The OxygenOS 3.1.1 Community build for the OnePlus X adds the ability to move apps to SD card; improves touch responsiveness, speed, and accuracy; improves HFR setting in video capture; implements September Android security patches, and brings general bug fixes. OnePlus has fixed some of the known issues for SD card stability which was first reported that "Move to SD card" in settings sometimes did not work.
