Should i update to 12 beta 3 ? - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Should i update to Android 12 beta 3 ?
Daily use possible ?
Any bugs ?

yeah beta 3 is totally fine for daily use. a few jumpy screen animations is about the worst of it.

Thanks.

I got a error while updating through adb sideload method "can't find valid operating system" after that my pixel 4a rebooted in to Android 11 (bootloader is locked)

Thinking of flashing the latest Beta 4. Does anyone know whether rooting with Magisk is possible?

Download the full rom zip and choose local update in the upper right corner of Android system upgrade. Maybe it helps

Just for information: android 10 on OnePlus 7 isn't "unstable". Neither beta or stable. And rooting is also easy like on pie.

okay let's discuss it
do you know that i have android10 installed from the beginning
from yesterday i am using oneplus 5 with 9.0.8 (the best rom for my opinion)
android 10 it has many shortcomings mainly (notch settings, Pocket Mode etc)
shows me a powerful lag in the launcher,mainly when the page opens to the left with the various shortcuts & sometimes the screen flickers ,wifi is delayed...
For me it's not stable yet ....Needs time and patience for stable builds but I trust the oneplus team
Root on Pie ofcourse ...For android10 disagree for now in a non-stable rom(after a few updates maybe yes)
This is my opinion I hope you understand me , my english isn't good

This is Oneplus 7 forum and root works flawlessly on Android 10, I have my op7 rooted FYI and no issues.
So saying don't do root in android 10 confuses people here

exactly how do you "factory reset"? in TWRP? or in the OS in android settings (the old fashio way before unlocking & root)? if in TWRP, what exact options did you wipe? mine is stuck at 89% and I do not know how to fix the issue

Go twrp recovery, look for .Ota, flash the downloaded update zip and reboot.(Must be patient for step 2 to complete)
If can't find .Ota, go to File manager app, click storage below, click 3 dot on top right coner, settings, turn Show hidden file switch on.

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

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.

Don't know what's the problem with the battery this screenshots from OpenBeta 4 and now i'm on OpenBeta 5 will see how's the battery there :good: for me on every OpenBeta no problem with the battery life :good:
Maybe the reason is that I always to a fresh start from the scratch with every OpenBeta :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.

Android 11 beta 2.5 released (display hz fix)

Google dropped an incremental update to address the whole display flicker issue as well as a few other smaller issues. I'm running it now and can confirm its a night and day difference as far as the display. Using the refresh rate overlay, you can see it stays at 90hz indefinitely while the smooth display option is toggled. They didn't just add back the force 90hz display option like I was hoping but this achieved the same result so I won't complain.

Did you update from Android 11 Beta 2.0, or did you go straight from 10 to 11 2.5?
I did flash-all without the -w, then used magisk canary, updated to the latest, and flashed the patched boot.img, and it still boot loops for me. It says there's no valid boot slot. Which options did you use in Magisk when creating the patched boot img?

The smooth display setting does not fix the refresh rate at 90Hz in low light conditions.
You can achieve the same result like the force 90Hz from developer options with the following adb command:
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 90.0
After this, toggling the smooth display setting will have no effect. The display refresh rate will always be 90Hz.
To disable it again do the following:
adb shell settings delete system min_refresh_rate

It depends how you "broke" face unlock. If it broke from updating to and older Android 11 beta then going back to Q, then yes it should fix that. If it broke due to corrupting your Persist.img then no, the only way to fix that is to have a backup of your Persist from when it was good and manually restoring the old persist.img.
I flashed the incremental 2.5 update and face lock did not work. I then downloaded Android 10 July and that brought everything back to normal as it should. I tried this numerous times before the incremental update to no avail. I'm so glad that they fixed it!

Question Is there a guide on how to downgrade to android 11 and one ui 3.1 after Android 12 and one ui 4 garbage?

Looking to revert back to android 11 and need to know what to do to not brick my phone.
Currently have an unlocked galaxy s21 plus, Odin is installed and so is a 4 file firmware package for Android 11..
I have USB debugging checked and most things backed up before I perform a factory reset..
Is there anything else that I'm missing, am I completely wrong? Sorry, it's been a long time since I've done anything like this
As long as it wasn't a OTA upgrade that also updated the bootloader version you should be able to roll back.
Make sure all critical data is redundantly backed up. Verify it's all there and readable.
So did you succeed in this?
Edit: It's downgradeable ez pz. Just download the latest Android 11 and flash via Odin. I have the Exynos version.

Probably. On the N10+'s snaps apparently it's not so you can roll back from 12 to 11 but no further. I'm still running Pie and 10 on my N10+'s and will not upgrade either.

11 is the best iteration out of all mentioned, so I recommend you upgrade to that at least. 12 was a beta testing software, but 13 is again a step in the right direction and OneUI 5 is really becoming a powerhouse. Now if only they got rid of the bloatware, but that's also easier than ever to manage nowadays.

You'll have more luck finding answers in the S21 Ultra section. Can't remember the exact bootloader versions, but if it's one of the later ones, you won't be able to revert. Android 12 is a piece of trash.

I doubt that as cpu cycle sucking scoped storage is fully active on 11 and above. On Android 9 and 10* it isn't. Not willing to risk screwing up 2 fast, stable, clean running machines that are fulfilling their mission by changing the firmware. To hell with global elitist Google's disinformation and hype Gookill... I see you
Not vaxing my N10+'s either☠
Bloatware is easy to stop from at boot up on stock Samsung's with Package Disabler (not on Playstore). Fastest and easiest solution.
*haven't used my N10+ Android 10 much so I need to do a comparison with my other one loaded with Pie. Will a 2 5+ yo Pie load beat out a freshly loaded and configured Q load? Q seems to get slightly worse SOT, so far, but I need to play with it more as it may not be fully dialed in yet.
My oldest N10+/N975U/Pie runs like a bat out of hell. It's current load is 2.5+yo. It is my most stable platform of any OS in the last 18 years.

Question Anyone get OxygenOS 12.0.0 to install?

I downloaded it. Went to local upgrade, installed it.
Went to Magisk and did install to inactive slot like normal. And it reboots. Then a small bootloop for a second. Then goes straight back to normal. Like I never installed anything.
Any thoughts?
I tried to root by patching new boot.img but get bootloop which not fixed except after msmdownload tool

Same here. If you dont install magisk to the inactive slot it will go through and you will be in oos12. Problem with mine, it wont read my flaking sim card. Tried it 5x all same problem. Also, every reboot, your dpi goes back to 360 lmao.
I patched boot.img by canary magisk and it is working good, but no option for safetynet passing

All three are in here. Make sure to use magisk 23.0 to patch boot and vendor boot so you don't loose modules and magisk hide. Then you disable verity before boot with vb_meta img. You have to do from sdk platform tools folder though. Will not work just putting in a folder on desktop and pulling cmd window from there. Enjoy , follow the above guide to a T

Thanks a lot for the files Mattie.
My experience with OOS 12 so far has been a nightmare, and I'm not even rooted.
For the record:
I was coming from OOS 11 not the latest version previous to OOS 12, rooted, pretty much stable but I felt the phone pretty slow in comparison to other (Long story short, I got a brand new OnePlus 8 I bought almost a year ago but couldn't get my hands on it, so after getting tired of waiting for it, bought the OP9).
My OP8 is not rooted, doesn't have the bootloader unlocked, and it's miles faster than my OP9 with about the same apps installed with the exception of the apps that require root.
So, since my OP9 was feeling slow in comparison, I decided to go at OOS 12 to see how it went. First experience was bad, the phone kept hanging, didn't read the SIM correctly at first, so I read someone that was suggesting to do a factory reset to fix some issues.
I did a factory reset, deleted everything on the phone to start OOS 12 from zero, and the phone keeps hanging, specially when I get phone calls via Whatsapp or other apps, and less but still some problems with "answering incoming phone calls".
At this point I rather try to downgrade to OOS 11 and sit this one out for a long while.
I thought about rooting OOS 12, but being honest, having root is not going to make the phone more stable or anything. I guess I'll do give it a try at OOS 12 in 3-6months after a couple of updates, maybe other versions are better.

I thought about rooting OOS 12, but being honest, having root is not going to make the phone more stable or anything. I guess I'll do give it a try at OOS 12 in 3-6months after a couple of updates, maybe other versions are better.

I have the correct msm tool for device. This is the forward route for you. Takes you to 11.4. Stock A11
Does anyone else have the issue of their touchscreen not functioning when they install the A12 update? Ive tried installing twice and both times my screen would not register any touches only the volume and power buttons functioned?
EDIT: NVM I MSM'd back to stock and upgraded to OOS 12 before unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks a lot for the files Mattie.
My experience with OOS 12 so far has been a nightmare, and I'm not even rooted.
For the record:
I was coming from OOS 11 not the latest version previous to OOS 12, rooted, pretty much stable but I felt the phone pretty slow in comparison to other (Long story short, I got a brand new OnePlus 8 I bought almost a year ago but couldn't get my hands on it, so after getting tired of waiting for it, bought the OP9).
My OP8 is not rooted, doesn't have the bootloader unlocked, and it's miles faster than my OP9 with about the same apps installed with the exception of the apps that require root.
So, since my OP9 was feeling slow in comparison, I decided to go at OOS 12 to see how it went. First experience was bad, the phone kept hanging, didn't read the SIM correctly at first, so I read someone that was suggesting to do a factory reset to fix some issues.

if you are looking for performance, look into kernels and/or just use a kernel manager.
out of all the Roms I've tried (all but the latest havok release) crDroid is the best performance option I get from a ROM on O09. that piared with optional GApps and frequent OTA updates, its the best thing out so far. the OTA even works perfectly at retaining root without any user input. (but do a backup before reboot, its still technically a dirty flash so play safe)

I don't want to get too off-topic, but figured I'd save a MSM wipe to some people, I can confirm this works, but only using the latest version of Magisk (v24), temporary boot will not work with v23 (the last one with MagiskHide), it caused Qualcomm crashdump and no recovery or fastbootd.
If anyone looks into other root spoofing solutions with the newer version v24, from Magisk settings use Zygisk, select apps using Enforced Denylist, and Universal SafetyNet Fix, there is also Shamiko, which I haven't tested personally.
From my own experience, DenyList+Universal SafetyNet fix+Selinux Switch if you need to switch between permissive and enforced Selinux are enough. Apps won't get to know there is root, safetynet is passed, and selinux checks are passed (that one took me a long while to figure out)
