[Updated] OxygenOS release cycle - OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

OxygenOS release cycle:
Closed Beta
(2 updates per month)
This is where all OxygenOS code begins. Sometimes, these builds are referred to as “alpha builds”.
Here, our software team tests new (and sometimes experimental) code and features.
The big goal here is to get initial feedback on new ideas. These builds lack the stability of polished software
but offer early access. New code and features often come to Closed Beta builds
weeks or months before going public. In order to receive Closed Beta builds, you have to apply
to be a certified Closed Beta tester. This is quite an elite crew, though, as we usually
only accept around 100 Closed Beta testers for each device at any given time.
Open Beta
(1 update per month)
Once a new feature or change passes initial quality tests in Closed Beta, they’ll be added to Open Beta.
Since these builds are available for anyone to try, we’re doubling down
on our efforts to collect and implement feedback to ensure the software is much more stable
and less likely to include major bugs when compared to Closed Beta builds.
To make a long story short, Open Beta is the second, semi-public step for feedback and bug testing,
ensuring that only the best code makes it to official release.
Official Release (OTA)
(1 update every 1-2 months)
This is the final step. Once code has undergone several rounds of internal and community feedback
throughout the Closed and Open Beta programs, the best of the best is released
on the official version of OxygenOS. These are the updates that you automatically receive via OTA
if you don’t opt into any sort of beta program. In a nutshell, these are the builds
that go out to all of our users across the globe. While these builds are stable and polished,
the feedback doesn’t stop. We still continue to collect and analyze feature requests and bug reports,
and we actually have some big things in the works to make the feedback process even better.

This release is HUGE! Sapphire has hit 1.0! Everyone is excited including us, with this release we have several announcements to make.
First off, Sapphire 1.0, with Verizon's release of the official OTA update we are proud to announce our 1.0.0 release. Many of you have been looking foreward to it for a while! A few features people will like are that Gem Settings has been moved to the actual settings screen instead of it being it's own app, kmob's lockscreen music controls, we've also modified the previous volume controls(when screen is off) when music was playing to now skip tracks on long-press and work accross all music players, including Pandora and Slacker Radio. Bug fixes include ##program menu, 50% signal loss bug, wifi signal loss issue.
For a full list of changes and bug fixes please see the changelog.
http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0
Next up we have our own website now!(no forums at this time) It's name is ccroms.net which stands for Crystal Clear Roms. This is now the blanket name for the group and all roms we produce. CCroms.net is a centralized location for all information related to sapphire, other upcoming roms, bug tracker, howto, etc. We hope you like it!
http://www.ccroms.net
I would also like to officially announce the addition of BGill to the ccroms team as the master of themes, or "The Jeweler" as he has come to call himself. He needs no introduction as you all know who he is. Though i will say he worked all last night to port themes for the 1.0.0 release so once he wakes up we should have several themes ready to go for everyone.

Lastly, we are also currently in a donation drive. As many of you know we are trying to expand our device coverage to the HTC Incredible to produce a rom named Ruby, which will be Sapphire for the Incredible. For more information on this should you feel like donating please see the below link.

it's a (really sweet) custom ROM with 2.2 and a wide variety of kernels and themes. Thanks to the devs for a job well done! This is running perfectly for me.
Damn, I was hoping it was FRG22. Nice so far tho. New notifications is a nice touch. Gotta wait for my apps to populate so I can really test it.

Hey guys, we have been hard at work with all the crazy fast updates that have been going on as well as throwing in some new work into the mix. With CyanogenMod updating as normal we wanted to bring you some newly themed features give everything a deeper theming run through, and we have a lot of new mods. The Contacts and Phone applications were completely redesigned by DJdarkknight96 and you will see more his work through out the Gtalk, Facebook, Twitter, GVoice, Maps, Wifi calling, SystemUI, Gmail, Framework, and so more mods as you roam around. This is all in Forbidden-v2 and good news we cover the original Droid now and we will be covering another two devices like the G2x and the Thunderbolt. They will be released as we get stable builds to work off of. For more new and what not to keep in the loop with all of our work and future ideas as well as other Android news visit Our Blog...​The other crazy amount of updates are coming from P3Droid and his partners with leaks of Gingerbread and Blur for the Droid X and Droid 2. Those have almost been coming out to fast to worry about building then testing and so on so we pass on as few problems as possible. With all that said I we are going to wait till the 13th of May to release anymore Gingerbread build of Forbidden so that we can work on the official build that will be and OTA build. May 13th should be the day we see it start to roll out. For more news and information on the Gingerbread leaks and the official OTA update visit Our Blog...​We have also been hard at work on another theme for everyone. We have been at it for quite a while, but it is all slowly coming together. To give you a little background on the theme in the making. It is called Dark Flare and it will be slightly more minimalistic than Forbidden but will be pumped full of two contrasting colors. It's hight light and lighter color will be a dark orange with about a half transparent black in which will feature 24 custom icons made by StuntinX (aka Acid'smark) and will have a lot of the same mods thrown in by DJdarkknight96. Similar to the mods that are also in Forbidden-v2. Ljbaumer is throwin down on some framework right now and everything is looking great. We can't wait to release this and see it all pulled together and we hope everyone here feels the same. If you want to keep up with the updated info on this theme and others as well as other Android news follow us over to our Team MagnaM0d blog...​​​
All of the downloads are on the homepage of our website about half way down http://www.magnam0d.com, all you need to do is select downloads under your phone and then click whichever version you want.​

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Firstly we apologise for any inconvenience caused. The Android 2.3 update for the LG P970 was initially released on the 12th of December this year. However, there was an issue found with the update making it impossible for certain people from updating. Because of this we have temporarily disabled access to the update until we can find the source of the problem and resolve it.
Because of this we do not have a current timeframe regarding the re-release date of Android 2.3. Due to this we would suggest sporadically checking the LG blog on www.lgblog.co.uk. This is where we will first post new information regarding Android 2.3 and its re-release date for the LG P970.
We hope this information has been useful to you, if you have any further queries please feel free to contact ourselves again via e-mail or on 0844 8475454.
Best Regards,
LG Electronics UK Helpdesk

Good day LG Optimus PH and a happy new year to everyone!
We would like to update you of the status for Gingerbread upgrade for Optimus Black and Optimus 3D. As of Dec. 27, 2011, testing & development of the official GB software has concluded. The photo shows our test units upgraded to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. However, in the interest of ensuring a smooth and hassle-free transition to the new OS, we have decided to conduct another series of tests before officially releasing it.
Therefore we are humbly requesting for your patience and understanding.

OxygenOS Beta Program: Explained
tempted to sign up but....
1.) Don't use Slack
2.) I daily use the phone (so don't want to tinker).
Can't wait for the open betas to start rolling in!
Too bad T-Mobile users can't beta test... Although if it's a matter of a simple system flash, similar to the fastboot files used for conversion, we should be able to participate.

**** I forgot about that..lol..I signed up though..
I signed up as well, received my t6 in the mail today. Unfortunately it arrived after I got to work so I won't be playing with it until tomorrow (gotta love night shift). It's been a pretty long time since I've had a phone that could even be rooted so I'm very excited, I think my last phone I could do anything with was a galaxy s3 maybe s4 I really can't remember.
Already applied..just hoping that I should got selected..I am also beta tester for Miui Rom.So would be nice to test Oxygen is as well
Signed up! Really interested in this!
This should be fun. Haven't been active on the OnePlus forms for a minute. But it's never too late too start.
