hey smart folks of xdadevelopers,
my father in law does a lot of business in china and was gifted this phone- who then gifted it to replace my dinosaur note 4
It sure is a pretty phone but China has this phone locked up like a prison and it is pretty much unusable out of the box.
I've got no idea what i'm doing, and wanted to check in with you all to see if anything can be done?

I bought oneclickroot in hopes that it would remove all the oppo and Chinese junk, but after working with customer service they said nothing can be done and gave me a refund.

Is there an easy way I can make it function like a basic android phone? or at least make it a usable English phone without all the Chinese bloatware and app restrictions?

I don't know what do You mean exactly with "usable"...I've been using this phone for almost a year And is fine. It's the chinese version too.
You can remove some chinese apps.
And of course You have to download Google play from oppo market...that's pretty much it, once You have Google play You can download everything like a normal phone.
All I hate is no multilanguage (only chinese And English) And that we're still stuck in Android Oreo (shame on You Oppo...)
