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

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.

oreo 8.1 for honor 8??

when we get oreo 8.1 custom rom for honor 8???
...lower budget mobiles like redmi,moto, leeco le max, lenovo etc already got pixel experience rom,,,
when we get for our honor 8 device

The developers are waiting for EMUI 8 to drop out because it will likely bring treble support. This will make it way easier to make ROMs.

Dont compare SD devices with Kirin one. Is much harder to develop a rom for Kirin. So if you want custom roms, go for SD

There is an Oreo discussion there already in our forum. Ask there, it's been discussed already. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/honor-8-oreo-discussion-thread-t3735941

Wait for any custom rom

I wait for any one of custom rom redmi 6. I dont like miui even miui10. Its also not safe. Do u also wait for custom rom?

I reeeeaaaly wait a rom but the helio p22 doesn't help to make custom roms.
It's the Bad side of MTK proc.

have you considered GSI

..... It could be a good solution.... But doesn't seem to be simple.

Do you know which GSI rom could work better on redmi 6? (with camera, fingerprint)
Is the helio p22 a problem to flash one this rom?

mtk you'll never have a new Android version

That's why treble is a good solution.
All phones in 8.1 Can be updated via twrp with GSI roms.

Which vendor zip and system image (A-only or A/B) is best for redmi 6?
I did not find any custom rom oreo for redmi 6.
Xiaomi Qualcomm SoC have many custom rom.

Redmi 6 needs only A Treble roms.
Arm32 (sometimes called ARM)
But problems exist to enable sim working well.
So, for now, no custom rom.

Oppo A54 5G - where to start

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.

Oukitel wp9

Hello all.
I needed a more durable device so I upgraded to the oukitel wp9. Downside to this choice is I can not verify what ROM can be used to update the OS.
I've read oukitel is based on the MIUI platform but can not verify the information.
Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

The OUKITEL WP9 is based on Mediatek chipset Helio P60 and runs Android 11.

All I'm finding for a model usage is the ZTE blade A7. Is there a device you can suggest so I can find a good variety of ROMSz?
Again, thanks in advance
