Quick Look at Oxygen OS on the OnePlus One

**Testing Oxygen OS on OnePlus One: A Stock Android Experience**

As I began testing Oxygen OS on my OnePlus One device, I was excited to see how close it would get to the stock Android experience. With the ability to toggle between virtual and physical buttons, as well as access to a gestures tab, I was eager to explore these new features.

One of the first things I noticed was the option to change the battery icon. By clicking on this icon, I could easily switch to a different battery percentage display. This small feature may seem insignificant, but it's another example of how Oxygen OS is trying to make the user experience more personalized and intuitive.

As I delved deeper into the settings, I found the quick toggles section. Here, I discovered that I had the ability to change these toggles at will. By dragging this toggle to a new location, I was able to customize my interface even further. It's clear that Oxygen OS is designed to be highly customizable, with users having complete control over their device.

Another feature I wanted to explore was the dialer app. As expected, it worked seamlessly and allowed me to make quick calls with ease. The speaker quality was also impressive, with a decent volume level that made sure my voice came across clearly.

However, not all features were present on Oxygen OS. One notable omission was the video recording feature in the camera app. Although I could record 1080p video, there was no option to record in 4K resolution, which was a feature I had previously used with the Cogen mod. Additionally, the front camera was only capable of recording at 720p, which may be a limitation for some users.

I also noticed that the auto brightness sensor was slightly broken on Oxygen OS. Although I could enable adaptive brightness, the device often defaulted to manual mode instead. It's unclear whether this is a bug or a feature intentionally left out, but it's something that OnePlus One should look into fixing in future updates.

In conclusion, my experience with Oxygen OS on OnePlus One has been overwhelmingly positive. While there may be some minor omissions and issues, the overall experience is remarkably close to stock Android Lollipop. With its customizable interface, seamless app performance, and user-friendly features, Oxygen OS is a solid choice for those looking for a fresh take on their Android experience.

**Testing Call Clarity with Oxygen OS**

As I continued testing Oxygen OS, I decided to put it through a series of calls to gauge the call clarity and quality. With the device connected to my mobile network, I placed several test calls to evaluate its performance. To my surprise, the call clarity was significantly improved compared to Cogen mod.

The speaker quality was also impressive, with clear and loud audio that made it easy to hear the other person on the line. However, there were still some minor issues with echo or background noise, which may be a result of the device's location within my home network. Despite this, the overall call experience was much improved compared to Cogen mod.

**Testing the Screen Recording App**

One feature that I noticed was missing from Oxygen OS on OnePlus One was the screen recording app. Although it had been a useful tool in the past, it seems to have been left out of this version. This may be due to the fact that Oxygen OS is designed to focus more on performance and features over camera apps.

However, I did notice that the Quick Settings panel still included a "Screen recording" option, which could potentially be used as an alternative to the missing app. While it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, this hacky workaround allowed me to continue using the screen recording feature in some capacity.

**Testing Okay Google and Wi-Fi Network Usage**

As I continued testing Oxygen OS on OnePlus One, I decided to put the Okay Google feature through its paces. To my surprise, the voice assistant worked seamlessly and provided accurate responses to my queries.

However, there was one minor issue that I noticed - sometimes the device would use cellular data even when connected to a strong Wi-Fi network. This may seem like a small issue, but it's still something that OnePlus One should investigate in future updates.

**Comparing with Cogen Mod**

In comparison to Cogen mod, Oxygen OS has made some significant improvements. The most notable difference is the level of customization available on Oxygen OS, which is unmatched by Cogen mod. Additionally, the performance and features are much closer to stock Android Lollipop, making it a more authentic experience.

However, there were still some minor omissions and issues that I noticed with Oxygen OS. For example, the screen recording app was missing, as well as the 4K video recording feature. These may be small complaints, but they're still worth mentioning in the hopes of getting feedback from users.

Overall, my experience with Oxygen OS on OnePlus One has been overwhelmingly positive. While there may be some minor issues to iron out, the overall experience is remarkably close to stock Android Lollipop. With its customizable interface, seamless app performance, and user-friendly features, Oxygen OS is a solid choice for those looking for a fresh take on their Android experience.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey there this is Ranjit and in this video we'll have a first look at this oxygen OS on the OnePlus One and this oxygen OS is the new ROM by OnePlus One it's basically a ROM on Android lollipop and if you have been using the 1pl one uh it might be running on the Cogen mod and this oxygen OS is a new ROM by 1l one so we'll have a first quick look at it and the thing is that you got to flash this because this is a new ROM so you don't get a OTA update so you got to flash it manually and actually it's pretty straightforward you have to just install ADB and TWRP Recovery if you do that then it's pretty straightforward to flash it and OnePlus One has instructions how to do that I'll have the links in the show notes in this video I'll show you what are the changes that I've noticed and it's been just around 2 odd hours since I have flashed this and it's been working fine I also made some calls but let me actually first show you that it's running on Android lollipop and it's it's actually very close to stock Android experience that you get and if you notice the menus also look like that and if you go to about the device you'll notice that it's running on the Android version 5.0.2 which is Lollipop so we are getting that and it's running on the oxygen o version one so it's the first release and we'll notice that I have these virtual buttons so still with this oxygen OS you have the ability to if you go to the settings you have a button option over here and if you click here you can toggle between the on screen or the physical button so that functionality is still there go back to Virtual buttons I like that so we have that functionality and that works OnePlus One also has retained some of the gestures that we had and uh we do have this double tap to wake so that actually works pretty well and we also have some other gestures for example for flashlight we had the V gesture oops and as you can see that works so that is there and let me actually show you let's just go back open it we have a gestures tab over here and as you can see these are the gestures that we have we also have for a camera and you can also control the music but if we start comparing with the uh modifications that was offered on Cogen mod we don't have that many modifications so it's very close to stock Android I would say uh fortunately we can change the battery icon as you can see the percentage uh uh one if you just go to here it shows you the battery stats and if you click this icon you can change it so that option is also there and uh another thing that I have noticed is uh as you can see these are the quick toggles that we get we can actually change them you can hit this button and let's say I want the flashlight over here I can just drag this over here and it will go over there there so these are and we have to just hit save now we have the flashlight over here so these things work so these are the some of the changes that I have noticed apart from that it's very close to stock Android I would say and for the most part it's actually pretty fast as you can see as of now it's pretty fast but it's just around two OD hours since I've flashed it and again this is the dialer that we get by default you'll see the quick contact you can just stab and it'll make a call and if you hit this you get to the dialer let me actually uh make a call uh the speaker quality is actually very good still it's pretty loud let me put it on prate account balance is 100 and I did make several voice calls with this uh device after flashing the oxygen OS and I would say the call Clarity has improved a little bit compared to Cogen mod so that's a good thing now some of the things that are not there on this oxygen OS if you compare it with Cogen bond is that when I open the C camera app again you'll notice this is the stock Google camera app that we have uh but one thing I did notice that if you go to the video mode let me just go back let's and if you hit the settings and if you go to the resolution in video resolution uh it's restricted to only 1080p with the sanen mod we had the 4K option but that is not there as of now and for the front camera it's restricted up to 720p so that's what I have noticed also if you like a lot of themes sanen mod has a lot of theme support but we don't have any theme support as of now with this oxygen OS also one thing that I've noticed is slightly broken is the auto brightness sensor with this oxygen mod I have kept it to manual right now but if you go to the settings and in display if you enable this adaptive brightness that is supposed to be uh what do you say auto brightness it is just going hair so I think this is a bug and hopefully uh what do you say OnePlus One can fix it in future updates also another thing that I've noticed is that with sanen Mod we had the screen recording app but that is also missing with this oxygen OS some of you have also asked me to check if this Okay Google works or not and as you can see it works but let's try it again okay Google what's the time in Japan the time in Japan is 7:04 p.m. and you might have noticed that one thing I have noticed that as I'm still on a very strong Wi-Fi network it is still actually using sometimes my mobile uh cellular data which is a little bit weird I would say as you can see so these are some of the changes that I've seen with the oxygen OS again I would say it's mostly stock Android lollipop experience that we get with minor modifications again it's just been around 2 hours since I've been testing this device so I will be testing this device a lot more and if you have already flashed this device to share your experience in the YouTube comments it'll be highly appreciated thanks for watching this
