OxygenOS Open Beta 4 for OnePlus 3T Mar 31, 2017

Adam Krisko , Mar 31, 2017 :

Hello everyone,

It’s time to release the next OxygenOS Open Beta for the OnePlus 3T.

First off, like Tony always says, thank you for your feedback and bug reports. If it wasn’t for all of your help, we would never have managed to grow and improve as fast as we have.

Release notes and feature changes in this Open Beta build:

• All new launcher, added support for shortcuts on 7.1.1
• Redesigned app drawer
• Redesigned UI for launcher settings
• Added status bar icon option to display real time network speed
• Added Notification Denoising
• Added Gaming Do Not Disturb mode
• Added automatic Night Mode
• Added Secure Box for file encryption
• Optimized touch latency
• Optimized camera EIS for videos
• Improved contacts management with linking and merge functions
• Added quick pay option for India
• Bug fixes and general improvements

I’d also like to add some basic info for a few of the features that are not self-explanatory.

Spoiler: Basic info

1. Redesigned UI for launcher settings
   1. We’ve simplified the Settings options and added another gesture to get to them quickly, a pinch motion from the homepage of your launcher.
2. Notification denoising
   1. This is to allow priority levels to be assigned to peek notifications and will let you grant only the most important apps and their notifications the ability to interrupt you. This feature can be found under Settings>Device>Notifications
3. Gaming Do Not Disturb mode
   1. This allows you to lock the capacitive and home buttons while gaming or in other apps where it’s easy to hit those buttons buttons unintentionally. This feature can be found in Settings>Advanced>Gaming Mode
4. Automatic Night mode
   1. You are now able to set Night Mode to activate and deactivate at a certain time or according to a specific cycle of day and night. This can be found under settings>Display>Night Mode
5. Secure Box
   1. This is for all files (including pictures and video) that should not be easily accessible to other people. It can be set up with its own pin, and once items are moved (by long pressing and selecting “set as secure” in the settings option) they can only be viewed in the secure box portion of the file manager. This can be found under Apps>File Manager>Secure Box
6. Quick Pay (India primarily)
   1. This will allow users to set up a QR-based quick pay feature that can be quickly accessed while the screen is either on or off with a long press of the home button. This will only activate right now if one of the following apps is installed: Paytm, Wechat, or Alipay. This can be found in Settings>Security & Fingerprint>Quick Pay

Please make sure you take a bit of time to fill out our survey on UX & UI here: https://goo.gl/forms/4QApN5zxV3IJ8Frd2.
The names of some of the new features may change based on your feedback!

Also, remember to tell us about any bugs you may find using the bug report forums, found here.

Please note:

1. If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta) you will receive this new build as an OTA.
2. If you ARE NOT running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions found on the downloads page
3. Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will NO LONGER receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.
4. Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)
5. If you want to clean flash this build and start beta testing please go here and follow the instructions: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_openbeta_4/

PS: I’m sure you’ve noticed that @Tony L. did not post this. For all future beta build posts, I will be the main point of contact. I’m currently in the process of taking over the Beta Program from him, so he can focus on the MP Early Access Program and future OTA versions of our software.
