Is rooting and installing this https://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/ the best way to block ads? I noticed the app hasn't been updated in more than half a year.

For those of us who've been looking at OpO from afar, what's the story with OxygenOS? They got sick of Cyanogen's crap and cut them out?

I thought OxygenOS was supposed to be a Google-less Android fork, but maybe I'm confusing that with Cyangoen's ultimate aims.

Oxygen OS was a response to some beef Oneplus had with Cyanogenmod in India, CM is still gonna be the thing that gets sent out OTA. From the people who've installed it, Oxygen OS is apparently a very near stock OS except that the update took like 5 months to come out.

Am I supposed to just never close websites on Lollipop? I just switched to show tabs in Chrome instead of the task switcher because I had 47 tabs and they were cluttering up the app switcher.

Didn't you use pie controls back in the old Browser? They were pretty easy to get used to but I don't know if they were intuitive enough to be a control interface for the common man.

I feel like my OPO is worth exactly the 320 or so I paid for it in 2014, certainly don't think the same would be true for the more expensive OPT in 2015.

Nexus 5x comes in at just over $200 if you buy through Fi and then cancel the service.

I'm in Europe so the Nexus 5X would be right around the 300 Euro mark, which I'd be ok with, I'm not sure about going with something with a smaller display tho.

Also, I thought the 5X didn't have the greatest performance: http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5x-three-months#slide2

Interesting if they do drop the Nexus branding and just put the G on it.

Bezels are pretty sizable but pretty nice lookin nonetheless.

When I hook up my phone to my PC it was always set to just charge and I had to select data transfer on the phone before I was able to copy files. I recently dropped this phone, a oneplus one, and now the screen doesn't register touches anymore. Is there any way to access my files on the internal storage?

Another thing, the 5X I bought to replace it did not come with a seal on the box, now, I don't necessarily consider the vendor shady but I wonder if there's any way to check if the device has been in-use before?

I've run into kind of an odd problem trying to move the google authenticator app to my new phone. I try to do it on my desktop but none of the options on the 2 factor authentication website work, like I can't edit any of my phone numbers or even turn off 2 factor altogether. Has anyone ever experienced this issue?

Off the top of my head: slow OS updates, out of spec USB cables, and a competition that encouraged forum posters to rate the attractiveness of female posters so they could win the chance to buy a phone.

It is a garbage company. Do not buy their garbage.

You know a phone has to be pretty good when two of the three biggest criticisms aren't even against the phone itself.

Is there anything I'm missing here? The OP3 is also an option but the fact that it's either loved or hated kinda scares me away.

I switched to a Nexus 5X from a Oneplus One recently and the 5X feels about as fast as that at best, so I imagine the Oneplus 3 would be quite a bit snappier than the 5X at least.
