Android O Public Beta opinions

Today I installed the Public beta version of Android O, it has a really nice redesign and some cool new functions, but, how is the performance?, I would like to share with you my experience, and hope you guys can share your experience here too.
Im going to be direct:
*Notification sounds are delayed
*Ambient display just work tapping two times
*Recent app lags
*Clean data option (on storage) is gone.
*Slowdown in some apps (guess just have to wait for an update)
I did a "wipe cache partition" after install the update, I didnt clear the data from storage cuz the option is gone.
New info: 05/24 (or 24/05 from spanish people)
For those that are having a really bad experience with Android O this could help:
I dont have a USB-C to Standar USB wire and I really wanted to make my phone works better, flash a stock rom is not an option for me today, so I did this (do a proper back up and do it under your own risk)
*Back up everything.
*Unroll from Beta
*Downgrade to Android N (that implies lost everything)
*Config the device as a new one BUT dont log in your google account, just connect wi-fi (that implies LOSE APP CONFIGURATIONS and Wi-Fi passwords)
*Regist your device to Android O again
*Wait for the update and install it.
*Configure the whole phone, apps and everything (remember, if you config it as a new device before going back to Android N the device will not download your previos configuration as settings config, apps config, wi-fi saved passwords etc etc.
I did it and Im still configuring everything but the phone works better that the first time I installed Android O through OTA without wipe the phone.
I will keep testing the phone in this way and I will let you guys know if it really helps in long terms (I mean, if next week the phone still works fine means that all the effort worth it)
PD: Just one thing, if Ambient display doesnt work for you, just, turn the option off, then On, and then power off the phone (power off, not a restart), turn it on and thats all.
NOTES: Going back to Android N could cause some stuff stop working like, rotation, gps, etc.
If you do a factory reset in Android O that could cause a bootloop, be careful and just try it IF you can flash the phone (remember the USB-C to Standar USB wire, my phone didt came with one...)
IMPORTANT:
If you went back to Nougat and found that stuff like GPS, rotation etc was not working, here you have a solution that allow you back to Nougat without those problems.
In Android O:
*Unroll from Beta program.
*Install the downgrade package
*Start your phone loging in your account but disable everything and dont restore your configuration. (Just use your account for go to the main screen)
*When finally you get the control of the phone DO A FACTORY RESET (from settings)
*This time configure averything as you want (restoring apps and configurations) and thaths all!, try to test everything and this time all will be working as always!
No root, no flash, just doing that

I installed by flashing the factory image. Device feels a lot sluggish when opening app drawer, recents, App info. I read various comments on Google+ that their device feels snappier and fast than Nougat but it took them a while before device gets settled in. So, I will give it a few good hours before judging on performance.

same feeling but still usable

Runs amazing on my device

takes ages to take a shot with hdr on

Things I've found not working:
1. Lock screen app resets after phone is turned off or restarted, and has to be selected manually again
2. Force activities to be resizeable in developer options not working
3. UI lags more often
4. Picture in picture more not working ( at least for me)
*I'll add more when I find

Is Gmail working? That was the thing that was constantly messed up for me. Everything else was fine

Yes it is working fine.

The reason for the UI slowdown I think it is because recents preview images are bigger (more resolution).

It's quite good for a beta.
- Some UI lags
- Sometimes apps load a little slower than 7.1.2
- Picture in picture doesn't work for now (Only for youtube red users right now)

I've noticed the battery charges faster when the phone is being used compared to 7.1.2

For picture in picture mode
Use the hidden navigation bar tuner in SystemUI Tuner. Add a navigation button and select the button type to be “keycode” and look for keycode #171. Once you’ve done that, your navigation bar will now have a button that, when pressed inside of a supported app, will toggle PiP.

bootloop !
hi my device stuck in bootloop after update on google Logo
but recovery mode is working , i wiped cache and data and now stuck in android boot animation and restart
my device is dead?

Some differences I've noticed in comparison to the 1st dev preview:
* Notification tray redesigned again, I do not like the lightgrey tone, but the layout of the elements does feel abit more mature compared to dp1.
* It seems more stable, less lags - altough animations seem to lower in framerates at some moments, triggering the Recently Used function delivers low framerates always (Project Butter failing?)
* In the 1st dp, the Sense 7 keyboard I use would crash, works again in dp2
* Images are misaligned in the Telegram app, I do not notice this in other apps, but everything was alright in the dp1 regarding this.
* Not sure but I feel like the Settings app has some additional icons, still not complete though. Some titles in the Settings.apk now also inherit the accent color.
* The LTE icon is now displayed in full, the wlan icon is shown with disabled status in the statusbar if its disabled. The muted sign has returned.
* Notification icons in the statusbar seem to have a wrong top-padding, so they misalign ~1-2px
The PiP mode should come available once the YouTube app gets updated with the feature, it's just that the api was made available with this release.

Try reflashing the factory image with fastboot. If the device was dead, it would bootloop in the recovery aswell.

20/04 is the beta image, give it a try. So far it's pretty good and has stabilised on my phone after an initial few hours of sluggish behaviour.

Not like that.Haha.Android 8 and above is confirmed only for 16 series now. And new 16s will come with flyme 8.So Only new model phones will get android updates not older ones.

Hello Adam,
I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

After installation of google services via google installer,you need to allow all permissions of google apps names starting google in settings.Only open playstore after it.Uninstall services and do install again.Hope you got what i said.

Hi Adam!
I'm confused a bit about which ROM should I use. Currently I'm on stock 7.0.1.0G.
If I'm willing to upgrade which one should I use. There are quite a few options such as: 7.2.0.0A, 7.8.7.16G, 7.8.7.24A or even 7.8.8.9A.
I can't find a out whats are the differences. For sure all of them are Nougat based. but then...
Could you please guide me which one to pick?!
Thanks!

I need the original build.prop of the rom Flyme 7.2.0.0A Stable Final. I made many changes without a proper backup. If anyone can send me a copy, thank you.

Choose latest 7.2.0.0 A if your concern is about getting more stability and security patches.
Choose latest beta A if you want slight more battery backup.

I have some issue with 7.2.0.0A. I already installed it. But when I try to login into flyme account I get a message that I'm still loged in with another account and I have to logout with that first. I bought my Phone 2nd hand and the seller told me he removed this phone from his account.
The interesting thing that if I use the 7.0.1.0G than I can login with my own without any problem.
I'm still negotiating with the seller how could és solve this.
Do you have any idea how could I overcome this issue if I can't manage IT with the seller?
Thanks!

Login on flyme account using computer and change the password there. Once password changed you have to login everywhere again since all active sessions gone out.

Is there any way to install a altered ROM on this phone? If I add or delete anything from the official ROM then it states it is corrupt.
Or is it possible to install TWRP on it? I think with that maybe its possible to install some tweaked ROM.
Thanks

apparently there is no custom rom, twrp, xposed. what I recommend is to enable root and delete apps and system folders. I did and I gained more ram and less use of the processor in the background. and longer battery life

Just to help out a bit, if possible:
Camera seems to be fine on my P2XL - though I have not enabled any HDR+ or raw settings.
Now Playing is working for me, grabbed the theme song off the show I was watching last night.
Markup "edit" button can be fixed. Clear data in markup, open photos and use markup from within that; you should get a permission request. (simply going into permissions on the markup app and enabling any/all may work as well, but is untested)
In dialer/recents, tap the number, and choose block from the drop down menu. I am in the beta for the Google phone app - so that may be part of it. Dirty flash may also affect this.
Clarification only: Photos is broken in dark-mode, but only in that all options dialogs/drop-downs are white text on white background. Other than that, you can still browse photos/albums, etc.
For clarity: My device is the Pixel 2 XL and Q was installed via factory image with full wipe (no dirty flash), and I did not restore from any backups.

Camera is fine for me on 2xl. Nothing different. HDR+ works as normal so does raw DNG.

Now playing is working for me - just not displaying on the lock screen. I just got home form a birthday party, and every song the DJ played is in my NP history;
In addition to the charging time estimate, the estimate in the pull down notification area is completely off base compared to the estimated time left in Settings --> Battery;
My built in screen recording works for me, and has worked since I enabled it from the Features flags in Developer Options;
No issues with Google Photos with dark Mode. Caveat: I had dark mode enabled in Pie, and took the Q DP1 OTA over that Pie install;
I found that there is a microphone icon at the top left when selecting Panorama photo mode that I never saw before (was that introduced with Q DP1, or just a very recent Google Camera update?)
I've not noticed a discernible slowdown in the Camera app (and I always use HDR+ / Night sight for my photos), but I have noticed that when I try to view a picture / video, particularly like an MMS in Messages / Google Voice, the phone is extremely slow and laggy.

For years used htc,this is new for me.

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues. Best advice I can give is to familiarize yourself with fastboot commands, since you'll need to install twrp again, and read, read, and read again all of the information in the Q threads so you know what to do and expect :good:

Huge thanks mate,and there is problem for me,as keybord not working on laptop...

You'll probably need access to a different computer - or else need to buy a cheap USB KB to use, because use of a separate computer / laptop is pretty much essential to get this working (root + Q, not to mention installing TWRP by using fastboot boot to boot TWRP, then installing TWRP from inside the booted TWRP).

I've been on Android Q beta for almost 3 weeks now. It is used as a daily driver since I have only the one Pixel 2. I flashed the new image myself using TWRP rather than opt into the beta with Google. Other than a problem with now playing not always showing up on the screen and a slight delay when I go to the Favorites page in Phone app everything seems to work alright. I am getting roughly the same battery life as with Android Pie. Oh, and my banking app (ICICI Bank, India) is not working. It doesn't send an SMS to activate the app. I thought this might be as the phone number is shown as unknown. I understand that Vodafone in India does not show the phone number in the SIM information in Settings. I have activated dark mode and even photos and camera app work without a hitch. I have rooted with Magisk (Canary channel) and that is working without any problem.

OTOH, I've also been on Q since the day it came out (my birthday, coincidentally - love being an Ides of March baby lol).
I've had some issues crop up here and there, but nothing really serious. I was on Pie, rooted, and used the uninstall routine inside of Magisk to de-root my Taimen before taking Q, and then rooted it again with the (then latest) canary build.
What I'm hoping is that the Magisk procedure to de-root the device, take the OTA, and then before rebooting, applying the patched boot.img to the new partition will work, the same as if you're rooted on Pie and get an OTA.
Time will tell.

My notifications is coming like this only.. is this a bug?
or the clock is missing?
My device is not rooted. I'm not using any module or theme.

Clock missing - have you rebooted?

Yes I have. Atleast 2-3 times.

Wonder if it is System UI Tuner related?
You could give this a shot and see if the System UI is set to hide the clock, though the last time I actually tried to hide the clock, it didn't leave that space there....

I'm installing the update now, let's see just how differently this works on my Taimen.

630 GPU magisk plugin problem

As title states, I installed the 630 gpu plugin from the magisk repo, something interesting that I noticed though is if you go into developer options and hit "use gpu for screen composition" the whole screen goes black. A force reboot fixes it but does anyone know exactly why this does this?
Phone is 6T Tmobile, running international .17 no other mods. Magisk is version 20 on latest twrp 20.

why are you installing the plugin in the first place? I can't see how it would be beneficial - our gpu drivers are already up to date and optimised for thia specific phone model.

If you don't know, ask.. So I emailed the dev of that module. Will report back if I get an answer.

Oh and I believe that functionally forces GPU to render 2D elements like UI, instead of having CPU do it. Which is probably a bad idea as OS's have been in existence for dozens of years and they're still letting CPU handle those so there must be a reason. Probably about load spreading and saving the GPU for the real deal; hardcore gaming [emoji109]

About the module:
"Most of the flagships have the latest drivers. But many dont.
Like for example, many Custom ROMs for Poco still have v3xx drivers. It just for those who don't have the latest drivers. That is it!"
About the functionality:
"Yeah. That's correct. That might also draw more power is what I think.."
So you see? Don't just install stuff on your phone if you don't know what it does. OnePlus is a quick updater so this Magisk module is pointless on our device.
Kudos to Manuel Pinto for supporting our Poco friends!

Hello there,
The module is intended only for those that who aren't on the latest GPU driver. The module has v415 GPU Driver. If you have the same or maybe a newer version then this module is pointless.
However there are a lot of Device + ROMs that are still using old drivers (this module is intended for them).
It's my mistake that I should have made it clear in the description about all these things, but as other people were forcing me to push it to Magisk ASAP, I did it in a hurry by skipping the Description for the Magisk Module.
Sorry everybody!
I'll maybe push an update ASAP (I need some time)!
Also, huge thanks to @Timmmmaaahh for reaching out to me on email for the clarification for a fellow user.
Feel free to reach out to me if in doubt.
Thanks!

Just had a look into some info with AIDA64:
The current driver of the OOS kernel is, according to aida, actually version 324 all the way back from 2018. So technically the module could apply for fajita as well.
BUT: I don't see any benefit of doing so right now. Tested the module, it breaks camera usage in 3rd party apps for me and I don't notice a performance difference and doubt whether there are major improvements in efficiency or performance that would be noticeable.
Again, it doesn't seem worth it right now although it would be cool if we also had the latest Adreno drivers.

Good lookin out everyone!
And yeah I tried it because I was like what's the worst that can happen? A soft brick? Oh noooo. That's never happened to me before....
But yeah everything else on my phone works perfect with it installed, I just noticed when I flipped that toggle that it killed the screen but all gestures were still working and my girlfriend and I had a good laugh about it., She loves watching me experiment and brick my 6T.
But it doesn't break anything for me so far but I am a pretty barebones user. Just Marco gcam and snapchat hahaha.
But thanks all!

Well I took the time to install the module on my phone and here are some things people should be aware of. I am on OOS Beta 16 and the module installs just fine but here is what I was able to find:
* Any other launcher besides the OnePlus launcher crashes and doesn't respond. (Nova launcher did work but I didn't use it for very long.)
* The phone would randomly crash and reboot, as soon as I removed it I didn't experience any issues afterwards. YouTube would crash the phone for me when using this module.
* Video playback on Firefox or any browser would appear black, showing no video output at all but audio was still available.
* I ended going on the GitHub link for the module and the author said in one of the posts that he'll be making it an Android 10 only module since there are current issues on pie. While that happens, he'll see if he can fix up any known issues.
*The screen would sometimes go black for some unknown reason. For example when editing the name of an application in the OnePlus launcher, the second you press a keyboard key the screen will go black but after you type again where the keyboard would be it comes back up. Definitely one the more serious issues as well.
My advice to anyone wanting to install this is to make sure you're on either Android 10 OOS or (Preferred) on a Android 10 Custom ROM. OOS Pie just doesn't seem compatible with this module. It isn't worth the upgrade, I would pass and wait for any updates to come through for it.

I don't see the said update of the "Game Space" application with FINALLY the Famous "4D Vibration" and "Voice Change" So why China is entitled to these Features is us always nothing!!! whereas was sold well in the Characteristics of realme x2 pro for the purchase !!!

Yeah I mean you're worrying over something really trivial. Just enjoy the phone man. It's getting better with each update, why are you concerned over such silly things

Btw you linked the India website, I don't know if it's the same as the EU variant, but just a heads up to download the correct update for your device to avoid problems.
Seems like my battery has improved a lot after the update so thumbs up for that

India / EU can be flashed with same firmware.
Just CN is different and can only flashed with CN firmware.

Ah ok in that case, but I'd just rather flash the appropriate file for consistency.
Also, another thing that's not mentioned in the changelog, there's finally an option to tune the vibration intensity, even though there's only 3 levels.

So if you have no problem you buy equipment where you lack the functions that are indicated in a technical sheet of the device so many places for you! But this is not the case with all World. I may still be right to say that the technical sheet is incomplete because realme has been promoting it for its gamer side, but when your ni looks closer it is missing a lot Like double wifi, the game space application is not the same for everyone and it's still incredible! What is the problem? Yes I am one of those who also bought it for its gamer side, so I also have the right to be unhappy not to find the promise made of all these options missing in my version!

No I totally get you, I hate it when companies don't keep their promises and don't live up to the expectations, and I may be biased since I don't see the neccessity of those functions. But it seems you're stressing yourself too hard over nothing and want this just for the sake of having it and not because it's useful.
4d vibration sounds good on paper but I doubt it's that good. Also you would probably not see a real benefit from dual wifi, unless the network you're connecting to is REALLY slow. I'm not 100% sure, but that's my interpretation.
We should totally push companies to do better and to not screw us, agreed, but it's kinda pointless writing that over and over again here on xda. Did you contact them via mail?

just to be absolutely sure , to update if i am rooted with magisk , i only have to :
go to recovery
flash update.ozip
while still in recovery , i flash vbmeta.img
flash magisk.zip
then reboot into os
that is all ? i dont have to wipe cache or dalvik ?
can anyone confirm if i am missing any steps ?
Thanks

yes by email and on their social network but they must always answer me! maia to answer you even if you see no interest in it that does not mean that it is valid for all the people who have bought the realme x2 pro. but he thinks he has partly found the answer to my question .. by dint of trying several version of the 'Game Space' application, it is written in a notification that to activate these options they must connect to their realme account! which only exists on the Chinese or Indian version! Which is totally inconsistent. And as we can see on Youtube the Chinese or Indian version has 3 times more options than us on the "Games Space" application so yes I expect to have the same Thing, I paid dearly for this phone and I therefore think I am entitled to the same options as the others !!!

Can we actually force 90Hz in every app on this version?
That's the reason why I went to LineageOS, so I might come back if it's now possible (And no, the Magisk module available on this forum didn't work when I was on C.29)

The magisk module works for me. Worked ever since I was first rooted I think at c25, up until now at c31. Some apps are not complying, but that's just because they are programmed that way.

Well, those apps that aren't "progammed that way" works just fine in 90Hz on LineageOS, pretty sure that's just the module not really working for whatever reason.

That's not true, try 9GAG and tell me it doesn't switch back and forth?
Also Poweramp works at 90Hz everywhere but in library view, that's what I found out. Everything else works fine. Google Photos app was 60Hz, but after flashing the module it's 90Hz.

i flashed the rom through twrp (was using los before) but not able to use payment apps. it shows "system integrity compromised". can somebody tell me what i did wrong?
