How to Install AOSP Android 12 on Realme X2 Pro
As the title suggests, here we’ve shared the requirements and steps to flash the AOSP Android 12 build on the Realme X2 Pro (RMX1931) variant.
Before heading over to the guide, make sure to follow all the requirements below.
Pre-Requisites
Before we begin with this procedure, I would strongly recommend you create a backup of your device storage and all your files stored on your device. Moreover, it is advised to follow the steps mentioned in this post very carefully to avoid permanent damage or to brick your device.
Charge Your Phone
It’s highly recommended to charge your handset before unlocking the bootloader to avoid your device from shutting down occasionally while going through the process. Make sure to keep at least 50% of charge or higher for a smooth operation.
Download ADB and Fastboot Binaries
You can skip this adb and fastboot part if you have already installed TWRP Recovery on your Realme X2 Pro.
Using the ADB and Fastboot command (platform-tools), you’ll be able to boot your Android device into the bootloader mode (download mode) which will be easy for you to proceed with further steps. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) creates a connection or bridge between the device and computer to sideload files.
Whereas Fastboot is a more advanced command utility tool for Android devices that works with computers. You can download ADB and Fastboot Binaries (Platform-Tools).
Download Realme USB Drivers
A USB Driver is a set of files that basically allows you to create a successful and strong connection between a mobile device with a computer properly using a USB data cable. It’ll be useful to transfer files between the connected devices, flash files on the handset, and more.
It’s also worth mentioning that not only mobile devices but also other external devices can use and run USB Drivers on a Windows computer. Such as mouse, keyboard, printer, external hard drives, speakers, USB flash drives, etc. You can grab Realme USB Drivers here.
You have to install TWRP Recovery on your phone to install any custom ROM on your device. After unlocking the bootloader, you can follow our guide to install TWRP Recovery on your Realme X2 Pro.

Here, you will find all the Android 12 custom ROM for your Realme X2 Pro (RMX1931).
It’s worth mentioning that most of the third-party AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROMs (also known as aftermarket firmware) come without any preinstalled Google apps package. You can manually install the Android 12 GApps by following our guide.
Warning!
GetDroidTips won’t be responsible for any kind of issue that may happen to your device if you flash it on another device and brick it. Do it at your own risk.

When that is done, you may reboot your device. Head over to Reboot and select System.
Your device will now boot to the newly installed OS. With this, we conclude the guide on how to install the AOSP Android 12 on Realme X2 Pro. Do keep in mind that the first boot might take up some time and you might have to set up your device from scratch.
Conclusion
Flashing the ported Android 12 on your Realme X2 Pro will give an early taste of the latest Android OS version. It looks like that the Realme X2 Pro model won’t gonna receive the Android 12 update officially from the manufacturer. So, it’s a good idea to get most of the features and visual treatment.
