[OnePlus X General] lost boy:
You're having a OnePlus X and you're bored up with his bootanimation, operating system and whatsoever? This guide is made for you.

View attachment 4435728​

Let's begin this with some usual advices :

I'm not responsible if you break your smartphone, if it stops working (properly or not at all) or if it blows up. You're attempting these modifications at your own risks.☣️

If you never heard about flashing roms, Gapps and whatsoever, pass your way. This guide is made for people that have at least a bit of knowledge in Android developpement and roms. ;)

This guide is made ONLY for OnePlusX devices. Everything I'm about to introduce to you worked on mine. :good:

You may brick your phone (If so, check the "Usefull Stuff section). :(

You're waranty may (is) void after these modifications. ☣️

Let's do this!

********** OPX Modifications **********​

So here are 4 different ways on how to modify your OPX system, make it look unique.

1. Alternative Roms​

So here we are, for our first step: OS modification

First thing you want to do is to replace the recovery menu of your OPX.

To do so, I invite you to check on the excellent work that Funk Wizard did. You can stop after step 3.

Once you did this, you want to download you're costum rom (personnaly Lineage) and download Gapps . You should always prefer Official costum roms to Unofficial costum roms.

Make sure you stored these files on an external micro sd.

Here you go, you're about to flash your costum rom :

Reboot into recovery mode

You can make a backup of your phone (optional) that should allow you to get all your datas back if you change your mind or if the flashing operation does not work.

Then go to the Wipe section and wipe your phone (All the unsaved datas will be lost)

2. Boot Animation​

So here we are, for our second step : Boot Animation Modification

If you don't see what a Boot Animation is, this is the kind of video that is played when you turn on your mobile phone (after the oneplus/android logo).

Boot Animation Example​

This step is somehow way easier than the first one. Thing is, you gotta be rooted first. Here is a quick step by step guide on how to root your device (Magisk root)

Root process :

Beeing a rooted user will allow you to have access to all your smartphone files and system. The process is pretty easy. You can follow this XDA Thread. All credits to them. Otherwise, here is a quick recap :

You're now a superuser!

Boot Animation modification Process :

Once that's done, you have two different ways to modify your Boot Animation :

Install an app that will make it for you, there are plenty of them, just take a look on the google playstore.

You don't find the Boot Animation you're dreaming about in apps. Then you gotta find the boot animation you want and get a file named bootanimation.zip once that's done, you want to open you're file browser (ES explorer works pretty fine once you've disabled all the notifications/pop-ups) enable root mode and go to /system/media. You'll find a file named bootanimation.zip. You can backitup, renaming it bootanimation.zip.bak for example. Then copy the bootanimation.zip file you've downloaded and paste it in this folder. Once that's done, reboot and enjoy !

You're done with this step !

3. Boot Logo​

And now here we are for our third step : Boot Logo modification ️

The Boot logo stands for the "OnePlus Logo and powered by android" picture that appears when you turn on your mobile phone.

Boot Logo Picture​

The hardest part of your work is to find the boot logo you want. Tanks to this guy at XDA, here are a few boot logo that you may enjoy. All credits are to this guy. Thx mate (If you don't find the boot logo you want, you can probably find some more on the internet. You're looking for a zip file.)

Once you've downloaded your new boot logo zip file, you need one more time to reboot into recovery mode. Hit the install section.

4. Battery Charging Animation​

Finaly, here we are, the last but not the least of our four steps : Battery Animation

This is probably the trickiest part of this guide, but thanks to [MENTION=5525731]Aaahh[/MENTION] work (credits to this awsome guy), and to me, this is way easier.

You can either follow his guide, or download the zip file I made for you. (Worked on a OnePlusX with LineageOs 14.1, TWRP 3.2.xx and Magisk root installed)

View attachment 4435711​

Once you've got the zip file stored in your device, you just have to flash it. To do so, reboot into recovery mode. Hit install, select your file and finally flash it.
