could pass it my way.

Switch debugging OFF and don't lock bootloader after CopperheadOS install and u will be able to boot TWRP via
fastboot boot recovery.img [TWRP]
I'm currently experimenting with root privileges on CopperheadOS on Nexus 5X. Still haven’t tried xposed framework.
Security features r quite good, especially different lock code && encryption password and memory protection, but, there is a lack of fine privacy control (Privacy Guard) as in CyanogenMod and firewall, hence the need for root.

I've been using CopperheadOS for a few weeks now on the Nexus5. Received the latests OTA a few days ago and applied without issue.
Installed it via TWRP. Have rooted the device with SuperSU, though have to re-root after re-flashing recovery after each OTA.
It's been working great.
Unfortunately I don't have the img any more

Remove spaces. I'm a new member and can't post links.
I've created a little application, which is able to switch network type (e.g. GSM only, LTE only, EvDo only, etc.) on any android with API 21 (Lollipop 5.0) or higher. I created this app because on some phones (e.g. Huawei devices), you cannot change the network type, even though you've managed to open the network engineering screen.
Please note that this app requires ROOT! Here are some features of this app:
- very small (about 50 kB) :angel:
- material design! :silly:
- no ads!
- ability to change to one of 12 network types supported by android
- on Android API 23 (Marshmallow) or newer, you can also change network type on devices with multiple SIM card slot (this is what I think other apps cannot do )
- able to detect if selected network type is not supported, and will revert back to previous setting if it the device doesn't support selected network type
I've tested this app (and use it on daily basis for about 1 month) on a rooted Huawei P9 Plus dual SIM and a rooted HiSense I46D1G, and so far so good.
Example use case : This app is great for locking to LTE only mode if your carrier gives huge bonuses on 4G data (to avoid falling back to WCDMA and cost you extra ), and locking to WCDMA only mode if you need adequate data speed while retaining the ability to place and receive CS calls and SMSes.

I'm on Xiaomi Mi Max Prime, MIUI 8.0.3 Global stable, marshmallow ROM. I can see the option to change network type for 2 SIM cards, but when i change one, the other one automatically follows. Meaning, whatever i change the sim 1 to, the SIM 2 gets changed as well. Is that supposed to be the logical outworking of your design?

No it doesn't. On marshmallow or higher, it should be able to switch network from those 2 slots independently. However, some OEM or device doesn't support switching it independently. Usually devices that comes with android lollipop or earlier doesn't support independent network switching. But as always, there will be some exceptions. I apologize if it doesn't work.

I've not tested in CM yet, since I don't have a device which has RIL and has CM ROM for it. This app has to negotiate with selinux. I heard that CM has pretty restrictive selinux policy. Maybe you can try to disable selinux by executing"setenforce 0" on a superuser shell. Please note that this disables selinux temporarily until reboot.
when I open the app it show this message.

OK. Judging from the screenshot that you posted earlier, your issue doesn't stem from SELinux, and the app get root access properly. Seems like an issue with nougat API 25. Unfortunately, I don't have a nougat device at the moment . Will investigate the issue after getting a nougat device (or AVD!)
It's good work on my SM-Note 4 N9100 dual SIM(but i just used one),Marshmallow.
Good job,Thx!
Code:
I am not responsible for anything that happens as a result of you using the ROM. Sure, i'm willing to help with bugs, but if you get fired because the Alarm app crashed, gremlins crawl out of your arse, thermonuclear war starts, or if your progress in Clash of Clans gets reset, i'm not the one to blame.
Features
Code:

Stuff you need to actually use this
- Unlocked Bootloader (duh). Seriously, I will ignore you if you mention that you tried to boot this with Safestrap.
- Update TWRP to Android-7.1 builds located here. Please make sure to use the recovery image which is appropriate for your device (Thor or Apollo)
How do I actually install this?
- Backup existing ROM if you want. Or don't. I don't really care, truth be told.
- Wipe /data partition. You can keep media storage if you want, but I prefer to format it to make it SQUEAKY CLEAN
- Flash the .zip
- Do not flash OpenGapps. Or any Gapps. That defeats the purpose of microG.
- Flash any other crap you want. This'll probably Magisk.
- Reboot.

What is there to be confused about? Yes, Google Play Games doesn't work with microG yet. Just don't play with games that mine your data. Problem solved. Or just try to lubricate it with cat piss. I don't care.

Correct - only KitKat based custom ROMs support LTE (data only). FireOS 4.5.x is the best choice for voice and mobile data support.
New zips are out. I just updated microG's GMSCore to one I built myself based on master and a fix PR. Also pulled from latest Lineage 14.1 sources.
Bluetooth issue ? I still use kitkat because i can use bluetoooth. But so boring ..

Likely won't be any different with this ROM as core issue resides at the kernel level. Inconsistent connection behavior leads to erroneous claims based on individual experiences but really not ROM related other than the binary KitKat (Android 4.4.x) or above checkpoint.
Firstly this is an amazing ROM! Well done to you and the team! However, the recent Apollo release is broken. Not sure about the Thor version, i would check but the device I bricked because I was messing around... Anyway it boots successfully but the screen is blank and is still turned on, no boot animation other than the generic grey kindle fire. I can still tap the screen and hear android feedback noises after waiting awhile so it works! Just I cant see anything :laugh: The previous release worked fine, no problems! Maybe you could keep the recent previous releases available for download for backups in case? Thanks again
Edit: Obviously I have the bootloader unlocked etc. Using latest TWRP if that helps at all.

I don't have an apollo, so can you do some debugging for me? ADB into it. It'll ask for authorization on the screen, just guess where the OK button is til it works. Anyways, when you do get adb auth, run this:
Code:
adb shell
logcat > log.txt
exit
adb pull log.txt
, then put the log.txt on pastebin and give me the link
Been trying for about an hour now all i'm getting is feedback noises, is the confirmation dialog being prevented due to the setup process if there is one? Cant seem to get out of it and ADB keeps saying the device is unauthorized. I'll keep trying on the OS and once i get anything i'll update you as soon as i can.

Okay i've got a log file after a few unsuccessful attempts, i'm not sure why the code you gave me did not work but I tried myself using "adb shell adb logcat -d > Lineage14.1.txt" and that seemed to do the trick. (Hopefully this is what you were after).

Yep i'll do that, was it the method that I used to extract the log file that could be the culprit? I should probably mention that you can see the screen when it turns off and on its just a different shade of black indicating that the screen works but it just won't display anything if that makes sense. I'll do a complete wipe and start again to see if its any different this time around.
Edit: Here is the new log: https://paste.ee/p/VK4oS
^^^
I've noticed it is considerably smaller this time around so hopefully this a good sign haha.
It is weird how the previous release worked and this one doesn't, i'd assume it's an application interfering from the latest build but if it works on Thor then it mustn't be right? Maybe something was accidentally changed for the Apollo release somewhere. Sorry if my ramblings aren't useful

I've got the same problem. Loads but no screen and unable to find the "ok" to authorize the device. There must be a better way.

Hello Guys,
So i'm new to Oppo, but an old wolf within these corridors.
I have some questions for you crazy people who bought the Chinese DUAL sim version of the Oppo Find X2 Pro.
I went through all the threads, read them and there are some inconsistent answers. So i will post my questions (feel free to ask me to add more) and will update the orginal post with the answers you will give me - so this helps new comers.
1. Does Google Playstore work?
-Confirmed working
2. Does Google Pay work?
-Confirmed working
3. Does Google assistant work?
-Apparently yes, but the "Hey Google" voice detection apparently is grayed out and doesn't work (Need more confirmation on this also)
- Works with issues or extra application
4. Do Gsuite applications work?
-Normally they should as Oppo is not blacklisted like Huawei and runs GMS. But could someone confirm please.
5. Do third party launchers work (without ADBing "pm" the orignal launcher) ?
- NEED CONFIRMATION - but apparently not
- Confirmed not working
6. Does 5G / 4G work?
Apparently a forum member living in Italy says it works fine, but found that some 5G bands are not present in the Chinese version. Please reply yes or no and on which carrier you are and which country.
- NEED MORE CONFIRMATIONS
7. Does WifiCalling and / or VoLTE work? And if they do /don't please write down your carrier/country
-NEED CONFIRMATION
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
-Still waiting to see if that is possible. Waiting to get confirmation from people who tried / succeeded / failed please
- Waiting on results
9. Can you unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
-Only answers i could find were : yes and no, bootloader not yet unlockable, TWRP working... very confusing.
9. Apparently you can't use an app like Textra or other to replace the Stock SMS app (who uses SMS anyhow, right? but still an interesting point).
-Anyone?
10. Looking for tutorials on how to use MEMStool, QPST, etc... anyone know of any so i can link them here? Coming from Samsung, Oneplus, etc could be handy
- Anyone?
11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications? asked by @yarik88
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions
12. Anything else?
Thanks for your feedback and help.
I can come back to you on the other questions for but for now I bought mine from Wonda. Google Play was pre installed and works fine (I had a P40 Pro before so I know about Play Store not working fully!)
Google Pay works without issue. The app is stable and have used all my cards to pay using NFC.
Google assistant works once when you set it up, then it takes itself out of settings. I use the Google Voice Search app instead (I only use mine to set timers etc). All my other Google apps work fine, maps gmail etc.
4G works fine, I have the option for 5G in the menu but don't have a 5G sim to test. No option in the menu for VoLTE/WIFI calling it seems.
Flashing Global ROM needs more testers
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.

While I've got you here, can you please see if you can install Nova launcher or lawn chair... Just to see if third party launchers work.
Thanks!!!

I think the same with all Chinese rom phones, there isn't an option to set another launcher. Yes you can download them and they appear but once you close an app it reverts back to stock. Just tried and no it doesn't set as home launcher (Lawnchair 2 anyway).
SO only way is to adb and uninstall the orginal launcher...thanks for confirming.

Just a last question, are you willing to test the global ROM on your phone for the community? As all whom tested it , were trying on beta program and couldn't make it happen as stated by Killer007 above.

11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications?
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions.

Blazingly fast phone, with almost unlimited RAM... and they limit autostart to 5.
Bizarre (theres that buzzword again!)
I don't get this thing of autostart... Are you telling me that this phone with 12gb of ram...limits 5 applications? Meaning if you have mail, WhatsApp, telegram, calendar , or other apps you need notifications for you are limited to 5 apps max??!!?
Please elaborate...I'm having a hard time believing this. Seems worst than Huawei's app killer...

ItsIt's very similar to this.
This is Oppo's worst idea. I don't understand how they think in China, forbidding the user to use his phone. Just the thought that there are so many ad notifications from apps to take this step.
You have the "Manage autorun" setting in it on top of the list of trusted applications from installed (I have Instagramm, Skype, Telegramm, Whatsapp, Vk, Facebook) I think there are more, but here OPPO decides which applications to consider trusted.
Apps from this list do not affect the 5 apps limit.
And below is a list of all the other apps installed on your phone. And you can select Only 5 applications that have been autorun.
Notifications from applications that don't have autorun permission come in very badly, usually only when you start the application itself. But sometimes they break through, too, but not always.
For example, a SIGNAL messenger without autorun does not receive call notifications and becomes useless, you can get within an hour notifications that you missed a call.

Now that's devastating to hear. Considering previously mentioned cases it should have allowed you to flash it... I'm speechless and saddened.
May I at least, out of pure misery, ask you which tool did you use to flash the ROM?
That's nuts....

On a side note, I went to a local store to.see the single SIM version, and we looked inside...and there were connectors for 2 SIM cards...so my question now is : if we hack the card, and able to put two sims inside...is there a way to change the system for it to work with 2 Sims...
Other tools for flashing stock firmware

Could you possibly try to use some other way to flash the ROMs? Perhaps one of these: https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-rom-oppo-find-x2/

I tried via recovery the last time using the official EU rom version from oppo's site... I will try these when I get home after work. I believe MSM tool might be the correct route to use from other posts in different threads. :good:

Thank you for your hard work! You deserve some sort of donation at this point.
To save your time, avoid the latest (4th) method (QPST) - files the application requires for flashing are not located in the Oppo's Global ROM.

I believe QFIL won't work either since we only have .ozip to work with..... I will try though. Now if only there was more time in the day to get this done... Of course this couldn't have been something when I had them Corona Days Off.... hahahaha

I guess a lot of people are waiting on you :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Great job for the community. fingers, toes , everything crossed to see if it works.
BUT i still beleive that there is a way to hack the dual sim for single sim international phones, which in a way would be much better.
Hello. I'm "slightly" out of my depth here, unfortunately. The aforementioned app (Chess Tactics Pro) suddenly became "incompatible with my device" and so unavailable in play store, I therefore had to extract the apk file from another phone. In fact, I tried 3 different versions of this app. It installs alright and works to some extent, only when I want to use computer analysis function, it crashes. The crash report reads:

The phone: vayu (Poco X3 Pro), stock rom, rooted with magisk. On another vayu with the same system (MIUI 11.5), unrooted, it works fine, as it does on 2 other phones with lineageos, both rooted, Android 10 and 11 respectively, and still available in play store. What am I missing? Do you have any ideas what I can try? What does the crash report say? Let me add that the app folder contains like 5 .apk files out of which I only installed base.apk . What are the other apks for? I hope someone can help me with this.
IMO the correct method to get the very reason why an app crashes is to do a LOGCAT.
Thanks. I'll look into it but for now I'm rather busy so it'll have to wait a bit.
It seems that a shared library file, liblrengine.so, is missing.
I appreciate your input but can't check if it works right now as in the meantime I've switched to LineageOS, used SAI to move the whole split package from another phone, but it doesn't work either, complaining that google play store might not be installed or sth to this effect. Anyway, I must install Android Studio and learn how to use logcat, cause other apps also give me problems.
Solved for now. Back to MIUI as LineageOS+MindTheGapps combo misses some dependencies apparently, so the app backed up by SAI wouldn't work there but it works fine in MIUI.
