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.

Thanks for the update @Manu J. !! 8.1 WOOHOOO!!! FInally those threads can stop!! New Ambient Display Styles :OOOO
For everyone in advance 
Note: Update Issues
-Signature Verification Failed Issue
Most probably you are facing the signature verification failed issue. If yes then try:
a)From the file manager enable show hidden files and head over to .OTA folder and delete the file in that folder. Now download the update with a stable network.
or
b)Download the full zip from OnePlus downloads website(http://downloads.oneplus.net/) or Funk Wizard's thread in XDA and flash from recovery via local upgrade.
-Impatient to wait
If you are saying that you didn't receive the update you have to wait since it's incremental as mentioned in the official thread.
a)Download OperaVPN and set the country to Germany or Canada and download via OTA.
or
b)Download the app "Oxygen Updater" from Play Store and follow instructions.
or
c)Download the full zip from OnePlus downloads website(http://downloads.oneplus.net/) or Funk Wizard's thread in XDA and flash from recovery via local upgrade.
