In this guide, we show you how to install OxygenOS on Realme 2 Pro. Realme has recently upgraded the device to Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS 6.0, but if you are looking for something different on your phone, then you can install the Android Pie-based OxygenOS ported from OnePlus 7 Pro.
Realme 2 Pro is a mid-range device that comes packed with Snapdragon 660 AIE octa-core processor, 8GB/4GB RAM and more. An advantage of the device (for techie users) is that the company officially allows bootloader unlocking on the device. It means you can install custom ROMs like Lineage OS, OxygenOS Remix, etc. in the device.
OxygenOS for Realme 2 Pro is a remix of OxygenOS and ColorOS that ensure stability and performance. You can install this ROM via TWRP after updating your device to ColorOS 6.0.
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- TWRP recovery installed on the phone (download)
- Update Realme 2 Pro to ColorOS 6.0
Note that the status of the ROM is stable and the only known bug is Fingerprint isn’t working. Since this is the custom ROM, you may experience other bugs also.
