Anyone here manage to get a third party launcher on the find X? I am so annoyed that, Oppo, like Vivo, made the process just about impossible it seems. On the Vivo NEX, at least you just need to sign up for a vivo account. But on the find X, even with an Oppo account I can't get nova on.

The part in settings where it allows you to pick default launcher is simply grayed out.

Please, only people who have the Find X respond to this. On the Vivo NEX thread I got so tired of people who didn't yet have the phone argue with me that "putting nova on the NEX was possible without an account", all because they were able to do it on like an older Vivo. I am aware that nova runs fine on the Oppo R15 Pro, but on the find X, something is blocking it.

You need to either use the hide lookscreen method with the use of oneplus gestures (to set the gesture to open nova) this method in the forums or you need to remove the original launcher by adb method also in the forums.
Either way you need to use adb
I tried both and I am typing this on my oppo x

If you have the version with the Chinese firmware,read this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fin...stall-t3818165

You can use Nova launcher without it being the default,simply tap the icon to go to it,as you would any other app.
For most,that's not acceptable,so,you're gonna have to choose to live with it as-is,or,follow the steps/links that I posted above.

Definitely not great but thanks for your help.
Lovely phone but oppo need to rethink strategy if they want global success. Vivo have the balance right and customer services respond very quickly.
I will probably not but oppo again due to restrictions.
