Pixel 8 Factory Images

I'm currently running AP1A.240305.019.A1 (March) update on my P8. My phone is attempting to download one of the two April patches (I don't know which one, it keeps saying installation failure). It is probably having trouble because of all the rooting and mods I've made, so I'm just going to backup and wipe the phone, but I don't know which update to get.

The choices are:

AP1A.240405.002

AP1A.240405.002.B1

Is anyone here already running the version without the "B1"? Did the one that does not have B1 on the end come out earlier, or is it code for a certain carrier (I have VZW)?

I'm wondering if they released the April patch a little too soon and had to add something else then tacked on "B1" after so they wouldn't be named the same?

Thank you if you can answer this. I have both patches downloaded and I'm ready to install either right now but I really need this answered first.
[Google Pixel 8] Koeties:
Have you tried the excellent PixelFlasher tool yet? I use that to upgrade my rooted and modded Pixel8 every time a new update is release. That way I don't need to worry about wiping and redoing root etc. The tool also links to the correct image for your phone version to download the update image. I updated to the AP1A.240405.002 as the B1 one wasn't released at that time. Any of the two images will work, although the B1 image is the latest.
[Google Pixel 8] AggresiveSoldier:
Quick Google search shows the B version is a 2nd update for April.

The NON-B version was giving problems to some and there reception.

The B version apparantly has a newer/different modem firmware in it that should resolve the modem problems some where seeying.
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
Let's bump this question. What's the deal.. anyone? I've been having some phone call issues that I haven't had previously so I'm tempted but is this an OTA or a sideload only?
[Google Pixel 8] adblacklidge:
I did Google searches about this before posting here and I couldn't find anyone stating the exact difference between the two patches. For example, this guy just says people's phones that already have the April update aren't auto-downloading the B1 version:

Google widely rolling out new April OTA for Pixel 7, Fold, and 8 owners [U]

Google released new Android 14 QPR2 builds with the April 2024 patch for the Pixel 7/Pro, 7a, Fold, and 8/Pro, though there no update...

9to5google.com

Your Google search skills must be better than mine, or maybe I just didn't look hard enough since it was late. IDK.

Thank you for the info. I'll go ahead and install the "B1" version then.
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
Looks like a Verizon thing. OTA just released it seems and installing now. This should fix the connectivity issue.
[Google Pixel 8] AggresiveSoldier:
As with any rollout of OTA its probably a phased rollout.

If you want it right away you could always download it from https://developers.google.com/android/ota and then use PixelFlasher for example to flash it on your device.

Idiot me...

I've flashed the NATF ROM just now, only to discover (should've seen it coming) that all the Hebrew support I've had installed is now gone.

The TP was flashed with a Newpan ROM, I imagine (that's the company I've bought it from) and now it's all gone.

Is there any way to go back to my original ROM?

Do I need to get their actual ROM to flash it back?

Thank you!!!

Yes, and Yes.

Hello to all ,

Well i was jus siting and looking at all the ROMs around so jus gave it a thought that can;t we have a thread where is we post the name of all the current running ROMs for Kaiser which is most prefered and feedback to the chef to make it better..

i know i am really a Jr. to think so much for as i jus have a a new Kaiser.

But then jus give it a thought and post the ROM which is in your Kaiser/TYTN II / TILT ... and the one you feel is great.. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
It's all down to personal opinion, there are plenty ROM's to choose from, flash flash & flash till you find the one that you like...

You can aslo just check people sigs and the chefs get comments in there threads.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Hi, we are currently discussing the pros and cons of such a thread in the "About" forum here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466666

At the moment I am using PDACorner v14. A lot of members post their ROM versions in their signatures.

As I said in the other thread, this sort of discussion is very subjective. I'd recommend you watch the forum and try some of the newer ROM's to get a feel for what you like. That's how I do it :)

since ive been a member i personally think anyone who spends ther time to cook up and share with us all deserve a pat on back [or a donation how ever small]and like it says in first of any posts...search search...search
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
I recommend closing this thread... This is NOT a chat room... There are plenty of reading material in every Cooked ROM thread, that would enhance anybody's knowledge of which ROM people are using or not using and WHY...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] theblueeyz:
My thing is, I am rather new to the ROM-flashing thing. I've quickly learned alot about how to do all this, and now what I'm lacking is a cohesive sense of what ROMs are out there that I can try on my phone - I haven't the time or the inclination to scroll through dozens of pages back through the Kaiser forum looking for ROMs to try. It would be nice to have a single sticky thread where all the available Kaiser ROMs are listed (in the Kaiser forum, and other similar threads for other phones in the other forums) that just hyperlink to the appropriate thread for each ROM.

What that gives the Noob especially is a list of all the ROMs they can try. I'm just guessing that I've seen even 1% of the available ROMs. I have no idea if I'm choosing one I really like, or one I settle on because I can't find the rest.

It's really little more than a question of convenience. By having a single list of all the available Kaiser ROMs, it makes it easy for me to look at them all and choose one. Such a thread does not need any discussion to be allowed, it's just a source of information. If people want to discuss a ROM, they can discuss it in the thread that is linked to from the main list.

Does this make sense?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vikasraj:
Apologise to those who think of closing the post but my intension was jus to let every express the ROM they use cause not every one uses the ROM anD Radio VER on there signatures..

Also it would let know that who uses which ROM , I am sorry to see that this is driven into a conterversy ..

Trolling for regulars

vikasraj dont worry mate this board is chock full of regulars who belive that anyone who comes here should read every single post, of course it is perfectly reasonable to ask for a quick list of popular roms but that would be far too easy and lets face it give the sad regulars nothing much to read, I wouldn't pay too much attention to the regular users here apart from the flashing info, they really don't add much apart from stupid pointless 'read the board' comments, I am here to find a new rom (the last one all the regs said was great is buggy as hell) and yes a rom chart would have saved a lot of time. Like you I have a life.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mikegadd:
Forum a dictionary meaning

A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas

Did not the original message fall into this meaning.

By its very nature the posting of Roms is trying to compete with other roms.

So a thread that simply rates roms would be a good idea and give constructive comment and possibily the sort of feedback the rom builders are looking for and why they do what they do.

It would also help those that want to extend their experience, and not get frighten away by high minded comment.

Thats All

I suggest thread starter to just see the benchmarking of Kaiser ROM's done by one of Our friends out there in the kaiser forum. I will provide link whenever I get it but its better for now to search yourself for it. Go by facts & not by values. Hope it will help you. Good luck. I think we should move forward to help cookers in making ROM better. :)

Yup - it already exists, here.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Why are we doing this again ? I understand that people are (especially it seems the noobs ) incredibly lazy. No one wants to do their homework, no one wants to test drive. no one wants to think. Everyone wants someone else(no matter what their qualifications) to tell them what is the best.

The chefs here do not make these roms for you or me. They make these roms for the challenge and for themselves and then they share them with us. How offensive would it then be , to subject them to a competition .

It would be like going to a Hot Rod or Custom car show and judging people's hours , months or years of artistic and engineering work with a dismissive " that one sucks, not enough cup holders " guess what ? It wasn't built for you, it was shared with you. Your opinions are yours, why should chefs be forced to confront these ( mostly uninfomed opinions ) in a public forum.

Every rom has it's own thread to rate and evaluate the rom, and to try to work out whether it is the rom that is at fault or the user.That is more than enough discussion for the chefs to improve the rom.

Although getting some people to actually do this .........( with 7 total posts ) one wonders how much effort was put into identifying the source of these " bugs ."

These are the type of comments we want our chefs to be subject to on a concentrated thread ?

I got A's in college , because I read and did my homework. Of course many others graduated too by using someone elses notes.

Translation : It is all about me..me..me.. for free...free.. free.. To all you people who have contributed to this forum for years, if there is nothing that you can give me...me...me..now..now...now for free...free...free... then you all suck and keep your opinions to yourself.

And I am not wasting it doing *THIS*

Dave, if you are asking, I vote no, for subjecting our much appreciated chefs. to a beauty contest or prom king type thread for the benefit of the "lazy "

Just my opinion. Thanks for listening

this would be fine topic in the Kaiser generall forum. (alot of the people who hate these types of threads cluttering up the boards like myself dont generally read the generall forum very often I believe)

This isa rom DEVELOPMENT forum. Ie if your not either posting a new rom in development or about the process of cooking and development.....you should not start a new thread here. The Kaiser generall forum is a great place for this type of discussion.

also a good way to get a overall list of the most popular roms would be to sort this forum by how many posts a thread has....click at top. And that will continue to be useful as long as people only post new roms and development related topics in here.

This topic should be moved to the kaiser generall forum and it would be taken much better/ignored by the more senior members/admins

yeah i edited my post, after rereading it a couple of times I thought to myself, I like to spoon feed so I'll edit and change post to "lol, funny stuff" instead of what I had put. lmao :D it was a good first post tho kinda wish I left it!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Well it seems this post has become obsolete.

@OP, As discussed, I don't think that sort of thread would be constructive.

@All, re a "Best thread discussion"

As I pointed out first time, there is already an indepth discussion for and (mostly) against this type of thread. If you have something to add, please do it there (reading all previous dicsussion first, of couese ;))

@denco7,

Most of your arguments match mine in the other discussion, I am not for or agaisnt a best ROM thread in theory, it's the behaviour of some forum members on those type of threads that make it undesirable.

Thanks

doesn't work with GpsCompass

I installed a program called GpaCompass that doesn't show up in my win/startmenu/programs, so I copied and pasted the .exe there, I tried to cut/paste the .exe there, still no go. it gives me an alarm about microsoft.net, but i have 3.5 installed. I've tried using 2.0 as default AND 3.5 as default. not sure what to do. I'll try to include screenshot of error msg.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rumball:
Don't copy (or cut!) and paste the exe to your Startmenu/Programs folder. Instead you should copy and paste a SHORTCUT to the exe in your Starmenu/Programs folder. By pasting the exe file itself into your folder it is trying to execute from that folder when other files that it may need are in the installation directory somewhere else on your device.

So first, cut and paste the .exe back to where it was originally located. Next copy the exe and "Paste as shortcut" into your Startmenu/Programs folder
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] scottspa74:
Thanks lots

@ Rumbal,

worked beautifully, thanks a lot! I apparently misunderstood other posts I had read about doing this. And , call me an idiot, but somehow completely overlooked "paste as shortcut", and only saw "paste".

This is something I just learned as well. Now I'm going to go ahead and make all the shortcuts I want!

I am pretty new to Touchflo and am wondering who is using (and enjoying) touchflo, and who still uses HTC home. I remembered reading somewhere that some people uninstalled touchflo and kept with HTC home. I want to see everyone is doing before i get fully on board. Also, if you use another option I didn't list, put in a comment and i can add it to the poll.

Once i got my hand on SPB Shell, Everything is faster and easier to access. No look back to TF3D here. The interface of spb shell is just beautiful and straight forward. I can run both lunchers side by side but I don't see the need. Fuze's battery life is very good on spb shell tho some reports said it drained battery life especially when run together with TF3D. Well.. my battery last almost 2 days with moderate use with spb shell ( with advanced config max power saver setting and manually switch between 3G and GRPS when needed. So, No compliant at all. )

Just did quite tough battery life test today. Talked on the phone for more than an hr. Missed a few calls. Did some text messaging and checked voice mails. Heavily surf on net using 3G and GRPS. Turn on and off different applications especially the browers/ calenda/ games/ online games... let data connection stay on... 25% left after about a 9-10 hrs day.

I actually don't use either. I use rlToday, which is a simple XML based homescreen.

Here is the version I made for the Samsung Epix.

The one I'm using now replaces the text below the clock with 4 big icons (SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM) with their respective counters.

So I still have the neat clock (not animated) and big buttons to get me to the needed app.

There is lots of room between the clock and the 4 bottom buttons... I was thinking of adding a Google Search bar or something... but I dunno.

I just like it because it is simple and displays what I need it to in an easy to read/access fashion.

No 3g no sweat

They Made it clear to the public that the were not going to do such a thing. I live in Florida, I imported mine anyway, just cause.

I must say though, I also have the g1 which supports 3g and I don't notice that much of a speed difference because Opera mobile does such a kick ass job of rendering web pages.

Though, if your intertainment relies heavily on Youtube vids, than don't get the HD unless you have plentiful Wifi networks around.

I love my touch HD, the lack of US 3G don't really translate to much.

I hope you find this helpful

Thank you for your great explanations I’m using it mainly for emails, so I guess I can use it anyway doesn’t matter if I am using 3G or edge network. :D
