Whenever you launch File Explorer, it will automatically open the Quick Access folder. For many users, this is the least interacted directory on their PC and hence they don’t wish to be greeted with it every time they invoke the explorer. Some users mostly deal with a specific system directory on the C drive, while others frequently visit their preferred games or movies folder in D Drive.

But for most of these modifications (apart from unlocking the bootloader), you need a working custom recovery like TWRP in the first place. It doesn’t really matter whether it is the official build, an unofficial one, or modified ones that make use of TWRP’s source code. If you have TRWP, you have the keys to the customizations. Although every Android device does come up with its own stock recovery, its functionality is highly limited....

But even then, you could easily flash the stock firmware via Fastboot Commands (after extracting the payload....

Then if we shift our focus towards the ColorOS, it is the customized Android OS skin from the Oppo.
