OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 adds support for Freeform Windows

OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 adds support for Freeform Windows.

OnePlus Launcher is designed to offer Speed, stability, and customizability. This launcher enables you to easily tailor your home screen to your needs. OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 has some new features which include support for Android’s Freeform windows as well as bringing the new app switcher.

The New App switcher feature is available from the Oneplus launcher 4.4 beta version but now it has come to a stable version.

In the new app switcher, the cards are slightly smaller and there is a small icon beneath the “card-view”.It replaces the instant “close all” button. The overflow menu is removed and to get the different options you need to tap and hold on the card.

One more interesting part of this UI is the scrollable icon strip below the card. Tap any one of them and you’ll switch immediately to that app. One can also tap and drag on the icon row to quickly scroll through all cards. Through this new feature switching between apps has become faster and more efficient.

The second interesting addition is support for Freeform Windows. Freeform windows let you minimize the app to a floating window that you can drag around the screen.

How to get Freeform Windows option

Enable Developer options on your phone (go to Settings -> About phone and tap the Build number repeatedly, then go back to System -> Developer options). Look for the Enable freeform windows toggle and turn it on. Reboot your phone. Now, when you tap and hold on any card in the app switcher, you’ll see a new Freeform option.

OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 is rolling out on the Play Store, you can download it from there. You can also download it from APK Mirror.

OxygenOS 14 for Oneplus 8 & 8T

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.

After the announcement of the OxygenOS 14 Close Beta tester for the OnePlus 8T, it has now been confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will be left behind in the race for software updates. Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.

Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.

Oneplus 8 OxygenOS 14

Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.
