So, Google realise Android Go (Oreo 8.1) for cheap devices.

Maybe [MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] can try run it on Nexus 7, if sources will be availiable

And any kernel for Oreo DEB availiable now ? Because my deb works slow, I think need some tuning in kernel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] McMacaron:
I had the same issue. I have downoaded from opengapps ARM-8.0-nano (mini in not possible to flash) and only google hangout and google player is causing issue. So I have disabled them in settings-app and since than no issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] rajsris:
Excited for Android 8.1 on flo! I just side loaded it on my pixel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Me too :)

As it's still officially supported I always start with dragon device (Pixel C) .. AOSP 8.1 is just compiling.

Flo/Deb devices will come soon .. quite some changes again - new API level 27 .. etc.

You can not just merge the new sources .. all this takes time.

Just checked opengapps .. and they are NOT ready for 8.1 yet.

Of course not the official packages .. want to make unofficial first.

But if you want to build unofficial gapps you need to change code to make it working now.

I guess opengapps team will fix it soon.

The next issue is smali/baksmali .. tool which is used to deodex/odex apks.

Current version works fine on Android 8.0 .. but seems to have problems on 8.1 now.

You see .. all takes time until the stuff is working properly. :p

We are coming closer ..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Here were go ..

Android 8.1 .. and still BETA :)

AOSP_8.1.0_r1_OPM1.171019.011_flo-ota-eng.followmsi_BETA-10.zip

AOSP_8.1.0_r1_OPM1.171019.011_deb-ota-eng.followmsi_BETA-10.zip

Changes:

- Based on Android 8.1 -> android-8.1.0_r1

NFC: on/off toggle still buggy

Camera: Still HAL1 camera .. no changes here - no tested yet.

RILD (deb only):

- Used branch "staging/linage-15.1" to be alligin with 8.1 sources.

Pls report if data connection is broken again . if yes, I will make a new deb build and try to use 15.0 caf branch again.

New kernel -> 2017-12-07

- Fresh kernel (few security fixes only)

Opengapps:

Made 2 fresh packages for ARM architecture...

open_gapps-arm-8.1-stock-20171208-UNOFFICIAL.zip

open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20171208-UNOFFICIAL.zip

Sources:

https://github.com/followmsi/manifests/tree/flo-deb-aosp-o

https://github.com/followmsi/android_kernel_google_msm/tree/followmsi-oreo_2017-12-07

Some comments ..

- While testing I had problems to restore backups with TWRP-3.2.0 .. switched back to 3.1.1 and restore was working again.

- The new ROM is using brotli compression (system.new.dat.br) .. this way the ROM itself is smaller.

- But in Oreo 8.1 the system partition has less space left !

- You will need to adjust the config file to use Opengapps stock package. (working example config file: .gapps-config-flo-o81 )

Enjoy :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] :
[MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] great work as always :) might not really be related but I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on Android Go, just curious what do you think about it and if it could have any impact on custom roms.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] EnderVAD:
Can I use Aroma package from OpenGapps? That is, will it work?

UPD: Never mind, there's no official 8.1 package, and 8.0 doesn't work with 8.1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] sam298:
Can I dirty flash from 8? Do I have to flash gapps still?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] EnderVAD:
Fails to install your version of OpenGapps. It says that package is for 8.1.x only and asks to download 6.0.1 ROM
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Have read about .. but not more infos until now.

As I understood there are the apps which are optimized and certain optimizations for the operating system.

If there are some good tweaks for the OS I am happy to implement in the future.

No .. for fresh install of opengapps you will need API 27 package .. for Oreo 8.1

As it's Friday I have made an Aroma package as well .. :)

Not sure about TWRP issues with aroma installer, but on flo this should work fine ..

open_gapps-arm-8.1-aroma-20171208-UNOFFICIAL.zip

Yes .. running my old data partition again .. after some TWRP restore issues with 3.2.0.

Well .. the first boot took quite some time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Pls see above .. just try the Aroma package via TWRP.

I did test the both other packages myself .. pico and stock with config file to fit into system partition.

Working fine .. I did not test Aroma installer.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] EnderVAD:
Yeah, on the second time your package worked. I should've wiped system partition.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] RazGame:
Try dirty flash from 8.0 to 8.1

Flash rom + pico gapps + magisk 14.5 and have bootloop now, I think

[MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] now I flash 8.1 with full wipe, LTE works for me

Try flash magisk, it flashed, but I see in log "stock root installed"

Yep, magisk don't work

Bug. Wifi sometimes dorp connection. After some seconds it reconnects.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Good to know .. data is working fine.

Fresh install of magisk complains always about "stock root" .. no worries still works fine.

I am running 14.5 without issues.

I have installed pixel launcher and a few other apk as system app via opengapps config file.

To bypass some dirty installation issues.

But there is no general solution .. each /data partition looks different.

The problem now is the space left on system partition .. much less as with 8.0.

Enjoy your weekend ..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] :
[MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] do you need anything for spoofing to work? We could patch for it by ourselves in 8.0 but patchers don't work on 8.1 yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] brewer75:
I did a dirty install of 8.1 with no problems except I had to use the 8.1 pico gapps because when I changed the Opengapps config file to ".gapps-config-flo-o81" per the OP, I got the error message that there wasn't enough room. Maybe I missed something, but never the less, everything seems to be running smoothly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] logitechor:
Now on Deb with data. Awesome.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Did you rename ".gapps-config-flo-o81" to either ".gapps-config" (generic) or ".gapps-config-flo" ( flo specific) ?

Just upgraded to Beta 10. Everything seems to be running smooth, but I have one minor issue.

Just curious if anyone is using Pixel Launcher as their home app. I've been previously using the original Pixel Launcher, (installed thru TWRP) and the new Pixel 2 Launcher (installed as an .apk), and neither is giving me Google Now integration, while previously on Beta 9, it did. In the new Pixel 2 launcher, the option to have swipe left is enabled, but the entire line is grayed out. Further, the Google search field on the home page is shown, but pressing on it does nothing--it too almost looks grayed out. On the older Pixel Launcher with all previous builds, up to Beta 9, there was never an option to set up swipe left--it just worked. Any ideas? should I use a different launcher? I really like swiping left to get my notifications, news, emails, etc...

thanks much!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
I did use pixel launcher from opengapps stock package . Installed as system app.

You may try to install all launcher related stuff as system app .. via opengapps.

I did wipe data too .. to test clean install - no problems on flo.

Pls take sim card out for Updatewizard.

Got report for 9.1 already that setupwizard on Deb is only working if sim card has been taken out.

Pls take sim card out for Updatewizard process only.

On flo there are no issues, at least for my test installation.

Maybe I can solve this inside ROM for next release.

As I can't test Deb device I rely on you .. would need logs of the failing setupwizard.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jaibar:
Clean installation of 8.1 beta10 didn't work for me: both pico and stock+config file had google services crash (and I didn't download a copy from apkmirror beforehand) so I couldn't login and/or pass setup wizard without crashing, nor flash ROM only.

Eventually restored Beta9.1, dirty flashed ROM 8.1 + pico gapps 8.1 + Magisk 14.5 and everything seems to work just fine like that. I don't like dirty flashing, but hey- if it works, it works ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] gege622:
Same problem on my Flo.

But, after the System, SuperSu and a full wipe, i installed The Stock Gapps with a .gapps-config-flo-o81 renamed in .gapps-config.

It worked perfectly.

And, finaly, what a Beta !!!!!!

I can't imagine the work you had to produce but, for me, it's a very nice christmas present you gave us.

Thanks a lot followmsi.

Thanks for the awesome ROM and your hard work [MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] :good: :) Beta 10 works nice and stable here!

I have one question: Is it necessary or recommended to flash the kernel separately (the kernel zip in Google Drive) or is the same kernel already included in the ROM file?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
No same kernel is already included .. but if you play with other kernels there is always a way back .. or use boot.img to wipe magisk/supersu.

I am still getting lots of issues with gapps installation. I went in and edited .gapps-config-flo to include only: search Hotword ExchangeGoogle Chrome PixelLauncher Wallpapers

In initial setup, it is able to connect to my Wifi network, but fails after that with "Play services has crashed". Is there other apps required in gapps-config?

EDIT: I finally got it to work all the way, but it required full wipe (including internal storage). Something in my sdcard folder must have interrupted the gapps setup process. Working great now!

I'm not sure if pixel launcher can open the app drawer in landscape mode on a tablet? Am I touching the wrong points? It does work fine on my pixel phone
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] js89:
That's due to the (old) version of pixel launcher included in opengapps. Can be solved by installing a newer version from apkmirror.

Not good ..

Will check what AOSP has been included from 8.0 to 8.1.

Maybe we can skip a few package inside system to increase free space.

I did test on older gapps version .. it was also very close to the limit but it did work.

Just 2228 are missing in this case.

I was at first on official 6.0.1. After that I dirty flashed several AOSP 7.0 and 7.1 by OP - every time it worked.

And it works overall great except known bugs with not working camera, etc. As a little bonus I was able to save certified status in Google Play Store. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] drewski_1:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mad4some:
FYI.....no need to have these gapps issues. It's stated in OP that script was adjusted to make gapps survivable on dirty flash, so that's what I did, beta 10 on top of beta 9.1 (flo) no wipe...... and then just reflashed SuperSU and absolutely no issues what so ever. Thanks again OP for the lovely 8.1 build!! Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jerethi:
Am experiencing an odd issue when doing a clean install. After starting up, I select the option to restore apps and data from a previous backup. All seems to go well, except instead of actually installing the apps, the setup wizard just takes me back to the device selection screen to choose which device to restore from again. It just keeps looping and looping from there. I am using the unofficial gapps 8.1 pico package that OP linked too.

This feels like a gapps issue to me - has anyone else experience this? How did you manage to fix it? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] nilshg:
I'm getting pretty disappointing battery life with this ROM. I'm only using the device for 5-10 minutes a week, so virtually all battery consumption happens in "tablet idle" mode (sometimes even with Wi-Fi turned off). On my old ROM (think it was PureNexus), I got easily over a week of batterly life, and up to 3 weeks with Wi-Fi turned off. On this one it's more like 2 days with Wi-Fi, 4-5 days without - any ideas what could cause this? Some older posts in this thread talk about disabling NFC, but if I understand correctly that was an issue with an older version of this ROM?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] flex1911:
This issue is relevant even now on every Oreo-based ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Made new gapps package 3 days ago .. maybe it's solved now.

Will need logs for further troubleshooting .. not sure if this should be fixed inside ROM or gapps.

Like mentioned above .. yes, NFC is still an issue.

Pls disable via settings or via console .. "svc nfc disable".

This helps normally .. I get about 10 days idle battery life.

For next release NFC will be taken out completely.

On Nougat the battery life was better.. especially deep sleep.

Maybe this can be improved over the time.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
The difference is little .. if applicable at all.

To allign kernel with Oreo requirements "earlysuspend" (touchscreen) has been replaced with framebuffer notifier.

This was done a few weeks ago, like many other changes too.

As well there was an issue with frame rate in Oreo 8.1 .. dropping down to 1 frame per second only.

Like battery life I hope this can be improved in the next time ..

Flo kernel is still version 3.4 .. normally Oreo will require at least 3.18 version .. step by step the gaps have been closed by [MENTION=5120185]flex1911[/MENTION]

Big thanks for his ongoing work to improve flo/deb devices for Oreo and the time beyond !

Do you have developer options activated?

As well the system is still running in "permissive" mode.

Thanks for all your findings in the last days .. will try to solve them.

All the "small" issues are the reason why the January release will be called "BETA" again ;)

EDIT:

Made a quick check for the built-in root .. and indeed .. "xbin/su" will be compiled each time.

It's part of AOSP .. we make "userdebug" builds .. and the "debug" tag seems to trigger the build.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/extras/+/android-8.1.0_r1/su/Android.mk#11

For next release I will remove the AOSP "su" completely.

For the swiping issue, it's extremely noticeable for me. I can't even use the swipe typing on the keyboard anymore.

This could also be why Netflix still gives 5.2 error? Safety net passes, MagiskHide is enabled for Netflix, and all relevant DRM blobs are included in the rom.

Touchscreen on flo was always an "issue" for discussions :)

But I can not agree .. for me it the touchscreen behaviour has not changed "extremely".

As said above .. maybe a little bit if at all.

Running Oreo since a while .. I remember touchscreen issues/discussions since Marshmallow.

Anyway .. it's on the "problem list" now .. maybe we can improve at some point.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] OSully:
I had no issues on previous builds, only started with 10.

No .. as the Magisk.zip installer is checking for existing "su" binaries and removing them.

On 4.8.5 you can stream without 5.2 error message - but not download option. (tested myself some time ago)

EDIT:

On latest Playstore version I can download certain movies and watch them.

For other downloaded movies I get 102.2.7 error message and can't play them.

On all my other Android devices I don't have this issue.

Magisk is doing his job and streaming works fine ..

It's also on the "problem list" .. and still no idea how to solve it :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Interessting .. the relevant kernel change was back in October/November .. BETA 8 or 9.

You should have relaized this earlier .. if applicable.

Did you test BETA 10 with factory reset as well ?

No big changes except for Android 8.1 - API 27 - as base system.

And no .. I can not feel any differences in compare to last Android 8.0 - API26 - based ROM.

Still use my old dirty data partition .. and did maybe 50 restores in the last months .. etc.

We will monitor the issue .. it's on the "list".

If you go back to latest BETA 9.1(flo) / 9.2(deb) you don't have the issue ?

It does ..but only after a few seconds of sleep.

Yeah .. sound strange.

Just delete and recreate your hidden wifi connection in Oreo and reboot .. don't unlock screen immediately, wait a few seconds.

After few seconds unlock screen and wifi connection should be up and running.

For me this is working .. my flo is connecting to hidden wifi since beta 1 !

This issue occurs on other devices too, even on stock google ROM.

Only since Oreo ..
