OxygenOS Open Beta 9 (N) for OnePlus 3

For those on the stock OnePlus Oxygen firmware who wish to swap to the Beta 9, Nougat, you can download and flash it by carefully reading the instructions, here...

OnePlus 3 OxygenOS Open Beta 9

Please read, carefully and thoroughly, all installation instructions in the thread. DO NOT attempt to use TWRP custom recovery to flash this firmware without reading the above thread, first.

N.B. This beta build is for competent and experienced users.

(** Note: If you flash this Open Beta build, you’ll receive Open Beta OTAs (but not official OTAs). You’ll need to manually (clean) flash back to our official builds to continue receiving official OTAs. Rolling back to official OxygenOS versions require wiping data and cache.)

What the heck... it's almost Christmas Aquila!

Have re-emphasised, in post #1, that this is a BETA test release as there seems to be an awful lot of posters on the OnePlus forums who do not understand what this means.

I played with the Google beta on the 6, 5X, 6P, 9, Pixel C and small Pixel it went pretty smoothly, with some minor hiccups but very decent beta. Hopefully a lot of OxygenOS's beta has a lot of those bugs worked out given that they are able to take a lot of the features directly from the final AOSP drop now. I like Betas. Some people hate dealing with the bugs, but I like finding them and giving feedback and it's exciting to be on the new stuffs.
