Please keep in mind that this is beta software. These builds are sometimes not as stable as our official OTAs generally are. By installing this update, you accept the potential risks.
And please remember to tell us about any bugs you may find using the bug report forums, found here. https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/
Please note:
- 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.
- If you ARE NOT running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM found on the downloads page here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/
- 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.
- Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)
Make sure to let us know how you feel about the beta builds here in the thread too, we are watching.
Note: as it has been more than a week, you must have had a chance to check out all the changes in this version of OBT, please share your feedback by completing the below survey.

Sweet, thanks for 5T Open Beta 4!!
Personal wishes for the future:
- Light/Dark theme auto enable on day cycle, like the night mode on/off.
- Pick any custom color for theme accent. (Maybie link the few always red ones to the accent color as well!)
- Ambient display that is "always on".
- Visual gesture navigation feedback and sensitivity control. (still struggling to get the back gesture right.) It works alot better if not perfect in new betas!!
- Two fingers swipe up or drag and hold "back" for custom "navigation" gesture. Maybie use it to switch to last app, Google search or to turn off screen and such. Similar to what you can do with the hardware buttons.
- Launcher: Google Now page as an alternative to Shelf.
- Equalizer for Bluetooth output.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend [e]1f618[/e]
