Here is a guide on how to install it:https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/

Here are the instructions from the guide if you have not installed a custom recovery. I managed to upgrade my OP2 in 10-15 minutes. It's very easy

Its very stable and much faster than in Android 5.1.1. This is how OP2 should have been from the start. It uses the new Fingerprint API that the latest nexus phones use, so the fingerprint scanner is much faster and much more accurate, and is on par with all the latest android flagships. However it is a bit laggy at the start. Let apps update and reboot a few times. 

 

post your experiences with the update s I would like to know

I just got it on my LG V10. The improvements to the fingerprint readers is amazing.

Yes, good thing Google opened up the fingerprint API from the new nexus phones

it works wonders

Great news. Performance improvements are always welcome. I'll just wait for the official release for my OP2

Well, I find cyanogenmod nightlies to be pretty stable. More stable than Sony's software on my Z2, that's for sure

Yeah, Screw sony!

Their software sucks. 

My old Xperia SP was supposed to get updated to Android 4.4 but sony called it a day and didnt even update it. They also ended software support for it 2 months early

Ikr!? I have to give it to them though, since they allow me to unlock the bootloader so I can replace their shitty software
The worst thing is that their skin is supposed to be really close to stock and only have a few extra features. And it is taking them months to release Marshmallow. I honestly don't know what they're smoking there. Hell, even Samsung is better at updates

Even OnePlus is better and they have only been marking phones for 2 years!

This is highly disappointing, I thought OnePlus would be fairly timely with oxygenOS, being 6 months late to the party is not acceptable.

True. 

Its basically stock Android.

At least they are trying considering this is their second phone
