Yes, same error as Scooter2014 here.

Robert, 2.1.2 worked for me. Thanks.

Gouwa · December 30, 2017, 12:14pm

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

Scooter2014 · January 3, 2018, 12:20am

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.

I mean after final release

Gouwa · January 19, 2018, 1:24am

Final release? You meant the stable version, right?

davemf · January 19, 2018, 5:07am

Yes, right.

Tigger · January 21, 2018, 9:32pm

Will the Oreo release support LDAC and AAC audio codecs ?

emveepee · January 22, 2018, 9:27pm

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.

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?

Terry · February 6, 2018, 8:25am

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

Scooter2014 · March 21, 2018, 2:23pm
