Hi,
I have been using Moto G4 plus before I moved to Redmi note4 & then to Mi A1. As it is an android one project, there are so many features missing. My company policy requires me to install Microsoft intune MDM which requires the device to be OEM locked. Hence I am not able to root my phone to avail the mods. I badly need the fingerprint lock feature. Is there a way I can accomplish this without rooting the phone? Please Help!

I have read that it's easier to make custom ROMs for snapdragon devices now realme 2pro is coming with that..and supports for project treble
LOL! IN YOUR DREAMS BUDDY! xD
Oppo-RealMe = Won't allow you to unlock your bootloader!
Best Specs killed by bad OEM+OS!
For further info check RealMe1 + ReaMe2 xda pages xD

lets hope oppo will allow unlocking bootloader or some expert member of xda find loop whole thn only it can be possible..
There is a option in Realme2pro developer settings called OEM unlock which can be used to unlock bootloader.
Cant we just use Kingoroot or other apps to root the phone and then flash custom recovery using rashr or flashify?

Hello Mate,
You are in the opposite direction.
Kingroot and other such rooting apps only root old devices ( by old I mean devices launched literally 2-3 years back ). Technology has changed now. And also the Android Security and OS integration has changed with time.
New devices now have to have a custom recovery first and then you can root the device through that custom recovery with Magisk OR SuperSU. And to install the custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader.
So going step wise in ascending order it is --> Unlock Bootloader --> Install Custom Recovery --> Flash Root App ( Magisk / SuperSU ) --> Enjoy

Point # 1 : Realme phones do not have a fastboot recovery installed. So there is literally no way to unlock the bootloader without entering fastboot recovery mode ( correct me if I am wrong ).
Point # 2 : Even if there is any way to unlock the bootloader, there is no Official support from Realme for unlocking the bootloader which means you lose the warranty the moment you unlock your bootloader.
Point # 3 : Realme is currently working on their own brand new UI different than Color OS which will take at least Q3 of 2019 so don't expect any Official support.
What we can do :
ALL the Realme users should put up a request to Realme for providing Official bootloader unlocking support just like Xiaomi so that we can all enjoy some cool custom roms or maybe tweak the Color OS as we want. The more the requests the more Realme will listen to us.
A dedicated Realme Official Community Forum is going to start on October 31 where we all can put our requests for providing bootloader unlocking support as well as for changes and bug fixes in the current Color OS. I guess the request for changes in the Color OS UI will only happen in the new Realme UI as they will take suggestions from us that what we want and then apply that in the new Realme UI which they will provide later. Also we know that Realme will still be related to Oppo for at least 1-2 years more so don't expect a BIG difference like a nearly Stock Android type of Realme UI. The new Realme UI will definitely be somewhat like a copy of iOS just like the ColorOS of Oppo and Funtouch of Vivo.
( FYI : Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus are all brother companies who are under 1 single Parent company which is BBK Electronics and even if Realme has now seperated from Oppo, I assume it is still under BBK Electronics, so all these 4 smartphones companies are actually just 1 single company operating with different sub brand name.

I just wanted to try old methods XD. Btw, if u google, a lot of other sites show how to install twrp in realme phones. I didnt try cuz m afraid i will brick my phone. Should I try?

The article says that flashing TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader and links to this article which ultimately says
This article is under development and needs an update. OPPO has high security on their smartphones & needs individual development. This is a newly launched smartphone, therefore, will take some time. I will update the article ASAP

Yes.
It is a clickbait.
Today at the end of 2018 the most popular, trusted, secure and REAL Android development forum is XDA and developers around the globe put forth their Custom ROM development only on XDA.
It is useless, also not safe to trust any private website for any kind of custom Rom. XDA is the only and ultimate place to search for and trust on any custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Bro cudnt find this post on madhav sir's twitter page
Hi Guys,
I have an issue with my realme 2 pro (Color OS 5.2), When i make any application like Mcafee Mobile security as a device manager, it keep giving yellow floating notification for system security risk, I have tried multiple things but it doesn't go. Interestingly, i have other apps also set as DEvice manager but the notification only comes when i make McAfee Antivirus as Device manager. I heard that its a known issue with ColorOS, can anybody suggest any fix for this or facing the same issue?

Hello! Just wanted to know is there a way to install LG G4 native apps like contacts, messages, weather widget etc on my A2Lite? I have got the apk from LG G4, but when I try to install it says cannot install. Any solution? I really like the weather widget and message app of LG G4.
I believe LG apps require LG's special framework, so you wouldn't be able to simply install LG apps on a stock Android device, as the LG UX framework doesn't exist on the device. Also, those apps from the LG G4 are meant for an older version of Android (I believe from Android 5.0 to possibly Android 7.0), therefore the compatibility with Android 9.0 isn't guaranteed.
So, all in all, you cannot run LG stock apps on a non LG device and non LG UX Android OS without extensive porting and recoding in order to ensure the full operation if the app.

Thank you for your reply.
G4 had features like turn phone to silent the call, pic phone to answer etc, can these be added by using Magisk?

I'm not particularly sure about that, I know there were some similar modules for the Xposed Framework, however Xposed is currently not supported by Android 9.0 and by no means should you attempt to install it, as your device will be bricked.
Try searching the web for Magisk Modules, maybe you'll find a list somewhere and hopefully you'll find what you're looking for

Hello, here are many peoples they have more ideas as i.
What do you think, i have write to huawei that they give me an bootloader unlock code.
Why?! The Google Problem what Huawei have now.
They cant give all peoples a waranty for security patches for future. I cant use Anti Virus Software why i dont have root. I need root to save my phone.
Huawei have say that they give us a update for Huawei P20 but now nothing.
With Root we can make our Phone safe self.
What do you think. will Huawei give use Bootloader unlock codes back again ?!
I think no.
i had the same idea i bought my phone on last saturday. And now i try to unlock it to install lineage...
by the way, none will buy a huawai if they cannot use facebook, whatsapp e.g. in the future so give out unlock codes will still open the market for some of us.
Huawei is reportedly working on a new OS that supports Android apps/apks, which means it's probably based on Linux. The US ban shouldn't affect existing phones, you will still receive a few security updates, but no major Android version system updates. With root you could flash custom roms that are updated frequently with security patches. So I'll have to agree, as root opens up so many possibilities. Cheers!

I've tried to unlock using DC-unlocker or HCU but my latest versions (C432B180) is not compatible.
Can I downgrade to a previous version (i.e. B160) using androidhost.ru rom (dload method) and after retry to read the bootloader code?
From which version does dc-unlocker work?
thanks in advance

Google have officially removed face unlock from Android Q - due to a security flaw.
From what I've heard, they're working on something, but it's gone right now
This thread as nothing to do in development forum
Hello!
I'm new to modifying anything on any device.
I'm wondering is it possible to install Lineage OS or any custom OS on Matepad Pro? If so do you have any suitable tutorials for this purpose?
Need I root the device first in order to install custom os?
Cheers
Hi
At the moment the only thing you can do is to install Google Services with googlefier. For this you need to downgrade your MatePad to version 10.1.0.120. After downgrading you can install all the google services.
Googlefier lets you easily install Google apps on Huawei and Honor devices (xda-developers.com)
To install custom Roms you need to unlock the bootloader which not possible for now. I also thought about brute force the unlock code from the bootloader. But sadly, the needed commands aren't available.
MatePad Pro supports Project treble. You possibly can install GSI Roms. But as said above, without unlocking we can't to anything..

After running Googlefier, does Gapps stick if you allow Huawei FW updates?
