What's the best way to switch from PureNexus to Android O? Download the factory image, then run the flash-all.bat file? Is there anyway to do this without losing user data or is that the best way for optimal battery & performance?
PureNexus to Oreo

To do it right, then you would wipe EVERYTHING via TWERP.
Including user data /sdcard.
Then do the flash-all.
Anything else is just asking for trouble, IMO.
It might work, but then you may end up with little issues here and there.
If you do it without wiping user data then remove the -w from the flash-all.bat before running it. I recommend backing up apps via TB though and do things right by wiping the everythingsssss.
Then root and restore apps via TB.
Yeah I was just reading the sticky post about this update. Strongly recommends doing a full wipe. Now I'm trying to decide if I should jump from PN to O haha. How is the battery on O? A huge improvement over (P)N?
Heck if I know.
Oreo is useless to me until Xposed supports it and Resurrection Remix has a ROM for it.
It's the only ROM I run consistently for the last few years.
You can try but it's not recommended because there *might* be issues.
For me battery life is better on O than PN. GPS high accuracy , sync always on auto brightness Sot now 3,20h 41%battery left. Full wipe stock october rooted Su, EX kernel latest.
I understand the reasoning behind wiping system,data and cache in twrp when coming to a new rom...but what's the positive to wiping the sdcard?
Who's your cell provider? On O, I was constantly having issues with GPS accuracy being garbage and my cell reception was far worse (on T-Mobile). For example, my wife has a Pixel running Nougat, mine was running Oreo, and when we went on vacation my phone was always roaming or getting no service while she was getting LTE coverage (she is also on T-Mobile). I reloaded Nougat on my phone and we're heading back to the same area this weekend so I'm curious to see if my problem was soft/firmware related or if there's an issue with my phone.
sdcard or do you mean internal? It's not necessary to wipe internal when upgrading from N to O other than it'll clean all the unnecessary garbage from the phone. However, if you're downgrading from O back to N it is necessary. I tried downgrading from stock O to stock N with wiping and my phone was stuck on the boot animation screen until I decided to wipe everything.
Hi, i am using Ice.net Norway my signal is perfect always 4-5 bars. My wife's S7 is 2-3 bars on same network.
