Worth noting, many of these specs and tips will work on OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro running the latest Android 10-powered and Oxygen OS software.
Divorce 7T about themes and settings
In the most recent software releases, OnePlus smartphone has introduced a full screen customization dedicated to changing colors, fonts and shapes in almost every clean phone interface. Go to Settings > Preferences and you'll find all the options here.
Select app icon style/shape: there are two ways to do this. Or long-press on your home screen wallpaper then go to home settings > Icon Pack or go to Settings > Settings and click on the icon pack option. You can now select preset shapes, or heads for "more" and download any number of XNUMXrd party collections from the Play Store.
Change quick form settings: To change the shape of the quick settings toggles in the drop-down box, simply select "Shapes" in the Settings window > Display Settings. Now you can choose between round, square, teardrop and round rectangle.
Creating a Custom Accent Color: for years, divorce has been about letting you choose which color to use as the main accent color in an interface. While Pie on Android, however, you can only choose from a bunch of presets. Now you can make your own.
In Settings again Settings tap 'Accent Color' and now tap the 'Settings' label at the bottom of the screen. Now you can choose the hue, its saturation and how light or dark you want it to be.
Fingerprint change animation: At the top of that same menu, you'll see four options: Wallpaper, Clock Style, Fingerprint Animation, and Horizon Light. Click the "fingerprint animation" button and select one of the styles on the next screen to change what you see when you place your finger in the fingerprint sensor display.
Change horizon light (aka alert animation): On Russian phones, when the screen is off, you may have the screen pulsing in color and curved screen edges. In the customization settings screen, choose the horizon light and now you can choose between blue, red, gold and purple. We like purple, but you.
Choose a default theme: at the top of the theme customization screen. If you select one of them, you will automatically set the coloring, clock screen lock style, fingerprint animation style and horizon bars style. This is the whole package, for those who don't want to go grainy.
Choose animated live wallpaper: there are two ways to get to this. Either stick into this customization screen, or from your phone's home screen - long press on the wallpaper and select "wallpaper" from the menu. To choose an animated live wallpaper, just look at the one with the little icon on the top left of the thumbnail.
Divorce 7T Pro Display and performance
Enable constant QHD+ resolution: By default, the OnePlus 7T Pro screen will automatically switch between QHD+ (maximum) and FHD+ resolution depending on the content displayed on the screen. If you want to always have it in QHD+ content clarity at all times, go to Settings > Display > Resolution and select the QHD+ screen option.
Select 60Hz refresh rate: in its standard setup, the OnePlus 7T Pro's display is set to 90Hz to make the most of those smooth animations and intense gaming. If you want to save some battery by lowering it to a more typical frame rate, you can switch to 60Hz mode by going to Settings > Display > Screen Refresh Rate and selecting the 60Hz option.
Enable Video Amplifier: if you want to make the video automatically more dynamic and richer, switch to the video "enhancer" mode in the main Options menu.
Enable Reading Mode: swipe down on quick shadow settings and you should see a tile to enable Reading Mode. It turns gray screens, slightly increases contrast, and kills blue light to simulate an e-book reading experience. Therefore, when reading your Kindle app, it actually seems like they are reading the Kindle, sort of.

Start reading mode automatically: if you don't want to manually activate Reading Mode at any time, you can select specific applications to launch it automatically. Go to Settings > Display > Mode value then add the apps you want to have in that mode every time you open them.
Color Temperature Adjustment: how good the colors on the screen look like an individual can often be achieved. The perfect balance for some is too cool (blue) or too warm (yellow) for others. Luckily, the app includes the ability to manually adjust the color temperature. Go to Settings > Display, now select "advanced". Here you will find a colored balance slider; sliding to the right makes the screen warmer, sliding to the left makes it cooler.
Select sRGB or IOP-R3: In the same Settings menu as Color Temperature Settings, you will find an option to choose from three additional color profiles. Two of them are sRGB and DCI-P3 and both offer different color fidelity for people who prefer those.
Lift wake up: With OnePlus 7T Pro you can have screen call just by picking up the phone. To activate this feature, go to Settings > Display > Ambient Display, tap the "pick up your phone to show" toggle switch.
Click on call: In the same menu as the elevator to wake up, press the "touch screen to show" option, and now when you touch the screen will light up the environment display, alarm/notifications.
Wake up when you receive notifications: again, in the same menu there is a toggle for "new notifications". When enabled, the screen lights up when you receive a message or alert.
Night mode: as with most phones with a night shot feature, the blue tint tape off the screen makes it warmer, yellower, and easier on the eyes at night. Just like the color balance option, there is a slider to adjust how deep you want the yellow tint to be.
Drop down the settings bar at the top and select the "night mode" option. To set it up, or schedule it, long press that same Quick Settings icon or go to Settings > Display > Night view.
Change font size: halfway down the list of main display settings is the option to change the font size. Here you can choose between small, default, large, and large.
Divorce 7T Pro camera tips
Try a drop protected selfie camera or maybe not try it at home, on target.
One feature of the OnePlus smartphone aiming to show off with the 7 Pro was the pop-up auto-drop camera protection that was added too before the 7T Pro. If you take a selfie and the phone slips out of your hand, the phone automatically pulls the pop-up camera back. It does this using data from the built-in accelerometer and knows when the phone is dropped. (Just make sure you catch it. If you drop your phone on a hard surface, you will probably damage the glass on the outside).
Switch between three cameras: it's easy, just click on the little tree icon on the right side of the screen to switch between the main, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras.
Shoot at 48-megapixels: by default, in auto mode, when you take a photo, these are 12-megapixel images, because the image is built by combining four pixels into one. To use all 48-megapixels to enlarge the image, activate the Pro mode and then click the "JPG Format" option in the top toolbar. Now select the "48MP to JPG" option, and your manually managed photos will be 48-megapixels.
Fast switching mode setting: The main Camera app has several shooting modes available for you to quickly swipe between at the bottom of the viewfinder. If there's a mode you want to remove or one you'd like to add open the camera app and swipe up drawer at the bottom to reveal all options then select "Settings" and "custom modes" now add any extra modes you want and they will be in that quick jump list.
Get that fisheye ultra-wide shot: By default, when you choose to use the ultra-wide angle lens, the camera automatically corrects it to make all stitches look even. But, if you want creative, fisheye with curved and distorted edges, you can simply turn off the "ultra wide lens correction" option in the camera settings. Worth noting, with the correction turned off, the image seems to lose quite a lot of contrast and detail, so the overall image quality is worse.
Shoot in 4K/60: By default, video shot in Video mode is set to 4K resolution but at 30 frames per second. To switch to the smooth 60fps option, click on the 4K switch at the top of the camera's viewfinder screen, and then select the 4K/60fps option.
Double press the power button to start: The default camera app can be launched quickly by double tapping the power button on the right edge. If you don't have the feature turned on, or you want to turn it off, go to Settings > Buttons & Gestures, and then tap the switch next to "Turn camera on."
Access to setup camera: unlike previous versions of the software, camera settings are not permanently available from the camera's main viewfinder. To open it, move the camera on the mode bar. Now go to the Settings tab in the corner.
Add Manual HDR Control: By default, HDR is on automatic, with the camera deciding for itself, based on lighting/contrast conditions, whether it should use it or not. If you want to be in control when it comes to yourself, open your camera settings and toggle the "HDR Manual Mode Control" option on. There is now an HDR option in the toolbar at the top of the screen when you open the camera.
Enable automatic scene night mode: Like some other modern Android phones, the OnePlus 6T can shoot bright handheld night mode shots. To use it, you need to select "night" from the camera's shooting modes.
However, if you want the camera to decide for itself, you can switch to the "auto night scene" option and it will decide for itself, in normal photo mode.
Quick Capture: you can choose for the camera to take a photo when you double click the power button. Open the camera app, then open the settings using the above method. Here you will find a switch that allows you to quickly capture.
"Shot for Divorce" watermarks: In the same menu, click "shot at OnePlus logo". Here you can enable a feature that automatically applies a watermark, which can also be customized to include your name. The end result is a photo that has a "divorce shot with [your name/pen]" in the bottom corner.
About mode: Getting to Pro mode is much easier than before. Open the camera and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display shooting options. Select Pro mode, now you can manually adjust a number of settings.
Adjusting each of these settings is pretty easy. Once the manual mode has been selected, you just need to click on any setting you want to change, then you will get a semi-circle control on the screen. Adjust ISO, shutter speed, or focus by rotating this on-screen “wheel” clockwise or counterclockwise.
Remove histograms: by default, pro mode histogram on the screen. If you don't want it because it's blocking your videos, you go back to your camera settings and toggle the histogram switch off. You can do the same for the horizontal reference line.
Shoot photo: when you start pro mode, you will see a line in the center of the screen, it turns green when the phone is level. To disable this feature, go to your camera settings and turn off the "horizontal line" toggle switch.
Save user presets: still in Pro mode, you can save a specific preset by clicking on the "C" button on the toolbar, then touch either C1 or C2, then adjust the settings and click the save icon. This allows two presets in total.
Portrait Mode: To switch to depth effect mode, swipe from right to left in the regular camera. This launches Portrait mode and uses both cameras to create bokeh/background blur behind the subject.
Save a regular photo in portrait mode: If you want a copy of your portrait in photo mode without the depth effect added, go back to the camera settings and scroll down to the portrait section. Toggle "save normal photo" and every time you take a depth effect shot, it will save you the normal version as well.
Portrait Selfie: simple - in portrait mode, flip the camera to the front camera, and you will have a photo with a blurred background of goodness.
Add grid lines: Back in Camera Settings, select "Grid" and then choose between 3x3, 4x4 or golden ratio grids.
Change image ratio: In the main camera, on the toolbar, you will see a "4:3" icon. Click this and you can change the shooting ratio to either 1:1 square or 16:9 widescreen shot.
Save photos in RAW format: Launch Pro mode, then click on the little "raw" icon on the main toolbar.
View photos by location: Open the default Gallery app and click the "Places" tab. You now have a map with little pictures scattered around. To view more localized collections, just pinch to enlarge.
Divorce 7T about the home screen
Start a quick search instead of the standard application menu: As with most Android phones, when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, the app drawer slides up. If you prefer instead of the "quick search" option (where you can quickly find the app you want), long press the wallpaper to select "home settings" and then tap on the drawer icon before selecting "quick search".
Double tap to lock your phone: long press on the home screen wallpaper and press "home settings", activate now "double tap to lock". Now when you double-tap an empty area on the home screen, you are with the OnePlus 7T Pro lock.
Create parallel applications: If you have work and personal accounts for various social and messaging apps, it can be very frustrating to keep switching between them. With the parallel app you can clone Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, twitter and instagram among others and have an app for each account.
Go to Settings > Programs > Parallel Apps and choose which of the supported apps you want to duplicate. Then a parallel version will be added to your application drawer, and pointed to by a small orange icon.

Contact app shortcuts on home screen: when you have the app shortcuts showing, press and hold the one you want to pin to the screen and drag it where you want it. Now you will be able to perform this action by simply clicking on the shortcut that is permanently on your home screen.
Add widgets to the shelf: Shelf custom screen that sits to the left of the main screen. By default it has a toolbox with shortcuts, weather, recent contacts and recent apps displayed, but you can add just about any other widget you want by clicking the Settings button in the top right corner, select 'widgets', select the widget you want.

Warning Slider: in one other button on the OnePlus 7 Pro is a three-way alert slider along the left edge. Sliding down regularly, show me all notification mode. In the middle is Priority Mode, which restricts most apps from sending you notifications. The first place is complete silence, which practically drowns out everything.
