Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:

All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).

You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!

The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen

If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen

If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....

You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:

1. Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
2. Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
3. Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
4. On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
   1. Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
   2. Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
   3. Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
   4. Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
   5. Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
5. Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
6. Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.

Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.

Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

Can someone advise if this process works on the Oppo Find X2 Pro running Color0S 12.1?

Can someone advise if this process works on the Oppo Find X2 Pro running Color0S 12.1?

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)

However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk

With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
