One of their staff members has announced OxygenOS Open beta 22 for OnePlus 5, and Open beta 20 for OnePlus 5T on their official forum. It brings the major system update along with the change in UI, navigation communication improvements, gestures, etc.

Previously, OnePlus had released Android Pie based HydrogenOS, but that was for the Chinese variant 5 and 5T. OxygenOS is the international software, and that’s what you were waiting to see. Pie brings a large number of changes and new features. As noted on the official forum, the full change-log is given below:

Changelogs

System

  • Updated system to Android™ 9.0 Pie™
  • Brand new UI for Android Pie
  • Brand new navigation gestures (this is only for 5T)
  • Updated Android security patch to 2018.11
  • Optimizations for background app process handling

Do Not Disturb mode

  • New Do Not Disturb mode with adjustable settings

Communication

  • UI Improvements for emergency rescue
  • Optimized UI for speed dial and calling interface
  • Now able to assign a specific SIM for a specific contact or group of contacts when using dual SIM

Parallel Apps

  • Added support for more apps (Telegram, Discord, IMO, Uber, OLA) in parallel apps

Weather

  • Now able to switch dynamically to your current location
  • Display more suggestions when the search function is used
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the app from refreshing when the location is changed
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in some users being unable to find certain locations

The update is for those who were already running Open beta software. But those who are not in beta track, can download the OTA manually and install it using this guide.

OOS Pie update

Read ahead; we have download links for all necessary files along with the OTA link. Tutorials are given below with detailed steps. If you are the first time playing with flashing a ROM, please do read the entire article once before performing this experiment.

Note: This is not the final Pie update for OnePlus 5 / 5T but a beta build. The final update will come through a stable channel. However, we would like to inform you that, as far our experience, Open beta software from OnePlus were quite stable for daily usages. But since this is an Open beta, users can join the forum and drop their feedback if they get any bugs.

Being based on Android Pie, you will also get a brand new navigation gesture, but limited to OnePlus 5T users. This limitation is may be due to the capacitive buttons of OnePlus 5 for navigation. Do Not Disturb mode,
Weather improvements, Dialer changes, and Parallel Apps were redefined and improved for better performance.

If you had TWRP installed, we suggest you make a full Nandroid backup of your system. In case, if your experiment fails for some reason, you can simply restore them with your existing files.

Note: Please copy all the backup files to your computer so that you can restore them on your phone later. Once you are sure that, you are done with the backup, proceed to the tutorial below, and update OnePlus 5 / 5T to the latest firmware.

Method #1: How to install OnePlus 5/5T update manually using TWRP Recovery (clean flash)

  2. Now, connect the device to your PC using the USB cable (preferably, the official one, provided by OnePlus with the phone box).
  3. Copy and paste the downloaded zip file to the internal storage of your phone.
  4. Switch Off your phone and disconnect the cable.
  5. Press and hold Volume Down and Power Button together to enter into the recovery mode!
  6. Once you are in the TWRP recovery mode, perform a full data wipe by tapping on “WIPE” Button. Also, perform a factory reset by swiping on the “Swipe to Factory Reset” option at the bottom.
  7. Go back to main menu (TWRP Home) and tap on “Install” button. From the list, choose the zip file that you have copied in Step 3.

  1. Download the complete ZIP file from the table above.
  2. Transfer the file to the internal storage of your phone.
