OnePlus 5 got the new update as Open Beta 13 with Project Treble support. In this build, the most exciting change is their brand new UI. The support for Project Treble is an outstanding feature, which should make OnePlus 5 compatible with Project Treble AOSP ROMs.
→ After several months of evaluation and hard work, we finally found a solution to make this possible, and we are very excited to share this good news with you.
Now it's easy to find a newly installed App in the drawer, as this build adds a separate section for new Applications. The Weather App, Phone App, and Message App got a new update on their User Interface which looks pretty cool. Personally, I can say this is the best update for OnePlus 5 that I received till now. I am in love with my OnePlus 5, and you will be too soon.
This update packs a lot of cool features, but remember, if you want to update your OnePlus 5 via OTA (Over-the-air), you must be on the previous version of Open Beta software, (Open Beta 12). If not, you can directly flash the Official ZIP using TWRP Custom Recovery from my tutorial below.
