LineageOS 15 based on Android Oreo 8 can be downloaded & installed on OnePlus 3/3T. The stock firmware (OxygenOS) will be overridden once you update OnePlus 3 to LineageOS. As far as OxygenOS is concerned, it’s one of the finest Android flavoured UIs ever made. But if you wish to further extend the customization on your device, LineageOS is a good choice.

I have already covered several guides to manually update OnePlus 3/3T versions to various OxygenOS builds (including the latest releases) and you may refer it for flashing the stock OS if you wish to. However, in this tutorial, I will be guiding you update OnePlus 3 to LineageOS 15 running on Android Oreo 8.
