Still last update is Nov 6th on my phone, checked just now (10pm CET Sunday)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Emy12:
Is late now, I think i checked every day from 6 to 10 times/day. I even erased data from, google play service instead of framework by mistake. Yes i did cleared data from framework and it worked.

I know that google has his nest in the framework place, all the spies are there. I will erase data every day, who know I might get the Oreo before it will be released :)

The phone works PERFECT.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
I can't be the only one that thinks the new transparent status bar/tile screen is hideous! In some cases it resembles screen burn, which is not at all attractive, and I see no practicality of it. I was hoping some of my substratum themes would mask it or at least make it less transparent, but I haven't found anything.

Anyone found a way to disable it/revert to the older visual theme?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bryanx86:
Use white wallpaper

Well, considering you suggested at first didn't sign up properly to beta labs or suggested I didn't press the request button when I signed up to beta labs, I think you've been a great lot of help to me. :eek:

But I've now found out from another site the interesting fact that the UK was not even involved in the first beta testing phase, so I wouldn't have got it even though I kept trying to get it for two whole weeks.......despite very helpful people here saying I wasn't doing it correctly!

I think I'll wait patiently for official 8.0 (if UK gets it) and won't give my personal experience here with my Nokia 3.

There seems to be this stupid notion around that everyone in UK is stupid and we live 300 years in the past compared to everyone else :eek:

Are you bootloader unlocked or do you have a working custom recovery (TWRP) installed or are you not into all this rooting stuff :confused:

Thing is I am not far off releasing a flashable stock based Oero just a couple of things to iron out first but obviously a custom recovery or working Flashtool is needed.

FIH/Nokia stitched up the Oreo user's who seem to be locked out for now in their eagerness to assist in the beta testing. :(

Basically don't anyone take official Oreo unless they give an official or unofficial bootloader unlock or you will be locked out forever. :mad:
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:
My Nokia 3 is not boot loader unlocked and doesn't have TWRP.

[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigrammy:

Things only get messy when OEM's start trying to mess with SPFlashtool compatibility which is an invaluable tool for MediaTek devices and works a treat. :(

There is still plenty of FIH junk in this phone doing who knows what so the claim of pure Android is really quite false at the moment IMHO

[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:

I never got the 8.0 beta either - even though I signed up for it....
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eldin_96:
Have you tried contacting the support? I'm kinda in Eastern Europe but Germany also got the update and Germany is considered to be part of the Western Europe same as the UK.. I wasn't on beta either.

My suggestion would be to flash the oldest firmware that's available for download here and do the OTA's via "Check for updates" option. I've read somewhere that you used to flash OTA zips too.. instead of doing that try the official method. (also don't put your sim card in the phone while flashing and checking for the updates)

You'll probably have to wait, but one thing you can try is go to language settings and add English India and try to check for updates again. I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me, then again i'm not in the UK and i have a TA-1032 so that may make a difference

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Hello fellow Pixel users!

Just wanted to take a minute and start a small discussion with you about stuff that only works with root. Maybe you feel the same.

As an Android user from day 1, I always enjoyed the general "openness" of Android compared to other mobile OSs and used to frequently try out new custom ROMs, play with all the system UI tuner options and obviously got used to having a decent adblocker.

But ever since I got a Pixel XL, I was honestly surprised by the relatively small amount of ROMs and general lack of development on XDA regarding the Pixel phones. At least compared to previous phones I owned, with the exception of the Blackberry Classic maybe... :D

(Obviously I don't want to discredit the folks that ARE working on these devices. You're awesome and your work is very appreciated!)

Right now, I only use root for AdAway, Nova Launcher (for turning off the screen and locking it with a double tap) and Ex Kernel Manager (even though I never used it or changed any of the settings).

So what I really want to talk about is, what do you use root for? Or why did you unlock your bootloader? Is there something I'm missing? :)

TL,DR: Did you root your phone or unlock the bootloader? Why?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
Yes and yes.

I will always run an unlocked bootloader. It's a security safety net. If my phone bricks, I have the option to flash factory images. I can always return to stock if something goes wrong.

Root, yes, of course. Because Android.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Those are great points! You're absolutely right!

But what about apps or system tweaks? You said "Because Android" but how is your experience different from someone who didn't root?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
Root privileged apps- adaway, titanium backup, modded YouTube, modded Spotify, SD Maid, Substratum and a few others.

Also, custom kernel with customized color profile for a more vibrant display.

I also enjoy themeing my own device so having root is necessary for me.

I also need to root, well, BECAUSE ANDROID :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] buski:
U don't need root for substratum on my 8.1 and use Andromeda add on for rootless substratum

I feel like going back to nougat and root for Xposed though...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Thanks for the suggestions!

If you ask me:

Not a fan of TB (restoring often causes problems)

or SD Maid (some cache is important and shouldn't be deleted - except for uninstalled apps),

Substratum is way too buggy for me (at least I can't seem to find a theme without bugs)

and I probably shouldn't ask about those modded apps on here, even though they sound interesting. I guess I'll have to Google that. :laugh:

After looking through Ex Kernel Manager, I can't seem to find anything that I'd want to use or fiddle with. The phone is fast enough, so no overclock. The colors are fine, so no tuning needed. And all the other stuff looks dangerous... :D

Where are all the awesome system UI options though? I'd love to have my clock in the center of the status bar and display battery percentage INSTEAD of the icon. I know that those are usually coded into custom ROMs but there are no 8.1 ROMs...

Oh, how I'd love to see an 8.1 DU ROM working flawlessly...

Edit: Why go back to Nougat and why use Xposed? I don't get what the big deal is about Xposed nowadays. I used it a few years ago but only because of one or two add-ons, if I recall that correctly.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
I have center clock on 8.1 using a Substratum theme.

Also, you can choose to select battery percentage next to the battery icon in 8.1 battery settings.

Once source code gets released for 8.1, the SystemUI can be deodexed which will allow for 3minit battery mod to work. I believe 3minit requires root.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nsmal24:
Reasons are getting thin aren't they. AdAway, TB, and Tasker (HBM and single tap sleep(without device admin permission thus required pin)). TB makes life easier but not a necessity. Different device wouldn't need HBM most likely. So basically it comes down to AdAway which I'm pretty sure I'd go nuts without.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePublisher:
TB, Tasker, lucky patcher, greenify, acr (automatic call recorder), ad away. And generally being able to mess with things.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pain-N-Panic:
"Generally being able to mess with things" is the most accurate response this question for those who love Android at its core.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePublisher:
That's the technical term for it at least.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaSmith87:
I'm down to one reason and I found out about it a few months back actually. Without it I probably wouldn't bother.

Assertive display - visibility outdoors in the freaking sun with sunglasses on? Heck yeah! :) The most annoying part is that it just takes two lines added to the build.prop file. If I could do this without root I sure as hell would.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] prot-:
Adaway
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Thanks for all your answers!

This basically proves my point though in my opinion. Having a rooted Android device used to be such an open playground for fun stuff and now it's mostly just about adblockers and minor tweaks apart from a few apps that still take advantage of it like Tasker and TB.

At least the phones nowadays are fast as hell and have insane cameras. I just wish it would be more sci-fi-y if you know what I mean. Phones aren't just gadgets anymore, they're expensive pieces of hardware that seem to improve upon basic things that we could do for years.

Android updates used to have lots of cool new features with every new version number that was released and now they just seem to improve upon what they can already do and sometimes take features away or even lock them to specific phones (looking at the guy who thought it was a great idea to make stuff like "motion pictures" a feature only on Pixel 2 devices even though our device had the feature available for a day).

Guess I'll take this opportunity to spend less time messing around with tons of options and just be thankful for what they can do now. Like playing stupid gambling-like games with ps1-graphics on a device with a quad-core and 4GB of RAM. :laugh:

Am I the only one who gets turned off by games that have reviewers saying "addictive" and "great time-killer"? This thing could play GTA 4 and tons of people rather spend a hundred bucks on candy crush...

Whatever, it's all good. I guess I just have different expectations.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sacthegreat:
You are right! I was also using root just for the 3 reasons you specified! Adaway is the biggest reason. There are other solutions, but nothing that reliable. And next biggest is Ex Kernel Manager to set up double tap to wake without lockscreen.

As for the motion photos, you still can get it. You need to download that version of Google Camera APK and disable updates. I am using it and it looks good. But it works only in Google Photos App. So not that useful as well!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sb1893:
My quick reasons for bootloader unlocking and rooting mirror many of the others here:

1) Ability to flash factory images in a recovery situation.

2) Titanium Backup - although I haven't had to actually use this to recover anything other than a specific app or 2 in the past few years.

3) Adaway

4) Ability to modify build.prop to leverage native hotspot/tethering (Verizon GUDP)

I am interested in learning more about Assertive Display and the differences between it and Adaptive Brightness. My understanding is that Assertive Display works separately from Adaptive Brightness and actually adjusts the tone/color/contrast of individual display pixels to optimize viewing in bright sunlight. Theoretically, this allows you to turn down screen brightness to achieve better viewing/contrast in bright conditions. Can you provide the link to directions you used to enable Assertive Display? Also - does it play well with Adaptive Brightness - or do you need to manually tweak screen brightness to account for Assertive Display?

Thanks!
