So quick update on what's on. New update will follow tonight or tomorrow. The restart issue is resolved (hopefully) with new shiny barebone upstreamed kernel which includes Oct security update by Google.... Running for few hours - rock solid. Plus, crdroid OTA will be back and some new features I have been reading in this topic. Cheers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Hi all,

New build Beta 4 is up. Most things are smoothened up now. crDroid OTA is in place. No more killer lag that makes system completely unusable. The kernel has been reset to stock and then upstreamed with required patches for Oreo and improvements from Motorola - this is barebone kernel and this resolved sudden reboot (for me, at least).

Beta 4 Release Notes:

shamu: New barebone upstreamed kernel including Oct security patches.

shamu: Updated camera build stack

shamu: New blobs from N6F27M factory image

Added crDroid OTA support - You will receive notification when new build is up.

New tiles: Caffeine, ADB, Screenshot, Ambient notifications, PIP, Sound, Volume panel, Sync, Reboot/Recovery, Compass, USB tether, IME, Language, Music

Improved tiles: Flashlight, USB

Navbar: Added toggle for double tap to sleep

Lockscreen: Added toggle for double tap to sleep

Misc bug fixes

Clean flash recommended, this is Beta version. Cheers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
BT deep sleep is solved?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
It was resolved Beta 2 onwards.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
If you want to see the fixes and improvements CLEAN FLASH. Don't dirty flash then come here saying blah blah blah reboots or bug this... CLEAN FLASH is clicking Advanced Reboot in TWRP and then selecting System, Data, Cache, and Davlik Cache then swipe to Wipe... Then Flashing Rom, Gapps, root method.

Good Luck.

And please don't report bugs without CLEAN FLASHING and posting logs. There's no point in complaining without offering proof (logs) and providing detailed flashing method and files flashed to help development.

[MENTION=3795148]neobuddy89[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for all you have done for Shamu and the Android Community as a whole.

Most appreciate it even if some don't act or type like they do sometimes!

Keep up the amazing work your doing. Shamu Oreo would be unusable without your fixes and dedication friend!

Edit: I just want to say that at this stage in development things change drastically from one build to the next. If your dirty flashing your not getting the full effect of a new build and may have remnants of past crap still. So the best thing you can do is clean flash to start with each new build and then you will know any issues are really from the newest build and not from something old.

Around XDA you see this more and more of people complaining and stating problems but not actually giving any real info or logs to help fix it.

If this will continue you will drive all the good developers away and our device will be left with no one who knows what they are doing and thus giving us hacky unstable crap to run.

Please help the developers to help you and learn the very simple process of gathering logs and posting them!

Sorry Neobuddy don't mean to hijack just something that is really getting bad here on xda ... Hope you understand I'm trying to help.

Thanks developers !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lcchan1:
Beta 4 is GREAT. Running for 30 minutes now, everything so far is Great. No reboot or freeze. Clean flash but use SuperSu instead. Good job.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
[MENTION=3795148]neobuddy89[/MENTION] the security patches are from August 5th?

And the device is BlueBorn vulnerable
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
ROM Android release version is same as that of LOS - since this is LOS based ROM (to support wider range of devices)

Kernel security patches are included till Oct 2017.

It seems to address blueborne, security update is required in both - ROM and kernel. I will check what are required patches to address above, will add separately.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Youngunn2008:
Installed Beta 4, supplied GApps and Magisk 14 on a complete wipe, setup as new and didn't restore any backed up data or apps. Running very smooth right now. Only had one issue where Google Phone wouldn't open and crashed immediately. Ran a log and found it was because it wasn't seeing permissions. Went into it's app info and manually gave it permissions and it's workly perfectly. Had one system crash and reboot while using Chrome Beta and clicking on a hotlink but cannot reproduce.

Great job guys
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Youngunn2008:
I know it's probably not a huge priority but Netflix crashes, both the older APK I had to skip checking root and the one from the play store with Magisk hiding root. Catlog attached.

After a day use, I found memory gets quickly used up in Oreo. Need to improve this. Nexus6P and Nexus5X have zRam and Adaptive LMK to help managing memory - will check if this works for us.

Wifi still doesn't connect automatically when phone boots up after shutting down, have to turn it on manually, other than that the Rom is pretty smooth
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
I think the wifi auto connect is somehow linked in kernel and something removed it recently... Neobuddy would know better than anyone tho.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maxbaron:
Hello,

I think there is still some problems related to BT. When the phone is in Deep Sleep disconnects any BT devices.

I'm using with both a smartwatch and a headset and the behaviour is the same!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
guess i am the odd man out here, loaded clean, wiped manually all partitions except internal sd, first time through it took a good 30 seconds to find sim card and after that everything ran really really slow during setup and after. Wiped everything again and reloaded not even using magisk this time and got a system ui fc before i could even hit the lets go button for setup. Bypassing the error rom still runs extremely slow for me and when I say slow I mean it was completely unusable it was that slow. Will keep an eye on this thread and may try again if I can figure out what the issue is.

Hi, I flashed this build successfully with nanomod+patcher. I just wanted to see if it was possible to run on microg. Seems smooth and stable with no random reboots. But I'm having problems with contacts app. Initially I'm able to open it, but on import from vcf file it force closes. And after that it just FCs whenever I try to open it. Had to export and then import contacts from my carrier account. Same thing happened on the first beta. Wiping data and of course giving the proper permissions for contacts doesn't work.

I love this ROM. Keep up the good work!

Okay Google

First off thanks for your continued development for shamu, and I have to mentioned that I have a working "Ok google" on first boot, set up without any hitches during install - a rare occurance for me even with some nougat roms. Props to gapps packagers/maintainers as well of course. Nice to try crdroid again .. last used on mako.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bdadd34:
Wanted to report for others..I accidentally enabled lock screen security at boot during the initial setup and suffered many random reboots. Then I wiped everything but internal storage reinstalled and chose no security at boot and not a single random reboot in over 12 hours.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
One more please for voice driver and video driver crash. (which I believe userspace is responsible) Please flash attached file.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hameedf:
I enabled that thing at boot but i don't know if this is the problem I am now on another rom where can I disable it and try ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dipstik:
u guys try setting bluetooth share to not optimize in battery settings?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bdadd34:
I couldn't find a setting to change so I re installed and made sure to choose no when it promps to secure at boot. You must wipe data or set up won't load to give you the option to decline. Maybe someone else knows where the setting is located.

Hello, I appreciate everyone's efforts here. Status report on the beta 4 rom; camera randomly won't open, random reboots, cannot disable ambient display, and google contacts sync "has stopped" 100% of the time so I cannot sync contact changes. fyi I've been doing this stuff a long time so to the best of my ability, flashed it properly, clean flashed... doesn't mean I can't learn tho.

This is a promising rom. Again, thanks for the work on this and for sharing. I still like my N6 and this rom and its future updates are keeping it really usable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
This is last one for today.

my experience with crdroid oreo8 beta4

crDroid oreo8 beta 4 by neobuddy is 100% working in my mobile

What i did?

1. Downloaded the Beta4 rom, opengapps specified by the developer , magisk 14 and finally NanoMod 14.2.

2. logged to recovery wipe-advanced wipe- selected system, cache, dalvik cache and data and wiped

3. installed rom after that open gapps then magisk and finally nanaomod .zip file then boot the rom

4. now system booted entered all the setup formalities, this time one reboot faced then finished the setup ( you can see lot of apps which are not wanted but don't touch now )

5. using playstore installed Titanium backup next step is important

Important steps:

1) using titanium backup i uninstalled all the unwanted apps installed by Nanomod

2) every uninstalling you must restart the device, likewise removed most of the unwanted apps sometimes you may face few reboots automatically ( but i was not worried as after reboot i can see the apps)

3) at this stage if you try to open youtube or phone it may say "google playservice is not detected in your device, so don't open any apps

4) now go to magisk app , in that modules you can see Nanomod is installed, just untick (uninstall) and reboot the device

5) after reboot all the apps are 101% working for me for past 8hrs no reboot no issues and super blazing speed.

this my experience with this rom and my mobile
[Nexus 6 Android Development] abogrhen:
did the kernel had some future removed?

like swipe to unlock

in beta 3 it was available

using kernel managers

wifi auto connect work it sames

the one in magisk workes for me

(busybox for XXXXX)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jsk108:
I just installed this rom yesterday after trying a couple of others that had bugs. This one has been running perfectly! So, first off, thanks so much to the developers for your hard work.

I have a question-- is there a way to turn off the led when the phone is charging? Also, am I correct in understanding that future updates to the rom will come OTA?? If so, that is freaking awesome.

Thanks so much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Some bug fixes are more imp. Testing a bug fix - if that's fixed, new ROM build will be released with it. You will receive OTA notification when build is ready.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lostrg:
With the kernel changes does this support f2fs, how about sdcardfs? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:
Yea. Using Magisk 15.3.5 with 14.2 works with its own Busybox. Using Magisk for SU. Other applications don't and Busybox apps give me an error when I try to install. BTW I have opengapps 8.0 - pico.

do you mean the one in the magisk download tab

or something else

[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Update time!

Thank you for all feedback and logs. Get latest and so-far best build below. This build has dropped changes to serial driver (which fixed BT sleep earlier) since it crashes voice driver for many users and added new BT configuration along with kernel fix. At the same time, some of the kernel tunings are back in place to give more smoother experience. BCL and Thermal hotplug is rewritten to handle device hotplug as and when necessary without conflicting with each other (they are good friends now :P) Background apps will now use only Core 0 to work instead Core 0-3 in previous builds; This behavior is similar to stock and it is done to have optimal performance for foreground apps in extreme cases of BCL and thermal conditions. F2FS is not supported as of yet.

Now that device seems good (hopefully, will hear good reviews) - we can accelerate on ROM features.

Beta 5 release notes:

shamu: Rework BCL and thermal drivers hotplug

shamu: New BT sleep fix. Fixed voice driver crash.

shamu: Kernel and device optimizations

lockscreen: Max notifications configuration

lockscreen: Media art toggle

statusbar: VoLTE icon toggle

navbar: Pixel animation toggle

quicksettings: Expanded desktop tile (This is WIP - may give issues if you use)

Misc framework optimizations and trivial fixes

For best experience, go for clean flash. New gapps based on open gapps official is uploaded - link in OP.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Thanks neo for this first test!

Strangely enough rebooting after flashing goes back into TWRP. Flashing the gapps package posted in OP flashes normally here though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
After flashing, did you long press the power button to reboot or did you press the reboot system button on twrp?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Argh, ok. Thanks for helping out. I skipped that step because Gapps flashed normally. Booting now. Thanks again! (booting from TWRP into bootloader and choose 'start' from there also worked)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
He's refering to you stating the rom being "completely unusable" which is not true at all. Your statement misleads people, especially as it seems like you haven't read or followed the OP to the dot. Which brings me to a question, have you followed the instructions in the OP to the dot? It says that the first hour the rom will be a bit shaky, it needs time to let the services settle in. It's a beta for a reason. I can't stress this enough, Read the OP!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
delete
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenety:
With that I meant completely unusable for me at that point. That's why I asked if other people had the same problem. You are completely correct that it needs to settle in. But has been about 2 hours now and my phone is burning hot at about 90% CPU. So I guess the rom isn't for me yet.

Only reason I reported it was because I saw other users were using the rom fine, and it was not usable for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
One thing I have seen in logs is "media upload" Perhaps, that's gapps causing this issue. Will check how can we contain this.

On other note, dirty flashing ROM with newer build will not result in same case which means this "unusable" phase is one time after clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
Very, very impressed with all the Devs in this Oreo process. Loads of hard work and time being put into these builds and it's being done in lightning time. Drop these guys some contributions, they deserve it. Two Oreo builds that are basically daily drivers in less than a month...impressive
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
I'm not going to argue with what you did and what you haven't done as I'm no mind reader and only go by what you have previously written. A suggestion would be to post a log and I'm sure it would be easier for the dev to see what's going on. There is an old saying that goes like this: Logs or it didn't happen! ;)
