I'm still on Color OS 1.2 and it's driving me crazy, i'm just waiting for a stable ROM to jump ship as fast as i can. It's the buggiest stock ROM i've ever used, the stock gallery app crashes, almost everytime. VSCO in-camera camera crashes. I had one random reboot, but this is not the worst.
The settings. I love SwiftKey so i naturally installed it, and everything goes okay until i try to use it. It works, it works perfectly, but everytime an app requests keyboard usage, the SwiftKey keyboard launches but a notification always appears, it reads "Choose Input Method" so i tap it, and choose SwiftKey and the pop-up goes away but the notification is still there. I tap it again and the same window pops, and again and again.
I go to the Input Settings to try and choose SwiftKey once and for all, but ColorOS doesn't let me uncheck Oppo Swype, i tap it but the checkmark doesn't go away. So basically i have both SwiftKey and Oppo's Swype active. That's okay, i can live with the constant notification and Oppo's Swype active as long as the keyboard launching is SwiftKey.
But, if i reboot the phone, and try to use an app, a wild Oppo Swype appears. I go to the settings and SwiftKey is unchecked. So basically everytime i reboot the phone i have to check SwiftKey in order to use it. I'd love to delete Oppo's Stock keyboard, but i don't know how.
Another thing that is annoying me a little too much is Facebook. Everytime i reboot my phone, i have to add my Facebook account in the Accounts Settings. What's strange is that, even without my FB account activated in the settings, if i open the FB Messenger or the FB app they both login automatically but if i open another app that communicates with a FB account (Chronus for example), i have to add my FB login manually because the app says that i do not have any FB account linked to my phone, and what's strange is that i thought this could maybe be due to my FB app being stored in phone storage, so i moved it to system storage and as soon as i tapped the "Move to system" button, my Find 7a rebooted.
And i won't install 2.0 Beta since it must be even worse atm. I'm craving for a stable ROM.
edit: I can't even change the order of my home screens.
Don't be scared by the "beta", in my opinion 2.0 is a lot more stable than 1.2. And a lot of the bloatware is gone.

There is a new Facebook app in the market since 4th august. Looks good. However when u choose a photo album and choose edit, an exception happens and you cannot edit album. Can anyone repeat this issue? Using unrooted desire on official froyo.
just also realized I cannot uninstall Facebook. Your only option is to uninstall updates. You are left with facebook app that has permanently greyed out "uninstall" option. Even if you go in manually to the application management settings. argh... annoying. force close errors all over the place with it. I could do a hard reset I guess, but really don't fancy the hassle of setting the phone up again and installing all my apps again.
Anyone having issues with Quick Command Not Working?? I've cleared cache & cleared data. I've even tried the demo model @ At&t & it works there. I'm able to open it but no matter what I write it doesn’t do anything.. It'll even force close if I start pressing on the buttons a few times. I'm thinking my phone may be defective & I'm thinking of returning it & getting a new one. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks.

Yeah I'm having a similar issue. I can pull up Quick Command but when I try to add a new command, and select applications for the list of apps to pop up, QC crashes after scrolling down to messages or maps. Meaning I am not selecting messages or maps but I can only scroll down to the apps that begin with M before QC freezes and force closes. I've tried scrolling quickly and very slowly, but still QC crashes and I cannot scroll through my entire list of apps. I have been able to add commmands for apps that I can access before it crashes like Dolphin, Calendar. I am running stock and root but no roms.
**** UPDATE ****
Well, after applying the new multiwindow update, I now am unable to create a new Quick Command for an application. When I select the application option, Quick Command just hangs, the screen goes black, and I get an error that quick command has stopped working and it force closes. I can still access it and the preinstalled/created quick commands, but I just can't create a new one for an application. I tried wiping my cache and cleared data for it but still does not work.
So nobody else has had this issue? I did a google search and found some info and fixes tied to the contacts or language input but neither worked for me.
So, with the recent update to Wear OS on my mobile phone I have found that I wasn't receiving notifications any more. I figured it was something to do with app referencing to the old Android wear instead of the newer Wear OS app on my phone. I reset my phone/watch and from that point it all went horribly wrong. I could no longer transfer apps to my watch (Strava, Keep, Spotify, etc) and notifications would not appear on my device.
THE FIX
1) Remove the Wear OS app from your phone and download Android Wear from UpToDown.com.
2) Download the most recently archived version (2.7.0.177669439) and install it (Enable Unknown sources in settings).
3) Open the Play Store app and go to "My Apps and Games" and find the "Wear OS" app update and open the app store page. Select the triple dot menu from the top right of the screen and uncheck "Enable auto-update".
4) Pair your phone and watch again, giving some time for all apps to sync and reinstall.
I've only just completed this myself and so far everything is starting to come back up on my watch like before. You may need to go into settings and tell the app to resync all apps to watch again, but hopefully this has fixed any issues people are having of late like I have been.
Happy trails!
Did you get constant FC messages?

I wasn't getting any notifications on my watch. So I tried wiping my watch and setting it up again and found it would never sync apps back to the watch. So I rolled back to using Android wear which immediately fixed the issue of the apps not syncing. A positive side effect of doing so allowed me to get notifications again.
I did that and now I have notifications but apps don't syncing. During parring it hangs on ninth app and goes to the main screen. Resync all apps don't work
Same problem here, fresh install and my watch is missing almost all installed apps : keep is present bu not working, google map is missing, ...
Thanks worked for me....not using lates release seem to fix the issue
Doesn´t work for me. Android Wear app FC on XZ1 Compact.
Something was not right, for me, when scrolling in browsers and play store. It was laggy as hell. In other apps like facebook, tidal, instagram, youtube it was fluid and fast. But not on browsers. Tried all, chrome, opera, firefox, bromite, but all was stuttering like crazy. Play store also. I tought there are few rougue apps, twilight theme, fluid nav gestures and smart files manager, but I was so wrong. I also blamed the LG UI skin, but again was so wrong! So how did I resolved?
Guide - possible for any LG out there:
1. Remove SIM
2. Factory reset your phone in the way that doesn't require Internet to go through activating the phone. If you cant do this, it will fail. You should NOT put the email account. (I did reset from phone settings, not by keys. Also remove phone security such as pin, password, face id etc for this to work - just select unlocking the phone by sliding up)
3. DO NOT connect to internet, do not insert SIM.
4. Settings - apps - show system apps also.
5. Disable, remove permissions, set modify system setting to NO and draw over other apps to NO for all korean bloatware (screenshots attached) and for Google play services, google play store, google, and google service framework.
You must do this for each app. Example in screenshots.
6. Connect to wifi. Do not put your email in play store or gmail. Not yet.
7. As soon as connected slide down the notifications pannel. A pop up will apear after few seconds with Google trying to update some libraryes!!! Hit CANCEL!!!
8. Restart and connect with your email on Play Store. Disable asap app updates.
9. Your contacts won't sync now. Don't worry, its normal, you just removed some permissions.
10. Update and install all your apps from play store.
11. Re-enable that 4 google apps, give permissions to all for contacts, phone, wifi etc, enable also draw over other apps and modify system settings for these apps.
12. Insert SIM.
Enjoy! Hope it works for you all, V40, 30, G8, G7 etc
Weird, but its like I have stock vanilla now. Rocket!
