One of many causes that made OnePlus smartphones fairly widespread among the many group is the main focus given to the software program expertise. The corporate modified the market when it launched its very first gadget with CyanogenOS – a fork of the favored CyanogenMod customized ROM. The partnership with CyanogenOS didn’t final for much longer, and the corporate needed to develop its personal software program. The corporate’s home of concepts introduced OxygenOS with a really close-to-stock Android strategy. It proved to be probably the most widespread Android skins on the market and a number of other customers desire it over vanilla Android. Final yr, nevertheless, OxygenOS took a serious departure from the stockish look to one thing extra private. The corporate began to introduce its personal tips for design bringing one thing that’s extra distinctive. Customers nonetheless have loads of choices to customise their smartphones, since customization has been one of many core options in OxygenOS. Based on a contemporary report, customization shall be deeper with the following main OS replace, OxygenOS 12. The corporate has introduced {that a} new OnePlus Theme Retailer shall be launched.

OnePlus Theme Retailer is coming within the subsequent main OxygenOS replace. Because the title implies it can mirror comparable options in Samsung’s Theme Retailer. How do you are feeling about this risk? Properly, OnePlus is able to hear its customers about its subsequent upcoming characteristic. For that motive, the corporate is internet hosting an Open Ears occasion to debate the addition and collect suggestions on Tuesday, Could 18th, at 10 AM Jap US time. The corporate might present a few of its designs there, because the picture above already provides a glimpse of what it’s creating.

OnePlus Theme Retailer shall be OxygenOS 12 reply to Samsung and Google’s theming choices

This isn’t coming as a mere coincidence. In the event you recall, Google’s Android 12 with Snow Cone codename, will debut with a brand new theme engine. Based on proof discovered within the developer previews, Google is able to introduce a brand new visible expertise with Android 12. We’re undecided if OxygenOS 12 may have an identical implementation. Nevertheless, OnePlus can profit from what Google is doing with its theme engine. Clearly, there are lots of ROMs that show that corporations don’t really want Google to introduce Theming.

OnePlus Theme Retailer will enchantment to smartphone patrons that like to have customized visuals on their units. The “Retailer” will be free or provide a mixture of free and paid user-submitted themes. Samsung does one thing comparable with its personal retailer. It permits customized theme creators to get some income by means of the corporate’s ecosystem.

For now, it’s unclear whether or not that “subsequent main replace” will come as a giant patch for OxygenOS 11 or if customers should wait till Android 12-based OxygenOS 12. Contemplating how lengthy OnePlus is taking to improve a few of its smartphones, we guess on the second choice.
