Upgrading to Oreo: Worth it?

Hi peeps. I'm currently running my U11 on Rooted 7.1 Nougat Stock ROM, which I love to pieces, it's very smooth, fast & stable.
I would like to know what peoples experiences are with Oreo, since it's a big job to upgrade once you've rooted. Are there any real advantages to updating? Is it worth the hassle?
Give me the skinny
cheers :good:

I was glad to get it mainly for two reasons - A it allows our company client certificates to be imported that were too advanced or something for Nougat (so now I can browse our internal systems from phone) and B there is LDAC support (useful if you have high-end Sony BT headphones) and other Bluetooth hi-res audio codecs on top of regular aptX. I also find the UI neater, and like new option for do not disturb mode (notifications off until next planned silent time ends) but that alone wouldn't make me flash. Let's see what others have to say

Oreo was the start of all my problems... It's a tough situation though because Oreo brings with it the latest Android security patches...
But have had endless network, SMS and Wifi issues ever since.
Good luck!

Icons are UGGLLLYYY! as hell! And yes i know themes ... but cant fix all problems - you need to change launcher =(

I suspect upgrade process is at fault, which wouldn't occur when re-flashing the rooted phone and restoring or re-installing your apps there. Just my guess though. Personally I didn't experience any such problems after OTA to Oreo.

Well, setting HTC Classical icons in Personalize - Edit current theme - Icons fixes most except for Google ones. I didn't really like how Oreo (or HTC?) rounded all the icons, with Google ones it works IMO.

The same with me. Lag on the apps menu, and also in some apps. I noticed it few days after I updated to the latest stable release (oxygenOS 9.0.4).
A reboot fix the problem for some days, but unfortunately it come back again, and the only solution for fixing it temporarily is a reboot. The last time I needed to reboot I had my oneplus 6 running for 166 hours , if I remember correctly.

Thank you.
I currently have the previous version installed, which in my case caused the black dots at the bottom of the screen.
The update manager, however, continues to offer me the wrong update that was intended for Android 9, is there anything I can do to solve?

Nothing weird going on, it looks just the same as the buggy update but without black bars.
Customize your pixel is still there.
System update still tries to download the Android P update and fails. Got fixed after a few hours, now says system is up to date.

I have no idea.
At first I was sceptic and didn't wanted to update, but some said it's working fine so I did. In the past 1 hour I didn't encounter any bugs and feels like there are some improvements on the phone with haptic feedback and bottom speaker sound quality.

The new ROM was officially announced on the mi forums by the forum moderator.
The new rom is again "partial" and announced in "phrases"... Such professionalism.
Yet for the users from the first wave, the update is still locked on P security patch.
I am not complaining about the update itself here... I am complaining on the... sheer underwhelming quality of the official Mi Community...
Also, for OP.
These were fixed in the initial first wave:
4- Fixed android.process.media crash while choosing Ringtone when DND on.
7- Known Android 10 features.
8- New! Qualcomm FM Radio app instead of Xiaomi's own. (as a side commentary, it's stupid, and if you check the system apps, you'll still find the old Xiaomi app there)
12- Camera captures less blurry Photos. (worked extremely fine and fast in the initial release)
13- Light sensor feels its working. Better than Pie. (took shorter to train, works ok now)
17- New! Google Play system updates! (If its not up to date tap on it and press Check for update button.) (this is the whole thing people were yelling at me it's not going to be implemented, back in the speculation posts... but ohh well)
19- App switching via Navigation button sliding works smooth then Pie.
Now what really matters is the following if you can confirm
-The pixel customization doesn't go away even after you "customized" your device again, and it's annoying.
-Full SD Card access cannot be found in settings, and would only appear after you try editing files with specific app
-The update did reset the battery optimization AI or whatever that function is called and sometimes apps notifications for specific less used apps since the update don't wake the phone up, apps that were previously used and started behaving correctly after a while
-The audio FX in Audio settings is missing and the old problem with a non-root system wide DSP (Noozxoide EIZO-rewire™ PRO) is still persisting.
-The wi-fi icon being stuck to only class 4 wi-fi networks
What I can understand from your list, compared to my initial beta list the following things are fixed:
-the missing kernel drivers fixed
-system animations
- New! Charging sound. (which are not present in 1st wave)
What I can't comment on:
9- I tested all hardware one by one via Factorykit Test app everything works as expected.
While this was true on some users, the fact that the 1st wave bricked so many devices, counts your argument as entirely true, and applicable in the "fixed" section of my list.
1- [email protected] fps Video Recorder doesnt work on OmniVision OV12A10 Camera sensor.
Can't confirm, since I have Sony sensor.
2- System button misaligned in Settings app while using 2 or 3 button Navigation. (see the attached image)
Not broken in 1st wave... So they really had to mess something up in a list of all pros.

Ok when will xiaomi roll out update #3 or continue update #2

Installed the update via update from SD card. So far everything working ok, I'm wondering what's the files to flash and order to do for having magisk and twrp. I guess ianmcd's twrp is for custom ROMs only, don't know if magisk 20.4 (cannary) works with this fw. Thanks for your advice..

[Gesture navigation problem on android 11]

Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.

MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers
Xiaomi's MIUI 12 still casues issues with thrid-party launchers like Nova, Lawnchair, and more as per the latest user reports.
piunikaweb.com

Same here, 'recents' don't work with Smart-Launcher'

Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.

Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...

same, i'm using lawnchair launcher. need to use default launcher for the time being.

I don't know, some say it works

Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.

In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).

Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone

ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.

Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..

i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.

I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?

MIUI 12.2.5.0 RJKMIXM update

Hey guys, did any of you update to the latest MIUI 12.2.5.0 RJKMIXM? I mean 12.2.4.0 was riddled with bugs, I couldn't use third party launchers(it created issues with recents menu) , third party video players( MX player force closes after a minute), even I had difficulty in attending a call when the phone was locked. It was one big mess. So I downgraded my phone to android 10 and I am terrified to update again. So did any of you guys update and are you facing any above mentioned issues? Thanks in advance.

Xiaomi decided to implement full gestures only in stock launcher not in system UI.
I used it (currently on AOSP) without any particular problem. Certified play store, safety net ok. (Without root).

This is to confirm that I have updated to 12.2.6.0 and the recents menu bug associated with nova launcher has been fixed. But the force closing issue of MX Player still exists.
