OnePlus 5 and 5T get OxygenOS Open Beta 2 with April 2020 patches

Last week OnePlus finally delivered on a promise they made back in October of 2019: to update both the OnePlus 5 and the OnePlus 5T to Android 10. As such, the first OxygenOS Open Beta based on Android 10 was released for both phones, allowing users to test drive the early software release and provide their feedback ahead of the official rollout.

It may take several rounds of Open Beta releases before we see the final update rolled out, but we’re making steady progress in that direction as the second OxygenOS Open Beta based on Android 10 has just been released for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T.

As expected, Open Beta 2 is mostly a bug-fixing update, and we’re not seeing any major shuffle in terms of new features or UI changes. The update optimizes the split-screen experience, improves general stability, fixes unspecified bugs, and also bumps the Android security patch level to April 2020.

The full changelog for Open Beta 2 is as below:

System

• Optimized split-screen operation experience
• Improved system stability and fixed general bugs
• Updated Android security patch to 2020.04

For some reason, this update will not be rolled out as OTA to Open Beta 1 users — as OnePlus previously mentioned in their blog post. Instead, users will have to install it manually. If you’re running the first Open Beta you should be able to install the new update without losing any user data. But if you’re coming from the stable channel, make sure to backup your data beforehand as flashing the Open Beta build will wipe everything.

To install Open Beta 2, download the update zip for your device from the below links:

Download OxygenOS Open Beta 2 for OnePlus 5

Download OxygenOS Open Beta 2 for OnePlus 5T

After downloading the update package, open a file manager of your choice and move the update zip from the Downloads folder to the root directory of the internal storage. Now navigate to Settings > System > System updates and click on the menu button located in the top right corner. From there, select Local Upgrade and select the update package placed in the root directory to begin the installation process.
