So as people get their OnePlus 5, some have discovered that the 3/3T displays are the exactly same as the 5.
Yet, the 5 has the DCI-P3 mode. I hop across to oneplusbbs and they have discovered a way of enabling it on the 3/3T though I've seen that there is two models of displays.
A3 and A5. To find this out, you have to be using Oxygen Dialer and enter: *##*37847#
I'm not sure if there is a difference yet but I'm sure you guys will figure it out.

There is other threads as well about it on oneplusbbs

The 1+3 dev forum lists nearly 50 ROMs.
Is there a general sense how many of them are planning on adding support for the 3T?
Do you think we can expect a similar breadth of ROMs for the 3T, since (I'm reading that) the devices are not compatible?
Thanks.
(I noticed that the Axon 7, which has been out for about as long as the 1+3, has many fewer ROMs.)
No one really knows. Seems unlikely to have nearly as many roms as the OP3 because it's a different processor and the device trees are a mess according to several developers. They would have to start from scratch or close to it and put in a lot of work to maintain their work on both devices. Many developers already have OP3's and do not want to buy another device. OnePlus has said they have some sort of surprise for developers in the pipeline but no one really knows yet what that will be. Time will tell.
I've been using custom roms since 2009 on windows mobile and for the first time ever, I'm actually quite happy staying stock. I haven't even unlocked the bootloader or rooted yet. Really depends on what you want out of the phone. Hope this helps.
I wouldn't expect the same amount of support, but I also wouldn't really expect it to be dry either. The 3T seems like it is going to be a fairly popular phone (at least within enthusiasts), and with that comes a developer community 99% of the time.
I think it will also depend a lot on when the OnePlus 4 (or whatever the next device is called) is released. If the 3T is only their flagship for a few months, similar to the 3, I would expect a pretty big drop-off in ROM support.
By the amount of sales and interest in this phone and the timing near the holidays I say we will see more developers and development from a wide range of newcomers to developers getting an upgrade.
According to David Y on OnePlus Official forums:
First, my answer to the question on the thread title:
Yes. OnePlus 3/3T will get Android O. OOS team are working on it, even new community app (not public yet) just finished the compatibility work for Android O last week.
Here are some update I'd like to share with you guys:
Currently the OOS team are focusing on the OBT program and Android O for OP3/3T, also stable updates for OP5. Next stable update for OP3/3T was planned, will be a minor update updated Android security patch level to August.
I will keep you all in the loop once I got some latest updates.

Ask op2 owners about promises like this. Will see.

Well, unlike the OP2, the OnePlus 3 was much more successful, and had no hardware issues. Plus, due to the similarities in hardware (and consequently software) between the OnePlus 3 and the 3T, they can essentially provide support for 2 devices at the cost and effort of one. If they, for instance, decide to go back on their promise for some reason, they would be offending the owners of 2 devices at the same time. As explained earlier, there would be no logical reason in updating just the 3T and not the 3. Now the only way forward for OnePlus would be to deliver on the standard 18 month support promise. It WOULD however, be a miracle if OnePlus goes one step further and give us the P update too, whenever it comes out. Unlikely, but a man can dream...

the 1st time was a promise , this time is an official timeline, he stated what the development team is working on already , not what they intend to...so,
i get it was bad not to provide the OP2 with the N update, but the circumstances for the 3/T is different.

Totally agree drakonizer. :highfive:
Lets hope Android O isn't a mess, (like Lollipop was,) and that the final OS update for our devices is stable with good battery life. For the next year after it can be left untouched with just the security patch updated.
I also don't expect OP to update us to Android P.
If they do a blog like this I would love this! I do rather have Oneplus being honest to us with what they are planning and working on!
It's not like they having so many devices to update, so i don't see any problem they support 3/T further, to P maybe? why jack up the ram to 6 Gb and says it's for "future proofing" if the software alone isn't supported for long. this device is more than capable handling O and so on
Today, Redmi Note 4 received an unofficial port for Project Treble. Having recieved an official announcement that OxygenOS will not offer this for 3T or even 5T for that matter, community developers are our last hope. And after the awesome news about Note 4, reigniting fresh discussions seeking information on enthusiasm/ possibility/ status of any work being done in this direction by any of our developers.

3/3T is very unlikely as there doesn't seem to be any partition that isn't left unused, while on the 5/5T I'm hearing reports that there is some empty partitions that could be re-purposed, but I would wait for official developer response on that.

You can partition phones to have any partition layout you want! A few older phones on XDA needed partitions changed because the newer android versions wouldn't fit.
I guess then safe repartitioning will hopefully be looked into as a serious and viable option coz the what Treble offers is immensely huge. And since a repartitioning based method will serve a wider range of phones, it becomes all the more meaningful to dedicate the efforts on it. But, as we know it's not as simple as a non-dev guy like me may make it sound and that developers do this in their spare time and don't get paid. So I guess we just wait and support such effort when it happens.
Not sure if Project Treble will be useful for our devices, since the well
1.) Project Treble is used for easier and quicker OTA updates from the OEM
2.) Project Treble can be great for devices that don't have it's Device Tree's/ Kernel Sources released, whereas our device has all those released.
The 3T has received it's complete cycle of OTA updates, and it has had it's Device Tree's released. There's no use for us getting Treble support.
So I have a few questions that searching for answers has either been vague or given me old, outdated articles and answers if any at all. Coming here to see if maybe you guys can help bring some clarity.
I still have not received the November security patch. I'm using an Unlocked Pixel 5 with an AT&T sim. This is the first time I have not been able to get an OTA update on my phone when I saw it was released. I was using the 12 beta on my device but my wife hasn't gotten one either.
Pixel tips mentions the enhanced voice typing on my phone but I do not have it available to me. I am on the Gboard beta program and I briefly got it when it was in it's trial rounds and it works great but is no longer available. Is this a 6/6P exclusive?
Those are the two biggies right now. I know things like magic eraser and stuff are exclusive to the P6 (even though they work perfectly fine on other devices and other features have been tested on non tensor devices). I understand Google needing to incentivize an upgrade to the 6/6P but it's kind of frustrating when features that clearly work or have been tested on older devices are not made available/no longer available on their older devices that are able to run them. Maybe a feature drop in the future will address these issues but the two questions above I'd love some insight on.
Hi. I think I might be able to help. I also have the 5. I am not in the Beta program, however I believe you have to be off the beta program to receive security patches for this lot.
https://9to5google.com/2022/03/07/pixel-march-22-security-patch/#more-475705
The Enhanced typing _is_ something that is exclusive to the P6 because of the on board processing available via Tensor. That was the whole reason big G went with their own chip. The only reason why I know this is because I'm hard of hearing and I utilize the voice dictation all the time. On the 5 it's online, on the 6 it can be either online and or offline by my understanding.
Hope that helps.
I had a OP3 and a OP5 and after a turn with a Pixel 5, I'm looking to come back to OnePlus.
I see a ton of development for the OP Pro 9. When I clock on the Development filter for OP Pro 10, nothing comes up. Is this an XDA glitch or is there really no development for this device?
Because there is no published authentication for the MSM tool to bail you out from a bad custom ROM build. This is most likely NOT going to change. If you hard brick, only current option is to send back to OnePlus
Here's some similar topic discussion...
Why no custom ROMs yet?
Hello, I've been missing for quite a long time from XDA, but I'm about to get a new phone soon (maybe another OnePlus?) and I came here to check for new custom ROMs updates. But it seems I cannot find any custom ROM for the OnePlus 10 Pro (yet?)...

Thanks all for the explanations. That is downright tragic. Maybe Nothing will ramp up in the future as a viable alternative. Sad. I went with a heavily discounted Pixel 6 Pro.
