Owh , that the answer i would like to heard !!
so basically if the china rom flashed to oxygenOS , then the phone i use wont ever receive OTA anymore right ?

Base on your explanation , mean that each time there is OTA update , i have to go xda to download the latest OTA and manually flash to the phone? If without doingt his , then i will be using the same firmware until the phone rosak right
People who wish to flashed to OxygenOS is just to get those Google Assistant active? As i know China Rom can't active the "hello google" , i believe the OxygenOS can be use right as its consider as "GLOBAL" Rom. And also might can be use the AI feature in the phone due to china ROM might not able to use some AI feature in here as it cloud base , like the china IQOO i;m using something will miss connect to the cloud base to china while using the AI function.
The china version with OxygenOS bootloader is locked, so you cannot flash it manually unless you unlock the bootloader. In order to do this, your data will be wiped everytime bootloader is locked or unlocked.
As long as you know the steps, OTA manually is quite simple just not that convenient as doing on the phone itself.
ColorOS comes with Breeno (小布) & OriginOS is BlueLMCopilot (小v), both is powerful enough to do most the tasks that other AI tools can do with better integration with the OS itself, unlike Gemini AI which is works better in Pixel phones with full features.
