Yeah I'm on EU Global Rom v 2.07 atm, and I'm missing it too. I don't believe the NA Global has it either. Some users have reported an update to EU Global v2.09 that added camera features and block calling in game launcher. I switched to this global Rom in hopes to get it but it hasnt, dunno why maybe region specific update push. The CN Rom stock has all kinds of features, but some drawbacks at least in US, no LTE and SMS system is horrible even with root and gapps....it's horrid lol.
Have you tried gcam to see if slow motion works there? It's unlikely but worth a shot

Slow motion option updated V1.16...

Pls update ur phone

Slow motion does show up in the options, but there's still no button to record in slow motion.
OK, so it's not in the video section... that's grand.
They did fix the performance issue, or at least got it back to performing like it was in 1.11

Works fine on my RM3 and 3S running all NA ROMs. It's under camera family then slow motion.
Hi guys, just picked up a realme X2 pro. I noticed some devices have Google assistant and all that built in. I had my device sent from China but I had to add the play store and all that. I have a breeno Assistant built in instead. Also when I swipe down to search it's in Chinese still but the phone was set up on English. Some models have a app drawer and I do not. I can't even install a different launcher on the phone. Any tips or what I need to do?
Cant you install nova launcher from playstore?

I have the play store I can download launchers but can't change them to default. I can't change anything from default apps. Like Google messaging when I set to default it automatically goes back to the original one. Other users have said they have Google assistant built into the phone but I have something called breeno

Seen somewhere on the web that you can install the European rom over the Chinese one. Maby you could try that. Dont know how that works on realme phones since i have not gotten my hand on one yet. Ill be getting the European version that has everything installed by default.

I'd love to know where you heard this, as they don't even list the EU rom for download yet and people seemed to have issues doing the same with the X2.
https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update
I'm also looking to flash my Chinese phone with the EU Rom and haven't found anything yet. If there is someone here that has done this, do give a shout-out!
Just picked up the China 64/6GB configuration (RMX1931), got Google Play running, all looking good, until I ran into the following OS limitations that I've never seen before in about 10 previous Android devices and at least 20 different OS's:
- I can't change the default launcher. Have seen tutorials for what must be previous versions of ColorOS on Oppo devices showing that the launcher can be changed under Additional Settings > App Management > Default App. In this version, App Management is in the root options menu, but the Default App menu doesn't include a launcher option. Attempting to set a new default launcher from within the new launcher app just doesn't take--no matter how many times I pick "use as default launcher," upon hitting home I go right back to the ColorOS launcher. It's mind-blowing to me that Oppo would have the shortsightedness to lock out one of the most key features of Android customizability...surely there's a way around this, has anyone found it? Because the stock launcher suuuucks.
- I can't set vibrate-only notifications. I can for ringtones, but not notifications. There's no "None" option for notification sounds, and no option to enable vibration or choose a vibration style for notifications. Unbelievable.
- I can't change the default SMS app. Well, I can, but the OS automatically changes it back to the stock SMS handler every time I receive an SMS, and I can't find any way to disable this.
Much obliged if anyone has found any workarounds to the above issues that they can share. I am REALLY excited for someone to come out with a way to flash stock Android on this thing. Great hardware value, but this stock OS...for the most part it's fine, but it's blocking functionality that's been available on every Android phone for the past decade. I can't imagine what the software team behind this was thinking.
Wow. Good for me I did not pre-orded the european version yesterday, I'm using Nova Prime launcher on every phone for years and also textra, that's a no go for this phone for me now... And I have no doubt what you say is true.
One thing tho, I'm french, saw a french review of the X2 Pro a few weeks ago, and the guy clearly said he installed textra and adviced users to do so, and didn't share any complains so...
But right now I'm gonna stand with your testimony and hold my purchase, thanks for sharing mate and hope you will find a solution if there is one.
It could be due to the fact it's a chinese version.
I guess EU version on pre order on the official site won't 'suffer' those limitations.
Let's wait for more feedback

I also have the Chinese version of the phone to the 8GB 128gb version. I also cannot change the launcher or change default applications. Hoping a custom or global ROM will come out so I can flash it over. I also have weird black lines that appear in my camera sometimes but only in my room I've noticed doesn't do it outside. they show up in the picture or video but when I'm in good lighting or outside they don't appear. Just in my room regardless of how the lighting is it's super weird. Otherwise the camera is pretty good. Can be a lot better with some software tweaks. Also when I swipe down on the home screen some of the phone is still in Chinese even though it's set in English. I can't get Google assistant on it either. It has its own built-in called breeno but it's all Chinese. Otherwise the performance of the phone is great if you could get oxygen OS on it it would be perfect. Battery life is really good currently at 50% 9 hours and 11 minutes of use and 4 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time. Charging a super fast and I typed all of this using talk to text.

Install your preferred launcher first, than uninstall default launcher with adb commands (many guides about that), you are good to go.

Just to check, you've done this and it uses the other launcher? It doesn't just leave you without a launcher?

I have done it when I had Oppo K1 last year, same Color OS. And don't worry in case of any problem you can always factory reset to fix.

Doesn't work, on attempting to delete system apps, including launcher (com.oppo.launcher), I get the following return:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Can uninstall other apps no problem with adb commands. Also, this is a unique error return; the error you get for trying to uninstall the wrong package name or a package that doesn't exist is different.
It looks to me like changing the launcher or permanently changing the SMS handler on the Realme X2 Pro will not be possible without root. I do see that there's a test version of TWRP out for this device, so I'll try getting SuperSU running and uninstall the system launcher that way.

So sorry to hear that, and so nonsense that Oppo (Realme) isn't allowing for a simple launcher change. Just because of those stupid things I'm not buying any phone that can't be rooted. But X2 Pro will get root eventually.
Just to add something I just saw here : https://youtu.be/UjmvlHZuD8s?t=451
Almost one month ago and dit not seem to have any problem with changing original launcher to Nova... ?

This looks to me to be the EU rom and is probably an EU version phone.

You mean an EU version? It definitely looks like the launcher restriction is an issue with the original chinese versions and there still appears to be no clarity on whether anyone has managed to get the EU rom on a CN phone.
The EX on the version number looks to me to indicate the global versions and this seemingly prevented people flashing it on the X2 so I suspect the X2 Pro has the same problem.
Just try pocco launcher guys.
Very light and looks like near to stock AOSP experience
Changed launcher without any problem at all. Process is straightforward as in any other android .

True that. I have the EU version.

Im using NOVA, but sometimes seems a little buggy... Have to block and unlock again to come to normal.
Install your preferred launcher from play store first
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher

Yes, I've done this and can confirm it works. More detailed infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
HOWEVER: Nova's Google companion does not work well. I often cannot slide to the very left and then I have to play around with the auto start and energy saving settings.
Also ColorOS keeps changing certain notification settings. Spotify and my Podcast App don't get shown on the Lockscreen, the settings are simply changed back without me doing this. And my calendar widget "Todo agenda" is often not populated with data and becomes useless.
For me, it's a pretty nasty mix of annoyances and shortcomings right now and I'm not thrilled by the Chinese version at all.
I will try to flash the EU Rom, but haven't seen it uploaded anywhere yet...
If that or future software updates won't solve the problems, then I will sell it again.
So I recently got bought the Honor Magic watch 2, love everything about it so far except I can't change my watch face theme using the Huawei Health app. The only option I have is adding music. I look at all the reviews on this watch almost everyone has that option. So I'm guessing this has to do with the regional issue I'm located in Canada. Is there any way around this. It's kinda annoying not having that option especially if the watch itself is a global model.
Any suggestions or help would be great.
I am facing same issue in India.
further It happened to see one time in my app, I dont know how, so I set 3 pics but after that again no option in app but those 3 photos are available in my watch and displaying but I cant change the pic as there is no option

Follow these steps
only thing is these steps will not work with an Huawei/Honor phones so you'll need another android works with even the older phones.
You will also need to get a hold of a chinese id (only worked for me when i got a chinese number so if you can find one that hasn't been used it will need it to register)
Keep in min when you first launch the Health app i suggest you to choose china as your region code and register as a new ( with the chinese number)
Hope that helps.
Update: this is only for mi pilot program accounts, I didn't know that I am part of pilot program until this update. Many people are commenting in here without reading comments that says it is for pilot accounts so I had to add this update.

13.0.5.0 is EEA stable rom
Uploading link for everyone, taking some time. But for 1 hour usage, feels way smoother, scroll is better, camera usage warning added which also works with face unlock (confused me at first).
Settings same, rotation is way better especially with camera.
Opening camera seems faster.
First time I see loud speaker phone calls this loud and clear, I'll test it more today and let you know.
Notifications changed, phone call notifications looks cooler. Widgets different. Battery seems better.
Other than that nothing I can tell by now, just 1 hour usage
Oh btw, rear display video is now available
Normal photo camera shutter speed is UNAVAILABLE!!!!!! I can keep clicking on the camera and it takes a photo of every click not missing one and no delays.. camera is AMAZING.
Photos not tested yet

Im tired of EU after back to it only in 2 months
I flashed EU 3.3.22 this morning. If I'm switching to Global, it'll be for a while, got tired of backing up and restoring all the time.
So, the Global is so much better?
hey guys happy to see the update, but my question is how to install the file? its fastboot file or i have to install it with xiaomi Mi Flash tool?
Download it on your phone, then go to update through settings and then local update from the three dots, select file and then will start
If you cannot see (local update) then in the update window keep pressing on 12.5 big logo until a message appears, once appeared then open 3 dots again and you'll find more selections
