My Top 3 ColorOS 12 Customization Features - OPPO Find X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

As I mentioned here before, I was lucky enough to be on the first wave of updates for my FInd X3 Pro, and as promised I'll share more insights with you!
Ok just to clarify, its my personal view based on my own usage. Always happy to see other's opinion aw.
+++++++
When I’ve updated my Find X3 Pro to ColorOS12 Beta Version, I couldn’t wait any longer to get hands-on new customization features. This time there is much more to experience compared to ColorOS 11 launch, so without further ado, I’m going through my personal TOP 3 Customization features on ColorOS 12:
Top 1: Omoji
The feature uses a face capture algorithm to scan around 75 detail points of your face moves to create a sleek personalized emoji. I find that personalized emojis itself are nothing new, we know it from other apps already, but it’s definitely a highlight to send your face mimic in funny ways instead of boring messages. Next to this I tried Omoji as profile pic, on my AOD, and sent it via messenger & nearby share.
Honestly, it's a lot of fun to try out different styles, and save several characters for different types of usage.

Top 2: Wallpaper Based Theme Settings
One of my favorite “customization spots”, the personalization tab, also got an upgrade.
As a key highlight of Android 12 (Material You), ColorOS made its own version of it. Wallpaper color picking allows you to create a color matched theme by picking the colors based on your wallpaper, the system will adopt the whole theme based on your selection.
Spoiler: It’s amazing if you’re into customization and gives you endless options!
Top 3: AOD 2.0
Personally, I still find it pretty satisfying to create kaleidoscope patterns for AOD, and luckily this feature is included in the new AOD 2.0 interface along with a bunch of new custom options. AOD 2.0 allows you to pick your selfie and transform it into a portrait silhouette, or add your personal Omoji to be displayed, both definitely brings that sketchy and unique look to your AOD.
I tried both, and will probably stick with my Omoji option.
These are my personal Top 3 Customization favorites on ColorOS 12.
As you know, there are plenty of more customizations to mention, such as Edge lighting, Fingerprint animation, darkmode setups and so on For those who are on ColorOS 12, what are your top 3?

I think you posted in the wrong forum buddy haha. We don't have coloros 12 on our find x2 pro yet, but when it comes out I'll come back to say my thoughts.

MIHOME app 0.9.5 Beta released!
Any user with Android 4.0 (not MIUI)can have this
Download link: http://bigota.d.miui.com/miuiapp/MiHome_095beta_100_1.apk
Features:
1. MIUI-style, designed for non-MIUI Android 4.0
2. With more than 8000 themes, wallpapers and ringtones!
3. Support for up to 9 screens
Glad to see the official launcher released too, since MIUI is going to release all apks for all ROMs... together with MIUI Music, released a few weeks ago, it's almost a full MIUI experience.
I love MIUI and hope they will release an official Galaxy Note port soon.
Still a bit buggy but very nice. Thanks for the post!

Can'topen the package for some reason. Says error parsing the package plz help.
Thanks

Is it possible to get a GB launcher please?
How come I cant use MIUI v4 themes with this or probaly in a new version i will see it?
OP Updated!
is awesome, put it on an hour or so ago
droid razr - 6.14.79 root
This is pretty cool, I'd like to see it grow further.
* The ability to hide all app icons, even system ones (so we can hide the bloatware our phones come with easily.)
* Ability to theme the Quick Switch bar.
* Support for muting music/video/games/media volume in Quick Switch, not just ringtone/notifications.
* Bug fix for theming of phone and contacts buttons (them currently isn't working for these)
* Bug fix for torch in Quick Switch (currently not working on HTC One X)
* Ability to select which Quick Switch icons appear above the cut, and which after the cut; for example I will seldom if ever use the 'Data' switch, but would like to see the Rotation switch more quickly accessible. Others might prefer something different.
* Many themes have Chinese characters hardcoded into them. That's going to reduce popularity elsewhere in the world. Hopefully hard-coding of characters can be overridden in the future.
* Also finding theme download slow and buggy (says themes are downloading, then doesn't; right now for the last few hours it won't display online themes at all.) Could be a server issue?
Great first start though!

NewsSpot for Google Reader -[R]- 2013-02-01 -[U]- 2012-02-01 -[V]- 3.0

NewsSpot for Google Reader was just released for Windows Phone 8.
This is the Windows Phone 8 update of my app NewsSpot, which is already quite some time available for WP7 (see this thread). Besides the features listed in the other post, NewsSpot for Windows Phone 8 adds the following:
Full lock screen integration with quick and detailed status as well as background image. All updating in the background.
Pin sharp live tiles including the new wide tile style
Fast app resume
New splash screen
All graphics now in high resolution
The usual bug fixes
You can download it here:

I'm looking forward to your feedback!
There is an add-supported version which is restricted to sync max. 200 unread and 50 starred articles, whereas the full version supports up to 1000 unread or starred articles. Additionaly the lock screen background is only available in the full version.
Issue with a live tile.
First of all great app!!! It's FAST and I found the ui is very user friendly. My only gripe right now is the live tile not updating correctly. I setup one group and it is currently saying I have 1000+ unread articles. And putting the live tile into "medium size" actually cuts off the logo. Other than that the app is awesome and is definitely my daily driver for news! Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you to hear like NewsSpot.
Yeah, the 1000+ is actually a limitation by the Google Reader API, since it reports the unread counts only up to this limit. There are ways to get around this limitation, but implementing it is awkward (you have to do one web request for every tile instead of getting all unread counts at once).
The cutoff is intended, as I think knowing the number is more important than seeing the logo Otherwise I would have to move the number or make the font smaller, which somehow breaks the default styling of the tiles.

is there any way for a google reader app to pre-download/fetch the full article so i can read it when i do not have a connection?
Thanks

I get this request indeed more often recently. Technically it should not be that difficult, since all the code is already in place for caching the article previews and their images. I will see what I can do

Any update?
Well, I'm currently involved in two other projects, so the next updates of NewsSpot might need some time to be released. However, I'm sure it will come this year.
Regards
As you will have already noticed, Google is shutting down its Reader service by the 1st of July. However, this does in no way mean NewsSpot will be retired, too. Please read our Statement to see what's next for NewsSpot.
It's been already a while that we released an update, so here are the news:
(WP8 only) Raised limit of number of synced articles to 2.000 for each starred and reading list
(WP8 only) Added share via QR-code
YouTube videos are started without using an external app
Improved sharing via phone services
Long hold an item in the article list to share it
Accelerated switching between articles
(WP8 only) Fixed bug: autosync on start works again
Happy reading!

[APP] The most accurate fitness tracking app for Android Wear!

We are Ken and Houtan, two developers building a personal trainer AI for wearables. Over the past year we've built out tech that can automatically recognize a user's exercises, like bench presses and squats, if they are wearing an Android Wear smart watch. We are launching the beta program for our app, YouMove, and are inviting members of the XDA community to join. We would love your comments and feedback on what we've done and would be thrilled to hear your suggestions on what we should do next!
Apply for the Beta!
We recently added the ability for the app to learn new user exercises, which we are really excited about!
Other features we are currently testing:
- Automatic, passive recognition of weight training, calisthenics and cardio exercises
- Tracking of exercises, reps, sets, resting times, calorie counts, and intensity
- Detailed display of a user's workout in a timeline on watch and phone
We know the XDA community can provide some great feedback on what we've made so far. Thanks everyone!

This looks really cool! I've been tracking my workouts using Google Sheets for a while now, but if this works, I could totally see it replacing that. I'll let you know more of my thoughts after I sign up for the beta and try it out a bit, but I was just wondering if there is a way to see your progress by exercise type in some place on the app. I've always roughly guessed how I've improved over time at, say, bench press, and I know that I can do it now if I really wanted to, but it'd be really cool to have it readily available on the app.
Looks interesting, may take it for a spin!
Where is the link for download? Also:
1. Will you be having only dark color for the app?
2. Does it support Android Wear independently without the need of the phone?
2.1. Does it support the internal GPS of Sony Smartwatch, for instance?

Current it is a closed beta, so once you apply we will send an email with a link.
1. We are switching to a lighter color UI on the phone. Sticking to a dark color on watch to conserve battery life.
2. Yes, it works on the watch independently of the phone.
3. At this point it doesn't support GPS. Right now we are primarily focused on weight training and calisthenics. But when we do hit cardio, we'll make sure to use GPS on the watch.
I'm interested in trying this out. How's progress on the app?
Link not working
I would love to participate but the link is not working
I would like to apply for the beta but the link is not working.
I mostly go sporting/gym 3 times a week.
Can i get a beta because i was searching for this kinda app ?
Thanks !

Post your favorite ZTE Locker Wallpapers here!!!

I am opening this thread to allow everyone to have access to the best ZTE Locker daily collection wallpapers. This is particularly important if like me you forgot to save a favorite wallpaper - they together removed the following day.
To save a wallpaper you just tap on the heart symbol and then move it to the MFVKeyguard folder by saving it as a favorite.
I have attached some of my favorites.

One picture I missed is a picture of the palace from the wallpaper below but from a different perspective. I would appreciate if you could post it!

Hey, I'm sorry if this might be a bit off-topic but since this thread is about ZTE Locker it's probably the best opportunity I'll have to bring this up. (without cluttering up the forum with a new thread)
tl;dr - I suggest some MiFavor UI improvements
So, if you use ZTE Locker that's great and all, but all pics are different.
And in cases such as the one I have attached, the clock is not clearly visible, nor are the icons at the bottom.
And with your launcher, it samples your set wallpaper for a hue and alters the MiFavor QuickSettings background based upon that. But, this can lead to some... questionable results. For example, if I were to set my wallpaper to something that is primarily yellow, ZTE is put in a dilemma.
White on bright yellow isn't really readable, so they'd have to use a darker shade. But have you ever seen dark yellow?
It's one nasty ass color. (look up #888800)
And I know different people have different color tastes, but there's still certain colors and combinations that are considered unfavorable. Yay for color theory!
So, with yellow they'd probably be best off using black text and icons.
But a color like purple is usually thought of as a deep color (though lavender is nice too) so they can stick with the white icons and text.
Ultimately, it's probably best to give the user to decide whether to use the dynamic view or to set their own color manually.
I just feel like ZTE is very new to the UI scene. But, I'm not a fan of ditching MiFavor for completely stock Android. I think ZTE has something to bring to the table. They just need to work on their color sampling and maybe make some UI adjustments based on the user's preferences.
Anyhow, that's my 2 cents
Definitely one of my favorites!
Definitely kept me smiling for the rest of the day

i just found 3 new wallpapers, thank you
I have about 70 of them on my phone
Also, I did a reverse image search on one and found they steal them from other sites.
It seemed like a handful were on a photo of the week thing on usatoday.com but I can't remember
Can anyone upload a compressed (doesn't compress much I know) archive of the ZTE wallpapers? Ever since I unlocked my bootloader it no longer loads for me, it just says weak signal no matter what. I don't know if it's a coincidence and there's something wrong with their server or if it won't allow modified systems to connect.
Here's a few more from yesterday

Fantastic EMUI Features and Where to Find them

The EMUI has evolved for several years and is getting stronger and more user-friendly day-by-day. For heavy smartphone users like me, I know basically every small feature of the system, however, I found some of them particularly useful. Today I’m going to share with you some of the less-noticeable features which help me every day.
The most easy-to-use to-do list
How many of you keep the habit of listing to-dos? For procrastinators like myself, I found it difficult to get things done if I’m without a TDL (“to-do list”). And here is when the to-do of the EMUI Notes app got discovered by me!
I know some of you might wonder, there are tons of TDL apps on the market, why should I use a stock app? I’ll tell you why: easy to use and simple to maintain! You just go to your Notes app, or add a To-dos widget on your screen, and you’re good to go!
The To-dos is very straightforward yet useful enough: just add your to-do and set a timer or a location (or not), and mark the importance (if needed), and it’s done! It’s so fulfilling to cross items off, and feel the happiness of getting things done!
Multi-screen collaboration
When you talk about EMUI’s amazing features, the one feature that cannot be missed is Multi-screen collaboration.
When I’m at work, or when I have a low battery, I don’t want to raise my phone too constantly in case my thoughts are interrupted. Therefore I will enable the [Huawei Share] on my phone, and put it close to my Huawei laptop. And bang! My phone screen will appear on my laptop, and I don’t need to stare at the small phone screen anymore! I can look for files, reply to my messages, and even answer my calls on the PC!
A super cool and super-easy way to manage files
This one is not that different from the second feature. It’s actually included in the "Multi-screen collaboration" feature, but it’s so convenient and useful that I have shared with everyone who uses a Huawei phone and a Huawei laptop: File cooperation!
Just go to your phone storage and find any files which you want to view or edit. You can click it directly and start editing it on your laptop; or, you can just drag it out to a PC folder!
And, don’t worry about the screen-on time will drain out your battery. Once you start operating the phone on your laptop, your phone screen will automatically go dark, saving battery for you!
Ring-tone maker
I don’t know about you guys, but I am a person who simply hates the ringtones which come with the system. No offense to the ringtones and to those who use them, it’s just a habit of me.
If you happen to be one of my kind, you will be truly grateful for this feature: ring-tone maker!
Just download the music you like, and play it with the Huawei Music app, where you can find a small bell icon. Tap on the bell icon, and you are free to define your own ringtone!
I know some other music apps might also support this feature, but those apps sometimes cannot set 2 different ringtones for the 2 SIM cards I have. So in the end, it’s the Huawei Music app’s ring-tone maker that wins my heart!
These are the 4 small lesser-known tricks that I found truly useful for my daily life. If you haven’t tried them out, try it now! I'm also trying all the new features on my recently purchased Mate 40 Pro! If you want to know about EMUI tricks on the new flagship, leave a comment and let me know! See you next time!
