OnePlus Tools lets you Customize OxygenOS and Unlock Hidden Features [XDA Spotlight]

With the recent release of the open beta of Android Oreo with Oxygen OS, users have had enough time now to play around with it and discover what they like and don’t like. If you’re looking to discover more hidden features or customize OxygenOS even further, we found an app to do just that. Called JOnePlus Tools, the application lets you customize OxygenOS 4+ and unlock hidden features on the OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, and OnePlus 5. The app has a handful of useful features, some of which require root and some of which don’t.

If you have root access, then great! You won’t need to do anything extra to set up jOnePlus Tools—just grant the app superuser permissions when you first start it up. If you don’t have root access, then some of the features will be restricted to you and you’ll have to manually grant the application the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission via ADB. We have a tutorial on setting up ADB that you can follow. Once you’ve set up ADB, all you have to do is enter the following command to make the app start working:

adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Now you can use jOnePlus Tools and unlock hidden functionality of OxygenOS! Here is a list of the features that are available, some of which we have covered in previous articles already (but is easier to access here since it is packaged in an application.) We’ll mark the features that require root by adding (ROOT) at the end.
