It's actually 9.30 Mb when installed.

I think the app is for marshmallow users

No.
It's for lollipop users that want to test marshmallow.

app allows only register - at least for me. But I live in Poland. Poland is not a test country. because I do not get your hopes up that I tester. but have a try one can

The app won't help you. You need to apply for registration through it. Nothing more.

What does it matter if you can or can't register? When the time is there a flashable package of Marshmallow will appear here on the forums

I was signed up. I received an email and waiting for developments

But why? Can anyone with some knowledge in Android App development explain to me why an app which does almost nothing at all needs this much size?
P.s
I joined with a Swiss ROM and a Swiss number from a Thai Network and got an email -.o
Do they sort out Countries only by Google play store? Or will the people with wrong country number just be ignored later on?

Probably because the app has more purpose than applying for the beta. A purpose that isn't available yet.

Got the OTA update to Nougat last night!

Came here to see what everyone else thinks of the update, but no one else seems to be talking about it. Did anyone else get updated?
For reference, I'm using a FRD-L04 on AT&T in the USA. I'm currently on build FRD-L04C567B360. I'm not rooted or anything, just got the phone a month ago.
I didn't do anything to get the update, (not even manually running the updater) just got a notification that the software update was available.
It's been fantastic so far. I felt that EMUI 4 was slick and quick but this feels even faster and smoother. Very happy so far but it's only been a few hours. (went to bed shortly after upgrading)

Can you post a screenshot on the about info? Just to make sure some rumors are true that some people will get the update earlier for the L04 model.

Screenshot added to OG post.

Interesting, they must have just started rolling it out despite the February release rumors.

Hmm.. I haven't received it yet.Were you rooted? Were you on the B162 firmware before?

OP said he isn't rooted and got the phone a month ago. But I did hear rumors that some L04 variants would get nougat a couple weeks in advance so I don't really expect to get nougat until a couple of weeks into February.
Also OP does the stock messaging app support quick reply implemented from nougat?

In Poland some people get official OTA for L09 model, so they start updating our phone earlier

I was also able to get the EMUI5/Nougat upgrade through HiCare under the "early adopter" section. I'm in Finland and have L19 (the 64GB dual-SIM version).
Based on what I read, the early adopter program is not a beta program, but just the first bunch to receive the official upgrade?
Haven't installed the upgrade yet, have to first backup and charge the phone.

I would say it's more like release candidate. Under the early adopter section I have a comment that "some of the updates doesn't have official status and could be still not stable". Anyway, enjoy. It brings this much needed UI refresh

Where can I find the early adopter section in the hicare app?

after the update the screen off and lock is not working anymore, if you lock with the app you must enter password to unlock

in the app it's under Service, Os update and early adopters, make sure you have the latest version of Hicare from the Playstore also,.

Hej everyone...
Same happened to me today morning...i've got notification then OTA update is ready to download...
I'm in Sweden, not rooted, locked bootloader...

Thanks, that's what I thought. Of course it's useless to have an early adopter program if you are forced to release the same version to the others anyway. You have to have an option to fix bugs if major showstoppers arise.
Did the upgrade, everything went smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised that the upgrade still has Huawei Swype keyboard as an option in addition to Swiftkey. I use Swype on all my mobile devices, now I don't have to install it separately.

Hi guys, I got the 360 update this morning.
Its not the official N update im on the beta N uk program.
I was intouch with honor UK early this week and he said that we would get another beta update before the official N release.
As you can see from the screen shots this update was only nearly 500mb.
I'm not sure if they are doing different things in different countries but this is what's happening in the UK

Yes I get that but I spoke to a Honor rep on Google + on Monday and he said that we was getting one more update on the beta before the Official N release in Feb.

INDIA(IN) ONLY!!!
There are open applications for realme UI early access for realme X2 Pro, posted on realme Community Forum.
Here's the announcement on the realme Community, (Original link):
Hi realme fans!
realme UI update is scheduled for realme X2 and realme X2 Pro this month. We would like to share with you all that the update is almost ready and we will begin the rollout very soon. Since, as a realme Community member, you guys should get the first privilege, so here is an interesting arrangement.
We will give realme UI update to 3000 users of realme X2 and realme X2 Pro respectively before anyone else (on a first come first serve basis).
All you have to do is quickly fill-up the form mentioned below and share the necessary details.
After the OTA is released, we request you to test it vigorously and share your feedback on the realme community under the bug report section.
Note - This is not the final version and may contain bugs and issues. You will receive the final version as soon as we release it.
Note: We may not be able to push the update in the following cases~
1. The IMEI number is incorrect
2. The IMEI number entered does not match the selected model
3. The IMEI of the realme phone that is not sold in India
Terms & Conditions:
1. Due to uncertain factors such as network communication and strategy adjustment, it is impossible to guarantee that the realme fan will receive a 100% absolute priority to receive the update. In case the update is not received, we request you to wait for the official release.
2. The first batch of users may encounter system bugs. Please backup important information on your smartphone before updating to prevent data loss.
3. This version may contain some serious issues that might affect normal usage. In case of such an issue, you may have to go customer services for assistance.

Note: It'll be very helpful if anyone here who applied could give the info when the beta rolls out. So other users outside of India could also get informed.

Maybe if someone on the forum could apply into beta and send us the zip file, it could be perfect

Is the OTA supposed to start today March 5th for those accepted ?

Would you happen to know of a direct download link for this update? Or might you be able to post a copy of the file that you downloaded for others to access?
Many of us in areas where updates are often delayed for long periods, such as here in Canada, use a VPN to download updates from India as soon as they're available. However, this method doesn't work so far for participating in / downloading the beta.

I think is not possible to acess update's file, so, we have to wait till stable release...

Got coloros11.1 update on 27 jan

Today should be the release of coloros 11 final in India and Indonesia. Did someone receive it?

Received..
they just changed the March 3rd beta update to official.
That's it no additional download required.
If you already received the beta update of March 3rd 2021 you are running the official version.

I am trying with Speedify India and Indonesia servers, but nothing

It seems Oppo won't release the full Android 11 ROM on their support site for a while (Find X2 Android 11 was available since last Nov but the full ROM is still not available for download as of now).
For us non India/Indonesia variant users might need to do the region change trick to get the download working, saw that on Find X2 Pro forum but haven't try that out myself yet:
[GUIDE] Switch software region to Upgrade to ColorOS 11 and enable Dual Sim.
I want to write this here so it's all in one place and not scattered around different threads. Apologies for the bad formatting in some parts as this is on of my first contribution. Most of this is copied from this thread: I am adding onto this...
forum.xda-developers.com

Update:
I was able to swtich my Taiwan variant (CPH1919TW) to India version using the method above, and has upgraded my phone to Android 11 successfully. Not even VPN is needed, just click the apply trial version in settings after reboot.
Overall some nice improvments here and there, not as huge improvement going from Android 9 to Andorid 10, but still a nice upgrade. System is smooth as usual (I didn't do a clean install, just upgrade).
Considering there is still no confirmed upgrade schedule on other regions, it's worth to try the above method, it's not that difficult neither.

Holy ****, it works. Many thx to you squallho1

After switch to India version, apply trial version and now downloading in Czech republic without VPN.

Working in The Netherlands! Changed to Phone to India with above mentioned tutorial and now downloading coloros11, thanks!
And now that the phone region is India I finally have the dual wifi option available in the settings

Using the above guide Android 11 working fine. But now the phone has some bloatware on it - the Oppo App Store - though you can hide Hotapps & Hotgames in the AppStore settings.
I thought changing the region back EuropeEx might get rid of it - but I get the error 'Connection problem or invalid mmi code', instead of the region screen appearing in the dialer.
Anyway around this?
The dual-wifi works fine - its connects to my 2_4ghz and 5Ghz bands simultaneously. Overall Im more than happy with the Android 11 upgrade and would recommend it.
