Hi everyone,
I got a Dutch Oppo Find X 256GB last friday.
Strangely, there is no theme store available, but when i browse through the system apps, it does show Theme store. Although I can't open it(see screenshot) Does anyone else have this? any solution to downloading/changing themes? I also have no Oppo store, but if i switch region to India for example, i suddenly have the oppo store, but still no theme store.
Also, some have these Iphone X style gesture navigation, but I don't even have that option? Maybe no EU versions have this duo legislation? (see screenshot) Does anyone know how to get it? There are apps but those use accesability service and Oppo decided to make your statusbar orange if you do..:/
Also attached a general screenshot of about phone for the version numbers.
p.s. things like oppo cloud are also unavailable but I didn't intent on using that anyway.

Hi there,
Answering to your question about the theme store:
Am not sure what has happened, but here in Indonesia, that kind of thing happened because we tried to install another theme store apk that isn't compatible with the phone version... The theme store icon on the homescreen somehow dissappear, but the app is still there when you look for it on the system app list...
And we have a solution for this, which are:
Install these apps based on the number
(link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hABakrDiUwl_oJhYpjHi3bKKrR-9rHIR/view?usp=drivesdk), and when you get to number 4, clear data of the theme store, and reboot the phone...
Hopefully these steps works on yours.
For the navigation gesture, am not sure what happened there but I think the last solution for your issues is to go to Oppo Service Center and have them flash your phone...
This will solve both the theme store app and nav gesture issue...
Or you can try to reset your phone to its factory state and see...
Where did you buy it?

Thanks for the reply,
As for the google drive link.. it says google doesn't allow acces to the file due to it not being compliant with their service policy.
As for the flashing.. The thing is there's no Oppo service center nearby, and I don't know if swipe up gestures and such are supported on the EU variants.. as it seems to be left out deliberately.. (Maybe Apple has patented it?) Factory resetting didn't change anything unfortunately.

Or do you want to leave it as it is?
For the nav gesture, maybe you can try the nav gesture app developed by xda dev...

Another link would be nice, i'd like to see if I can get a way to acces Oppo find X themes, as the regular play store doesn't seem to hold any.
Yea I tried that xda dev app, which works but it requires the accesabiltiy service. On normal phones no problem but Oppo insist on making your statusbar flash orange if you use either accesability service or developer options.. pretty stupid, I know. But I haven't found a way around it.

Thanks for the link, apk 1 and 3 give a 'not installed' error. 2 and 4 work.
and it does change something, now i have a 'downloaded themes' section in 'set theme' where before was only the 'system themes'.
However I have no acces to a theme store. Clearing theme store data and rebooting didn't help, neither did uninstalling updates to the theme store and rebooting...

Wow... Drop an email to Oppo CS, see what they say...
This method usually works for us...
There so many version of these...
So which is the best version to get?
I know the china version is not preferred.
Which version comes with the supervooc charger?
Which version has play store built in and has gesture enable?

Yep indeed,
Mine does have supervooc btw(atleast according to the charger and cable), which I find weird since it's not the lambo version and thus only has 1 battery oppose to the two of the lambo.
but no iphone style gestures.. I'm gonna see if I can find a way to get in touch with Oppo
Most annoying is the no theme store, now there's basically no way to ever change themes. (since andromeda+substratum isnt working either)
anyone with the India or the France version can chime in and let us know if they have gesture and supervooc?
I have EU version from france.
I confirm that this version has super vooc and no themes app and gestures.
It seems that is a software related. It must be some reason why oppo removed gestures from settings.

I have India version. It has swipe gestures but not super vooc. I am now confused...is super vooc software or hardware related?
Ok this is super confusing!! Why so many variant??
So far there's:
China version - 128gb, no Google app built in, regular vooc charger. Gesture enabled. Can't change launcher.
Indian version: 256gb. Google app built in. Regular vooc charger. Gesture enabled
UK version: 256gb. Google app built in. Supervooc charger. No gesture.
Lamborghini version - ???? Anyone who have this??
Oppo said that some regions will have super vooc.. EU variants support super vooc. As far as swipe gestures this is sofrware related not hardware. For some reason oppo did this. Maybe oppo removed this fuction for better battery optimizations as super vooc models have smaller battery 3400.
After reading this thread, I think I may buy the cheap Chinese version with play store installed.
Wouldn't the India version be the better version?
Gesture and bigger battery?
Can you just buy the supervooc charger separately?
Can anyone confirm that the UK version has the smaller 3400ma battery?
I'm trying to decide what to buy. And this is all kind of confusing.

China: right as you wrote but no google play ( esasy to install). Just few languages. Battery 3730 mha vooc and gesture. I have this one
Indian: right as you wrote. Google play inside. Global languages. Battery 3730 mha vooc and gesture.
European: it's uk too. Right as you wrote. Google play inside. Global languages. 3400mha supervooc but no gestures.
Lamborghini: same as EU version but more expensive (more beautiful and a lot of stuffs inside the box)
That's all
Supervooc is hardware so you can't have it just with the charger

So this is what they said (loosely translated from Mandarin) :
"To comply with government rules on telecommunication and smart device usage and information handling, we can not provide or develop support for Google Play and associated services. Please understand. We appreciate your love for our devices."
Yayy

It's confirmed that by the next update we will be able to enjoy Google apps. Check here:

Asking them is useless to be honest they wouldn't know. They would tell you to consult with their repair center for further instructions. So i wouldn't take their word. We will be able to install Google services but it will take some time.
Is there an update on this matter?
My ROG phone (CN import) is about to arrive, and not being able to install Google Play Services etc. on it would be a big issue for me. With all my previous chinese phones (Huawei, Smartisan, Vivo NEX, etc) I have been able to somehow work around it through APK's or flashing, but this doesn't seem to work with this ASUS phone, correct?
Can anyone confirm what has been tried and failed?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support and input.

Every Google installer 2 & 3 (chinese & english version) have been tried. Also installing all the required Google apks individually has also been tried, none of them work. A representative from Asus has confirmed that the current software version doesn't support Google services and we will have to wait for the next update which will support Google services as promised. Check my previous post with the links to Asus ROG phone forum there you will find the Asus representative feedback.

Hi all,
Did anyone make any progress on this?
On my end I'm contsantly checking and posting on the official ASUS Zenforums (China), but no luck so far.
I'm getting quite desperate, as this 1000$+ phone is currently rather useless to me.

Patience is a virtue!. I suspect we will be getting Google services working properly with the next major update(Android Pie 9.0). Personally I have migrated from using Google apps and found alternatives.
You could use Nox on your PC, add your Google account to the VM, install your app, extract the apk, copy to your phone, then install the app there.

Mmh, sorry for asking redundant questions, but how would this work?
It seems the issue is that the CN ROG phone doesn't support Google Framework, no APK's have worked so far. Other, none-GF apps run fine.
Would your method somehow cirumvent this issue, and would I be able to install Google Play and its related services on this phone?
Thanks a lot for your time and support.
This would make it so you could just side load the apps.

Actually Google maps(without account login) & translate work fine without Google framework I have them installed on my device.
If you need all Google apps to work on your device there is a way for that but they wouldn't be working directly instead through an Emulator installed on the device. PM me if you need the instructions.
Otherwise if you need a good Google playstore replacement I would recommend "yalp store" & "aptoide" or apk mirror website.

To be honest, if you want to use Google Apps, dont get a CN device. You will save yourself from wasting time, and severe headaches. The model in HKG will support Google Apps out of the box. I am getting mine this weekend. I got a Huawei Tablet from CN, and never again will I get a CN device of any sort.

I will be more than glad if you could please email me the instructions to use ROG CN version with Google Play Store and Apps as you wrote in your post:

I just ordered mine today from Hong Kong and eager to get it in my hands in 3-4 days so I wanted to ask some questions on what others have tried regarding dialers. I want to make and receive calls and SMS.
I see Xiaomi have their the dailer apks available to download. Has anyone tried?
Xiaomi Contacts and dialer 11.0.8.1 APK Download by Xiaomi Inc - APKMirror
Xiaomi Contacts and dialer 11.0.8.1 APK Download by Xiaomi Inc - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

I will try all the latest and previous versions. If it's been tried and doesn't work then I can save some time.

Thanks for the reply. After reading i went off to research basebands and I'm confident it's a software thing, not hardware related.
There are ways to modify the baseband without root but need unlocked bootloader according to some Google searches but they are a little old and for previous versions of android.
Maybe just copy the baseband partition of the Poco F3. Same chip, nearly same specs except for the screen.
Time will tell. Ill have it tomorrow morning.
We'll just an update on the SMS.
It works flawlessly out the box. Just use the Xiaomi messages APK and works a charm. Can send and receive all the messages from the banks.
Going through the notification menu and it's got the dailer and contacts built in already but app not showing on the window. I can't toggle or change the app.
Maybe they will implement calls in am upcoming update.

Have you gotten any luck with the tablet? Does installing google dailer work? I'm looking to get the 5g one imported but not being to make calls is a set-back.

You guys may remember the Nudge feature in Google messages app.
Google Messages' new "nudges" feature goes live for some
Google has started rolling out a new "nudges" feature in Google Message. The feature reminds you to reply to important texts.
www.xda-developers.com
I had this feature available in December but now it seems to have disappeared on my p6.
My other phone running custom ROM still have this feature.
Do you still have this feature available on p6 series?
have u tried to search for "suggest reply reminders" ? it still there but cant find where its linked to

What the heck is wrong with pixel 6 series?
My pixel 2 and Mi A1 have more feature (with same app version, same Google account, and same operator) in messages as well as phone app (for e.g. caller name announcement, wifi calling)
Not sure why things are so messy with p6.
