From the XDA blog came the news that the company OnePlus plans to merge its two operating systems Oxygen OS and Hydrogen OS into a single operating system in order to offer faster updates.
Few weeks ago, we announced from Smartponezine the launch of Oxygen OS 3.5 based on Android 6.0 Marsmallow. This triggered a barrage of criticism from users, since just after the official launch of Android 7 Nougat, the company OnePlus launched an update to an earlier version of Android.
We all know that OnePlus is a company that relies on the feedback of its users to improve their services and products . It seems that this time they have heard their users again and here is one of the first measures to offer updates in more reasonable terms.
The operating systems Oxygen OS and Hydrogen OS are both based on Android , only that Hydrogen OS is focused on the eastern market, with a user interface very similar to that of the iPhone . Some of the changes of this fusion have already been perceived in Oxygen OS 3.5, where softer colors are used, change the style of the buttons, etc.
This merger will bring characteristics of Hydrogen OS to Oxygen OS and vice versa, which may not like the most purist Android users. From OnePlus, suggest to users who are not convinced by the new operating system, that they opt for a ROM developed by the community, such as "ROMS de stock" or CyaonogenMod.
The really important thing about this news is that OnePlus now consolidates two development teams into one, which will allow the launch of updates more quickly. At the same time, having a single operating system will also improve the quality of technical service and support.
