Flyme OS, or Meizu’s Android skin, has been available for a number of other smartphones other than those from Meizu’s. This is done is quite a similar fashion to Xiaomi and it’s MIUI where the smartphone producer itself ports it’s own Android skin to other Android devices. Sometimes, the ports can also be unofficial. but when you have a device which has been really popular, there’s a good chance there is an official port available for one of these ROMs. The OnePlus 3/3T, for example, are quite popular smartphones and unsurprisingly, an official port of Flyme OS 6 is available for the devices.
Due to the heavy skinning involved though, these ROMs are not always running on the most recent version of Android. That is also the case with Flyme OS 6 for OnePlus 3/3T as it is running on top of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It is about to become a two-year-old version of Android in a few months. but with so numerous features and a completely different looking version of Android, you’ll probably never even notice. much more importantly, if you’re a fan of the Xposed Framework, that works with Flyme OS 6, it being only a version of Android Marshmallow.

Warning
Installing customized ROMs is not a process covered under a warranty of any kind. and even though it does not void the warranty of a OnePlus device it still is one of the risky processes. In case anything goes wrong, you mind end up with a bricked device. It is for that reason encouraged that you do your research before moving ahead if you’ve never flashed a ROM before. DroidViews, or even the developers of the ROM aren’t responsible for anything that happens to your device while flashing the ROM.
Prerequisites
Your OnePlus 3/3T should have an unlocked bootloader.
You don’t need a rooted device to flash a customized ROM but you sure will need a customized recovery installed on your device. TWRP is the preferred customized recovery for many.
Make sure your device has enough battery left so that it doesn’t run out of juice during the process.
In case things don’t go as planned, or you just don’t like the new ROM, you might want to have a full Nandroid backup of your current setup. This way you can restore it and get your device back to how it was before flashing the ROM.
Your device ought to already be running on an Android marshmallow based ROM.
