OxygenOS vs OxygenOS Community

This is going to sound REALLY dumb to you guys but I really have Googled a LOT and cannot find an answer.
SO I am expecting to be a oneplus 3 owner sometime next week. I want to get up and running quickly when it arrives so I need to chose my OS.
I want to give OxygenOS a try (I have used CyanogenMod on all my other devices).
What is the difference between OxygenOS Official and OxygenOS Community?
Is one open source? or is the 'community' more of a 'beta' build?
Not looking for suggestions what to run, just want to know the differences between the two OxygenOS variants
Cheers alll !!

oxygen os is the more stable build intended for mass release and community build is sort of a beta software which still has some issues here and there.

I got my OP3 yesterday, and have been debating giving 3.5.2 a try, since the reports are all that it's pretty solid and daily driver worthy. But 3.2.4 has been running so smoothly so far that I think I'm going to just hold off for now. Then again, I could change my mind tomorrow morning and flash all the things.
Ultimately, it comes down to how willing to deal with bugs you are, because it's technically BETA software, and they will be there, and how much you want some of the new features they've rolled in like shooting 1080p 60fps video. That one could be big for you if you shoot much video - because they seem to have the OIS actually working in 1080p now, whereas it is pretty bad in stock 3.2.4.

The new community build rocks (3.5.2) I had all version and the last community is the best for me, plus you have 60 fps 1080p with camera and its really impressive. The rom is really smooth. Its just my opinion after but I tried a lot of rom (miui, h2os,cm13,cm14) and I'm really happy with the community build even without root

Is it possible for you to post a screenshot of this new "lock screen dialer UI"? This has been interesting me since I heard about it. Gonna maybe flash to 3.5.2 when it hits freedomOS.
Thanks.

I know antutu tells nothing Just a Small notice.
With original i got 140k in antutu. I. Community pushed 155k.
It feels More snappy. And it seems the battery holdsup beter. But iam only a 2days op3 user.

The main problem with the Community Build is if you want OTA updates going forward you have to flash the stable build, once it goes live, meaning you have to start from scratch again.
Given the stable build is only a week or so away, and there's not too many changes in the Community Build you may as well wait for the OTA now, in my view anyway.

No accent color, but you have dark, light and default theme.

Thanks for confirming. I hope they do add the old ones back. The new accent colours look very dull and pale.

Have some Dev on oneplus forums confirmed that stable build is a week away? I'm thinking of flashing the community build but if the offical build is coming, I'll wait.

On they haven't but the latest build seems so stable you'd hope OP would release it as OTA soon.
TBH if you haven't downloaded yet you may as well now wait, given the updates don't look that extensive.

Yes I've been on 3.2.5 and its been running extremely smooth with great battery so I guess I'll wait for another week or so.

Just because the community build contains the latest updates from OnePlus and it is not heavily tested for any presence of bugs, doesn't mean that it has bugs. The 3.5.2 community build, for instance, has no more bugs than 3.2.4, if any.

I will flash tomorrow last 3.5.2 build and there aren't bugs. Future update will be only ported of old features in 3.2.4 build. Now they move on some better colors, trasition and more oneplus style app like the newfull filemanager .

I haven't tried the latest 3.5.2 of the community build, but one thing I didn't like when I tried 3.5.1 was the quick settings. I don't like the small quick settings that appear with one swipe, and I don't like having to swipe twice to access the settings icon. Is there any way to change this in the community build?

No it's still there is 3.5.2 and since it's a feature from nougut I don't think it will go away.

the quick toogle CAST SCREEN is not present in the comm. build.
Is possible to add to the toggle notification panel, and add more than 9 icon?

The comunity build has got many more features but some bugs, for example: i cant use LTE on the newest community build. And the UI is diferent, it doesnt look like stock android anymore.

Any custom ROM for Pixel 2 XL that has separate notification volume?

As per the title. It's something I really miss from my Samsung phones.

Yeah I thought that was going to be a thing added in pie but doesn't work how I thought it was going to work

POSP has this Incorporated in the ROMs, but it's not available for the Pixel 2 XL.

If you still are on Oreo there is an xposed module.

I thought most aosp based custom ROMs has that. I can't recall which one has it, or which hasn't. But, I see that it's there in my current rom, that is HavocOS.
There is a toggle to isolate the notification volume.

I have the same thing in AquariOS rom.

Pixel dust has it too. It lets you pick a few.

Sorry mis read. Thought you wanted to be able to adjust separate on the fly. Pixel dust does allow for separate notification volume though too.

Thanks all, looks like I'll be flashing one of the AOSP-based ROMs. I didn't want to spam each ROM thread for an answer.
Mods, you can close this thread as I've received sufficient response to my question.

I'm on Colt OS. Killer ROM

Question One plus 9 pro custom roms

Hi everyone,
A few days ago that I have this device (european 12/256 version) and I'm already thinking about putting a custom rom , it seems that OOS is no longer what it was ....
Reading some of the comments I have a few questions:
Is it true that in all custom roms there is strange stuttering (does not run smoothly)?
With magisk hide option, the gpay runs well ?
What are the differences between the gcam and the stock camera ? (we lose video quality, monochrome type option? something else?)
There aren't many videos on youtube about custom roms and our one plus 9 pro, so if I decide to install one, I will upload some videos talking about it.
thanks in advance!

I'm in the exact same sutuation that you're in right now
Losing the stock camera would be the biggest blow for me. Gcam is good and all but not in every situation.
I'd love some feedback aswell so I start rocking some ROMS on this beast!

Idk I have flashed a few custom roms on my 9 pro. Only thing I really have issues with is gpay and and Android auto and Bluetooth syncing. Like I have a media player that has a USB port I plug my phone in and it goes directly to Android auto. But if I have a custom in it won't connect at all. And gpay it won't let me use it at all but I haven't really tried to hide with magisk either. The custom roms are awesome but I think as of right now cause the changes in 11 and 12 happening everything is off in some sorts.

Hopefully someone else can give us some feedback on their experience with gcam or if anyone knows if someone are trying to port the stock app.

In fact all Lineageos based ROMs (lineageos crdroid etc)suffer from strange stuttering ,only Paranoid defaults globally to 120hz(run smoothly in app).This problem is still unresolved for developers

Thanks for your comment, is there a video where I can see it?

Question Gestures in Custom ROMs!

As we all know, fullscreen gestures do not work on our devices (at least on mine they don't) if you are using anything other than the standard launchers, which is a complete no-go since they are devoid of a lot of features I regard as essential. Now I know no reason why gestures should not work on Custom ROMs but I have had no chance to try other ROMs yet (haven't unlocked my phone yet) but I figured i'd ask since the rom threads are pretty well populated and I don't want to ask on every single thread out there.
List what you use and if they are working, also maybe which launcher you are using

well on my ROM they do

Which one are you using?

I think every AOSP ROMs do have working gestures. For MIUI ones I think it should be working too, it depends.

Pixel Extended 4.1 (Android 12)

Gestures work in any custom ROM, doesn't matter if it is Android 11 or 12.
You need to install a third party gesture app of your choice form google store, then hide navigation buttons using Magisk Manager. Look for "HideNavBar" module and install that.
That's all, enjoy

Question Should I update? Or wait it out?

Greetings
I have LE2125
I'm currently on
Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10LE15AA
Got Notification for
LE2125_11_C.44_202201182114
Should I go for update?
I am skeptical about Oxygen OS12 given its reviews and number of bugs it has, meanwhile excited to try it out
Is downgrade an option? I have seen a few threads but my question is do I need to do something prior to update? And will going for update ruin the chances of going for certain custom ROMs?
Thanks I'm Advance

if u didnt like... you can always downgrade back to oos... and flash custom roms

if u didn't like c44... you can always downgrade back to oos... and flash custom roms

I updated my LE2125 to 12 awhile ago, and I haven't looked back...

Thank you all kindly vote into the poll above too, I guess I'll give it a try then

I use Oos 12 since Open Beta 1. Now i'm on ColorOS since C.36. I got no problems with my phone.
European model, living in Europa.

But for the 9 Pro there is Just the Chinese Color OS, without Google Apps, or i'm wrong?

Okay so I went for the update, actually I downloaded the update yesterday and had decided will hit reboot on my free time but apparently it decided to go for it on its own
For starters what's bothering me the most is about screen info shows SD855 instead of SD888 aside from this and other bugs
here are my Initial thoughts
Pros
Some of the features from ColorOS are great and even in a perfect world of Stock Oxygen UI(for OG's) I'd say these features are a must have
E.g
Dark Mode options
The wallpaper selector
More customizations
FPS options for video smoothing feature
Cons
Oh boy there are lots and lots of them
It feels like this UI didn't get the love that older Oxygen OS did before merger
A few days back I was helping a friend with his Oppo Reno and after this update I feel like I traded my 9 Pro for Oppo
Now don't get me wrong I always loved Hydrogen OS too, Color OS is a nice OS on its own (but not when Color OS is pretending to be Oxygen OS)
If it aint broke don't fix it I think majority would have preferred Oxygen over Color, Oppo should have kept Oxygen OS intact for its Global Flagships, and Color OS for other markets
I doubt OP devices will have that niche with what they had before
Sorry for going off topic there had to let off some steam
If you are all up for a change go for the update
If you are an OG oxygen OS buff I don't know what to say sooner or later you'll have to update at some point,give it a try?
Initially this update disappointed me weird things were happening with phone
Eventually its starting to grow on my a little bit I just dont like the Color OS look of app drawer and was looking forward to Android 12 themed quick toggles and all
I feel like it will keep on getting better as long as we get the same love via updates as we did for older Oneplus devices camera improvements and all

I was under the same impression maybe Color OS with Gapps installed or smth

What annoys me the most is that they removed the timer option for do not disturb mode.
You can only use schedule, or manually turn it on and off.
Is there any way to restore timer to the dnd-toggle like is was In Oxygen OS?

It's called Global, i think, because Google services works fine.
If you are on Oxygen (like i was) just flash ColorOs on top, using Local Update.apk. It's just like Dirty Flash a rom on top on another one (not a custom rom).
Now, of course i have google services working fine. There are about 5 chinese apps built in. If you are routed you can Clean all of them.

Okay I have been a while with this update and I'm thinking about downgrade or moving to custom ROM, it's not the change that's bothering me but the number of bugs especially the screen flickering bug on sleep to wake when you are using QHD with AOD it's totally unacceptable my phones display went green and I felt there is something wrong with the display, it's totally unacceptable, any other brand would have pushed an update by now or at least allowed users to roll back officially
Can you guys recommend and good custom ROM closer to stock and a stable daily driver but should have Oneplus's own camera app
