OPPO Find 7a Receives Official OmniROM Alpha Builds

The Oppo Find 7a was released in March this year. Since then, it has received the official TWRP support, a feature-packed official OTA, and even CyanogenMod 11S from the OnePlus One.

Now, the handset has received its first source-built custom ROM in the form of official OmniROM alpha builds. This will eventually transition into nightlies in due course of time.

Even though it is only in its alpha stage, there are many functional aspects including GPS, WiFi, Cellular radio (voice and data), basic camera functions, Bluetooth, and Sensors, according to a report from XDA Developers.

It goes on to add that there are a few issues that still prevent it from being daily-driver ready. "For example, audio works, but is a bit flaky, and there are some spontaneous reboots due to WCNSS firmware crashes."

Here's a recap of the handset's specifications. The Oppo Find 7 specs include a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) and 538 pixel per inch (ppi) ratio, 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD support up to 128GB, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, LTE, Wi-Fi ac, 3000mAh battery and Color OS 1.2 based on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

And thanks to some of its software tricks, the phone can click 50-megapixel shots with a 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 CMOS. The primary camera on the handset also supports 4K recording.
