Hello Guys.
I know there are a few Oreo based ROMs out there for our device MOTO Z PLAY.
I cannot install all these due to time and data usage restrictions.
If anyone could tell me what could be best option in terms of stability and camera performance, that would be highly appreciated!
Wait for stable Oreo stock. Patience is a virtue.
Oreo official should be coming very soon. I can say i have tried every single oreo custom rom on my phone and eventually i went back to stock N because there was one thing or another which wasnt quite right. E.g with xperience 12 the rom works very well but i could not save photos to sd card and i really need to do this so i had to go back.
I think this is good.
Hello anilkumar121989, I am testing the cosmic addison so far 3 days of testing and an update does not hear bugs, and I am really enjoying the ROM design and in that little time of use it has remained stable.

Just wait for official
All Oreo ROM are still in beta and release candidate state so bugs are to be found here and there. Most have camera saturation bug, unable to save photo to sdcard, and lower volume speaker but if you can live with that I've found that AOSP, Cosmic, and Xperience to be stable enough for daily use.
Also, there are no black theme, night mode, RAW capture, and Camera2API in official Oreo so I much prefer custom ROM plus our Devs are awesome like Alberto and TeamMex to mention a few, you shouldn't worry too much about bugs.
Thanks for the effort, but it is better to wait for the official update.
If you are too eager to get Oreo now... Try the official Oreo soak test... Just amazing... No bug at all... Superb audio and finally I can call using volte on second sim
Camera does not work

Whenever I install a 8.0 or .8.1 ROM, with x64 or x86 gaps. The camera does not work. some things work for third-party camera apps. :crying:
My Moto Z Play reteu is on stock Android 7.0. It has unlocked bootloader and it's rooted.
Let's say Oreo is released. For obvious reasons I can't install any OTA updates. So, will there be a way to install Oreo via bootloader (fastboot)? Even if it's rooted? I'm really noob to this. Thanks in advance.

True. Camera/video haunts most of the devices using custom ROMs. But using footej helps. So not much of an issue. Once you start using Oreo, forget stock you will never come back to 7.1 even!
Indeed, Oreo rom works great with FP gestures even though its unofficial. Some rumors is that the 15.1 LOS Oreo rom is going official so development is not dead. Go to some stable oreo roms instead of stock and wait and see if P roms will be available for P2 (it most certainly wont)

I would just add to your comment that Android P will be officially released at the earliest in August.
It is not at all certain that someone will develop a custom Rom based on Android P for our Lenovo P2.
If "Yes" I think You don't expect to have it available before the end of this year.
So, I finally changed to Oreo, since FP gestures are also available. XenonHD is awesome.
Video recording bug is solved through adding
media.camera.ts.monotonic=0
TO build.prop file.
It is sometimes a bit buggy when using whatsapp built-in videocamera app but normal camera apps work just fine. Snap Camera is my favorite by the way.

Is is stable on mine aex the best Oreo Rom I've ever seen only problem is fp gestures who I don't care about I don't use them
Hey guys !! First of all taking so early about Android P is useless cause Google has released only 2nd beta. Now there will be 3rd beta and then the final update with source codes. Without source codes nobody is able to build a custom rom. Google releases the codes only with the final update. Secondly shubam the well known dev said that they have put there hard earned money in P2 so as long as there P2 is good and running we will get updates. We can even expect Android Q.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Hello everybody,
Title says it all, I heard the requirements for flashing an Android Q GSI was increased, does the Lenovo P2a42 still manage to get away with it? It runs Oreo and Pie just fine, with the Treble enabled, but that's about it.
Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-q-beta-gsi-project-treble/
The build.prop says my current ROM is running Treble, however the other 2 tests mentioned in the source show false for me, and I'm not sure if I did it wrong, or my current ROM simply didn't support it, or is this phone finally meeting its end? Can it handle Android Q's requirements or is this the end?
Thank you for your time.
You are thinking way too much. Just enjoy the moment and don't stress much dude. When Q is released, we will know it. As long as the devs are interested, everything is possible.
Is there any full supported a/b methodology?

At the moment, Bootleggers 4.3 is the most stable Android 9 ROM for P2. No Android 10 is at its level due to stability issues.

Hey. If P2 users have a telegram channel, please let me know.
Anyone working on it ? I'm happy to test it
Waiting so long since AOSP is officially announced, and seeing other phone like Mix 2/2s Mi8 already got a custom rom made me sad
Those devices (most of them) have Beta ROMs from Xiaomi with updated drivers. That's why they have full 10 ROMs.

People are working on it, be patient.
Xiaomi released a timeline for MIUI 11 beta and global ROMs which can be found here.
TLDR; The Chinese beta ROM should be rolling out to the Mix 3 starting Sept 27th. The global ROM should be rolling out mid-October.

Awe man. Thanks for the info! How is it?
So..if our device has been confirmed to get Android 10, and MIUI 11 will still stick to Pie...when we will get it? When Android 11 will be avaible? Just saying..
Its simple. First we will get MIUI 11 based on Pie, later we will get update to newer Android still with MIUI 11.

MIUI's naming convention doesn't necessarily align with Android's. Hence why some devices running MIUI 11 are based off Pie while others are based off Android 10. Xiaomi will probably update MIUI 11 to Android 10 in future updates for the devices which aren't already.

I knew about MIUI acting differently from EMUI. But not updating OS makes almost no sense, because Mix 3 is a device with one year of life. Should have priority in major updates or am i wrong? Anyway, i think it should get at least 2 majors when time will come. Thanks for the answer
it's out with .eu rom ^^. Very smooth. Nice looking.
Did you wipe data before flashing it?, I flashed ir right away without knowing it was android 10 based and it is glitched as hell, with apps crashing and such.
Dirty flash
All my stuff is working. No force close, but slow with multi-tasking. battery life is amazing
Bug I found :
assistant don't work with the ai button.
Loud speaker don't work

I just updated from MIUI 10.3.2.0 global stable (android 9) to MIUI 11.1 Xiaomi.eu weekly beta (9.12.12 based on android 10) without any issues. I was rooted with TWRP installed on 10.3.2.0, here's what I did (this will wipe all your data so make backups beforehand):
Put Xiaomi.eu 9.12.12 on a USB-C flash drive (not necessary but a little easier than transferring it via cable)
Booted to TWRP
Wipe > Factory reset
Wipe > Format data (then typed 'yes' to confirm)
Wiped dalvik & cache
Went back to reboot options > booted to TWRP (recovery) again
Flashed 9.12.12 zip from flash drive
Wiped dalvik & cache
Booted to system. No app crashes or lag or anything
Also you can downgrade from the Xiaomi.eu android 10 ROMs. It's not super clear whether the Mix 3 has active anti-rollback or not (some sources say yes but plenty of people have been able to go back and forth without issue with an unlocked bootloader). I checked the ARB versions just to be safe and for 10.3.2.0 and 11.1 they are both 2 so there should be no issue downgrading with an unlocked bootloader.
Devs are waiting for this:

Unfortunately the kernel they are referencing has to be for the 5G Mix 3. The perseus still only has a pie branch. I know a lot of people have been working on this, myself included. I got something to compile the other night, however it does not boot. I know there are smarter people than me working on this and I know how long it took to build a tree (with full kernel source) for the LG G3 when I was working on that device.
Edit: so poking around for the first time not on my phone, I found this: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/dipper-q-oss
That tree is now tagged like it's for many devices - I think a n00b made that commit, cause that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

As a normal user, i can't understand what language you are speaking lol, just seen that post on xda news and i though that's a great news.
Great to know that there are devs still working on this phone!
So after testing AOSP extended, LineageOS17, Havoc OS and even DerpFest OS, I think moto z2 (albus) doesn't do great with GSI for android 10. There always was something off and the stability was far from one you expect from a gsi. I used KVT 2.3 aroma to boot. However, there are other devs releasing unofficial GSI roms as well which I haven't tested. Like ExPressLukeGSI or Trisquel collection which probably has a special thing for albus. So I am posting this expecting replies from anyone showing love to z2 play, If you know something then tell me. If you want to test the GSIs and can't find links, ask me.
i would to try gsi but i use daily mt phone and i need to something stable at now mokee is working ok but i had a issue with calls. i never try this treble roms xd

does anyone know if they are developing a gsi or normal Android 10 ROM for Moto Z2 Albus because I have been waiting for it for a long time and I would like to ask that please continue supporting this team please
@Euiz702 GSI is not specific for some device. You can use almost any GSI on Z2 Play already now

What kind of problems did you have? I'm testing phusson's plain AOSP and so far works good. Scrolling and some apps, especially Google maps run smoother than on stock Pie. I'm using modded Google Camera 6 (shared in Apps&Mods forum), it works good, just HDR+ can't be turned off and it tends to improve reality too much. I just didn't manage to install Magisk yet.
I also wanted to try Trisquels's gsi-albus stuff, but SourceForge has been working badly recently and I wasn't able to download anything

If you want a rom with good battery life, try DescendantOS x (10). Havoc is good, but not for battery life.

I don't know and I already left. But before, my battery usually lasted for one day, now maybe half maybe a bit more.
I tried DescendantX, but it seemed a bit undone with something in status bar. But maybe I try it once more.
I also tried GSIs from gsi-albus project on SourceForge and they seem good, but they have always navigation bar on and fingerprint gestures off (doesn't matter what you select in kvt installer). So I wander whether they are really built with Albums in mind...
Can someone here help me decide whether to take the plunge or not into flashing a custom ROM on my daily driver Z2 Play, by clarifying some of my doubts.
1) Whether the Moto experiences like Moto Actions and Moto Display will be available when using custom ROMs and GSIs?
2) Will it be possible to return to stock ROM after flashing a 64bit Treble based ROM?
3) Also what is the best, most stable Android 9 or 10 based ROMs for Moto Z2 Play?

There are no stable Pie or Q ROMs for Z2 Play unfortunately. Only GSI ones that are all more or less bugged and it seems like no developer is interested in this phone anymore. For stable ROMs you can choose only from 8.1 ones which are all quite outdated at this point as well. Anyway I use unofficial LineageOS 15.1 as daily driver for like 1,5 year now and have no complaints, it's absolutely rock solid and latest release has February 2020 security patches. Moto actions, Moto display (kinda, it's different than stock) and fingerprint gestures works.
But honestly I don't think there is much point in flashing custom rom now, especially if you have stock 9.0.
Pixel experience plus on Albus
I have flashed the Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI on Albus by using the latest KVT 2.4 and it works like charm.
There are no major bugs, everything is working fine like basic functions and performance is awesome.
Only ambient display is not working, other than that almost everything is working fine and this GSI can be used as daily driver.
And magisk is also working.
Did anyone tried to install Erfan's Oxygen OS GSI on Albus???

Good to hear that pixel experience is working for you. I am based in india and none of gsi seem to provide volte functionality. Can you confirm that the rom you have tried is working with volte? Please provide the source of the pixel experience gsi you have tried. i have tried Erfans gsi, its same volte doesn't work. Thanks
