Hello everyone,
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are now getting Android 11 Developer Preview 2!!
As the name suggests, this build of Android 11 is best suited for developers and other early adopters, as it is still in an early stage of development. That said, we do not recommend flashing this ROM if you have little to no experience in software development or flashing custom ROMs, or if you expect to use the device as a daily driver. Proceed at your own RISK!
Known Issues
- All data will be cleared while flashing the build
- Certain UI screens look less than desirable
- Some camera functions are not available
- Some apps may not function as expected
- System stability issues
Caution!
You should understand there is a risk of BRICKING your phone, read the instructions carefully and be 100% sure of what you are doing. Please always backup your important data before flashing.
Please note:
- These instructions are only for the OnePlus 8 series. Please make sure the battery level is above 30% and a minimum 3GB of storage space is available.
- The OnePlus 8 series carrier devices (TMO/VZW) aren't compatible with the Developer Preview builds.
MP version = Stable official version
DP version = Developer Preview version
