Chinese ROM: no notification icons on status bar , no Google match

[Suriv83]

Hi all, I've recently bought a Reno 10x in China and I've several issues with that color OS : ROM PCCM00_11_A 18_96c98aa7
1) no notification icons on the status bar ; I've tried everything , but it seems that in my ROM there isn't the sub menu "notification prompt mode"
also I've no numbers notification on the dot on the app icon.
Basically it impossible for me to see if I've have new message on WhatsApp for example, of course I've notification on the screen look menu , but since I use every day the fingerprint sensor I never see the screen look.
2) isn't possible to configure Google assistant and more over the phone is blocking the automatic voice match ( I've a ROM with BREENO as assistant) :-0
3) Whit Google maps is impossible tho share my location with my friends (color is apparently is blocking )
4) problems with exchange:
I had no app for mail by default so Installed Gmail : ok it's work , but calendar and tasks from exchange are not showing!! So it's impossible for me to work!

No way , it's a mess ....
Could someone help me ? Do I need to install a "real" global ROOM?
How can I do?

Many thanks !

I've got the same problem with the notifications. Someone a solution?

The background notification problem can easily be fixed.

Working for me. Used adb with some help. Now it's working good. Am happy with it.

I know how to use adb, deinstalled athena successfully, but notifications still doesn't show up on statusbar..

Global Rom/ India Rom also has athena apk and no problem with that apk and notifications so i think problem is with something else in china Rom.

Can we flash global/indian rom?

For the application, you must also give all permissions, autorun and notification settings. It starts to work not immediately, it was about 5-10 minutes for me, but after all the notifications come right away.

Did all of this, but still no icons on statusbar.

Oppo Reno status bar fix

The background notification problem can easily be fixed.

Hi, can you tell me more how to do the tweak on Oppo Reno so to get icon notifications on status bar? Like explain every step as I am quite "green" with that stuff... Thanks

At this point there is no way to get notifications on the status bar. I have the same problem and am trying to return the phone because I already wasted too much time trying to fix this along with all the other problems:

tl;dr; DO NOT buy the Chinese rom version!

- Notifications are all disabled by default. You have to enable them individually for every single app, and most apps have multiple notification types that each need to be separately enabled.
- The process for enabling notification for an app includes changing notification settings, power settings, startup settings, and locking the app in recents, for every single app.
- Only 5 apps can be enabled to receive notifications (startup options).
- Can't change the default SMS app, it will revert back when you receive a message.
- Can't change the default launcher without removing the coloros launcher through adb.
- Swipe gesture will not work if you do remove the default launcher.
- Nova launcher badge permission gets reset so you no longer see notifications.
- There is no way to flash the global rom.

How do people actually use this phone?

Hi, I see... For me besides the lack of icons on status bar the phone seems good as I don't plan to change launcher or rom. ( I know bit boring, but I've faced the same issue with Vivo)

But guys have have you heard of Xiaomi Mi 9 global version has the same problem with status bar icons and they came up with an app that's available on Play Store: Notch Test. And it worked well. I tested it myself. Can we do it with Oppo??? I mean can someone do such app for Oppo Reno?

This is common issue for phone selling in China.

If want China brand phone, must get global edition instead of China edition. This apply to Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. I not sure on Huawei, maybe also same.

Yes avoid oppo Chinese version
Awful app restriction

Does the global version work as normal with notifications?
Thinking about buying 5g version.

Quite Simple. Install Adb... Then write

Adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.athena


And boom all the notifications will start working. App won't be killed in the background.

Can't believe that, as it didn't work on my side, and International version also has com.coloros.athena...
