8.0 Oreo B20 for A2017U is (actually!) finally here!! Officially! - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

https://community.zteusa.com/discus...rd-only-axon-7-a2017u-now-on-android-oreo-b20
I don't know how it will be like. We didn't get the chance to test a final build before release and there was a few battery issues with it. But with those who were waiting for it its finally here!! Backup your stuff and go update!

No daydream support is a deal breaker for me. Staying on stock Nougat then.
Thank you for the post, OP. I hope everyone who doesn't use Daydream will enjoy it.

That is incredibly stupid. It's like they didn't bother fixing the bigger more complex issues possibly that they're not competent enough to do so. Those issues being an encryption problem that occurred during beta testing where some beta testers that updated over OTA from nougat to Oreo were stuck at an "to start android, enter password (or pin)" and the only way out was to factory reset. If they didn't fix that, then they didn't fix the overheating and battery drain issues. Disappointed.

nice one, that's for USA. Any news on the 2017G?

Agreed, releasing an update that removes features. If we wanted a ROM that didn't function 100%, then we might as well stay on custom ROMs. Better off doing so in some cases.
Seems this is only for those who don't know how or don't want to learn how to install custom ROMs on their phone.
I know that's pretty obvious, it's just a shame.

Removal of daydream would be a good trade if it did something like help improve battery life and performance. Both of these were already good enough on stock nougat though. Battery was terrible in the oreo beta from what everyone reported

I installed it from SD. Had to go buy one though because I never used one ...anyway...tried installing using ADB and that will NOT work. Installed just fine from SD. This is only my backup phone so I did not set it up completely to mirror my daily driver, but it looks good. The default launcher is OK. I regularly use Nova Prime. Everything I tried worked great. I do not use Daydream or anything like that so no loss for me.

They seemed to have removed the really cool interactive photo feature from the camera and gallery app. That really sucks, it was really cool and I took some really cool shots with it at a concert back in March during the beta. Since that feature was removed those pictures aren't working anymore

In my opinion nougat and oreo are the most unexciting Google OS I know. It's nice to have, but half of the first year after release devs on XDA and even Google itself trying to bring back the performance or/and battery life the OS version before had.
Not to mention the problems with Magisk etc.

I suppose you're right. Neither Nougat or Oreo have brought significant changes, they have both been 'minor' updates with subtle changes to improve certain aspects of the OS. The last major update to Android was Lollipop, when the entire appearance was drastically overhauled from previous versions. I'm only excited because we just have to take what we're given, and any update to update the appearance and usability of Android after an entire year is a refreshing change! Even though Nougat was only a small update, it feels unbearable to me when switching back to Marshmallow without the new quick settings swipe-down; the one before the entire notification area appears. So even the small features can make a lot of difference to the overall experience! I'm still really looking forward to seeing the changes made in Oreo for myself when it comes to the Axon 7.

I don't get why people say this, honestly. Just because you didn't get a visual overhaul like you got from KitKat to Lollipop doesn't mean there weren't significant changes. Visually the OS is already at a level where there's no need for a major change (it has been "ready" since Lollipop, imo; Marshmallow, Nougat, and Oreo have all had small visual tweaks but have stuck to the Material language), and most of the tweaks work "under the hood." Oreo will bring Project Treble, which may just be the most significant change in Android in the last few years. It also brings improvements on the behavior of notifications and background services or apps. It's an incremental update, yes. But it's by no means a small update.
@Gases
We talked about excitement.
I mentioned the problems with the new OS updates, which brings maybe more security but also many problems to custom ROMs. Furthermore there are more problems in the first months. I don't need visual tweaks.
Project treble is mainly positive for stock ROMs. We will see, in which way custom ROMs can profit of this new feature.
Background battery eating apps are no problem on custom ROMs based on LOS, if you use the internal features or external apps. But again. It's nice to have already implemented.
Finally I am always thankful for all kind of ROMs and kernels devs provide to the community. And I was always someone who donated to say 'thank you'

I am not the dev but this is probably more a promotion thread. Final builds will surely be on developement thread.
Some devs are working on oreo right now.
Let's wait and be thankful for their work.
Here is a small update about the situation. Since the most common stuff is working im going to release this rom in 1-3 days. But don't expect to much. This rom is still WIP.
Working now:
RIL(Calls, Sms)
Audio
Most of the stuff (NFC etc.)
Broken:
Camera
Fingerprint
VoLTE (Will be probably broken until we get new blobs)

I was just looking over in the Nexus 6 forms and to overcome the camera issue for them they had to upgrade from 7.1.2 - 8.0 and then restart the phone. So there is hope especially since the Nexus 6 is a 32-bit phone and I'm pretty sure 8.0 was supposed to be 64-bit.

MiBox 3 got an update Sep 8th 18

Had anyone tested it yet? This is my only box at this time and I want to make sure it works properly before updating.
It looks like it makes things worse: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/build-2303-bug-feedback.46308/
I'm not inclined to install that. My MiBox 3's are working "ok," other than really crappy WiFi performance. (FTV v2 blows the MiBox 3 away in that respect.) So I'm not going to give Xiaomi another chance to break them any worse than they did with Oreo.

You can easily test different Oreo builds as long as you revert to build 2167 before you flash different Oreo builds.
There have been 4 private bugfix builds and 2 official OTA builds.
For your wifi issue, build 2179 will give satisfactory results

Note pie should be here soon

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Running it now, albeit the leaked beta for the note 8. With the polish that this build seems to have I would highly expect it within the first two months of 2019.
Overall, the UI is a huge change. But overall I seem to like it when paired with some of the android pie changes. It feels snappy and so far user friendly.
I am still a fan of the stock android (pie) ui but this is definitely my favorite OEM skin so far.
I hate the fact that the Snapdragons get betas and leaks, and then after the official streams kick in, Exynos is bombarded with releases and Snapdragons remain behind.

I agree, this build of Pie, and One UI feels very good. AR Emoji and Bixby Vision are broken, but I don't ever use those features so not a deal breaker. Adaptive Battery is included with this build, I'll be interested to see how battery life is affected by this feature. All in all a very nice change from Oreo.

I have a T-Mobile Note8 that already got CRK1 and installed this update last night; it was working totally fine, except for any 'Sunset to Sunrise' time settings, that would turn off every time you turned the screen off. It seriously is a good upgrade from the stock Oreo UI; much more clean, unified, and snappier.
But this morning, I woke up to my phone basically soft bricked. It just sat charging last night, and now it just randomly vibrates here and there, and the lock screen just doesn't show. I can make it do things with adb, and the camera will launch, but otherwise, its basically useless. I would skip this build.. I still haven't found a solution but to download CRK1 and downgrade back, which I'm waiting for the download to finish now. Reinstalling this beta and clearing the system cache didn't do anything.
I have a theory to why sd gets leaks more than exynos. Countries like usa brand the phone heavily and perhaps need to test it more and earlier to push out the update. That's also why they get the update last..
Just my 2 cents opinion

Just a quick update on this: the phone was actually working fine like that on the beta, it's just that my Good Lock's LockStar wasn't working; this happened again when I updated to DRL6, but I adb installed the new LockStar to get it to work again.

thanks, already installed it the way you mentioned.

RevOS is awesome!

There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.

For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

Anyone tried it ?
Whoopie doo.
One more reason for someone to screw up their P6.
I allways tried betas with my pixels ( 2xl , 4xl) but right now im affraid of it.
Google is doing some sh** job monthly with the 6 series
Installing now. Third day without WiFi is not an option.
Tell us something about it
I personally haven't had any problems so far! Wi-Fi and Data works perfectly for me... but I never had a problem with it, even with the December update.
Can you still opt out (without data loss) when 12L is released and installed ? I see conflicting info out there.
Beuller ?
I updated to 12l yesterday , couldnt resist .
Looks flawless.
No bugs found at the moment.
Wifi , bluetooth , mobile data , everything fine.

Same here. I did notice that my watch's bluetooth is disconnecting and reconnecting a few times now but I am not sure if that is something else. Otherwise I prefer 12L to 12. Feels faster and better somehow - hard to describe.
