I would not go so far and call it laggy. 8.1 running at bit slower end 8.0 and that’s that. Nothing to worry about.

[Nexus 5X General] theGeekyLad:
Right now on 8.1 December update, things seem to work fine through!
[Nexus 5X General] NoFatePPC:
my 7.1.2 is still prompting to install 8.0 first, not 8.1

is the OTA still not available?

thx
[Nexus 5X General] nowster:
The OTA path is to install 8.0 first, then 8.1.

I'm running:

Paranoid Android

my phone has an update notification for 8.1.0, should I just ignore it until paranoid android releases an oreo update?

Thanks guys
[Nexus 5X General] rotmistr:
Oh, it is laggy. And it seems to take its lagginess from some incorrect handling of some apps which continue to work in the background when it is not needed, so the system runs out of memory really quickly. Maybe it is because those apps are not updated for Oreo, but I have Oreo on some old and low end devices with no such problems
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
That's up to you lol cuz the 8.1 OTA will fail. You have to install the factory image or full OTA image if you want to bump up to 8.1 right now.
[Nexus 5X General] mozhno:
I installed the 8.1 image and it seems much quicker than the first developers preview. So far I have had no problems.
[Nexus 5X General] deusfaux:
And is it done the same way it was on Nougat? Flash latest su.zip with TWRP...

[Nexus 5X General] barteringram:
Will I be OK flashing this over a custom ROM? To be specific, Lineage?
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Probably not lol
[Nexus 5X General] attaullahsahito:
I don't think so, as download link is still not available at https://developers.google.com/android/images page and download link for opr6 has word 'preview' in link and build number does not follows stable release build number like 7.1.2 (N2G48C, Aug 2017)

http://storage.googleapis.com/andro...bullhead-opr6.170623.013-factory-203642e1.zip
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Definitely not a preview.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Also, Google started pushing Oreo to AOSP. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't do that with previews, only stable/final code.
[Nexus 5X General] kurogami95:
Can flash this with twrp ?
[Nexus 5X General] tranqme:
I'm pretty sure this is still a preview, read the top line in the T&C's window.
[Nexus 5X General] attaullahsahito:
My be I am wrong but when you open dialog box for opr6, it clearly mentions "Before downloading the system image for the Android O Developer Preview, you must agree to the following terms and conditions." image attached.
[Nexus 5X General] tranqme:
Read my comment above, it's literally pointing out the same info.
[Nexus 5X General] iKahn:
Hi guys,

When i turn on, do not disturb - show with volume control, there is a blank area below volume control. Anybody have this? I know this is not a place to report bug but I just wanted to see if only I feel it like an issue.

Thanks for reading my post :D
[Nexus 5X General] blackroseMD1:
It is absolutely the final, stable version of Android Oreo. Google even announced it today.

Android 8.0 Oreo system images are live for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel C, and Nexus Player

https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/
[Nexus 5X General] tranqme:
Just because they announced the release of version 8, doesn't mean that the images available on the developer site are the stable factory images.

It's currently only available via an OTA update, I could be wrong though, but let's not jump the gun too early.
[Nexus 5X General] blackroseMD1:
Considering I flashed the system image and got 8.0.0 with the August patch level (DP4 was July patch level), I'm fairly sure it is the stable factory images. I guess we'll find out.
[Nexus 5X General] tranqme:
First you were absolutely sure, now you're only fairly sure?

I'm going to wait for it to appear on the factory images site before clean flashing it.
[Nexus 5X General] denraisr:
Im not sure how should I install Oreo. Im curently on Nougat 7.1.2 N2G47W rooted . how do I install it manually or can I use flashfire?

[Nexus 5X General] :
After the update phone says 'Charging' instead of "rapidly charging'. Anyone else?
[Nexus 5X General] Adooda:

[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
Yes, but I can't get busy box to work (SuperSu) so some root apps are worthless right now.
[Nexus 5X General] tauio111:
It will trigger a data wipe if it fails to boot a few times. If it succeeds fine at booting it will not wipe anything.

Why are the icons so ugly. Square ugly icons.
[Nexus 5X General] jdhelman:
Why the icons are not circle??? I'm using Lawnchair launcher (tongue twister :D) and the icons are ugly squares and they dont get circle like in Nougat... Any ideas?
[Nexus 5X General] Sigray:
You can change it via Lawnchair settings.
[Nexus 5X General] jdhelman:
It doesn't change :(
[Nexus 5X General] gmp009:

[Nexus 5X General] MatteXperiaU:

[Nexus 5X General] Sinistersky:
Android Oreo seems like an empty update really. Anyone notice anything better than Nougat? And ye i know, picture in picture, but it eats a lot of battery though
[Nexus 5X General] kurogami95:
Not really. I tried to flash it through twrp, showed "invalid zip format" so I checked Google and bam! Done. Through ADB.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Battery is the same as nougat for me, settings and quicksettings are the biggest noticable changes.

App fill is good too if you use it.

Not used PiP yet.

Otherwise its all architecture and under the hood stuff.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
Not for you, but that's how I did it. I fastboot flashed TWRP then Installed SuperSu 2.82hSR3 which I had put in phone storage.

Except for BusyBox, no issues with any root access.
[Nexus 5X General] kurogami95:
I don't want root ?

Has anyone on 7.1.2 got the OTA? I'm still waiting.
[Nexus 5X General] Atok_fr:
There'is only beta OTA for now.

The official OTA from 7.1 to 8.0 will probably be pushed in few days, maybe next week.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
I apologize for the wrong info. I guess I was thinking root not the os. I don't know why. Now, I know why. The post followed the one about rooting. However, TWRP will permit image flashing. The images must before extracted from the zip download, I believe. I've never used it for that as fastboot flashing images works while the flash all.bat doesn't seem to work for me. Someone asked about using FlashFire which should work. I use it when rooted.
[Nexus 5X General] zagorteney:
In order to save your data, you must remove -w in flash-all batch file before flashing it.
[Nexus 5X General] Bingley:
I wiped and flashed the dev images and it was slow as hell. Restored my 7.1.2 backup and got the ota and it's much better. Odd!
[Nexus 5X General] Yosip0124:

Has anyone used Picture-in-Picture mode on YouTube?It doesn't work by default.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
Since I'd read it only worked on YouTube red (which probably isn't accurate?), I tried it on video in Chrome as well as VLC which is absolutely supposed to be compatible, and no pip. I'm definitely missing something here. Went back and re-flashed system and recovery for 100% stock.No preview (betas) hacks either-at least not through system tuner.
[Nexus 5X General] Billys20:
The only way I can use PiP is by installing this app from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=el and granting it a permission with adb using my pc.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
So it seems that it is not a feature for the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] Irochk:
This is not working, unless you give us a brief explanation on how you made it work...
[Nexus 5X General] MaxDim:
PiP works for lots of videos in Chrome, except youtube videos. As someone mentioned, PiP for youtube works only on RED. To use PiP the video should be in fullscreen and then press the home button. But not many apps seem to support PiP, at least on our device.
[Nexus 5X General] purpse:
PIP in VLC definitely works. Open video, click 3 dots, click PIP (bottom left on mine)
[Nexus 5X General] Irochk:
Thank you guys, it works with daily motion but not with YouTube as you said
[Nexus 5X General] gmp009:
Guys anyone can tell me how to activate picture in picture mode as there is no such option in system ui tuner for nexus 5x
[Nexus 5X General] MaxDim:

Different icons shape

Hello guys,

I've encountered a weird issue after upgrading to Android Oreo. I've updated through Beta Program (I was on 7.1.2 stock and I've unenrolled right after the update). The icons shape are different. Some of them are square, some are with the old shape (please find attached the screenshots). Mind that I'm using Google Now Launcher but I've seen videos and screenshot from this thread where people actually have all square icons. The funny thing is that in the app settings the icons are all square. How could I solve this issure? Does anyone encountered as well?

EDIT: I've found the reason, it depends if the app has been updated or not after the system update. I've tried to unistall the updates and reinstall and the shape changed.
[Nexus 5X General] questionquince:
It's the final release actually. Even though the build number format is bit different.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/08/22/google-changed-build-number-format-oreo-heres-read/
[Nexus 5X General] stifmaster81:
Does this mean that the compilation we are using is not the final version of Oreo?opr6 ?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5X mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] PlugaruT:
have you got the update through Beta or right from the 7.1.2 ?
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
Thank you. I was having trouble (clicked 3 dots but didn't recognize the icon) and knew I was missing something. Everything I'd read said to use Home button. Still haven't figured it out from Chrome or Play Movies both of which are supposed to work. Home button doesn't work.
[Nexus 5X General] tranqme:
Again, this hasn't been confirmed yet.
[Nexus 5X General] fdgd1998:
This is the final version. People in Beta Program has received an OTA like this (like me). Also, the final images aren't posted because they are under carrier testing. But these are final system images.

And it is not saiyng you are in the beta program :)

I hope we would get as the lastest update Android 8.0.1 that has been spotted online and would arrive in september-october with the new Pixel devices, because google doesn't ensure guarateed updates after september... So it is possible to receive the update i think.
[Nexus 5X General] questionquince:
It's the final version. OPR6 = Android O, Primary, Release 6

I flashed the system image manually via fastboot command. I was on 7.1.2 August patch version.

[Nexus 5X General] KSLevel11:
Could someone tell me, is there a Night Mode in the official Android O release?
[Nexus 5X General] fdgd1998:
Night mode is a Pixel feature. So we haven't night mode in our nexus.

You will still receive OTA updates
[Nexus 5X General] MadsBen:

[Nexus 5X General] TooYellow:
Has anyone else been getting the ERROR! screen when trying to update to the final release from DP4? They supposedly fixed the issue but I'm unable to successfully install the OTA :-\
[Nexus 5X General] Nicktheprofessor:
Until you can find it at here it's not released for non-beta testers.
[Nexus 5X General] azertguigui:
Actually I updated my N5X from 7.1.2 to 8.0.0 with fastboot without losing my data. Just follow the ninth point of the master guide of Nexus 5X flashing and rooting.

Nevertheless it's always recommande to make a full wipe and install on major Android releases (Android O is one of those)
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
So, thoughts on Oreo so far?

For me, it's been.... A mixed bag. Smooth in some places, janky AF in others. Most apps aren't updated for it yet, so they act funny (for instance Instagram's stories messes up, Messages constantly FCs, Lawnchair doesn't work, etc.)

I'm thinking about going back to 7.1.2 for the time being, at least until 8.0.1 or whatever comes out and they fix a lot of the launch issues. It's okay for what it is, but 7.1.2 is so much better at this point in time, and more stable as well.
[Nexus 5X General] nowster:
Yes, works fine.

Installed Oreo over Nougat with fast boot commands. All data remaining on device but I want a clean install to get rid of anything Nougat related.

How do I factory reset my 5x and then install Oreo?
[Nexus 5X General] donjamal:
just download the full image from google, boot into bootloader, start the "flash all.bat" - it'll wipe your phone clear during the process. make a backup beforehand. then put supersu on sdcard, flash twrp, reboot into recovery, flash supersu, you're done and rooted.

instructions for flashing are here from google itself: https://developers.google.com/android/images#instructions
[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
Thanks, I've never used that file. Always done manually.
[Nexus 5X General] sblantipodi:
I have installed the ota from the developer program opr6.170623.013, I see pretty no new feature on my phone.

No pip, no way to change the icon shape, no improved menu on long press on icons, no notification badge on icons, no way to add an additional left or right button, no way to customize the unlock side button.

I don't think that this can be the final update, or I hope that this is not the final one since there is pretty no new features apart from the upgraded version and the new Easter egg

Dear all I am unable to install busybox. any help...
[Nexus 5X General] Xeust:
PiP is there you can use it but is limited to certain conditions. The other features you mentioned are all pixel exclusive and the only way to get them is by using pixel launcher or the likes of it. The features are supported only on android oreo regardless of the device so yes you can use them if you get the right launcher.

Not so sure about the navbar tuner though

[Nexus 5X General] aeroflyluby:

[Nexus 5X General] Yaznas:
NO! Just flash the system image on your 5x.

I used this tutorial to do so. https://goo.gl/xEDHfF
[Nexus 5X General] R0g@t:
I just experienced a host of forced closes and sluggish performance. Felt like a development version. Maybe it's just me.
[Nexus 5X General] Atok_fr:
Mmhm that's interresting, did you updated via OTA or just flashed a new factory image ? I did the last one and indeed, during the few first hours of use, the phone was pretty laggy. But after 2-3 hours, it became completly lag-free, way more fluid than on Nougat (which was already butter smooth). It's something knew and already described on this forum.

But interrestingly I have zero FC since I installed it...
[Nexus 5X General] R0g@t:
I flashed the image. I will wait for the OTA. But I still think it's ugly. Just my opinion.

[Nexus 5X General] Billys20:
If you install Pixel Launcher you can change the icons.The rom runs pretty good but still no Icon Badge Notification and PiP. Also for a weird reason when I opted out of beta program(signed in to get the update earlier) no update showed up and I'm still in Android O.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
If you were on the final O release then you are running the live version so there is no reason you wouldn't still be on O. The beta only rolls you back if you were on beta software when you stop being part of the beta.

Yes, i´ve the labels, too. Manage labels is there, but no option to select the sound - different for each label. Tested with latest gmail app - yep.

Try to test again, please. Select manage labels - choose a label - you can activate label notification - but without sound. This option is not available.

Sorry mate, i cannot find this option :(

I´m on the label, there is "sync messages, label notifications and notify for every message"

But there is no option to set different ringtones for each label!

The option "notify for every message" is the standard gmail sound.

I´m using gmail version: 7.8.13.166374524.release

Do you´ve screenshots with the options ?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...24c55c8d390e4ded13b86befa2b07c251aee9c2ed6628

This seems to be a android oreo factory image but to me it seems fake because they would release oreo to the pixel first not the 5x and also if you go here https://developers.google.com/android/images google has not released any android oreo factory image for any devices on that website

THIS SEEMS VERY FISSHY DOWNLOAD WITH CAUTION!!!!!!!
[Nexus 5X General] Nicktheprofessor:
Looks like a reupload of the Google release from the link in the OP. I don't know why you wouldn't just download it from Google instead.

It IS a release but not a public one yet, there is still operator testing before the public release.
