I second that. Fossify also has a whole suite of other apps. It’s a fork from Simple Tools which sold out. Fossify Gallery is awesome and also available on Play Store. Other apps are making their way there. NB! Not connected to Fossify, just a fan of what they’re doing.


Wow, thanks for this important detail. I’ll be doing it from the Settings menu so I hope there won’t be any issues. I’ll report back once I’ve done it. EDIT: It worked without any problems. I disabled screen locks and the Google account (just followed the Android Central instructions) and voila, Bob’s your uncle.


Yup, I know a factory reset won’t revert it to stable. I’m happy with the beta because everything seems to be working okay. I can’t seem to get it to install security updates, but the app updates work. But it’s an older phone so I doubt I’d be getting security updates either way. Anyway, the person I’m giving it to will be using it like a dumb phone with a good camera, basically. Thanks for your input!



Is it safe to factory reset a phone running a beta version of Android?
I have a Oneplus phone which has a beta version of Android installed. I side-loaded it a couple of years ago from the official source (Oneplus website). I don't remember if it received any further updates, I think it didn't. I don't know how to revert back to a stable release. It has been working without any problems. I now want to give the phone away, so I need to factory reset it. Are there any risks to resetting a phone that runs a beta version of Android? Can resetting brick it? Thanks for any and all advice!
