2015-08-15
hey what's going on guys the marked and sang it from TechnoBuffalo and this is oxygen OS 2 which is based off of android 5.1.1 well oneplus is new and updated OS may look a lot like stock Android there are some neat differences that make the company's ROM a great alternative now if you were saddened by the breakup with cyanogen don't be it looks like oxygen OS is more than a worthy replacement right off the bat were greeted with an almost complete stock Android experience from the on screen buttons to the animations and the notification tray it looks identical to stock Android but dig around and there's some noticeable differences one of the newest features in oxygen OS 2 is shelf but you can access by swiping to the left from your main home screen shelf is essentially a screen would quick access import information such as frequently used apps contacts and other widgets it's not quite like Google now but it's a great place to quickly access your apps and contacts and it also allows you to keep your homescreen free of clutter the other new addition to oxygen OS 2 is dark mode which is a feature we saw in an early developer release of Android M the main purpose of dark mode is to essentially take all of the white elements inside the software and make them dark this will make using your phone easier to view at night when your lights are off aside from the really awesome dark mode feature you'll also be able to change the accent color from green to blue to orange to red you can pick from 8 different color accents to express your personal style oxygen OS who also supports custom icon packs in almost any format without you having to switch to a third-party launcher you'll be able to choose icon packs inside to launch your settings making customization super easy you can also change the app drawer as grid size from a standard 4 by 4 grid to a smaller 4 by 3 or to a larger 6 by 5 grid you can also rearrange the tiles in the quick settings pane by tapping on the square button and also hide certain toggles to give your settings pane a more minimalistic look something very cool that we absolutely loved in a 1+1 was the ability to switch between the on-screen buttons and hardware buttons that very same feature is still here and I'm glad oneplus left it for one plus two users gestures on a oneplus 2 are still present in oxygen OS 2 as well if your phone is locked for example you can simply draw a V to enable torch while drawing an oval launch the camera double tapping the screen will turn on a display and swiping down on the screen with two fingers will play and pause your music the tammer UI in oxygen OS who looks completely different - and it's sort of like a mixture between stock Android and iOS the icons and overlays are very reminiscent of Apple's camera UI while the animations and features are very much like Google's overall it's simplistic and modern and very easy to use oneplus also added app permissions in oxygen OS - which will allow you to take full control of what apps can access your camera location contacts and more this is very similar to what Google has planned for Android M in terms of security if a certain app is sending you way too many notifications or you don't want Instagram to use your location you'll be able to turn them off oxygen OS - on to oneplus 2 has been a blast so far it's buttery smooth and we think the new features such as dark mode and shelf are great addition to an already great OS oxygen OS - is very simplistic and modern with no bloatware which is great it also feels very light and snappy - we're still working on our oneplus 2 review at the moment but if you want to see more one plus new coverage like this you can check out some of the other videos we've done over here anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
