I have read that it's easier to make custom ROMs for snapdragon devices now realme 2pro is coming with that..and supports for project treble
realme2 also have snapdragon 450 processor..
and its already launched but no roms or root
nowdays its almost impossible to crack bootloaders
without manufacturer's consent..

Cant we just use Kingoroot or other apps to root the phone and then flash custom recovery using rashr or flashify?
Hello Mate,

You are in the opposite direction.
Kingroot and other such rooting apps only root old devices ( by old I mean devices launched literally 2-3 years back ). Technology has changed now. And also the Android Security and OS integration has changed with time.
New devices now have to have a custom recovery first and then you can root the device through that custom recovery with Magisk OR SuperSU. And to install the custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader.
So going step wise in ascending order it is --> Unlock Bootloader --> Install Custom Recovery --> Flash Root App ( Magisk / SuperSU ) --> Enjoy :cool:

Then how...?
Point # 1 : Realme phones do not have a fastboot recovery installed. So there is literally no way to unlock the bootloader without entering fastboot recovery mode ( correct me if I am wrong ).
Point # 2 : Even if there is any way to unlock the bootloader, there is no Official support from Realme for unlocking the bootloader which means you lose the warranty the moment you unlock your bootloader.
Point # 3 : Realme is currently working on their own brand new UI different than Color OS which will take at least Q3 of 2019 so don't expect any Official support.

What we can do :
ALL the Realme users should put up a request to Realme for providing Official bootloader unlocking support just like Xiaomi so that we can all enjoy some cool custom roms or maybe tweak the Color OS as we want. The more the requests the more Realme will listen to us.
A dedicated Realme Official Community Forum is going to start on October 31 where we all can put our requests for providing bootloader unlocking support as well as for changes and bug fixes in the current Color OS. I guess the request for changes in the Color OS UI will only happen in the new Realme UI as they will take suggestions from us that what we want and then apply that in the new Realme UI which they will provide later. Also we know that Realme will still be related to Oppo for at least 1-2 years more so don't expect a BIG difference like a nearly Stock Android type of Realme UI. The new Realme UI will definitely be somewhat like a copy of iOS just like the ColorOS of Oppo and Funtouch of Vivo.
( FYI : Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus are all brother companies who are under 1 single Parent company which is BBK Electronics and even if Realme has now seperated from Oppo, I assume it is still under BBK Electronics, so all these 4 smartphones companies are actually just 1 single company operating with different sub brand name.

Yes dude you are correct. I know that unlocking bootloader isnt available for realme. The give an option of OEM unlocking which is just of no use without fastboot. I just wanted to try old methods XD. Btw, if u google, a lot of other sites show how to install twrp in realme phones. I didnt try cuz m afraid i will brick my phone. Should I try?

The article says that flashing TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader and links to this article which ultimately says
This article is under development and needs an update. OPPO has high security on their smartphones & needs individual development. This is a newly launched smartphone, therefore, will take some time. I will update the article ASAP
Clickbait.

Yes.
It is a clickbait.

Today at the end of 2018 the most popular, trusted, secure and REAL Android development forum is XDA and developers around the globe put forth their Custom ROM development only on XDA.
It is useless, also not safe to trust any private website for any kind of custom Rom. XDA is the only and ultimate place to search for and trust on any custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Hi Guys,
I have an issue with my realme 2 pro (Color OS 5.2), When i make any application like Mcafee Mobile security as a device manager, it keep giving yellow floating notification for system security risk, I have tried multiple things but it doesn't go. Interestingly, i have other apps also set as DEvice manager but the notification only comes when i make McAfee Antivirus as Device manager. I heard that its a known issue with ColorOS, can anybody suggest any fix for this or facing the same issue?
