  • Android versions: From Android 7 to 13.
  • Requirements: Magisk.
  • Limitations: The front camera resolution is reduced to 4MP.
  • Suggestion: Perform a TWRP backup before applying the fix in case something goes wrong.

Instructions:

Magisk:

To install:

  1. Download and install the module via the Magisk Manager.
  2. Reboot.

To remove:

  1. Open Magisk Manager.
  2. Delete the module.
  3. Reboot.

TWRP/recovery:

To install:

  1. Download the zip flash it via TWRP.
  2. Select the correct device using your volume keys.
  3. Reboot.
  4. Repeat these steps every time you update your ROM.

To remove:

There are two options:

  • Dirty flash your ROM.

Or:

  • Flash the zip again and select the option to remove the fix.

TWRP options:

When flashing, use your volume keys to select what you want to do (install/remove) and which device you have (5/5T). If your volume keys don't work, selections can also be specified in the zip name (and you won't be asked to make selections after flashing the zip):

  • If the zip name contains "install", "Install", or "INSTALL" - DotFix will be installed
  • If the zip name contains "remove", "Remove", or "REMOVE" - DotFix will be installed
  • If the zip name contains "cheeseburger", "Cheeseburger", or "CHEESEBURGER" - Device will be selected as OnePlus 5
  • If the zip name contains "dumpling", "Dumpling", or "DUMPLING" - Device will be selected as OnePlus 5T

For example, if the zip is named "xyz-install-cheeseburger.zip", the installer will automatically install DotFix for OnePlus 5. Similarly, if the zip is named "xyz-remove-dumpling.zip", the installer will automatically restore the stock camera libraries for OnePlus 5T.
