When I started to use Oreo AICP (not the first release) it was just so great. Everything was smooth and for example installing my apps for the first time on the clear system (90+) took less time than now updating 60 of them at a time, and the system was usable during the installs. The battery time was not that great, but it is improved now I think except the awakeness which is still there. (Restart after charging kinda solves it until the next charge)
The latest OTA brought back the low memory, which was an issue a few weeks back.
Btw is there a reason that every OTA update shuffles the boot animation? It is not a functional issue I am just wondering if it is on purpose or just random merging which changes it every time.
Also dunno since when but searching in settings does not work
