Which is better.. I know 252 is the best and Sony made latest oreo good too.. But which is the best one for now that we all know that oreo is optimized for X..
My opinion is Nougat ??*
Xposed not working on Oreo
34.4.A.0.252 - the final rom on Nougat 7.1 - where
-screen tint & font edges arent very eye soothing
- amazing performance, response touch, can handle heavy social apps
- poor battery life
34.4.A.2.118 - sept 2018 build on OREO
- smooth screen fonts (clear type) & screen tint soothing to eyes
- nightlight can be activated (if boot is unlocked)
- user friendly interface which you instantly like
- makes X heats up alot and here the problem starts, All apps starts hanging.
- cannot support heavy apps like full version of fb & messenger and snapchat simultaneously
- poor ram management - recent apps always reloads whenever you flip thru windows...
- GOOD BATTERY LIFE
Snapchat works fine on oreo.. And it doesn't heat up that much.. Only performance reduce is ram management

This is a no-frills custom kernel for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL designed to be used with the stock ROM and custom Android 11 ROMs. It's intended to be a simple replacement for the stock kernel that brings several under-the-hood enhancements. This kernel is not meant to be customized by users.
Changelogs for each update can be found in the 2nd post of this thread.
Features:
Full real-time preemption (PREEMPT_RT), which makes the kernel as responsive and stutter-free as possible
Compiled with GCC 12.1 from the Arch Linux repository
Built with Link Time Optimization (LTO) for improved overall kernel performance
Built with Dead Code Elimination (DCE) to shrink the kernel's size by removing unused code
Removed lots of excessive bloat (improves security and performance)
Simple LMK, a custom low memory killer that improves memory management
Optimized CPU frequencies and EAS energy model for improved performance and battery life
WireGuard, a next generation secure VPN tunnel
Passes SafetyNet bootloader unlock check
Improved gaming performance

That's weird, there are multiple Pixel 4 users on Telegram that don't have issues with it. Could you get your phone working again and then do the following: reboot, go into developer options, tap bug report, share the bug report via gmail, then email it to [email protected]. I removed support for prototype versions of Pixel 4 but maybe I removed support for a Pixel 4 variant that's in production.

ah yes it's the prototype version/ FTU ones, so there's no way i can probably use your kernel? I'll send the log anyway

If I find out what version it is I can just add support back. Do you think I should add back support for all of the different prototypes, or is there only one prototype version circulating around?
Also, how did you even get a prototype?

Here in Malaysia they sell them at a very cheap price , it lacks the face id part. Idk if it's actually illegal to sell/use them. I've send the logs anyway, my email starts with danielaniq28
New build is up with some fancy under-the-hood improvements.
The January 28th kernel has been reuploaded as a January 29th build because i messed up the 28th build. If you managed to get the 28th build before I removed it, please install the 29th build. Cheers.
Just discovered that I made another small mistake in the update, so I've uploaded it again as a January 30th build.
I made another derp that broke some system-wide sound effects (such as touch sounds), so I've uploaded a new kernel with the bug fixed. We're living in the future now, boiz.
New build is up.
New build is up with overheating fixed.
I learned that the DP out function has been soft-disabled by Google, even though the USB-C port supports it. Any chance of enabling that in the kernel?

Idk, it might need ROM support. I'd have to test it, but more likely than not, it isn't as simple as you may think.
New build is up with the March fixes and lots of performance improvements I made.
hi, silly question, after flashing, can i lock the bootloader again ? (supposing i temporarily installed TWRP just for flashing) otherwise, any way to get google pay working ? thanks

Usually not a good idea re-locking the bootloader with non-official software.
You can pass safetynet and use google pay with magisk and a couple modules, if you need more info you can take a look at a post I wrote some time ago, should still work fine now.
As of today, there is also a new useful module: universal safetynet fix. I have installed them all, and I can use gpay just fine
Thank you for your answer. however i never managed to install this kernel using TWRP since TWRP only supports android 10, not 11, so recovery got stuck on splash screen. So basically until we get TWRP support for android 11, no other way to install this kernel without root ?

I've been using LineageOS recovery. Are you on stock?
Hey , did anyone install Android 12 (beta) for OnePlus Nord 2 given from "Oxygen Updater" apk ? It can be download full zip package and kudos for that the rollback Android 11 zip package (A19 vs) only for Indian version .
Name is OOS12 Open Beta 1 , not suitable for Pac-Man Edition .
Nope. I have the EU version Nord 2 and so I'm not going to mess with it. But I would have downloaded it in a hearbeat had they released it for the EU model.
Ok , me as well .
But here are some features we can expect :
OOS12 Open Beta 1 changelog (Nord 2)
System
Newly added Smart Battery Engine, a feature that prolongs battery life based on smart algorithms and biomimetic self-restoration technology
Optimized AI System Booster to 2.1 for your system to run smoothly even when the load is high
Optimized desktop icons with improved textures, by using a design inspired by brand-new materials and uniting lights and layers
Optimized Extra HD, a feature that can significantly enhance image and video resolutions
Dark mode
Dark mode now supports three adjustable levels, bringing a more personalized and comfortable user experience
Shelf
New additional style options for Cards, making data contents more visual and easier to read
Newly added access to OnePlus Scout in Shelf, allowing you to search multiple contents on your phone, including Apps, Settings, Media Data, etc
Newly added OnePlus Watch Card in Shelf, to easily glance at your health status
Work-Life Balance
Work-Life Balance feature is now available to all users, allowing you to effortlessly switch between Work and Life mode via quick settings
WLB 2.0 now supports automatic Work/Life mode switching, based on specific locations, Wi-Fi network, and time, also bringing customized App notification profiles according to the personalization
Gallery
Gallery now allows you to switch between different layouts with a two-finger pinch gesture, intelligently recognizing the best-quality pictures, and cropping the thumbnail based on the content, making the gallery layout more pleasing
Canvas AOD
Canvas AOD brings you new diverse styles of lines and colors, for a more personalized lock screen experience with inspiring visuals
Optimized software algorithm and improved face recognition to better identify the features and skin color of different figures
Games
Newly added the HyperBoost end-to-end frame rate stabilizer
There are also known issues in this build, which we have reproduced below for your convenience:
You might be unable to use Face Unlock in the dark after turning on Brighten screen in dim light through Settings.
Fortnite will crash when playing the game.
Additionally, OnePlus warns that "some features of the Pac-Man edition may disappear after upgrading this build", so you shouldn't install this beta if you own a Pac-Man edition Nord 2.
Although you may be hyped by OxygenOS 12 now being available for your device, do remember that this is beta software (as proven by known issues list) and that as such, you accept any risks by installing this update. Furthermore, you're expected to report bugs to OnePlus directly via community app. Do also mind that switching back to stable OxygenOS 11 at any point will require a full data wipe, so don't get excited and jump into OB1 without considering all its pros and cons.
The Nord 2 was released only in EU & India. Note that there's no link for EU yet. If you don't want to wait, you can crossflash to India from the app itself (just select the "India" device). However, we advise patience. We will update this article if OnePlus posts links for EU.
So another piece of **** software upgrade with general Android 12 additions. What a huge disappointment. They probably have the Indian version first because they've hired 1 Indian to make it compatible. As soon as I get a quiet moment, I'll probably custom ROM it and swap it out for a different brand before I install the beta garbage.
"There are also known issues in this build, which we have reproduced below for your convenience", For our convenience... great laughs were had.
Does anybody here have any hope at all for this phone in the coming future? Especially because the Nord 3 is already spotted **shakes my head**
