Oxygen OS has many interesting options. Just a few days ago we saw how to activate Night Mode or Reading Mode on the OnePlus. But there are many more options that the OnePlus customization layer allows us. For example, we can customize the buttons on the OnePlus to our liking and change their functions to make them more useful to us.
We can customize the buttons on the OnePlus as best suits us. For example, we can choose what we want to happen when we double-tap the start button or when we hold it down for a long time. The same with the back button or the recent button, for example. We can add shortcuts and other functions.
How to customize the buttons on the OnePlus
Customizing the buttons on the OnePlus is very simple. It will be enough that we go to the phone settings and in the configuration menu, in the “personalization” section, we will find a section called Buttons. We will have to click on this option and we will access all the possibilities that Oxygen OS offers us in the new Chinese flagship.
These are all the options how you can customize the buttons on the OnePlus 5:
- Backlight: enables or disables the backlight from the capacitive keys.
- Swap buttons: you can change the order of the button "recent" and "back".
- Navigation bar on screen: you can activate it.
- Always activate on home button: works even with the on-screen home button.
- Power button twice to open the camera: enable or disable.
- Long touch home button: choose what you want to happen when you do it.
- Double tap start button: choose what you want to happen when you do it.
- Recent button with long touch: choose what you want to happen when you do it.
- Double-tap recent button: Choose what you want to happen when you do it.
- Long tap back button: Choose what you want to happen when you do it.
- Double tap back button: Choose what you want to happen when you do it.
You can configure shortcuts in all these different options to have everything at hand from the mobile buttons. For example, if you press the back button twice you can open the voice search or open or close the split screen, among others. All this is very easy to configure and it will only take a few minutes and it will be much easier and faster for you to have everything at hand in your OnePlus.
