[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Donille:
Yup, I think all of us have this issue. some believe its a feature to avoid screen burn-in on the navbar area.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] The Bankshooter:
hahaha i vote for system ui bug, anyway, im not sure but it seems to me that the new soak wastes battery in standby
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rdsj:
I had a battery drain bug similar to that previously, even on Nougat, where System/AndroidOS would show up as using roughly 15-20% combined in one day (when it should quote around 5% like I have today) and continued to have it on Oreo. I did cache clears, a full wipe, app permission reset (as suggested in a Reddit thread) and nothing seemed to fix it. I really don't know what eventually did, could have been clearing cache before updating to the second soak. It may not be completely fixed either cause I also haven't been using my Android Wear watch recently, which may keep the system awake in some weird bug.

Last thing I started doing is shutting off my phone at night and that seems to rejig the system.

It's a really irritating Android bug that was reported a lot on OnePlus forums and Android Reddit threads, I tried everything to no avail, and cant think of one thing I did that seemed like an immediate fix. Best of luck in figuring out what works for you.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] iNaruX:
I am on Soak test 2 and have absolutely no complaints so far with battery life. I would even go as far and say it got better because of the pitch black Substratum themes I installed to save battery.

Can confirm that the Navbar does indeed "move" around a couple of pixels and looks a bit weird (Substratum doesn't theme it for some reason...). It looks less saturated presumably to reduce burn-in issues.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zeu87:
This movement of the navbar is noticeable, but I believe it is a protection against burn-in, so I do not care about it...
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rdsj:
What theme are you using to try and change the navbar?

Also using Substratum and a pitch black theme, makes everything look so nice. Don't understand all the OEMs being so fond of white on AMOLED panels, makes zero sense.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gvallenas66:

Hi

Can anyone help me by giving the detailed procedure of doing the soak update. As every time I am going to my recovery mode it shows "no command" and another question is where I need to put the update file? Kindly let me know I am new to this thread and doing such thing after a long time .... Thank u
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] carlosgeraldo:
Install soak

First of all if you do not know how to do not do it, you have a great risk of losing the device !!!!!!!

late download and install minimal adb fastboot and the soak test file on your PC.

After installing the minimal adb look for where it was installed and place the soak test file inside the folder.

then turn on the smartphone in recovery mode Power + volume (-) button when the Android robot appears press down Power button is just a tap on the volume (+) to enter abd sideloader go down until the third option is after go into the folder of PC (Where was installed the minimal adb) click shirt + right mouse button. It will open a command window type abd devices.

and follow the code that is described in this topic

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Artim_96:
But does the installation run without errors? If so there might be a new F2FS bug. Flash the F2FS loopback bug workaround module directly afterwards, it moves Magisk to /cache otherwise look into the Magisk thread and see what you can do to help make Magisk compatible.

But maybe the bug is in TWRP, so not sure

Does anyone know if it is strictly necessary to be in the compilation with the December patch to install?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Looks like you took the Feb 2018 security patch - the OTA update will only flash onto December 2017 security patch firmware.

If you really want the Oreo update, you may have to downgrade to the December 2017 NPNS26.118-22-2-12 build. However, be careful if you downgrade and then use the Oreo soak test. You'll need all the soak test updates to be back onto the official firmware OTA path, or wait for the fastboot Oreo ROM. Also, if you downgrade, I don't know if flashing the Oreo OTA soak test may hard brick your device (as your Feb 2018 bootloader may not be compatible with the Oreo bootloader). Perhaps the best way is to wait for the official Oreo OTA to be released.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

Yes - the OTA will only flash onto the December 2017 firmware. You could in theory modify the OTA script but then you may have issues with installation (as the stock recovery may detect the OTA has been modified).

What's the install procedure for devices running 7.1.1 with February security patch?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
I'm hoping I'm wrong on this - I'm not sure if there is a procedure. It appears, at least from this report, attempting to downgrade to the December 2017 Nougat firmware from the Feb 2018 security patch and then flashing the Oreo soak OTA results in an (currently) unrecoverable hard brick: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76038865&postcount=344

If it is unrecoverable (i.e. we don't have an Oreo or Feb 2018 blankflash), then you may have to stay on the 7.1.1 Feb 2018 firmware, and wait for the official Oreo OTA or the official fastboot Oreo stock ROM.
