Havoc OS 3.4 [Android 10] On Realme X2 - Installation Guide, 1st Impressions & Review
About Two Months ago, it looked like the development of custom Roms For Realme X2 was never going to kick off. Today there are about four stable-enough-for daily-driver custom Roms Available. Thanks to all of these hardworking developers, Realme X2 now has official TWRP recovery support for all the variants. A week ago I took an in-depth look into Lineage OS 16 (Android 9) On Realme X2 Today I am going to take a look at Havoc OS
Is it Better than Realme UI on Realme X2?
You Can see the first impressions and how to install it below but Here I will delve into more details.
INSTALLATION
First, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. If you are already on Realme UI with locked bootloader, please do your phone a favour, do not try to unlock the bootloader now until Realme provides an official way to do That!
You can see how to flash TWRP recovery HERE
You have to be on Color OS 6.1 to flash it because it uses Color OS vendor. For the Best Results, the variants should be on the FOLLOWING COLOR OS 6.1 UPDATES OR FLASH IT BEFORE FLASHING HAVOC OS:
RMX1991 - A.17
RMX1992 - A.18
RMX1993 - A.18 (A.19 WORKED FINE FOR ME)
Boot into Latest TWRP Recovery WIPE:
Both Caches
System
Data
NB: DO NOT WIPE VENDOR PARTITION, THE ROM DOESN'T HAVE A CUSTOM VENDOR YET!
THE general performance for this Rom is quite impressive with the first build (Alpha) and you have to check it out to experience its smoothness and speed nevertheless, there is a challenge in registering the fingerprint. I was first discouraged but when I eventually registered the fingerprint, I was quite impressed with how the system reads fingerprint.
To register the fingerprint easily (as I later learned) wipe your fingerprint regularly during the fingerprint Registration,
tap gently on the screen and hold for half a second to 1 sec - and wait for the haptic feedback (vibration)
UI And OPTIMISATION
When it comes to customization, Havoc gets A++ for me. It even has a game mode which will be a delight for gamers.

The Android Version

The Performance is Smoother than Smooth AF...:laugh: No Lags, No dulling, No Hanging
When It comes to battery charging speeds, I was shocked because it did charge faster than VOOC charge in Color OS 6.1
I did a video for that because you need to see it to believe it. Having used Havoc for 2+ days as a RMX1993, I am not worried about Realme UI on the EU version.
You have to turn off 'ok google' hotword as it seems to be using the mic continuously and blocks access to might to other apps
Another challenge is Device Not certified on Google which is actually a problem coming from bootloader unlock. You can permanently fix it using this guide HERE!
So, are you going to give it a try?
Do encourage the Devs or just buy them a bottle of beer...:good:
They are doing a great job for the Realme X2 community

So where are download links?
It is more like an advertisement of the youtube-channel.
No information on XDA
Why there is no post about Havoc OS and lineage OS on XDA forum of realme X2 ?

Seriously? Yes, I am a reviewer who just reviewed a ROM for Realme X2 and decided to share my
Review to a relevant community on xda.
Did you not read the credits section? The ROM Maintainers are all xda Members so you can pm them and ask why they have not
opened a thread for It I was surprised myself else I didn't put it myself. XDA now removes Telegram groups links so
If you want the download link, just ask nicely.

Call recorder
Hi !
Thank you for yours posts.
Do you know if there is a rom inside which there is a call recorder included, since Android 9 and 10 shut the way ?
Battery Backup
After updating to Realme UI battery is draining crazily. So how is the battery backup in Havoc-OS 3.4???
Thinking about downgrade and installing linage/havoc!!

Can I install this in Realme x2 pro?
Do volte works on havoc os in realme x2 pro ?
Realme X2 Pro is a very promising high end promising device. But most of the custom ROMs for this device are not up to the mark. I really love RROS, Ancient OS, MIUI. I hope many user out there love these OS too. But is there any developers who can make these custom ROMs available for us. Official release would be a bonus... pls do consider this issue. We, realme x2 pro users need to take full advantages of our beloved device... pls help...
MIUI is trash, even worse than Realme UI, why would you want it?

For customization, dynamic wallpapers. But my first choice is RROS or Ancient OS.
It's because still new? or the Developers look at the user is still too few?
Anybody could answer this? Thank you
There's custom ROMs coming, hopefully soon.
There's a few factors for why none is out now but main reason is that the device is still pretty new and has official Android 12 coming which would cause a lot of additional work to do if the ROM developer started with Android 11.

No custom rom?
If you had looked on the first page of the 11T pro thread, you would have seen Xiaomi Eu and an AOSPA rom Alpha version.

i had a pixel 3a before.
Just use Nova launcher, pixel icons, google apps for everything you do, BSG's Gcam and that's it.
Now if you need to debloat those 6-7 Realme apps (handle with care) , i just put them in a folder in nova's drawer and forgot about them.
Realme ui is quite simple, i see no reason for custom rom...
Today i got the 2nd Android 12 update (615MB) which is the stable version, everything looks fine.

Realme ui is simple but it is not optimized for mid range mobiles like realme 8 there you might face issues like ram management, heating issues n all so for that specs of mobiles custom Rom are much lighter
We need LineageOS or a Murena ROM

Official right?
I need Google experience rom
i want a rom which is very customizable like able to put my own custom icon packs aand it very good , any suggestions. i want a miui based rom . i have redmi note 11 (spes)
Go with leon Os either android 11 or 12 from bootloopers. I have tested every single custom rom for this RN11 either AOSP based Or Miui based (inc Raven Ui) if you are catching my drift. So the final conclusion is either use official miui or use miui repack by leon. It is similar to official miui but with enormous customization and unlocked features.
LEON is is GAPPS Included? I Am looking for rom W/O google. Thanks

Hey I apologize for my late response, I was busy with taking my final exams. So yeah let me just mention. I have tried Evolution X both A12,13, Cr Droid, Covrus, Arrow Os A13, PPUi, PE, Cherish Os, Project Elixir, Superior Os, Raven Ui and Leon Ui. When depends on your preferable interface, If you are into stock AOSP experience then Evolution X is all that I can easily recommend and if you are into Port Rom then Leon Os is tha best.

I will but that's a modification from an Indonesian or Malaysian YouTuber, I just didn't understand the language he was using while reviewing his rom.
Here's the link of video where you are gonna find a link to the rom link, I know it is hilarious but it is what it is .
Ok so you gotta open the trash link and click on I ain't a robot, then it will open an add, you just retrieve back to your old tab and click on get link or smth, then it will open a g/drive link.

Unfortunately not, specially with this device, the stock/official ROM is terrible laggy. I found the AbhiX ROG Edition By Dark Raven 22.4.13 Beta, the better and faster from all the Miui stock based ROMs.
First booting, deleting all the bloatware stuff apps, removing animation effects, all is ok by now.

Well, my post was comparing within Miui custom ROMs based, BUT, no doubt, (almost) any AOSP based ROM works noticeably better and faster in general terms.
I had an astonishing performance with AncientOS, so any time I could return to it.
