Yes, same error as Scooter2014 here.

Robert, 2.1.2 worked for me. Thanks.

Sorry, we forgot to update the V2.12 tools.

Nice runs ok. I know preview.

You tube apk not updated normal as new is.
Partitions wrong only show 4 gig men.
Network not working locks out Wi-Fi if plugged in Wi-Fi works once in plugged.

For beta pretty good. Video fast snappy ui. More issues likely to be found but good start for first device with O. :grin:

I mean after final release :slight_smile:

Final release? You meant the stable version, right?

Yes, right. :slight_smile:

Will the Oreo release support LDAC and AAC audio codecs ?

I tested the ROM and found the following show stoppers for me

1, Using the ExoPlayer reference player this version of Android not not seem to support MPEG-2 video or AC3 decoding in hardware.

  1. Could not find how to use the balbes150 zip file to get back to LE.

Does the Bluetooth/BLE/BT and Wifi Working at this version?
Also, we’d hope to install the Gapps, is the Google play service work?

Yes, the Bluetooth/Wifi and Gapps all work at this version.

Was from updated to include fixes as well? If not should update to latest release.
