If you installed correctly from OOS 12, then all GMS services are retained.

Good guide.

NE2215 variant here. Will I still be able to root after flashing this build?

Hi! Did Aod notification for non-Chinese messenger work with this type of update?)

Not sure I'll check, but i use the messenger included in ColorOS anyway.

yes, use a roll back package.

You've probably never seen it b/c Oneplus/Oppo hasn't released ColorOS globally for Onepus devices. ColorOS 13 is mainly used by Oneplus Phones in China.

Edit: I would also say it is better optimized than OOS 13 b/c it is the original OS that OOS 13 is based on.

I've certainly heard of it but haven't ever thought to commit to install it... If Google play services can be installed then id see it as a custom ROMs of sorts compared to OOS...

How sad android has got when this is what I'd consider a custom ROM.

I may give it a whirl.

When I place the update in the root of my device it says it cant find it ?

You followed all the instructions for your respective version right? (You're on OOS 12 A.17?)

I've been considering trying to make a custom rom for the 10 pro as I've done it before for my 7T Pro, but like everyone is saying, the lack of easy access to the MSM tool is just a big obstacle.

very good tutorial
I have a question, I have the oneplus 10 pro just received, it is NE2215 and I have it in version 11.A.17.
I have already downloaded the update with oxigen updater and the file that you recommend for its installation.
My question is, I want to install oxygen 13, if I install I will have oxygen or Coloros? Or since the mobile is the CH version, I cannot install oxygen 13.
I would be very grateful if you can solve this doubt for me, even though it may be an absurd question.

Thank you very much and great job to help

If you want to install OOS 13 you can go for it, ColorOS 13 is just another option. For your questions, yes if you update to ColorOS 13, you won't be able to install OOS 13 unless you roll back to OOS 12 and update to OOS 13.

Ok thank you very much, with the oxygen updater I downloaded this version: NE2215_11_C.21
So I imagine that it will be oxygen 13, right?
And then, to install it, I install it the same as you have explained for the Coloros version?? Just download the OPLocalUpdateAPK file and install ??

Thank you very much again for your help

Cheers
