Hello folks,
So i've recently bought realmeone recently primarily due to its hardware. Am not a big fan of color os tbh and in my limited research found some stuff from the internet
First, the bad bit :
Now the good bit :
Realme1 is project treble ready.
Root and twrp and custom roms are only possible once we have a working way to unlock the phone. And with the issues like messed up multi tasking atleast on the 3gb variant (which i have by the way) it becomes all the more important to have a good custom rom scene to fall back to if color os becomes too unbearable.
I'd assume anyone whose come looking for realmone here on xda, like me, would want to see some dev support for this awesome device. So I am hoping all you folks would take some time and mail oppo at [email protected] asking to make the device's boot loader unlockable.
For those of us who are laziest here's a draft that you can copy paste but i urge people who have time to make their own mail body so that every mail wont look same
We've also have whatsapp and telegram group for realme1 running to better co ordinate these things and help each other out, find links below:
PS : If anyone knows any other mail id to contact them, feel free to point out I'll add that too here.

First, the bad bit :
- Realme1's twin brother oppo F7 still has no way of unlocking bootloader.
- Oppo seems to have disabled (deleted?) fastboot binaries.
- Expecting GPL compliance from mediatek SOC is asking a bit too much.
Now the good bit :
Realme1 is project treble ready.
- We've had examples treble doing wonders for even obscure mediatek devices like this one.

Dear oppo,
First of all, as a user of realmeone, thanks for this great value for money smartphone. Many of us power users in the realmeone community would love to have the option to unlock the boot loader so as to be able to root the device. Rooting is essential to some of us who've been used to some nifty root tools like system wide ad blocker etc. We hope oppo will help us exploit full potential of its hardware by allowing boot loader unlock at the earliest.
Thanks
