OnePlus 5 got the new update as Open Beta 13 with Project Treble support. In this build, the most exciting change is their brand new UI. The support for Project Treble is an outstanding feature, which should make OnePlus 5 compatible with Project Treble AOSP ROMs.

Launcher
- Improved search tags in the app drawer
- Added “New installs” category tag in the app drawer
- Improved app list for hidden space and toolbox
Phone
- Optimized logic for the contacts page
Weather
- Brand new design with improved user experience
Now it’s easy to find a newly installed App in the drawer, as this build adds a separate section for new Applications. The Weather App, Phone App, and Message App got a new update on their User Interface which looks pretty cool. Personally, I can say this is the best update for OnePlus 5 that I received till now. I am in love with my OnePlus 5, and you will be too soon.
This update packs a lot of cool features, but remember, if you want to update your OnePlus 5 via OTA (Over-the-air), you must be on the previous version of Open Beta software, (Open Beta 12). If not, you can directly flash the Official ZIP using TWRP Custom Recovery from my tutorial below.
Since this is a Clean Flash guide, you will lose all your data on installing via TWRP. So, before doing anything, please make a copy of all the data on your computer, so that you can restore them later. I always prefer a clean flash because dirty flash over the present ROM leads a lot of bugs in the phone which may drain battery and harm user experience. We have a list of Apps that may help you:
