What unknown? What? Is this device have some problems? Maybe its CPU overheats? Maybe it has bad drivers? Maybe it's running on MTK?
There's everything obvious - Xperia X is still a great device, and it SHOULD get every security update.

Initially X was never part of ANdroid 8 when sony released software binaries. however it was last minute include. the line was drawn at X-perf
It feels good how finally Android 8 is running stable on X however as daily driver and with burden of social apps. X starts lagging and overheats as you said! , many functions and camera don't work.

That's only a problem of YOUR PERSONAL device. My X is neither lagging nor overheating even in a hot situations (tested in my bathroom with 41 gradus temperature, runs great). I don't have any problems with my X, neither all my X users I know from 4PDA. So stop telling people that Oreo is bad when YOUR device overheats and lags, please.
I suggest you to visit some local repair shops and ask them for checking your cooling system.

on this road map xperia X and X performance was added later, sony had cut-off taken for OREO for XZ PROJECT ONLY! however later two X devices added, A post was on xda did mention last year how Sony has announced to discontinue X and Xc when it was just on 7.0 only! back then everyone was hoping that it should get atleast 7.1, if not Oreo!

I own two Xperia X, Black and Lime, so there goes your argument.
also its not my personal opinion and as Hardware there is NOTHING wrong with Xperia X. we are talking about software part.
I have tried my Black X with Omnirom 7.1.1 and 8.1 and the same X has
1. Amazing Batter Life
2. No overheating
3. no Lagging
4. Camera works perfect and records 4K
since you are using my modded kernels and ROOT ACCESS allows you to modify Oreo by having different modes in Magisks and/or control bloatware etc.
I would suggest you to flash oreo .2.70 right-away and use untouched for one weak with all the bells ringing and we will see

Due to the following features I am using Oreo (XGEN) build on .2.50
1. Better Screen Resolution/Tone ( the tint in Oreo on screen is soothing to eyes as compare to N)
2. Cleartype ScreenFonts
3. Nighlight
4. Notification settings options and panel
5. Setting Menu simplified (a bit better than Nougat)
-- however these are all UI and cosmetic affects
I was happier and relaxed on the final build .252 (came dec17) android 7.1.1. I kept switching back to .252 after trying first two Oreo builds which I found horrible in terms of battery life & overheating; and its not just me, many user reported the same on various posts (in and out of XDA forums) about how after upgrading to Oreo they are facing overheating and battery drain issues. when X overheats it starts lagging.
10April18 build .2.50 (third attempt) has been quite better than its predecessor builds but still can't compete with dec17 build .252.
REMEMBER, my comparison / observation is on ROOTED Xperia-X

Nice challenge!)
I'd like to accept it, but since I was already using Oreo on locked bl (before your kernel was released for 5121), I can share some thoughts. It was running stable, maybe camera was a little bit worse than I expected. No overheat (was it because of a winter?), no lags, no anything. It was a clean and stable ROM. So...
But thanks for the idea of challenge like this. I have a guy with untouched X, so maybe he will tell something there.
over-heating
Hi Guys,
My Xperia-X is replaced in this may month in warranty.
After replaced I am feeling too much overheating.
From the first day, I have an update to latest may security update.
Now I don't know this over-heating is due to may update or again I got faulty hardware by Sony.
What about you guys do you feel over-heating especially after may update?
Hey folks, heads up June update is out and about..

It's the 4.4.2 upgrade. Ever since it went on the phone I have to keep location services off or Android OS will eat my battery.
I wouldn't be worrying about this if there was an active CM dev effort for this phone, but it really looks like this phone is (already!) being dropped. Nobody's worked on the X8 unified build in a month. Starting to think this phone was a mistake.
I remember reading some of the blogs looking for a flagship phone with a mid-size screen. All the "mini" versions are dual core 1.7GHz systems. It's not that nobody would build a midsize with a hot quadcore, it's just that you can't fit enough battery for a hot quad behind a medium display. And by the time I went through all the available dual-core phones (at Verizon, anyway), really nothing comes close to the Moto X.
But I think this could be a dead end. The last three days or so I've been reading how Google's wrapping up 4.4.3, and it looks like these battery leaks are one of their priorities. But without CM, I wonder how long it will take to get that build through VZW and the other carriers.
Cm and what not aren't too popular, as you lose all those nice moto features.
And flip through this thread a bit and you'll see a lot of battery issues solved or worked around.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418077
But yes...depending what else is on your phone and accessing location services....location services can be a battery drain. Toggle when needed is usually my advice. But....there's ways to get it under control. Check out the thread I linked. Massive amounts of good info in there.

CM nightlys here http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt. I flashed one a couple builds back just check it out, I'm on Verizon (xt1060) unlocked with china code. Flashed back to stock just for moto features but all seemed well on CM. Didn't use it long enough to test battery. I believe they've unified the builds to work with all variants.

Yeah, the nightlies are generated automatically, and I imagine they include incremental CM changes. But like I said, it's been about a month since the last device-specific check-in, and the feedback I'm hearing is that the speaker phone is broken ever since then.
If you use the snapdragon battery guru app it helps soooo much I get 24 hours of battery daily . Make sure you turn your screen brightness down as much as possible also . Try OSE it was amazing on my atrix HD you can find the builds at Dr.devs website .

I found the BBC Weather was keeping my phone awake all the time. Only worked that out after a factory reset. I'd suggest giving your phone a wipe, it's not ideal at all but it sorted mine out. I reckon the 4.4.2 update has screwed up location somewhow.
Go to play store.
Check all your installed apps and uninstall any that have not been updated since kit kat release.

Moto X developer edition
They stopped working on individual devices, And are now doing Unified builds. MSM8960dt works on all Moto X phones, and I believe RAZR MAXX phones as well.Why do the same thing 8 times when it can be done once? Try PAC ROM. 8960DT, use it all day, and battery rarely dips below 60%.

I don't think that is what the poster above meant when he was talking about device specific builds.
By that he meant Moto X specific and not all individual moto x models.
Current nightless are adding new stuff that is getting added to all cm builds. But not fixing any known issues with our phone like the speaker phone issue. To fix that, some developer will have to work on Moto X specific code which will probably work on all Moto X models.
This is the main reason I am not running cm. ( That and active notifications. But I can live without active notifications if all basic functions are working properly including speakerphone and camera) . love the performance, but I need to use speakerphone a lot when speaking and working on my computer at the same time or when my hands are dirty.
From my Moto X, in your face!

Cool, well im not a big camera guy, quick snap here and there, otherwise i like the camera, what benefits does the new camera api bring in?
I just hope for a memory fix and the ui being smoothed out and less laggy...
Manual Controls!! I do like the simplicity of the Motorola Camera app but the Camera Sensor being the same as Nexus 5 would definitely improve with camera api 2.0 just check out some shots of N5 using camera api 2, especially low light. The camera of Moto G (2014) is amazing for its price except the software which limits it to great extent. Just wish Nokia makes an Camera App similar to its Windows Phone app with Camera api 2.0 support. Nokia Lumia 520 surprises me with its amazing camera performance while no phone is near in the same price range in android universe!!
Yes, it's true about our Moto G ship the same Nexus 5 camera sensor. The only difference is that Nexus 5 has OIS.
http://www.techspot.com/review/888-motorola-moto-g-2014/page3.html
The sensor + SoC support 1080p video recording, but it seems moto was lazy to develop the camera.
Can't we just borrow nexus 5 drivers????
Does anybody know if the Moto G 2nd gen will get an update to 5.1?
How likely do you think it is? I'm guessing the jump from 4.4 to 5.0 was not easy because drivers etc, but from 5.0 to 5.1 of your Motorola you don't have to worry about hardware problems so it should be a matter of weeks once 5.1 is official...?
What do you think. Quick OTA fix?

This is exactly what i thought. I had this doubt for a long time and i thought it'd be stupid to ask. Now that i know the sensors are same, library edits and media codec edits should bring 1080p recording to our phone. Any interested devs out there?
There must be some issues otherwise any dev could've already made it! I still have some hope that someone will find a way to enable camera api 2.0+ support so we could enjoy snapping with our Moto more! and Snapdragon 400 Soc does supports 1080p encoding and decoding and camera is capable of 1080p recording so it is possible with adequate dev support and kernel sources we may get!!
Speaking of ram management, I just read in a nexus 5 thread that it looks like it's been fixed and the device is working like a charm.
Surely, it's the nexus 5 we're talking about and it hasn't been a full day yet, but someone says the apps are opening/switching much faster and that launcher redraws have been non existent as of now.
Wonder how titan will deal with that. After all, the android one devices haven't really got impressive specs but they still seem to deliver quite well, right?
So 5.1.1 was leaked on a Google Dev page today (Source)
What would we want to see in this Lollipop update for the N6 seeming we know nothing about whats coming?
Me personally? A bit better battery life (I think the second .1 indicates new kernel?) and to clean up some of the bugs.

probably nothing beneficial for the N6... looks like it's only going to be for the N7 and N9... much like the 5.0.2 release was never "official" for the N6.
If its truly LMY47S, then it is not really 5.1.1.
That has the same build date code as 5.1.
I want faster responding sensors. Auto dimming, proximity sensor for phone calls sped up. Damn thing takes forever! As does auto rotate.
Want a rocketship for blasting off to Mars! Seems my Nexus6 has about everything else!
I'd like my battery to last over 9000 minutes of screen on time.
Three wishes, and none of them for an iPhone, M9, or S6.
Better battery optimization, improved camera and radio, and ability to switch to a dark Material theme.
Performance improvement for Camera, Dialer and occasional dropped frames in animations.
I would like google to unlock the notification led xD
Faster booting up and more options when shutting down.
Screen resolution options.
That's it for now, only had it for 2 days. Still learning about lollipop, I came from an galaxy s3.

To you and others in this thread - You're on XDA and many of the feature requests are available in most custom ROMs. "I don't run rooted ROMs" or "I'd like those features to be in stock ROM" will probably be your reply, to which I will say, why are you commenting on a developer / Android customization forum?

Why would Google implement something that is unnecessary and could cause problems? There hasn't been any need to close apps for quite a few iterations of android (actually an understatement)

Well it's using a tegra chip. All other nexus are using Qualcomm chips. Minus the 9 which is also late to the party.
The N6 is already a great device. What would make it stand above the rest is for it to be natively as smooth and lag free as the N5 is and to add some minor battery life improvements.

im not sure about 5.1 but most probably we'll get it.however as for android M its mostly a no from me :/
I'm not even sure for 5.1, seems that samsung prefer to focus on newest phone and let their old premium flagship behind
I don't think we're inline for M, but we can easily flash a ported Note 5 ROM.

Yes but I'm talking about official update
I hope we do get an update because 5.0 is broken for me.
Battery life almost half what kitkat was and I have a Pebble smartwatch that doesn't stay connected because of the bluetooth issues introduced with 5.0
It's broken because you didn't do a clean installation, 5.0 is great, battery life is better than it ever was on Kitkat!

It was never great.
It isn't great because Lollipop isn't great anyway! You troll too much!
I have been doing some reading and i will try a clean install to try and improve battery. Anything worth a shot.
But 5.0 still introduced a bluetooth bug that prevents my pebble smartwatch staying paired - I believe 5.1 fixes this.
Take a look: HERE.
Only the lockscreen pointers are meaningful, others aren't. Battery life is indeed better in Lollipop than KitKat. Samsung has brought back Silent mode, and yes, it is the True Silent Mode, can't believe how and why Google fraked it up! Can't say about Multi tasking, I just need to three or four open apps, and they work more than fine. Can't comment on Apps' compatibility either, I only need a 50 of handful apps that's all. But yes, the Lock screen notifications are fraked up, the Lock screen management was indeed much better in KitKat. But overall that dark crap of KitKat was very tiresome for me. I love how Lollipop looks, how it works, and this is 5.0, so I am sure a fixed version of 5.0, i.e 5.1 will work much better.
5.1.1 probably. 6 sure not

Sad, knowing Note 3 still a very good powerful device ( specs is quite good even in 09/2015 - s800 - 3gb ram - full HD)

It's broken because you didn't do a clean installation, 5.0 is great, battery life is better than it ever was on Kitkat!

It should be. This is not a magic, Samsung didn't make any special ROM for me, so if it works fine on my device, it should work fine on all the other N9005 units, as simple as that.

Not necessarily.
1. Mass production doesn't produce equal products, it produce similar products. All of them within a range of acceptance.
2. You're commenting in a global forum, people don't only own N9005s.
3. With the huge amount of people here, something's gonna fail. It's a matter of statistics.
4. A device that's so likely to fall, get hit or suffer different conditions is gonna react differently.
Anyway, I'm not commenting anymore here because it's completely off-topic.

Yes, agreed with all the points, but those were self implied. If a person doesn't know whether his/ her phone has taken a good amount of damage or not, then no comments. And I know that there are other versions of Note 3, that's why I specifically mentioned the model number!
I see battery related problems mostly and others with Lollipop ROMs, and I then ask whether it was a clean installation or not, and in 90% scenario, if not more, users say, no they took an OTA update! So there you go.
Hello,
Now it's fully official.
Android 7 will be released officially on January, 28 2017
m.gsmarena.com/zuk_announces_android_70_nougat_update_plans_for_the_z2_pro_and_z1-news-22050.php
The Chinese character 內測 in the image means "test internally".
The 7.0 test internally was OTA today. Maybe the stable one will be released before Chinese new year (about five weeks later).
on print screen is missing dark theme... I hope they would include it..
For those who would like to update here is the link to the forum to try 2.5.335ST version.

looks almost the same after got updated to ZUI2.5...
does 7.0 on the update brings manual controls on the camera?

Yes, yes it does. This is also known as the ZUI 2.5 update, by the way.
Welcome to the party, however late.

I didn't have it before 2.5 was available, so I never tested it on the older builds. It's a decent camera, although you really want to be on stock ZUI to take advantage of it.
Realistically, if I had to choose again, I would probably save the money and get the regular Z2 instead; the custom ROM scene is much better, longer battery life, and no issues with the Z2 Pro camera's OIS getting physically stuck due to Camera2-based drivers not knowing how to deal with it properly. And no worrying about missing U-Health, since it doesn't have the finger sensor.
