Oxygen 2.1.2 Update, Did it worth it? - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I bought a new one plus 2 and it ask me if i wanna to update the the new Oxygen 2.1.2.
Did it worth it? i mean if this update improve some things or its not stable as the version before?
Thanks!

Honestly, the answer is not that simple. For me like many people, it improved stability and camera performance. But many also stated, that it was buggier than 2.1.1. I would say, see for yourself. At least it should not have any major downsides, except for the starting a phone call when it will not remember the last SIM you used.

For me it is the only reason I switched back to oxygen from hydrogen. It is much smoother for me and I haven't had any issues with stability.

I thought I read on here that the update is going to be in two stages, one preparing the phone and the other giving us 2.1 which was pushed back to June. Maybe this is just the crappy update.
I don't believe that bull****. Just another rumor.
Also can someone enlighten me what the hell means this: "and could cause seizures in small pets" ?

yeah they really could have been more specific in what they mean by "small", are we talking hamster size seizures or Yorkshire terrier size seizures?

that's crazy talk
Anyway I was asking myself :
Assuming that almost every member/reader of this forum would have tried at least once to install a custom ROM on their Hero, what to expect from the Official 2.1 update ?
Will I be sticking with it ? Will I wait for Villain/Kimera/other ports ? Assuming also that custom Roms will never be 100% stable...
Because from my experience with custom roms (and I've installed A LOT of them on A LOT of devices), it's allways about finding a compromise between speed and stability...
Yep, it's wednesday morning and I really don't wanna get to work...
I think when this 2.1 update comes out (probably won't happen soon, not even friday, as we all know HTC) this only may help custom modders in the stability of their roms, nothing else I'm guessing.
Wouldn't that be the Sprint Hero anyway?

Hmmmm,.... Well I haven't had the experience of swapping and changing ROMs on my Hero,... But having had it for about 2-3 months now, I'm still 100% happy with the speed and stability of the ROM I flashed to it on day 1, ... MCR3.2. I think I'v had 3 or 4 application force closes, and only had it freeze up forcing a re-boot ONCE!!!
I'm sure the custom 2.1's will be just as stable once we get the official ROM to use as a base.

Yes, I would assume so.
I'm not really looking for a more stable 2.1 rom. I just want the speed that is in the 1.5 roms. Since i've heard the 2.1 should be faster the the previous versions I have high hopes får the official release and that the dev can make the most out of it.
jpalo said:

So it wouldn't change anything, would it? I mean, don't we already have ROMs made from the Sprint Hero leak?
Hopefully this news would be true. I'm also looking forward to 2.1 rombut not because of its new capability but actually for developers in enhancing making the 2.1 rom using overclocked method

Same here
Hope that devs wil make some nice looking and fast rom out of it.
And no way i;m flashing it on my G2. Lucky that the gold card procedure worked out for me.
Am @ Chpoubs_4.1 it looks amazing

I just really hope the battery life will improve.
Current 2.1 ROMs are already quick and stable enough for me, I wish the battery would last longer though. Aside from that, there are only a few minor bugs in most 2.1 ROMs that are currently out there, which do not really bother me.
Its not the 2.1 ROMS that are the problem its all down to the Kernel,which no1 has!surely if it was coming soon then it would have leaked somehow!
if you follow the link from the article it says sprint hero...

Miui 7 updates

Hi, I'm using the MIUI 7 rom from gtbluesky.
The rom is great and everything, but there is something really annoying me: the automatic weekly updates!
Is there a way to stop it from being automatic? I love the rom the way it is and I don't need to update so frequently (and waste time reinstaling gapps and other configurations).

You asking in the wrong place. MIUI is considered a joke around these parts. Your best bet would be to ask on the MIUI site. Just a heads up, the updates are needed to fix things they break each week.

Hmm, I see.
It shouldn't, MIUI has just another way of work, I think. I personally prefer Cloudy G2, but my wife needs no personalization, just a simple system that works. And, by the way, the battery works better than any other room I've tested...
Thank you anyway :good::highfive:

You have to understand the history behind miui. It's mostly developers that consider it a joke. Users that like ios like it.
As for a simple system that just works. Don't look to miui. There are always bugs that need weekly updates to be fixed and some never work right.
If that is the case leave her on stock.

Bullseye! I'm trying to get her out of iOS, kkkk.
But you are right, I think I should leave stock or cloudyg2 to keep it stable and just change the launcher for a iOS-looks-like.
And control the apps she will download...

New version out now. See new thread

Good stuff mate!
Question: what happens if you hide the navigation bar? I mean, how did they replace Back - Home - Recent buttons?
Aaand: is there a dark theme built-in by chance?
Thanks!

When you hide the navigation bar, you slide up from the bottom to get it back when you need it.

Yeah. It shows as 7.0 -- all of the specs show up wrong. This is true with prerelease builds on other Huawei phones as well.

I use to be a "gotta have it now" and would flash pretty much any rom that came along, when I had the Dell Streak 5, and the Galaxy Note (1). Since I got the Mate 2, then the 8, then the 9, I haven't flashed anything but OEM official builds, haven't even bothered to root or screw with it.
For me, my experience with Huawei, their roms have been so stable, I haven't had the urge to jack around with it. I don't mind you guys doing it though, makes it easier for us old timers that don't want to bother with it anymore.

Me too. There really isn't anything else for the Mate if you wanted to flash at least officially or on here. But yeah, I can't really think of anything I want that it doesn't already have. Nothing I could really improve. I thought I was all 100% for the Pixel 2 but now I'm thinking Mate 10!

Of course, everything I want but even faster and longer lasting. Less body to screen ratio is always welcome too. Tmobile's new 600 mhz support would also be great.
I would want Wireless charging, then I would upgrade to the Mate 10, if not I will keep my Mate 9.
I would like to get a current Security patch though
@duraaraa
Hi mate,
What is the kernel number, is it still 4.1.18 or it got up to 4.4?
Do you actually feel any real life difference in general at all between Nougat and Oreo?
Do you think that stand up time/drain has improved as to the few wake ups restrictions in Oreo?
Anything significant that you like/hate or is changed?
Thank you for your reporting here!

The kernel version is showing as 3.10.20-20436-468, built on Sep 14. Security patch is September 5. Whether or not it's reported correctly, I don't know.
I'm not really using it as a daily driver, but it does feel a little bit different. Some of it may be because of Android O, some of it may be because of EMUI 6. It seems smoother, but that's so objective.
Drain seems better than before, but I haven't done an actual scientific comparison.
I've not yet found anything major to like or hate.
Some other people are installing this build now, so hopefully they will chime in with their opinions.

LAST MIUI 10 For A2

Someone tell me if this version of MIUI that is the most recent also works like the tutorial https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603847531
Instead of using this one that is older, and so be able to update with XIAOMI EU without any doubt https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903997427

First off. It's a new experience and modding your phone is one the reasons for being on xda. Curiosity.
Secondly. It offers so many nifty features in comparison to stock that I actually started liking it. And the animations are really nice.
Finally. It's nice to have a change once in a while. Using the phone everyday with the same UI can get boring.
I have no idea why I took so much time to answer your question seriously.

Are we getting Android 10?

I've looked it up online but couldn't find any solid answers, I'm currently on MIUI 11 but on Android 9
It's global version tho, as far as I heard 9t pro got Android 10 based miui11
Yes, youll get it, theres already the beta out for it

Youll need to unlock your bootloader, flash twrp and flash xiaomi.eu rom, if you want other languages than chinese and english
All your data will be lost tho, so Ill advise to make a backup

Mind if I ask, what's the difference between miui11 that based on Android 9 and 10
Since this isn't stock Android we are using, should I expect something major?

Not really. I have been using the beta for a few weeks (it's very much useable as a daily driver) and it's... MIUI shrug. Feels a little smoother for me. But all the big changes 10 brought, well, not much left of them. The Gesture Nav is there but I don't use it because I'm just too used to my three buttons. Dark Mode is there but it's not very mature IMHO since it also 'colors' websites for me and makes the notification bar invisible on certain occassions.
In short, I'm not sure if I could tell the difference immediately if you gave me a 9T with 9 and one with 10. So nothing to be nervous about - it'll come when it comes.
