OnePlus One Oxygen OS 1.0: A Near Stock Experience
If you're familiar with Android devices like the Nexus 5 or Nexus 6, you'll notice that Oxygen OS feels and looks very close to stock Android. This is because it's built on top of Android 5.0.2, which is a step down from the latest version of Android found on actual Nexus devices. However, this doesn't detract from the overall experience, as the user interface, Google Now, launcher, and other elements are all very reminiscent of stock Android.
One of the biggest new features in Oxygen OS is the Quick Settings. The normal quick settings for Android 5.0 would look like a simple box with a few options, but Oxygen OS adds a level of customization to this feature that's not seen on other devices. You can rearrange the layout of the quick settings, add or remove options, and even customize what shows up in your quick settings box. This is achieved by tapping the "+" button and selecting from a range of available options. For example, you can toggle airplane mode off immediately, access the flashlight without having to go through the usual settings menu, and more.
Another feature that's been carried over from CyanogenMod 11 is the buttons and gestures system. In Oxygen OS, you can enable or disable the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the device, which allows for a level of customization that wasn't available on previous devices. You can also enable or disable screen off gestures, such as double-tapping to wake your device or drawing a circle to open the camera app.
The multitasking feature in Oxygen OS is another new addition that's worth noting. A small "X" button has been added to the top-right corner of the screen, which allows you to clear all your recent apps with a single tap. This is a welcome change from some other devices, where you have to navigate through a long list of options to get rid of unwanted apps.
One more thing worth mentioning is that Oxygen OS comes pre-installed with all the Google apps, including the camera app. While the camera app itself isn't special in any way, it does produce high-quality images that are on par with those taken by other devices.
Root access has also been added to Oxygen OS, but it's not available through an over-the-air update. Instead, you'll need to download and flash the superuser app manually. This is a bit of a drawback, as it means you won't be able to get the latest updates automatically. However, this doesn't detract from the overall experience, which remains stable and smooth.
Finally, Oxygen OS comes with its own set of wallpapers, including some nice-looking options that are exclusive to this device. While these aren't exactly new features, they do add a touch of personality to an otherwise straightforward operating system.
In conclusion, Oxygen OS for the OnePlus One is a near stock experience that's both stable and customizable. While it may not offer any revolutionary new features, it's a great starting point for those who want to try out Android without breaking the bank. With future updates, it's likely that we'll see more significant changes and additions to this operating system, but for now, it's worth checking out simply because of its stability and simplicity.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys of Kim PhD here and welcome to yet another video on the oneplus one probably the phone that I've done the most individual videos on on this channel so if you've owned a one plus one over the past couple of months there's two things that you've been waiting for for a while number one CyanogenMod 12s extension an update from CyanogenMod 11s book on top of lollipop and number two oxygen OS the update and the operating system built specifically for the oneplus one by one plus so oxygen OS is finally available for download and i have to actually flash the zip on my oneplus one it's available to about a seven hundred and fifty megabytes i'll also leave linked repet like button if you want to install yourself and i asked on twitter if you guys want to see a video about it despite also saying that it's a pretty small update a pretty simple thing but a lot of you guys were interested so here is one plus ones oxygen OS 1.0 so the first thing you'll notice about oxygen OS is just how close it feels and looks to stock android so if you use the nexus 5 or nexus 6 that's what a lot of this is going to remind you of and actually it's built on top of android 5.0.2 so it's not the latest version of android like an actual nexus would be built on but you notice basically all the user interface and google now and this launcher and everything here is just like stock android so what i think is the biggest new feature of this OS at least from what i've seen and used is the quick settings so this is what the normal quick settings for android 5.0 would look like and that's fine but if you at this little quad box up here you can actually rearrange where things are and what shows up here so you can tap what's add don't use airplane mode very much where i don't use the flashlight you can tap to toggle which things show up and which things don't you hit save and there's your new quick settings so you can toggle and control the stuff really easily let's say i want all the stuff there I can touch it all and toggle it all back and if I ever want to reset it I can do that too so that seems like the main feature being able to easily quickly customize what shows up in your quick settings box here since that's something I guess Android users use a lot there's also a couple of other features from CyanogenMod 11s that you may recognize so if I go into the settings here you have buttons and gestures buttons are just the buttons on the bottom of the phone so you can turn on or off the on screen buttons let's say you want the off screen capacitive buttons you can use those too we're used to being able to switch those on the oneplus one and gestures are the screen off gestures so let's say you want to be able to draw a circle to quickly turn on the camera while the phone screen is off just draw that circle and it will open you right up into the Google camera so it's not the CyanogenMod camera or anything special but that's what it'll allow you to do so the gestures are there and I actually found that a lot of these we're activating in my pocket when I was using CyanogenMod so I turn the gestures off we can give them another shot if you think double tap to wake or drawing to open certain apps is worth your time but everything else like you can see here the launcher the Google now home page being one swipe away from the regular apps and screens and everything like that all of this is still very close to stock Android so almost nothing else is modified here I did notice the multitasking you get a nice little X button up here in the top to clear all your recent apps that's a little bit different looking and it's new and it looks kind of nice and like I said you use a Google camera here and not any sort of special camera app but it does look like the pictures it takes are just as good as you would get on previous realms from anything like CyanogenMod another thing to note is this comes with all the Google apps installed already so I did install the superuser app here to get that root access but it is a 750 megabyte download and it doesn't come as an OTA update so you have to download it and flash it yourself by following those instructions also I know people are always interested in the wallpaper this particular one I did add myself but this does come with a couple of what's called oneplus wallpapers it's just a couple of them but they are pretty good-looking and these are the ones that come with oxygen OS if you want to try those out so there you have it it's a very small list of new things but that is oxygen OS for the oneplus one it's a very simple very clean very near stock rom it's not the only simple clean near stock rom you have Paranoid Android you have bliss pop you have signage and mod you have a bunch of other options but I feel like they needed to get something out that's stable and a little bit before signage in mod 12 otherwise you'd have really no reason to check this out that being said I think this is a good place to start because it's so simple and so clean and at least so stable for right now this is a good place to build on and they'll be able to add future things add some new features and options and customizations further down the road with update but this is 100 so at least it works and hopefully it's more interesting with future updates either way that's minute thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peacehey what is up guys of Kim PhD here and welcome to yet another video on the oneplus one probably the phone
