Anyone trying it?
Beta 1 also known as DP2.
https://www.google.com/android/beta
Taking the plunge right now. I'll report later.
anyone else try it yet? I am assuming it is daily driver ready like N beta was
I am also waiting to see what people are reporting, hoping it's stable. Since I am on a custom rom it's a bit of a pain to load, don't see factory images yet.
I was thinking about trying this Android O beta out. I have a Verizon Pixel running stock (the bootloader is unlocked though). Should I have any issues?
Also, I know if I opt out of the beta, I'll lose all user data but will I lose user data when opting in and upgrading the Android O?

Unlocked bootloader is not a problem, in fact its better to have the option if anything goes wrong.
If you switch to official O when it's out no wipe required. Only if you want to go back to N.
I too am waiting for reports before i put it on my daily. i will be throwing it onto my nexus 6p tonight thought to try it out. if i dont see any bugs that are too bad... i may throw it on the pixel
Really eager to hear about battery life impact here if anyone can provide feedback.
Can anyone give some basic info about stability? I'd love to jump on with my Daily Driver, just if it isn't ready for it, I'll wait. Thanks in advance!
took forever to install(half hourish).900 mb
everything works so far without a wipe coming from the latest verizon 7.1.2 build.
confirmed tested on my part
camera
android wear connects
fingerprint unlock(seems faster)
foxfi usb tether fosho
overall seems buttery and the pulldown menu is surely nicer with being able to hit settings button without a reach is really nice. i couldnt get picture in picture to go but i didnt dive into the menus too far yet. so far so good. i think it's safe.
Factory images and OTAs for ODP2.
Release notes and detailed description.

It's a nice beta so far. One thing noticed is double tap to check turn on the black screen but tapping the screen or notification icons won't do nothing and theme option won't switch to Pixel theme, even selecting it. Notification dots is a very good implementation for handling notification in a easily way. Ending my words, another great thing is that now night light have a intensity slider.
Any one has magisk or any root method working on this
Tried to update from latest Android N, didn't boot up, got a data corrupted message during install...
Can I now flash the Android O Factory Image without -w to get it running?
and most people in that tweeter feed can't get it to go either. every time i longpress home it launches assistant. and the setting to allow pip for youtube chrome and google play services are on by default.

Probably, doesn't hurt to try flashing ODP2 factory image without -w.

Is your notification shade stuck on the inverted theme and in device theme there is Pixel and some android_auto_generated_rro_ theme?

Just got mine too. Look at the update size!
I'm also upgrading, guess if they have resolved the battery drain issue
Anyone root it yet? Does the usual method per senor Heisenberg's directions work?
Post what's different guys.
7.1.1. Got a support tab in settings. Nothing but help guides. No support staff. New 'Moves' sub setting, which is where Gesture settings now live basically. Still looking for more...
Android Pay now pre-installed.
New Camera app? There's the grid options now.
New 'Restart' option when long pressing power button.
Keyboard has Gif support under emoji menu.
Not seeing anything more right now. Can't be bothered to check stock launcher as I use Apex. Sure there may be circular icons etc but I just don't care!
Seems like the battery Life improved, anyone?
I don't have the battery drain issue like 7.0

There are dozens of articles out there on what's new in 7.1.
I totally hate the support tab. It's completely useless for me, any other XDA member or even any non member with half a brain. In fact the whole settings page has gotten nasty post Marshmallow.
Otherwise things seem to be improving slightly with almost every iteration.
NRT by Wugfresh works perfect fyi...

2. no Google Assistant
3. the navigation bar still is old design

That's the only thing I haven't been able to get it to do so far. That and I don't have as many round icons as the pictures of pixel scenes show even though I have the pixel icons all installed and the pixel launcher
Probably a silly question, but I got the OTA when rooted. Is it safe to install it from there, or should I flash it manually (I've only modified build.prop for the Assistant and have the Pixel NavBar as a substratum theme).

Not yet, from what I'm gathering it should be safe, but you lose root. I'll probably test it later today, I don't have the time to deal with it if it goes wrong right now.

This is only exclusive for Pixel Phones.
Installed it this morning. Result: No change. not a single round icon or any change!?? I am confused.
Overnight battery drain now negligible. Much better than before.

Have fun
It is actually a lot more stable than I would have imagined. Glad I flashed it. Only issue I see so far is now I have an ongoing notification for the Beta Program download.
Dedicated theme section in the display settings. Promising!
I'm really enjoying it so far. Will report shortly if anything breaks. Main thing I'm looking for is enhanced battery life with the new backgrounding method.
- Dedicated theme section -- Inverted theme
- Resizable navigation bar -- Ability to add extra functions to left and right of soft keys
- Settings options are all in different order now (took me a few seconds to re-orient myself. LOL)
- Struggling with TWRP with 'fastboot boot twrp.img': It goes to black screen, then does an ramdump.

I tried the preview for like 6 hours, and I was happy with it till I discovered that Play Games doesn't works on O.
Thats a killer for me, because I use my device mostly for games and social, and I cant log to my games without Play Games.

I just checked my Note 8 and sure enough ... the update is ready from Verizon. I'm installing it now before I leave for work. Let's hope this thing works out okay. This is my work device!
Same here, I am downloading now.. And I hope it works out well also....
Sent from my note 8...
Ah, just got back into the country, saw the posts, checked and it's available. NorCal.
r_r
Just got it as well! https://thematridox.com/2018/03/30/samsungs-galaxy-note-8-get-android-oreo-on-verizon/
does it have the video lockscreen?
Network mode in oreo has changed... Global mode was removed!
I just noticed that 'message tone' has been removed from the contacts page. No more individual text message tones for your friends or family! UGH! Why remove a feature that's been on every Android I've owned since 4.2? I don't want to use a different text messaging app. I liked the way its been set up for the past ..umm... 10 YEARS! I'm certain that Apple will never remove that feature from their devices. I want ROOT so I can go back and FIX IT!
First rule of programming ... don't remove features unless they are broken. New versions should ADD improvements, not remove features that have been around forever that has always worked! I'm almost tempted to use ODIN to go back to 7.1.1. Makes me wonder what else is missing. I'm not happy with my $1000 phone

I still have it. I have Global, LTE/CDMA, and LTE/GSM/UMTS
So far, I've noticed the phone is faster and the enhanced lock screen and notifications are great. The occasional split second hiccups when opening apps seem to have gone away. The battery seems to drain more quickly but hopefully it will settle after a few charge cycles.
I forgot to take a screen before I plugged it up, but I ran it yesterday from approximately 11am until today at 1pm. So for a new build, it wasn't bad at all.. The only hiccup I had was with my poweramp audio player.. But I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems fine..
But it is certainly much snappier.. And the little default YouTube picture in picture is pretty cool (simply because it just does it on its own). But I sure at some point it will begin to get in my nerves just doing it all the time...
But I took a screen of the battery stat for the screen and attached it...
Sent from my note 8...
Has the sound improved like the S9? Is there an option to turn on Atmos sound?
Is anyone missing the force touch settings feature whwn you hold down on an app from the home screen or apps page it brings up options for the app. I cant get mine to work. Seen here at 1.min mark.
Update… i have it. Doeant work for all apps.
Can anyone tell me if I go from a rooted Verizon note 8 and update to Oreo, if I can't get the hotspot to work right, will I be able to downgrade to re-root? Or if I backup what I have now using flashify, can I go back using the restore option on flashify?

Here is all you need to update from Nougat to Oreo.
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note8-android-oreo-update/
After following the instructions up above and you have Oreo installed, follow the next instructions to install CRC2 here and then CRC4, then CRC5
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...-patch-on-the-samsung-galaxy-note8/?nocache=1
Well, I finally got the Double Stuf Oreo goodness on my Note8. It was an absolute NIGHTMARE to get, though!! Had to do it an unholy SIX TIMES before it stuck - the first five wound up reverting back to the stock Nougat upon rebooting!
Happy to report that after a few charge cycles, battery life is great again.
I am on a Note 8 and the last OTA Oreo patched the hotspot hack via bk package disabler. I am doing the sim card trick right now for my hotspot and it's been working like a charm. It is critical for me to keep this... does anyone know if the current update being pushed now patches that as well? If so, can I disable the system update notification?
Thanks in advance

I don't think it's the same as iPhone X gesture. But as seen in the video, it's kinda trash. Why use gesture to show the recent apps only? Still have to press home to go to homescreen. Still have to press back to go back. Still have the damn big black navigation bar. It just removes the recent button for nothing at all.
I looked into leaks and it seems to me that this is an alternative type of navigation, which you can enable in Settings. We will have to wait and see how it will be implemented. Hoping that it won't be default and the only type of navigation...

Yeah, I really don't understand why they will introduce gesture navigation without reducing navigation bar size... Looks silly to me

This isn't gesture. OnePlus Beta has had full gesture like iPhone X for many months now that works like iPhone. Basically, most of it is the 3 essential movements. Swipe up from bottom on the left side, go back. Swipe up the middle from bottom, Home. Swipe right side from bottom, menu.
I really like that feature before I switched to VZW and had to get a new phone the Pixel 2 XL.
Another good feature with OnePlus implementation, all of your apps use the full screen in this mode. No bars/space at the bottom, you actually have a fully usable display now and the apps fit it properly.
Some of the mods in a few custom Roms that allow navbar height adjustment, do that for some apps, but the bar is still there. Even a few of the swipe nav features don't make the apps fit the full screen.
That is how a true swipe function should work, your screen is fully usable to the bottom. Apps like Waze fit better adding that little bit to the screen real estate. And I got used to the swiping very quickly, had a hard time going back to the regular bottons on the screen.
Not everything Apple does/implement is garbage. This is one that makes sense, gives you more screen real estate, and is easy to adapt your behavior to. I'm tired of the big fat top/bottom space of the Pixel. OnePlus 5T and the new 6 are really a good example of how a phone should be made, slim near zero bezels, more screen space, and simple gesture features.
We can now sign up to beta lads one question though.. I've opted in... Will i get the beta thru ota on dp1? Or do i need to roll back to 8.1 ?
You will need to roll back.
So did they realize they killed two recent app button features they just added one or two android versions ago....being double tap to switch apps quickly or long press to enter multiwindow?

Quick question: I'm stock, rooted, with TWRP installed on DP1. I just got refreshed and got the DP2 ready to download. If I take the update, it would just unroot my phone and remove the custom recovery right? Or would I have to do unroot/etc manually before updating in order to prevent issues?

Those features were not killed, just moved. To switch back to the most recent app just slide the pill quickly to the right from any screen - that's even easier than double tap. For multiwindow / split screen you swipe up briefly to get to the recent apps then each app has an icon in the center top that you can click to go into split screen or get app info.
Hello
Since I bought the Note 9 I have a theme bug in the message app, the themes that try to change the messages bubbles don't do it anymore.
And the result is quite dirty: I get messages written white on white !

You can't use night mode with themes on. They cancel out each other now.
What android version are you on? If you're on Pie but you're installing a theme and the homescreen screenshot in the store shows the clock widget at the Top of the screen, then that theme isn't updated for Pie as yet and will cause issues with theming.
I am still on Oreo 8.1 and frankly I don't think I will upgrade to Pie, I saw it and OneUi on my wife's S9, it is very elegant and round but all is black or white, no more colors
In fact I had the Note 8 before and it worked properly, when the Note 9 went out, I thought it would be better, with more battery, enhanced audio and so on, but basics like the themes do not work, and I am starting to regret the change.
Besides all the apps have been upgraded to their current version under Oreo

It depends on theme you use. I have themes on Pie with colours everywhere.
I tried Pie and went back to Oreo. Many dark themes, even those updated for Pie had elements that didn't work properly (white text on white backgrounds, misaligned bubble menus). Perhaps they'll improve over time.
For now, Oreo works great and many of the Pie enhancements are available through Good Lock.
And ironically, this upgrade has shown up on my phone yesterday.
Trouble is I really want to stay on Oreo
But now there is a notification about the upgrade that is bugging me and I can't get rid of it. I seached google for a solution but apparently without rooting the phone no one found a way to stop it.
It can be stopped by using an ADB command to uninstall the Software Update app.
