Android 8.0 Oreo Discussion

[Kahun]

So who's excited for Oreo!?

What features are you looking forward to the most?

For me it would be Project Treble!

Is there any devs here already working on a custom rom?

I'm looking forward to people stopping asking when it's coming.

Someone managed to get it to boot on a OP3, so wait a bit and you'll see it appear in XDA

Personally I'm waiting for Android P, because... I love peanut-butter. Anyone know when it will be released?

Yet another O thread, I might create an Android O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z anticipation thread so get it all out the way.

On the basis that this is just an appreciation and excitement thread rather than an ETA thread I would say I'm looking forward to picture in picture for YouTube specifically.

Also looking forward to notification channels but think I will need to eventually try it to fully understand it's potential.

In the background I'm most excited for Google doing more to curb background battery drain from rogue apps as battery life is what I look to most in a phone.

I'm most excited about the Autofill Framework. I've been using LastPass for a couple of years now and while it works decently on the phone, on many occasions I have to switch back and forth between LastPass and the app/website I'm trying to login into. Many times it takes more time and effort than I would like to and hopefully this new API will help integrate this feature seamlessly.

I read on the xda labs page that it might support OMS natively .. which is a big plus for me ... a couple of another features that i've seen are also interesting.

I'm happy with the progress with what we have now. Thank you to all the developers.

Moded ass OP5

This thread makes me feel like this is oneplus forums..

Great to see people excited about it and many developers already started doing development.

Good news for OP5 users!
halogenOS 8.0 development is ongoing. Releases for OnePlus 5, OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 2 will be coming as soon as we can manage.

In case there is a need to modify TWRP, I'll take a look at that as well.

Yes fully OOS level theme support of Substratum or a OnePlus own theme UI would be appreciated. I'd personally would vote for Substratum as there is already a mature theme library available on the playstore.

I'm also looking forward to the battery drain reduction from background apps.

Lets all hope that finally holds true.

Would be nicer if we had new battery tech! Lithium ion batteries been abouts since the 90s! We need some sort of breakthrough then we wont even really need these battery drain reductions.

A little off topic bit also exciting! Just need to see this tech move further along now. Maybe in the next 10 years this is what all gadgets will use. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/tech/super-safe-glass-battery-charges-in-minutes-not-hours/
