Oreo is just awful, did they not find any Beta testers, all I get is FC's all the time after flashing it 3 times, downgraded.
I received the official Oreo update from T-Mobile and haven't had a single issue with the exception of Oreo not being able to use layers.
No issues here, I've been running it for about two weeks, did you reset your phone after the upgrade?
Substratum doesn't work on Oreo for me. Planning on downgrading to nougat but I don't know which carrier of firmware to download... what is XAC and SPC?? I have an unlocked s8 plus so i don't know which carrier to get

Haven't had any issues with substratum. Did you follow all the new steps. Layers won't work on Oreo but subs do.

Yeah i launched the desktop application, CMD opens, i press a button then substratum launches on my s8 plus. Is that all I'm suppose to do? And what do you mean by subs? I just use system mods and a black theme
Do it have to be plugged into my computer to add themes?

Subs is substratum and yes once substratum launches on your phone just select what you want and it will build and install, no need to reboot like on Nougat. Once the phone is disconnected from your PC you will have to connect the phone to your PC and restart the desktop application to change or add any substratum themes. I'm hoping that they eventually get away from having to use your PC but only time will tell. I left mine plugged in while installing my themes.
Ton of issues for me with Oreo.

I actually did already try it on stock and can confirm that it does not bootloop the device but in turn none of the overlays actually work (they will apply and reboot successfully but nothing changes)
Hey not sure if they just forgot to block the keyword detection in the betas or what, but im ecstatic as Ok Google now works with screen off and not charging, without any hacks to make it work. Take a hint samsung, we dont want Bixby, we have google assistant!
Finally! Is getting on beta program hassle?
Also does the AOD rotate yet too?
I flashed the beta like outlined here, and all is working great, i even used the home_csc and didnt lose data. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-oreo-beta-usa-snapdragon-s8-t3700907 You can save some download time by downloading the sprint version AQGL from http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=C18873D0936C11E7963AFA163EE8F90B instead of sammobile.

You must be on AQGL baseband, as outlined in the thread but you can get that image from updates and it's a faster download.

Do you know if it is possible to flash to XAS from XAA without carrier switching?
Note that there is a strong possibility that this is actually dictated by google play services , probably at the request of samsung.
Actually currently on nougat with my current play services i dont get assistant with screen off and charging. It did work previously and I can probably manually roll back, SOS sadly once Sammy oreo is finalized, they'll give a nod to google to disable Assistant on screen off again.

I believe so, I was on verizon, rooted with samfail. I just odin'd the sprint version, then updated the oreo beta from my sdcard. Works GREAT! Battery life is wonderful, everything is butter.
Everything is verizon branded too, in case you were wondering.
OK googl not working with screen off despite of explicitly allowing voice unlock, is a bug. If it is gone, it is fixed rather than enabled.

I would say its completely a DD. I havent had one problem.
Also, Bixby was the reason for the Ok Google hotword not working, it doesnt work on any galaxy, but works flawless on aosp.
Q: I haven't received the lastest security update, how can I get it?
A: Just wait. Updates may take up to two weeks to reach your smartphone.
Edit: there's now an official way to force install updates:
Download and install the latest version of Google Play Services - it's an official signed version, 12.2.17 (448-186052348) (12217448).
Check for updates - you'll receive an update immidiately.
Q: What's the current build number?
A: As of March 1, 2018, the current build is OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA Security patch level: February 1, 2018. Kernel version: 3.18.66-perf-g90e3040 [email protected] #1 Mon Feb 26 11:58:45 WIB 2018
Q: Does Picture in picture mode work?
A: It does but only a few apps currently support it: e.g. VLC (it must(!) be enabled first in VLC settings), Google Chrome (for desktop mode), YouTube (YouTube red subscription is required), Google Maps (only in navigation mode) and WhatsApp (during a video call).
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: Check this topic.
Q: Where can I get a firmware image to flash offline (fastboot ROM)?
A: Check this page for updates.
Q: Are there EIS or Camera2API? Has low light camera performance been improved?
A: Sadly, both are still missing and low light camera performance is still horrible.
Q: How can I improve low light camera performance?
A: Root your phone, enable EIS/Camera2API, install Google Camera with HDR+.
Q: Can I use/install Google Camera with HDR+?
A: No. (Yes, if you're willing to root your phone and enable EIS/Camera2API).
Q: I've heard about Quick Charge in Oreo, is it indeed present?
A: No, this has been verified by many people, some of whom used multimeters.
Q: What about the Google Phone (dialer) and Google Messages apps?
A: They are now both stock straight from Google.
Update: The latest version of Google Phone is incompatible with the MI A1 for unknown reasons but it's Google who made this decision.
Q: How can I hide the X mark for mobile networks?
A: You can disable WiFi or you can install a substratum theme, "Hide X".
Q: My favourite app or game crashes under Oreo.
A: Factory reset your phone, install just this game/app - check if it crashes. If it does, contact its developer. If it doesn't then some other app or your settings have broken the app/game.
Q: How can I disable/hide/remove App is running in background notification?
It's a "feature" of Android 8. There are three methods to get rid of this nuisance.

No. If you install Magisk you will be able to receive and install OTA updates. You'll just have to reinstall Magisk after each update.

There is not fully working TWRP for Oreo as of now.
Magisk can be used by flashing patched boot.img, which already contains Magisk or follow a bit complicated TWRP guide.

You have to restore stock boot before OTA installation, currently that's possible probably only manually.

Oreo changed the encryption scheme, only the latest TWRP version or Oreo system supports it. Nougat system and older TWRP versions will have problems with decryption.

I tried flashing my phone with latest Nougat, both locked and unlocked bootloader. All fine and good, then I updated to Oreo on my partition B. Worked just fine but I cant boot into partition A as the encryption failed.
Not sure what I have to do on my phone.
Has anyone noticed this thing where if we open a slightly darker or dark image, the display boosts up the brightness in the dark areas ? Sort of like the sunlight display on some phones. I tried to record an instance but it doesn't show it clearly.

Is it just me or Has anyone else noticed it ? Is it something that's built-in or can I disable it ?
Ok so my A1 is rooted bootloader unlocked but for some reason the google camera is not working on this and it used to work on 7.1.2 i enabled HAL3 but still no result can anyone help me

What are you trying to do? Once you upgrade to Oreo, you can't safely boot Nougat system. Even if data wouldn't be encrypted, many apps would force close due to changes between these systems. If you want to downgrade, factory reset is probably inevitable.

There are still A/B partitions. Could you describe what are you trying to achieve? I simply don't understand why do you try to boot into Nougat once you have successfully upgraded to Oreo.

I could have added the answer but I don't have it.
It is somehow possible to hide/disable update to Oreo? My phone is not rooted.
What about this?
Is there any way to add better fonts in Android pie, one ui? Personally I'm wanting either just roboto or to try the new Samsung one font? The standard built in fonts are very basic/old fashioned and there are only really cartoony fonts available to purchase. Cheers

Google has blocked overlay(fonts, custom 3rd party themes, etc.) installations on Pie so Samsung had to do the same thing. The only One Ui devices you can still install overlays are S9 and Note9, and those will probably get an update blocked overlay installation too.
I downloaded Samsung Sans back in Oreo and it stayed after upgrade and is still available...

I think only pie updated fonts in the Samsung store are worthy for our phones this time around.

You need to be rooted on the s8 to be able to install overlays and fonts on android pie. I'm on the latest official stock pie with Magisk root and use wingsfonts to install different fonts, there's thousands to choose from.

Latest stockrom for pie can be downloaded from sammobile and flashed through Odin. Then you flash TWRP recovery through Odin and flash Magisk 18.1. In TWRP recovery. I followed these instructions ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Really struggling to find a guide for this. When I got the device it had Oxygen os but OTA would throw it into a bootloop so I just want to know if I can convert it to the latest version and leave it there I guess.
Thanks
Check out this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8t-cyberpunk-edition.4197621/
At the moment there is not a stable Oxygen OS option for this phone. Some have been successful but will need to wait for next update to see if it boot loops.
Currently I am on HOS and getting OTS updates with play store sideloaded. Plus keep the theme

I'm running HOS too and to be honest, my biggest problem is the quick toggle menu (when you hold power) only works some of the time. Other times it just won't connect to my smart devices. I have to switch my connection from wifi to cellular and vice versa
