[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] &roid:
I didn't bother rooting because I liked the official software just fine because it didn't have any bloat. I just flashed the software from the official OP page in the Hydrogen updater. I did hear that some resellers are installing international for people though, mine had hydrogen os. https://support.oneplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4360

The phone is certainly faster, but it's not going to floor you over a 6t. It is much smoother than a 6 and a 5t which I still own. The UFS 3.0 however was much faster when transferring files to and from the device, I noticed that immediately. On the current update, I'm really happy with the camera too. They fixed a lot of the low light issued and sharpness issues in regular lighting. I think the screen is slightly better than the 6t. I know it wasn't advertised really, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it looks and feels a little better. It's not night and day difference or anything, just a little better IMO. Maybee you'll recognize the same thing since you will have used both phones.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
Good info for all thanks!

I had trouble with the fps on the 6t but I live in a dry high altitude environment in Colorado so dry rough fingers. Reports say the 7 is much improved. Thoughts?

Did your model come with standard US charging brick? What model number? From where did you order?
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] &roid:
The fingerprint scanner really is more accurate. The only time I still have trouble is if my hands are slightly wet. I got the regular US type plug charger with mine. Mine was brand new and sealed from Oppomart. Mine is GM1900. 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
Yes I've noticed the wet or recently wet hand thing on the fps of the 6t, like if I washed them and my thumb skin is hydrated for a short time before drying it throws the sensor.

I also have the GM1900 on order (eBay US seller never_msrp $539 8/256) and hope to receive a US style plug. Reportedly the Chinese version vs Indian or EU version which would include the different plug type.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] arvindgr:
My friend has 6T hence I just compared it. FP Radius is much improved. (Approx. 6T - 0.5cm and 7 is 0.7cm),

Also Sensor is damn faster. I bet it's equivalent to my previous OP5 front hardware scanner. 6T is much slow
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] edong23:
I'm happy to see a lot of OP7 GM1900 users here. This is my first Oneplus phone and i really enjoy using. Bought mine from a seller in Macau for MOP3550($441) 8+256. No complaints so far about performance
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] moi123:
Same here! GM1900 as well - got it for ~$482 though mine was already flashed to Oxygen. Noticed the OP7 forums much quieter than usual, I guess most of the attention is on the more expensive and flashier OP7pro which is warranted, but to me this phone is like "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" !

Hopefully more dev's jump on the bandwagon and start showing it some much needed love.

All I need now is Magisk + root + adblock!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fr0d0#2:
Got mine for the same cost. Yes strangely quiet in here. Some confusion I think pre release before people knew there would be a Pro model. We definitely need more activity on this forum as this is clearly the superior phone ;)
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
Got my GM1900 and it had OOS Indian version installed. I updated with the Euro version of Oxygen and have begun my setup. Can't wait to start using it! I'm rocking a pixel 3a xl since I sold my 6t and it just doesn't compare and it's been wonky for me with root apps and Galaxy wear app for my Gear s3 watch. It's rooted using twrp boot, I didn't install twrp permanently. I'll update as things progress.

PS. The screen uniformity on very dim backlight is brighter on the right half of screen than left half but it's very slight. Probably won't be an issue.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
Just to let everybody know, the fingerprint sensor on the OP7 kicks the crap out of the 6t! It was one of my major complaints with the 6t. I haven't had a miss with right thumb in two days, awesome!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have a 7 Pro that I got on day one. I like it but I do miss the flat display from the 6T. I'm thinking about getting a red 7 from Amazon.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Those rather deep curves were absolutely unnecessary. It feels nothing less than a "mistake". If at all the implementation was to hold the phone better in the hand, less curvature could have also get the job done.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pankajghosh:
The OnePlus 7 is the chosen one now, Because of the Redmi K20 Pro high price all Mi fans are supporting the OP7 now.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Xioami unintentionally boosted the sales of OnePlus 7 by quite a margin.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] klym.software:
I find the phone hard to hold as it is. I cant imagine it being even wider. I appreciate them curves
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sheenswizner:
I am thinking to switch Galaxy s8 to One Plus 7.

Is it really worth compromising wireless charging, infinity display and waterproof!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kodrnusa:
I do not know about wireless charging because I do not use it. But infinty display is curved, which a lot of people (including me) do not like, and Oneplus 7 is waterproof : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwf4aNqJrv0&t=2s Just does not have an IP rating like samsung. But both do not offer a guarentee if water gets in... But the phone is a rocket... so fast..
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramheer:
I know how you feel, plus I find the regular 7 nicer to hold
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I hate the OP7 Pro because of the elevator cam and the rounded lagsung display.:rolleyes:
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sheenswizner:
Does it supports Dolby Atmos ?

I am talking about one plus 7 not pro!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
That "sung" display is way more less curvy and squarish in Note 9 and S10+ that does not bother... but prior to that in the samsung predecessors(s6 edge, s6 edge+, s7 edge , s8, s8+..) it was rather too curvy and had more disadvantages than serving any purpose, like how it is now in the OP7 Pro . "Community driven" OnePlus simply ignored the fact that literally no one asked for such a curved display in that community, in fact lot praised for NOT having such a display till OP6T.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quiex:
OP 7 also has Dolby Atmos,I bought my red OP 7 from Aliexpress.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan_Jacques:
I'm one of them. I planned to buy a Mi9 6/128, but for just R$100 more (around $25) I found OP7 8/256. Mi9 ~R$1800 OP7 ~R$1900. Now I'm waiting for the delivery and taxes (18 days at Brazil's customs until now).

The K20/Mi9T's price are quite high, and OP7 has undoubtedly better build and fat better system. I got a taste of OxygenOS running a port for Poco F1 and I loved it.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sheenswizner:
Thanks for the feedback.

What about the Default music player on OP7 like samsung have own fantastic Samsung Music app!

I am a Samsung fan because of beautiful higher resolution display(QHD) 5.8inch and very light weight & comfortable to hold, best camera of 2017, headphone Jack, Samsung smartv friendly and Specially it's IP68.

Right now I am facing issue with battery life which I don't like since last few months and even resell value also getting lesser day by day but still it's a very solid smartphone.

I have simple question to other people also.

Is Samsung Flagship s8(2017) still worth in 2019? Or it's the perfect time to switch to Oneplus7.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramheer:
In all honesty I personally think nothing beats the oneplus 7 or the 7 pro, both are flagships at different prices. I prefer the oneplus 7 because it feels more compact and just the right size
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nic2112:
I can't believe Amazon has both the 7 and 7 Pro, I think that's amazing.

If I can find a buyer for my S10, I'd probably get a 7. I'm concerned at how big the 7 Pro is and how unpractical that will become. If course videos look great I'm sure but I already find the Note 9 big so the pro would be worse

I like how it's still easy to find software for the 7 on the OnePlus site, and that it has android Q preview already.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
That's why I sent mine back and now ordered a oneplus7 .
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Just one more month and we might see the T variants.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Couldn't careless. Probably more expensive as well. I only paid $470 new.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GraveDigger176:
I switch from a 6t to the normal 7, for me by far the better choice as the 7pro. A friend of mine has the 7pro and I had in my hands for a couple of hours, the screen with 90hz is for sure a burner and sharp and fluidity, but the style of the screen reminds me on this ugly curved Samsung crap and the phone is too heavy. That's just my opinion on the 7pro. And the normal 7 is a really forgotten phone when you look how less development is here for it :(
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Indeed. It reminded me of the 1970s TVs hence why I returned mine and got regular 7.[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji106]View attachment 4809907
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] swehes:
Got the GM1900 12GB/256GB model. My issue is it came with only 95% of battery capacity. It will only charge to 3520 mAhs of the battery. So trying to figure out if they will replace the phone for me with one that has actually full capacity of the battery out the door instead of already lost 5% of the battery capacity.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
Same, and the size. There's no benefit from rounded display edges only for repair shops :p

Where is it showing these figured from? If using apps then they all show wrong figures.

[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Accubattery doesn't show the correct mah battery on modern smartphones. It's a know fact, it always shows less value.

Try it on other brands like samsung note 9 or s10 it shows lower mah.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan_Jacques:
I totally agree. I'm pretty satisfied with OP7. Blazing performance, nice cameras, good price and beautiful phone.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Definitely a nice all round device. I like it. However, judging by how dead this forum is , it seems to be really a forgotten one.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:

[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkubiDoo:
Yeah it's a pity we don't have more developers who could implement new ROMs etc..

I've been translating some ROMs before for my ZTE Nubia phone, but it was years ago and now it is magic :)

[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinto:
There is some love for us in OP7 Pro forum.

Just check, for example, XxXnolimits Magisk rom: it works for few Onplus devices
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkubiDoo:
Of course I'm using xXx + smurf kernel and Magisk :)
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
All the Devs took the 7 pro and I think that's no wonder because its the first time OnePlus made 2 phones at the same time. People wasn't sure if it's meaningful to take the "non pro". The only way now is wait and hope for some devs.

I'm not sure if something will happen here and that's why I switched to Mi 9T Pro now. Seems to be the better "7 Pro" for me. No curved display, it's smaller and it's much cheaper. And yeah I wasn't a fan of the "elevator" cam but I guess it's ok. But I will definitely miss the stereo sound!:good:
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CedArctic:
I'm debating on getting a 7 or a Mi 9T Pro. Sadly the dev scene here doesn't seem to have taken off yet and it's a shame 'cause that really is the only thing not tipping the scale to the 7's favor. Hopefully when we have stable LOS things will take off for other ROMs as well.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redbullman:
Well I keep on asking the oneplus7 pro forums about unified ROMs like we had on the 3 and 6 series. For some reason I get rudely ignored every time I ask. I've been on xda since 2010 but have never encountered such rude forum members as the pro lot. Seems all me me me. If it's not a new shiny rom to test they can't be bothered to respond. Quite surprised how rude they are. I've asked for devs to answer this important question and get ignored by them to. Really p*****g me off!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep, curved round edge lover United against us lol.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m_axic:
Does somebody know where the Oneplus 7t will be available? Maybe there is a chance that this will affect the active development for the 7.

Doesn't OnePlus bring a new phone out every 6 months?
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Noobkid77:
Absolutely can't wait to get my hands on the OnePlus 7 I've been mulling on getting the LG G7 but the bloatware just doesn't justify me choosing it. However it's a real pity there's almost no movement in this forum but that shouldn't deter future owners from purchasing this wonderful device I mean 2019 flagship chip set at $500 that's is ridonculous if I have to say so myself ??

The original post was on May and now it is September. I can get a new for ~$445 in my country. As the OP and some users said the development of 7 is not in a good position, would you recommend a new OnePlus 7 now?
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
As it stands for development I'd say no, but for a sheer slick speedy device with fast updates I'd say yes.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
I can recommend it regardless of development support, it's an awesome phone and even the first beta of Android 10(how much devices have android 10 official yet?) is nearly perfect :)

If not I'll will buy the normal oneplus 7.

[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Colday96:
I don't think they will become unified(7/7t). The 7t will have a Snapdragon 855+ which could lead to some compability issues.

back in time, oneplus did unified its predecessor-succesor device like 3 and 3T

The size of the phone is now diffenet too.So the fingerprint location is now diffenet aswell we had the issue with the 7/7pro unified ROMs becuase of fingerprint and camera pop up

Seriously, Is this phone dead? there's no roms and no Dev Support for this device. Since the launch there's no buzz around this phone and now the release of OnePlus 7T seems to be the final nail in the coffin. Honestly, this phone is amazing and IMO it deserves better Dev Support.

To all the OnePlus 7 Owners, what's your opinion on all this? Are you going to stick with OnePlus 7 or are you going to exchange it for 7t ?

I love this phone. Opted for it because it was a good price and not as big as the 7 Pro and supports all the bands used by t-mobile here in the USA.

For me I needed root and I use Nova launcher. I really don't have a need to change my phone more than that. So I am quite content where I am at with this phone.

I'm thinking of maybe getting this phone. Really want to over the Redmi K20 Pro. But I haven't seen many rom developments. Should I buy this phone? Will it receive some of the more popular roms like Havoc, PE, LOS etc? If not, I'd get the Redmi K20 Pro.......but I really like the OP7.

Please help me decide. Wanna make a good decision.

You can see how much development is in place https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7/development

It's your decision :)
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Madvx:
The rom development for this phone is very weak and imo non-existent at the moment. However I still consider OP7 non-pro the best device I have ever had and never got any major issue with the amazing piece of software that OxygenOS is. I had a Xiaomi phone earlier - great for the price/performance but MIUI is very lackluster and feels inconsintent and overbloated to me. If you don't need any very specific functions that exist only in custom roms (like using volume buttons to control music) then it is imo worth buying the non-pro. It's just so polished, fluid and contains the most significant customisation options you don't need to worry about anything unless you really want to mess around with it.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkFus10n:
Thanks for the reply!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PriPhaze:
Gotta agree with that. Even if the development is pretty much dead, since switching from Xiaomi to OnePlus I didn't feel the need to move from stock rom.

The original Oxygen OS that comes with the phone is really well polished that it made me completely forget about rooting and unlocking the bootloader; I used to do that always with Xiaomi but not anymore, there's no need.

Last Xiaomi I bought was the Mi9 Transparent Edition and I don't regret selling it to get the OnePlus 7 even if it is not the PRO version.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] murti52:
Yes absolutely.. Oxygen os is incredibly stable and smooth.. but i always felt a need for a custom kernel to get that extra battery and smoothness and thank god.. one of the best kernel (bluespark) is there for OP7
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pollie81:
You should look in the OP7 Pro section for custom ROMs, most activity is over there and lots of stuff is compatible with OP7.

I bought a Mi9T Pro which is the same as a K20 Pro and I'm going to sell it to go back to OnePlus.

After having a OP6 a while back nothing pleases me more then a OnePlus.

Sure, this Xiaomi is great value for money but it just can't compete with OnePlus.

Mainly because Oxygen OS is so much better.

I have to say, after using the oneplus 7 chinese version flashed to english android 10.0 , I am very impressed.

I had the original oneplus one, and the oneplus 3, along with various samsung and apple devices over the years. Hands down, the oneplus 7 is the fastest I have ever seen a phone run.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] geokilla:
I'm confused as to why we have lots of kernels for OnePlus 7 but not a single ROM. Is the phone that unpopular? Is that why it's so cheap on November 11?
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidtweaker1:
Instant Regret

Honestly regret buying the plus 7 after having owned previous OnePlus devices. No developer support which was the reason for getting this phone in the first place.

Next phone won't be a OnePlus for sure.

Edit: What's more hilarious or disappointing is thay the OG plus one has Lineages os 16 and this sidekick of a flagship killer has poor developer support.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redbullman:
I blame OnePlus completely. Until the 7, they only released one phone at a time guaranting good dev support. With 2 at the same time, the Devs have bought the pro. Even after this happened, OnePlus could have saved the OnePlus 7 Dev community by handing out free phones as they have done with previous OnePlus devices. However for some unbeknown reason they have elected not to do so this time. Essentially we've been screwed over by OnePlus.

You think we've got it bad, look at the 7pro 5g. People thought that was the one to go for but they're even worse off than us. At least we get regular updates!
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meltbanana:
For the moment it's a 1st world "problem", which is none, cause OOS (at least 9) is slim, pretty good and stable. But as soon as a device doesn't get updates that's not so nice anymore to own such a device. Sorry to find they didn't hand out freebies to developers, like f.e. Xiaomi does.

https://www.xda-developers.com/onep...w-1500-days-custom-roms-open-ears-android-10/

However, Oneplus compared to Xiaomi still feels premium from every angle And I even own a Poco F1, so I know the difference.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmunn:
A lot of phones don't really get moving with development until after their oem updates stop. That's when development will get traction.

Either way, a lot of times, really poor factory roms lead to a lot of development. In this case, the stock OS is really quite good.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] geokilla:
This isn't true. If there's no development after a phone's release, there's no development afterwards. OnePlus One still has some developers creating ROMs and kernels even though only a small handful of people still use that phone. This is because by the time the stock updates are done, the phone is at least 2 years old and developers have moved onto newer devices.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmunn:
The OP7 has only been out for about 7 months now, and there are 4 ROMS under development presently. OP released android 10 on the device about 2 months ago.

There is development present, and no reason to believe it won't go up some over time. That's hardly unsupported. True, it is not as much as more mainstream devices, but it's far from nothing.

We do have TWRP, and magisk and root already.

All the pieces are in place to develop on the device. Being that this is XDA, and all the pieces are in place, in the spirit of this community, if you have a problem with the scenario, by all means develop a rom.
[OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] I Just Did:
There was a post prior where someone replied that an answer would be found here. And there's no answer. XDA strikes again. I'll develop it. Who's hiring and provides OJT? hah!
