About the release

My Android 8.0 bring-up started in April with my AOSP Master project.
Master being the mainline public Android development, it helped getting
most of the hardware requirements for the next Android release prepared
and ready for the evolution along the weeks. Though 8.0.0 introduced
more hardware changes and improvements, it was ready for about 75% of the needs.

Full details about the initial boot are explained here : #post73504552

About the initial public release - 01/09/2017

I use it as daily since July on Huashan (SP) and Mint (T)
For now, Camera is removed on purpose as I'm working on it. The initialization fails in the middle
Bluetooth worked up to July, and since then the list is empty due to timeouts. Being looked at
Binding with already paired Bluetooth devices like car radio should work but rare user-unfriendly conditions for now
Installs and works properly with MultiROM current release

As the XT device is my nieces one and she needs it, I unfortunately can't test it... But I will upgrade, as soon as your work becomes official

MichaBit · Sep 2, 2017

This Oreo here really gives me reason to assume @AdrianDC builds faster than his shadow. :good:
How does he do that?

Details: I redesigned the DeviceSettings UI

The access is no longer attached to Oreo's new Settings layout System, but instead in Display where it should be
Summaries were added and icons removed to match the surrounding options
The original Ambient Display switch is manually hidden for the moment, will see if it's kept that way or not
The design follows the main Settings design, ActionBar colors match the proper theme, back arrow enabled
Ambient Display now toggled in a switch bar similar to WiFi
Useless first section title removed
