OnePlus Pushing Out Fake Oreo Builds

[geokilla]

Anyone read about this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7iydl8/oneplus_allegedly_kept_711_firmware_in_its_oreo/

A couple of Chinese developers found that one plus was still using a branch of 7.1.1HAL/firmware in Oreo OOS update. Users are complaining in the Chinese OP community. Peter Lau retorted: "What exactly is the core of Android 8.0?"

Update: Oneplus disabled Reply function(yes, the reply function) altogether in the Chinese Oneplus community! How about that. The company is seriously ****ED UP. I'm speechless.

Yes it's a shame. Also they refuse to include treble. Im so dissapointed. Devs will have to do much more work

I'm glad I waited. Seems like there are a lot of shortcuts behind the scenes in the software. This and the missing crypto libraries for HD YouTube etc.

How about this? True?

 

[kgs1992]

I don't get it? They did say they weren't going with treble, so why would the firmware change much between N and O?
I'm not defending them in any way, I just want to know why this is bad?

Well, its like using win7 drivers in win10. Calm down.

A lot of code of N still works in O so I dont know what the problem is.

 

[raydekok]

Same here, I really don't See the problem

The first o em including treble and providing community openness will be the first big seller of them all.

To be fair, the process to add treble when updating from 7 to 8 seems to be quite difficult. Good chance that making the update smooth for end users was too hard.
That said... they could have just shipped it with 8.0, but again, to be fair it was probably too tight of a timeline to get it ready vs just tweaking the oneplus5 7.0 build to work on the 5t.

Seems like much ado about nothing. Maing mountains out of molehills.

I bought a Pixel with What supposed to be the real Oreo, but there was no creme filling. Fake!

Secondly, Android 7 to 8 with Trebble is do-able. Essential phone is in the process and I bet they will prove OnePlus's 6-month release and money making greed.
