Android 11 vs. Beta 5 - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Please help me. I have Android 11 -11.0.2.2 IN11AA. On the news feeds I see that there's an Android Beta 5 for the 8 series. I didn't know that the Beta was still happening after I had 3. Help me to understand the difference. Do I want to stay with 11.0.2.2 or go to the beta?
Thanks

I have tried both the beta is more usable and stable than the stable version.
In beta your getting the same updates faster (almost nothing is changed in stable compared to the beta)

I just installed the Beta 5. Right off the bat it's faster than stock 11. No complete wipe, I liked that. Not bugs yet but I'd expect some I guess. But so far so good
Thanks

Beta works a treat for me....

Hey Guys, I am new on OnePlus and have official firmware installed. What's the beta , is that the firmware on OnePlus site? Is that safe and better and more updated as the official?
See safe and better to install? And easy to go back to official?
This one right?

This seems to be a new build. It says that it was updated on Dec.29. I'm going to download it can compare it to to the beta 5 build.

But my question was more general. Please tell me if I can install beta builds like this without problems... And is it in general always better than the official???

First off, the build you show in your screenshot is in older build than beta 5. And you can flash beta builds without a problem.

Yo yo yo.....long press the file and click rename. Go to the end of the filename and make sure it doesn't say .jar at the end. If it does, delete that part and leave the .zip extension. Don't know why it does this sometimes, but it do. Then try installing again.
Edit: for misspelling

[Q] Android system software update

I just booted into Android and it said there was a software update. it downloaded, but of course won't install on my phone because it's running from the card and my phone turns off and boots back into windows whenever i hit 'install now'. does anybody know what the update is? it says it has new features and new performances so i'm dying to know what it is. did anyone else get this message recently?
I had the same thing happen to me on froyo sense, I just ignored it, it wont install.
yap,Me TOO ingored it
Errr why would you need them? We get the latest greatest Android builds right here on XDA. We're probably ahead of the game anyway with regard to features thanks to the awesome developers here!
it's 2.2.1 update OTA
Use your file manager to located the downloaded update file, open it on your desktop, extract the contents of the patch folder and put them into your current Android folder. Reboot and it should've updated.

What does the update do anyway? Will it mess up our system since it's a custom build?
Sorry if there's and alternate thread going on somewhere, I don't see the update working by simply adding the patch file contents to the root of the Android folder...or is it just me

...or a different scenario could be that some people are still using older builds, say Darkstones Froyo 2.1 build from 18th Aug, because they've had no probs and wondered if it was possible to update?
Poor Darkstone's a busy man judging from the work he's done lately...hate to keep pestering the guy for an update
Thanks anyway.

ICS Alpha 9 Build available for download

Hi guys,
I just noticed a youtube movie where he showed alpha build 9 of ICS!
He also provides a download link for that build in the description of the movie.
Mod edit: link removed

Thanks for informing us! Though I always slightly skeptical of this kind of links. Might brick our phone.

i just tried and it worked...got back to stock though...my way how i installed...
1. backup your system
2. wipe data/cache/dalvik
3. install latest cyanogen
4. wipe data/cache/dalvik
5. boot cyanogen
6. back to recovery
7. wipe data/cache/dalvik
8. install ics
9. wipe data/cache/dalvik
10. boot ics and have fun testing
what i can say is that ics is just awesome. when it all works fine i will use it as my daily rom. but too buggy now to use it.

Best ROM for the P7000

Stock vs CM vs Vibe
We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?
Those lucky enough to have received the phone, speak.

What's your deal? Taking so much bull**** that you need to spread it?
Right now I'm using MDS rom it's working good. Everything is working. Supersu is updated and xposed is too. I'm still having some visual problems but nothing to worry about... My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?
look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"

How did you get the Build 20150629? On the phone Wireless update it is Build 20150617 only?

A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

Just wait a week. Don't use the developer preview. It's a really bad build and not stable at all.
The open beta is said to be coming out by the end of this month. Meaning it will be dropping this week unless there's been some sort of last minute critical bug found (doubtful).
