ROMS from the OnePlus 7 Pro to the 7T - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Looking at the 855+ it looks like it's just an OC'd version of the same processor.
Would u right to assume it's going to be able to accommodate the OnePlus 7 pro ROM's?
Perhaps the cameras may differ, if read that the rear are identical, not sure on the front. The mechanism is certainly missing.
Shouldn't affect functionality of the ROM though.
Excellent device it would seem, for as device that mimics another which is 100+ more in price and still for sale.
Good times if you're in the market.
I just might invest.
Anyone else ordered it?

After being a Nexus/Pixel loyalist since the Nexus 4, I think it's finally time to switch to OnePlus. Probably going to get the 7T. I'm pretty sure the 7T will get the same treatment as the 7 Pro's ROMs.

It's on my list with high priority. Only thing I'm afraid is the development. What do you think?

How many threads do we need with this question?

Not sure I've got the p20 pro now and although it's decent enough. It's locked down.
I miss my OnePlus. I think there will be sold kind of unified development hopefully.
It is a beast of a device and the price is right too

Defo mate. Only thing you'll miss is the superior camera but the difference isn't massive.

Absolutely will miss it. Everything else sounds better than the new Pixel. To me UFS 3.0 is more important than a camera. Pixel is rumored to still have 2.1. :/

Not even sure what my phone is? P20 Pro?
Would that be a big enough factor to make you choose one over the other?

Should i buy it? or one plus 5?

Hi all,
Im looking for a new phone, i currently own a redmi note 3 pro, but i want a better phone overrall, i always loved mi mix, altough it was too expensive for me and a bit too big, plus the camera isnt that great..
Well, mi mix 2 was announced, kinda disappointed in some way, but i still like it, camera is good (could be better), dont care about no headphone jack, only thing that i would really like is the double camera, on the other hand, there is one plus 5, ~100€ less than mi mix 2 on gearbest, great phone overall, nice camera, but the design isnt as good as mi mix 2....
Well, im sure some of you guys have the mi mix 2, do you recommend it or should i go for one plus 5 or another phone?
Also i was looking now at the LG G6, looks cool too.

Well I couldn't resist and already bought the mi mix 2 on gearbest, but I made the mistake of buying the 64gb when the 128gb was only 10€ more, only saw it after, thanks for the feedback tho, got me more confident.
Hopefully we get some custom roms like lineage soon.
Does it come with tempered glass? If not where I can buy one
Definitely Mix2 is better than OP5
Well, I'm in the same place as were you, ShadyGame, but I'm more patient
MI Mix2 is beautifull for me, my only concern is about GPS accuracy (I know Mi5 had problems), so I wait for some owners opinions

I couldnt resist too and bought the device also on gearbest today. Im curious when it will arrive.
It will be my first xiaomi device so im also curious about MIUI and the rom development for the mix 2 ..
I hope it wasnt a wrong decision to buy mi mix for 520€ instead an Galaxy S8 for 520€ too ^^
I purchased one last week, have the Redmi Note 3 Special Ed. Was tossing up between this and the Oneplus5 as well.
Hope it arrives soon, any thoughts on staying with the ROM it comes with. Here in Australia if I root or unlock the phone my banking apps will not work.

i have a redmi note 3 pro, it was awesome, but i cracked the screen and i want something top line xD
galaxy 8 here costs like 800€ in my country, simply not an option when i can buy mi mix 2 for 530.
I own both currently. The OP5 is much lighter and the Oxygen OS is much more stock. The MIX2 just looks more modern with the bezeless design. Talking about weight again, the MIX2 almost makes my hands tired holding it for a long time compared to the OP5. The ceramic is absolutely beautiful, but don't know if its worth the weight since you cover it up with a case almost immediately. Performance wise, they are similar. Both are snappy and get stuff done. Camera wise, both aren't as good as the top flagships, but they do the job sufficiently.
OxygenOS is WAY better than MIUI. It was just easier to setup with launchers and the interface is just cleaner. I was having all kinds of trouble with notifications with MIUI, but I finally have it working right. Maybe things would be different with the global rom?? Who knows, but I can't wait for some alternate ROM to show up to clean things up. My final decision is going to be to stick with the MIX2. Reason being I can't stand the 4 year old design that Oneplus stole from apple.

I dont really care about the OS when im buying a new phone, i know i will be rooting it and installing a stock rom, hopefully we get lineage soon...untill then ill stick to MIUI is not that bad in my opinion.
What do you guys think how long will this device live?
I am still using a Oneplus One, which is pretty old by now - so I tend to settle on phones and only switch once something is broken or I'm really impressed. Development for Oneplus One ROMs / Kernels is still going on, because it was a highly anticipated phone and had many users. Is the Mi Mix 2 compared to the OPO a niche product?

It will live untill you break it xD, i mean, look at that screen, never gets old, with snapdragon 825 and 6 gigs of ram i think it will be a good phone for the years to come...the only thing i wish it was better is the camera, from what i've seen, still didnt receive mine, but i dont expect the quality of an iphone or s8, or even LG v30.

Battery size ?

They were rumors of a giant battery going into the next OnePlus phone 4,000mAh. But I haven't heard anything about that recently. And if the 5t is matching the Oppo phone, it most likely will just have a small 3,200mAh battery.
Any updates.
Nothing concrete yet. But if you look at the 3/3T, the battery increased from 3Amp to 3.4Amp.
I heard it will get the same batterysize than pixel 2 xl (3520mAh) which would be good but not great. 4000mAh would be insane.
Cant decide between Pixel 2 xl and upcoming OP5t at the moment ^^

It would be crazy if they matched the Razer in size, but I doubt it. 3500 sounds more likely.
After seeing how mediocre the screen quality is on the 2 XL (and horrible blue shift), it's completely out of the running for me.

After owning the op5, op3 and p2xl, if you like the speed of oneplus devices, stable twrp, and the multi-tasking abilities... Then stick to oneplus. If you want amazing camera, good speakers, fast updates, but crappy memory management, get pixel..
They are both fantastic devices.. But I miss the smoothness of my oneplus devices.

yas if the op5t is at least 3500mah and more RAM. Thats what im going with to get me out of this s8 curved screen nightmare even tho it was free. I could care less about a camera I grew up in an era where the camera on the nexus was eh at best. For me as long as it takes good pictures of documents etc im happy. If i wanna take real pictures I use a real camera.

You know what Sure, why the hell not! I prefer the comfort of "more than I'll ever need" and laughing at all the people who said 3GB of ??? was overkill.

Pixel 3a xl vs S10e? Which one is better if price is same?

Hi, looking to switch up from my iPhone X to an android device been years since I was on android full time. The phone that has really got my attention has been the pixel 3a xl and wanted to ask in the uk an used s10e off eBay is the same price as an pixel 3a xl. Considering both are at the same price which one is better and why?
Thank you

In terms of raw power, S10e. Quality tends to be pretty great with Samsung these days. I, however, highly value a clean Android experience and can't stand ONE UI from Samsung (this is just me though, and I know taste differs, so it's pretty subjective). I do think there's a superior camera experience with the pixel as well, and software support is obviously better with pixel. Longevity can be an issue though, since many pixels have had performance issues over time, so it also depends on how long you're planning on holding onto your phone.
If you want a premium style device, S10e is hard to pass up. If you like the feel of their software, then even better. If you want a more vanilla feel for Android and best camera experience and are ok with the possibility of the phone being a tad slower for the sake of software support, pixel is your go to.

You could install a custom launcher to make it feel more like a pixel, and you can use a few apps and tweaks, but you will still see certain differences in the end, since these mostly apply to your home screen, but not certain UI elements. Samsung does lockdown some of their theming abilities to their own proprietary services. I would recommend finding a demo device or a device from someone you know the has Android 9 pie on a Samsung device and see how you like ONE UI. Like I said, if you don't mind it, the s10e is a pretty safe choice for you. I know a lot of people describe the pixel as more similar to an iPhone experience, so if that is important to you, the pixel will probably be a safer bet.

Instead of doing this just get the Pixel.
If you wanna make it look and behave like the Pixel, then just get the Pixel. Makes much more sense, right?
I just switched from an XS Max to this Pixel 3a XL and I already enjoy the phone way better than that iPhone. I used an s8 + before and I like Samsung but the updates are slow in comparison and that matters a lot to me.
See what matters to you and get whichever one covers that. The first response to your question is excellent in differentiating the two. Cheers!

I personally agree. I think pixel is the best way to go, and rooting Samsung devices can be a tedious and frustrating process since they have a flash counter
Thanks for all the useful replies by everyone, much appreciated.

A pixel 3a xl is brand new £470 and there are plenty of Samsung s10e going for around £450 on eBay in almost new like condition. Remember reading recently that Samsung phones have the highest depreciation percentage of smartphones so you can pick them up relatively cheap compared to its RRP.

Would you ever buy a oneplus device again?

I don't know about you but my answer is NO. This thing did not live up to my expectations at all. The specs read like they are all premium but the device is low quality at best. Using the device is an actual nightmare. The camera is a blurry mess, the GPS never locks, the file system is crap and freezes up when you try to load things. I bought into the gimmick and I lost... Anybody want to buy this piece of junk for a low price so I can buy an iphone and just have something that works?
OH... the bluetooth constantly bugs out... another thing that annoys me every single day.
I like the phone just don't love it. My Pixel 2 XL still feels better when I pick it up. What chaps my hide is when my photos disappear or when my phone app just disappears when I'm talking to someone.
The 7T is just perfect. But I won't buy newer phones if they have display a la "Samsung Edge". I hate the curved one.
I found the 5T to be super premium build quality. It's amazing. The Pixel 2 XL I bought at the same time was absolute junk. It had a noticeably poorer build quality and a really bad OLED screen.
I am getting a 7T Friday and will see if they maintained the great build quality (although I had an 8 Pro I returned for a week and it had excellent build quality like my 5T). I can't see where the OP is coming from regarding it not feeling premium? Is it just an OS perspective? I only ran OOS on my 5T for a couple weeks before switching exclusively to AOSP.
Sorry but this is nonsense! your argument is vague and silly. what is "low quality"? I still have my oneplus one, the oneplus 3t, oneplus 5t, all working good and now a 7t, which looks great and is great....
Absolutely yes! I find my 7T is perfect and worthy for the price paid. I don't have any issues or hardware errors.
Rooted and using a custom kernel
I don't know actually. I find the OnePlus phones to be still very good, but I'm kinda disappointed on how the team is struggling to keep them updated since they began to release lot of phones every year.
Plus, I like the improvements they made with the camera on the new OP8 Pro, but I want a phone that is totally comparable to iPhones/Galaxy phone in that area if I have to spend 900+ euros.
The 7T is literally perfect.
This is my first OP phone and I'd say - yes. I hope there'll be new OP phone without curved display.
If they release reasonably priced phones with flat screens. The price for the 8-series is too much considering it's a tencent phone.

I would gladly pay $1000 for a flat screened 8 Pro. But it doesn't exist and the S20+, even ignoring the terrible OS skin, is $1350 from Samsung unlocked. That is just too much for basically the same phone and a crippled software experience. And the S20+ has a curved screen as well! Although not as bad as the 8/8 Pro.
I have been with OP for the last 3 months, 7T is my first OP. Feel happier than with the other chinese brand X (4 years with them).
I recommend the OP, but please no pop up camera and curve edge.
I have to agree with the OP.
I'm having the exact same issues they are. Since most are software related I was hoping updates and custom ROMs could fix,a real shame there isn't any development for this device
For me 7T is almost perfect. I love it. If only battery and average stock camera indoor pic were better. I love to tinker my phone so with gcam , camera issues are solved ?. Since I don't game , so battery is enough for me to last full day with 20% left. YMMV.
I went from OP2 to HTC U11 to OP7T. Have no regrets. Will purchase OP9T if there are no better alternative. I change my phone every 2 years.

Yes, there are as far as I know just 2 ROMs out there... Neither work with MMS on Verizon.
If you have another recommendation would love to hear it- for me just looking for stability and speed.
Thanks for everyone on this forum helping make the device great!
Yep, had three... OnePlus One, 6T, 7T (bought the 7T when the price went down, sold the 6T).
I don't buy them when they first are released. I wait until a new one is about to be released, then pick up the previous years model
typically at a reduced price.

There are three ROMS available right now. I would recommend Omni for speed and stability, but not sure about your specific use-case.
IDK, no matter what setting I pick, the ringtone for google messages does not work and the do not auto update option in playstore does not work. This is only an issue on the 7T.

Question Buying advice, OnePlus 9 Pro in 2023?

Hey all! I looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6. I am interested in custom roms (LineageOS/Microg) and the free availability of the MSM tool to help me in the case of bricking.
Is a new OnePlus 9 only (latest) phone left on the market that can still do this, or is it a dying breed?
How are people liking the curved edge of the screen? Are accidental touches a thing with a case?
Is battery life a problem, or would a custom rom and lowering the clock of the processor via root be necessary?
Is 8GB RAM enough? I'm not into gaming.
Any other issues I should be aware of, such as the upgrade to Android 13?
OR, would it be smarter to look elsewhere, even a OnePlus 10/11 and simply "debloat"?
Thanks!

No, for on going future high performance with new OS versions, updated apps, Etc.
I recommend the One Plus Pro 9 as well. Went to bestbuy several months ago and they ordered it for me. Best phone I ever used plus very easy to root / twrp.
I love mine, and bought it used at swappa. Get it.

Congratulations! Enjoy
Great...after I ordered it, the vendor says they made a mistake and there was no stock to begin with, so I got refunded. So much for inventory tracking systems...
Now I have a choice of a Black OnePlus 9 8gb/128gb or a Black OnePlus 9 Pro 8gb/128gb for €190 more.
Any opinions on the non-pro variant? Not sure how 8gb will be long-term, but I am still looking for stock in a 12gb option.

Go to a local electronic store like BestBuy and see if they can locate one for you. That's what I did, but you may not get the color you want.
Yeah, good idea, although no BestBuy in the EU. Still combing the internet for a 12/256 variant--i'm sure to find something.
Go pro you will be glad you did!

Hey all! I looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6. I am interested in custom roms (LineageOS/Microg) and the free availability of the MSM tool to help me in the case of bricking.
Is a new OnePlus 9 only (latest) phone left on the market that can still do this, or is it a dying breed?
How are people liking the curved edge of the screen? Are accidental touches a thing with a case?
Is battery life a problem, or would a custom rom and lowering the clock of the processor via root be necessary?
Is 8GB RAM enough? I'm not into gaming.
Any other issues I should be aware of, such as the upgrade to Android 13?
OR, would it be smarter to look elsewhere, even a OnePlus 10/11 and simply "debloat"?
Thanks!

Why do you say that? Bad experience with the device?
Also, unless Carl Pei can make the Nothing Phone (2) into a modern (and better) OnePlus 5T, not sure it would be worth waiting. But who knows...
I would prefer a device that I can actually fully control, otherwise, I'd just go iPhone and line Tim Apple's pockets some more.

I have a 9p and it makes me mad when I use it,
I would suggest to go with Samsung s23+, nothing phone 2, or iPhone 13
But my recommendation is to wait for nothing phone 2,it gonna be smartphone of the year and nothing phone has best software experience , so don't make yourself regret and cancel the 9p order
To each his own!
I have the pro 8gb variant. Fantastic device. Doesn't lag at all. Battery lasts till afternoon and then I can charge it at half an hour. Cameras are great, but do note that they are not "iphone 14 pro great". No ghost touches. The only two things I am complaining is that I would love a 3.5mm jack and a little stronger reception.

Are there any useful tips people have to extend battery life?
I understand its different for everyone, but I hear some people tweak the clocks of the SD888 or use a specific rom
Yeah I also wish there was a headphone jack. The Asus Zenfone 9 with the SD8g1 (and some Sony Xperias) look good for that reason too.
