Question One UI 4.1 vs Oxygen OS 12.1 - OnePlus Nord 2 5G

Can anyone confirm which one is better in terms of features, performance and smoothness, stability with lesser bugs and user experience ? I have used Oxygen OS 12.1, but never used One UI.....

Dude, oneui is much better than oos!

Ohk. So in terms of long term performance, smoothness, features, stability, optimization One UI is better right? And unlike old Samsung phones I hope One UI doesn't slow down with time and updates.... Does it?

Well, I have used s20 ultra, a52, and a52s..... Amazing smartphones and the OneUI it's much better than oos... And for your worry about slowing down I can say that: NO! Samsung "put mind" on this subject.

Software updates, new features are some reasons to get a new device. I have used OnePlus devices for a long time, and they haven't slowed down in any of the cases.

Oxygen have lot of off screen gestures , which r useful in daily life and battery saver. One UI is heavy

Yeah although, if you compare phones like Galaxy A52s and Oneplus Nord 2, they go neck and neck on performance.

Chk it here diff b/w two UI
Oxygen UI vs One UI

I can only comment on One UI 4.1 from S21 Ultra/S22 Ultra - both Exynos, and Oneplus Nord 2T which runs Oxygenos 12.1 I believe.
So One UI has significantly more features, no doubt. Also Samsung will provide more Android updates. However, OxygenOS on Nord 2T is WAY smoother from my experience. It's actually comparable to my Pixel 6 Pro! Both S21 Ultra and S22 Ultra have had random stuttering here and there: for example when pulling down the notification shade, or when swiping right to see Google News on the home page. It just looks ugly in my opinion, the laggy ass animation, I don't know how people think that's acceptable in mid 2022 on a flagship phone! How in the fug can a mid-ranger such as Nord 2T look so much more fluid than a FLAGSHIP which cost me almost 3 times as much??????? There are claims Samsung will work on "smoother animations" with One UI 5.0 (Android 13) and they damn well better! One UI 5 beta was delayed and I hope they use that time to polish their ****.
To make it perfectly clear: I'm not a hater of Samsung or anything, I still use my S22 Ultra as my main phone currently. I just think they crammed way too much features without focusing on user interface smoothness.
If the perfect-ish phone existed, to me it would all have the features of Samsung's One UI, with the silky smoothness of OxygenOS/Pixel UI. I guess we can't have both at this time, which is unfortunate.

So, for daily use with fluency u prefer One UI or Oxygen?

One UI is like a custom ROM, with good lock you can do stuff like crazy. Sound Assistant allows you to control the volume of every all separately, use volume keys to skip songs, create custom notification or ringtone vibration pattern, allow multiple apps to play media at the same time and many more.

I heard that this fingerprint sensor sucks too much...
I have both of them. The finger print sensor and camera make the OP2 IMHO.
Maybe test again with oos 2.1.1 instead of 2.02

If you check the latest comparison of OPO vs Nexus 6P on the same channel, 6P isn't doing great either. Its faster mostly in browser tests, which is due to marshmallow. OPO with CM13 is better than any 2015 flagship
Nope, this video uses a lower version of OOS and the Oneplus 1 is using cyanogenmod. Test both the device with CM or OOS, and you'd see how much better the OP2 is.
Oxygen OS2 is really holding back the OP2, i read that they hired many of the Paranoid Android team, hopefully they'll add in some of the great stuff from that ROM, because compared to CM this ROM is sh**. My OPO with CM was a beast when it came to speed and customization. I only upgraded because i needed a dual sim phone.

Me too, but hope to have a CM rom someday soon with fingerprint, laser focus, etc. and will dump this sh***y OS for god's sake
I have both OPs and 2's FP scanner and better camera are significant improvements but the superior display, capacitive keys with real backlighting and dual sims make it so much better overall. It's fast enough and will only get faster when MM arrives.

Do you think so? I don't have hope for this OS... Maybe it will be a little quicker, but I don't trust Oneplus's devs. Just see how they fu**d up the dual sim stuff with latest OS update 2.1.2; then imagine how they can break everything with the MM update
I really don't get why people are saying that Snap 810 is super hot. I turned off thermal control, and still my previous phone (i9505 - Galaxy S4) WAS WAY HOTTER than OP2.

Dual sim working fine for me on 2.1.2. FP was working fine on previous OxygenOS and since 2.1.2 meddled with it I assume a future update could fix it :fingers-crossed: When MM comes out for OP2 it'll support Imprint so apps will be able to take advantage of the FP.

Which is precisely why we have XDA now innit?
Optimisations on stock kernel and possibly CM could be better if stock becomes utter trash, right?
I've seen devs do some pretty rad things - this phone isn't even using its hardware to the fullest yet.. Soon..
For now, killed the hype totally

[Question] Are there any upcoming ROMs that will run Marshmallow?

OK, since the recent announcement from OnePlus we will have to wait a bit until Marshmallow update finally hits our OnePlus X devices.
The subforum for Android development for X seems to be very quiet and I'm simply just wondering if there is any new ROM in the making.

Yes.
Don't take this the wrong way but why?
I am trialing the Sony Z3 Compact with its official Marshmallow concept. I have a Nexus 9 running MM.
The only real advantage of MM is the battery saving features.
Other than that after a few months with the OP2 and now a week with OPx I find Oxygen a rather pleasing operating system with many distinct advantages over Lollipop.
Add to that the fact that I use Nova, and hey presto, I have a phone that with careful camera use, is a delight to use.

Why? Because I want the latest Android version on my brand new phone. I would buy a nexus phone but they are ugly as hell and the OnePlus X is no doubt the sexiest Android phone to date!
I want a phone with M but chose a phone that wouldn't get it for a couple of months, so thats where this thread came to life.

Doze is basically the biggest reason I want M. OnePlus X's battery haven't been bad or anything yet, though.
Fair comment, I guess that for the fist time in a while, I am rather content with a device.

Same here. The phone overall is very nice. Everyone who have seen/held it have said something like 'Woah, thats a nice phone!'.
Imagine if you could turn any phone into vanilla Android without anything "extra" needed..

[Q] Time to think beyond stock?

Ive been using stock roms from the time i got my kenzo. Stock roms are great and so much feature rich. The recent launch of MiUi 10 has many interesting features and it has made me think if I should go back to MiUi just for the visual experience. I mean user experience is also important right. What do you guys feel?
Quite a subjective question. I only use miui like a week. I don't the visuals nor the amount of crapware it has.

Agree, few like MIUI and few like me hate it from the core of the heart. I kept my phone in drawer for 14 days until I was able to unlock the bootloader. I can't stand MIUI, I can still use buggy AOSP rom instead of stable MIUI.

Miui gives u good features. Good camera quality, audio experience, battery life too. It also has inbuilt call recorder. But it has stock gapps which u may not use all and consider it as unnecessary bloat.
Even if it has so many features people mostly prefer higher android version and go with custom roms. Coz it has better performance, security and new innovative features and much improved core structure.
As mentioned before, I've never seen anyone neutral about miui. This ROM is made and optimized for xiaomi devices and there are many features only miui can give compared to others. The convenience and the visual experience, the smoothness of miui kept me going back to it again and again - Epic ROM Miui9 was the best build I've tried and used for a 6-8 months. Now I use oreo RR, because this is now on a level to compete user experience with miui... I mean this was... before miui 10.
Now I really hope that both, android P and miui 10 will be ported to this device, and I can try both before decide. I love my oreo setup now, but this is getting boring after months of use...

Its the same thing with me.. Oreo setup with AEx rom is cool bt its getting boring now and all stock roms have more or less the same features. Miui 10 videos are too tempting to give a try wen its out.

Are software lags really a thing?

Hi!
I'm currently using Mi A1 but thinking about upgrading to Nokia 7.1. I really exited about this phone and like everything about it on paper.
However in a lot of reviews people are complaining about regular lags while scrolling through UI, opening Google Now, notification drawer etc. Many also complaining that apps take long to load and that they even crash sometimes.
Can some of you, real device users please confirm or deny, whether you experience some or all of these things? And how you satisfied with user experience on this device overall?
Thanks.

I too upgraded from a Mi A1 to this. It has no problems connecting to LTE and staying connected unlike the A1. I replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher and I'd say it's not super noticeable but I'd say it's faster overall. There's an OTA out that pushes the October security patch and likely some software improvements. With Pie likely coming before the end of the month, I'm satisfied. If you get it, buy a case too - believe me. It's thinner width wise and slippery.

Pictures tend to be slightly better on the Nokia 7.1 but camera quality varies by person. One person could see a stunning photo and another says it's subpar. I would love a port of the Pixel 3 camera here.
Smooth experience here, but I'm not the sensitive type that bugs out over 2 vs 4 seconds to open an app.
Camera is way ahead of the Essential.
Great device overall.

For stock experience and better battery life than miui
I'm using fully stock 11.05.
I use it for the primary reason that I don't want to deal with bugs and incompatibilities.
Poco is scheduled for Android 10 so I'll wait for that.
After which maybe down the line I might unlock bootloader and install a custom ROM.
But by that time I will have a new phone I guess..
Right now I'm using iPhone 11 Pro 256. It's really fast trust me. And battery is better than android.
Reverted to stock miui 11 because of dreadful ghost touches on custom roms.
But stock is literally crippled compared to crDroid rom. It lacks many basic customization features, and it is severely bloated with apps you can't even disable, not to mention uninstall.

as and iphone user, it doesnt surprize me that you never unlocked bootloader!
also its unfair to say iphone11pro has better battery life than android? how did you comeup with this analogy ? you can say that iphone11pro 256 has better battery life than POCO f1 then it would make sense but EVEN then it will be unfair comparision where you are comparing 1000+ usd device with last year's 299usd!
Oneplus7Pro or Huawei Mate30pro or S10+ 512gb/5g version would be your best bet to test and compare iphone11pro256
why?
because as of today till up to now, iOS is NOT open for any other vendor to install and sell! if there was IOS based PocoF1 or iOS based oneplus7pro then you can say iphone11max is performing way better!
iphone is premium hardware seller where Google's mojo is software based!

How polite of you to take a simple comment and blow it out of proportion with assumptions and accusations. This is a forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion and in my opinion, apples to apples, the battery life on the iPhone is better than what I've comparatively used.
Also its nice of you to assume I know nothing of bootloaders etc. Going all the way back to my Sony Xperia and around 6 phones after, I've unlocked them all and used custom ROMs on all of them.
Perhaps you don't understand the value of stability.
Besides I'm still in warranty and I don't want to lose that. So please stay in your line with your stupid argument.
And have a good day.

Bloatware apps can be disabled via an app MIUI Hidden Settings downloadable from Play Store. Also they can be unistalled via adb without needing to unlock bootloader or root the phone

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of that app. Disabled 5 apps which I don't use. 4 Google apps and one xiaomi app. 15 more to go, because they can't be disabled this way. I also found the private DNS option there, which I had to tweak via activity shortcut the other day.
I'll dig around for the adb uninstall idea. Gotta read some stuff before uninstalling this and that. Don't wanna break the ROM.
This is the guide I used to unistall unwanted bloatwares. It's easy to re-install back the apps in case u found out later that you need them.
