Just installed the latest official Android Pie. Here is a list of things that I have noticed for the pass 24hrs. Oneplus 6 A6000 6GB/64GB.
Battery Life
There is no significant battery improvement or deterioration. Still getting approx. 4hrs30mins SOT with 60% WiFi, 40% Mobile Data most of the time.
Performance
There is no significant speed boost or lag, the phone still behaves the same as Android Oreo. Transitions between apps is still snappy. Using the in-house navigation gesture, I don't like the pill type navigation buttons.
Heat Generation
No significant heating issue, the phone does not warm up while using Facebook/Instagram and gaming on Brawl Stars. I can't comment anything about playing PUBG with it. No heating issues when charging while using it. I don't use my phone under a hot sun, so no comment on that.
Charging Speed
No significant difference. Still manage to boost it from 20%-80% under 40mins.
Brightness
As someone pointed out, I need to raise the brightness bar more to get the same amount of brightness to compared to Android Oreo. I do not use adaptive brightness.
Audio
The loudspeaker seems to have more treble now, and it is quite horrible, it has more hissing sound than before.
Recent App Layout
I hate it. I prefer the vertical layout (Yes you can revert it back to vertical layout by freezing the Oneplus Launcher, or something like that). Locking apps in the recent menu takes a bit more effort now.
Ringtone/Notification/Media Adjustment Layout
The new layout for adjusting the volumes is horrible. I always wind the ringtone volume as sometimes I am in a more quiet environment (No, the alert slider is not the way to go for me). So now in order to adjust the ringtone volume, i had to press the little wheelcog icon after pressing the volume rocker, bring up the volume settings, and then wind the ringtone volume, and it will playback the sound just before i could stop it, which is very annoying. I prefer the Oreo style volume adjustment. The playback is just plain annoying.
Alarm Clock App
The new alarm clock app is horrible. For every new alarm I set, it will require me to change to my favourite alarm sound (because now the default one is Spring, i prefer Alarm_Clock_5).

You forgot to mention good things.
Were there any good things?
I accidentally came here to know if it was even possible for vertical layout for recent apps.
Thanks buddy. +1
Here was my first experience coming from 5.1.8
after updating to android pie on oneplus 6 advanced settings is Missing...and also option to forbid internet access for apps is missing....dese two r very useful essential.. is it hidden r any ways to get it back?
No more advanced reboot menu.
No more xposed
The new nav bar is pretty good! Got used to it almost immediately.
Overall performance is at par with Android O.
Haven't found anything that's substantially new, other than the new UI which is a good welcome change after seeing the previous one for so many years (across all OP devices).

No advanced reboot, face unlock is a bit slower (despite the clean install), it seems there is a problem with some sounds in apps like twitter in silent and vibration mode, and i think that the new settings layout it's pretty confusing...
I noticed i can't install twrp i stuck on "fasboot boot twrp.img" i get a crhasdumb mode. I tried everything like msdownload full phone install with that. Nothin happens. Tried to install pie with via fastboot. Nothing, any helps? (With msdownloader oreo is still working the twrp boot command )
Battery is a little better....
Camera is the same ***** than before, or worse.....
Apart that everything seems to work,,,,
I like it. No issues on mine. Plays gfx intensive games good and less heat, better game mode options, and seems less lag for me
Anyone facing animation issue while disconnecting a call? I am facing it continuously
It was super smooth on oreo
I do like the new quick settings as someone who can't see small print or icons this is a very welcome change. Also like that I can have both battery icon and % on bar, don't know why just my preference to have both.
I don't like that the volume button only controls media over ringtone and no way to change it. I much prefer the old way of the volume settings. OP still has not separated the ringtone from the notification volume control, this point drives me insane.
I've shut off the adaptive brightness, I find it worthless and I don't need Google deciding what they think the brightness level should be for me. Not sure if it was OP or Google, but the initial brightness level was set entirely too low.
I knew it was coming, but still a little miffed that OP didn't put some code back in bringing them back. I hate, absolutely hate that Google took away the different profiles for battery and location. In essence you either turn it on or off for both. I liked the different profile settings on both of these, I don't need nor want everything in location set to High (which is what it is), I want my battery saving setting back. Same goes with the battery, I would like to be able to shut off that adaptive battery and choose my settings like it used to be. I'm not a fan of how they changed the battery usage stats around either.
I'm still waiting on to see if I see any battery savings to this new way, but so far it seems to be more hype than actual real world performance.
The settings menu seems to be a bit disorganized for me with entirely too many submenu's within menus, so IMO it's a bit convoluted.
As for OP, still having issues of 3rd party dialers finding the call settings, they've yet to fix this.
I've installed Nova launcher since the tap off issue is now fixed in P and have all my features I missed so much from prior phones.
Camera quality has gone down

I found a pretty annoying bug regarding the pixel Pil nav bar. Details here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/bug-report-pixel-pil-button-t3845952
The smoothness in the new App switcher is a little buggy. Could be smoother.
Everything else work es fine for me. Battery life seems the same.
Got somebody a issue with Threema? I only get messages when i open the app. I switched on the background processes for Google play Services and Threema and deactivates the battery optimisations but some settings you can toggle in Oreo are gone.

During call, it is very difficult to pull down the notification bar. I need to pull it really towards the center of the screen to keep it there, else it will just roll up again.

I noticed this as well. The portrait mode seems to blur the wrong edges since P.
Ho,
My Recent App Layout was horizontal at the first boot but since the reboot the phone it's in vertical. How Can i change it please ?

Hello,
Recently i upgraded my OnePlus 7 to OxygenOS 11 via OTA, and here is a list of a few annoying bugs(features?) that you'll need to know before upgrading:
(Note: I performed hard reset after upgrading, so any bugs here will be persistent and not because of some fixable issues, unless you are rooted/want to use adb maybe?)
(Also, this is the stock OOS 11, not rooted, and no modifications)
1) I'm not sure if it's just me, but the device heats up much faster. Though the temperatures here are high, I tried to maintain as close to a lab condition as possible, maintaining 30C ambient temp. Evaluation was done with a session of Call of Duty Mobile, and Youtube 4K video loopback test. Avg temps are: CODM : OOS 10: 41C, OOS 11: 45C, Youtube: OOS 10: 37C, OOS 11: 38C
2) Performance hit in games and frame drops (CODM, outside the ambient temperature maintained conditions), could be due to overheating? (As i mentioned, ambient temps are a bit high here). Also SystemUI lags sometimes. Adding to that, trying to bring up notification panel while playing a demanding game (like codm), the SystemUI (notification panel) opening animation is really choppy. (Is there some graphic driver issue?)
3) Brightness slider very slow to respond (seriously? Have to wait for 3 sec for the brightness to come up/go down on manually moving the slider)
4) Again, this one could be only me, but the audio seems to be a bit low after the update. All the ringtones and default notification sounds, with the same volume levels feels lower than how it was on OOS 10.
5) Battery drain - Device heat up and performance issues, translate to higher battery drain
6) This may not be a bug, but it's a change that i don't quite like (at least provide options?) : Double tap to wake doesn't give a vibration feedback like how it used to.
7) Everything, including UI and default font size is bigger than what I'm comfortable with (no, changing the font/display size doesn't give the expected results). But there's a workaround: Changing the display dpi from developer options from 384 to 420.
8) I had several app crashes (Instagram, Photos) even after disabling Android System Webview as suggested by some. But this issue seems to have been fixed magically for now.
9) This is a change, but to actually poweroff/reboot, you will need to reach your finger to the top of the screen with the new UI.
10) DC dimming has been removed
11) Weird QC issue-Someone thought any greyed out field in settings is because it's not supported by phone or HEADSET... Even in Private DNS settings.(See screenshot)
12) Natural colour calibration has a weird yellow tint (sRGB profile works fine tho)
13) Lots of missed/delayed notifications. Many times, notifications from apps like Instagram, Telegram doesn't arrive on time, with delays from 2 minutes to never arriving at all. Whatsapp seems to work most of the time. Sometimes, notifications don't make sound (weird), but only flash on the screen (Yes, I've verified all my notification settings, and I've set everything to make sound)
14) Now this might be a personal preference, but I don't quite like the way OxygenOS is trying to mimic OneUI (Huge heading and small contents beneath? Not my taste.) This style is followed in the phone, messaging, contacts, calculator, etcc
15) Quickly switching between recent apps, there's a split second of a black screen that appear before the app UI is displayed (not complaining, but this was not present in oos10, it seamlessly moved from the preview of the app on the recent apps screen to the actual app ui without any flickering, and no, this is not because of dc dimming being off or anything)
16) Google Play Music is still not removed (seriously, why still have it if it can't be used?)
17) FileDash - No longer has the DNS resolver for one.plus address. You will now have to manually type in the address displayed by filedash in your browser. Also, it still uses 2.4GHz and not 5GHz.
Edits: Added more bugs/missing features
Hem981,
I can confirm #7 is an issue on mine as well.
The power menu is an android 11 change not an OOS change.
I upgraded from OOS 10 to OOS 11 no wipe and don't seem to experience the other issues that you are having, except the obvious changes they made to the firmware. Have you tried clearing the dalvik-cache and rebooting? Mine was super buggy before doing this, but then again I just upgraded without wiping.
One issue I've personally noticed is the cell radios were a lot better on OOS 10, and I'm assuming that is the cause of the battery life to be worse.
Another that could be due to doing some debloating is when I take a screenshot and the little preview pops up in the bottom right corner if i click on it the UI will freeze after clicking back. The Nav buttons still work, like you can click on recents and the recent menu appears, back and home work but the screen is frozen otherwise until I force a reboot.
Yeah, I've tried factory reset and then wiping dalvik-cache... The performance was better before i performed the factory reset, i think. Anyway, there are quite a few games/apps where the performance impact is easily visible. Also, the power button thing is an Android change, but i really hoped OnePlus to have done something to make it more easily accessible (OOS is not pure Android). I couldn't find the issue with the cell radio you mentioned (as I've tried in areas in which i already had poor reception, and the performance was what was expected). Anyway, I really hope some of these (at least the performance, battery drain and the brightness slider issue) will be fixed soon over updates.
(For me, the SOT has gone down from 9.5 hours to 7 hours under similar use cases)
Yeah SOT has definitely taken a hit on mine as well, standby time seems the same. I also have noticed that the screen brightness needs to be set higher for the same brightness as OOS 10. The cell radio sometimes seem normal, but most of the time they are about 5-10 dBm higher at my house. I'll probably give a clean flash a try this weekend to see if it clears up.
One more issue found:
Weird red tint on screen auto dimming
The whole display has a weird red tint just before the device is about to lock/turn off screen after the timeout, when the display dims. It is easily noticeable if you have a white screen displayed. It only happens if you have set the brightness slider to anything other than the bare minimum (even a single step above the minimum brightness is able to replicate this issue)
I found something interesting: issue #3, the brightness slider being slow to respond to changes, seems to be fixed by disabling all animations from developer options. Should the window animator duration scale have any effect on the responsiveness/quickness of display brightness adjustment? I think that's stupid.
Also, I am starting to thing we need something like 0.1x duration scale for the animations (all animations on Android, or at least OOS), because honestly, with each new implementation, the animations are being too slow that it degrades the whole experience. 0.5x feels a bit better, but i really think something like 0.4x would match the animation speed of android 10.
You forgot to mention the vibration motor effect which has deteriorated since the update. The device now feels like any other cheap device.
It's kinda weird in my situation, just upgrading from 10.3.8 using an old version of xXx NoLimits to 11.0.0. The phone was super buggy when I first installed, but after rooting, wiping the delvik cache, debloating, removing the xXx module, and time to settle in the only issues I have are the screenshot popup, and the lower cell signal which I'm sure is causing a hit on battery life.
I was going to reinstall this past weekend, but for the time and inconvenience it's not worth the time compared to the minor issues I have.
Edit: Even the screen resolution seems normal now.
Again, don't know if this is an issue for anyone else (and i don't think OnePlus is going to change this): While everything else became bigger on the phone, the buttons/number keypad for typing in the screen lock pin became too small.

Hi! Oneplus 7 ownere here.
Try to answer all the points:
1) i don't notice any difference between OOS10 and OOS10 on the heat of the phone
2) I don't know for the gaming performance but i don't play any games...overall, the performance are good, no system lags or freeze BUT I have the same issues with the notification...when i tap a notification, I often have delay, maybe it's just the animation but I remember the same issue on a Oneplus 8t that i tried for 20 days in last November
3) same issue here, very annoying
4) not just you, have same issue
5) battery drain is the same in my case, in standby maybe is less than before
6) me too, but maybe they change this as they planned?
7) yes, same thing. i changed the DPI from developer options too
8) no crashes here
9) this is an Android 11 change from Google, maybe they don't want your device to power off ahahah
10) never had this problem luckily
11) don't know, never tried this
12) i noticed this after reading this point, true on my device too
13) i faced the same issue on the notification sound, the other things works fine
14) me too, if i wanted One UI, i would have bought a Samsung...
15) sometimes happens to me, maybe it's bad ram management?
16) this is ridicolous, why they doesn't remove this app??
17) never tried
I also have an issue on the vibration. Now it's HORRIBLE, i have disabled because it's unusable
So, this is my question: change phone or rollback on android 10?
There's one more addition to the list: Always on display sometimes seems to override the notification lockscreen privacy settings. I have some notifications put as "view private content only when unlocked", but the notification contents are visible just when it arrives on the always on display (though it's content is hidden in the actual lockscreen)
I've reported almost all of these bugs, and hopefully we will see new updates fixing most of these.
Can someone on OOS 10 on OnePlus 7 confirm if the "style preferences" settings in sound settings is greyed out while the output is phone speakers (or no other sound output devices connected)?
New hotfix patch OTA rolling out now...
Here is what's fixed and what's not:
1,2 : Yet to test
3: Not fixed
4:Fixed
5: Yet to test
6: No changes
7: No changes(or not easily noticeable maybe?)
8: Not encountered any "ghost" app crashes yet
9: No change
10: DC Dimming is not back, so no change
11: Not fixed Is it that hard to remove 'headset' text from the UI?
12: Don't know if it's because my eyes adjusted to it, but it seems a bit better now
13: Not yet tested
14: What can I say?
15: Fixed
16: The ghost of Google Play Music still remains
17: Not fixed
Edits: Nothing much is fixed
Performance: Marginal improvements
SoT/Battery: Even worse. Getting almost half the SoT I got on OOS 10 under similar use case and network/tenperature conditions
Ghost app crashes reduced a lot (that might be the only fix) , but is not completely gone (saw that 1 or 2 times)
Haptics is still as bad as before
I'm just worried about this weired bug which has rendered my parallel whatsapp very difficult to use to share media. Any fix for this is highly appreciated - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/whatsapp-media-problem.1411292/
Thanks and regards
OOS11 - Stable
I have no problems on my device until now (for games I dont know why I do not play)
I noticed, because I have tried both roms(beta4 & stable).Open Beta4 has better "battery management" than stable! Αs strange as it may seem but is a real for me..
Well yes .Battery drain higher than openbeta4
wifi works fine to 5ghz band & generally my device works quite well so far. Patience is needed and all problems will be fixed...
https://postimg.cc/gallery/YtQpVDm
After the recent OS 11 update ,the media in my device ( photos and videos) not being shown properly in Whatsapp. Some of the videos and pictures which I've already deleted in the gallery are appearing again only in whatsapp in unsupported file format.
I'll be glad if someone confirms that it's a bug in OOS 11.0.2 and that my phone is not the only one which is affected.
I'm using WhatsApp and Parallel Whatsapp. Also have setup a Work/Office profile on my phone.
Does anyone have any solution to this issue?
Thanks and regards!
For me, wifi no longer works. Whenever I try to enable it, it just immediately turns off. It also no longer recognizes my SIM card.

Try wiping cache from recovery
Update 11.0.1.1
I feel like this is a big joke.
Even more battery drain (yes, i did a factory reset).
Brightness slider issue still not fixed.
Performance still degraded (but i think there is a little bit of improvement)
Not sure about Wifi issues as i never had them.
Weird red tint on screen dimming
Still many ugly and inconsistent ui elements
Color profile is back to being broken (the yellow tint returned)
Update: I've started having the wifi disconnection issues, after 11.0.1.1 update. This is way too annoying.

@DarkJoker360
Bug report 16: 07 build/14 build
- when using recents menu there is times that I'll be swiping off some apps and the preview of that app will stick there as I'm swiping it off, I'll post a reference when possible
- screen off animation still fades out to the top right and bugged
- battery style options not added for QS, cannot see battery at all now lol I use a widget on the homescreen or always on display to check battery status
- I'm lovin the graphics update it's like you turned on the lights for the rom, turn it up a bit more
- The 07 build was the most accurate and speedy release in terms of performance and graphics, the 12/14 build you released seems great as well, the only issue is that there's a dramatic difference in GPU speed I guess, I'm sure everything is optimized and in perfect working order so don't think it could be anything to do with an error occurring, whenever scrolling through and launching apps you can see the system start lagging like the device is running slow, I'd say turn up the GPU speed
- The ram available has now decreased to 5.1Gb and that's with no apps running on the previous releases there was about 6.1Gb to 6.5Gb
Update:
The ROM is now running perfect and 7Gb of ram available
@DarkJoker360 end game on this update tbh
@DarkJoker360 I'd say to overclock the CPU a bit more, I have a OnePlus 8 here and seems like it's a bit faster vs the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren running your rom, overclock like +500mhz/1000mhz more lol let's see what greatness you can bring in the next update
Take a look at this PhoneArena article, they are claiming that the next Android 15 release will be called VanillaIceCream and that the next releases may be returning android to KitKat and Oreo... IMO if that's the case from what I've observed those releases were more about OS framework such as system UI, design, animation... After android 9 seems like it became more about developing/building more of and about the android OS, features, compatibility, implementations
Android 15 will be a plain vanilla release
Android 15 V will have the dessert nickname of Vanilla Ice Cream and it is already being used in Android Open Source Project documentation.

At this point this device is better than the iPhone 13 series imo, much better design in terms of the screen, oneplus should've followed this path of design instead of their ugly new flagships, the punch holes in a screen look trash on any device, and their concept with the camera looks horrible makes the phone bulky

Spoiler: Unresponsiveness explanation
When I bought this phone the logic board was the only issue CPU/GPU and other hardware were broken including front and rear camera and fingerprint sensor not working, and the logic board overheating constantly, the rest of the device is basically BNIB condition including the screen, I replaced the logic board with another 7T Pro McLaren parts device I purchased, the screen was fully smashed on that device, the board and all other components were working afterwards, all other components were replaced with the 7T Pro McLaren parts devices components as well, never had any issue, cameras are working, sensors working perfectly, battery lasts 15hrs on stock rom and with this rom, everything is flawless... The fingerprint sensor is either broken or may need resyncing as this is not the same logic board as previous, the previous logic board had all these issues as I mentioned, and including the same issue with the fingerprint sensor as well which leads me to believe that the fingerprint sensor is actually just broken internally, may be burnt out somehow, I don't know because I wasn't told any details of what may have happened to this device previously, I'm very certain it was water damage though because I checked all the components and there was residue on the previous logic board CPU/GPU, the other components however were not affected although I replaced all the components anyways so basically a brand new device... Unfortunately this device has no access to the fingerprint scanner internally, it is completely sealed in the device housing and cannot replace it without prying the entire front screen off... For these past several months that I've owned this device I kept the fingerprint scanner connected to the board via it's connector in hopes that it would start working again, it did not, although the system does recognize that there's a fingerprint scanner connected... Tried to recalibrate it as well with some of the methods on xda and always getting errors along the lines of CALIBRATION FAILED, fingerprint sensor not responding... At this point I have disconnected the fingerprint scanner and my system actually runs much smoother, the unresponsiveness issues were coming from the fingerprint scanner being connected this entire time... Regardless there is no issue with my device what so ever now and my device board and components function 100% and flawless, at least I have a fully working device with face unlock and all it's greatness as it's special edition
NOTIFICATION ISSUE AND SOME PERFORMANCE ISSUES RESOLVED:
IMPORTANT: The notification issue was coming from a battery optimizing feature in settings in Battery>Battery optimization, all apps are set to "Optimise" by default when you install the ROM, not sure if the dev knows this or not. There's no option to set all the apps not to be optimized so you have to set each and all apps manually to "Don't optimise" that will resolve the notification issue, my notifications are now working perfectly. I noticed that this also resolved a lot of performance issues as well, such as the system lagging and unresponsiveness, the system now performs way faster and lag free. I noticed something that cannot be resolved is that this notification issue will still start occurring again automatically when the device is at 15%/20%, so just for the dev to know and look into. THE ROM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH THIS FUNCTION, FOLLOW THE STEPS AND MAKE SURE NO APP IS USING OPTIMIZATION
Spoiler: Request
@DarkJoker360, would like to make a request to create this notification effect if possible... So it would be an option in crdroid settings/notifications, I thought you had this option already but doesn't seem so. So the request is: When a user has pop up notifications enabled and they get a notification it will of course pop up at the top AND also have an icon and text of what the notification is in the status bar... Whenever I disable the pop up notifications and I get a notification it will show the icon of the notification at the top and notify me of it, but there's no text of what the app is or what the notification is, would it be possible to then add an option in crdroid settings that would enable notifications to have text in the status bar as it would be with pop up notifications except, with pop up notifications disabled, the final product would be: whenever the user gets a notification it would have the icon and text pop up in the status bar and nothing else... I have created a reference here check it out, regular notifications, and new notifications I'm mentioning, I edited it to exactly what it should be
So basically just disable the pop up and keep the icon and text notification that displays in the status bar

Bug report 15: 04/06/2023
- there's a lot of flicker when scrolling through some things in the system, noticable generally but some apps don't have AS MUCH flicker, such as the browser on Google search results scrolling through its not AS NOTICABLE, most of the flicker is through system apps such as settings, google now page that has all the news, reference below
- screen off animation is bugged, it fades out to the top right of the device, and actually moves higher and lower
- the battery style options for QS is still not in the menu why have you removed it, would like the battery indicator to show in QS and not follow the status bar style
- the status bar is unresponsive at times, I have to swipe twice in order to scroll down and get in to the notification center/qs
- I feel like the rom is definitely there speed wise, in previous builds there were actual issues where the responsiveness and system speeds weren't so great, now the responsiveness and system speeds are great, the graphics and 90hz performance can be improved though; physical graphics performance is one thing that I'm mentioning, maybe a GUI, system animations performance update as well
- everything is stable though that's one thing for sure great experience throughout the general use of the rom
Spoiler: Bug report 14
Bug report 14: build 03/31/2023
- crdroid settings are back, last build was probably an error preventing some of the modifications to run...
- in the quick settings tab in crdroid settings there are some things that were removed, not sure of everything, I know for sure that the quick settings battery indicator option was removed, I usually set battery to hidden on the status bar and visible in quick settings...
- android system intelligences crashing still I'll post the link when possible https://paste.crdroid.net/5VCRyR https://paste.crdroid.net/17myYs
- screen off animation still bugged, it fades out to the top right corner of the device, and moves higher and lower at times

Bug report 13: build 03/25/2023
- many settings are missing including status bar customizations, monet settings, I'm sure you're aware of this would be great to see these settings re-added in the next update
- Settings/Notifications and Battery, are not accessible, when tapping on the Notifications, and Battery menu in settings it FCs...
- Android System Intelligence stopped working is being prompted at times when unlocking from the lockscreen and general use
- screen lock fades out improperly still, it actually fades out higher and lower at times...
I installed 9.3 alpha in a new install, not from the updater I'll update with any other bugs
@DarkJoker360 just letting you know any other settings cannot be located, crdroid settings section is not in the settings app, I think you know that though because I see you've added some settings directly in the sections instead of them being seperate in the crdroid settings menu. There's still a lot of settings I cannot find in the settings app that were in the previous build, this is alpha so take your time.
Spoiler: Bug report 12
Bug report 11: Feb 17/24
At this point I never want to update the ROM again. I updated to the Feb 17 build and I'm done, talk about speed and accuracy, great experience the 9.2 build has to be the ultimate release.
I updated the ROM through the updater and it worked flawlessly, just takes a lot of time to finalize, over 45 mins - an hour to finalize fell asleep during the process and woke up to it prompting me to reboot.
- The new 9.2 update screen off animation fades out to the volume control switch instead of the power button as it was corrected previously
- the location/privacy indicators at the top right are still cut out, the green dot isn't although when it expands and shows the larger icon like the actual location icon it's still cut out at the top right. May to to reposition the status bar icons and time
Update:
- I'll reinstall a fresh copy of the ROM from recovery to see if that fixes it, the fade out effect was fading out to the volume switch as mentioned before, now it's fading out even higher than that for some reason. This is after the Feb 24 update... I suggest that maybe you can make options for different fade out effects in crdroid settings. So default would be to fade out to the power button, then switch it up a bit have options to fade out upwards or downwards on the screen, opposite side, or fade out toward the middle of the screen would be nice...
- don't really like the blur that was added, would be a good option through crdroid settings, but since it was added and cannot be modified in terms of strength, seems and feels generic
@DarkJoker360
- Checked out the iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 pro models, this device is basically just as good if not better than the iPhone 14, the difference with an iPhone 14 pro however would be that the screen is 120hz. I feel like this ROM outperforms the iPhone 14 though, the 90hz on the iPhone 14 feels slow now that I did some more research though I'm pretty sure the iPhone 14 is 60hz so much inaccurate information out there since it's release, and from stock oos11 I feel it's the same experience that the device feels slower than it should be, with this ROM it's so accurate if you put it beside the iPhone 14/14 pro you'd think this device is 100hz. The only thing is the brightness on this device actually seems a bit low, as I turn on outdoor mode looks much better, outdoor mode and lower the brightness a bit. Might want to adjust brightness a bit
- Reticker is fine, is there any other effects you can add for the notifications, like a fade in and fade out effect
- I notice the system and screen actually becomes faster everytime I plug in a charger to this device, not sure if it's with all McLarens, or something to do with the ROM
Spoiler: Bug report 11
@DarkJoker360
Bug report 11: Feb 03
- Android system intelligence crashes at random times, does not affect any thing just get the notification, reference below
- The system is super fast, touch responsiveness and flicker issues I mentioned were resolved
- Seems like there's a tad bit of flicker with the touch...
- At this point the 90hz experience doesn't get any better, the way you set it up for this build is ultra fast, responsive, and acceptably smooth in my opinion...
- Recents menu crashing again, worse this time it crashes after a few quick swipes, completely glitched; happens everytime I use recents
- There's a clear button that can be enabled through crdroid settings, I've enabled it and the clear button actually displays on ambient display and the lockscreen. This occurs when you swipe into the notification center while the device is unlocked, and while in that menu, lock the device, the clear all button will remain at the bottom of the screen and be usable on the ambient display and lockscreen
- The battery life is pretty bad now decreases fast, not sure if its from some of the optimizations maybe something's causing it. If its from overclocking the cpu/gpu or increasing the clock speeds from the normal levels you had in previous builds, I'd say to decrease it a bit then IMO previously would have at least almost 15 hrs of usage, now about 9 hrs
Overall I've noticed that with this builds responsiveness and updates, the graphics processes much better than all other builds you've released, the battery life could be improved though

@DarkJoker360
Bug report 10: Jan 27
- The screen flicker seems to be resolved, the system doesn't feel as snappy as the previous build though, there should be an intensity increase to have a snappy and speedy experience, for example: when I enter in my password on the lockscreen, whenever pressing each digit it would literally look and feel very snappy like there's a pop upon pressing the digits, same thing with using the keyboard, and general system UI use... On this build it's like the screen flicker has been greatly reduced, although does feel a bit slower in terms of snappy and responsiveness to the touch like it has a lag of some sort
- The overall system FPS is actually reducing more often, it's able to stay at 90 FPS although decreases to 88, and 85 lowest 78 more often, the system never did this in the previous build and I can confirm that with hours of usage with an FPS indicator, it's almost like it never hit 85 and lower anytime on the previous build
- location/privacy indicators at the top right are still cut out at the top right edge of the screen
Update:
I'm not using a live wallpaper btw in case you would be speculating that... This build is super fast no doubt about that, the touch lag is quite annoying though, it's like I'm using the system UI and anything I tap is literally delayed by a millisecond
Spoiler: Bug report 9
Bug report 9: Jan 20
This Jan 20 release is basically a checkpoint, most stable and high speed build.
- The location sensor notification is still partly cut out from the top right edge of the device
- There's a setting that comes with the OnePlus settings for anti flicker, which does make a big difference, is there any way to turn up this anti flicker setting to strengthen its reduction. I still notice the screens small flicker
- Is there any way to increase the overall FPS, if so there can be a drastic change visually, I see it can normally hit a solid 90 and can decrease to just below 88 in some apps. If you can unlock the frame rate cap to hit a higher number that would be nice, 90 all throughout AnTuTu benchmark and is impressive
Spoiler: Bug report 8
@DarkJoker360
Bug report 8: Jan 14
- Not sure if it's just me, the Jan 14 build feels slower than usual, the last Dec 30/Jan 08 build was a much better experience, although I'm saying that, this Jan 14 build is the most stable and fully functional, overall would say a tune up is needed to get that ultra fast feeling and experience, I want the phone to feel like a s22 ultra
- auto brightness is great but not perfect still, the transition from brightness levels can be choppy
- The shorts or TikTok clips has been resolved...
- Discord is now having trouble playing clips whevener I tap to view it will just show that it's loading
- I noticed the status bar items clock, wifi, mobile data has been repositioned, might want to slightly reposition it a bit more because the location notification is a bit cut off from the edge of the screen at the top right

@DarkJoker360
Bug report 7: Dec 30/Jan 06 build
- The network issues were resolved in the Dec 03 build... I just installed the new Dec 30/just installed the Jan 06 build afterwards and the network issues are occurring worse than ever, shorts not working, reels, TikTok, etc... Reference included below
- The Dec 30 build has to be the best build yet in terms of speed and smoothness despite the network issues, I beg you not to change anything in future builds not sure if the Jan 06 build is different although the Dec 30 build was the best experience by far... Jan 06 feels like you've reverted it a bit, funny thing is I couldn't tell if the Dec 30 build was an overclock or something but by far was the best 90hz/FPS speed and smoothness experience
Spoiler: Bug report 6
Bug Report 6: 12/20/2022
- Flashlight seems a bit too bright, could burn internally
- CPU/GPU could not be increased, I was wrong last report, if you did increase the levels for this update I'd recommend to keep CPU/GPU levels the same as previous builds was perfect, this build seems like battery is decreasing fast... Definitely needs to be decreased to normal levels... Or if possible make a toggle for high performance and normal performance, it's actually not too good to overclock this specific device to a high value because it could lead to hardware issues and screen burning, further more could kill the screen, my device is in perfect working condition and the screen is perfect and flawless...
- Device is still being recognized as a Pixel 5 by services
- Swiping off apps fast in the recents menu will FC the system UI and kick to the lockscreen
- Gapps still doesn't work properly from the NikGapps website, I have a perfect Gapps package though, Google assistant works as well
- Sound is WAY to low
- The previous recents menu problem is one thing although there another issue as well, so there are times I'll be normally swiping off all the apps, and when they're all cleared, by the last one, it will also FC the system UI and kick me to the lockscreen
I noticed with all previous builds that if they're used for a long period of time, like over a month, the ROM will start becoming slower and actually a bit unstable, as in some of the UI and functions will start becoming glitchy... Not sure if it's a system cache issue, temporary files, configs
Spoiler: Bug report 5
Bug report 5, Dec. 3 build:
- CPU/GPU can be turned up a bit
- auto brightness still doesn't transition through brightness levels smoothly, I'll be using the device and brightness increases or decreases without effect, I do see a difference though in the new update, still needs work
- the device operates quite slow during a call whether I'm on speaker phone or not, apps are slow, menus are slow
- embedded videos and shorts still have the same issue where they cannot load or freeze
and can only hear audio
- google assistant recognizes the device as a Pixel 5, and referrs to it as a Pixel 5, it was letting me know the morning forecast and gave me a heads up that my Pixel 5 is at 38% and needs charging
- the clock system icon should be a live animation of the time, it's not functioning properly and frozen at different times
- some weird thing happens where I will lock my device and after let's say 10 mins I turn on the display from the power button and cannot unlock my phone, the lockscreen doesn't load up, the lockscreen is blank with my wallpaper or at times blank without a wallpaper and not usable, there's no options, can't swipe to my password, just blank and have to restart the system... Is actually a big problem happens every so often, screenshot below
- Everything works flawless in terms of UI although I do feel that now some things can be optimized to make the UI and system feel more interactive and snappy than it already is...
@DarkJoker360
So funny thing is that NikGapps google assistant actually still doesn't work if you download it from the NikGapps website, I confirmed that because I factory reset and installed the new Dec. 3 build a week ago and thought it would be a good idea if I just downloaded the latest Dec. Package of NikGapps, well it wasn't, and actually the newest package of NikGapps actually causes the ROM to glitch and assistant doesn't work with the same error that it's not compatible with this device. What I ended up doing was then factory resetting and reinstalling the ROM again, this time I used the previous NikGapps build I downloaded on Nov. 25, booted in to the system and the setup was flawless, Gapps were flawless, system works flawless, google assistant works no problem with that Gapps build. I would recommend that you would make your own Gapps package in that case, that's totally up to you though... If you would like me to upload the build that I have that works perfectly let me know
Spoiler: Bug report 4
Bug report 4: 11/18/22 build
- I installed the ROM with a factory reset, downloaded newest Gapps available and installed it, when the ROM booted in, the setup was force closing at connecting to a wifi network, and Google play services were not working properly at all, many force closes. Turns out the latest Gapps on nikgapps website doesn't work with this ROM for now, just a heads up. I resolved the issue by reinstalling the ROM and using the nikgapps package I downloaded on 11/10/22 and that worked. The rom works great
- the network issues with embeded videos and shorts not loading or freezing is still an issue
- the notification problem still occurs where I cannot receive any notifications at all, if I disable and enable wifi and reconnect it refreshes the queue/syncs/idk and notifys me with a bunch of notifications that were not showing up previously and works properly although after exactly every 30 mins it starts occurring again and cannot receive any notifications from any other apps except some system apps like text messages... Lol very strange problem
- when unlocking the device without a passcode lock set up, the lockscreen transitions in to the home screen, and has no effect/animation, just directly moves from one page to the other without a transition effect/animation
- system UI glitch: when using the recents menu to kill some apps, I'll swipe like a few apps off and the whole system force closes and boots me to the lockscreen
This new build is much more stable than any other builds though
If I didn't list anything from the last bug reports then it's most likely resolved
Spoiler: Bug report 3
Bug report 3: 11/11/22 build
- proximity sensor has issues when turning on the display from in use, it does not fade in, but lags back in... It could normally fade in at times though
- proximity sensor could slow down the system while in use at anytime
- network issues such as videos not loading at all, videos freezing and can only hear audio, in discord channel videos, TikTok clips, YouTube shorts, article page videos... Anything like normal YouTube videos/normal videos that are not embedded, thumbnails, shorts, work perfectly
- auto brightness works perfectly although does not transition smoothly will just move solid from one brightness to another without a transition effect, that is only at times though
- crdroid settings: navigation bar option does not work, turning it off or on does not affect anything visually, it disables the back gestures
- battery estimate replaces the battery percent and has to be disabled in order to show the battery percentage in QS panel; would be good if I can see battery percent and battery estimate
- the screen on and off animation should fade in and out coresponding to the power button location on the device. The reasoning for this is because on the Pixel 7 Pro the animation fades in and out from the power button location
- As a known issue I've noticed from each build, proximity sensor does cause a lot of lag/system glitches if it's in use or not working properly... So to keep it as reference although doesn't really affect usage experience because it performs flawlessly during general use...
- Live caption does not work and prompts that an update is required. "Update your software to enable this feature." the update cannot be downloaded
New: - I have a phone mount and use my phone in landscape mode at times for YouTube videos, I use the auto rotate/portrait option, normally I have it in portrait mode, I had my phone in landscape oreintation with the mount for a long period of time probably about 15 mins, and was on the homescreen but my phone is set to portrait mode, so homescreen is still displaying in portrait mode in a landscape orientation with the mount, the phone started becoming a little bit hotter than usual, definitely nothing to worry about though, and I opened an app still in landscape mode, I rotated it with the manual option and noticed my phone was running ultra slow... I took my device off of the mount and swiped to the homescreen, the entire device was ultra slow, lagging, and unresponsive. I restarted the device and it solved the issue. Gyroscope sensor issue
- I put my device in my pocket and seems to heat up a bit after a while, I have to restart it to resolve
New:
- whenever I copy and paste text, it doesn't bring the options up as soon as I select the text, instead it highlights the text and shows no options, I have to then hold down on the text in order to get options for it
- my notifications are always delayed and can never receive a message in time/any notifications, I don't seem to be receiving all the notifications as usual, checked all the settings for apps and notification settings and is good to me nothing that looks like it can be causing that, very anoying and cannot be resolved, I'll just wait till the next build and reinstall then lol not sure what's causing it, like I'm getting notifications I should've got previously a day after
IMPORTANT: The notification problem seems to be coming from something in wifi, if I disable wifi and enable wifi I will get all the notifications that I'm not receiving... it's like the notifications are in queue and when I disable and enable the wifi again it sends all/whole bunch of the notifications that I haven't received. @DarkJoker360 --PARTLY RESOLVED: There wasn't any settings that look to be causing that although I disabled Unlimited photos storage, alert slider notifications, noisy notifications, and my notifications are working now although the same issue starts happening and I have to disable and enable the wifi in order to refresh my notifications and receive them, I timed how long before the issue starts occurring again, the issue starts occurring exactly every 30 mins, previously there was no way to resolve this... Strange issue
I can say that the first build did not have these network issues where it did not load up TikTok clips, YouTube shorts, discord channel clips, and page embedded clips, etc... This 11/11/22 build is the most stable by far though.
Spoiler: Bug report 2
Bug report 2: November build 11/02/2022
The new build is great much better than the previous of course, graphics is great as well some issues though, on a fresh install, tested from the release
The ROM needs face unlock
Update: 11/10 - November build 11/02/2022
The issues in terms of slow system speeds have been resolved, there's some power saving options which were enabled and I have disabled them from the settings and the device is now working extremely better. I disabled battery saver and the options associated with it, along with disabling the battery manager option as well
Dynamic System Update does work and perfectly. For users that are looking for a complete stock rom, that would be a great way to run it. It's completely vanilla. The google services work on DSU as well as the "Hey Google" function for the assistant.
Overall after I have disabled all power saving options through settings the graphics are stable and working perfectly, the unresponsiveness does occur though that's one thing as well, I have noted the bugs that are still occuring in the list. The issues that I listed about slow system speeds still could occur, so keep that as a reference, the network issues and whatever else I listed definitely should be addressed as well, some apps cannot properly load up things and uploading is unavailable in a lot of apps now... Proximity sensor works perfectly although still has issues... Of course I will factory reset and install the newest build you've uploaded soon
- google assistant "Hey Google" feature is incompatible with this device
- the bug is that while scrolling it's lagging a bit/flickering/unresponsive at times like when entering my passcode on lockscreen is unresponsive, scrolling through apps, inside pages and anything in the system, could be the clock of the gpu, noticed the anti flicker option in livedisplay settings and does make a difference although still is an issue on the new build there must be something you can do to reduce it and make the graphics perfect, in terms of that needs a lot of work reference below --in terms of the flickering that's resolved after disabling the power saving options, the unresponsiveness still occurs
- this builds graphics are definitely an improvement overall, the graphics drivers from the last build were much smoother and responsive though. On this build when navigating through the system menus fast and typing the touch screen becomes unresponsive. i.e I could be typing something and the touch will go unresponsive for a sec and miss a key, in terms of that needs a lot of work --still occurring
- around the homescreen app drawer search panel is fully filled out while scrolling into it, then when inside the app drawer the filled out space disappears, reference below is a system UI glitch
- whether I select the navigation bar option in crdroid settings to be enabled or not, it doesn't affect anything
- pocket detection is really invasive while enabled at least get rid of that annoying detection notification that triggers everytime I cover the sensor lol
- full screen apps not showing up in the list
- both top side corners of the notification center has an uncolored area noticable most in dark mode
- auto brightness works great at anytime, it will start switching brightness levels constantly though at times
Update:
- system animations seem slower, lagging/may not work properly as well, i.e proximity sensor will normally fade back in to the system from the screen being inactive, instead of fading in, it transitions from low brightness to the current brightness level and lags back in to the system
- to sum it up there's a lot of graphics issues which are mostly to do with unresponsiveness and lag
- network error, some apps that use the wifi/LTE start buffering and videos are not loading, I cannot upload any files on XDA. i.e youtube or tiktok starts not loading videos anymore or freezing on playbacks and only audio can be heard
- does the clock of the cpu/gpu increase when the charger is plugged in? The device feels way faster and better in performance when a charger is connected, or could just be me --still occuring
- when there are many notifications and I'm swiping them off the animation will lag before it's completely removed, if there are very few notifications it will swipe them off normally and with a smooth animation
- whenever receiving a call and using the device it will lag and become unresponsive, such as typing something and receiving a call, the screen will be unusable and usable, while receiving the call and it shows the notification to answer it
- if the proximity sensor is being used/in a call and using the device on speaker, the device will function very slow and choppy
- proximity sensor stops working after many calls, when I'm in a call the proximity sensor will stop responding although still able to continue the call, a restart is needed to resolve the issue

Spoiler: Bug report 1
Bug report 1:
I've factory reset the ROM and reinstalled it just so that I can make sure that it is fully functional and to have a fresh install on my device, more of the bugs that I was experiencing have been resolved although there are still all of the bugs that I have listed here. The second install is much better and the ROM is running much smoother and functional than previously.
- custom screen off animation in crdroid settings does not work, does not change anything even prior to a restart
- clock style selection works, except for hidden, when hidden is selected it force closes from that menu in crdroid settings and reverts it to the previous selection
- clock keeps disappearing after unlocking the device from the lockscreen/keeps disappearing when using apps that hide the status bar, other status bar icons disappear as well after navigating back to the home screen
- Google assistant "Hey Google" function is not supported, installed Gapps with Google play services, Google assistant does not work at all with this rom, the new Continued Converstation feature was recently introduced as well
new:
- proximity sensor has some kind of issue could be in use for no reason during system use and covered it with my hand while scrolling through apps, turns the screen brightness full and disables brightness control of the system, moving the brightness to any value won't work anymore, a restart cannot fix it either strangely. If the you make a phone call and cover the proximity sensor to make the screen inactive and uncover it to active, it will solve the issue and bring the brightness control back to normal and usable. --resolved after factory reset and install
- The stock screen off/on animation should be adjusted, it fades out to the top right corner of the phone, I believe it should fade out to the power button location of this device
- system ui/framework tune ups are needed I feel like there could be some mods/android 13 features that interfere with general functionality, like tapping and going in to different menus and apps could experience any sort of small glitch to occur...
- at times I need to restart the device because everything starts lagging after keeping the device powered on for a day or so, could be the memory becoming full and requires a restart, after a restart it works smooth again
- reTicker notifications sometimes show up transparent looks bugged, that's with the use app colored background enabled
- it's noticable after a while, if you take a look at the top of the notification center the edges for it have some white discoloring not sure if it's from the dev or google, reference in screenshot with no notifications, take a look at the edges of the notification center
- fullscreen apps not displaying in menu
- system management improvements are needed the rom starts lagging at times
Nothing else
Suggestions:
- status bar icons positioning, such as to reposition wifi and cell service to center, left, or right.
- add some more fonts such as segoe ui
- reTicker settings, for text size, notification colors, animations
- change all text colors in system option, along with monet settings I guess
- option to make status bar inaccessible in lockscreen
- wallpaper motion effect
- resize the area for quick pulldown to a smaller area
- make the back gesture resized as well for the upper or lower sides of the device or back gesture sensitivity decrease/increase options, everytime I swipe to get to the left more options panel of an app I cannot and have to tap it instead
- I know we cannot overclock the screen from 90hz to 100hz-120hz , force peak refresh rate is one option, is there any way to make the screen more responsive... through a driver mod... I notice that with custom monet settings I'm able to speed up the ROM and display responsiveness/fps
- ambient display custom brightness setting would be great
- add seconds to the lockscreen clock
- brief notification/option in notification menu to undo the last cleared notification. I.e if I swipe a notification off fast and did not read it, would be annoying and would like to undo that so it appears again. --google has added a notification center history option in settings though which is convenient
- notification center clear all button counts how many notifications were cleared. Would make this a crdroid settings option
- option to change status bar icon colors wifi, mobile...
Update:
- options to switch to low profile battery saving mode or high gpu/cpu clock for performance
- reticker animations do not fade out at times, would look nice if the animation can fade in and fade out

- automatic pin unlock, whenever I enter my pin I have to confirm it in order to unlock the device
- opacity adjustment of home screen widgets and applications
- The face unlock automatic scan is the normal and usual face unlock... Is it possible to create a function to enable a manual face unlock, so if you always want to use your pincode instead of both face unlock+pincode, you can either have the option to enter your pincode, or from the lockscreen, select a face unlock option
The ROM is definitely perfect though considering all other roms are mostly buggy and don't seem to function properly in general, xtended v2 does not work on this device, aside from that would recommend this rom over others considering all other roms are completely bugged and not worth to install
Have your cdroid 13 recovery flashed to both slots. I keep getting error and the process aborts when a attempt to sideload the ROM zip. I tried sideloading the copy partitions zip and it was successful. It says there is a problem with the Rom zip when I attempt to sideload it though. Any ideas?

Flash stock oos11 with MSM tool and system update before flashing crdroid otherwise will get errors
Redownload the crdroid ROM and follow the devs guide
Yes sir. That was what I had to do to get your Android 12.1 running. Thank you.
Msm tool is erroring out at 6 seconds. Showing No valid trg ID and param preload.
It's all my fault. Been trying to make this happen on my 7 pro instead of my 7t pro. Love your builds and the fact that I can make the icons big as hell.
Is the option to not have the phone show up as a Pixel 6 Pro no longer a toggle?
The rom is now official. You can dirty flash from previous 9.0 build but NOT from 8.x build
Omg it's like I have a new phone! The T-mo branding trash is gone.. great work!
Can anyone tell me if androids hearing aid support is in this ROM? Under accessibility
decided to flash it anyway, yes it has it, thanks. brand new phone! thank you for your efforts! looking forward to more releases!
Anyone else see this camera bug when turning phone to landscape? Or is it not a bug? Edit: only does it when double pressing the power button to open camera from screen off
im having a slight issue of the play store giving me a you are offline warning despite being on either wifi or lte i tried clearing storage and cache on the play store and play services and updating both but neither worked

Hi, just downloaded the ROM and am very happy with it. I have noticed some minor bugs/issues that you might want to look into:
1) The status bar does not adapt to the color of certain apps, making it feel a little janky
2) When using gesture navigation, swiping from the edges to go back brings out the status bar first before allowing the user to go back, effectively making it redundant and less smooth. It also feels as if the gestures are not as responsive as it should be, working only 80% of the time
3) The status bar clock and date sometimes disappears, reappearing only after pulling down the status bar (mine is centered)
4) When using fingerprint to unlock the phone, the whole screen lights up, instead of just the area where the fingerprint sensor is, which is mildly annoying and does somewhat hurt the eyes
5) I am currently on the October 13 build, and am unable to upgrade to the December 20 build as it stays at "finalizing package installation" whenever I try to install it, with no progress whatsoever. After some time, the system updater crashes, and I have to reboot the phone
I can provide a log from matlog if needed. If there are more specific instructions, I would gladly try to oblige. Do not expect too much of me, as I am not a dev by any means, just a dude interested in breaking his phone.
Cheers!
