NEW device R819 by Oppo - Discussion/Pictures

OPPO just revealed a new device, the R819, on their social networking channels.
http://en.oppo.com/press/press-releases/oppo-r819-convenience-without-compromise/
The R819 boasts a 4.7” IPS screen with OGS technology for amazing viewing angles and ample space for content.
Using this smartphone is simpler than ever before. Gestures let you control waking, answering and silencing your device with the slightest movements.
And the 2000 mAh battery supports a long-lasting charge to get more out of your phone. R819 also has dual SIM card support so you can use two numbers at once and get more use out of just one device.
The R819 is outfitted with an f/2.0 aperture 8 megapixel Sony Exmor BSI back facing camera for great shots in low light conditions.

Yep a mid-range device not a flagship sequel. It's been available in China as the R819T so no surprises really. That said not changing the name is a poor decision as its hardly memorable.
Dual SIM is nice as is stock Android option and I suppose it's a bit thinner. Personally I'd be happy with a bit more depth if it meant a bigger battery. Aside from that it's pretty average fare. Not sure how having both cameras doing 1080p video when the storage is an unexpandable 16gb. Hope buyers have a good internet speed and limit to get them to the cloud. Or like very regular backups to another storage space.
Personally was hoping for a successor to the F5 which then could be dropped in price a little to attract more buyers. Then again not everyone wants a 5 inch 1080 display.

XDA TV video today will be the unboxing of it. I compare it to an S2, when I used it a few weeks back it was decent. Something that's great for mom and dad.

My folks are still bamboozled by a Nokia 3210!

Is it the original ROM or did you flash your phone with a new one ? (In OPPO Forum some user dosen't have the same language choice)

I think you are mixing phone language and input language.
These are the phone languages (menus, apps, etc.)

You are right, I'm mixing the both.
Sorry and tanks for your help.

I receive mine yesterday (well it is for my wife but whatever).
I am pretty disappointed by the Color Rom, it seems to be pretty buggy.
Example :
- No french language ...
- I install Swiftkey yesterday, worked fine, doesn't work anymore after a reboot ... (cannot choose swiftkey in input method)
- Widgets of new apps do not appear in the widget list (google calendar, weather widget, ...)
Last thing is the official vanilla android rom is nowhere to be seen ...Ok the device is just out, I guess we have to wait.
On the other hand, build quality is very good and the device great.

Pour le français il faut que tu installe la version AOSP. Vas jeter un coup d’œil sur le forum oppo.

En plus elle est moins buggé, j'ai pu configurer mon compte exchange alors qu'avec la color rom c'était impossible.

Just to let you know, the pre-installed rom is NOT Color Rom, it is just basic Oppo rom. Color Rom is coming in November.

Thanks for the info.
At least I can now flash the early AOSP and come back to this ROM if I have any problems.

Can you give us some feedback about the GPS performance... Mediatek phones have gained the reputation of having an useless GPS receiver.
That's the main reason that is preventing me from buying an cheap Chinese dual-sim android.

Just wait and see. No ETAs. You should try to build it yourself and you can see that it is not easy thing to do.
So please be patience. There are people already working hard to get it even to boot.

Having the same or simialiar SoC doesn't mean that the ROMs can be built identically. Just wait. Anyway early builds will be not stable enough to be used on a daily basis. So keep patient and wait for a normal(stable rom)

Want Oreo? Here's some

Android Oreo Roadmap'ish Post
Ok, so obviously many of you want to know about Oreo. The short version is that it will be quite a while. If you are expecting "weeks", revise your perception now.
There are lots of things that need to happen before Oreo is more than a dream for the vast majority of crDroid users. Since we optimize and customize from the LOS base, we can't even do anything yet. Roughly, this is how I expect things will go:
-----
1) LOS has to have a functioning base.
2) LOS needs to release device trees for O.
2a) For device trees we maintain (which are typically only on devices we own), we can look at and pull from their Gerrit experimentally. We will not do this for devices we do not own.
2b) For devices we don't own (what I refer to as "legacy devices"), the LOS DTs need to be fully up to date and functioning. Fair warning - these devices will definitely take longer to release than devices we own. It's a fact of life you'll just have to deal with.
3) LOS needs to release kernels for O. Some exceptions to kernels can be made; for instance I use ElementalX on my Pixel/XL builds. By and large, LOS needs a kernel for us to build any device.
4) There need to be gapps packages released for O (Open or Beans, but there has to be a package). Maybe nothing has to be done for these; maybe something does, we don't know yet.
5) We need to internally test for stability and full functionality.
6) At that point, we will release late beta / early release candidates for the public to test for bugs. Again, these releases will be for devices we own. Others will come only after we have gotten these stable and fully released.
7) We will have released the first crDroid builds at that point. Note they will be very near stock LOS. I'm 100% sure +Pranav Vashi will work some optimization magic like he always does, and maybe even add some features, so it won't be pure LOS, but it will be close.
8) Gradually, and selectively, we can start adding crDroid specific features. We will go slow. We do not want to just throw everything and the kitchen sink at it, because some features from N may not work on O, or may only half-way work. Heck, we have features now that don't fully work (I'm looking at you, ambient display). IMHO, and I believe I speak for our devs, we don't want to go crazy adding ALL THE THINGS immediately.
-----
Once crDroid as a whole is about where we want it, and fully operational / mostly bug free on our devices, only then we will start to branch out to other devices, assuming LOS has the device trees and kernels released for them.
If your device does NOT have a LOS device tree and kernel for O, and won't be getting it, chances are very good that support for your device will be dropped, unless you come up with a dedicated maintainer with the device that is willing to take on that project.
Chances are solid that we will be dropping a fair amount of devices. Some maintainers aren't even producing N builds like they should. With the first Oreo releases, we'll be culling the deadwood from the team.
Things you, as our community, should NOT do:
a) Do NOT request ETAs. Just don't. We don't know. We will let you know when we do. I'll even try to keep you up to date on internal progress, of which there is zero right now because we have to wait on LOS.
b) Do NOT request additional devices, unless your request comes with a maintainer. No maintainer, no devices will be added at this time.
c) Do NOT request feature additions yet. The temptation is strong, but let us get our feet wet, and get the base + what features we deem most important running well first. After that maybe we'll entertain these things.
Things you, as our community, should do:
Be patient. That's it. Thank you in advance for that.
Best,
The crDroid Team

Oops. Did not know it was an old news as the MIUI website thread was written few days before.
Since it was there for 2 months, how come no experience cook interested to build one or port other ROM for Mi 8SE?

Look like we had to wait for some time before it picked by an experience cook to produced any custom ROM for us.
Or maybe they are waiting for the Android pie source code before spark the stove?
Hmm...

What does this mean? Why is there no MI 8 custom ROMs yet? Am getting worried that this phone will have lack of support... did I mistakenly buy this device thinking there will be great support for Custom ROM?

I dont think mi 8 source code is out. Hopefully it comes out soon. I was hoping for a decent amount of third party roms and mods with this device. Going from a Oneplus device to xiaomi there is much less than the OP6 had in the first week of it coming out

Interesting.. The kernel source pointed out that this phone uses EAS instead of the archaic SMP. Battery life must be superb. Thinking to pick one up.

It definitely helps with the general smoothness, it's the qcom version of EAS which comes with SD710 if I'm not mistaken. Both the Mi 8 SE and Mi 8 have it so you can't do wrong with anyone of them and the SE is currently the absolute best at the sub-300 Euro price point.

What is the GPU frequency.?I think we can overclock both CPU and GPU.Qualcomm has undercloced the soc otherwise it will beat SD 835

I know I'm no dev but my take on future custom ROM is because pie have better support for notched screens and also current lineage os is not compatible with notched screens phones atm. I will stay patient for a pie release

Unless there is a committed dev, there might not that many releases ahead. Perhaps it would be wise to switch to something more common?

but the truth is that for the use that I give it. This rom that I specify above works fine for me .. what I mean by this is the bugs that the rom has are in functions that I don't use. for example .. hands-free echo .. video calls. the front camera flash is replaced by the screen flash .. and I don't really capture selfies myself .. or make hands-free calls or video calls, so for me, it's perfect .. but thank you very much for your time.

Question Favorite A13 ROMs?

Of the various ROMs available for the OP 9 Pro that are running A13, what's everyone's favorite and why? Currently looking at StagOS, PixelExtender, and Paranoid Android, but not really sure what the respective pros and cons of each are.

Oficial Beta 2

I havent tried any of the A13 custom roms since im waiting on some features to get added. But i have tried the A12 versions and my favorite so far is the blissRom. Its has the most features that I am looking for and I had the least amount of problems on that rom.

I am on Xtended using microG - even if it does not supports sign-spoof
I also tried COS but ... custom is better for me

Yes, I really like the A13 Official. Looks like the A12 was a test for this 13. I love it.

I would really like to see the official riceDroid rom for our device in the forum.
This is the best rom i ever used and has very supportive developers, but unfortunately we got only some unstable A12 releases for it and no release for A13 so far...

Hi, of course, I've been using beta 2 since launch and I come from beta 1, just so far I haven't noticed any problems, zero. I got tired of trying out custom roms, several of them, and I never had a lack of bugs, in addition to problems with excessive battery consumption. Anyway, after trying several different roms, definitely the best and least problematic and the original to use daily. (but attention, I'm just curious and I like to fiddle around on the phone, I'll always try it again, just because I like doing these things, it's like a hobby for me)
