[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lartsch:
Quick update: As (I hope) no one is still using OOS9, this method must be considered deprecated.

Hello,

this is how to enable the McLaren fingerprint animation from the Oneplus 6T McLaren edition on normal 6T editions without a PC, root, module, app whatsoever (depends on the method you choose). You can also choose to disable the animation at all. For the McLaren animation OOS 9.0.9 or newer is needed since the animation files are included from this verison on. You just can't enable it through the settings app. If you ask me, the unlocking feels even faster with this animation!

Requirements:

OOS version greater than 9.0.9, OOS 10 does not work (if you want to disable the animation, any version will work)

Either the app below (no root), adb (no root), magisk or another root solution

Method 1: No root, on-device, super-easy

Download this app from Google Play.

Open it and confirm that "System table" is selected.

Scroll down and search for the line "op_custom_unlock_animation_style".

Touch the line and then press on "Edit value".

Enter "3" (no quotes) and confirm.

Enjoy. You can delete the app now if you want.

Can't find the line? Go with this:

Try to change your current fingerprint animation in settings and check the app for the line again (fully close it first). If there, continue above, if not continue below.

Confirm that "System table" is selected.

Tap "Add new setting". There will be 2 prompts.

Replace "NEW_SETTING" with "op_custom_unlock_animation_style" (no quotes) in the first one and confirm.

Replace "SETTING_VALUE" with "3" (no quotes) in the second one.

You should be good to go! If you want you can delete this app now.

Please note:

Some users reported that the setting didn't survive reboots when removing the app. Try for yourself.

I recommend not to mess with other settings if you don't know what you are doing.

Method 2: No root, adb needed

Connect your device and verify your adb connection by using

adb devices

Proceed by entering

adb shell settings put system op_custom_unlock_animation_style 3

All done!

Please note:

If you do not understand what adb is or how to set it up, please use method 1 from above.

Method 3: Root needed, Magisk module

Download the Magisk module .zip from the attachments below.

Install it through Magisk Manager.

Enjoy!

Please note:

There will be no module visible in Magisk Manager, no files modified and no boot scripts. To disable just select a default fingerprint animation through settings and to enable reflash the module. Don't know if TWRP flashing works.

You can alternatively use AnoopKumar's module to enable a full McLaren experience with bootanimation, fingerprint animation, wallpapers etc. Found here. Difference to my module: Enables the animation on every boot so it will overwrite your setting if you choose another animation but don't disable the module.

Method 4: Root needed, terminal solution

Open your terminal app of choice

Switch to root by entering

su

Enable the animation by entering

settings put system op_custom_unlock_animation_style 3

Extra: Disable animation at all

You can use any of the above methods

Just replace the value "3" with a non-existent animation number, for example "4" (if future OOS updates add more animations, you need to use a higher value)

Magisk module also available ("no-fp")

Extra: McLaren color theme

Head over to Settings -> Display -> Theme, and set it to "Dark".

Next, tap on "Accent color" and tap on the custom color icon.

Input the hex code "#E0610E" in there.

That's it.

Additional information:

The setting survives reboots.

You might have to try it several times to make it stick after reboots.

Some users reported that they needed to keep the app installed in order to make it stick after reboots when using method 1.

To disable the changes, just enable one of the default fingerprint animations through the settings app. This works the same way for EVERY method.

Hit thanks!
