Besides this, the Paranoid Android Sapphire Beta 1 build is said to be rolling out for the OnePlus 5 or the OnePlus 5T smartphones. Despite being the first beta release, the build has no major stability issues. The only shortcoming is that its off-screen gestures are not working.

However, the report suggests updating the phone to the OxygenOS Android 10.0.1 build to install the custom ROM on the device.
