Observations with new release
This build actually will help all devices , ilapo or not
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA Labs
Installed 20200515-build and did three long hikes (13h/8h/11h) with navigation, tracking and many pictures (87/56/86) - so i dare to say something about stability of this release and the difference to previous versions.
Overall result is:
1) stability is much better, but the reason for freezing/sluggish camera doesn't seem to be eliminated (albeit reboot isn't necessarily required)
2) battery consumption is clearly better
3) system UI gets slower after intensive usage of device
During the hikes flight mode active for most of the time. I use OpenCamera with DRO enabled. In former releases (including TEST2-Kernel) camera became nearly unresponsive after ~30-40 photos and I had to reboot.

During the first hike (13h/87 pics) absolutely no problem - dreamlike behaviour. But suddenly when taking the last 2 pics it took very much longer and music player was interrupted.
Decided to *not* reboot - force stopped OpenCamera app and started the hike next day (8h/56 pics). Every ~8 photos camera very slow, sound interupted and messages about not responsive background apps (I've activated background-ANRs in developer options). Force stop of OpenCamera necessary. So in the evening I decided to reboot, because (for me) it seemed that some kind of kernel structure was exhausted and not freed.
No problems on the third hike. But afterward, when using other apps, I noticed that starting of apps or switching apps took more time. Everything worked, but it felt much slower.
ad 2)
I use a 6000 mAh battery - with navigation and tracking I've always had a battery consumption of ~ca 12-15% in 2 hours. Now (on all three hikes, also the "problematic" second) there was ~8-10% in 2 hours. Much better!
Maybe these observatins are useful. Greets!
