OxygenOS

The OnePlus X software, OxygenOS, is our custom ROM based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), and comes packed with cool features. The launcher supports third party icons and also allows users to change their app drawer grid. From the launcher, swipe right to pull up Shelf, our glance-friendly feature that neatly presents your frequently used apps, favorite contacts, widgets, and more.

Notice:
Users can re-arrange their icons by long pressing on the home screen and clicking “Rearrange” to fix any clutter.

Ambient Display and Proximity Sensor

New to the OnePlus X are the added Ambient Display and Proximity Sensor features. Ambient Display wakes up your sleeping screen to alert you to new push notifications, so you don’t miss a thing. The Proximity Sensor shows you anything you may have missed simply by waving your hand in front of the camera or take your phone out of your pocket.

Notice:
You can enable these in Settings > Display.

App Permissions

Security was also a huge focus when building OxygenOS. App Permissions allows you to control what apps can access, things like location, identity, or contacts. Don’t want a particular app to bother you with notifications? Turn them off.

Customization

The default Dark Mode enables a system wide dark theme on the device. Disable Dark Mode for a white theme.

OxygenOS also natively supports custom icons packs, allowing you to drastically change the look and feel of your device. Options also exist to fine-tune the LED indicator, icon grid size, and more. Use Accent Colors to change the feel of your device. Champagne, a subtle gold color, is a new Accent Color exclusive to the OnePlus X.
