How To Format Data Partition
The Steps For Formatting Data Partition

get ADB fastboot installer from here
Install it
Take back up of everything including DCIM and TWRP or TITANIUM or SMS contact backup or user data from recovery.
reboot to bootloader.
open command prompt on the computer.
fastboot format userdata (This will format everything on internal storage and will recreate data partition)
wait till success message.
reboot to recovery

Bugs:
Bugs happen. Our testers are very good at breaking things, but no where near as good as the rest of the Android public. In order to investigate and fix issues, we need the help of the users who are going to report them. The Android OS has many nifty features to help us in this, but only if we can engage the user to assist us.

Logs, Logcat, and the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB)
Like any other OS, Android has multiple log files that are generated and record the goings-on of the system. As a user, you have two basic ways to view and pull these to send to us. Without the information in the logfiles, there simply is not a whole lot of information to go on.

Log file APKs
I recommends SysLog or alogcat from the Android Market. This application will allow you to selectively pick any (or all) of the system logs, compress them into a .ZIP file, and allow you to save, email, move to your Copy/DropBox/Cloud Storage account, etc.

ADB Logcat
The Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) is a powerful tool available from Google as part of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Used for many things, being able to selectively see, in real-time, what your device is doing cannot be downplayed. While there is more setup involved, if you are doing consistent ROM flashing, you really should invest the time to get setup properly to do it.

Deep sleep?

MrBrady · Sep 11, 2017

My setup experience
1) Installed as stated in the OP (minus the skipping setup part)
2) Staying at Google boot logo long enough to make me think there was an issue - maybe 10 seconds.
3) Boot animation was very slow and choppy at first, but then sped up - also make me think there may be an issue.
4) Initial boot took about 15 minutes, then sat at a black screen for about 4 minutes after that. Then the blue setup screen came on.
5) I deviated from skipping setup and put in my info, selected a backup to restore and went through the steps. The setup completed successfully and the backup is now restoring. Going to leave it plugged-in while restoring and doing it's behind the scenes stuff, but so far this ROM is super smooth!

Bottom line - follow the OP and BE PATIENT!

If you use any gapps other than mentioned in OP.. You might get black screen initially. We will need to wait for open gapps to resolve their issues - I don't wish to integrate same in ROM for various reasons.

I'm using the Gapps listed in the OP. The ROM is smooth sailing so far. Looking forward to giving it a more thorough run tomorrow. Thanks for the release!

I will check and revert on this before next release. Should be fixable.

Maybe this helps, if you have the Google-App installed, try disabling "Instant Tethering" in the settings.

Just flashed the rom with the gapps from the OP.

The phone is insanely hot and is stuck at 90%+ CPU right when its done booting. As for now completely unusable.
I only flasked Magisk 14.0 with it. Anyone else with this problem?

No one is going to help u with your tone. Secondly don't start this crap in here. One oreo thread has already been closed. It's a beta for a reason.

What tone and what crap? I am exactly describing what is happening, doesn't matter if it's beta or not. If a rom is not functional users should be notified of it. No reason for people to try a rom that can't be used because the CPU is stuck at 100% usage.

The reason I responded it because a user said it was working smooth.

This is not the case for me, so I was wondering what was going wrong.

If this is something that is just my device, then other users can tell me. Great way to start some drama in thread....
