Back in 2019, OPPO launched a "Pro" variant of the OPPO R15 in India with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chip, 6GB of RAM, dual rear cameras and VOOC fast charging. The affordable mid-ranger was originally shipped with ColorOS 5.0 on top of Android 8.0 Oreo, and received its Android Pie update after a few months. The OPPO R15 Pro was also mentioned in OPPO's ColorOS 7/Android 10 update roadmap, and the company started a public beta testing in late-June. And now, the final stable Android 10 update is rolling out to the OPPO R15 Pro with all the goodness of ColorOS 7.

OPPO reveals ColorOS 6 (Android Pie) beta testing dates in India
OPPO has announced the beta testing schedule for ColorOS 6 based on Android Pie and it is expected to begin with OPPO F9/F9 Pro, Find X, and F7 this month.
Smartphones made by OPPO run ColorOS, an Android skin that focuses on vibrant colors (thus, the name) and detailed icons. Over the years, OPPO has made progress and established a separate identity for ColorOS away from the initial perception about it being inspired by iOS. In March this year, OPPO announced ColorOS 6 for its smartphones and the latest version of the Android overlay comes with more emphasis on minimalism, flat icons, and gradients along with performance improvements. Since then, the ColorOS 6 update has made its way to premium devices such as the OPPO Reno series and should soon be rolling out to other devices in India.

Custom themes now possible on rooted Android P devices with Substratum
Substratum, the popular third-party theme manager, has been updated to support rooted Android P devices like the Google Pixel, Google Pixel 2, and more.
Android P's user interface changes were initially met with some controversy (mostly due to perceived similarities with iOS and obvious accommodations for devices with notched displays), but it seems that the criticisms have died down some as people have gotten used to the changes. There's one missing feature that Android enthusiasts have begging for over the past few years: custom themes. Android Oreo introduced Sony's theme framework which the popular third-party Substratum theme manager hooked into to provide rootless custom themes. Unfortunately, Android P blocked third-party overlays from being installed by requiring overlays to be signed by the system. For those of you itching to get a system-wide dark theme on Android P, however, the Substratum team has just released a new beta that supports rooted devices.
