Hello.

I can definitely confirm a huge loss in quality using AAC on my bluetooth headphone. I have a macbook on my side and under OOS 11 my OP8 sounded as good as the macbook.

Right after I install this gorgeous ROM, super silk and smooth, I'm just really concerned about all my music as I don't know why the bluetooth audio quality would suffer that much.

You can hear it pretty obvious, it's distorted pretty quick, like a lame MP3 like Maruli said.

Is there anything we can do to update the codec? Is this a bug? Can we report it?

For me personally, bluetooth audio quality is just too important as i only use bluetooth headphone and my modern car doesn't have any other way to connect too aha, but i don't wanna go back to OOS after tasting EX.

Thank you

#bug OnePlus 8 pro...

Having issue with night light. After setting particular time for on and off, when it start at any period of time i set it, it would never turn off at the time i set it to turn off; i always turn it off manually. Pls hope this would be fixed soon? Every other thing seems working fine for now.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] petes:
The night light issue has been around for a little while and already reported. I've given up for now and just turn it on and off using the tile

Hi. Installed the rom and Magisk rooted.

In this rom bank apps not working. Rootbbeer app passes the root test but bank apps able to detect the root.

In OOS i didn't have this issue. Can someone help me what i am missing

Magisk + zygisk

Bank apps added to denylist
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] gsser:
use shamiko

Thank you. It seem to have worked for GPay app. But ICICI app (iMobile) still able to detect root.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] funnoam:
I got all my banking apps working fine using not shamiko but "universal safetynet fix" module, using zygisk and enforcing denylist. Also renaming magisk app or hide it. No issues on any apps now.

Any news on the AAC Bluetooth terrible quality?

Please make this a priority.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] :
You know whats weird for me, and it just started out of the blue, I cant access my bank accounts while on wifi but I can while using mobile data. Try that out and see if its the same for you. I am unrooted
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Didn't work.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Didn't work either. Wonder how some apps work while some don't. This app worked in OOS though. Can Someone test on their device iMobile icici app?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] justanutt:
I found this. See attached.

I tried to install the iMobile app and got the rooted phone alert as well
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Thank you. But unfortunately it didn't help either. I did exactly as mentioned except for step 9.4 it asked to add HMA, Magisk and Lsposed but Lsposed was noy visible. So except that did everything.

ISLAND workspace also didn't work.

I will create another post on this. Dont want to discuss on this thread. I thought this was ROM specific as it worked in OOS. But if its not ROM specific then i better create a separate thread.

Really thank you for the suggestions. But unfortunately this stupid app is frustrating. This is my main bank account so had to get it running.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Update: finally its working

Installing "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module did the trick.

Not sure if that module alone was enough. As of now I have all other modules suggested above + this module. So its finally working. Thank you all very much.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
No, it doesn't actually.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
Nothing to do with the ROM. If your device isn't being recognized at all then it's your driver's.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
adb sideload is done from recovery, not within the ROM. If your phone is not seen by adb inside recovery, you have serious issues!
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
It most certainly is broken for some folks. I have posted about it few times and some other folks have also run into issues after OTA which got cleared after dirty flash from adb sideload.

"Works for me" is an OK response, but it does not mean its not broken for some.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
Flashing through OTA installs the same exact payload flashing through adb does. Please elaborate, because I find your assessment hard to believe. That includes logs and detailed reports, not some bland statement. I have thoroughly tested USB on my Linux an windows machines as well as OTG on my devices themselves both after ota and sideloading with no issue related to such.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Is the SLIDER working in all 3 steps? For me its working only 2 steps. The top position is not getting detected. Can switch between RING and VIBRATION but SILENT doesn't detect.

Whats worse is if i suddenly switched from bottom position to too position then nothing changes, ie, it stays in Ring mode only.

Tried all other options like flashlight, brightness but top position is not working with this ROM.

Can someone confirm
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AnierinB:
I've heard of this before and it's either due to hardware fault or corrupted persist partition.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
I can confirm its not the hardware issue. I just 2 days back came to this ROM from OOS 12 it was working just fine and i hse it regularly. After upgrading to this ROM i had this issue. Atleast the bottom and middle positions work so thats OK. But if i accidentally switch from Bottom position to TOP then it doesn't even go to vibrate mode so in meetings i had to be careful.

Some other issues i had so far (very minor though)

1. Speaker phone was bot working in WhatsApp call. I could only hear from earpiece though speaker option on screen was shown activated

2. The slider issue mentioned above

3. Gmail app notifications aren't working while in background, currently this is most irritating. Unless i open app it doesn't notify. Checked all battery optimizations. Had this issue in OOS c.12 but after OOS c.17 and c.20 updates it worked well.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
The ROM experience so far has been great and thanks a lot to all the devs and the EvolX team.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] devsk:
I had posted logcat output when I reported my first failure and have the potential to have gone as deep in analysis as you wanted. But you pretty much ignored it.

You can check my posts if you are really curious but I am past this already.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] janitor9:
I was hurry today when updated new OTA and made that mistake that i was rebooted without Magisk. Now root is gone.... Is it adb sideload or using payload dumber. Or is there alternatives?

Solved.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
Where do we have the changelog for new release?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] vip77:
Here.

Seems like status bar icons fit problem with latest versions. Moreover, everything is fine in the curtain. If I disable vibrate icon for example, everything is fitting well.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Marcyvee:
I flashed the last OTA and then flashed magisk in the inactive slot. As the last time i tried, i get a wierd behavior of my OP8P: i can't get access to data partition and i have no connecrion (no data and no wifi). The last time i solved sideloading the update with ADB, but now it doesn't work. I also tried to change the active slot or uninstall magisk but nothing change.

Any suggest to recover my phone without a facorty reset?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:

You should use fastboot rom installer. Alternative method in first post. It's working.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] firoz3321:
OP mentioned for UPDATE use below steps:

Update / Dirty Flash

1. Boot into recovery

2. adb sideload BUILD.zip

3. Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

For FASTBOOT it will be afresh installation isnt it, will lose data and ROOT as well.

UPDATE :

using the latest "platform-tools_r33.0.2" seem to work.

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AdmiralKirk:
Just to throw my two anecdotal cents in, I have so far not had any issues using OTA's for version updates on this ROM. I have both Magisk and LSposed (Zygote) installed along with Shamiko and that's about it for root stuff. I wonder if some of the problems people are seeing are due to unexpected configuration data in partitions this ROM doesn't touch (aka, someone not MSM'ing with an OOS 11 rom prior to flashing this one).

EDIT: Just another quick note while I'm thinking about it. I've noticed some people have had issues ADP Sideloading the ROM. One thing to look out for is that this phone has both the old-fashioned Fastboot as well as the newer FastbootD. When using the ADP Sideload method, both of these modes are used during the Flash process by necessity. They both use slightly different USB Device ID's and thus, each has their own driver. So it's possible to have the correct Fastboot driver in your windows installation but not the correct FastbootD driver, so the ADP sideload will seem to freeze or fail halfway through. Just an FYI.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] justanutt:
I agree. I did the MSM twice now with no I'll effects.

Any way to record calls without the robotic announcement?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] xinseo:
PS, for those having bootloops to recovery, this is how I fixed it:

Grabbed the latest MSM tool from OnePlus' website.

Got vanilla A11 OOS11 using it.

Important part: got the latest OTAs (there were two of them) BEFORE THE ANDROID 12 OTA. They were small in size (200-300MB) whereas the A12 was much larger (3GBs).

Unlocked bootloader and used the method in post#1 to factory rest, flash recovery, sideload the zip file, and Factor reset again.

Before grabbing the OTAs, I would get stuck in a recovery bootloop.

I'd like to request adding long press back button on the navigation bar to kill foreground app. It's included in the gestures, but it would be nice to have it for the navigation bar itself.

I've been using AOSP Mods for the time being, but it would be great if the option were included in the ROM.

There was no option to install the latest 5.8 version via OTA (at least not at the time of writing), so I downloaded and flashed manually. Looks OK so far, including June security updates. Will report back anything else I discover.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Aye, good for stills and videos, but slow motion and 48MP, I couldn't get that toenrkk right, I tried everything available
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Agimax:
It's because it appears the hardware is not able to record at the highest 48MP mode in more than 720p. OnePlus software must be doing tricks to make it appear as 4K in slowmo if you say it can do it. I've never tried it in OOS so i really cant speak to that fact. I looked at articles after i was unable to force slow-motion at 4k or even 2K (with the BSG app), but then found real-world tests in articles on the internet using Stock OOS couldn't truly do it either, so it's not the camera app/software's fault -just a camera sensor/hardware limitation.

Here is the article link: https://www.hispeedcams.com/oneplus-8-slow-motion-is-pegged-at-480fps/

I also was able to tweak the camera slow-mo settings better and bump up the quality bits to 50Mbit recording stream.

BSG Camera: Settings-->Stream Configs Slow-mo-->Camcorder Profile-->videoBitRate

It still isn't that great for slow-mo, but again a hardware limitation. You have to back down to 240fps for 1080p and anything more must use 720p. The 4K recording is awesome quality, but sadly as you stated no Slow-mo. If you are doing it on the stock OOS, it has to be stitching together images or doing enhancements or something since the sensor hardware can't do it.

It appears most phones now just record at 60-120fps and then cut-down the frames in software to achieve the same slow-mo thing. So might as well record at full 4K at 60 fps for great quality and use software to make it slow-mo.

Just FYI, Oneplus 9 has the same issue and complaints: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/how-to-record-4k-120-fps-slow-motion-video.1415150/

For me, sitting there and trying to use a feature I had, that others do have will make me look over the fence, I explained this in previous posts.

Can I rationalize not switching back?

Of course, I can find benefits in both ROMs.

Bottom line for me is the camera, but also some bits that you don't see or normally use but you will miss.

For the time being at least I'm sticking with OOS.

To be clear, Evo X is a phenomenal ROM, that was never in doubt, mainly just th camera

I tested all of the gcam and Nokia and other camera APK's plus some third party stand alone apps, none of the software came close, stills were awesome, no doubt about it, video was adequate, the rest was lacking.

Anyway.......

And since I barely ever use my camera for anything else then taking a pic of my car during a build log or to memorize where a specific wire, plug or bolt went I can get around with GCam just fine luckily.

I tried every single custom ROM there is for the OP8P and all of them had some weird "problem" I couldn't fix and most of the time other people couldn't even reproduce it while I could flash after flash but I blame myself / my specific phone lol.

OOS works fine but it's boring. Very boring. So I am going back to this again. Hopefully this time Google Assistant will actually work and the AOD FP touch after unlock issue will not be present here

Strangely enough -this June 10th update didn't need a persist restore as the other versions did.
