Powershell doesn't take the drag and drop but takes command Adb.
The classic adb shell takes the drag and drop of the Zip but when I type the sideload command it opens the file. Can someone post a video showing how it's done please?
See images attached. Make your ADB folder as per mine and copy the OTA.zip file into that folder. Then run the command via command promt to sideload the update and flash the Beta 2. Make sure your USB drivers is installed.

Answer:
1. Yes
2. No. Only if you go back to Android 10
3. It should yes.... Not sure but cannot see why it wouldn't. And if it does not you can always manually update once the stable release comes out.

I hope Beta 3 will come asap because Beta 2 has minor but noticeable UI lags everywhere. @t-shock could you report that please and maybe others who are officially in the Beta program?

Is it possible to install in the rom of Brazil? ZTO

I tried, but it didn't work. I installed a BTU ROM.

Yeah... I love the UI changes like more spacing between media player and quick toggles and the new clock design but the lag makes it so ugly to use ....
Beta 2 is consuming more battery for me, Beta 1 was great!

beta 2 lags like hell compared to beta 1
I reported it
Dont worry

I have created a small guide on how to capture the link for the beta program
If anyone can do it (and of course has been registered to beta programme), please let me know

Firstly, download HTTPCanary from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guoshi.httpcanary
Set up the app. Dont worry if it "fails" to install any certification. It doesnt need root!
Make sure that you have disabled auto-download of any new system update. Very important as the update shouldnt be downloaded beforehand!!!
When you receive a notification for a new OTA, open the app and press the blue button down at the right corner to start up a virtual VPN connection so it can capture any connection to any server. Here a pic to help you
Once you start the app to capture the links, you will see many IP addresses in a form of a list like that.
At this point, go ahead and start the OTA download (but dont let it be downloaded completely. Pause it after 30 secs)
At the app, there should an option that contains the keywork "FOTA". See screenshot here https://i.ibb.co/crNSGhS/Screenshot-20201127-234707-Http-Canary.jpg

Press that option and you should see something like that. Screenshot it and copy it to a notepad!!!
We will need it later on!
Open the "Request" tab (should look like that). Screenshot that too and copy the first text!!!!!
Post what you have found and that’s it
That's the procedure to capture the link. It sounds tricky for the first time but it works!
