ColorOS 12 is the ROM based on Android 12 that some OPPO phones already have, like Find X3 Pro. Similarly, Realme phones with Realme UI 3.0 have a ROM that shares most of the functions and interface. A complete ROM, with Material You and loaded with features.
We’ve rounded up some of the best tips and tricks to get the most out of your OPPO with ColorOS 12, all from its own settings and without the need to install a single application.
Learn how to use automatic themes
One of the best features of the system is Android 12’s Auto Themes. Just change the wallpaper so that the colors of the same are applied in settings, camera UI, seesaw from the notification bar and so on. If we don’t like these colors, we just have to go to settings, customizations and change them.
Change phone icons
OPPO is one of the few manufacturers that allows you to change launcher icons even with the ones we download from the Play Store. Just go to the section of customizations in the settings and click on Icons.
Here we can change the size, the style, if we want the labels to be displayed or not, etc. If we download an external icon pack We can also apply it from here, great news for customization lovers.
Change the quick settings style
Android’s quick settings are one of the most important functions, since with them we activate and deactivate basic system functions, such as WiFi, data, location and others. In ColorOS, in the section of customizationswe can configure their visual styleso that they have the shape we want.
Enable Optimized Charging
This parameter will depend on the OPPO model you have, but in the most modern we can enable optimized overnight charging. With this function, we can slow phone charging (since OPPO phones usually have very fast charging) at night, to extend battery life. It is located on the following path.
- Settings
- Battery
- Advanced settings
- Optimized overnight charging
Enable high performance mode
There is a way to keep your OPPO mobile always running at its best. If you don’t care too much about battery consumption, you can force the processor to work more aggressively.
- Settings
- Battery
- Advanced settings
- high performance mode
Get rid of the app drawer
If you don’t like the app drawer and want everything organized by folders on your mobile, you can set it up from the following path.
- Settings
- Home screen and lock screen
- home screen mode
- normal mode
Change app animation speed
ColorOS is one of the few ROMs that allows change app animation speed from home screen settings, without the need to enable developer options. You can speed up or slow down the animation that appears when you open and close an application.
- Settings
- Home screen and lock screen
- home screen mode
- Speed of app start and stop animations
Look good for a video call
One of the obsessions of Asian ROMs is that we look good and pretty in both selfies and video calls. There is a very curious function in ColorOS that allows retouch the appearance of your face in real time when you are on a video call, being able to adjust in detail the amount of effect we have applied.
- Settings
- special features
- Touch up appearance in video calls
On and off schedule
One of the best features of ColorOS is be able to switch the mobile on and off automatically. Turning it off every night restores system services and extends the life of your phone, without having to worry about the alarm going off the next day. You just have to take this route.
- Settings
- System Parameters
- Schedule on/off
Restrict permissions
A very interesting ColorOS option is that we can completely restrict sensitive permissions. For example, we can limit access to the camera and microphone of all applications. Even though we previously gave you permission, if both of these settings are disabled, no app will be able to access the camera or mic. You will find this parameter in the confidentiality.
Delete multiple apps at once and from the launcher
If you want to swipe a few apps from the card and save space on your OPPO mobile, you can do it from the launcher itself. Simply swipe up to reveal the app drawer, tap “manage” and select the apps you want to sideload.
Protect your photographic data
When you take a photo, metadata is recorded about its location, the phone model it was taken with, camera information, and more. If you don’t want to send information when you share your photosthere is an option in the OPPO gallery.
- Open photo gallery
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Delete personal information before sharing
