[Rom & Kernel Developers] Will You Now Be Buying An OnePlus 3T ? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

For those of you who already have the OnePlus 3, I would assume the chance is very slim - thats totally understandable
Will you now be buying the One Plus 3T and developing a custom rom/kernel for the device ?

I Think you should better ask in op3 forum..

Some Devs might not have a OP3 already ?
Asked in OP3 Q & A forum also.

I will buy it

I certainly won't be buying it due to the lack of sdcard slot, meh camera, lame screen, no VR but I will support it in the Kali NetHunter project as well as TWRP.
Already have a kernel repo updated, security fixed, and easily standalone compiled: https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996/commits/3T-android-6.0
Don't see what OP3 users fuss is about, there's really nothing special when you compare the 3T to the 3. I do think it's odd for OnePlus to release a new device for a higher price with little improvement and no incentive for other users to jump on the bandwagon.
ZTE's Axon 7 looks interesting for around the same price. (the extra 2 GB RAM and 200 mHz max clock boost isn't going to make any noticeable difference)
And it's got nice loud stereo audio, Daydream capable (soon), 1440p AMOLED, and an sdcard slot.
Shame about its availability.

OP3 roms should work on OP3T, right? I am looking for a new phone and I was thinking about OnePlus 3T but I am really afraid that it will lack a proper developer support. I would buy Pixel XL 128GB but availability is awful outside of the US.

They can be combined in sources and have very similar build trees, so it wouldn't take much effort to compile a OnePlus 3 ROM to work on the OnePlus 3T, but it would still require a different build.
Prepare for the influx of users posting "why wont this work on my 3t?!?!!!!"

I was about to get the oneplus 3, but after hearing about the oneplus 3t i rather just wait for that one. I hope op3 devs will work on 3t too

i will not buy it. but i am planning to work on this device. did this to other devices too.
planned: twrp, cyanogenmod, maybe beanstalk and marshrom

have the oneplus 3 and will be ordering 3T the day it comes available in belgium (28/11/2016).
Hope we have more ppl like flo071 developing... already a big fan of 14.1 thread
As mentioned before by others i also am afraid of the support (from oneplus aswell as from the community) because of the two different versions. Guess ill keep the regular 3 for a while for testing roms and keep the 3T stock apart from kernel and root.
greetz

I'll just leave this here on behalf of 3 devs.

Noooo reading that makes me doubt where I was so sure to buy the phone thinking devs would pick up asap on the 3T... Hmmm no kernel...

I'm hoping devs attempt to grab maintainers at least... I have the G5 from T-Mobile and funny thing...it's just now getting dev support butt I'm switching to the 3T anyways. I want the newer chipset, more ram, better faster dev support....pixel xl 128 cost too much. I'll miss my wide screen camera but whatever. I got a 360 camera if I need really wide pictures. Long story short the oneplus 3 has great dev support. I can't imagine the 3T will be any different. Oneplus will put out the camera libs eventually, they are probably holding out because they are redoing then for Android N and don't see a reason to release Android m libs when they will be useless come one month. I'm excited for this phone..I'll miss some things about my g5, but won't miss the dev community that took several months to push out anything.

Oh and the sapphire glad i bet will be much better any smudge..the G5 was a blurry smudge mess. Idk if sapphire has anti smudge properties.....I hope so...man this reply it's way off topic.

OnePlus has something planned for the devs

I am getting one, if it matters any

I've already got a zImage and Wifi module built for it. I just need the device in my hands to pull the ramdisk and test. Note though. It's only a stock kernel with the verifiedbootstate flag removed to pass SafetyNet and I don't plan on doing much else with it. I know the stock kernel performs great for me on the OP3 and I don't plan on straying too far from that. I will leave all the bells and whistles to the good developers.
Sent from my OnePlus 3 using XDA Labs

Kernel is the only thing I really care about to geek out on as for ROMs I'm happy with what oneplus offer in terms of features and customisation. And who knows what we will get with 7.0>7.1 update. They seem to of matured alot this generation so hopefully it will be a good year for owners.

We just need TWRP and then we can get some anykernel going, I am thinking this is a good candidate for some EAS from Pixel, what do you all think?

Someone posted they were going to work on TWRP, so hopefully that will get done soon. It will be possible without it but TWRP will make life a lot easier. As for EAS, I don't know much about it yet. RenderBroken just released a kernel for the OP3 that utilizes it. We could check that out and see how well it works for them.

My concern are Android updates

I think the specs for the OnePlus Three for the price are AMAZING and unbelievable, it's almost $150 less than the Nexus 6P, with 2016 flagship hardware, and the leaked pictures show it to be a very high quality crafted device. The new Three looks like a larger HTC 10, which is fine by me, as the 10 is a great smartphone.
But...
My biggest gripes with OPO are the slow Android updates. I recall Lollipop taking for god damn ever to officially make it out for the original One, like 6 months, or you could have installed the alpha CM11 at the time, which was pretty buggy until the bugs were worked out, obviously, but the official OnePlus One Lollipop OS update took a very long time.
This OnePlus Three will be lucky to see Android N within 90 days after the Nexus phones get it first in October, or you can install the alpha CM14 sooner on it, and live through all the kinks and bugs, that will have, while waiting for OPO to release N.
I thought one of the big features on these OPO phones being AOSP based, would have been super fast Android updates, not Nexus fast updates obviously, but at least faster than the skinned versions of Android like HTC, LG, Samsung, etc... but that hasn't been the case. I thought OnePlus would have the latest version of Android on them within like 30 days or so after Nexus phones, in reality they are worse than Samsung.
Bottom line; Great flagship hardware for a budget price. Beautiful design.
But...software is really amateur for an official professional phone release. I'd rather Cyanogen be back on board creating a stable pro CM13S for this phone. Oxygen OS still seems like some weekend development project.
OnePlus came late with their Android6.0 update for the OP2, so I share your concerns.
But the custom development for the OP3 will be great, so many ROMS there before the official updates.
And many other brands are also slow with updates, or even slower. (not an excuse for OnePlus )
I will go for the OP3 because:
to go for a device with guaranteed faster updates you limit your device choice, you will most likely pay a lot more, and the specs won't be much better, and the XDA development will most likely be worse.
So (expecting) slow updates is a legit disadvantage, but it doesn't win from the advantages in my opinion.
Good points thanks
Now let's see some real hands on reviews. How good is the AMOLED screen being in 1080p ? Is the build quality as high and great like HTC 10 ? Speaker sounds ? Feel in hand ?
I know hardware wise it's gonna be a champ.
I guess you did not see the news?
http://www.xda-developers.com/oxygenos-open-sourced-ahead-of-oneplus-3-launch/
Will that news get us Android N much faster ? I wanna see the OnePlus Three get Android N like 30 days after the Nexus phones, then i impressed.
I just got the one plus two yesterday, found out about the 3 two days after I ordered, ugh. No worries though, I believe it will be released by the 14th and that is well within my return period!
I can't even explain how cool just the box it comes in is! This is quality I would pay s7 prices for, hands down. I keep looking around for cops every time I pick up the phone, feels like I stole it! But seriously, the OTA's don't bother me a bit, they'll get here when they get here! I feel like the development here on xda will be enough to tide someone over until we get a proper image. I feel like this OP3 is going to be the banger for one plus all together.
The 1080p question the OP had, I honestly feel like that's just a marketing ploy by the big boys, can the naked eye really tell on a phone, even this size? For me personally, I don't notice anything! I honestly think you'll be able to look past both of those once you feel the box...lol!
Sent from my ONE A2005 using XDA-Developers mobile app
while we all are at xda, i don't really care about update from OP. You bet - the very first custom ROM will be available in weeks from June 14th and android N will be on OP# in days.
As someone who has paid top dollar for Samsung flagship phones, all I can say is that updates are slow here, too - maybe even slower than Oneplus .

Well, OOS isn't so "open-source". They forked CAF code and they put it on github.

I wouldn't count on that. The oneplus team is very small and it took them longer than lg and Samsung to release marshmallow.

Can you send me the boot.img from your device? I will remove verity checks and I am not sure if encryption is on by default, I can also remove that.

Developer Support

Just wondering what other developers have decided or shown interest in grabbing a OnePlus 3. I am thinking of getting one, but the cost is a bit steep to just support a device that I may not even use as a daily device. If there is a small amount of developers, I will be more likely to get one because I believe that users deserve to use their phone how they want, not how the OEM wants them to. This is more or less a roll call to see who will be supporting the device from a dev standpoint.

Yes, please consider - early adopters will lure more and more devs for sure.
And OP is dev-friendly too (according to the OP - you won't void your warranty by flashing custom ROMs/Kernels).

My problem is the price point still for a device that I I'll likely be supporting to ensure users get what they want rather than using it as a daily driver for a while. I support several Nexus devices and have done a bit on each OnePlus device in the past. I just want it to be a feasible purchase considering how large my support roster is already.

I can perfectly understand that. You - like me - do like to do things either perfectly or at least v. good or better leave them be if they are only 'ok'.
Nevertheless - please do consider. I am not promising anything but my guts tell me OP3 will have a larger userbase than the OP2.
And again - no promises - but I like beer and also like to send 'virtual beer/pizzas' to the devs I feel are putting big efforts to keep the users happy. Probably other humble users too :highfive:
Would be killer to have you onboard.
Yes come on board. I like your kernel.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that this device will attract a lot of devs, both kernel and rom wise. So while I'd love to have the dark side on board, you shouldn't stress your budget when you're not planning to use the phone. Just my $0.02.

For right now I will blind build a kernel and try to get kexec working. If I somehow get the budget to grab one, I will. I hear there is a BrokenOS coming, but do not ask anyone about it, just wait for a release. I will not bring UBER ROMs to this device because we do not run CAF based sources.

Just a friendly request, please keep on One rom and maintain it well. I am sure that many devs will come for OP3 because of its open nature and having a unofficial port of their rom might discourage them. So, please, focus on quality rather than quantity. I don't doubt that you can maintain 2 roms. But, as you are more with Beanstalk, please continue with it. You can go for maintaining more roms one source for custom roms gets stable and no dev from a particular rom comes. Don't take it wrong but just a friendly request.
Thanks.
And BTW, better if you maintain only for the devices you have. And if you are maintaining for a device you don't even have, maintaining more than 1 rom for it becomes too weird and not good for the device users as you won't be able to contribute much to device specific stuff that way. So, if you don't own device, for now, it will be better if you just maintain one rom at max so that some developer who owns device can maintain and he doesn't get discouraged (happened with op2 and happens with opx too)

I agree, it is hard to maintain several projects at once for one device, let alone a few. IIRC, a lot of you come across from other OP devices too, not sure if you are dropping support on previous devices.

Good. Though I think for better support to users, one, especially a kernel developer, must have the device. Users can't always get the best of bug reports and it becomes a lot hectic to support devices (like it happened on OP2 ) Infact, it doesn't give a good pressing on a developer's image to be honest. Take your decision but believe me, it will be better if you get the device and maintain.
Thanks.

I think you know me. Remember me from one group we created ? I think of you can get a device, do support it. Infact, in one way, people support of you support them. So, get a device, support the device and a lot chances are that people will support you and you might be able to overcome all expenditures on the device. And believe me, many devs told me this too. And I know your kernel from 6P. Will be great if you can support, and prolly you *might* have a surprise too (I am not saying anything, but, well) . We do need your support, but it will be best if you can support when you have a device too. It will generate people's trust upon you and also you won't need to get with wrong bug reports.

Likelihood of OP3 roms being compatible with OP3T?

The custom rom/dev support for the OP3 is nothing short of amazing.
What is the likelihood of roms for the OP3 being compatible with the OP3T? Or will devs need to create custom roms for the OP3T and treat it as a completely different device? I'm hoping that rom support for the OP3T will be as active as the OP3 very soon after its release.
It's easy to add support for the OP3T. Just prepare a patch of the kernel and apply it to the current ROMs.
The OIS improvement might be only firmware, so no ROM/user app space responsability.

Nothing more than F2FS I think. Read kernel sources and seems like Oneplus added native support to f2fs in their latest commit.
so the community will stay on OP3 or move to OP3T? I am in need to buy phone now or soon and thinking of buying OP3 for better community, but OP3T has some improvements.
Same question here. I was looking for something to replace my not-so-premium-builded nexus 5x and i was almost decided for the op3 due to its great community and development, but now i see the 3T and that extra 400mAh are worth it (821 its great tho), and gosh that gunmetal color it's just soooo beautiful

Still interested in hearing from some devs if OP3 ROMs will be compatible or not? Will we simply need a kernel patch or completely different ROMs? The community is a huge reason I'm considering this phone and if the 3t won't have the same community, it really isn't worth it then, IMO.

That is sad, but maybe there is quick fix to have working rom on both so support will be similar.

The op3t is no option for someone who is already using oneplus3. And yes the rom/kernel development on xda will always be better for OP3 compared to OP3T. Because most of the good dev already use OP3. And you cant blame them not buying OP3T. I think many roms / kernels can still be made for OP3T by OP3 devs even if they dont have the device. But dont think there will be better kernels or roms for op3t. Op3 will allways have much better xda support than op3t.

True. Moreover in 6 months there will be OP4 (a new device for devs to buy..). No point of buying minimally improved device when the previous one been around less than half a year..

Perhaps I misunderstood from the sites I've been reading, but it sounded like people were suggesting that this move meant that their next release of the OP4 would be around this same time next year... If the new OP4 is definitely coming out in 6 months, this seems like a pretty pointless upgrade.
Still thinking about getting 1+3t since the devs stay with 1+3.....would be terrible if the xda support for 1+3t will be bad.
I would prefer the bigger battery and cpu but without dev support i won't get it
Still hab 2 days to use my RMA so I will decide...

True. Moreover in 6 months there will be OP4 (a new device for devs to buy..). No point of buying minimally improved device when the previous one been around less than half a year..

They should release OP4 in November 2017.

[RIP] OnePlus 3

Just going to leave this here.
http://www.androidauthority.com/oneplus-3-officially-discontinued-us-europe-729580/
If this is indeed true how long will OnePlus continue to support and develop for a device they no longer sell?
And I really hope this is not true.
They already confirmed that both phones will be on the same schedule regarding updates.
Yup, here's the article:

Time will tell on this one.
It will be very interesting to see what path OP take now, they are sending out very mixed messages about the OP3 and this is not good at all.
I don't care if I cannot buy the phone anymore as long as they support it and develop for it as if it's STILL their flagship phone.
It's OnePlus don't expect any miracles, I love the device but so many draw backs within the company, software etc... makes me look past the pricing and should just stay with Pixel no compromises, OTA + Source on time no bs, My first and last OP device
Well considering the two devices are really similar and i don't think the development on s820/s821 is that different, the support will not die. OP knows OP3 is a successful phone and abandoning it within few months will mean they have lost valuable customers. OP 3T is a ****ty move from them, no doubt, and they have lost me as a customer for sure.

Coming from a developer (you make the no-root CM version, right?) does that mean you don't think community development will continue as is has before?

It will continue but it still needs OP to release the source code in a timely fashion, to update the blobs for the hardware to better support the camera, graphics, cpu and my concerns are despite what they say support will dry up it's just a matter of when.

They are different enough to annoy some very well known dev's such as flar2 who develops elementalx and boeffla who develops kernels also for cm13/14/oos.
If the dev's say they will no longer purchase a oneplus then that's 2 or 3 or even more who will leave for pixel or other devices.
It's the first time for me, a manufacturer is reasoning an upgrade with high demand and getting parts faster to produce more devices... Especially as they were saying that the display was the troublemaker... Not the SoC, not the battery and not the front camera...
Dont think so, the oneplus 3 gets Support the whole Street.
Question is only what the Developers will do, will they leave for the op3t or will they stay. Think they could stay and Release there Kernels for the op3t also. Should be not so much difference or?
Can we cry right now?
Ye only if you don't have op3 yet
Devs here are to good to cry man
i dont see any point to cry. the support of every device ends somewhen, this isnt anything new right?
and as its said that updates for OP3 come along with updates for OP3T, the release of the OP3T basically changed nothing.
you can also say "RIP Phone X" as soon as its released because you know "Phone X 2" will come soon or later and the company will focus more on that new one.
so sorry but the title of this thread "[RIP] OnePlus 3" is nothing more than panicmongering without any base.

Not when the device is replaced after 4 months... Plus they haven't been sticking to their software update timeline still waiting for last months Stable OTA (I guess working on official N) and mostly source code is delayed already which is angering devs that want to work on this device meaning even more delays now they working on the 3T. Really ****ty move by 1+..

If it's so than i never buying op phone ever again
I can't believe the butthurt going on.
I've had android phones for long enough now, including a few Chinese ones too. Buying any phone other than a Nexus/Pixel is a gamble when it comes to updates.
Buy a phone for how it is NOW, as it is now the OP3 works great. It's getting android N too. If they ended it with just android N I'm classing it as a win! Anything after that is a bonus.
And I can't wait for all the crying when they release the OP4 and people are saying "My OP3T is obsolete after only 5 months" and "Am I getting a refund I've been robbed because you released a new phone without telling me".
I've owned phones from HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, ZTE and more than I can remember.

Boeffla has already confirmed he is not buying 3T. No idea about flar2. I personally wanted to wait for a nexus but the Pixel prices just ruined my dream of owning a Nexus phone, lol.

I was hoping they would do a scheme like apple early upgrade where you pay for it over 11 months then get a new phone on the 12th but hey no dice, shame really as I would never part with that much money for a phone if I had to buy it out right.

device concern

Is development of op3 going to stop now that oneplus has discontinued it?
They may not be manufacturing it but they are still updating it and it's a pretty new device, devs are just getting started

Sorry IF its rude but Dont you think its a dumb question? the device is barely 6 months old and as far as we know oneplus is a company which supports its devices till quite a long time and every device is under Upgrade for atleast 2 years from launch oneplus 3 still has alot of love to take Just because a newer version is launched doesnt mean the support it dropped or most of the OEM would like just leave devices without any updates
None taken...Maybe I wasn't clear.. talking about unofficial devlopment.. Maybe dev of custom Roms lose intrest now that new version is available so soon... One good news though price drop in india available for about 280$ now was thinking of buying
Ps. Sorry for another "dumb" question
Unofficial developer support is definitely not going anywhere. All popular devices get lots of love from developers for years to come. And OP3 is the definition of "popular" ☺️
