IST 05:46 pm: The stable OxygenOS 12 update is out for the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro but many users seem to have taken an instant dislike to the ColorOS 12 skin that has overtaken the previous minimal OxygenOS UI fans loved.

Apart from that, the update even brings a boatload of bugs and issues that left some users wondering if the company mistakenly rolled out a beta build rather than the stable version, as highlighted by a report.

The new skin does not allow users to change icons individually, customize the status bar, or even disable the Google Discover feed. Further, the Phone app can only be accessed via the homescreen or the Play Store.

Another bug that was noticed is that you can no longer kill all the running apps by tapping the ‘Close all’ button on the recent screen as the current app remains active.

IST 06:30 pm: It looks like after updating their devices to OxygenOS 12, the About Phone section one OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro is showing incorrect CPU information. The phone shows that it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 instead of Snapdragon 888.

IST 06:00 pm: It seems that factory resetting your OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro after installing the latest OxygenOS 12 update may get rid of some of the performance issues and bugs as highlighted by a report.

It’s possible that the new ColorOS base conflicts with some remnants of OxygenOS 11 which caused the various issues. So we’d suggest giving it a shot to see if it offers an improved experience. But this does not excuse the company for rolling out half-baked software.

IST 02:00 pm: OnePlus is reportedly jamming the breaks on the OxygenOS 12 stable update rollout for the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro due to the various bugs and issues.
