What is wrong with android oreo? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Android oreo has been released a few months ago but custom roms have just begun to appear and most of them are far from stable.
Also open gapps are still beta on oreo.
Why is that? Is there something new about oreo that needs special "treatment"?

[Q] ETA for Android 9 Pie based LOS and other custom ROMs

Firstly i do not ask for ETA nor forcing anyone to do it so. Asking how much time it would take (estimately) to get some LOS 16, RR 7.x.x etc. on our R5+. I'm certainly not in a rush to get it just wondering.
Also whats your opinion about Android Pie? Is it really worth upgrade from Oreo? Or it's just Oreo with some more UI/system fixes?
Source code isn't been released yet, wait and watch or maybe use GSI for Android Pie, i am using it and its awesome but its all about taste.

Lg g5 h850 pie custom rom

Hello everyone
Anyone intending to release Pie ROM on h850? :good:
I think we're a way far from seeing a Pie ROM, considering that even major Oreo ROMs for the G5 like LineageOS are still buggy.
oreo still hasnt gotten a full rollout and theres no oreo nightlys yet so highly doubtful
There is no xposed for Pie yet so I wouldn't flash Pie yet anyway.

how many builds of Android Pie are out for the OPX?

How many builds of pir are there? can't any of them be installed permanently or are they all still alpha that will need reinstalled after official launch? i want to upgrade from the original OPX android to to pie for daily use. i also want magisks if that's not all supper outdated now too.
LOS 16 is really stable IMO and the dev announced it xill be the one supported in top priority.
There is no evidence that there will be "official" custom Rom on pie for OPX.
so the custom pie roms will not get updates from google?

?? I don't understand your question.
Google doesn't do anything about custom roms.
There is just one dev that worked on some custom roms on Pie (Pixel experience, AOSP and LOS). He just tond that he will put the priority on the LOS one. Note that it's marked as LOS 16 unofficial as he builds it itself, not in the LOS offcial roaster.
Onyx won't even be in the 15.1 roaster as it has just been ejected from official 14.1 roaster.

when Debian gets updates so does ubuntu and kubuntu and lubuntu and xubuntu. custom rom or not it IS still google android pie, so when vulnerability is found a update is pushed out for pie and all pie devices get said fix. unless phones don't work this way which would suck and mean it's un secure the custom rom dev gets boared or no longer has time.

You are confused, android builds are device specific, every patch needs to be integrated and compiled by the developer or mantainer of the rom you're using and can't be used in any other phone. Google releasses a new version of android and it's up to developers to create drivers and kernel "stuff" that allows the software to funcion in the device.

AH-HA!!!! This makes sense!

port MIUI 10 (9.0) to Redmi 5 Plus

someone can port that? it could be good see R5+ with Miui 10 Pie ROM.
And why would you need it? Just to have Pie easter egg and 9.0 displayed when you enter "About phone"? MIUI is heavily modified framework, and as long as there is no official 9.0 update from Xiaomi (which imo is not going to happen, looking at the past few months of suspended global beta) there is no need for additional work that would bring new bugs and problems on top of the existing ones. Pie MIUI is basically the same as on Oreo anyway.
But, if you just need to flash your "About phone" tab to friends and others with 9.0, go to build.prop and change some things...
tl,dr: not worth the hassle
For the same reason that a personal create a custom rom aosp pie... To add another possibility and keep the update process alive for the R5+.

That's the point - you need open source code (AOSP - Android Open Source Project). All these ROMs came because Xiaomi released kernel code for Vince, and some nice devs got their hands around it. MIUI is very much not open source. This device might get semi-stable Android Q or whatever comes after Pie, but don't expect anything fancy. In Xiaomi ecosystem, this device has probably EOL tag already. Enjoy what you already have, there is sooo much to choose from.

A decent Pie ROM for mido

Currently I am on DoTOS_2.5 (oreo)which is quite stable. Despite the release of Android Pie, I can't find any decent ROM without any bugs in end of the discussion. Most ROMs I've tried have bugs this and that. I've tried DoTOS_3.0, HavocOS_latest.
So, if you've got a decent pie rom, do share here. ::angel:

They all have bugs. MIUI, Custom ROM Oreo & Pie. It just depends on which bugs you can live with.
I flashed the latest official AOSiP Pie ROM a couple of days ago and I'm happy with it:

I like Havoc.
Try superior os.
I used pixel experience aosp 9th may update and resurrection remix latest version they both ran fine without any noticeable bugs.
If you a little bit more smoother rom then try pixel experience april update rom 20190403, this is the best pixel experience rom the one I personally use till date but it has a bug ie., screen pinning doesn't work, rest all runs fine.
So much Pie roms stable now. try check aryan kedare's updates
