QuantumOS for the Pixel

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.

Google Pixel: 2 years later

It's been 2 years since Google Pixel (XL) was released.
Unfortunately, this means no more major releases for these phones.
I hope the community would still be able to create some porting of next versions of Android, because the OG Pixel still rocks nowadays.
Too bad that a powerful phone like this one will only get security patches for only one year from now.

I still hope they give us 9.1

"No guaranteed Android version updates after" does not mean that there is no chance, if next Android versions don't require to much tinkering to be ported to the Pixel I think they will do it.

I was thinking the same thing about "guaranteed." I found no compelling reason to move to Pixel 2. I still see nothing in Pixel 3 that makes me want to spend the money especially to guarantee bootloader unlock.

I second that. Pixel is still kicking.

What's with the Treble thing? Do you think we could get future versions ported easily?

I purchased a Pixel second hand off eBay about 2 months ago, switch from a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active and I can say without a doubt. It out does the Galaxy without a problem. Though I miss the heartbeat monitor. It is sad to see that this powerful phone doesn't have any more Android version updates anymore but the community probably will be updating it more and more. My favorite thing about this phone I have to say is just the usability and ease or finding everything where it makes sense to find.

Keyword is "minimum" at the top. Google like Samsung and many other makers are only obligated to provide support for two years. That is all they are saying. Also, with Google having the Pixel /XL on Android P, do you really they will drop support with only a few makers with Pie? Other makers say only two year support. Most phone like this one has gotten two major Android os updates. Since this also is their first in house phone with full Google logo inside and out, I highly doubtful they will just drop support. Why even put out Android P on the pixel? They could stuck at 8.1 and not updated to P. They are keeping their phones out there viable. With most their testing of new OS on their in house phones, and it being HTC, which they now own half of, no way do I see them dropping support. Especially how close all three versions are. A few different drivers per phone, but highly used chipsets across the board. The Sailfish and Marlin still have more development than say Samsung flagships, lg flagships, and any other phones out there. Go look threw XDA. I got tired of waiting for root again on the s8 I sold that pos and got a pixel and pixel 2 xl. These phones are far from done. This pixel rooted on stock kernel still kills my old s8. Quad core vs octo core. Pixel quad smashes it.

You can always install a Custom Rom like Lineage OS to get the newest Android when Google stops updating the phone...

Oh for sure. Lineageos rocks. Got that on old s5. Oreo on a s5. Unreal. A lot of extra features. Really got that phone for a house phone now and works great.

is possible that they will do the 'same' thing? I mean, they give new update to 'slow down' the old devices, so the current user will feel need to upgrade
even they do, we still have custom rom, which always want make our device running more fast, rite?

Until we stop actually getting updates, I wouldn't worry about it. And we'll probably know before hand when that will be. Plus with Pixel 3 out we're going to get some of the software, whether Google wants us to have it or not. Night Shot with the Pixel 3 camera on my original Pixel.

Still rocking my OG pixel but tomorrow I am getting a battery replacement. Phone works great but watching the battery level is like watching the gas gauge on a race car... no desire to upgrade as everything else works great.

Google confirms it's still working on the November update for 2016 Pixels

I have Nexus 5x with 4gigs of RAM as my second phone and it was officially updated up to 8.1. And also it is quite suitable for the pixel2 ROM port with almost all the features working without any problems. I don't see why Pixel 1 can be less capable to be updated in future at least two android versions up

This phone is amazing still now we have offical night shot I am do happy

This isn't the reason at all, Pie is out for the note 8/9. Problem is T-mobile needs to do testing with their software before it gets out to T-mobile customers.

This IS the point. Regardless of who is doing the testing, the freaking phone doesn't get the update. The Note 7 FE version got it already and we are still waiting. The Note 8 was a flagship a year ago. Updates should come in a month or two, not a year's time regardless of who is testing it. Both TMO and Samsung need to respond faster. Not a problem on my Pixel 3Xl since TMO doesn't need to "test it".

PIE is out for Sprint

Its been three weeks on the testing block and still no update. Its a shame tmobile lacking to update the note 8 knowing this was a flagship phone when it came out two years ago.

It'll be here in days.

Looks like ATT is rolling out as of now. Let's hope T-Mo has it together enough to be in the same ballpark as Sprint and ATT, at least.

T-Mobile begins to rollout Android 9.0 Pie for Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 phones
First Sprint, second AT&T and now T-Mobile is sending Android Pie for Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 phones that are running on Android 8.0 Oreo.
The latest software update bring Android version 9.0 Pie and Samsung's One UI interface along with new features. Also, the update contains March 2019 security patch including bug fixes and system improvements.

Garbage article. That's the S8 update.

Ya according to this site and others https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950U/ That is the Sprint version.

https://www.droid-life.com/2019/03/...-mobile-galaxy-note-8-and-s8-phones-are-here/

It's not out for the T-Mobile Note 8 yet. While ATT and T-Mobile have both pushed the S8 and S8+ updates, only ATT (and earlier Sprint) has pushed the Note 8 Pie update.

Android 10

Wtf 7pro had stable 10 all ready obviously OnePlus put 6t on the back burner ? I know beta meant to come out soon but what the hell man

Well now. It's not their flagship anymore, so this is standard. Companies don't have infinite resources!
The fact is we had Android 10 betas on the 6t before 10 was released, this is unheard of outside of Google devices until now. And OP jumped right in.
They're doing great! Every OP phone I've owned has had better support than the one before so IMHO they're really working on improving themselves.

Fully agree - having the latest security patches on it is a big plus.
Regarding sensor issues google "sensor issues Android 10 Pixel" and you'll see a lot of reports about it.

Guys calm it down, we don't have super improvements since the last 3-4 years. If you need the super small improvements right away you have to buy a Google phone.
Be glad that you'll get it and be glad that oneplus has an awesome support lifetime since the 1+3

Not particularly worried about this, neither particularly eager to have 10.
What I would like to know, though, is if the security updates will continue till the update to 10 or if they will stop until we will be able to update to 10.
That's what worries me.

I put 10 on my Essential PH-1...I use nova launcher and keep the 3 button standard arrangement. Not into the swipe menu stuff.
I couldn't really see any "real" difference between 9 & 10.
When it comes, I'll wait a week, just to be safe. I prefer stable over "new".
I really liked the PH-1, but the OnePlus 6T in my area has a better signal than the PH-1.

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.

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.

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

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:.
