If the Color OS 7 is not satisfy you, then you can root your mobile and flash Custom ROMs. When flashing Custom ROMs, you should check the working and non-working things. Most of the Un-Official versions are not bug-free. When you are a Developer or regular root apps user, you can follow the below guide to root your device.
If you are a regular user, You don’t need to root to enhance the performance. The reason is you hate Color OS UI, Wait for new Realme OS. They are working on a beta version. Soon you will get the update. Why I am saying is, After the root, you will not get the official updates. Also, Rooted mobiles need regular manual optimizations.
