Settings - About Phone - Oxygen OS version.

Well now I wouldn't need to ask if it was that obvious.......I'm not running Oxygen OS, so it is not anywhere in settings > about phone.

edit: I guess those firmware version numbers I asked about are strictly OOS firmware numbers. I still can't find a way to see current firmware even on a non-OSS rom....

Hi,

I'm not quite sure how to phrase this but i'll try
I got a rooted OP3 with FreedomOS-1.6 and stock kernel *update* now on ElementalX.

I tried using Xposed wit Gravity Box but it didn't seem like it would "fit" (GUI crashes, wrong icon size in status bar etc.).

So i wouldt like to know if there is any way to further customize my device (Center Clock, custom quick settings, auto unlock after right pin entry etc...)

Maybe you can help me :good:

FreedomOS is a stock based ROM. If you want more customization, I suggest you go with a CM based ROM.

Hello Guys, coming from the G4. When i want to flash a rom, is the latest firmware required (3.2.6)? Or can i flash for example aosp rom with OOS 3.2.2? When i Upgrade Stockrom from 3.2.2 to 3.2.6 is root or twrp gone? Tanks

If you use systemless root, then unless your ramdisk is updated (that is you update kernel/boot.img), you shouldn't lose root. That said many ROMs do have their own kernel packaged in. TWRP however will stay unless your ROM decides to flash that too (I'm not aware of any that do).

As far as I know, ROMs are not compatible with all firmware (especially >3.2.4 & >3.5.0 CB).
So read the OP for the ROM you're planning to install. Firmware can be found here.

Hey there. Coming from the Nexus 5.

I was wondering if there is anything helpful you would have wanted to tell yourself when you got the OP3?

Any personal recommendations regarding custom ROMs or kernels? Thank you!

You might want to consider the latest Cyanogenmod, if that's the route you want to take. There are others, but CM is solid... and it offers decent updates.

I was just on 'reddit is fun' and other social media websites (no app too crazy to handle) and my phone turned off at 20%. I was just holding it and definitely did not push the power button. I was downloading Builds for Kodi earlier... perhaps this made the phone slow down and then eventually shut off completely?


I haven't done a full restart of my phone in about a week though... not sure if this contributes to anything.


Is this something to be concerned about?

I think it is unnecessary to cancel a ongoing download. But you van prevent/ delete download. To prevent it set the "Check for updates" on manual. To delete them tap the 3 dots and "Delete downloads" or via a file browser "CM updates".

You may be able cancel a download by force closing the CM Updater app. You can find it by apps, tap the 3 dots > "Show system" search for CM Updater > Tap it an "Force Close".

Hoped this helped, have a nice day.

Hi, If I switch to other Rom from Oxygen OS and then if I switch back to Oxygen OS. As my phone is rooted, will I be able to get update for Official OS upgrade?

You have to go back to complete stock for you to receive and install OTA. There should be no changes to your system files. So you will have to unroot first.

I found a working solution to stop an ongoing download.

- Tap and hold the download progress notification
- Then the notification settings screen for the Download Manager app comes up. Tap on the "i" on the top right
- Choose storage and then clear the app's data. Then the download is killed completely. I haven't experienced any disadvantages from clearing this app's data.

Don't forget to delete the file manually after that in /sdcard/download/ if it's big because the part that has been downloaded until killing will still take up space.

Add a line
ro.sf.lcd_density='value' to the build.prop,set the file permission to rw-r-r (644) and reboot.

Cheers! I can just do this within a build prop editor app then, without changing permissions.

This is one of those reasons I had to root my OP3 the very same day I received it so to run CM. The fonts and icons r simply to big.

One other thing, please. On the same OP3 community or official build, how to enable expanded desktop? If only thru Exposed, I'll just drop it.

Thanks again.

I just ordered my Oneplus 3. Where do I start as a reference guide in rooting and unlocking bootloader?

Hi!
Has someone else noticed the difference in terms of performance while using Snapchat with different ROMs?
Snapchat is super laggy on OxygenOS and takes forever to load. However, on both CM13 and 14 it's super smooth and fast. Am I the only one noticing this? What could cause this weird behavior?

Snapchat is fixed in latest CB 3.5.4 so you can expect the issue to be fixed in next OOS stable update
