QuantumOS for the Pixel - Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,
Quantum Tech LLC is testing a new OS (based on Android) for the Pixel and Pixel XL called QuantumOS. They are willing to share a preview of their upcoming OS as a "soak test" (beta test) for a handful of users who have a Pixel or Pixel XL. To signup for the soak test use the link below:
QuantumOS 1.0 Soak Test for Pixel/Pixel XL Signup
NOTE: I will not be responding to any PMs related to this.
Regards,
Shawn
Software Engineer on the QuantumOS Team

How does this work? Do you still have to root and get custom recovery? Is there a history of this os?

Not finding anything about this through some searching, that makes me nervous/skeptical.

As this is our first release of our OS, there is not much on the internet about us. We will be launching a website shortly. We also are partnering with many tech sites for news coverage when the OS is ready for a full public release. Sorry if I got you nervous or skeptical.

Thank you
The survey is now closed. We thank you for your amazing support. The first beta will be sent out to you guys in coming weeks.

Anything moving with this?

What's the status?

any update?

Doubt there is anything coming of this. We don't even have a stable recovery at this point.

The dude claimed they had their own recovery prior to twrp released. I wonder whats up with this.

I'm probably wrong but I thought it wasn't actually usable yet as far as flashing roms? I thought if it was working the ROMs would be coming in by now. Wonder why it's alpha then

twrp is NOT stable at all, especially for backups. and FYI the OP has a history of claiming to make roms that never appear. i remember him from the moto devices.

Just coming to Android with the Pixel after using iPhone since the beginning, I seem to have missed a whole bunch of things. What is up with the lack of any dev going on for this device? Has Google made security changes or something, waiting for dev seems to be like waiting for an iOS jailbreak.

Weta is up and running well. Alpha because there are def still things that need work such as backups and to lose the disclaimer about possibly losing all data.

Works damn well for me to flash kernel and rom. For me the backup isn't needed but works. It's a Google device like nexus before so I'm okay with experimental stages. I don't remember him from anything else but was guessing it was bogus just based on the time and weird intro. Don't really care. In a bit more developers will have the device, the system will get sorted so TWRP is flawless and we will be up and running. My phone is much faster than my wife's s7 so I'm content for now.

well despite it being one of the best devices on the market there are probably many reasons the dev scene is kinda quiet on the pixel.
1. its a super expensive device compared to others in its range. personally i finance mine from verizon and use on at&t go.
2. were waiting on a stable twrp which is being worked on.
3. most pixels and xl are on backorder until jan 2017.
4. it could have something to do with the A and B boot slots.
the device runs great stock rooted. hopefully more aosp based roms will come in time.

**Rumour** One Plus to soon abandon CM and ColorOS **Rumour**

well guys i just came up with this news and i have heard this before but i never saw any news today sombody on fb shared this so i am really dissapointed by OnePlus :/ i was thinking to get one plus on and i m trying my best to get an invite but i guess now i have to wait for a official word on it
What do you think guys should they make their own ROM or use CM use the poll .!!
Source: http://www.tech-feed.com/technology/oneplus-abandon-cyanogenmod-coloros/
We still need the confirmation to this rumor, but if it's true, there will always be a CM rom for the OPO! All we need to do is root it and flash it.
A Tech blogging site, that doesn't quote any form of source in their article, or postulate why it might be in a company's best interest to skin their own version of Android, OR do anything other than say, they are working on their own version.... That's high school level rumor mongering. Sure it's possible.... but hey, guess what, it's already a CM compatible phone, who cares if they skin their own version of Android?
theres so many stupid fake rumors coming out of the rumor mill lately. they couldnt abandon cm if they tried. thats what happens when you sign paperwork and cm run the fastboot software and recovery.
there will be 2 years of support from CM for this device, so do not worry ^_^

Thank you guys well the site does provide a valid Source and this news came a week ago when people in china said that they don't like CM UI so OPPO started making its own UI
Its not 100% and not 100% true as the blog says
Even if they make their own there will still be cm officially. Its likely they may just want their own skin but only provide it as an optional alternative.
This is assuming the unlikely rumor actually turns out true. But assumptions on a rumor aren't reliable so take it lightly.

Doesn't bother me. I install Apex launcher and then I like ColorOS. I even install Apex CM11, i hate the stock Android and Trebuchet launchers. ColorOS has some nice features that I miss when running CM.
So long as CM doesn't stop supporting it. It's all good lol

They already released an AOSP rom available to flash via the Development category on the oneplus forum. The only thing it's missing is the gapps.
Don't believe it!
Oneplus i very highly doubt would switch ROMs so suddenly. And Color OS is getting pretty popular for phones in China it seems, do not lose hope friend!

There's a reason they made the aosp ROM and not someone else, there aokp and paranoidandroid but there's no aosp group. The only way there would be an official aosp ROM would be if oneplus made it. It's based off cm source, oneplus has done no software development for the device. And the fact that gapps is separate actually says a lot. You can't just put on aosp and sell the device. The phone would not be Google certified. It took weeks for them to fall in line with Google's new strict standards.
Shipping ask that cyanogen inc. Works very closely with them. I think Steve klondik technically works for both companies. There's is no way they would ever end there partnership. The whole company is based around it. It's yet another fake rumor like the OnePlus tab and OnePlus two and onewatch. Best just to ignore it.

The OP twisted topic name of the thread.
OnePlus is dropping ColorOS for their own ROM but international will still have CyanogenMod as the default ROM.

Seriously, garbage rumors like this get floated all the time to force companies to make statements denying or clarifying the rumor. OnePlus is better off ignoring it.

CM14 Nexus 6p

You found nothing because there's nothing, they just announced they'll release it but google has still to release most of the blobs,so you'll have to wait for cm14
That's weird because there's cm14 builds up for oneplus one and nexus 5. Guess they still have a lot more dev support than we do, though.

Really? Are they full cm14 or just a stock-ish android nougat port for these devices?
Pretty sure cm14 is stock nougat at this point.
My only thoughts on this are why has Nexus 6P not had the cm-14.0 branch pushed yet? You'd think with it being a nexus device it would have been one of the first to get at least the device sources updated.
There are several different devices with this branch and work done so far, but nothing yet for the 6P.
Just find it odd, regardless of actual progress on CM14 itself.

It just seems like everyone wants things now now now. Factory images barely got put up yesterday? As far as development goes, I'm one of those old school flashers, there's only so much you can do with the same software. Pretty much all of the Roms are the same, with the same tweaks just under a different name. Am I the only that has thought this? ?
I feel like there's a lot of development for this device but it just all seems like the same. Then again, maybe everyone just wants more "development" to satisfy our flasholic syndrome???

You don't have to be so pompous.
Really though, give it a few weeks at least. The last thing you want is a super early new major CM version. (or really any new Android version jump). Even as a old time Flashaholic, going from a major version (4.X-5.0) (5.X-6.0) is always a bit jaring in the lack of polish and stability as not only does the OS need some patching to fix bugs that inevitably exist, but the Apps aren't ready yet.
I have to admit, that 6.0.1 has been pretty darn smooth and unlike the 5.X days, 5.1 was ok when it was polished but the early 5.0 days was downright retarded (though pretty vs KK before it). And KK itself was great around 4.4.2-4.4.4 as well.
But on top of that, I love CM from the old days, but man first version were always a crapshoot and while they might perform ok for a bit, usually on all my devices after a few weeks of use would show some major signs of underlying bugs that took months to patch out, if ever. :/
As far as stability goes, I am sticking with Pure Nexus's 8/21 build and ElementalX's 1.22 Kernel build until 7.1 drops or something because this is the most stable my 6P has been in months. Closest it's been to running like the HTC10 which has been polished to a pretty dang good shine from HTC since its release as well. Prior to this, random slowdowns or the occasional random reboot were getting a bit annoying, and I don't see Android 7.0.0 being anywhere near stable enough to DD right now...

The conclusion is it can't find the sim card (China Unicom), and I can't downgrade to cm13, and can't flash to cm13, it always stuck in the boot.
Now I am using the official Naught from Google.

Just in 7.1.1 coming to nexus 6 in January

They had a bug to fix finally...
Lenovorola mentioned this last month. Is your source different from mine (Lenovorola Germany)?
Might be AP's post - http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...7-1-1-update-will-come-nexus-6-early-january/ - they sent in a query to Google, and Google's response indicated "early Jan"
Was there ever any doubt? The Nexus 6 will get every Nougat release (7.1.1, 7.1.2, etc.). It will not, however, receive Android O.
@Candy[MAN]: It will be at Google's discretion as to whether we get an official upgrade to Android 8.0 or not. But even if we don't, ROM developers will be building from source for years to come. One way or another, this device will have Android 8.0 on it.
Never underestimate power of Nexus devices.
too little, too late. personally the only reason i bought a Nexus was to have the latest android version ALWAYS. and google has disappointed.
though im glad for drivers being available to public so we can have an arsenal of stable and functional ROMs being developed by other devs.
currently running PureNexus 7.1.1 with the middle finger help up facing google.

Tsk tsk. There's no room for accusations like that here. The reason I got a Nexus 6 was so that I'd have the latest stock OS without having to flash some buggy (yes, they are buggy and there are always room for screwups) ROM and worry about having an operable phone. Google has done a fine job of providing a stable experience on great hardware at low cost. This phone has been out for 2 years now. Why they can't get these Nougat updates out on time is beyond me. "Well it's the only 32-bit Nexus left" is not an excuse. Android has been built on 32-bit up until the past year or two, and 64-bit phones only became "good" in the past year. Whether the fault lies with Lenovo/Motorola or with Google, the fact is that we just don't have 7.1.x yet, and that's just an embarrassment on whoever's fault that is.

Well considering that what ever Google pushes can be made by syncing aosp, build it, flash it and gapps and you have the same thing Google pushed out.
The n6 is eol pretty much. So it is not a surprise that it is last.
Also yes 64 bit just started being the norm. Which means they have been working on it for all east 2 years. People seem to forget that when a device is released the oem already started work on the next device a few months prior. So in sense the brand new device you just got is already outdated as far as the maker is concerned.
Also considering that the stock update issued from Google has bricked many devices that did get it. Then by all means be in a rush.
I have been on a bugless 7.1.1 room now for weeks if not months.

Some weeks ago when i flashed PN 7.1.1, as an example, i was stuck outside of home in need of creating an hotspot and not being able to do it kicking out an error (lucky me carrying more than one phone at a time). I wouldn't call that bugless, also the battery life is worse and it tends to lag more with time.
Custom roms are nice as they are, without proper blobs there will always be "bugs", "drains", "hacks" to make it work. It's funny flashing different roms to pass time but in the end i always return to stock with a custom kernel because everything works as it should.
Google spits out bull**** every time an update is released, i would prefer them saying they would stop supporting the device than spiting out lies as they always do lately. Good guy croogle is no more.

Can't say anything about pure nexus as I have never used it nor will I.
Of course there will always be hacks but let me let you in on something. Considering that the 7.1.1 update was made for devices with dual partitions, for them to get it to work on the older devices, n6, n6p and 5x there will be hacks to make it work directly from Google. Most likely what caused a bunch of bricks from Google ota. There was a commit just yesterday that was supposed to fix the issue a second time.
No OS is perfect. Not custom or official. They all have bugs.

But that's the thing, it's not technically 7.1.1 without the proper driver blobs from Lenovo/Motorola, and obviously we don't have those without the official 7.1.1 update. You may have the 7.1.1 OS, but until the official 7.1.1 is released for Nexus 6, the hardware won't be any more stable than the latest official nougat we have.

Assuming that there are significant changes in the drivers and vendor blobs from 7.0 official. Didn't seem to be from 7.0 to 7.1.
Funny we saw this same kind of bullkaka (lies) that google would keep updating our Nexus too. And we got nougat, like 3 or 4 months after they promised it. I ran the beta for a long time. Now we thought it would be 7.1.1 like the other Nexus devices that came out after ours. And not even a January patch yet. It does not take a genius to figure out that they are trying to get us to upgrade the device. I refuse to give in. I will just keep the November build and use a custom kernel and doubt I am missing any swell things.

I just vented in the 9 forum as well, but F google here too. They suckered me in with the nexus 5 about 4 years ago as bait, great inexpensive phone I enjoyed using. It also opened up my world to sites like XDA and customizing android. I was hooked right away. So I even upgraded to the 6 and 9 when they came out expecting the same kind of experience . But now looking back I have had lie to myself about just how good the experience has been.
The 5x and 6p gave me no reason to upgrade, I was excited for the pixel line but Google seems to be taking steps to lock it all down from now on.... sooo, I'm out !

Mix developer support abandonment

I've got this feeling, after the sad goodbye of dear @pappschumpfl, that development support for this beloved and wonderful device is weaning and slowly but surely disappearing. Checking the development section for other xiaomi devices like redmi note 4 or mi6 you can see a lot more movement, discussion and activity.
Anyway, just makes me sad this feeling and I believe it is not only a feeling... With the coming of Mix 2 it will probably get worse. Or maybe with the Mix getting cheaper it will change for the better in the future? What are your thoughts on this people?
There is of course AICP and those guys work is fantastic! But they are mostly alone right now...
Im pretty sure he meant that its his final Nougat rom, as everyone building roms for any device has now moved on to Oreo, so Im guessing we will see more updates once the Oreo roms have been figured out...
As you can see there are a fair amount of roms for the Mi Mix.......

Well none of them are maintaining their builds except for BitO, who's given us Multirom and a fantastic Kernel :victory:
As for Papps he got a Note 8 and I have no idea if he's gona be building an Oreo rom for lithium. He doesn't have to of course.

I think this was inevitable with the Mix being a niche device.
I hope we get Oreo eventually, but at least we have some ROMs that are stable.
Final RR is pretty damn good.
Mix was a high end device, high priced device and now it's an outdated device... basically a standard life for a chinese phone on XDA like this one... exemple is based on large sell device, redmi/mi5/mi6... not the same as ur Mix...
Sadly, i think like u... device will go to trash silently...
Also, around the forums we've seen various devs state that we'll see O
IMO, it would be OK just seeing security patches for what we already have.
I have a Nexus 6P and whilst us enthusiasts want the latest and greatest, honestly there isn't anything worth getting too excited about.
I think it will be maintained for awhile, the sort of people who bought the mix are the ones who like to mess and build ROMs (hoping), only time will tell. Let's face it there is nothing worth buying over this at the moment.
but of course, you can also learn how to build roms, etc.

This is a very good point.
For beginners, here is a step by step for LOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lithium/build
Its not out dated and won't be for a while yet - it is odd and requires an interest in making roms. I am sure there will be development for the roms, people are so down these days.

Oreo will come in time - people really need to learn to be more patient. It has some very good nougat roms already.
Every 15 days aprox you have a new updated build here https://download.lineageos.org/lithium
Lineage OS oficial is running for lithium.
I don't understand the tittle of the post.
Worst comes to worst Lineage will be released for our Mixs. If it comes down to it, I'll start developing a Rom.

Doesn't work using the cm-15 branch so far... Or I couldn't make it work anyway. Problem is in Mix sources though, not LOS source...
I think Paps might come back. I went to Note 8 but will be back on a new Mix tomorrow. Missing that beautiful 3 side non existent bezel.
I wrote this OP over two months ago and in this time, luckily Papps hasn't abandoned us completely (thanks!) and BitObsession has been providing awesome work and support, several builds, Multitom and a fantastic kernel (thanks!!!). Also AOSiP came and is being maintained I think, so good enough maybe. The guys behind AICP keep also their work (thanks too!).
What seems still so far away that it seems to me we might not see it is Oreo... Anybody with info on wether the good guys at Lineage are working on Oreo for Lithium??
It's of course ok if dev support stays as it is, and developers do what they want with their devices, but it would surely be nice to see our Mix being upgraded to the latest Android as the flagship it is.
Thanks everybody.

Android 10 coming out soon....

Hey y'all,
With Android 10 coming out soon to the 6T I have a couple questions. I have a OP6T from tmobile and I have "converted" it to the international rom. I'm curious if I will be able to dirty flash like I have with all the other oxygen updates. I have been using the local upgrade option after downloading the firmware and putting in my root folder. I know we technically won't know until someone tries this but was curious to see if anyone had any thought. Do you think this will be possible? I am rooted currently and usually will just remove some of my modules and then use the local update option. I haven't had any issues yet and hoping this will be a similar experience!

Not sure, but when updating to a major upgrade of Android (i.e. 9 to 10) I would want a clean install, and you will be going from stable to Open Beta.

I second this. A clean flash is your best bet. Back up your SD card to your pc or a thumb drive. I would do a full wipe and clean flash.
Meh?

this does not apply to OOS
I'm beginning to think OnePlus was full of **** on releasing OpenBeta 10 for the 6T by the end of the month. They're more interested in their newer phones, and we're getting left behind.

Actually, if you read his post, he is talking about the OpenBeta, and he says sometime in the next couple weeks, so it is delayed. That's what I figured, lied to us as usual. So much for by the end of the month!

What features, on Android 10, are you interested in? Personally, I don't see any real "difference" between how 9 works versus 10.
I don't have 10 on my 6T, but it did become available on my backup phone (essential PH-1). To tell you the truth, other than any security patches, I couldn't really see the difference.

I'm looking forward to the new gestures, dark themes and I'm sure a more optimized version of Android/OOS.

What's 7 Pro from your signature "last +1"
The sad truth is, the ONLY ones who deliver on a constant annual basis are Apple-IOS and Google-Pixel (Nexus), with a small exception of Essential (basically, an outlier with their 1 device). Everyone else, we're stuck in limbo. Even these direct releases (IMHO, IOS 13-13.1.-13.1.1. was a blunder, and a buggy one, and it's still a bit buggy) can be a mess.
Basically, it's a toss-up. Get more RAM, save some cash, lose the updates, lose the more rigid deadlines. Get the updates, lose some cash (Pixel), lose some compatibility and freedom (looking at you, Apple Iphone 11)...
Iphone 11 or Pixel 4 - here I come

Looks like a couple weeks for the beta
xRogerxC said:
Don't tell me to calm down, I'm not your kid. My point is don't tell people something, and give a date if they can't deliver. It has nothing to do with extra testing, they are too busy with the 7T and 7T Pro launchers to make good on their commitments, and again they should make sure they can deliver when they tell their CUSTOMERS that they are going to do something. Don't give a date, and then delay. This will be my last OnePlus device.

Hi, how are you?.
What I'm going to say now could leave me out of the closed betas program, so I will try to say as much as I can without saying much, OB1 based on Android 10 was delayed because a problem was detected that caused random bootloops and some bricks in the closed beta number 4, the problem It's under investigation (At the moment there doesn't seem to be a clear way to reproduce it, as you will know this makes it more difficult to solve it). The developer team and the people in charge of the testers team decided to delay the launch, they say it's better to wait one, two, three weeks or the time it takes to solve the problem, instead of launching the OTA and hours later "endure" the storm that may arise in the forums, obviously that angers some users and I completely understand it when I see it from their perspective, but the users should think about this, there are currently two possible situations:
- OTA with bootloops and bricks = angry people asking why OnePlus doesn't test the things before release the update.
- Delayed OTA = Angry people asking why OnePlus takes so long.
OnePlus loses in both situations..
I'm not here to defend OnePlus, just like you some things also bother me, but we must be realistic and see things from another perspective, I tried to be as clear as possible, and I hope it has been useful!.
Have a good day :fingers-crossed:.
Looks like @feezler got his answers
