I was actually thinking of making a guide myself since the info and files are all over the place. I'll see if I can scrape together some time tonight to put one together. Would give it it's own thread.Are you up to share links with a guide and links on how to root it? I haven't rooted any of my phones so far.
Is there any battery improvement after you removed Breeno/APP market/themes app?

It doesn't always have to be mediatek zzz xxxx. It can be something with any random numbers and characters.Update:
Im able to change my GT Neo ROM to Indian Variant. Thank you so much sir!
Experience:
Instruction #13-#15 are quite tricky.
Issues Encountered:
- my windows pc cannot detect the mediatek com port
- proper timing of clicking DOWNLOAD on SP Flash Tool
How i manage to proceed on SP FT Download:
- first turn off phone (assuming below instructions are DONE -> How i fixed (to detect):)
- SP Flash Tool needed Configs are Done (just waiting for the Downlolad to be clicked)
- MTK Bypass (Administration) is waiting for device
- after SUCCESS MESSAGE on MTK Bypass, immediately click on Download (SP FT)
- once download is started, you can unhold VOL - & + wait to be finished
How i fixed (to detect):
- downloaded this mediatek vcom drivers -> https://www.thecustomdroid.com/mediatek-preloader-usb-vcom-drivers/
- there are some popup that appear (i forgot to remember), i just clicked yes
- then restart pc
- turn off device
- open LIBUSB Filter device (Goal is to detect "Mediatek xxxxx yyyyy zzzzz" usb device on the list)
- Hold VOL - & VOL + AND PLUG Type C Cable
- Check the LIBUSB Filter list and once you see any "MEDIATEK ZZZZZ XXX" click and install
- once success, you can go to -> How i manage to proceed on SP FT Download:
Hope that helps! Thank you .
No worries, and thanks for sharing your debloat script! I gave it a try, but ended up just making my own. The GT Neo 2T comes with a ton of bloatware I haven't seen in any debloat scripts, and there's a bunch of stuff that doesn't exist on it that is in most scripts and slows them down. Also identified a few unwanted apps that require root to remove.I haven't tried the guide, as I won't have any free time soon.
My current ADB debloat list that DOESN'T require root.
To run the whole list, under Windows OS, you can literally copy adb shell commands and put them into a .BAT file and run the bat file after you've connected your device to adb and have adb.exe in the path/or have it in the current directory.
After Realme UI 3.0 update more crap to clean up.I haven't tried the guide, as I won't have any free time soon.

I can confirm that the X7 Max stock firmware (A15 Global India) does NOT work on the GT Neo 2T. After flashing, the touchscreen and display no longer work. The GT Neo 2T must have slightly different hardware compared to the GT Neo/GT Neo FE/X7 Max, despite the seemingly matching specs and design.
Thankfully, download mode still works. Fastboot also works even though the display remains off. I am currently uploading the GT Neo 2T stock firmware (A14 China) for FTools and will share the link here when ready, in case someone else needs it for unbricking.
The TWRP custom recovery for the X7 Max does appear to be fully working on the GT Neo 2T. However, I tried every custom ROM available for the X7 Max and none of them made it past the startup animation. Evolution-X did start up ADB, but the logs showed startup was unable to proceed past some infinitely looping errors. Despite the phone showing as Treble capable, the few GIS ROMs I tested did not even make it to the startup animation.
I'm happy to test further if anyone has more ideas, but at this time it seems like the stock firmware is the only option for the GT Neo 2T.
Without the ability to run global or custom ROMs, the GT Neo 2T is very frustrating to use. Android Auto is unsupported, many other features don't work, and the stock SMS app can't be changed. Breeno and many other Chinese market applications are baked into ColorOS and can't be removed or disabled. If anyone knows of fixes for any of these issues, please share! Realme support has told me in no uncertain terms they do not plan to provide solutions, and probably won't release a global ROM or sources. It's unfortunate, because the hardware itself is very nice for the price!
