Pie: Official OOS or Open Beta? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hi friends,
I am a bit unsure. At the moment I'm on OOS Open Beta 3. Now that the official Pie based OOS was released, I am wondering if I stay on Open Beta or change to official OOS.
What are you doing? Tell me. What are the cons and the pros?
Thank you!
btw.: If somewhere there's already a poll for this, then please tell me.

Open Beta = faster updates, less stable (at least this last declared from oneplus but i've noticed no difference)
Official = slower updates, more stable (but as i said up it's the same)
For updates i mean you get first the latest features that oneplus give us

I'm pretty happy with open beta 3, so I'm sticking to the beta channel. I'm sure there will be a new beta soon, probably won't be a new stable build for a while.

Official here. That way I know magisk modules, kernels and mods will work.

That's why I think I will stay on beta channel, too.

My understanding is once stable comes out, beta stops updating. I hope I'm wrong but we won't know til next week.

If you release program then there should be no updates, goes to your logic then

Incorrect statement!
The change log for official build is taken from Open Beta 2 change log.
Means that the open Beta 3 was released after the official build was certified.
That means that Open Beta will be parallel channel with Official builds.

No, there will still be open beta builds that introduce new features etc.
Funk wizard said 4-8 weeks each stable update, and either 1-2 or 2-4 I don't remember for open beta ota

I didn't expect that the most of you use the stable OOS. I mean: We're on XDA here!
Wow. Thank you!

Well, this is my 1st OnePlus device and i m super happy to be on Beta channel, i was little upset when i saw the stable release came so quick after 3 weeks of beta started. But when i saw the stable release has less feature than the OB3 I decided to stay on Beta channel.
But, yeah I m little comfused, whats new we will be getting on the beta channel after the stable pie has released?
And i want to know 1 thing, will our device always be uncertified till we are on Beta channel?

Ok, thanks for the info.

Will there be no way to shift to stable without loosing data.
Like I stay on OB3 and there is stable beta 3 months later on, still the Stable package considered as downgrade?

I prefer official also, but tarp and magisk do not work on Pie 9 official for me...

Probably going to wait a month until they work out most of the bugs. Still running 8.1.0, OOS 5.1.11
Why fix something that ain't broke?

No for now because stable build is build on beta 1 & we are running on beta 3 so data loss is must if in future stable come a version up then you can go to stable without loss.

I don't recommend dirty flash because sometimes it starts creating issue on your device.your device working fine so good luck i face issues with my older devices so i don't recommend anyone dirty flash because if you get issues factory reset is the last option for you.

Most stable ROM for the long run?

I want to give my unused nexus 5 for a friend, but it's been almost a year since I visited these forums. I want to give him nougat if possible, but are those ROMs stable? Basically I need a stable ROM with good battery life and that's it. What would you recommend?
I recommend flashing the phone with the latest stock MM so it will receive security updates.
Stock will be the most stable.

Thanks. But he doesn't really need security updates. And when I was using it, I'm sure XtraStock and XtraSmooth were really stable, no reboots and no bad stuff happenning. Also, multi window support would be cool, so what is the most stable Nougat ROM?

Try PureWhite6.0.1 Rom, it is very stable as it is based on stock rom.
I am using it since long time.
It's a Nexus, they're all stable. Some have some bugs, but I cannot consider any of these ROMs unstable, like so many of them were on my Galaxy S back in 2011. Me personally, I use Nitrogen 7.1.1, and not only is it stable, I can't even find any bugs in it.
AOSP 7.1.1 by @Santhosh M is great. Also The Fakenexus 7.1.1 is going yo get update soon i think. it was my favourite rom, but i lacked updates for last month. Right @ganachoco ?

Sure? I thought the N5 won't receive any security updates any more.
The n5 won't get nougat but I thought it would receive security patches for a little while longer.
Edit: Looks like the n5 was supposed to stop getting updates three years from the date of introduction or 18 months from when it stopped being sold. Maybe the security updates have stopped?
They have.
I am also searching for a ROM for my N5. I dont want to flash again and again. Lets say I want to choose between AOSP 7.1.1 by @santhoshm and the LineageOS Rom. What are the differences? For Updates: I think the LinageOS will have an integrated Update Feature. And in the Rom by SanthoshM I will have to flash manually in TWRP each Update? And besides that, one is completely the Stock Rom and CM hat some extra features but looks ans feels nearly the same as stock. ...?
Thank you guys!

I'm getting a system update for official Pie OTA

I'm on the last stable release of oxygen and I keep getting the update for pie and it keeps failing
anyone else?
Nice, but how about AOSP android P ?
Stock trash ROM from oneplus is unacceptable.
Why is it so hard for oneplus to make a normal fully functional AOSP for their device ?
and let people to choose what they prefer.
Good news!
looks like Oxygen Pie is on the way XD
Are you on beta?

I completely agree with you. OnePlus is on their way of fcuking Oxygen OS. Waiting for a stock AOSP rom or Pixel experience rom to flash it on my device and get rid of this ****.
that is not Oxygen OS interface(UI)

Stop crying. You bought it and I don't think OnePlus promised to you that you're gonna get AOSP...
If you change the build.prop to Pixel 2, you can receive Pixel Pie update, but you can't install, It happened to me to have this window of update because of that

[Kernel][7.1.2][EOL] Shinsoo Kernel for Nougat

So uh, after Faust's kernel died I decided to maintain it for a while since I like Nougat and Oreo is too buggy (and ugly). Got a good scolding from him after his thread was shut down so I took his advice and made a new thread.
Please be warned that I don't update it that often due to real life commitments ( and Linux+CAF updates have slowed down) so if you're impatient then this kernel probably isn't for you. It's stable enough anyway so I don't expect complaints at any rate.
Kernel has been updated to Shinsoo_r8_Final.
As some of you may have known, Linux kernel 3.18.y has now reached the last update at 3.18.140. So, as promised, I am now stopping support for the Nougat kernel and will focus on Android 9 instead.
There's nothing much for me to say except it's been a good ride seeing Nougat through the end, and it's now time to move on to better things.​
Changes:
Updated to Linux 3.18.140
Updated anykernel2
Upstreamed F2FS
Some fixes and updates from kerneltoast
Under-the-hood changes
Download link (Click me)
Features:
KCAL
F2FS
Maple scheduler
Updated CAF tags + Linux upstream
Wakelock blocker
Adreno idler
Things I won't do:
EAS (sources are blasted out the furry poophole of a miserable street rat)
OC
UC
UV

i tried it yesterday and i noticed that the default setting of this kernel is making some cores offline even while in gaming and making my gaming laggy

Magisk won't work properly, it's constantly losing root or the manager won't hide itself. Then there are random processes that will pop up errors and the devs seem to ignore or take too long to fix these.
Basically less commitments, and now they're raving about pie when oreo is still buggy. These kinda ethics make me sick so I'm staying here.

Sidenote: It ain't that bad. I'm pretty sure you've been using wrong or not proper Magisk / Rom / Kernel. I've tried 6 or more Oreo roms but after I got my hands on Magisk 16.0 vcustom version since then I've encountered zero problems or bugs. I'm using Lineage 15.1 latest Oreo rom with Magisk 16.0 vcustom and random kernel for months now (I change my kernel almost daily to test battery and performance [ Mainly Kud Kernel, Electra Blue, Franco Kernel, Englezos and Stormguard]). No bugs, no crashes, no freezes or any functional errors. I'm no Android developer but if I managed to do this I'm pretty sure you could do if you wanted to. What I'm trying to point out is that you did not choose Nougat because of the instability of Oreo but because you felt more comfortable with it than the newer Android thus didn't put much effort to negate the side effects of a poorly optimized Magisk.zip or ROM. Which are not Oreo's fault. Oreo is stable as hell. The badly managed system modifications that tamper with it will make the system instable, naturally. Either way thank you for maintaining this kernel. When there wasn't out any official/stable Oreo roms I loved to use Faust. Kudos.
You tell us the Oreo's ROM's is buggy, but you use very old unofficial build. Your ROM, doesn't have most of newest changes for Nougat from AEX Team, and security patches from Google...
Please flash latest Unofficial build by piskor, or latest Official build, test it, and come back to this thread aftet test's...

Some parts I can agree with, the last time I tried Magisk was the beta and stable before v17 came along so it might be the case. But bottom line still stands that I encountered problems and the solutions didn't seem to apply at that time.
This was a month ago, I'd have wait for a few more before I have the opportunity to retry them again.

Continuing on from up there, I'm well aware of that. I've tried piskor's once, didn't pan out well. I'd retry them again after a few batches of updates though, can't flash often since I'm on work call at any time.

Y'know... I'm pretty sure you couldn't have asked me a harder question. As I said I change kernel according to my mood. Almost. I could write an essay about each of these kernels and we still wouldn't have gotten any closer to a clean solution/answer so... Let's say Electra Blue holds the palm.

As I said I've been testing almost each an every Oreo Rom & Kernel but I found approximately zero bugs. I'm confident that it's because I always wiped my whole device before a new ROM flash except for Micro SD and used that specific Magisk 16 vcustom that is extremely stable with Oreo roms. I use this version even today. I'd highly recommend you to give another chance to Oreo and try full wipe/Lineage OS+Magisk 16 vcustom+Electra Blue kernel for massive stability. But I'd not want to talk you out of developing this kernel. These are just my experiences and those are yours.

I use v17.3 magisk it works very well and no bugs so far
Good job OP. This kernel and Lilblinx's Advanced LineageOS rom is a match made in heaven for me. Yeah I too don't like Oreo or Pie yet so I'm sticking with Nougat. Don't mind the "y u no try oreo/pie" people. Keep up the good work.

Is it stable or beta? I don't dare to use beta. You know what they say. If it works you don't want to fix it
No OC/UC/UV/Oreo/Pie

Will there be an OTA from Q beta 6 to the full release?

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere (I'm obviously not searching for the right thing!) but wondered if users on Q beta 6 will receive an official OTA with the full Android 10 release, or whether we'll need to go back to Pie first? I can't be bothered to reset everything
I'm guessing the final Android 10 will be an official OTA once released
We've had an OTA from last beta to official release last year (and for Oreo's beta program it was like that as well iirc), so yes. Anything else worrying you that we could ease?

Nope, that sounds very promising! Cheers
Yes, always an OTA update to turn beta to official. Sometimes just less than 100MB.

Switch from stable to beta

If im in 10.0.6 then im jump to beta 15. Then OP release 10.0.7 so can i jump back?

Will yes as long as the security update is newer. When moving from beta to newer stable it'll delete your data but can be done.

Actually if you get the whole OS release and do a loves upgrade it will not wipe your data.
You can go from stable to beta and back as long as the version is newer AND you use a local upgrade.
