DISCLAIMER: this is not another generic speculation thread just to throw around guesses about dates for the 4.3 release. yes, i am asking you to speculate, but i have a legitimate reason for posing this question, so please, do not troll and/or flame. thank you.
so my nexus 4 arrived today. i'm eagerly awaiting getting out of work so i can get home and get to playing with it. i absolutely intend to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery/rom/kernel. however, word is that 4.3 is set to release on june 10th (or thereabouts) which is this monday. i'd hate to take the time to do all of the aforementioned things, only to have to reflash stock shortly thereafter in order to grab the OTA.
do you think 4.3 will actually drop this week, and as such, i should wait before going flash crazy?
or i guess an even better question is the one posed in the thread title. if i flash a custom rom now, how long before the rom will update to 4.3? i'm going with PA and probably the latest franco. can't wait to play around with halo!
as soon as the source is out.... they'll be out with custom roms with the very basic stuff like deodexed, superuser and such
no go flash crazy, enjoy it while you can. even when 4.3 is out, it'll take time to backport all the existing customization and features to 4.3
Do this unlock the bootloader flash custom recovery flash SU zip then make a nandroid backup then flash any ROM kernel or mod you want. If the ota comes out then you can just flash your backup and install ota with no problems.
Roms will be updated usually with in a few days after the source is released just because the ota is released doesn't mean the source is out

I would'nt bother waiting.. since google editions of other phones have been launched it means the wait will be longer, since they will have to all get the update together so as not to advantage one phone over the other... now i hear sony is have a google editon too, the wait will be even longer still.

My old Nexus 5X has already died with the bootloop issue, now I don't want to my Nexus 6P to die too..
Should I downgrade it to marshmallow?
I know that most people are claiming this as an hardware issue, but I actually don't believe on it, since both 5X and 6P with two completely different brands are getting the same problem, at the same time.
I'm also thinking of moving to CyanogenMod 14.1 (Not sure if anything changes..)
Curently I'm on Stock 7.1.1 NMF26F + FLASH-N6P Kernel
No! Suit yourself, but I would simply upgrade to N4F26I and enjoy your phone. There is nothing wrong with running stock and you have a good kernel. Viva! Saúde!
Until it boot loops like so many of us have had happen. If you are in warranty, the company is swapping them out with little aggravation. If you are not in warranty then maybe you have a good point. I for one will be running RR 6.0.1 until some real info comes out. Once was enough for me.

You realize that CyanogenMod is dead and that there will be no further development? People have been having the boot loop problems with custom ROMs as well as stock. Mine bootloops every time I flash updates, switch ROMs or try to restore a backup. So far I've always been able to get out of it. If your bootloader is unlocked every boot loop isn't necessarily the boot loop of death. But if your bootloader is locked you have pretty limited options to try and fix the phone. If you feel more comfortable on Marshmallow then just stay on your current ROM. But if you are going to flash a custom ROM I would stay away from CyanogenMod.

I know that CM is dead, but probably there will be unofficial development. I was thinking about it, because I would still have Nougat instead of Marshmallow..
My January OTA has just arrived, and I just blocked the notification, but I'm really thinking to flash the stock Marshmallow..

Why do you say stay away from CM? It is actually very stable. I've had no issues with it besides the battery crap on N. The dedicated CM maintainers are working on Lineage OS still. They have released a few nightly builds, but not sure if they are going to try and get a automatic build server up and running again for the OTA nightly builds.

Lineage is starting from scratch. My understanding is that CM ceased to be open source after it was sold and Lineage can't simply update CM ROMs because that code is owned by the company that owns CM. There will be no more official development of current CM ROMs so I can't understand why anyone would want to use their ROMs. There are other ROMs that are in active development and are updated regularly so why not use them instead of CM?
I know this thread hour into the weeds regarding CM but in reference to downgrading, as I said before it's a judgement call. The boot loop of death does not appear to be happening on 6.0.1 so it's all about what you can deal with if it goes south on 7.x.x

Lineage IS CM. It literally is only a name change. If you go to the GIT you'll see, or even go to the CM thread. It's just the company and name is dead. All the source files were moved by maintainers and it was all rebranded to be called LineageOS. They just no longer have the pockets to run things the way it used to be.
And as far as custom Roms go, they are all the same. They are all either based on AOSP, or the Stock(Google) firmware of the device. They all carry the same features that they renamed to whatever the name of the ROM is. That has always been the problem with stock Android devices.
I have a 6p that does not know Nougat yet, I'll stick to MM until further clarification.
No issues - latest MM, SuperSU 2.79, Xposed v87 and Franco v28.

Do some more research before releasing false information. Lineage OS isnt starting from scratch lol. Do you follow their threads or github? Cyanogen 7 was my first ROM on HTC Inspire...and it was BEASTMODE. They were pioneers on a digital frontier, and in my book OG. The name may be dead but Lineage is here to stay and they have all the OPENSOURCE code. Long live Cyanogen!!!!!
Well I downgraded as soon as the bootloop threads started to pop. Sorry to say it died in a week. Signs before the bootloop death, heat up, battery discharges rapidly, then whilst I was in a middle of a call, it rebooted to bootloop of death.

Bad news, and there isnt official answer from Google
I was running MM and never once upgraded to N or used any beta previews always on MM. And mine started the bootloop of death 2 days ago. So I would say no don't downgrade it won't improve your chances of avoiding it

That's actually good to know since the overwhelming majority of people on these threads seem certain that Nougat is to blame. Were you doing anything in particular when the boot loop hit?

i do not understand what this thread is supposed to be about, are you people saying that a stock nexus 6p with no kernel mods or custom rom can just spontaneous go into a boot loop? and now people saying it can happen on MM and it is not just a N issue? or is this only for modded devices? or is it mainy something that ahppens on stock N?
my 6p has major battery issues and drains at about 1% per minute on stock MM, i need to RMA the phone now and it is on MM
i want to root it and install xposed so i do not want N , i found this thread looking to find out if a downgrade from N to MM is possible
so if my phone gets returned to me on N or if they send a new phone to me and it is on N, then am i stuck with N or can i downgrade in back to stock MM?
phone is not modded to root no TWRP no backup will i be able to get on MM if they return my phone on N or send a new one on N?
Hi all,
seems that the installation methods are a little different compared to the normal run of the mill installations which is normally required.
As im on custom ROM and always have been I'm not aware of what is available on stock.
Slightly hesitant to commit to installing if there is an impending official version.
cheers.
Yes, Oreo OOS 5 is official. There are plenty of threads on this particular subject.

thanks though mate, I'll keep an eye out for it, appreciate it :good:

precisely what I was thinking, my thinking is I can upgrade but I'd be leaving behind some serious stability, stamina and performance. Not to mention that I don't know what does or doesn't work on Oreo.

I could be wrong on this, but I think xposed won't work on Oreo. Most other apps shouldn't have any compatibility issues.
So far the overall experience of official Oreo OOS 5 seems to be a bit snappier and performs better than Nougat.

I don't care for xposed and until it's a final release I highly doubt it'll give the same stability I have right now.
Either way I won't be committing to Oreo until it's officially released and stably within custom ROMs.
I have installed OREO on my work phone, and for the moment I am not impressed by O. Nougat is so stable and refined after all, not very clear why to upgrade...?!?!?!?! I will maintaine N on the OP5 until FaceLock comes includede in O-

Fair enough. It's hardly a secret that many users have experienced boot loop issues when upgrading to OOS 5.0, maybe that was the main reason why OnePlus decided to pull back the OTA. But loads of users have successfully flashed the rom and it stable as a daily driver, not to mention several users have already noticed a performance gain over the old Nougat rom.

that's kind of what I'm getting at, we need an officially released base which can be used without any odd Flashing instructions and only with bugs which would affect the device as expected.
ie: stock OOS should work fine, LOS and AOSP will more then likely have some issues, which is to be expected.
From what I've read, there has been another base released.

I agree completely. I refuse to use anything other than h2os now. I get such insane battery out of it but it seems to be on the back burner in terms of updates so i expect oreo to be a long ways out. Its cool there are open betas for it though but unfortunately the betas dont allow google apps. Side thought, it would be amazing to see some development for h2os.
For those of you who are on the Open Beta version of OOS, what has your experience been like?
Has anyone ever experienced bugs so severe that the software doesn't seem daily-driver worth?
I'm thinking of switching from Stock since the security patches are more up to date and updates in general are more frequent than Stock as well.
However, the word 'Beta' in the title does slightly concern me as I still would like to have an OS that I can rely on. I don't mind a few small bugs here and there, but nothing to the point that stops primary functions of my device (i.e. calls and sms).
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I used beta 8 and now I'm on beta 9. No issues.

They're not typical betas, all the significant bugs are worked out in their internal alpha testing, or whatever they can it in house. Basically pre-release of the official builds

They run a closed beta prior to releasing the open beta so most bugs are ironed out early
I've been on the open betas since OnePlus 3,now on 6T, never had any problems that I can think of.
The very early betas ,1,2,3 of a new Android version are the ones with bugs,the further you go,the less buggy it is.
Overall very stable now,no problem,you won't regret going to open beta
Appreciate your feedback guys! Its been all positive too so it seems like I will most likely be switching to Open Beta. Now I just need to find a day and time to dedicate the switchover as I've read it requires a clean flash :silly:
They are not that much of a beta
Beta is one step before a release most the time. In these situations there are not RC versions. But there are closed beta and alpha groups. One plus isn't as bleeding edge as they used to be in terms of software. The larger the money involved the further away from bloody edges people/corps get.
I can say the same as others in this thread. I'm always running the betas and they've all been solid for me! Running beta 9 with custom kernel and some magisk modules right now! ?

Using Beta 9 as my daily driver. No crashes. No unexpected reboots.
Used Beta 8 and the phone would be up for days.
I typically reboot every 3-4 days or after a lot of application updates.
Despite numerous issues posted in the beta threads I have never encountered an issue. I have had battery issues with Google Play Music but I really think its google's app that is causing the problem.
The Beta's are usually just as solid as any release ROM. I dont even consider them Beta to be honest with you. As soon as they come out I update. On Beta 9 right now and it is rock solid.

Appreciate the feedback! So what has the install process been like, coming from stock? I've been doing some reading and to my understanding, it's the following:
Factory reset in TWRP
Wipe data in TWRP*
Flash full OB9 zip
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot system
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk
*Just not sure if it's wipe data or format data

When going from stock to beta, you actually don't have to wipe anything! It's nice, you won't lose your data. The same can't be said for the reverse though, that requires a format. Keep in mind, formatting userdata wipes EVERYTHING! Your pics, music, apps, everything.
Process for moving to beta to make it simpler.
Flash beta
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot to recovery (don't boot system yet.)
Install custom kernel (optional entirely)
Flash magisk (having TWRP means you NEED magisk to boot the device.)
Boot system!
???
Profit! [emoji6]
In fact beta are the latest stable with new options/features.

If primary functions of a phone are not stable, that should never called a "Beta" version. That is an "Alpha" version of software. Software is called "Beta" after the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet. Meaning it is the 2nd generation of development. It is the final step before stable release. So while I can't say that you won't find some minor bugs, it would never be expected to find major issues in a true Beta version. All the issues that you are worried about should have been addressed in initial development or Alpha releases. You should continue to be aware and vigilant. But no need to worry that a Beta will be completely unworkable. Good luck!

You have to unlock the bootloader in .11 first. Once you do that, then you can do the open beta upgrade. I'm on a T-Mobile 6T and I'm currently on beta 9 with root.

I'd hold off a bit. From previous experience the first release or two are unstable (crashes, excessive battery drain, etc) and functionality is poor. Unless you got some free time on your hands and just want to quick check it out, but I'd def anticipate downgrading back to 10. Once the initially one is out they churn out more stable releases fairly quickly.

this is not a beta this is developer preview 1, these are basically alpha builds beta will be next. I installed it yesterday and it is unusable for the most part
