Can confirm. I'm on OB3 (everything completely stock) and using the Lawnchair launcher. The Google feed page lags badly when swiped from the launcher desktop.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
It runs better, more customization, no dumb alert slider, some funtionality that I need are embedded directly in the ROM, no need for Xposed or crap like that. And better battery life too. Too bad I have to give up on the gestures, but that's a loss I'm willing to make.

Also the new camera APK is as fast on Phoenix, so there's no difference on the ROM, it's just the new version that is faster.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flint2:
"Solved" wiping data and restore all apps, maybe old substratum was interfering, also with power menu rebooting UI
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
You raise very good points here.

I must say, I do feel that battery life was a bit better on phoenix too and it was great having features embedded in to the rom with safetynet working rather than xposed.

Regarding the camera APK AND as you say, what are you referring to? As in the snap camera apk that comes with that rom, or the OOS camera (that I believe was being made to work on it) or gcam?

Cheers
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paradoxxx:
Yeah sorry I wasn't really clear.

I mentioned before that when I was on OOS Beta 3 Gcam was faster at taking pictures.

But after restoring my Phoenix backup, and installing the exact same APK, it turns out it's as fast on Phoenix.

So the ROM had no incidence, it's just that new Gcam APK processes the HDR or whatever kind of magic is hapenming faster.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
Great to hear! And just to confirm, are you using the latest gcam or an older version like 1.4?

I see official Oreo is out

Has anyone used it yet? What changed from OB3?

Would a dirty flash be ok? (Or even just wipe /system)

This one I think :

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7.apk

You are right.. haven't noticed that yet but now that you say it. Is there any fix?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bwais:
I've noticed that after ob2 update.

I think they remapped the slider... Which is good because using it anywhere over 20% was too bright most of the time.

I confirmed with another device that full brightness is indeed the same.

So it's just a better more gradual mapping.

Just wondering if OP is working on fixing bluetooth controls (play/pause, skip..) and metadata? the controls from my BT headphones and car headunit sometimes works the first time it connects but almost always fails. also metadata are not shown on the headunit as some mentioned before.

this is the case with most music apps inc Spotify, GPlay music, soundcloud and Captune

Connected my BT headset yesterday after flashing beta 3 and it keeps getting disconnected and reconnected. This is very frustrating. Anyone else observed the same behaviour.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Indian Devil:
I am on Official Oreo build (5.0.2?), now i want to switch to Beta builds, my only issue is the flashing instruction says that the phone must be unlocked before updating, by unlock it means No Pin/Password or Carrier unlock? I don't think One Plus devices are carrier locked.

Also will it be a problem if i dirty flash from Stable Oreo to Beta 3 ( I have read that it should be find but still need a confirmation as i have plenty of data and it will be a trouble restoring it although i have done my backup).

Thanks
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joaoennes:
If you want to root you need to unlock the bootloader which will wipe your phone entirely.

if you just want the beta ROM without root you can just dirty flash it on top of official.

Is Beta 3 working good? Especially in battery department?

Can anyone please advice me on how to update from Beta 1 to Beta 3?

Note

I have root and want to keep root/re-root

I am currently on blu starks recovery

Do I need to flash verity? I don't want my data getting encrypted. Thanks.

(I am not sure but i think i did flash verity when i moved from 4.7.6 to OB1)
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
i think OB3 is better than oreo 502, swipe up to answer calls, nav swipe options, i think it had better battery management too.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Small bug I've noticed with gesture. When swiping up to view recents it sometimes studders to get recents to show properly and takes a few of them. While the swipe-up-stop and swipe up are similar I am certain I'm definitely using the gestures properly. Thus a small inconsistency. Otherwise their beautiful and a welcomed change. I really like the removal of the navbar.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

If your not sure you may be encrypted. However you have to flash the no-verity after the room flash. Going from OB1 to Ob3 I'd flash the full zip, flash magisk, flash no-verity. Wipe caches and reboot. Your ROM should remain the same as it was with no change other than being on OB3 now. It's what I did using the latest bluspark recovery in OP here. As far as battery life yes it's great.

I always keep coming back to OB3 after trying a custom rom. While these feel a touch faster, I mis the screen-off gestures and active display.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bubble-be:
So in short: complete wipe/format and going back to factory settings? I was so happy more and more roms were running encrypted, so I wouldn't have to go through that whole exercise.

I'm going to hold off a bit and reboot the phone (I also tried wiping cache) to get rid of the wakelock in the mean time.

Using the gestures, when I swipe up and hold to access recents, the animation shows the stock wallpaper (that comes as default on this phone) and then after a second it shows my actual wall paper.

I didn't think it was that big of an issue but it eventually turned into such an eyesore for me so I'm back to using the navbar.

Hi guys, just a few questions before flashing the open beta:

Based on post #3:

1. Can I just unlock the bootloader and use stock recovery to flash the open beta?

2. I can proceed on to flash TWRP and enable root. But wondering is there any benefit to flash TWRP and gain root if I'm not going to flash custom rom in the future.

3. Is there a way to downgrade/go back to stock rom?

4. If I'm on ob3, will I still able to receive official OTA updates, or just OB updates?

5. Do I need to flash any radio firmware?

Thanks in advance.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] andersonaragao:
Choose new wallpaper and Reboot. It will fix your problem for now.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
1.) Yes

2.) There's more to root than flashing custom ROMs that's up to you

3.) Search. I have no interest in going back but I think there's some extra things to do beyond just flashing an older zip.

4.) OnePlus specifically answers this on their own website. I swear people don't search. There's two upgrade paths. One is official and one is beta. If you flash beta you're on the beta path and will NOT receive official updates

5.) Firmware is built into the OB1 beta IIRC.

You're welcome for being lazy...:silly:
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
If your not going to root just download ob3 full zip and manually update from within the update feature. Settings - system update - gear at top right - local update and find your download. The system will do the rest and you'll be on ob3. That's what I did and then I unlocked BL and rooted afterwards. I wanted certain features I can't get with lock BL but instead till encrypted and magisk takes care of safety net so Android pay and bank still works ?. Enjoy
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How did you get your bank to work? I can't seem to get mine to work on OB3 and magisk. Im with Lloyds in the UK if that matters..just tells me they're detected root even with magisk hidden :-\
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Hmmm that's odd. You are encrypted right? I use Bank Of America and it passed safety net. Just got a warning that I had developer options enabled but works nonetheless. I'm not sure how your bank can detect root with magisk bc it's designed to hide and preserve safety net.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
Think it depends on the bank. I'm with "B" (Yorkshire/Clydesdale Bank) and works without issues, but my Vanquis app doesn't work (though in the changelog for this app it even says custom keyboards can stop it working, let alone root).

Man whatever I do, I cannot flash beta 3 at all! I have two 5Ts, a red one and a black one. Red is decrypted and black in encrypted.

Both running pheonix ROM.

These are my steps for encrypted one:

Full wipe except internal.

Flash beta 3 zip.

Reboot to recovery.

Flash magisk (tried flashing custom kernels too a few times)

Wipe cache

Now when I reboot, it takes me back to bluspark twrp and just won't boot into the ROM. Exact same issue on the red one.

Now I've been flashing ROMs for a very long time and had a million bootloops but I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong here
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unn113:
If You are encrypted with 8.1 rom, and want to downgrade to 8.0 ROM, you have to format data partition (internal storage), as there are different encryptions (keymaster3 in Phoenix, and keymaster1 in OOS). If You want to flash OOS on decrypted one, it automatically wants to encrypt it, You have to flash no-verity zip to prevent encryption, or Your data will get corrupted.

So rebooted to bootloader and via PC flashed latest Blu-Spark recovery, wiped again OB3 and wanted to restore my nandroid. And this is where I got stuck. Phone didn't boot and was just on spinning logo screen. I rebooted it back to recovery and now I don't get an option to decrypt it and don't see my sdcard at all. Please help.

i'm not sure if you quoted the correct person.

what i'm referring to what the other user mentioned below, upon flashing beta 3, u cant reboot to recovery. u have to boot to system, and subsequently flash twrp from fastboot to replace the stock recovery, before flashing magisk. below is my additional steps in italic.

"These are my steps for encrypted one:

Full wipe except internal.

Flash beta 3 zip.

Boot to system, set up etc.

Reboot to fastboot, fastboot flash twrp.

Wipe cache"

ok so it wasnt a f2fs issue

ive been running f2fs for a month now

ext4 gives better Seq Read , F2FS gives better random write (by 10000 iops)

other than that the benchmarks show not much difference, infact i think better read is better for the /data partition, yes we do write to data but opening apps and files require better read than writes.

AFAIK ROW sched reflects this by prioritising reads over write.

unless the kernel im using has bad F2FS management i will keep testing.

not sure if its worth going F2FS at this moment, results dont seem much different if any at all to EXT4
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:

Hi, i am new to one plus 5t. Just sold my Pixel 2 and got this awesome beauty. I unlocked bootloader, flashed sparks twrp and rooted with magisk. At the moment using flash kernel. I am on stock op5t_O2_open_3. What is the process to update future releases? And are the files you are offering here stock as on my device? Is my understanding right that if my device says there is an update then I have to download it from your given server and flash it through twrp?

Sorry for noob questions, I am coming from nexus and pixel, one plus 5t is new to me.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flint2:
To update future releases, once you see it in the forums or receive OTA notification (system will detect root and will offer full download) , you will need to flash full ROM from TWRP, and without rebooting system, flash Magisk to continue using root and not loose TWRP.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] persieghini:
The problem with ota updates is....if u choose to install directly from the settings page...it will flash the ROM and restart immediately...causing you to lose the custom recovery (which gets replaced by the stock one)

I advise u to download directly from the settings updater....browse to the file (enable hidden files in file manager>root>sdcard>ota) copy it somewhere else....reboot to recovery and flash ROM+root(is a must if u don't want to lose the custom recovery)+add-ons...

OR

Download the zip file from this thread/website and go ahead flash normally as u would along with root option(magisk or su) (to keep the recovery)
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Daandofreak:
First of all billion thx for this great explanation. One more question, I forgot to make a backup of stock boot before flashing flash kernel, is this stock boot img inside this full OS file so I can extract it like I have always done this out of Google factory image and flash it through twrp? Only in case I want to try other kernels or trying stock kernel.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flint2:
To go back to stock after trying customs kernels the safe route is to flash whole ROM, because some custom kernels also modify system. To be sure ask in the custom kernel thread.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
I agree with [MENTION=4677583]Flint2[/MENTION] but as flash is now systemless then theoretically you can extract the boot image and flash it.
