Oreo 8.1 Update now rolling out!

[Rox598]

18/04/18 UPDATE: Factory Image and Kernel Source are live!


It's being rolled out so you might not have it right away.


My own Unofficial Changelog since the one Razer provided was lacking

• Added 8.1 features such as PiP, smart text, new power menu and switch off/reboot animation
• Added Updated Dialer (looks more like the Pixel Dialer now)
• Added "Colour" under "Display" to tune the display between "Natural" "Boosted" and "Vivid"
• Fixed Crashing Issue with Netflix and Google Play Movies
• Updated Dolby Atmos Application and equaliser

If you have any issues/bugs please post with a detailed description of it and if it can be replicated. Also upload any bug reports to your Google Drive and share the link here so the developers can take a look.


How to Take a Bug report.

1. Activate Developer Settings by going to Settings>System>about phone and tap the build number repeatedly.
2. Once done go back once and you should see "Developer Options"
3. In here press "Take Bug Report" and then "Full Report"
4. Wait a bit and you'll see a notification, press it and upload to Google Drive
5. Once in Google Drive get the link for the .zip file and make sure the sharing settings are changed to "anyone can edit" and then share the direct link to the file here.

I know this sounds like a lot but it's very easy and really helps the developers.

Downloading now. Hopefully will be a good update considering how long it took.

Already installed (on a de-branded phone, btw). It looks like the screen is about 10% brighter than it was before the update, but I may be wrong. Has anyone else noticed the same?

Someone on the Razer forums said the same thing.

If someone could test something for me I would be very greatful but you have to follow these steps exactly and let me know the outcome. The Theme isn't the cause it's just easier to see.

go to System settings>display>colours and change the colour scheme to "Vivid"
Change your theme to something vibrant like flat green or crimson from the razer theme store
Change the theme on Gboard to something bright like red/green
open Google chrome and tap the field box so the keyboard appears
now swipe the quick toggles all the way down with no notifications making sure the keyboard is still up

Now when you look at your quick toggles is the colour switching from vivid to normal by itself? been trying to find the cause of this on my unit but was a bit hard with hardly anyone on the dev preview.

It will be interesting to see if the Three variant has the update delayed. I am still struggling with debranding mine but if the update does roll out with the SIM free devices I will stop trying.

Hi,

Is there any new settings such as haptic feedback vibration settings?

God knows how long we will have to wait for factory images to be released.
As those of us who are on the DP will not receive the OTA, and cannot roll back to N neither

To those of you that don't have the update yet, just install a VPN app like protonvpn and connect to a US server, then check for updates...
Thank me later.

Damn, it worked for me, I live outside the US ans had no update available, after the vpn connection from US I was offered the update at first try. Try other servers in US maybe. They sais rollout is in wave. Maybe not all of the US is being served.

Stock recovery should be able to flash it, it's the same file your device would download.

 

[Kimbaroth]

Whats the correct way to install the OTA???

Fully fresh install DP 1 and then the OTA over it??? (I'm using the DP 1, but I rooted and messed with some files already, I want the fully fresh experience).

Best regards

In my case, I already instal DP1 .. and then roll back to nougat version via fastboot .. then relock the bootloader.
And then update via adb sideload the OTA update

All right then.

So, first install the factory image: https://developer.razer.com/razer-p...210.450019206.1523910795-820167234.1522079918

Then relock the bootloader.

And then ADB Sideload the OTA.

I heard some users had problems downgrading from the DP1 to N, you had any issue???

Best regards,
