8.1 Dev Preview - Nexus 5X General

So Bullhead lives on. Google has released 8.1 Dev Preview with final release planned for December...
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-8-1-oreo-developer-preview-1/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...loper-preview-final-release-planned-december/
Changelog below.
https://www.droid-life.com/2017/10/25/android-8-1-developer-preview-changelog/
Most interesting part for our 2 GB RAM device.
Improved Targeting for Low-RAM Devices
Android 8.1 (API level 27) adds two new hardware-feature constants, FEATURE_RAM_LOW and FEATURE_RAM_NORMAL, to Package Manager. These constants allow you target the distribution of your apps and APK splits to normal- or low-RAM devices.
These constants enable the Play store to promote a better user experience by highlighting apps especially well-suited to the capabilities of a given device.

has anyone tried it already? root works? magisk? thanks!

I'm running it now and I can verify that magisk 14.3 works to root 8.1

How's performance so far for those running it?

Good to hear. Might give it a whirl soon, but I'm waiting to see if there are any reports of sluggishness/lag, etc. Hopefully the battery is just as good. I actually get more battery on Oreo than Nougat, which is wild

I have also got more battery on Oreo. That's how it's supposed to be as per Google.

Did anyone get an OTA ? I'm still enrolled in the Android O beta program but got nothing so far.

So I'm on 8.0.0, do I just need to flash the dev preview via twrp or adb? I don't want to loose root and all my data.

Tell me in Dev. Prev. on nexus 5x is there pixel launcher, or is still the nexus?
Im using pixel rom, and i love the new pixel launcher

I waited overnight after enrolling in the beta program but gave up and adb sideloaded it.

Can't tell exactly, because im not using Android pay, but it should work as omni doesnt include root by default
Pay didn't work, but it was cool trying something else, booted fine. I used micro gapps. I'm back on CM, but its nice to know there are other ROMs. Is omni a fork of CM?

As omni is based on AOSP it is unrooted by default
PkmnGo should work, afaik.
Give it a try and tell us if it worked.

Go check on youtube Game Of Roms review on oneplus 3
Pokemon go doesnt work eventhough it doesnt come rooted nor has traces of root but the build is userdebug (think thats the issue)
Used nano opengapps.

Custom kernels don't work without breaking camera or Wi-Fi (or both), we need the Omni version of Lightning kernel updated.

Dark theme for Dialer? ICS style?

Is there any way to dark theme the stock Nougat dialer. It's very harsh on the eyes. I have seen standalone dialers and flashable ones....any other choices?
Thanks!

If you are rooted, you can use substratum theme.
But theming Google apps is a nightmare.

With the Andromeda add-on you don't need root to work with substratum. Just run an ADB command to grant permissions

OK...no more Nougat. Now I'm on 8.1 so Hoe the hell do I get rid of the nasty bright blue dialer without resorting to an entire them or adding substratum?

Might just be the theme you're using then. Sometimes some components fail on some themes. You usually have to reboot after compiling the theme and then run Andromeda again and enable the themes after the reboot

It'll be interesting to see how new permission model for restricting background idle usage will effect battery life.
I have a feeling we can squeeze a lot more out of the 821
The answer is quite simple....a lot of missed notifications!

Not notifications, but apps unnecessarily syncing data or using the sensors when in idle.
My phone deep sleeps 65% of the time according to CPU stats and I don't miss any notifications.

Anyone try supersu
Corners are rounded on the UI in AP. Time clock is now on the left. Its doesnt bother me much. Giving it a go now
I like it a lot good bye oreo working on root now I got root access but only thru adb gimme a few lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrwdS4_vpOI
Settings app is real ugly
I flashed the OTA image for my phone... Some of my apps don't work so I'm trying to go back to Oreo. I tried toggling the OEM unlocking toggle but nothing happens after I type in my pin. I tried rebooting into fastboot but it says that I cannot unlock. I am stuck on the preview with crashing apps. I need my apps to work (carrier related). Has anyone else had issues with OEM unlocking on the preview?
Does anyone have a fix?
Edit: I fixed it... Had to remove my PIN to get it to enable... Weird but it works. Going for downgrade now.

Everything is working including GCam. Dark, Glassy and Shady themes are available built in. Performance is buttery smooth. I have installed all my apps back through Titanium backup and all are working without issues. I just tried PUBG and yes, it is working smoothly. So that's the one ROM we were all looking forward to. :highfive:

[ROM] MIUI 10 [Xiaomi.eu] (8.9.20) [Port RN4]

I'm sharing this ROM. This doesn't belong to me and the credit goes to the developers.
Download link: https://mega.nz/#!PAkQhABJ!MUY1S1U5HRftVgjZmh2Johnvvh1_JhC0wtmnCNHKZAU
I'm surprised why people aren't using this ROM. I recently came across this on 4pda and I'm pleasantly surprised with it's stability and feature set. So here's what you need to know before flashing.
Instructions:
Use twrp 3.2.1
Flash ROM. Magisk 17.2 is included. You can flash 19.2 over it.
No need of gapps.
Wait 3-5 mins.
If u want nav bar open build.prop and search "mainkeys". Default is 1. Set it as 0 for nav bar. But I suggest you use fluid navigation gestures.
Stuff to know:
It's based upon nougat(redmi note 4 port). But brings a lot of stuff from Oreo like stopping notifications directly from the notification shade, settings button in notification, etc.
MIUI gestures don't work. I just use fluid navigation gestures.
Most of the MIUI features like app lock, dual apps, themes, mi account, etc are working perfectly.
Sustratum theme is working. Just download Dec 2018 apk of it and you can use pitchblack for a great AMOLED experience.
Battery life is pretty good. 8-9 moderate. 6-7 heavy. If you just binge 10+ easily possible. No deep sleep issues of any sort.
Banking apps like phone pe and gpay are working with magisk hide. Also disable telephone permission from Google play services.
Bugs:
No 24W fast charging. It takes 2 hrs to go from 0-80. 2.5 for a full charge.
Again, this ROM doesn't belong to me. As a past xiaomi user I just loved the idea of getting to use MIUI again.
This ROM deserves more love.
How does this compare to miuipro_v7.0_kuntao_9.1.17 which was released in February 2019.

Don't think Gcam works but FP works.
No gcam but it comes with xiaomi's camera and footej camera can be used for video. Fp gestures work just fine. Compared MIUI 9, I feel they're very similar but the animations on this one are slick. They have snooze notifications from pie, also able to silent or put in dnd for a time limit. Nifty features have been included.
