[OnePlus X General] Im_Mattgame:
Hello!

I was feeling helpful today so I decided to create a Guide on how to make your Oneplus X as similar as possible to the new Google Pixel phones, software wise.

So here we go:

Step 1

:Performing a backup of Data

I would recommend you backed up your data because this process WILL wipe it.

Here is a guide on how to backup your device

Step 2

: Downloading ZIPs

Okay, so here is the annoying part, downloading the actual ZIPs that we're going to be installing on your device. I'll do the hard part, finding all the links ;)

Rom:

Recommended version

If you are using my recommended version (first link) please make sure you have updated your bootloader to the latest version.

Google Apps (Play Store etc):

http://opengapps.org/

Please check these boxes for the best experience: arm | 7.1 | nano

SuperSU:

Google Assistant

Please download all three files provided in the download page

*Optional* Google Launcher / Dialer / Bootanimation / Ringtones:

After you downloaded those files, please move them to your SD CARD. If you don't have one, just move them as far as possible upwards.

Step 3

: Booting into custom recovery

This is probably the easiest step, simply power off the Device and perform the following action:

Long press the POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until you arrive into recovery.

Step 4

:Wiping everything

Unfortunately, because we are installing a new ROM, we can't keep all our data because it would conflict with the new version.

On the GUI of your chosen recovery, find the WIPE option and wipe System and Data. Make sure you don't wipe the place where you downloaded the ZIPs and where you may have backed up your device.

Step 5

:Installing ZIPs

Navigate to the "Install" section on your Custom Recovery and "flash" one by ALL the Zips we downloaded. Please follow this order:

[LIST=1]
[*] Rom | Cyanogenmod 14
[*] SuperSU
[*] Google Apps
[*]The all-in-one ZIP that includes Google Launcher / Dialer / Boot animation / Ringtones
[*] Google Assistant
[I]If you are not sure about a ZIP, I would invite you to look at the forum thread's steps.[/I]
[/LIST]

Step 6:

Done!

There you go! You have completed the installation process. You should be able to boot up the device and restore the backup. If you have problems. I'd invite you to look at the replies and if you can't find anything there, feel free to ask me.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with the geniuses who created those ZIP files.
I am merely trying to be helpful to the average user who is not very knowing in this field.
I would also like to say that I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
Your phone could be blow up* and start World War 3, that wouldn't be my problem.
