OnePlus has done an impressive job by redesigning the application folder style and Optimizing the Hydrogen window visual style in the very first Open Beta. This OS supports the English language too in addition to their traditional/simplified Chinese.

Since the Firmware is Official and is developed by OnePlus, the possibilities of Bugs are minimum. All you need to do is “choose the English language” and “remove the Chinese Bloatware”.

Read the tutorial below and enjoy the test of Chinese Android Oreo!

If this is your first time when you are installing a Custom ROM or an Official Firmware, we understand you would want to make sure that everything goes smooth. So before actually performing anything on your device, make sure to backup all your Data, Files, Contacts, WhatsApp chats and SMS.

We will be playing a clean flash; your entire data will be wiped clean — like a brand new phone.

Remember: All the custom ROMs, Official Firmware, How-to guides, tutorials, roots, hacks, and tricks mentioned on our site belong to the respective developers. We are not responsible if anything goes wrong with your device. Perform it at your own risk.
