Android Oreo Developer Preview Image Released!

[cajunflavoredbob]

This preview of the Oreo build is updated with the March 2018 security patches. It is Android Oreo, version 8.1. If you want to use this, keep in mind that this is a development preview! It is not the final release. There are also a few things to note about using it.

• It requires you to be bootloader unlocked (unlocking wipes your phone)
• This update will wipe your phone even if you're already unlocked
• You will not get any OTAs while on this build
• VoLTE and WiFi Calling might not work
• No CTS, so Android Pay/Pokemon Go may not work
• May be some undocumented bugs

If you're fine with all of that, then the download link can be found on Razer's developer page about the update.

If you want to go back to the stock Nougat images, just follow the instructions here.

Look up a video of Oreo on a Pixel. It looks exactly the same.

No default white theme like normal Oreo same default theme as nougat.

Screen now has a colour option which can be set to show more vibrant colours.

Double tap to sleep (only on lockscreen)

Speakers seem louder than before.

And all the normal Oreo stuff

Also Pokémon go does work.

Color options and more power for the speakers are both great news. Much excited.

I'm tinkering with GSIs and I've realised you can go into Download Mode by tapping the Power button several times as soon as the Razer logo pops up (before the orange 'tampered' message appears).
In case that helps someone ^

I wonder if there's a way of doing that with maybe the volume buttons to go directly into recovery as well ?

How would you rate the new colors, I've always felt the display was a tiny bit washed out

It did the same thing to me when I flashed stock nougat to fix boot loop. Remove and reinstall the Sim card. That worked for me.

Anyone having Bluetooth mic issues on this preview?
Just got a new BT headset with a built in mic and it ain't working. Just thought I'd check in here before returning it.

 

[Rox598]

I went back to Nougat but did anyone else notice the screen colours go between vibrant and normal all the time? noticed it on the lockscreen, Keyboard and quick toggles but it only seemed to happen with colourful stuff. Default Razer wallpaper, Coloured keyboard and theme applied etc

Yes @Roxas598 I did notice the colors change from vibrant to normal a lot. And I've been watching Netflix on it lately as well and have been watching the second season of a series of unfortunate events and the whole show has been looking darker than it should, making it hard to watch even with brightness all the way up.

I already reported the issue but wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Thanks!

My Fitbit is not being recognised at all, and my bluetooth mic on my new headphones doesn't work. So it looks like there are some issues with Bluetooth which I'll revert to stock to resolve. Not bad so far, but obviously being close to stock means it doesn't feel much different to 7.1, certainly not enough that you get that excited buzz we once got back when Android revisions were massively different.

Literally got everything working

How did you do this? I'd like to know since I'd like to use Netflix and Google Pay.
