Sweet!

I just received mine yesterday and I'm pretty freakin' excited. I recently had a Moto G4+ and an Honor 5X I ran CM on both. I've had an eye on OPO for awhile but it's so hard to get any experience with one in the states. I'm not ready to mess with it just yet but I would like to know of any cool tweaks or shortcuts as this is my first use of their OS.
Thanks for the n00b thread!

Is there anyway to get more accent color options on opt3.

Question:
If we use a different charging block like a Fast/Quick Charge from Samsung, etc. or is the voltage too wonky? Only use the OPO Dash Charge bricks?

Because the sorcery behind the oneplus quick charge is kinda different from Samsung and other brands, recommended is to use only its charger

There are no strict warnings about this but so for safety...

The quick charge retains and protect the phone from heating due to its design that the battery lives longer, maybe one can use other charger in case of emergency

This is what I'm using for the car and seems to be quite good
found a very interesting good in Gearbest?Original Xiaomi Fast Charging Car Charger http://m.gearbest.com/iphone-cables-adapters/pp_269157.html

I don't think so, I haven't seen any mods yet that can change colors other than those already built in, may in the future a kernel with Kcal support can bring some extra options

Excellent, good to know. I still have the discount from OPO to use so I'll probably just buy direct this time around but the info is much appreciated :good:

ive a noob question:

while on stock rom (oxygenOS), once i flash supersu on it, do i still get OTAs?
after OTA update i lose root. so i have to reflash supersu.

Yes you will and you'll be able to flash it with the cost of loosing the root unless you flash the SuperSU right away after the OTA

many thanks @xanthrax.
does the encryption cause problems once i flash recovery/rom?
its my first phone with encryption, so i thought i would decrypt it first via fastboot and then i shouldnt run into problems.

decryption will wipe my data partition, but not my internal storage. right?
or do i have to wipe the data partition alone, to lose decryption?

 

[xanthrax]

The decryption process requires data wipe which includes everything on the internal storage so save everything also , disable the security pin / password before before starting

Once decrypted you can flash any rom or anything you want, doesn't make any difference but keep in mind that flashing or updating the stock ROM ota will force the encryption, to prevent that you must flash a kernel which doesn't force it right after the ROM

I'm not sure which kernel is available right now, I'll, check, I'm still new to this op3t, actually, I'm waiting for delivery, still playing around with op3, but there's no difference between them

[control freak]

I wanted to ask that if I buy the phone in India, and may go to western countries like US, Canada. will the phone work with these countries 4G networks without issues? I understand one plus devices are carrier unlocked.

Thanks.

 

[TheSaboteurr]

Can I change the double vibration settings? Is there something like an xposed module for that?

 

[shail222]

Alright, two very stupid questions.

1) I'm new to the whole rooting experience with custom ROMS and MODS and Kernels so I was wondering, do you lose all your data every time you flash a different ROM or just when you initially root? I know backups should always be made in case something goes awry, but if I flashed a new ROM, would I have to reinput my pictures and contacts and messages, etc?

2) I see that there have been no ROMS created yet for the oneplus 3t in the forums. I was wondering how easy it would be to port oneplus 3 ROMS to the 3t. Could you use one of the few custom kernels that are already there and follow this technique? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmEl_9vwLzw

Thanks for the answers!

Flashing SuperSU after the OTA ..doesn't pass the encryption?....

Flashing SuperSU after the OTA ..doesn't pass the encryption?....

If your device has been already decrypted yes, flash the super SU right after the ROM and it should stay decrypted, don't boot up before flashing supersu

@shail222
1) flashing a rom can be done in 2 different ways, dirty flash, by wiping only cache and dalvik > it won't erase your data (apps settings and their data) nor the internal storage (files, photos, downloads ect... ) or clean flash by performing factory reset or from a advanced, wipe cache and dalvik and system and data > it will erase all your user installed apps (including their settings and data) and also won't erase your internal storage (as above) unless you mark it in advanced wipe to do so (be careful here...)

Each rom requires either clean or dirty flash, check its instructions

2) no, that's a gimmick... I'm not even watching that video, that's not porting, triggering suspicious thought only listening to that guy... Wait for developers to properly develop, not port the roms
Return here if you need more help

After installing twrp.. flashing SuperSU zip ..do we need also to flash the encryption disabler zip ? Or to format data to remove the encryption?....

Here I'm not 100% sure, I guess not, don't flash it, check if it stay decrypted, if not, restart the process
I'm still waiting for my device to arrive... I'll be more consistent afterwards [emoji72] I hope [emoji6]
