I'm on it since this morning, pretty much the same I'd say, the change-log has a few things like swipe to dismiss notifications on lockscreen and a few bugfixes.

How is your experience with the temperature & battery life? Can you share some screenshots of your SOT? Did the bugs at V8.2.1.0 finally fixed in V8.2.4.0?

Bet this rom weighs more than an average car....

I was using stock 8.2.1 Global Stable. After auto-updating to 8.2.4, had sound glitches, unlock lag and Telegram bugs I've never seen before. I don't recommend to migrate to this version from 8.2.1.

I haven't had any sound glitches or unlock lag (I don't use telegram).
As for battery life it's great, 2 days use, 6 hours SOT so far and I have 50% battery left (4G on all the time).

5th day with the phone. i got it update it to 8.2.4, charged it, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp/root and i had about 10 hours sot during a 3 day period on 2g and a little 3g and wifi disable when screen is off. those 10 hours included a lot of restarts that consume energy a lot of copying things via wifi browsing messenging and a few calls. no problems so far hope i helped.

This update don't bring big changes. Don't understand why you afraid of update. All work's fine including battery life and performances.

Upd:
1. Sound issues and Telegram bugs - no more. One-time glitch?
2. Usual Xiaomi micro-lags when switching apps seem to disappear. So 8.2.4.0 feels way more smooth for me.
3. Battery life - no noticeable changes.
4. MiPicks app added along with annoying ads.

I wonder Why eu version not yet published ?

Sorry for this silly question, how can i update to 8.2.4 if I have TWRP recovery? Can I just take OTA update or do I need to flash the zip file via TWRP?

You'll have to flash via TWRP cause the OTA uses the built in Xiaomi recovery (which you dont have anymore since you installed TWRP).

xiaomi.eu is based on the china rom, not the global. they won't release until there's an official release for the CN rom.

Thanks for your reply. Another question, do I need wipe anything before flash this rom? And also do ineed to root it again after flash the rom?

Yeah you should wipe the cache and davlik cache at least before flashing the new rom. Full wipe would be best.
To get root you'll have to re-flash the super su zip file after you flash the rom.

Re' 8.2.4.0 global
Just did a clean full wipe and flashed epic zip again for another try, though I still have noticeable battery drain.
Thinking of going 8.2.4.(and then uninstalling a few apps n' make a few minor mods for better battery life)
I have twrp installed, read somewhere I can not get rom updates via OTA due to this. (As MIUI recovery is needed for update?) Is that true?
In which case does that mean when there is a new global rom update, and I flash zip in twrp(if that's the case) I would lose my settings and aps? (Guess I would) Or as it's newer/similar global update could I get my settings back from mi cloud or Titanium back up?
Tired of changing roms and then setting up all the apps.
Sorry if this a newbie type question.
Thanks for any info (=

Tried to delete my last post, without luck, found answer/s in other threads (=

The zip file is corrupt

TIP: love your OP7? Do NOT upgrade to Android 10

EDIT & TL;DR:
(i) Some people on this thread say they have "no problems with the upgrade", but many, many people do. To me that confirms the advice of this post: don't gamble, it's not worth it.
(ii) Also note that some people say that their battery life improved with Android 10… but then it turned out that on Pie, for some reason, they had a battery life of three hours, instead of the awesome times that the rest of us are getting. In short: if someone says that Android 10 is awesome, try to read between the lines.
Original Post:
Long story short.
Upgraded to Android 10.
"Search" stopped working within Settings
Battery life went from Awesome to Awful, Awful, Awful (known issue)
Fought the battery issue for two days (requested help with BBS dump)
Downgraded to Pie using TWRP backup (mistake)
This bricked the phone
Spent a whole day unbricking
Have my phone back but lost local files (photos, documents)
Android Pie ain't broke… Don't be like me, there's nothing to fix, the OP7 on latest Pie is awesome, it's all downhill from there.

Im on android 10 OOS10.0.1, rooted, magisked, viper installed, blu_spark-r57 installed. everything is perfect. search is also working.
but i fully clean flashed the entire android 10 firmware. maybe try that? i backed my stuff up on my PC prior to this.

Sure, it's just one person's experience. It caused me a lot of grief, and I don't see the point of taking the risk. For the few days I was on 10 I didn't see any benefits, only drawbacks.

Pie to stable 10 then beta 4, is just keeps getting awesome. But hey maybe its just me. Factory reset and no apps restore

What would be one or two specific improvements you've found from Pie to Q?

battery life, and animation

I can confirm. Even on a clean install battery backup is significantly less on Android 10. Last Pie update gave me like 10+ hours of SOT.

Is not a issues, it's settings to aggressive. For resetting the auto brightness go in settings and tap on the in the screenshots marked points.
That resets the auto brightness and takes some days to learn it new :good:

That's right, if you're installing from scratch, that doesn't count as an upgrade… And this thread is about warning people about upgrading to Android 10.
Let's cut through the noise for a moment.
Is there ANYONE on this thread who has actually done an UPGRADE as suggested on the guide below, and who is NOT experiencing pain with Android 10?
The Guide (see the section called 2. UPDATE):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3954559
1. [OPTIONAL, but highly recommended]Backup everything in case of issues!
2. Download the full rom zip file and place it into the root folder of your storage(/storage/emulated/0)
3. Go to Magisk Manager App and uninstall all modules
4. Go to Android settings -> system -> system update and hit gear icon top right -> local upgrade, don't reboot yet!
5. Flash "TWRP ZIP" within Magisk Manager App like a Module: Magisk Manager App -> Menu -> Modules "+". This installs TWRP to both a/b partitions.
6. Install Magisk via Magisk Manager App again: Magisk Manager App -> hit install after your Magisk version -> hit again install -> hit "install to inactive slot"
7. Reboot your device
8. Reinstall your Magisk Modules
Your device is now updated via local upgrade and you keep TWRP and Root

I did also the upgrade from P to Q as I was on stable OOS, but right after upgrade and boot I booted in the stock recovery and do factory reset and the wipe everything wipe and start from the scratch and I never had any mentioned issues. But anyway now i'm on Beta path :good:

Yes, me. I did not face any issues.

I did an upgrade from pie to Q with the same instruction.
3 issues I have.
Autobrightness
Wifi is sometimes disconnecting for a sec and connecting again
Gap below the keyboard

Personally don't have any issues whatsoever with Android 10 - Magisk, kernel, and all. Though its true that if you're on pie there's no point in upgrading. Only added feature that you might enjoy is ever so slightly more customization and android 10 navigation gestures, that's it.

I upgraded to A10 and latest Oxygen and everything is working fine for a month and more, haven't experienced any issues listed above.

MIUI 11 with Android 10 global stable staged OTA roll-out begins...

Apparently the OTA has begun, though it's not available to me yet
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1
MIUI v11.0.4.0.QEJMIXM Stable - a 1.9gb update according to the screenshot
Is anyone else seeing this when you try to update?

Yes I have it.
It is better battery life. Also it have special node to switch the graphics driver on a per app basis. But I didn't test much.
And gamebooster is better, blue.

The Chinese rom didn't work out well for me problem with the GPS and it not fully applying the black theme so will wait for the E.U rom to land soon......

The news here is that the Stable EU ROM is allegedly dropping, though it does (as always) seem to be a staged roll out. Just was wondering if anyone had received it yet, and if so, in which country

Same issues here. Glad I'm not the only one. Using EU ROM

i guess we have to wait for a working root, it is a new rom anyway ^_^
(unrelated subject: the reason i need root is to hide it from McDonald's app.. funny right? My banking apps are fine with unlocked bootloader but McD is worried. hehe)

@GLOBAL is no problem to roo with magisk

Ok buckle up buckaroos. I think I got it. Magisk 20.0 does work. But not if you have old magisk stuff set up.
So steps:
1. install latest MIUI (eu) as you normally would.
2. Use magisk uninstaller. All your magisk files and configurations like audio stuff will be gone but hey, this is the way. I did this twice.
3. Boot into system. Make sure everything is good. If not. Repeat 1 and 2 again making sure to wipe cache and dalvik and optionally system before flashing stuff. Reboot to recovery and then into system.
4. Once you're sure that everything is working go back into recovery. Flash Magisk 20.0. I did not wipe anything at this point but you could try if you'd like.
5. Boot into system.
6. Set up all of your root apps again :'(
7. [Optional] upvote my comment if successful. I live off of spite and fake internet karma
(You can update magisk manager at this point but I would wait untill the next update before updating magisk manager itself)
I have spoken.

Magisk 20.4 canary works fine to

Can anyone tell if miui 11.0.4 have any option to change color settings like Live Display in LOS?

Should I be even bothered about this stable update 11.0.4 when I already have MIUI 11.0.5 (PEJMIXM) updated in October?

Worth it to upgrade from Android 10 Sept 2020 to Android 11 right now or wait?

Or wait a couple of months for them to tweak it a bit?
I only run Magik and not Xposed, not that it matters!

I'm not rooted, but I've been running R since the first public ßeta.
It's been the smallest update so far in a long time for Android. Very little has changed, compared to previous major version upgrades.
If you can root (and from what I read i think you can with Magisk), make a full backup and try it.

I don't really know what you'd be waiting for. I don't think a non-rooted person would notice much in terms of drawbacks. Magisk modules level, there were some issues... but I think most things are getting worked out. Xposed technically works, but more than half of my modules broke in a way that probably won't be fixed for a while. I still feel like I'm at a net-negative in terms of phone features. A11 brought little and broke a lot of my QoL tweaks that used Xposed.
I make no claims about SafetyNet as I use no apps that even check it.

I think A11 has been released formally by google and most of issues have been fixed or addressed.
I used magisk and edxposed. That's not a problem for me(I used Edxposed for fingerface only). Regarding of safetynet issue, it also has solution to make it pass by magisk modules and kernel side.
Until now, I'm happy with A11.

I ended up doing a full wipe and upgrade to Android 11 Oct 2020.
I have Magisk running with the SQL Lite mods for Google Pay and obviously I have root so I'm basically back where I was on Android 10.
I hadn't use Xposed yet and I don't know if I will yet. I was using Viper Audio mod but I don't know if I noticed a major difference, mostly I just stream bluetooth in my SUV.
So far, so good.

I tried it and reverted back to 10 - as mentioned didn't gain much but broke a lot. Even in stock form I can't get videos to load a subtitle file because of storage permissions and what not. A tweaked out install of 10 is faaaar nicer imo so that's what I'm running, probably until a new phone comes out sadly.

can i ask how you upgraded to A11? Im on 10 rooted with magisk and keep hearing mixed messages on upgrading. And is it necessary to wipe? I really don't want to.

A11 is not too bad, but as others have said little things here and there that break. Like for me I listen to SiriusXM app on mobile and for some odd reason it will stop playing all of a sudden and close. It's like the aggressive memory management kills the app for no reason. I even have battery optimization turned off and still does it.
Thinking about moving back to A10 from August, not really much I have to have to stick with latest A11 updates.

Flash the factory image, but remove the -w in the flash-all file. Then in Magisk Manager switch tot he beta channel and patch the boot image with that. Flash it and you're done.

Ok so I shouldn't install it via the ota? I keep getting the pop up to update every day.

Does using Magisk to dl / install the OTA, then patch the non-live and newly flashed partition, then finally rebooting not work?
When I was rooted that was always the easiest way.
And based upon the post 2 above this one, Magisk now supports A11 without ẞeta, right?

stable android 11 released for op7p

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......

Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?

There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.

Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...

im on 10.3.8 and rooted..
can i just do the same old process.. twrp isnt an issue as long as may apps are safe and root..

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..

Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.
anyways, what problem have you encountered regarding wifi?? i dont seem to experience those,, maybe because i came from stable oos 10.3.8..
what app crashed and problems have you encountered???
