WARNING! Open Beta releases are for competent and experienced users since they may not always be stable and are for the purposes of testing and reporting to OnePlus to help them develop future stock firmware and features. By installing this Open Beta, you accept the potential risks. Once on the Open Beta pathway you will no longer receive the regular OnePlus, Official Stable OTA's and you will need to completely wipe your phone before attempting to return to Official Stable OnePlus stock firmware.

If you have the McLaren OnePlus 6T you, "may", lose the McLaren Warp Charge animation/facility by flashing this Beta firmware.

(N.B. Open Beta is not available for the T-Mobile carrier minority variant)

This is the 6th Open Beta release for the 6T in 84 days

I see that a 4GB Swap File has been added to this Open Beta release. "Perhaps", to help gamers on things like PUBG with apps closing. We shall see. If successful, it will be in a stable update for the global model.

This app refers to it as ZRAM which is slightly different.

Some users felt that the use of a ZRAM/Swap file was detrimental to the overall performance of this Open Beta and needs to be removed.

Thanks to Yannis Neris over on the OnePlus Open Beta forum, I have disabled the ZRAM/Swap/memplus feature in the latest build as follows...

"Add these build prop lines, save and reboot"

persist.vendor.sys.memplus.enable=false
ro.vendor.qti.config.swap=false
