I purchased my phone something like 2 Month ago.
I purchased by mistake the Chinese version and I only noticed that when I got the phone.
Since I was waiting a long time to the phone I didn't want to return it and I thought I can get used to it.
But after two months with it I think Im gonna go crazy:crying:
I don't have Google assistant the third party launcher is not fully functional (after I forced to manually remove the system launcher) And the massaging app Is stupid and don't support third party apps I mean WTF????

Please , does somebody has/know where to get international ROM for download?:D

I don't think so.
This days you have the xiaomi mi mix 3 witch is for my opinion much better than oppo find X and cost even lower than 500 EUR.

Even if wasn't for the xiaomi I still don't recommend to purchase the Chinese version. It's totally sucks!!!!
And If you do want to buy, you can buy my phone for 400 EUR..

Thank you! Your comment is very valuable to me!

What is worst that does not work?

I like design of Oppo better than Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 a little bit better. Honor Magic 2 is what I also consider (it is even more powerful).

I am not a heavy user of a phone. I mostly use it for calls and emails. Also some browsing, youtube and taxi apps. Maybe taking some photos of my children. I do not use that much apps. But I never had Chinese version of phone, so I do not know what problems could be.

P.S. Which one do you have (what color), what is its condition and where are you located? :)

Basically the most annoying things is the fact that Google apps aren't the default for everything. Start with Google assistant and ends with browser and You can't change the default settings for most things.
Also, the massage app is completely out of sense because all of the 'security' that oppo put in the app.
Talking about security:
1. They have annoying security keyboard (but you can change it to Google keyboard).
2. They have kind of secure Chinese browser that almost that serching in it bring up only Chinese website's And you can't change the default that while you open a link that Oppo think it's should be secure automatically it's direct to Oppo browser Wich don't have all of your passwords and username for this very secure page..
3. Like I said the massaging app.
4. You need to open oppo account for security and you can't open one directly from the phone because they only allow Chinese phone number (it is possible to other countries but it's very complicated).
5. I'm sure there is more that I forget or don't know about.


P.S I'm located in Israel.
It's the blue one.
256GB ROM 8GB RAM
Actually it's in a pretty great condition except for a very few unnoticed screech's. If you want to buy it, I can list it on eBay end send you a link.

The oppo browser and the keyboard are both disabled on my Chinese find X. Nova launcher works PERFECTLY on it as well. I personally don't care about or use the messaging app as I use whatsapp for that.
Using ADB, I disabled all stock functions and apps. My ONLY issue left is not having Google Play Music controls on lockscreen. Other music apps work for that but I've been using Play Music for so long...

Can you please explain to me how exactly do you installed the Nova launcher?
I used also ADB to remove the system launcher so I can use some other launcher and it worked, I can now use any launcher I please.
But on any launcher I tried including Nova, when I tried to go back from the app currently opened to that main screen I mean when I tried to use the middle button it's just exit all open apps including the launcher and direct me to this screen

On this screen I just can't do anything! I can't slide the middle button to show all open apps And I can't use the back buttons!
The only thing I can do is to slide down the notification window (but can't get in to any notification) And to take a screenshot..

Can you please explain to me what exactly did you do to install the Nova launcher on your device?

I didn't do anything special. I installed nova, and removed the stock launcher. Works just fine for me and everyone I know. Try changing the home button action to NONE in the gesture settings in nova.
