OnePlus 8 - a few questions as a new owner

Silent-Runner · Dec 25, 2020, 09:14 AM

So, i got the 8, still figuring out a lot of stuff. I have a few questions for those who have owned one

I'm looking for Icon-Sets, because frankly, i don't like the standard ones at all. Was searching the web for stuff like this

.
As far as i've seen there's no dedicated musicplayer, so what do you use for music?
Any apps i should have for enhancing photos?
still looking for a case, preferable one like these
Any other things i should know/use?

Thx in advance.

I have a 7T since the day it came out last year.

I use FluOxygen icon set. It was $2 on Google App Store I believe? There's tons of different options. For Music, I just use Spotify, but you can probably use Google Play Music if you want.

Photos on Oxygen OS are already good to go. I wouldn't bother with any other apps. If you know what your doing, the Peo mode is pretty solid.

thx, Nunz. I'll keep searching for Icon Packs then. Smoke & Glass from Hooolm looks like what i've been looking for. Maybe i'll give it a try, it's just 1,50 bucks

For music, I use YT Music since I have Youtube Premium, but I also set up a SubSonic server at home, so can listen via the DSub app I downloaded (I picked that one because it has Android Auto support). There's a free SubSonic app from SubSonic, it's decent.

Went to get my gf a new phone since her Iphone 7plus is 3yrs old and beat to hell..

Walked out with an 8T+5G because why not

120hz is sweet!

on a 7pro the refresh rate is smooth as butter waiting for the 9pro to upgrade (hoping for the new qualcomm merged modem and cpu chip for 5g, also sweet sweet wireless charging)
