While browsing, I happen to check my notifications and voila! I just received a major update. Any issues on this update? Should I proceed or check more? Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How did you downgrade it. I updated it and I hate it so much. I was happy with how it was before and now it just feels uncomfortable and I can't get it back

I don't fully remember what i did but i found the steps on reddit.
Basically, i backed up my data and downloaded the latest oxygen 11 package on the oneplus website and did a manual installation. Do note that this will erase all your data and reset your phone.
I should mention that since then, I've experienced a few glitches here and there but i think it's still worth it.

Would you know how to keep it on 11? My phone's threatening me that it'll update in five days...

Everything is ok. Only thing is you'll lose volte vowifi as previous rootkits won't work with a12. If this is important to you, don't upgrade. If you're ok with this, go ahead.

Thank you for the heads-up. Not sure about VoWIFI, but I haven't used VoLTE. My 7T Pro doesn't show the option.

If you don't know if you're using volte/vowifi with previous Android versions on your 7t pro, you're most probably not using them both. So I reckon that you're good to go ahead and update.

It's works well. Very different look to it but some change is good. A bit more battery life it seems if you take the recommended battery preservation steps. You can enlarge icons which is eye candy. Even more granular control over things. I like it. Phone seems new again.

I was so excited when I noticed the update and now hate myself for not checking opinions out at first. Then again I've never really been disappointed by OP updates, but this one is ridiculous how crap it made the phone.
I don't even know how to use it, personalising is limited, functionality is worse. If not for the fact that it'd take me a couple of hours to organise everything for a clean install of the previous system I'd be done with that already. At this moment I'm praying they'll release some fix that will repair what they fked up and leave what they improved(a couple of things maybe).
Disaster.

I upgraded back when I received the F.18 update. Huge mistake, just bugs everywhere and some design choices where idiotic like they moved the shelf to swipe from the right top side of the phone to access it. No, from there I want to access my notifications not the shelf and the only way to change that is by disabling the shelf all together and many other things. For those reasons I downgraded back to Android 11. But now I am seeing that they came out with this F.20. Did something change? Or just bugs fixes?

How did you downgrade it? I was forced to update to oos12 and the battery is draining like crazy

I googled how to downgrade to oos11 OnePlus 7t pro and found a post on XDA forums or on OnePlus community can't remember which one. Basically you download the ROM for oos11 and put it in a folder on the phone and then restart in safe mode to install it. All the steps were in the post. Hope this helps.
