No ramdump, a bit better battery life, stock like android

Better battery life would be really lovely. And mostly all of the Asus apps (messaging, dialing app etc) can go since Google provide good apps for that. The Bloatware annoys me the most without the ability to fully remove them.

Stock-like Android-11-like Android 12. Just don't change the notification system and icons to the new, bloated, child-like, inconvenient A12 model. (Do as Samsung did and stay close to the A11 design.) But yes, close to stock in all other respects. (Don't follow Samsung here.)
BTW, any pictures to post from A12 beta?

Did you notice any battery life improvements?

How frequent are the updates?

Battery life so far is not beter than A11, about the same I would say. So far we got 3 updates. A bit desapointed I must say, I expected the build to be at least better for battery

It looks like Android 12 was released. (OTA) 1 195,75 MB (RU)

Just got the Android 12 OTA for Zenfone 8

@dron39 , @arkedk : Are you registred in beta program?

Nope not in the beta channel. So the official Android 12 is rolling out now for all Zenfone 8. But might be a staged roll-out.

I guess no. It wasn't from my device. Seems like final release (if no mistake from ASUS, lol)

I received the same firmware today! Weeks ago, I signed up for the beta programme but never heard of them until this morning. So, is this a beta firmware or official final?

Oh yeah. Can see I got accepted on the beta. So this is beta channel.

Any idea how to install the incremental Android 12 OTA (here) over the latest stable version (30.12.112.62)? There is no update.bat file as in the full OTA to flash from fastboot.
PS Simply putting the fw in the root directory and rebooting does not work either.

Not sure how much it changes the camera, but I haven't seen major changes to it. Anyone confirm?

Is this your first smartphone? Updates aren't released for everyone at the same time.
This is pretty interesting. If Motorola keep up this speed of security updates i'll be happy. Sure, its not the monthly update, but getting a security path every 1 & 1/2 months isn't as awful as you'd expect from Motorola's software reputation.

Not if I just want to run stock w/ root. I've run Custom ROMS on this device, while they're stable enough, it's not stock. I'm frustrated that Motorola can't spread the wealth of updates equally.

Well, you've got stock, don't worry, be happy. They'll get around to it eventually. Although I wouldn't expect to see anything more than 8.0, and 64 bit is probably a pipe dream. But that's why we have places like xda.
I have XT1805 also and when I check software updates I see that my system is up to date. Now I have NPSS26.116-45-5, security patch is October 1, baseband is M8953_27.36.07.40R SANDERS_EMEADSDS_CUST. I flashed firmware from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...lash-official-firmware-moto-g5s-plus-t3681018
Maybe I should wait yet.
can you share the link to that rom?
can you share the link for the 8.1 rom ?

No, you should be able to find it yourself. But from this post and your other recent one, I would suggest you don't mess with your device. You'll save yourself (and others) a whole lot of trouble.

Question MIUI 12.5.1 global update

I have a redmi note 10 pro (sweet) updated to miui 12.0.15.0 stable (RKFMIXM). There is a 12.5.1.0 update, but the news are not clear. Is this a stable or a stable beta? I wanted to try it, but there is a recovery version of 2.8gb and a OTA version less than a gb. What's the difference? The recovery version deletes internal storage?
On stable branch you only get the stable updates.
Recovery is a full image of the OS, installing that will wipe your device.
OTA contains basically the "changes" from one version to another, so it is smaller.
I also have the RKFMIXM version and I was with the same doubt if it was a stable version or a stable beta because according to the news and rumors it should be in June the update date, for now I have a detail that the update no longer appears to me give him look for updates and I'm still on 12.0.15
I wouldn't bother with this version, I'm using it and it's still laggy, the RAM management is still bad as usual (moving everything to ZRAM then causing massive slowdown), at least the battery backup is better, the rest is pretty much the same.
And yeah, we got new bugs, it's miui after all, I guess it's a stable beta.

If any1 update Redmi Note 10 Pro Max 12.5.1 then they will loose Super Live wallpaper option permanently as MIUI 12.5.1 has blocked it and even if you try to install APK, it wont allow you to install.

On the recovery part, with the full ROM you can install it like an incremental update, it does not wipe your device.

Yeah I saw the video but the experience is not good, if you want a smooth experience, I still recommend Arrow or Cherish.
I'm satisfied with the battery backup, it improved but the rest, it's the same, same laggy miui.
The EEA version (RKFEUXM) of 12.5 is beta too?

General ColorOS 12 beta version

Got access to ColorOS 12 beta application today!
My device is OPPO Find X3 Pro
Was waiting for a new pixel release too, anyways it worked well to update my OPPO to Android 12, although I was not able to grab ColorOS 11 last year first hand, glad that they speed up for ColorOS 12 now.
Update worked for me via Software Update > Trial and > beta version
Anyone else on ColorOS 12 beta already?

Testing ColorOS 12, any questions?
Hi all, I was one of the lucky ones to be asked by OPPO to test ColorOS 12 on my X3 Pro. Because of the NDA i'm not allowed to show screenshots, but I am allowed to answer questions. In general I can say it needs a little bit more work. -...
forum.xda-developers.com
I'm on Alpha version 2021.09.27
Still having some issues.
Do you know how/where to report bugs?

When opening YouTube = 120

I think 60 is on purpose as there are no 120hz videos on youtube?

return from android 12 to 11/10?

hello, I have the soft version G781BXXU4FVI1 uploaded, and now what version of the software should I choose to download to go back to android 11, preferably 10?
you can go back as far as November 21 OneUI 3.1 update, maybe to October that year too. no further than that can be flashed as a complete firmware.

the earliest that should work is G781BXXU4CUH1 dated 2021-08-08
if you look at the build number I just typed, the 5th character from the end is the number 4.
any rom file for the B model with a 4 in the same exact place will flash OK because it shares the same bootloader version as we have now (#4).
As Im thinking uof upgrading to 11/12 on my G781B, @adek89 can I ask what your looking to revert..? as maybe it means I dont uprgade etc.

I read here and somewhere else that the battery on android 12 is much weaker compared to the 10 or 11. that's why I'm thinking about uploading them,

Ok so I assume you means battery life, did you reset your battery states right after installing the new ROM? Also in that instance you can run a battery stats program and find out what app or service is using too much battery and via settings>device care>battery>app power managment> you can sleep or deep sleep the app, if you need more control, then get greenify.
And I also assume your not leaving WiFI, Data, Bluetooth on ALL the time - leaving these on when it not required will kill battery on any version of android.

The phone is just bought, and immediately android 12 was in it, and I only assume from reading people's posts that 12 is weaker so people say in the information. in addition, I have some my tests between 20fe and 21fe, where 21fe lasted longer on the battery. s20fe was without such strong tstow as usual use

Question Has anyone tested MIUI Global 14.0.1.0 with the Redmi Note 10 Pro?

I got the notification about the update, but as past updates often felt like they broke functionality or increased battery drain, I'd like to hear people's opinions.
I read in posts from users of other phone models that the Global 14.0 might indeed have these issues.
Do not update yet
It's not bad but,if you ask me, wait little bit.

No, 14.0.2.0 version is the EEA rom, global rom is the 14.0.1 version as others have said.
In detail, EEA ROM is a European global ROM in a narrow sense, and the common global ROM is the 14.0.1 version.

What do you mean? Your screenshot more definitely supports my claim. TKF"EU"XM marked next to the version indicates that it is EEA global, and the global common ROM worldwide is TKF"MI"XM.
Even common global roms are version numbers "1.0" lower than "2.0" EEA roms, but later (recently) roms.
A lower number does not mean that it is a lower ROM or that changes are not reflected, but that each ROM, such as Global, EEA, Indonesia, and Taiwan, has a separate version mark.
Just showed you what i have

You can clearly understand it from the screenshot attached to the previous answer.
I've corrected that your version is EEA rather than the normal global, as it can be confusing to others. Others know that too, so they asked if 14.0.1.0 is correct.

Battery life was already crap for me at 13.0.16. The phone was around 1 year old at the time of that update, so going from 12-13 of SOT with light usage when new to 7-8 can only be explained by software bugs or shady processes running in the background.
I actually did disable through ADB several dozens of bloatware and the SOT went back to 12 hours... For one charge. Afterwards it didn't became as bad as it was, but it settled at around 10 hours, usually. Seems as if some of the spying crap detects it had been disabled in its original package so perhaps duplicates which exist under different names start operating as backup spyware.
I used to run very modded ROMs (on previous devices) and there was always some issue and all
So when I got my Redmi note 10 Pro I decided to stay on the official rom
As I was only moderately satisfied with it (rom, not device) and bored of waiting for updates
So I switched to Xiaomi.eu 14.0.1.0, around 10 days ago and I am more than satisfied
It's still very close (based on) to the official Chinese rom, but debloated and fixed
There's no thread for it (yet)
You can find everything there :
