Google just released the first Android O Developer Preview! For real, though, it’s here!
Android O will introduce new features by way of background limits on apps (think battery life boost), notification channels (more control over notifications), picture-in-picture, adaptive icons, autofill in apps, and more. Full details on what’s new can be found here.
The new version of Android will run through four preview versions, with preview 2 hitting in mid-May, preview 3 in mid-June, preview 4 likely some time in August, and then the final release in Q3. It’s a similar schedule to last year’s Android N preview program.
The first Android O Developer Preview is available for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Nexus Player.
You can download the Preview 1 images right here. Instructions on how to flash a factory image can be found here. Android O is now a part of the Android Beta at this time because it’s a hella-early developer build that probably isn’t all that stable.

Ive been running it since it was released and havent had any problems so i would say it stable
Flashed my pixel c, very stable until my touch screen went bad...
Coincidence , absolutely not, flashed 7.1.1 and still had the touchscreen issues. Screen goes black every time i touch the screen with my palm or more than 4 fingers on the screen at the same time.
Google has sent me a replacement device Will test again with the new device.
I'm running O-preview since release, for me it is NOT 100% stable, but is doing a decent job.
What does this mean? -> ~ 1-2 reboots a day and spotted a graphics glitch (only 1x).
Not much trouble here, but I use mine as a test device so really haven't put it through its paces. If I were actually using it to do work/play I'd stay on Nougat unless there were a specific O-feature I required.
Desperate for root access, need to get apps tested with O+root, and would prefer not to buy yet another device (5x/6p) to do it.
i wonder if chainfires O dev test superSU includes the pixel C as included devices?
is there now an hdmi out support added via usb-c?
Anyone with a mouse tried to use the built-in file manager? On all 7.x versions the mouse cursor only selects (as if long clicked) files & folders, it cannot open them. Quite annoying, believe it or not...

thanks for the info.
one thing i've noticed is it seems that my O preview is rebooting at times. i can tell because when i pick it up i see the android beta program notice that seems to tacked onto the O boot. i've read that google has said it isn't in the beta program yet so not sure why i get that notice. the reboot issue is the first time for me that the device has exhibited spontaneous reboots but i guess it could be any number of things from apps that are not tuned to O yet to something in O preview itself. otherwise , it is running well with the apps i've used to this point running well.
edit: i have noticed since i posted the above message that trying to uninstall apps that had been installed while using android N causes a lock-up and never finish properly however the apps are no longer listed as being installed. i'm curious if anyone else experiences this behavior.

Well, I still have 10 more months in warranty, so no root access for me.
I've been using it for a few hours now and it seems snappier than before. No laggish animations so far.
The audio feels louder but I haven't test it yet thoroughly...
Battery life seems about the same...

So far I am glad I did it. It gives a nice fresh look. Perhaps a tad smoother, but that might just be me wanting it to be better. Too early to tell about battery, but at least it hasn't been worse. Am not a heavy game or social media user.
The change to the notification screen is great for the most part. I love that the first five tiles/toggle buttons appear right away on the first down swipe. I can rearrange so that my most often used ones show up quickly.
One annoying change however is, the Mobile data toggle button now takes two touches to perform the same thing previously. The first touch now brings up an abbreviated data usage screen, and one needs to press the on/off switch in addition. Overall, if I remember correctly, the touch count could be the same, because now that button can appear on the first down swipe. Still it is annoying. It feels like one hand gives, and the other takes away
Crossing my fingers that all continues to go well...

Yeah but it exists some mod when the phone is rooted so it's pretty easy to fix. Anyway, I let you post a little review after your own test ! I will put it in the first post
Thanks !!
Unfortunately when I try to create ftf file in flashtool basing on firmware downloaded by XperiFirm i get quite ambiguous error (see attachment) and I don't really know what to do about it. I already tried to download this firmware twice. Is it only me? Few days ago I created .376 ftf without an issue.
Wondering what's new on this one...
Wow, and for my country the latest version is still stuck on MM 305, didn't even get 5.11, and now there's already a second N version released. Curses...
The increment in version number is unusually small, I wonder what has changed and how critical the bug is. Will it replace 376?
downloaded and flashed, just rebooted to setup interface.
Now i just have to look up how to root it, and install twrp since i wiped the whole phone (came from xpower 5.0)
Edit: had some problems with the keyboard when entering my google account, also had to skip the fingerprint setup since it didn't register my fingerprints.
Used the customized NOBA and i have a european E5823 so the fingerprint reader should work.
2nd Edit: fingerprint reader worked when i did the setup thru the settings menu

I will upload one shortly. For reference, you are probably on an old version of FlashTool. For some reason the website doesn't always have the most up to date version, and you have to patch it by downloading and replacing the updated x10flasher.jar file separately.

Noob question
Hi guys - noob question. Can I install an update not for my country or carrier on a non-rooted device? I am having severe Bluetooth issues with 376 and want to try 378 to see if it fixes it. However 378 is only available in Northern Europe at present and I'm on O2 UK.
Got the dreaded 'fingerprint hardware not available' back. Can that be fixed without root?
Does anyone have any clue when Android 7 will land on the Zoom? It's kinda silly that it didn't launch with it to begin with. But the year older Zenfone's have since received Android 7 and we're still waiting ..
Already launched. Updated today.
1.2Gb download
Oh wow, look at that timing
I hope it doesn't cause the white line issue when I install it!

I just downloaded the update, I'm gonna leave it charging and updating. :fingers-crossed:
Just updated mine.
Main noticable things are:
- the new notification interface,
- the quick links page allows more icons and has better design, and
- Portrait mode on the camera.
What else called your attention?
Did a factory reset after install. Thought Asus cleaned up pretty well on Nougat for Zenfone 3 but the 3 Zoom's Nougat strips away almost everything. Apps could only get clearer if they replace Memo with Google Keep and not preload Duo.
I think there is more wall papers in wall paper slideshow.
Nougat ZenUI is much better than Marshmallow was.
Greatly appreciate the update. Yes, the UI is still terrible color and design, but Nougat makes this feel tolerable. Especially the ability to remove sooooo much bloat. Glad that I could finally get Google Phone dialer installed and working without the ASUS Call screen. Now if I could set long hold back button to kill I'd be quite happy.
Can you guys get me ota link ?
Use Android Terminal to Run this command
cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml
Then upload tree.xml from your sdcard
Thanks

Interesting I'm still unable to install Google Phone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer), stuck with ASUS's app.
Another one that bothers me is the Contacts app. I'm used to Google's stock and I find ASUS option way worse.
Ideas anyone?
I'm using google phone app on mine.
Download the Contacts APK from APKMirror.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts/
My camera app stopped working after the update :\ Even tried resetting it. Other camera apps work fine. Asus support says to reset my phone and otherwise send it in (for a software issue?!). I guess I'll be resetting, but this is the second time support told me to send in the device for a software issue. Can't say I'm impressed.

Hey fellow Essential Phone owners.
As far as I know the android P beta is available for the Google Pixel devices. So the beta should be treble supported, right?
Is there a chance the beta is flashable on our beloved Essential Phone? I'd love to try out the Android P beta. (I know it'll probably be unstable)
Thanks!

Awesome! If there are beta testers needed let me know. ?
Keeping my eye on this!!! This is very exciting!!!
Awesome!! Sounds promising
it works but. it have some problems, the wifi doesnt work, and when you change the size of the screen the system generates a black line when the screen is bigger than 460 p.

i follow the instructions from the page of essential, but i used minimal adb fastboot insted of the Android SDK Platform-Tools.
Just a couple problems with my install.
I'm loving it just a couple minor things with mine. The biggest is it say Chameleon instead of Sprint, and had some issues with network service. I messed with the SIM card a bit and now works fine, still says Chameleon. Second the brightness level, if the phones shuts down so does the brightness, and just push it up again and it works. Have had it for about 2 weeks.:good:

If you download the OTA version from the Essential developer site and use a current version OF ADB to sideload it to the phone you will not have to unlock the bootloader or lose any data. The first reboot takes time, be patient.

No close all recents button
Just swipe up one by one and they are gone. I've been using the first Beta for a while and now this one and the occasional 'API compatibility detection' message that goes away in seconds seems to be the only abnormal thing if any, pretty snappy and stable enough to be used as daily. IMHO all of the changes are kinda of cool adding a clean and easy interface. Change is inevitable the only constant is death and taxes !
I'm actually glad there's some big changes. Feels like a new era when bits and pieces from the lollipop age is getting replaced. Yes it might be hard to adjust in the beginning but it's great to see that there's new stuff going on. I'm sure custom roms will bring back stuff we are accustomed to but the direction it's heading I like. Feels like something new. Will flash DP2 as soon as I get back home from work. Can't wait haha.

Are these two features available in current beta.
I am not able to find them in my phone.

Yep. TJW had that one handled a couple of days after it was out. Doesn't look like the case this time however. Google apparently doesn't like us rooting evidently!
Anyone know if OnePlus gestures works okay on Q?

It's working for me, but it appears to need more forceful gestures than previously. But this might be because I fitted a new screen protector yesterday!
In reading the twitter feed by Magisk dev John Wu, it may come sooner than expected, his last couple of tweets made it seem like he had narrowed the problem down a bit. Also, another user hinted at a possibility of getting it working via an alternate method, but I haven't seen anything else.
But since this thread is about Q, let me say this:
1) I already had dark mode on in Pie.
2) I had root via Magisk, but completely uninstalled it (without locking the bootloader though), so no FDR needed.
3) First attempt at taking the OTA left me in a weird partial (stock) recovery where it said that the OTA could not be applied (I'm paraphrasing), and had the options to try again or FDR. I hit try again and it rebooted back to the same place - I hit try again a second time and et voila! it rebooted to Android and I have Q now on my Taimen. No idea why that happened, and I haven't performed any checks to see if it maybe flipped to the other slot or something (which I highly doubt, as it was extremely quick from when I pressed the try again to when it rebooted and started booting Android Q).
So, first thoughts:
The Google Feed now has a bit of translucency - pretty cool!
Settings is now dark mode
Notifications are also dark, double yay!
Night light is working better - the blue accents in settings, etc now also dull, the way they should.
Redesigned Files app - looks nice! Those items at the top are selectable, individually or in groups.
I've started an album at my GPHotos with screenshots I've taken thus far. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdbTnXZNYpQ3xBFS6
It's 1:30 AM now. I'm off to bed.
I feel the fingerprint sensor works very fast and very accurate. Can anyone please conform.

I can confirm this. I'm using Pixel 2 XL and Pixel XL and after update to Q beta I can feel fingerprint sensor works faster on both devices. even I can feel so much faster response on Pixel XL
Can anyone confirm that edit button on screenshot notification is broken for you too ?
