Cost⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️
I am/we not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you blame me in any way for what happens to your device, I will laugh at you.
Notes before flashing . 🖥️📲
• For those who are coming from the stock ROM (E.g. Realme UI 1.0/2.0) you must unlock the bootloader first. The Realme UI 2.0 deep testing apk has not yet been released, the only way to unlock your bootloader is to downgrade to RUI 1.0 using the rollback package. You can find more information in the main realme 5 Pro / Q Telegram group or ask for assistance to unlock your bootloader.
• For those who already at the RealmeUI 2.0 base rom (Unlock BL) or Already migrated/switched to RealmeUI 2.0 base. You can now skip the migration/switching part below. 👇
• If you are still using (BL unlocked) Realme UI 1.0 based roms (or stock Realme UI 1.0), you'll need to switch to Realme UI 2.0 based roms to get Android 14 Roms above.

Side note:
🟡 You need to clean flash with format data if you're coming from Stock Rom or Any RUI 1.0 fw based custom roms or Any previous Android versions. It's MANDATORY. So, take backup of your internal storage & data before flash.
🟡 You are not forced to use F2FS file system. You can move to F2FS as your wish. Please note that this is not a requirement! Alternatively, you can continue to use the existing ext4 file system.
🟡 You can flash it over existing EXT4 supported ofx means you can continue with your existing non F2FS supported ROMs.
🟡 For F2FS Rom you just need to follow the guide in order to switch to F2FS from EXT4 file system
🟢 Need minimum 3 days (or 3 full charging cycles) for things to settle(optimizations). So be patience.
🟡 Users might get widevine L1 support if you're already getting it in RUI 2.0 stock rom. If NOT, follow steps from #widevinel1 notes in main Telegram group.
